A beautiful little life in a farmhouse

Chapter 25 Meeting the Benefactor
Fang Er came after lunch, and Aunt Wang happened to be there too. Seeing him coming, she asked, "Why are you here?"

"Auntie, I'll collect firewood for Sister Wanniang."

Aunt Wang looked up at him for a day, and saw that he was smiling heartlessly, and smiled, "You two are not the same age, why do you call her sister? But you are in front, so it's okay to call her sister."

Fang Er scratched his head and smiled.

Mu Wanniang was busy tidying up the stove now, so she said directly, "Second brother Fang, how about a bundle of firewood and a penny?"

"Okay," Fang Er's family has a cart, so he will pick up more firewood and bring a lot of money, but he wanted to tell her about his intention of marrying her, but seeing that she was so busy, he decided to go ahead. Forget it, let's talk about it next time when the firewood is delivered.

Aunt Wang watched the door close, and said to Mu Wanniang, "I didn't realize that you are short of firewood, but if you had told me earlier, I would have asked Wangcai to help you get it together."

"Auntie, do you mean that Wangcai is collecting firewood for you?"

"Yes, many people in this village are looking for him. This kid is quite honest, and the firewood he looks for is also good."

Now Mu Wanniang really felt that something was wrong, Yao Wangcai wouldn't really dislike her, right?
Where did she offend him?

But forget it, anyway, if he doesn't want to, he won't, and the two of them should not have much communication after that, and the stone's life-saving grace will wait for the stone to return it.

A few days later, Mu Wanniang was sitting and playing with Shitou and Sanwa on the burnt kang bed. The weather has been getting colder and colder recently, but it's not November yet and she has to wear several clothes.

Mu Wanniang is going to get some sweet potato vermicelli for preparation, and she can also get some potato flour today and cook hot and sour potato flour when she comes out.

In the corner of the much-enlarged kitchen were several jars of pickled vegetables that she had bought before, and there was no shortage of food in this cold winter.

As for Mrs. Du, because Du Erlang had to start preparing for business after the beginning of spring, the two of them were too busy every day. Du Chunhua was free and came here every day when she had nothing to do. She also loved it. Sitting on the kang is especially warm.

"Chunhua, I'll go out for a while, you help me look after Shitou and Sanwa at home."

"Okay, Miss Wanniang, you can go, I'll help you watch."

Mu Wanniang was going to buy a few eggs and came back. When the family ran out of eggs, she also planned to order a pig from Zhang Yuangui's place. When the winter came, it would be frozen in the yard, so that she would not have to worry about eating meat this winter.

The heavy snow in this cold winter may directly spread a thick layer on the ground, almost like a freezer.

When she passed by, Zhang Shunzi was standing in front of the door eating candied haws, sniffing his nose, and when he saw her coming, he called Sister Shitou.

"Shunzi, it's cold outside, why didn't you come in?"

Zhang Shunzi shook his head, "It's too hot inside, but it's cool outside."

Mu Wanniang thought it was funny, and patted him on the shoulder, "Let's go, go into the house with my aunt, it's too cold to blow outside, and I'll have a fever in a while, the medicine is not good."

Zhang Shunzi followed her into the house. Zhang Yuangui saw her and cursed, "Why did you run out again?! I don't know how to wear more."

Seeing Mu Wanniang, "Wanniang is here, what do you want today?"

Mu Wanniang was about to ask him to help her kill a chicken first, when he suddenly said: "Didn't you look for the hunter who saved Sanwa, today the one on the mountain I told you came here to watch pigs Here it is, do you want to go and see if it's that person?"

Such a coincidence?
Mu Wanniang didn't show it, and when she asked Zhang Yuangui to take her to the pig shed, she said to him: "Uncle Zhang, you also kill a pig for me, and when winter comes, I will stock up on the meat."

"Okay, I still have a few fat ones left. You don't have many people in the house, so you can just take a medium-sized one."

This piece of Yuangui's backyard is unusually large. On the left is the duck house, in the middle is the chicken house, and on the right is the pig shed.

As soon as Mu Wanniang passed by, she saw a tall figure with long hands and legs under a cloth, but when he looked back, the scarred half of his face was not so ugly in Mu Wanniang's eyes. On the contrary, it has a little more flavor.

Mu Wanniang, who was bewildered by her beauty, swallowed her saliva.

Zhang Yuangui who was standing by the side thought she was frightened, so he patted her on the shoulder and said, "Don't look at this boy Xue, he has a bad face, but he is a formidable person, and all the game in this mountain is caught by him." Over and over."

His surname is Xue?
Mu Wanniang went over to say hello, "Do you still remember my mother? Last time you saved my younger brother in the county town, and I didn't have time to thank you." Now that she met her this time, she must not let go of the opportunity.

The man only nodded to her, turned his face to avoid the scar, and said coldly: "No, it's just a matter of convenience."

"It's not easy for my family." Mu Wanniang felt that it would definitely not work to repay this favor directly with money, and she had to think about how to repay it.

The man didn't say much to her, he directly pointed to a pig in the pig shed, and ordered it to Zhang Yuangui, "I want that one."

"Hey!" Zhang Yuangui opened the pig shed and went in to catch the pig. Mu Wanniang looked at the biggest pig inside and said, "This pig will be part of my thank you."

Seeing what he was going to say, she looked straight at him and said, "If you don't let me pay back some favors this time, then I will have to disturb you when the time comes."

Now that she knew that he lived on the mountain, she could directly return the gift.

After the words fell, the man obviously paused, and didn't say anything more, Mu Wanniang understood that he was doing this to avoid trouble in the future, and now she acquiesced.

Zhang Yuangui was carrying the pig to kill, and Mu Wanniang followed behind the man. When he looked over, she poked her head and said to Zhang Yuangui, who was slaughtering the pig in front, "Uncle Zhang, I like the youngest one. You Remember to kill me and send me there when the time comes."

"Okay!" Zhang Yuangui went down and cut the pig's neck. Mu Wanniang hurried back to avoid looking at it. Before she was about to leave, she realized that she didn't know the name of this person, so she went back and asked him, "May I ask what the benefactor's name is?" Name who?"

The man looked down at him, feeling a little struggling, "Xue Mu."

Mu Wanniang smiled and said, "My surname is Mu, and my name is Wanniang. From now on, my benefactor can just call me Mu Wanniang."

After exchanging names, Mu Wanniang hurried back with the chicken. As for Xue Mu's pig's money, Zhang Yuangui also heard the conversation between the two of them, and received her look to indicate that he would just take the money together.

Zhang Yuangui was only in charge of killing pigs, and did not divide the meat. After he was tied up, he turned around and asked him, "Boy Xue, do you think this is okay? Is it hard to resist?"

Xue Mu walked over to take a look, and then said, "Okay." He said that he was about to pay.

Zhang Yuangui waved his hand directly, "Sister Wanniang has already agreed with me. If you don't accept your money, don't be stubborn. You saved the three babies last time. Sister Wanniang thanked you. There is nothing wrong with it. This is regarded as a thank you gift, as a settlement, that Wanniang sister is also poor, otherwise she will always keep this matter in mind."

He also told about the fact that Mu Wanniang went to the foot of the mountain one after another in the past few days to see him, "So you listen to my uncle and accept the money as a favor. Don't feel ashamed. Wanniang's money is still worth it. Affordable."

Although the village said that the house was built with money borrowed from Wang Dafu's family, but in his eyes, Sanwa and Shitou, who ate fat and fat every day, couldn't keep the money. It came because I was afraid that the Mu family would come and make trouble, so it spread like this.
