Chapter 20: Fighting (1)
Among them, there is a slightly older baby, combed with a handful of pigtails, with a bare head, how funny it looks. When Mu Lang walked by them, he deliberately ran up and pulled Mu Lang's sleeve, and quickly ran back to the little baby pile. Mu Lang looked back for some reason, but it attracted the laughter of the group of people.
Someone else muttered, "Stupid pig! "Fool!" "Look at him stupid!"
Mu Xiang hugged things and walked fast, and he didn't hear their commotion. Mu Lang turned his head to look at his sister who didn't know anything, he chose to be silent, slowly turned his gaze back, followed his sister, and walked towards Wang Xi's house.
Wang Xi was squatting at the door of the house, mending his bow and arrows, and there were still a few iron hooks scattered on the ground, and it seemed that he was ready to go up the mountain.
Mu Lang called him, and Wang Xi looked up and saw that the person who came was Mu Xiang, and his dark face was full of smiles.
Mu Xiang walked up to him with a smile and said, "Brother Wang Xi, I earned a few small bucks yesterday and bought some lard, thinking of sending some to Grandma." ”
Wang Xi also saw her holding a big plate, and hurriedly excused herself: "Uh, no need, I still have lard at home, it's not easy for you to earn some, let's keep the lard for Mu Lang and them to cook!" ”
Mu Xiang said: "I still have it at home, these lard are not for you for free, you have seen the courtyard wall of my house, it is broken like that, and it is not safe to prevent thieves, I want to ask you to help, see if I can repair the courtyard wall, and my family's land, I also have to plow, these are very important jobs." ”
Wang Xi heard that she was talking about business, so he let her in and talked. Mu Lang squatted on the ground playing with a bow and arrow, seeing that he liked to play, Mu Xiang didn't ask him to go in, just told him not to run around, and he would come out in a while.
Grandma Wang was overjoyed when she saw Mu Xiang coming again, and asked Wang Xi to carry a stool, and asked him to go into the house to get peanuts, and turned Wang Xizhi's group around.
How could Mu Xiang not be able to see Grandma Wang's thoughts, but she really didn't have any feelings for Wang Xi, right now, she really couldn't find anyone to help, otherwise she wouldn't want to trouble Wang Xi all the time.
Under the pretext of taking the lard to the kitchen, Grandma Wang walked away, so that Wang Xi could talk to Mu Xiang alone.
Wang Xi is a good worker, the heavy work of repairing at home, is also done by him, so for the wall of the seminary, it is only a matter of time, technically, there is really nothing to be embarrassed about, so he agreed to come down, said: "In recent days, the weather is hot and humid, there are not many prey in the mountains, you have to wait until it is cooler, it is good to hunt, I think so, I will find the long bolt when I turn around, and I will go to dig mud in the afternoon, make adobe, such a hot day, you can use it for two days, and when you dry the adobe, I will plow your ground with the long bolt, just right, There was no delay at all. ”
Chang Bolt is the eldest son of a family living in the south of the village, Mu Xiang is not very familiar with him, but his sister Da Mei, who played together a few years ago, and later because of Mu Xiang's three sisters and brothers, he was driven out by Li Dashan, busy with his livelihood, so he didn't have time to play with her again. Da Meizi's family is also poor, her mother died early, there is only an elder brother in the family, and a sick father, and the three of them are also dependent on each other.
In ancient times when medical conditions were backward, illness was the most terrible thing, not to mention that it was impossible to work, and the cost of medicine was also expensive.
Mu Xiang naturally doesn't understand the matter of repairing a house, but she understands the truth of working and getting money, "Brother Wang Xi, you can look at this salary matter, how much you should give, just say it." ”
Wang Xi listened to her mention the money, smiled down, and said: "The adobe of the temple wall does not cost money, and my cattle are idle, and the big deal is to wait for the plough to finish the field, and feed more forage, as for the wages, if you mention it again, you will see the outside, it is a trivial matter, these days the long bolt is also idle at home, and after a few days, he will go to work in the town, just want to find someone, and he can't find it, you, don't worry about anything, get some food then, and it will be." ”
"How can this work, you help my family work, that's a contribution, how can you not be paid," Mu Xiang also sincerely wanted to pay them. Wang Xi has a father who is paralyzed in bed at home, and Grandma Wang's body is not tough, so she can't go to the town to find work like a long bolt. The family is not rich in the first place, so she is embarrassed to always take advantage of them.
Grandma Wang came out of the kitchen at this time, and said with a smile: "Mu Xiang, you have sent so much lard, what kind of money do you mention, it is not easy for you little babies, if you want to say other things, we can't help anything, but this hard work, your brother Wang Xi can still do it, not to mention the wall of the seminary, it is the house that is built, my family Xizi is also a good hand, in our village, there are few people who can compare!" ”
Mu Xiang smiled gratefully, Grandma Wang is praising her son by changing the law! She had nothing else to say except nodding yes, seeing that Wang Xi resolutely refused to talk about wages, she didn't want to mention it again, and it was a big deal to get good things in the future, and then send them to Grandma Wang. Living in the countryside, there are many things that are more useful than money, such as food, such as salt, but they are more important than silver. Of course, you can't do it without money.
After sitting down for a while, Mu Xiang stood up and was about to leave. When Grandma Wang heard that Mu Lang was playing outside, she asked Mu Xiang to catch some peanuts and bring them to Mu Lang to eat.
Wang Xi stood up to send her out, and when he walked outside the door, he found that Mu Lang was not where he was before.
"Hey, where did the dog go," Wang Xi was a little worried, his name was still Mu Lang's previous name, and Mu Xiang's change of his brother's name was still known only to their three sisters and brothers.
Although Mu Xiang was also worried, he didn't dare to come out, so he only said: "He may have gone somewhere else to play, Brother Wang Xi, you are busy with yours, I will find it myself." ”
Wang Xi knew that their sister and brother had a good relationship, so she was willing to go to find her alone, "I'll go with you, fortunately, the village is not big, and the dog must have seen something fun!" ”
Mu Xiang smiled and said, "Brother Wang Xi, I changed the name of the dog, it is called Mu Lang, Lang, which means sunny day." ”
Wang Xi smiled honestly, "Well, this name is good, it's better than calling Mu Gou'er, Mu Xiang, you are really knowledgeable." ”
Mu Xiang didn't say anything, she didn't find Mu Lang, she didn't have any thoughts.
Fortunately, I didn't go far when I heard a commotion, as if there was going to be a fight! Wang Xi's eyes were sharp, and he saw it at once, "There!" ”
Mu Xiang hurriedly ran over, "Mu Lang, why are you running here alone, I'm in a hurry!" ”
Mu Lang stood with his back to Mu Xiang, standing in front of a group of little babies, and he didn't know what he was doing. Hearing Mu Xiang call him, he slowly turned his head and looked at the eldest sister.
"Ah, what's wrong with you?" Mu Xiang was startled, because Mu Lang's face was full of tears.
Mu Lang wiped his face, his little head slowly drooped, as if he wanted to bury himself in his chest, and his voice was muffled, "I...... It's okay...... Sister, let's go home! ”
