Notes on Leisurely Living in the Farm

Chapter 89

Mu Ran jumped off the horse neatly, walked to the side of the carriage, raised the curtain and looked at the sleeping daughter-in-law inside.

"Yi..." Sister Qiao just wanted to speak out, but he hurriedly put his ten fingers on his lips: "Shh, keep your voice down."

"oh oh!"

Sister Qiao smiled ambiguously, opened a little gap and was the last to get out of the car.Mu Ran sat on the edge of the carriage, said goodbye softly, and then drove the carriage forward.

Although the snow has not yet melted, a thick layer of ice has formed on the road.The wooden shafts ran over it, leaving two darker ruts.With a clatter of horseshoes, they walked all the way to Yongping Square.

"Well."

When Yiyou woke up, she was already in someone's arms.Smelling Mu Ran's familiar smell, she didn't doubt it, but lay down in peace.

"Go into the house right away, don't come down."

"what?"

She was startled when a gust of cold wind blew by, and the low shelf in front of the door came into view, and the happy words that hadn't been removed hung on the wall. This was her newly married courtyard house.

"What about them?"

"I've already returned home, seeing that you are sleeping soundly, no one woke you up."

Yi You was a little embarrassed, last night she counted the New Year's rituals and didn't rest until very late, and got up early again this morning, so she slept for less than two hours in total.So as soon as she got into the carriage and landed on the ground, sleepy people rushed up, listening to Zhang and the others, she fell asleep involuntarily.

Sitting on the kang, she wiped her face carelessly with the hot water poured over by Mu Ran, and then lay down on her back.

Mu Ran also climbed up, hugged her in his arms, and took off the little golden flower tines on her head bit by bit.With the black hair hanging down, he spread his five fingers through Shun Hao, and then stroked it on her chest.

"It's so dangerous today, I don't even have the strength to remove my hair."

Mu Ran put the hairpin on the kang table beside him: "Just now in Zhizhou Mansion, I saw you and the master's wife were very angry, I really thought you were fine."

"Why is she so angry, she pours dirty water on my head again and again. If I don't talk anymore, she really thinks my husband is useless."

"Oh?"

Yiyou turned over and pointed at her finger: "Of course it's not just for you, because I can't get angry. You also know that I am irritable, and I never want to be more patient."

After she finished speaking, she lowered her head, her irritable temper was not a good thing.The reason why she dared to speak out was because she knew that the two of them would spend their entire lives in the future. Although it is true that enduring it now can make a difference, what should she do in the next few years?
Let her pretend for a lifetime, she really can't pretend.

"What's going on here?"

Mu Ran's doubtful voice came, and she raised her head cautiously: "Brother Mu, you really don't hate it?"

Mu Ran was taken aback for a moment, and then he really couldn't laugh or cry: "Baby, you are really too careful, you don't know, those rough men in the army are usually more violent than gunpowder. Especially General Liao, he..."

"What about him?"

Mu Ran never judged Shangfeng much, this is his experience in the army for many years.But looking down at the little daughter-in-law lying in his arms, the pupils in her almond eyes were dark and round, looking at him round and round like a cat, which made him lose his soul.

"It's okay to tell you, General Liao has the hottest temper. If he is delayed by one step when he goes out to fight and gather, he will drag it down to beat the Tenth Army Stick."

"That's the way it is, but the military law is like a mountain, so it's good."

"Well, that's natural."

Yiyou fiddled with the ends of her hair: "I don't think all officials are as upright and selfless as General Liao. We offended Chen Deren so much today, so we have to be careful in the future. Speaking of which, most of the incidents were caused by me, and my husband was troubled." .”

Mu Ran stroked her lips with his thumb, and smoothed the bulge: "What does the family talk about, and you don't care much about this matter. It's because General Liao is not surnamed Chen."

Yi Youle: "The emperor's surname is not Chen, why doesn't the Chen family blame him?"

"They don't dare, so don't think too much, baby. It's getting late, and the squab stewed for my husband should be enough."

"What squab?"

"Squab pigeon soup, I heard from Mr. Tie that this is the most delicious."

"Oh, where did the pigeon come from?"

Mu Ran pointed to the sky: "There are always a few pigeons that are delivered by the county government. You can't keep them to spend food. As a husband, you can only try to share the worries of the county magistrate."

Yiyou looked behind him, he didn't grow a tail, how could he become like this... Well, it's not a bad thing to be glib.

"Keep it, you will need it to deliver letters in the future."

"Ma'am, don't worry, your husband knows what to do."

Mu Ran patted his chest, and brought his right cheek closer: "Today's beard is very clean, Ma'am, look, there's not even a hair there, right?"

Of course Yiyou knew, looking at his expectant eyes, she put her palm down, and then pressed it on his face: "For your reward, cook the soup well, don't put too much salt."

Mu Ran was taken aback, looked at her and shook his head helplessly.Just about to reach out and ask for another note, the little daughter-in-law has already rolled into the kang, wrapped herself in the quilt and closed her eyes.

"I'll squint for a while, and my husband will call me after cooking."

"Well, you have a good rest."

Yiyou shivered, she always felt that the meaning of these words was not simple.Wouldn't it be what she thought?Probably not, after all he is not made of iron.

Although it is dark and early in winter, the snow in the courtyard has not yet melted.A little bit of light reflected through the snow can show an extra layer of light.

Mu Yu rushed back excitedly, and handed her two big characters: "Sister-in-law, I wrote it, can you take a look?"

Yiyou took it over and looked at it, it was a thousand-character essay.She has not read many books, and now Mu Yu writes, half of which she no longer knows.

"Who called you?"

"I drew it myself, I just don't know how to pronounce it."

"Sister-in-law doesn't know either. After a few days, you'll go to the official school. When you've learned it, come back and teach me and your brother, okay?"

"it is good."

Mu Ran came in from the outside with a cup of pigeon soup squatting in his hand.The soup cup was opened, and the delicate aroma unique to the squab quickly spread to every corner of the room. He directly put the soup on the side close to Yiyou.

"These are enough for us to eat, Mu Yu, bring the bowl."

On her side, Mu Ran smashed the pigeon eggs one by one on the table, lifted a point of them, and stroked them down, peeling off the coherent egg shell like an apple peel, revealing the white and smooth egg white inside.When the egg white is put into the soup, it looks like two white jade dumplings embedded in it.

Yiyou took a sip of the soup, squinting her eyes enjoying it in her mouth: "The fire is just right, Duanyang is doing well, you should also eat more meat."

Sitting aside, Mu Ran looked a little chilly, Yiyou understood, picked up the spoon, turned it towards him and dropped it into his bowl.

"cough."

"Brother Mu, what's going on?"

"It's nothing." Mu Ran touched his Adam's apple, secretly controlling his rising jealousy.After a while, he can always find it when it gets dark.

Yiyou instinctively felt that it was dangerous, so he quickly scooped up a spoonful of soup: "You should also drink more, ten days from tomorrow, we're afraid we won't be able to use it so well."

Speaking of this, Mu Ran's face was completely gloomy, 23 is a young year, no matter what, he should go back to the countryside to worship his ancestors.After that, Yiyou went back to her mother's house on the third day of the new year, and they probably had to live in Yunling Village.Although he has repeatedly assured that the Mu family is not a threat, he is not quite sure what those people will do.

The meal was finished in silence, and just before the curfew, a servant from the county government came and brought a pair of Spring Festival couplets and two "Fu" characters.

The Spring Festival couplets originated hundreds of years ago, and they were originally a local custom.The founding emperor of Piansheng Dayue loved this thing very much. In the first year after the capital was established in Yuejing, he ordered everyone to write on red paper and paste it on the door for the New Year.He even visited privately and wrote Spring Festival couplets for people who can't write.

The world has changed over the past few decades, and every family in Dai Viet has posted Spring Festival couplets in this meeting.Because of this thing, a rough man and a woman in the countryside who originally had different big characters can recognize both characters no matter what.Yiyou didn't pay much attention to this at first, but now she realizes that she almost forgot about it.

"My lord wrote this in person after he returned to the mansion. He is so good at ink, and the first one was sent to the mansion of the county lieutenant."

Yiyou rewarded him with a few copper coins, put them away and hurriedly told Mu Yu: "Just write a Spring Festival couplet."

"Sister-in-law, I will write more and send them to Changsheng."

Yiyou slapped her forehead, but she forgot about it: "Okay."

After entering the kitchen, Mu Ran put the more broken sticky rice noodles in the pot, Duanyang added firewood, and after a while, a pot of paste came out.While it was still dry, she stirred it with chopsticks, and followed Mu Ran to the door of the room.

The gate of the courtyard house is not big, and it is a little wide to draw the Spring Festival couplets.She folded it carefully, then trimmed the arrow with scissors along the line.After the two sides faced each other, Mu Ran stretched out his hand to make a gesture, and then began to smear the paste.

Yiyou stood beside him, helping him pass the paste.A thick layer of paste was painted on the wall, and she looked away.

"Go up."

"Further down."

"No, no, Brother Mu, stop, we posted it backwards."

The couple put their heads together and read the Spring Festival couplet: "New Year is Yuqing, Jiajie is Changchun."

"Which sentence should come first?"

Neither of them had read many books, and they didn't even know the word "Jia", so they were worried for a while.In the end, it was Mu Yu who came out: "Sister-in-law is right, it should be that the New Year is in front, and the Chinese New Year, of course the year is the biggest."

The upper line is posted on the left, the lower line is on the right, Yiyou and Mu Yu stepped back to watch, pointing out the heights from time to time.

"It's too far, you have to go to the right."

"Go to the left, no brother Mu, you are not very good at horseback riding and archery, why don't you even have the accuracy to post Spring Festival couplets."

Mu Ran turned his face to the wall and took a deep breath.He didn't dare to say: he just felt that the little daughter-in-law walked up and down, looking at him all the time, and it felt good to speak every sentence.After the death of his parents, it was the first time in these years that he posted Spring Festival couplets in such a lively manner. This touch made his whole heart warm.

"Hand born."

Although he said so, he didn't make any mistakes when he posted again.The Spring Festival couplets and blessing characters were quickly pasted up, and the red paper was pasted on the wooden door that was freshly painted with tung oil, and the joy of the New Year burst out immediately.

"There is still some face, let's steam some rice cakes while it's still hot, and bring them back tomorrow."

"Row."

Close the wooden door and light the kerosene lamp, the family is busy in the dim light.Although Yiyou didn't work very much in the past few months, her skillful hands were not unfamiliar at all, and a little rice cake hedgehog appeared under her hand after a few strokes.

"By the way, how many children are there in the Mu family, and what do they like?"

"There are quite a few children, but you don't have to think too much about it, just seal a few copper coins as red envelopes."

Yiyou shook her head: "Why are they all Brother Mu's family members? Even though they are not very close to you and Mu Yu in the past, Mu Yu will enter an official school after the next year. We will go back to celebrate the New Year. We can't let people say anything wrong it is good."

It was about his only biological brother, and Mu Ran couldn't help but get serious.Although Mu Yu's entry into the official school is a sure thing, there is still a possibility. If someone hides the truth from Chen Xiancheng and crosses Yunzhou to report to a higher-level governor's office, the governor will definitely dismiss the student directly.

"Then I will trouble you."

"Don't be so polite to me, these things are not difficult for me at all."

While speaking, Yiyou used a blade to cut out a koi rice cake, dotted some red color on the scales, bent its tail again, and the koi came alive.She is indeed telling the truth, making these small things is her innate talent, and for her, this matter is as simple as Mu Ran chopping wood with a knife.

Yiyou is busy living here, and in Yunlin Village over there, the eldest grandson Chunsheng, the grandson that Mrs. Shen has been waiting for, finally came to her door.

"Grandma, grandson misses you so much."

Mrs. Cheng followed behind, thinking about her son's plan, hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Mother, Chunsheng has been yelling to come and see you, but the official school work is too heavy. It won't be a holiday, he will come back after packing up the house."

The old lady was lying on the kang. Although she was still unable to walk, her face and body were still clean.In the past few months, Shen Fuxiang has taken good care of her, washing clothes, cooking, cooking and stewing medicine.Resisting the scolding, the old lady who absolutely wants to serve is Shu Tantan.People who have met in Yunlin Village say in private that the fourth son of the Shen family is like this, and it is not an exaggeration to compare it with those in 24 Xiaoshang.

"Chun S..." The old lady's dry voice sounded, her eyes were fixed on the scar on his face, and she raised her hand to stroke it there.

"This……"

"Grandma, I'm fine, I'll go get you some water."

As soon as Chunsheng walked away, Cheng's tears came down: "Mother, Chunsheng won't let me tell, but I feel really sad. That child is sincere and wants to get close to his younger brother Changsheng. But now he is a poor scholar. Changsheng, who is supported by the official brother-in-law, can't be seen in his eyes. He and Erya sister and brother directly beat Chunsheng into that appearance."

"What?" Shen Fuxiang's unbelievable voice came, and Chunsheng handed over the water glass.

The old lady took it, and threw it directly on top of Shen Fuxiang's head, black eyes the size of a teacup covered his face, and a cup of scalding water flowed down his chin into the cotton-padded jacket.Shen Fuxiang hurriedly took it off, it was the new dress given by his daughter, he thought he would take it out and put it on when he was celebrating the new year tomorrow.

"evil……"

Shen Fuxiang still didn't believe it: "In the past, Erya and Changsheng were often dragged into the pit by Siya, how could such an honest child do such a thing."

Thinking of Si Ya, Cheng Shi didn't want to say any more.It's not like she didn't doubt it when things developed to this day.If she had taught Siya to be a down-to-earth person back then, and not to think about those things that didn't reach the edge, would she have survived?

This thought was aggravated after Siya died, and Erya personally sent a funeral ceremony.In fact, she was using that niece from the beginning to the end, so Erya should hate her after she figured it out.Although she felt resentment in her heart because of Fu Hai's matter, what Erya said about karma that day was imprinted in her heart.The relationship between the two families was already at a standstill, and Erya also gave Chunsheng a good marriage, which made her anger dissipate a lot.

Although he was suspicious, Chunsheng put all his eggs in one basket and threatened that if she didn't help him, he would do it himself.She couldn't persuade her, and she was worried about her son, so she could only pretend to go on.

"mother."

When Chunsheng's voice of grievance came, Cheng's scalp felt numb for a while.She is helping the evildoers, but this is her own son, and her only living child, she really doesn't know what to do.

Before she could speak, the old lady coughed violently.With dim eyes, Chunsheng followed Shen Fuxiang to the door of the room.

"Fourth Uncle, I didn't lie to you. But Changsheng is a younger brother. I didn't plan to tell grandma. But Fourth Uncle, let me tell you, I'm afraid he will go astray if he continues like this. It doesn't matter if I stay close, if in the future If you meet someone who is famous and respectable, County Captain Mu can't cover it up, and it will be too late to teach him at that time."

It's not that Shen Fuxiang doesn't trust his son, but that Chunsheng's expression is too deceptive.Sighing, he finally agreed: "Fourth Uncle, why don't you accompany me, I will talk to Chang Sheng when I enter the city."

"It's not a new year, Changsheng has to go home to see you and grandma. This is the Shen family, so we can talk about anything."

Shen Fuxiang sounded reasonable, so he agreed.

Seeing him like this, Chunsheng went to the foot of Yunquan Mountain to fetch water.At the end of the year, the children are all fine, and they all gather at the foot of the mountain to pick up stones.With the disclosure of Baishi's secret recipe, most people like to add such a piece when cooking, not to mention the fire, the cooked dishes are still very fragrant.

"Cheng Hua."

The person Chunsheng called to stop was the little fatty of the Cheng family, the little grandson of the Cheng family who was still bloodied when the spring began, and who almost took the blame for him.

"Cheng Hua, it's been so long, and you're still so small."

Chunsheng throws over a piece of candy wrapped in red paper, which is exactly Yiyou's wedding candy when she got married.The other children couldn't save it, so he asked for an extra piece and didn't eat it, thinking about using it at this time.

The wedding candy was chosen by Zhang Shi, and from Zhang Shi's point of view, she would never look down on something that was too bad.These candies are all boiled with the cleanest white sugar, which tastes sweet in the mouth, and it tastes much better than the syrup boiled by ordinary people in the village.

Sweet in his heart, Cheng Hua was not so angry: "Chunsheng, what do you want to do?"

"What to do and what not to do, I haven't seen you for a long time, let's talk together."

After talking about Chunshengtuan, he silently invited with a snowball.Cheng Hua lowered his head to look at the candy. After all, half-grown children couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food and fun, so they grabbed snowballs and romped together.There were a lot of children at this meeting, and they quickly divided into two waves to hit the ski poles.

Chunsheng has been clever since he was a child, and he has quickly established his reputation as the king of children.Then, he inadvertently told the story of the scar on his face.

"Actually, it's not a big deal. The children in the city are different from our village. Changsheng is rich now, and he is also a young master. If I say something ugly, I just ignore it."

Children in Yunzhou are the most loyal, especially half-grown boys.Cheng Hua, who was born with a lack of muscle, began to criticize Changsheng in front of him, and Chunsheng explained it appropriately, adding fuel to the fire at the right time.Soon in the mouths of the children, the image of Changsheng who was greedy for vanity and greedy for vanity came to mind.

Chunsheng was happy, and casually put his arms around a child's shoulders: "Hey, Sister Changsheng is your little aunt. Tomorrow is the new year, you have to be careful, otherwise..."

He pointed to the scar on his face and shook his head helplessly.The round-faced little fat man of the Mu family next to him, imagining the little aunt who was like a bone spirit, wanted to cry without tears.The little aunt was terrible, and he had to go home and tell his parents.

Yiyou didn't know about all this, she was lying on the kang at the moment, looking at the black shadow rushing towards her, she wanted to cry without tears.

"Husband, I have to go back tomorrow."

"Well, I know." Mu Ran unbuttoned a button, secretly glad that he took care of her bun first in the afternoon.

"Husband, it's blue and purple, it's not good for people to see."

"I'll pay attention." Taking off his robe, he was impatient.

Today Chen Deren saw the hot eyes of his little daughter-in-law still imprinted in his heart. Although it has been some time since they got married, he still has a deep sense of uncertainty whenever he is alone.Such a beautiful, smart and capable little daughter-in-law really already belonged to him?Will he go home and find out that it was just a dream?
He urgently needs to use this to make sure that the little daughter-in-law belongs to him completely.

Being pressed under him, Yiyou was a little confused.Brother Mu is not like this in the past, why does he feel that he is particularly dangerous today.Puzzled, she could only be forced to bear the waves of heat he caused on her body.

"No, blow out the oil lamp."

The dim light hit the young daughter-in-law's body as white as jade, and Mu Ran's eyes caught fire.

Blow out the lamp?what does that mean!When the lights go out, it will all be pitch black.

"You blow out the lamp first, then talk about it, okay?"

It was Mu Ran's lips that responded to her, Yiyou frowned, and it didn't take long for her to realize that she was powerless to resist.

The shadow of the lamp swayed, reflecting the entangled figures of the two on the wall.The bright moon was setting in the west, and the sound of the watch was heard. The severe winter cold could not stop the blazing fire in the house. It was a warm night.

It was the morning when the waist was sore and the back hurt again, Yiyou looked at the two buckets of hot water beside the kang, and didn't give Mu Ran any good looks.

Wrapped in a quilt, she soaked herself directly in the bathtub.Wrapped in hot water, she yawned comfortably and fell asleep without knowing it.Until there was a tug in her hair, and the seductive fragrance woke her up.

Lowering her head, Mu Ran's face was reflected on the water of the tub, Yiyou blushed, "You...you didn't even know how to knock when you came in."

"I knocked."

"I've always been shallow, and I'll definitely hear you when you knock."

Mu Ran generously admitted: "I was afraid of waking you up, so I knocked very quietly. Don't come out, and catch a cold carefully."

Yiyou sank herself into the bathtub, she really had no way to deal with Mu Ran.Usually, her miss temper, which was the most melancholy of Mrs. Li, was completely tolerated by him.No matter how angry she was, he could always calm her down instantly like ice water.

Looking in front of her again, this man even took out the obscene clothes she liked and wiped her hair himself.She thought, if this continues, she will really be spoiled by him.

In this way, she couldn't help but say it.

"To be spoiled, how bad can it be?"

Hearing the banter in his words, Yiyou bristled her cheeks, and then raised her eyes: "Like the vixen sung in the drama, I drive you to eat bran and swallow vegetables by myself."

"Eating bran and swallowing vegetables is fine, as long as you don't drive me out of the kang."

"You..." Yiyou failed again, took the sesame cake by the tub, took a bite bitterly, and thought of the cake as Mu Ran.

A big head suddenly flashed in front of my eyes: "If baby wants to bite, go here, the cake is too hard."

"Your face is harder than a cake, and you have a beard on it, bite on it..."

Halfway through the talk, her face was pretty red, and her heart was pounding.What's the matter, usually she is not stupid, why every time she stays with Mu Ran, she can't help being at a disadvantage.

"Oh, baby, I really want to bite me. The bottom is soft, you can bite as long as you want."

Yiyou stood up from the water with a plop, and pinched him underneath: "You mean here?"

Mu Ran's heart trembled, and he could feel the comfort that penetrated every pore just through a layer of fabric.Looking further up, the young daughter-in-law was standing in front of him naked, this was the first time he had really seen a jade-like body during the day.

"Well, touch again."

Yiyou let go, and quickly retracted into the water.No, no, she is getting more and more stupid.If it goes on like this, Mu Ran will be determined, so it doesn't seem that she is too useless.

"What are you thinking about during the day, you are not allowed to eat this morning."

"Okay, baby, I can listen to everything."

Yiyou buried her head in the water, and she clenched her fists for a while.No, she has to revive her wife!

There was a commotion, and it was already late when she left, Yiyou was still a little worried, but Mu Ran's words comforted her.

"Those people are not my father and mother, why are you so nervous. The ancestor worship will only start in the afternoon, and it will not be too late for you to go after I cook some food."

Yiyou remembered Li Shi's teaching again: "Marry a husband and obey your husband, then I will obey your husband."

Mu Ran was very satisfied. He somewhat understood what the little daughter-in-law was thinking, but he was just impatient with dealing with relatives.But so what, he married his wife because it hurts, and he should be filial to his parents.But now that his serious parents are dead, what kind of relatives are the rest? As for embarrassing the young daughter-in-law for them?

A short walk across the edge of Yunlin Village is Yunling Village, where thousands of miles of fertile fields are now covered with snow.Under the snow are overwintered wheat seedlings.In the winter, the three-layer quilt is covered with wheat, and the cotton is used as a pillow to sleep in the coming year. Looking at the year, next year will definitely be a bumper harvest year.

The carriage went straight into the village, and a few children on the side of the road saw the carriage and horses passing by, chattering.

Yiyou didn't hear it clearly, but she knew a few words such as "Chunsheng", "Changsheng" and "Young Master".

It's not that she is sensitive, but she has to think twice about Chunsheng.That child has a lot of eyes and has always been a master who refuses to suffer.

"What's wrong? Worried about longevity?"

"Well, the secretary's wife hasn't come back yet. I thought about it, and the only people Chunsheng can use are the people in the village. Although most people have no bad intentions, rumors are fiercer than tigers."

"Don't worry, he can't make any big waves with me around."

Yiyou followed his words and nodded. Seeing that Mu Yu frowned, she hurriedly stroked her: "After going through all the things in Zhizhou Mansion, what else can make me worry, you all put your heart in your stomach."

But Mu Ran said: "As for the Zhizhou government, you don't have to worry about the Yin family. Although brother Liao has a bright temper, he is also quite a successful person. I am afraid that he has already written a secret letter by now. Li Jia hurriedly took him to Yuejing. General Liao is not good at strategy, but Brother Liao was born in adversity, and they have never seen any dirty things, so they will not be so straightforward."

"what?"

Yiyou felt a little unbelievable, her impression of the soldiers all came from Mu Ran.In my impression, he is dignified and upright, even if he is in the bed, he always speaks out directly.

"Why are you so surprised? The generals of Da Yue speak straight, but it doesn't mean they smashed their teeth and swallowed their blood. Leave this matter to a civil servant, and the Holy One will probably hear it from a concubine in the harem. It would be better if it was a general. , just let out a yell at the Golden Luan Hall."

Yiyou could already figure it out, the general in golden armor strode forward and angrily scolded Yin's daughter for being a snake and a scorpion.

Thinking of this, the smile on her lips deepened, and Mu Ran put his hands on her shoulders, glaring at his younger brother opposite.Don't keep looking at his little daughter-in-law with the look of liking her so much, even for a child.

Mu Yu shivered, lifted the curtain and told Duanyang: "Turn left again, we're almost there."

After making several turns and turns, the four of them finally stopped in front of the Mu family's old house.Yiyou had never been here in her previous life, and it was the first time she saw her in this life.

When she actually saw it, she was even more amazed.The ridge of the earthen house was covered with weeds, and a roof on the east side had caved in.Looking in against the light, there is a stove, which is a place for cooking.

"I have wronged you these days."

Yi You smiled happily: "I'm not that delicate person, you all know the original house of the Shen family, it's similar to this."

In this way, she walked in first, and the air-tight chaimen entered was the kang.Looking at the two boxes brought down by Duanyang outside to salute, she finally understood Mu Ran's intentions, there is no way to live in this place unless it is cleaned up properly.

"I'll do it."

Yiyou picked up the broom and got on the kang, Mu Ran walked to the door, took out a bundle of yellowed bamboo poles, flexibly folded them into a tripod and put them outside the door.Then he carried the quilt out to dry on it, the sky was beautiful and the sun was shining brightly, presumably after noon, those dirty quilts should be cleaned.

She was not idle here either, she put on her mask and began to sweep the ashes.At first it looked broken, but now she realizes that Mu Ran is worthy of being Mu Ran, he puts things in an orderly manner, and it doesn't take much effort to pack them up.In less than half an hour, the room was as bright as new.The new quilts he brought were placed beside the kang, and Mu Ran said that he would add a new layer of quilts after the old ones were laid.

Just as he crossed his legs and was about to take a rest, a slightly high-pitched voice came from outside the door.Yiyou looked out of the window, and saw a fat woman approaching.The woman she knew was the one who strongly recommended her cousin on the day of their marriage. According to the relatives Mu Yu counted together, this should be the eldest daughter-in-law of the Mu family.

"Sister-in-law."

She got up to talk, and Mu Ran was chopping firewood with Duanyang outside the door, and nodded slightly when he saw her.

"My brother's daughter-in-law is handsome, and my brother's son is really handsome. Let her do these jobs for such a daughter-in-law."

Although she was reproached, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Mu family was still very happy with a smile on her face.It seems that Mu Ran's affection for this daughter-in-law is not very deep, and her natal sister still has hope.

"The things in the house should be done temporarily."

Yiyou tugged at the blue floral coarse cotton padded jacket that needed to be soiled and soiled, and said without shame.This was what she had discussed with Mu Ran before coming here, and she would dress in a worn-out style so that she wouldn't look too obtrusive in the village.The same is true for housework, she always has to do a little so that the Mu family can't make a mistake.

"That's true. It seems that I am still a step late. How can this house be used for people? We have already cleared the room, and we are waiting for the three of you to come. Hey, who is this little brother?"

"He is Duanyang, Mu Yu's companion."

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Mu family smiled even more. Mu Ran would rather buy a companion for his younger brother who spent a lot of money, than cut a new dress for his daughter-in-law.She had heard a long time ago that this second girl of the Shen family had an empty face and a temper full of teeth and claws. How could such a woman be liked by men.

"Brother Yu has grown up too, my sister-in-law made new clothes for you, and you can wear them again during the Chinese New Year."

Mu Yu shook the clothes on his body: "Sister-in-law, brother and sister-in-law have already made new clothes for me."

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Mu family saw the gray cotton robe on Mu Yu's body. Although the color was unremarkable, she could easily recognize that it was the most expensive fine cotton cloth this year.Now she has more confidence in her heart. It seems that the new daughter-in-law is doing everything possible to please her uncle, and she is completely aware of how bad the relationship between the young couple is.

The fat woman thought she was hiding her emotions well, but in fact she had everything written on her face.Yiyou was quite helpless, as expected, it was Mu Ran who knew the Mu family best.Now let her misunderstand and let her open her mouth to say how kind she is to Mu Yu and how much she works.

A new daughter-in-law who is diligent and takes care of her husband-in-law and younger brother already has the moral high ground.With this first impression, the Mu family will not be able to say anything serious in front of her in the future.

"Look, I forgot. I came here today to invite you to live there. Although our house is not spacious, the house has been cleaned up. Everyone squeezed together, so we can have a happy reunion year."

Yiyou stood up, smiling very shyly: "My husband hasn't come back for a long time, and he doesn't usually have much time. He misses this old house very much. For the past few days, we live here, and tidy up by the way. Father and mother left this ancestral property."

Her appearance of putting her husband first made the eldest daughter-in-law of the Mu family even more certain.It seems that as long as Mu Ran is persuaded, my sister can become a ready-made official wife.

Just about to say something, Mu Ran raised his head and frowned: "It's late, and I have to worship the ancestors later, so I won't keep my sister-in-law any longer."
