38. Enlightenment
After lunch, Mu Changsheng didn't sleep idle, and led Mu Hongyuan to dig wood under the eaves.
In the room of the little girl in the east chamber, Wang Meifeng rummaged through the malt milk essence and fruit that Concubine Mi put on the cabinet and asked, "Have you eaten it?" ”
Xiaoya tinkered with her hairstyle in front of the mirror, "Sister Mimi said, let me eat whatever I want." ”
"Malt milk essence also allows you to drink casually?"
Xiaoya nodded, "I've had a drink, it's weird and delicious." ”
Wang Meifeng sat down on the edge of the bed, "She's quite generous." ”
"Sister Mimi is good, she also taught me how to make jujube paste yam cake, Sister Mimi also said, she also knows how to make a lot of delicious cakes, and she will teach me all the ingredients when she comes back." The little girl shook her head with joy.
"Tsk, don't mess with your two yellow hairs, come over and talk to Mom about what you both said at home." Wang Meifeng followed the little girl's back.
"You're hitting me again!"
"I'm your mother, what's wrong with hitting you twice, and I didn't really hit you. Did she really say that? ”
"I can still lie to you. Mom, do you think it's delicious for me to make that cake? The little girl got her hairstyle and turned her head to get closer to Wang Meifeng and asked flatteringly,
"Is it bad to spoil me with so much white sugar?" Wang Meifeng snorted.
"Mom, don't be so shallow. Didn't my eldest sister work in the town's supply and marketing cooperative, I had an idea, Sister Mimi and I partnered to make cakes and send them to my eldest sister, and let my eldest sister help us sell them secretly, I think I will definitely make money. The little girl looked at Wang Meifeng with bright eyes, "Mom, after ordering corn, you can take me to my eldest sister's house to sit down?" ”
Wang Meifeng raised her hand and wanted to slap again, but the little girl tilted her head to dodge, "Mom! ”
"Yes, let your grandfather know if he will kill you. You are digging a corner of socialism, and you are denounced, even if your second uncle comes back, he can't protect you. ”
Xiaoya was a little angry, "Can't you sell it secretly?" What a money-making opportunity. Last time I went to the supply and marketing cooperatives to find my eldest sister, I fell in love with the really good bell skirt in her store, and you didn't buy it for me, can't I buy it with my own money, Mom, I'll just earn the money for a skirt and stop doing it, can you help me hide it from my grandfather? ”
Who is afraid of burning money.
Wang Meifeng pondered for a while, "To tell the truth, what cake you make this jujube paste is fresher and more delicious than chicken cake, our family likes to eat it, and people outside must also like it." ”
Xiaoya nodded violently, "I said that I will definitely be able to make money." ”
"But it still doesn't work, I'll talk about it when I'm free."
Xiaoya snorted unhappily, "I'll go back to my eldest brother and ask, and my eldest brother will definitely agree with me if he's well-informed." ”
Wang Meifeng snorted lightly, "What's the use, it's not like you're coming back to squeeze a yard with us, the house at home is not big enough to live in, he is going to get married now and occupies the West Wing, what should your brother do when he gets married." ”
"That was originally the second uncle's family, and the eldest brother didn't occupy our family's place, besides, since the eldest brother came back, I have eaten chicken cakes, and I have eaten meat every now and then, and the eldest brother has come back and earned a lot of work for the family, Mom, you are so careful that my grandfather will kill you." Xiaoya returned Wang Meifeng's original words to her.
"Hey, dead girl, turn your elbow out, I'm not tired for you."
The little girl glanced at Wang Meifeng disdainfully, "You are for my brother, I know that I am worthless in your eyes when I was a child, I am a money-loser, and you still say that you will not give me a dowry, and if someone wants me to give it to others, I will remember it." I don't rely on you, I rely on myself to earn money to save a dowry, huh! ”
Wang Meifeng gasped and raised her hand to fight, "Dead girl, you still have a grudge against your mother." ”
"Grandpa, my mom beat me again!" The little girl shouted at the window.
"What are you doing beating the child again, eat the sugar, buy it again, and the little girl will come out to give grandpa a hand."
"Hey, here we are." The little girl agreed loudly, and ran out of the angry Wang Meifeng.
"Dead girl." Wang Meifeng scolded angrily.
In the west chamber, Concubine Mi sat on the kang, her legs hanging down and shaking gently, she looked up at Mu Hongyi, "What are you looking for me to do, you have eaten all the sweetness, you are not allowed to be a hooligan." ”
Mu Hongyi stood on the ground with his arms folded on his chest, looked at Concubine Mi's watery eyes and said coldly: "Xiaoya said that you are crying, if you don't want to marry me, just say it, don't make it look like I forced you, Xu Cheng hasn't left yet, you go back to him." ”
Concubine Mi pursed her lips and squinted at Mu Hongyi, "You don't force me, you force me, force me to submit to you, you are even more hateful." ”
Mu Hongyi's eyes deepened, leaned forward, Concubine Mi subconsciously propped her arms and fell back, raising her foot to kick him, "I'm not married yet, I'll call grandpa if you play a hooligan." ”
"Remember, you can't leave if you marry me, you have to dare to leave, see if I will break your legs."
Concubine Mi was not frightened, she was born in the Forbidden City, grew up in the hands of the emperor and queen of a country, she was bold, and she kicked Mu Hongyi in the face and opened her mouth and shouted, "Grandpa help, Mu Hongyi is going to break my leg." ”
"Stinky boy, you come out for me."
Mu Hongyi was stunned, pinched Concubine Mi's ankle with one hand and took it away from her face, gritted his teeth and nodded at Concubine Mi in the void, with some teeth, "It's long-lasting." ”
Concubine Mi smirked and kicked her legs, "If you don't let go, I'll shout." ”
"Mu Hongyi, you are capable, I don't listen to my words."
"Grandpa is a good person who is honest and simple, a hundred times stronger than you."
Mu Hongyi could only let Concubine Mi go out, under the eaves, the sun shone in half, Hongyuan's hot forehead was sweating, and when he saw Mu Hongyi come out, he laughed at him, the little girl was straightforward, "Big brother, you are not allowed to bully my Sister Mimi, I and my Sister Mimi are the same head." ”
"Little girl, you were bought for a meal of jujube paste and yam cake?"
"That's, haha." Xiaoya smiled while fanning Mu Changsheng.
Mu Changsheng blew off the debris on the wooden board, glanced at Mu Hongyi and reprimanded, "What are you talking like in the closed house in broad daylight, that girl is very polite and filial, and she is not allowed to bully other people's parents when she is not around, what is the monkey anxious about, if you don't register, you are not allowed to come nonsense, do you hear?" ”
Just one morning, a meal of jujube paste and yam cake, the woman bought his grandfather and sister-in-law?
Mu Hongyuan, who was planing wood, smiled vigorously, his smile was dazzling, Mu Hongyi drove Mu Hongyuan away, and started planing by himself, "I heard grandpa." Grandpa, what are you going to do with wood? ”
"Now that I marry a daughter-in-law, everyone is going to turn three times and one ring, and my daughter doesn't want anything from you, so we can't lose people, I'll make her two cabinets, tables and chairs."
Concubine Mi ran over and handed Mu Changsheng tools with a smile, "Grandpa, are the carvings on the windows and doors in our courtyard carved by you, I looked at the pattern of the crane longevity on the door of the hall, the west chamber is the unicorn sending the son, and the east chamber is rising step by step, grandpa, am I right?" ”
Mu Changsheng glanced at Concubine Mi in surprise, his eyelids twitched and he smiled, "Few people recognize these auspicious patterns, I carved them, look rough, that's good, don't be eye-catching." ”
"At first glance, it looks rough, but I can see that grandpa is a master craftsman, and the royal family has to ask you to carve the door of the Jinluan Treasure Palace."
Wang Meifeng, who was leaning on the door frame and eating melon seeds, laughed, "Hongyi daughter-in-law, you are really good at slapping on the back, look at your grandfather's mouth." ”
Mu Changsheng smiled and glared at Wang Meifeng coldly.
"Auntie, you said that grandpa is a horse." Concubine Mi smiled and made up for it.
"That's not it, Dad, I didn't mean that, I just praised Hongyi's daughter-in-law with a sweet mouth."
No one answered Wang Meifeng's words, so Wang Meifeng went back to the house to take a nap.
"Grandpa, can you carve these patterns for me, I like it?" Concubine Mi looked at Mu Changsheng with blank eyes.
Mu Changsheng has a lot of granddaughters, but he is not afraid of him who is so soft and sweet-mouthed, but he is not afraid of him, an old hard heart is a little touched, and he was just about to nod and shake his head, "Don't be dazzling, go back and make a gadget for you, and carve exquisite patterns for you to hide and play." ”
"Thank you, grandpa!" Concubine Mi was overjoyed, and asked again, "Grandpa, will you make that kind of hollow incense ball, I want that." ”
"Grandpa, grandpa, can I do it too?" Xiaoya followed in the fun.
"Let's be free." Mu Changsheng said with a solemn face.
Mu Hongyi shook his head, "Don't make trouble here, hurry up and go to sleep in the house, you have to go to work in the afternoon, Mimi, you can go too." ”
Concubine Mi let out a long sigh, "Let's go." ”
Xiaoya pulled Concubine Mi back to the house, "Sister Mimi, don't be afraid, I'll help you, let's just do it for a while, and then come back and cook, there is still a chicken at home, let's make the chicken breast you said." ”
The muttering gradually faded away, leaving only the sound of Mu Hongyi cutting wood in the courtyard.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the members began to work again, with men and women collaborating.
Mu Hongyi asked for Concubine Mi and gave her a pair of leather gloves, "Put them on, put two or three in a pit, if you dare to grind foreign workers, you won't be allowed to eat dinner tonight." ”
Concubine Mi snorted at him, put on her gloves, lifted the bucket, counted three medicated corn kernels and bent them down and put them in the pit, "That's it." ”
"Bury the pit with your feet."
Concubine Mi looked at her fairly clean cloth shoes and cried with a sad face, but she didn't say anything, and buried her feet in the pit.
Seeing that the white instep was stained with black soil, Mu Hongyi's eyes stopped there and paused to talk to her, "You are really capable, coaxing my grandfather to like you so much." ”
Concubine Mi became proud, forgetting the situation for the time being, "I want to coax people, one by one." ”
Mu Hongyi's tone was a little mocking, "Yes, if you want to coax someone, even if he dies, he won't be able to escape the sweet words you weave out of lies." ”
"Why are you weird, you're sick again, aren't you?"
The two adjacent ones are the combination of Xu Cheng and Qiu Shuyuan, the gap was not too big at first, Qiu Shuyuan raised her head and squeezed Concubine Mi, "Mimi, you are willing to work hard with our branch secretary, and you will make trouble with me, and you can't get along with me, right, it seems that only our Mu Da branch secretary can control you." ”
"I'm sore in my back, so I won't waste my tongue with you." Concubine Mi didn't bother to take care of her.
"You're squeamish, and you're sore at the beginning, you, that is, rely on a man's life, don't want to be independent in this life, Mimi, I'll tell you, it's not obvious now, look at it in the future, a woman like you will be eliminated by society sooner or later, an independent and self-reliant woman is a woman in the new era."
