A beautiful little life in a farmhouse

Chapter 29 Promising Love: Pepper Rabbit and Mushroom Soup
After Mu Wanniang had played with Shitou Sanwa for a while, she started to pack the mushrooms she picked earlier, preparing to make a sliced ​​mushroom soup for lunch.

When she carefully prepared the mushrooms one by one, Xue Mu brought a prepared rabbit over outside the door.

Mu Wanniang wanted to give him money, but Xue Mu didn't agree.

He lowered his eyes to look at the two puppies who were small but extremely fierce towards him. Although he didn't know what breed they were, he was very satisfied with the fact that he could take a good look at them.

Since he didn't want money, Mu Wanniang let him eat, "It's not that you don't know if the mushrooms can be eaten, or you can stay and eat together at noon today, you just have a taste of my cooking."

Not wanting Xue Mu to shake his head, "You're a girl, it's not good for me to stay."

Well then, Mu Wanniang took a step back and continued: "Then you wait first, I'll get you two bowls to take home with you when it's ready, but it should be cold when you take it home, and you can warm it up by then. it is good."

She didn't know exactly where on the mountain he lived, and she didn't know how long it would take to come and go, but it didn't hurt to ask more.

Xue Mu thought for a while, and thought that this method would work, but he didn't enter the house, and opened the door of the courtyard, sitting on the balcony of the courtyard with his legs and hips, facing the wide open door.

Mu Wanniang originally wanted to say that the weather was still cold enough, and wanted him to go into the room and sit on the burnt kang, since the two children were there anyway, but she was afraid that she would be offended by his appearance. With a bad reputation, she smiled and didn't say anything, but she was very personable.

It just so happened that Fang Er, who had picked up a cart of firewood, came to the door at this time, and planned to use this time to talk to Mu Wanniang about getting married, but he didn't want to see the tall man sitting there looking at him darkly as soon as he entered the door.

Xue Mu was originally tall and tall, and his temper was honed in the army for several years, so he let it out directly to outsiders, and Fang Er was still holding a sickle in his hand when he entered the door, so he was staring at him naturally. Instead, Fang Erhao was taken aback.

The two looked at each other and didn't speak to each other. Fang Er shook his hands and didn't dare to come in. The dogs in the yard were staring at him.

He raised his head and shouted, "Mu Jia Wanniang, I've brought you firewood!"

Mu Wanniang, who was frying rabbits in the kitchen, heard that she couldn't take her hand away, so she poked her head out and pointed to the small room reserved for firewood, "Brother Fang, please bring the firewood to me." I went to that house, and there is still a fire burning here, so I can’t do without my hands.”

Mu Wanniang retracted her head again and fried it a few times, added a few seasonings, then poked her head out again, barking Xiao Hei Xiao Bai, and the two dogs moved away immediately.

Seeing that Xue Mu was sitting there with nothing to do, Mu Wanniang had no idea that he was a guest, so she asked him to open the door of the firewood room for Fang Er, and immediately signaled him with her eyes to pack more vegetables for him to go back. make up.

Xue Mu and Mu Wanniang directly understood the meaning of this look, but in Fang Er's eyes, it was a look of affection between the two, and this man was already so familiar with helping him unload firewood like a master in this house.

He felt as if he was stuck in his heart, why did the person he finally fell in love with become someone else's so quickly?

However, Fang Er just wanted to find a suitable one when talking about marriage, and he didn't have much affection for Wanniang of the Mu family so far, so he didn't feel too hurt, but he still asked: "Have you already agreed to kiss?"

Xue Mu knew that he had misunderstood, and shook his head, "Not yet."

That means it's already settled.

Fang Er, who thought he understood, sighed, "Forget it, I originally wanted to talk to her about getting married, but fortunately I didn't tell my ancestor, otherwise she must be disappointed."

"Okay, these firewood should be enough for her to survive this cold winter." Fang kept the rope tied with the firewood in his second hand, and he did not forget to tell the big man, "Looking at your age, you should be a few years older than me. You look pretty good, why don't you go pick up firewood yourself?"

But this was their business, so he didn't think about asking any further questions, so he waved his hand and went to the kitchen to ask Mu Wanniang for wages.

Mu Wanniang's rabbit was still in the pot, and when she saw him coming, she gave him the wages she had prepared earlier, and asked him if he wanted to stay and eat together.

"No need!" Fang Er now has to go back to clean up his injured thoughts, "You eat slowly, I will go back first, the ancestor is still waiting for me to go back and feed the chickens."

Fang Er came and went quickly, Xue Mu, who had been listening to him, couldn't interrupt, he felt that he must have misunderstood, but he didn't know why he didn't explain in time.

Regarding this, Xue Mu attributed it to the fact that Fang Er didn't give him a chance to speak, so he can't be blamed for this.

But after that, people can't continue to misunderstand, so as not to delay the girl's reputation.

Fang Er pushed the cart crookedly back to his small courtyard, and Yao Wangcai closed the door behind him.

"Did you go to deliver firewood to Mu Wanniang today?"

Speaking of this, Fang Er had a lot of things to say to him, "Yeah, I planned to talk to her about that... matter today," because the ancestor was in the room, Fang Er was afraid of being overheard by her. When I arrived, I quickly changed my words, "But I have completely given up the idea, and I really don't fit her very well."

Fang Er said this in a low voice, but Yao Wangcai frowned, "Why do you suddenly feel inappropriate again?"

"Didn't you say that before?" Fang Er felt that he was strange, but he didn't think too much about it, so he told him about the man he saw when he was delivering firewood.

"However, although the man looked quite tall, I was shocked when I saw such a long scar on his face."

Fang Er shook his head, "I don't know what Wanniang of the Mu family is interested in him."

In his opinion, this Mujia Wanniang looks so juicy, and the person who will marry must also be good-looking to be worthy of her.

"What nonsense are you talking about?!"

Yao Wangcai frowned fiercely, Fang Er turned his head to look at him, and knew that he must think he was talking nonsense, so he quickly explained: "I don't dare to talk nonsense, isn't this the innocence of a bad girl! I said so too I asked that man, but he didn't deny it!"

Fang Er actually wanted to say that you are so interested in what to do, maybe you still have a crush on her.

But Fang Er didn't dare to say it. If he really said that, wouldn't the two of them have to fight?
Yao Wangcai clenched his fist tightly, "I'm going to collect firewood."

Fang Er asked him loudly from behind: "Aren't you going to see my ancestor? She has been thinking about you!"

Yao Wangcai didn't hear it, he was rushing to go to Mu Wan's mother's house, when he could see the house, his feet slowed down instead.

Why should he care? !What qualifications does he have? !

At this time, Mu Wanniang sent Xue Mu out with two bowls, and she waved at him, "You don't have to return the bowls, if you still want to eat, bring me a pheasant next time, and you will have to pay for it next time." Already!"

Xue Mu watched her hesitate to speak, but finally said nothing, and turned back to the mountain.
