Chapter 14: Greed

Originally, there were three people walking side by side, but Mu Lan quietly lagged behind by a step or two.

The sun was setting in the west, and the shadows of Mu Cheng and Xiao Wu were just under their feet, stepping on and stepping.

Mu Cheng also wondered why Mu Lan suddenly ran to the back, and thought she was tired, but when she looked back, well, Mu Lan was stepping on the shadow with great interest! Xiao Wu also saw it.

"Yikes! How can you step on my shadow! No, I'm going to step on you too! ”

It's strange that Mu Lan will let her step on it! Giggling and running to the front, Xiao Wu chased after her and chirped, Mu Cheng was worried that they would run and fall, so he followed behind and shouted: "You guys run slowly, what's the hurry!" Xiao Wu, you are bigger than Lan Lan, let Lan Lan dots! ”

"She's your sister, but I'm also your friend! She's younger than me, but she's running so fast, Ah Cheng, you're too eccentric! ”

The accompanied road was quickly over, and when they arrived at the door of Xiao Wu's house, the sixth grandmother happened to be at the door, and saw the Mu Cheng and Mu Lan sisters beckoning them to eat melons, but Mu Cheng was in a hurry to go back to prepare dinner and refused.

The sixth grandmother was not reluctant, but just took out a melon and stuffed it into Mu Lan's hand, "Take it, tell your grandma, this melon was given by the sixth grandmother, this year's sixth grandmother has a bumper harvest of melons in the field, you take it back and taste it with your grandma!" ”

The sixth grandmother looked like she wouldn't give up if you didn't take it, so the two of them had to accept it.

Mu Lan put the melon in the basket of Mu Orange, because he was afraid of crushing the eggs that he had managed to get. And Mu Cheng only thought that she was afraid of weight, and didn't say anything. The two went back talking and laughing.

As soon as she returned to Mu's house, she met Qian Shi before she entered the East Courtyard, she had just come back from outside, and she was still carrying a piece of meat of three or four catties in her hand, and it seemed that she was ready to improve her food. When I saw the fresh mountain goods in their baskets, I immediately smiled.

"Yo, the little sisters went to pick up mountain goods today! Coincidentally, in the past two days, Xinxin is saying that she wants to eat this! Pour me some later! ”

Qian unceremoniously commanded Mu Cheng, paused, and found the melon in the Mu Orange basket with sharp eyes, "Where did this melon come from?" Oh, your aunt and grandmother said to buy it, this melon looks sweet, you"

Before Qian finished speaking, Mu Lan was unhappy, there are many mushrooms anyway, it doesn't matter if you give some, but this melon is a favor given by others, this is to be returned, you are good, what do you want, or from your niece, this thick-skinned, how many layers of paste have been brushed.

"Third aunt, this melon is given by the sixth grandmother to the eldest aunt and my aunt, just one, Xiao Wu said that their family kept this melon and sold it in the town, but it has to be sold for six copper coins! Aunt San, so my sister and I can't be the master of this melon, or you wait for a while, and come and eat with us when the aunt and grandma come back! Mu Lan said that it is strange that you can take advantage of the eldest aunt and grandma when they come back, even if Xiao Zhao comes over, the eldest aunt and grandma can also let her return empty-handed.

Besides, just because this melon was given by the sixth grandmother, it is impossible for the Xiao Zhao family to swallow it, the war between the two has started before the death of the big Zhao family, and now it is getting more and more intense, plus the son of the Xiao Zhao family is completely inferior to the two sons of the sixth grandmother's family, and the waist pole of the sixth grandmother is straight all her life.

As soon as Mu Cheng heard Mu Lan say this, he was even more reluctant to share the fruits of his hard work with the Qian family, in addition to taking the name of an aunt, where did the Qian family look like an aunt?

"Little aunt, don't I remember that there are still a lot of mountain goods in the kitchen that Sister Ah Cheng and I used to make? Gone? That's a lot! Auntie, do you eat every day? ”

Just because the third uncle and her daughters love to eat these, the achievements of Mu Lan and Mu Cheng were all returned to the public middle school by Xiao Zhao's family, and there are at least five or six catties of dried in the kitchen! How is it possible to eat it so quickly!?

So it's obvious that Qian is taking advantage.

It's all eaten separately.,Except that it's not clear that it's basically all separated.,It's really annoying to always want to take advantage of others;

Mu Cheng's heart turned, "Little aunt, you can't finish eating so much meat today!" Lan Lan and I haven't eaten meat for a long time, or Lan Lan and I will take the mushrooms to help you cook meat, so Lan Lan and I will also eat in the old yard today! ”

Hearing Mu Cheng say this, Mu Lan silently nodded like, it is not a loss to exchange shiitake mushrooms and labor for meat.

However, it is impossible for this Qian family to agree, this Qian family and Xiao Zhao are the same, they are only willing to take advantage of others and are willing to take advantage of others, but she has not yet cultivated the Xiao Zhao family, so she is in a hurry now, there are still many mountain goods in the kitchen, she is just trying to be fresh, why let these two nasty ghosts share their own meat! However, Qian is also quick.

"How can little auntie let you come over! Your grandfather said let us eat separately, if this breaks the rules, your grandfather will be angry! You see, I haven't cooked for a long time, and I don't know that there are dried shiitake mushrooms in the kitchen, so I'm in a hurry to go back to cooking, so you should go back quickly! After saying this, the Qian clan hurriedly left without waiting for Mu Lan and them to speak, as if there was some flood beast chasing after them.

Seeing the Qian family who left in a hurry, Mu Lan quietly gestured a V to Mu Cheng and drove away the villain. Seeing Mu Lan's quirky appearance, Mu Cheng also smiled.

Opening the door, Mu Cheng first brought the dried chili peppers from the yard to the kitchen, and Mu Lan went to the room with his basket by changing his shoes.

After closing the door, Mu Lan took out some scattered cloth heads and put them in his sewing frame, and then carefully took out the shiitake mushrooms spread on it.

Seeing that it was the three-color wild egg that was intact, Mu Lan let out a sigh of relief, gently took out the egg and put it in the sewing frame, and after making sure that it was placed, he took a clean smock and covered the frame seemingly casually and tightly, and put the frame on his bed, and quickly put the mushrooms he took out into the basket, and hurriedly changed into softer cloth shoes and walked out of the door and into the kitchen.

Mu Cheng was cleaning the mushrooms in the wooden basin, and when he saw Mu Lan coming, he moved a seat next to him and motioned for Mu Lan to come over to help, Mu Lan poured the contents of his basket into it, and the two began to work silently. It took about half an hour for the two of them to clean everything, and looking at the pile of clean shiitake mushrooms in another wooden basin, the two looked at each other and smiled.

"Lanlan, you go and get the needle and thread, let's hurry up and dry these while the sky is still bright.

This method of drying mountain goods with a thread came up with Liu's family, and the thread is worn and dried in the yard, as long as there are two bamboo poles, it is enough to occupy no land at all and dry quickly, and it looks like a screen made of mushrooms from a distance.

By the time this was done, it was no longer too early, and the two of them began to prepare dinner. White rice porridge with stir-fried greens with shiitake mushrooms, cold cucumber and scrambled eggs with tomatoes. When the last dish was almost finished, Liu and Shen entered the door with a full amount of cotton.

Looking at the more cotton than before, Mu Lan was surprised: "Grandma, why did you get so much today!" It's like a hill! ”

"That's right! Didn't you say it wouldn't rain for the next two days? Don't work so hard, your body will be exhausted! Mu Cheng said distressedly.

Seeing that the child was so sensible, Liu wiped the sweat on his head.

"I'm not tired! There is not much cotton in this field anymore, and your second aunt and I are not thinking that instead of doing half a day tomorrow, it is better to finish it today and rest tomorrow. ”

Hearing what the eldest aunt said, Mu Lan asked Shen with her eyes, is it really? Are you off tomorrow?

Seeing his daughter's little eyes, Shen smiled and nodded. Confirming this, Mu Lan and Mu Cheng jumped happily, but Mu Cheng was simply happy that his grandmother could take a day off, and Mu Lan thought that tomorrow Shen Shi would be empty, and he would have time to accompany him to study today's results - the return of those three-colored wild eggs.

Either way, it's fun. The two rushed over to help their respective grandmothers push the car into the warehouse, and the warehouse was already stacked with two large piles of cotton, white with a little yellow, looking at the breath of a bumper harvest.
