A beautiful little life in a farmhouse

Chapter 24 Tun Chai: Pea Offal Powder Three Fresh Soup and Koufu Chicken

Hearing from Zhang Yuangui that the Orion went to the county town to sell prey early every day, Mu Wanniang also woke up half an hour earlier in the next few days, but she still couldn't see the Orion after being stuck for a few days. She had some doubts about the Orion. Did you take another path down the mountain?

But there is only this road at the end of the village for going up and down the mountain, so there is no reason why it cannot be met.

Maybe it's stockpiling.

Mu Wanniang thought so, and still got up early every day.

Until the day of the cold dew, the weather was already a bit cold. Mu Wanniang woke up early and added a quilt to the two sleeping babies, and went to fetch firewood to heat the kang.

Seeing that the sky was completely dark outside, Mu Wanniang asked Xiaoheixiaobai to take care of the house, and she carried the basket to continue to guard the people at the foot of the mountain.

As soon as she locked the door, she saw a small figure stumbling over from the side.

When she got closer, she found that it was Si Ni from the Muma family.

Seeing the thin layer of clothes she was wearing, and the backpack she was carrying that was taller than her, Mu Wanniang couldn't help asking, "Si Ni, what are you doing out so early?"

Seeing her, Si Ni hung her head and called out timidly, "Sister Cong".

This Sini is ten years old, but she looks only seven or eight years old.

Mu Wanniang couldn't bear it, she frowned and asked her: "Your mother asked you to come out so early to hunt pigweed alone?"

Sini is a person who is afraid of people, Mu Wanniang walked beside her, she shrank too.

Seeing this, Mu Wanniang moved a little further away from her, and gave her a piece of cake that she had baked casually just now, and asked her to take it, "Eat it quickly now, if you let your mother know, you will definitely have trouble with me again. "

She doesn't think she is a kind person, but within the scope of her help, she can still reach out.

Sini said thank you in a voice like a mosquito, and Mu Wanniang took a different path from her, so she didn't say anything, and turned directly to the foot of the mountain.

Si Ni, who stayed behind and walked slowly step by step, watched her walking away, squatted down and devoured the pancake.

The temperature left by the pancake penetrated into her heart and slowly warmed up.

Mu Wanniang wandered around the foot of the mountain for a long time today, thinking that Shitou and Sanwa at home were about to wake up, so she went back with some reluctance. She was still thinking about when the Orion would go down the mountain. If you miss it, you don't know when it will be next time.

For breakfast, Mu Wanniang made pea offal powder to eat, and in the afternoon and evening, she made a dish of Koufu chicken and three fresh soup.

It is now October, and the weather is slowly turning cold, because Shitou and Sanwa are still young and cannot stand the cold, so there must be a lot of firewood used in this cold winter, and Mu Wanniang must not be able to pick up so much firewood by herself, so It is best to find someone to collect firewood with wages.

At noon, Aunt Wang came over and carried the stone to accompany her, so Mu Wanniang took Sanwa to the village at this time to see if she could find a firewood collector.

When Aunt Wang carried the stone over, she mentioned something to her.

"Before you mentioned to me that Yao Wangcai was the one who rescued the stone from the river that day. I heard that something happened there again yesterday."

"What's wrong?" Mu Wanniang was a little curious about the stone's savior.

Aunt Wang sighed, and she also looked down on Mrs. Yao in her tone, "That Wangcai did some small work outside to earn money to prepare for the winter, and his mother took all the money to buy fabrics to make clothes. It seems that he has spent the winter this year Gotta freeze."

She thought that if she had time, she would call the child and give him one or two of her man's worn-out padded jackets.

Mu Wanniang didn't say anything after hearing this, but she didn't have a good impression of Mrs. Yao, whom she had never met.

I thought it was a rumor at first, but there are traces to follow.

She didn't think too much about it, and went out with her third baby in her arms.

Sanwa can speak a few words recently, except for 'sister', 'eat' is the most talked about.

"Sister!" Sanwa hugged her face with both hands, and yelled "Ahhhh" a few times.

Mu Wanniang walked to the foot of the mountain where she used to occasionally go to collect firewood, and unexpectedly ran into Yao Wangcai here.

She felt that she still had to say hello, but Yao Wangcai turned his eyes away when she looked over, as if he didn't see her.

Mu Wanniang: "..."

"That," Mu Wanniang thought of what Aunt Wang said before, and she happened to be looking for someone to collect firewood for herself, "This winter is coming soon, and there are only two children in my family, and I don't have that much time. Come out to find firewood, if you want, can you collect firewood for me, and the wages will be normal."

There are also many people in this village who collect firewood, so the prices are almost set.

Yao Wangcai refused directly without thinking, "I don't collect firewood, you can find someone else."

"Oh, good." For the first time, Mu Wanniang didn't know how to deal with people, she pulled out her hand and shook the three babies, so as not to make herself look so embarrassed.

Not far away, someone heard the two talking, and quickly recommended himself, "Sister Wanniang, if you want to find someone to collect firewood, I can."

Mu Wanniang turned her head and saw that it was Fang Er, she nodded quickly, "Thank you then, you take the time to come to my place today and let's talk about the price."

Fang Er happily agreed, "Okay then, I'll find you after I fix this place."

After finding someone to collect the firewood, Mu Wanniang hurried back with Sanwa in her arms, so as not to make people feel uncomfortable staying here.

For some reason, she felt that Yao Wangcai didn't like her very much.

When the people were far away, Fang Er leaned over and asked Yao Wangcai, "Didn't you always collect firewood for the villagers to get wages, why didn't you take it this time?"

Fang Er didn't have any embarrassment, and he only asked for this after he refused.

"Do you think it's too little money?" Fang Er said to him while picking up firewood, "But I plan to go to the county town to learn carpentry after the next year. If there is a way to make money by then, I will be the first." I'm here to find you, okay?"

Yao Wangcai nodded, and Fang Er felt relieved.

After a while, he thought again: "You said that Mu Wanniang is not bad-looking, and she is quite handsome. Who is in charge of her marriage? The Mu family has already separated and broken ties, so there must be no decision over there. , I will go back and ask my ancestor to see if she has any ideas."

He and his elder ancestor were the only ones in Fang Er's family. The relatives left by the two left a lot of money, and the family was not short of money to save money. He must have the money to marry a wife.

The two of them walked down with a basket full of firewood on their backs. Yao Wangcai, who had been silent all this while listening to him, suddenly said, "She's not suitable for you, so don't miss her."

Fang [-]: "???"

He caught up and asked, "Why am I not suitable for her? The horoscope has not been written yet, so how will you know if you don't try it."

"She has no such intentions for the time being." After speaking, Yao Wangcai quickened his pace and left Fang Er behind. Fang Er looked at his fleeing back and didn't feel at ease.

"How do you know she's not in the mood? When the time comes, the two of us will make an appointment and invite us to dinner!"

But even though he said so, this matter has to be discussed in the long run, he can't ruin the reputation of the girl, and he will talk about it in front of Mu Wanniang when the time comes.
