The four of them came to the house, and the rooms in the courtyard were all turned around, and they were assigned rooms and gathered in the hall after returning to the room and putting their luggage, Xiao Chengren looked at the hibiscus sitting at the bottom and said, "Jin'er, what else is missing in your room?" ”

"Dad, not only do I only have one bed in my room, but my brother's room doesn't even have a bed. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info" Mu Hibiscus frowned and looked at Xiao Chengren and said solemnly.

Xiao Chengren thought for a while and said, "Let's squeeze on our bed tonight, we have a quilt there, Guixiang, you take out all the things on the bed to dry in a while, while the sun has not yet set, there is still a little residual temperature." ”

"Well, I'll go now, and the sun will really go down later." Xiao Mu looked at the red fire clouds outside, and hurriedly got up and entered the room.

"Dad, there are too many things missing at home, I'm afraid what to do if the seventy taels of silver left over from buying a house are not enough." Mu Hibiscus looked around at the surrounding environment, and the four big words "four walls of the family" suddenly appeared in his mind.

As soon as Mu Hibiscus finished speaking, he saw that Xiao's father's mood suddenly fell, he frowned tightly and pursed his mouth and lowered his head, the whole person was immersed in sadness and despair, and when he heard her shout, he raised his head, and the first thing that broke into Mu Hibiscus's eyes was the pair of godless eyes, and the black gas in his eyes was lifeless.

Mu Hibiscus was taken aback by Xiao Chengren like this, and hurriedly ran over and grabbed Xiao Chengren's shoulder and said, "Daddy, daddy, what's wrong with you, don't scare me, wake up." ”

Xiao Chengren, who came back to his senses, brushed away the hand that hibiscus placed on his shoulder, and said in a tone without waves: "I thought of your milk.... The one hundred taels of dowry in Aunt Xiao's hand, obviously..."Xiao Chengren said here and sighed deeply, and the whole person withered.

Mu Hibiscus patted his head, took out a letter from the chest of his clothes, and said to Xiao Chengren, "Dad, what do you think this is?" As he spoke, he took off the wax of the envelope and took out a silver ticket of one hundred taels from it, and explained to Xiao Chengren, "After signing the contract with Brother Lu Yao at that time, Brother Lu Yao took one hundred taels of silver tickets to me. Grandma Xiao's temperament was afraid of causing trouble, so she asked Brother Lu Yao for a fake silver ticket and put the real silver ticket in an envelope. ”

Mu Hibiscus looked at the silver ticket and breathed a sigh of relief, and said happily, "Fortunately, I thought of this situation at the time and kept a hand, otherwise it would be really bad, I forgot about it if you didn't say it just now, No, take it, I think it's better to give this silver ticket to Daddy." ”

"This ....." Xiao Chengren widened his eyes and took the silver ticket in Mu Hibiscus' hand in disbelief, Xiao Chengren held the silver ticket in his hand and looked at Mu Hibiscus in a complicated manner, when Mu Hibiscus couldn't help but bow his head, Xiao Chengren sighed and said, "I wronged the three of you before, you are so young and you have to protect your mother, you have worked hard, in the end, your father is useless." ”

"Daddy, why do you think so, in my eyes, you are the pillar of our family, Zhou Wangfeng in the Great Zhou Mountain, no one can compare to the sense of security you bring me."

"Okay, Daddy knows that you have a sweet mouth, so you don't want to comfort me." Xiao Chengren patted Hibiscus's hand with relief.

"Then let's clean up the house, and sort out what is still lacking at home, so that we can buy back what we urgently need tomorrow." Mu Hibiscus pulled up Xiao Chengren, ran to Xiao Muchen's side and ordered, "Brother, you can find a broom to clean up these cobwebs on the roof, and fill in these wormholes on the ground." ”

After Mu Hibiscus finished instructing, he turned around and changed into coarse cloth clothes from the room, came out and said to Xiao Chengren: "Daddy, I've thought about it, we can buy things like bowls that you want to eat that must be bought from the street, but if you want to brooms, baskets and other things, we can find materials on Dazhou Mountain and make them ourselves, anyway, the master has taught me how to make them." ”

"Okay, so shall we go into the mountain now? It's already so late, can't we go tomorrow? Xiao Chengren was pleased with the thrift and sensibility of hibiscus, and felt sorry for the precocious maturity of hibiscus, and began to worry about the livelihood of this family at the age when other people's children were still asking their parents for hair flowers.

"It's okay, anyway, it's so close to Dazhou Mountain, and it's okay for us to only walk around at the foot of the mountain." As she spoke, Hibiscus remembered the voice that sounded in her head when she returned to her room just now, and her heart was like a stormy wave.

Mu Hibiscus instinctively followed the guidance of the voice, avoiding the weeds in the courtyard flower beds that looked ordinary but were actually precious herbs, and also followed the guidance of the voice in his head, and went to Dazhou Mountain to find those things that could be used as household goods with simple processing.

The father and daughter came to the foot of Dazhou Mountain, and along the way, Hibiscus looked around carefully, according to the voice in his head, there was a surprise in this paragraph, but where was the surprise? All she saw was countless weeds and small dead bushes.

After walking for a while, Hibiscus suddenly found a vine in the grass, and the vine was followed by a saucer-sized fruit with two round ends and a thin middle, and Hibiscus was surprised to run over and take a look, and found that he had not recognized the wrong thing, and excitedly produced a fruit from the vine, and split the fruit in half with the woodcutter he had just brought out.

Mu Hibiscus picked up the fruit and handed it to Xiao Chengren to see, and asked, "Dad, what do you think this looks like?" ”

Xiao Chengren picked up the split fruit in half, looked at it upside down, shook his head, and replied, "I don't know what this is, what is this?" ”

"It's called a gourd, don't you think this gourd split in half looks like a water scoop? This small one can also be made into a water cup, a wine jug..... "The hibiscus searched in his mind for the use of the gourd that he had seen in the streets and alleys in his previous life, and on earth.

Xiao Chengren looked at the gourd in his hand in surprise when he heard this, and said, "I can't imagine that this little thing that is not good-looking, and even a little weird, has so many uses, so let's pick more and go back." ”

"Let's take it off first and hide it in the back basket, so as not to meet someone for a while and it will be difficult to explain." As he spoke, Hibiscus had already picked two small gourds and put them in the basket.

After picking the gourd, the two walked a distance into the mountains, successively cutting a few bamboos, a few dead shrubs with more thin branches, and a few straight small trees.

After the two returned home, Xiao Mu and Xiao Muchen had already cleaned up the house, according to the requirements of Mu Hibiscus before leaving, they did not touch the things in the yard and the furnishings in the house, cleaned the cobwebs and dust inside and outside the house, and sorted out the things that were knocked down and messed up by rats and ants, and the whole yard looked brand new, which looked much more pleasing to the eye than before the hibiscus went out.

Xiao's mother saw that Xiao Chengren's father and daughter were back, so she asked Xiao Muchen to bring out the dishes in the kitchen and prepare for dinner, and after speaking, she turned her head and said, "Where did you two go, why did you go for so long, and what are you cutting so much wood for?" As he spoke, he walked up to the two of them, fiddled with the dead bushes in Hibiscus's hand, and looked at the bamboo and small trees in Xiao Chengren's hand.

Xiao's mother helped Mu Hibiscus take the basket off her shoulder, and said, "You two are really, what are you doing with these useless things, I think this can be used to make a fire The dead branches are still a little useful, and the rest are what they are, Brother Chengren, you too, Jin'er is young and ignorant, why are you messing around with her." ”

"Mother, don't look at these inconspicuous and useless things, if you process them, you can save a lot of money for your family."

"I know you're sensible, but what can you do with these things, and can you save money for your family?"

"Mother, don't believe it, I'll make one for you after dinner, and you'll know if what I said is true, but now I'm hungry with my chest against my back, let's start eating."

In the dining room, the family gathered around a small broken wooden table, holding a bowl with a missing corner, eating rice cooked from the rice borrowed from Aqing's sister-in-law's house just now, although the conditions were more difficult than when they were in Xiao's house, but the smiles on everyone's faces were very sincere and warm.

A warm home is like a harbor, always allowing people who have been tired from a day outside to find that sense of security that makes them feel relaxed and relaxed.

After the four of them finished their dinner happily, Mu Hibiscus and Xiao's father were in the courtyard using the bright moonlight to process the wood they had just brought back, and Xiao's mother smoked a small bench and sat next to Xiao's father to watch the father and daughter process the wood.

"Sister, what are you doing here?" Xiao Muchen, who was in the fun, also moved a stool and ran over to sit next to Mu Hibiscus, and saw that Mu Hibiscus had cut down a wooden stick more than half a person high on a small tree, and tied the dead bush to the wooden stick that he had just cut down with the hemp rope he found in the warehouse, Xiao Muchen asked Mu Hibiscus curiously.

"I, I'm doing it..... You guess? Mu Hibiscus looked at Xiao Muchen, who was curious about the baby, and suddenly had a teasing mind and deliberately sold Guan Zi to Xiao Muchen.

"Guess? Guess what..... Jin'er, you ......" Xiao Muchen, who had not yet come back to his senses, muttered the name of the thing according to what Mu Hibiscus said, and just halfway through the words, he came back to his senses, and looked at his naughty sister helplessly, helplessly angry at why he was not angry with Mu Hibiscus.

"Okay, brother, I was naughty just now, but let me buy it first, and you'll know what it is when it's ready." Mu Hibiscus stuck out his tongue at Xiao Chengren, blinked his eyes and begged for mercy.

"You, just because I won't be angry with you, you will know that you are bullying me, and if I find a brother-in-law to discipline you well that day, you will know how good I am." Xiao Muchen poked Hibiscus's forehead with his fingers, pretending to grit his teeth and threaten Hibiscus.

"Brother, you won't find someone to bully me." Mu Hibiscus said as he drew a big circle with his hand and said, "I know that my brother is the best brother who loves me the most in the world." ”

Xiao Muchen smiled and didn't speak, seeing that Mu Hibiscus had not finished the whole thing, he already knew what this thing was, and sure enough, when Mu Hibiscus was ready, he stood up and swept around the ground with the thing.
