After tidying up the yard, Caiyun also came over to eat, and the four of them gathered around the kitchen, because Helian Sheng was there, the atmosphere of eating was a little delicate.

Caiyun occasionally raised her head, her eyes swept over her eldest sister and Heliansheng, and she couldn't help but break the deadlock, "Sister, today they are going to start the fish pond, shouldn't the fish pond behind our house also be raised, didn't you say that you will put lotus root and water chestnut seedlings next year?" ”

When she said this, Mu Xiang was also serious, "I'm going to Damei's house in the morning, and I'm going to ask Brother Wang Xi by the way to see if they have time to help us up, and it's time to pickle salty goods, it's time to prepare." "It's the middle of October on the lunar calendar, and the New Year will be in another month and a half, so it's really time to prepare for the New Year, and the pig intestines she collected can also come in handy.

Mu Lang took a bite of the soft egg cake and said vaguely, "Hmm...... Brother Wang Xi is so capable, there must be no problem with the fish pond. ”

Caiyun also smiled: "Yes, there is an eldest sister, Brother Wang Xi is willing to help us do anything, ask him to help us build the fish pond, that's not a matter of words." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, ask someone for help, that's a favor, I haven't repaid him this favor, don't talk nonsense in the future, it's also outside," Mu Xiang said anxiously. She didn't want to clarify anything, no matter whether Grandma Wang said those words yesterday or not, she didn't want those gossips to involve her and Wang Xi, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings in the future. People are terrible, she doesn't care, but she doesn't want to cause trouble.

He Liansheng sat on a small bench with a backrest, holding a bowl in one hand and an egg cake in the other.

Listening to the conversation between the three of them, someone felt unhappy, "Isn't it just a fish pond?" I'll be alone, and after dinner, Mu Lang will bring a shovel and follow me. "You don't have to ask for advice, you don't have to ask too much, it's like stating a fact.

Mu Xiang was surprised, "You can start a fish pond?" It's really fake, if you want to help, you can let Wang Xi teach you, besides, you can't do it alone, it's very troublesome. "It's not a trivial matter to start a fish pond, although the fish pond behind her house is not large, but if you do it alone, you have to do it until the Year of the Monkey!

Helian Sheng's cold face was already full of displeasure, "Within two days, I promise to finish it for you!" He raised his head and drank the remaining porridge in his hand, and the remaining egg cakes were also devoured, and beckoned Mu Lang to move faster.

Mu Xiang bit the chopsticks, looking at his confident back, he really couldn't bear to hit others!

Forget it, when he really can't finish it, she will go to Wang Xi and them for help.

After breakfast, Mu Lang took Helian Sheng to the fish pond behind the house. He Liansheng put on a short coat again, saying that it was a short coat, but in fact, it was more like the clothes he usually wore for martial arts, and it was still of high quality, but in terms of style, it was simpler and easier to work.

Mu Xiang really didn't have much hope for him, so after breakfast, she threw the pots and pans to Caiyun to wash, and she went out.

What I promised to Grandma Wang yesterday has to be done quickly. She doesn't like to put things in her heart and torture herself, so she might as well solve it first.

The weather is good, and the village is lively, and there is work that should be done, and of course, there are fish ponds, digging horseshoe, and lotus roots.

Horseshoe is planted in the silt field, and it is not troublesome to plant, because the silt field is very wet, and it is very troublesome to dig.

When Da Mei's house was not yet, Mu Xiang was attracted by the noise by the pond not far away, and when he looked at it, Da Mei was also there, in addition to her, there were many people around, old and young, and it seemed that they were in the fish pond.

Da Mei was standing with her back to her, not noticing her, but Su Xiu, who was standing on the other side, saw Mu Xiang at a glance. At this time, Zhao Xiuwen was standing next to her, and the two were standing very close, and they looked very close, but there were still a few people standing around them, so it was not easy to cause gossip from others.

Su Xiu beckoned to Mu Xiang and deliberately shouted at her, "Mu Xiang come here!" She shouted very enthusiastically, she couldn't hide the smile on her face, and leaned towards Zhao Xiuwen intentionally or unintentionally.

As soon as she shouted, many of them noticed that everyone had different thoughts, and the eyes of Mu Xiang were different.

Only Da Mei's eyes were the most pure, and she stretched out her hand towards Mu Xiang with a smile.

Mu Xiang looked for Da Mei to have a personal matter to say, and she didn't want to drill into a crowded place at all, but there was no way to avoid it, so she had to bite the bullet, walked to Da Mei's side, took her hand, and whispered in her ear, "I have something to look for you, go back to your house." ”

Da Mei was careless, thinking that she had come up with an idea to make money again, "Let's see them catch fish first, my brother and Brother Wang Xi are here, and I will go back after reading it, so I won't delay my efforts." ”

Su Xiu smiled slyly and said bluntly: "That's it, what's the hurry, how busy your family can be, shouldn't you avoid it when you see me here and feel uncomfortable?" ”

No matter how careless Da Mei was, she could hear that what she meant was wrong, and she suddenly became angry, "What are you talking about, you will really put gold on your face, you are idle all day long, it doesn't mean that others are also idle, it's really sitting and talking without idle back pain!" Da Mei's disgusted eyes glanced at Su Xiu. She was right, Su Xiu was idle and panicked, except for being a female celebrity and embroidering at home, she basically didn't go out of the gate, and the second door was not out, and she was a little idle, but she was too lazy to run outside, and she was very tired of working in the field.

Su Xiu snorted coldly, "I just stand and talk without back pain, aren't you also a dog and a mouse to meddle in things?" I said her, but I didn't say you, I see that you are in a hurry, I am busy embroidering mandarin duck pillows at home, you haven't even decided on family affairs, I'm afraid I don't even know what mandarin ducks are. ”

Chi Guoguo's sarcasm, Su Xiu is usually not like this, mainly because she saw Mu Xiang, and she didn't hold back for a while, otherwise in front of Zhao Xiuwen, she would definitely not want to be a jealous woman.

Da Mei's face turned red, obviously she hated others taking her family affairs as a handle, and it was not her fault that she didn't decide on her marriage, why could anyone interject?

Zhao Xiuwen's face was displeased, Shao Qing'er was still young, and she had already been attracted by the cheerful scene in the pond, and she didn't see their dispute at all, otherwise with Mu Xiang'er's attitude towards her yesterday, she would have to take revenge and come back. Even if she lets it go now, it doesn't mean that she can really stand this anger, as long as she tells her cousin, she can bear it with woody fragrance.

Feeling that Zhao Xiuwen was unhappy, Su Xiuzhi shut up about the current affairs, stood beside him obediently, and quietly held Zhao Xiuwen's hand with his small hand, because the sleeves were hanging down, blocking the ambiguous movements of the two.

The displeasure in Zhao Xiuwen's heart was quickly replaced by the soft touch in his palm. The girl's hand, small and exquisite, was wrapped in his palm, as if it had softened into his heart.

The apricot eyes moistened by the wood perfume swept over the two of them, Da Mei was so angry, how could she give up lightly.

Xiu raised his eyebrows, the corners of his mouth hooked a mocking smile, looked at Su Xiu, and said with a smile: "I remember that you mistook the wild duck for a mandarin duck, don't embroider it wrong this time, in case someone sees you embroidering two wild ducks, but you have to laugh and be generous, after all, the wild duck and the mandarin duck are still very similar in some aspects!" With a disdainful gaze, he swept the two people on the opposite side again.

Da Mei was still angry, but when she heard the meaning of Mu Xiang's words, it was clear that she was comparing Zhao Xiuwen and Su Xiu to wild ducks, which was really poisonous. She couldn't hold back, holding her stomach and laughing, she leaned forward and leaned back, but she barely squatted on the ground.

The two on the other side didn't look good. Zhao Xiuwen's face was pale, and Su Xiu's face was pale and bloodless. But Su Xiu is Su Xiu after all, and she has learned a lot behind her mother, Chen Mei'e recently gave her a call, facing Mu Xiang, if you can't come hard, then you can only come soft.

Therefore, she cried very aggrieved, twitching her little shoulders, that look, people who don't know, still think that she was insulted!

Although Zhao Xiuwen's feelings for Su Xiu are not very deep, after all, she is her own lady who has not passed through the door, and she is still distressed when she sees her crying like this. He stared at Mu Xiang with an unkind face, and said with a pale face: "She is also your sister, why are you aggressive, just be angry with me, she is innocent, Mu Xiang, you have really changed, how good your personality was before, now it is unreasonable, I advise you to change it, lest no one really dare to ask for it in the future!" ”

The tone of charity, the eyes of compassion. It's like how cheap Mu Xiang is, and he pulled the focus of the quarrel to the relationship between Mu Xiang and him, obviously he wanted to sue others, Mu Xiang hated because he couldn't get it, otherwise why did he target Su Xiu everywhere and bully her.

Da Mei couldn't stand it anymore and took a sip, "Zhao Xiuwen, Zhao Xiuwen, why didn't I find that you have such thick skin before, and it's not ordinarily thick, you and Su Xiu are really a good match, a natural pair!" ”

Mu Xiang also smiled, clasped his hands to his chest, and smiled very charmingly, "That's natural, have you forgotten the analogy I just made?" People are thick-skinned and can't understand people's words, and I can't help it, since he wants to deceive himself so much, let him go, Zhao Gongzi, Master Zhao, I still like you, I want to vomit! ”

Mu Xiang scolded mercilessly, as if he slapped Zhao Xiuwen in the face with a loud slap.

Many villagers who had been around to watch the catch fish looked at them curiously. Gossip news, no matter what time and space it is, is very popular.

Shao Qing'er naturally noticed that they were arguing, she was a person who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, although she was young, but she was very good at doing it, "Big brother, she said this about you, you can still endure it and not get angry, but it's really useless, I have seen those officials in the town, but there is no one with a good temper like you!" ”

Zhao Xiuwen's face was pale, and his chest was very angry, "Mu Xiang, shut up, dare to talk nonsense again, believe it or not......" He raised his hand and made a posture of wanting to beat someone.

"Believe in you? Do you believe that you are going to hit someone? If you have a kind, you can give it a try? "Muxiang is also on fire, what kind of green onion is he, and he dares to stretch out his claws to beat someone.

At this time, Mu Xiang, how can there be a little bit of when she was with Zhao Xiuwen, she was as gentle as water, and she was completely a shrew. Especially compared with Su Xiuyi, Zhao Xiuwen was even more dumbfounded, if it weren't for the fact that his skin had not changed, he would really wonder if this wood fragrance had been transferred.

Da Mei was really angry when she saw this Mu Xiang, and she didn't dare to fan the flames anymore, not because she was worried that Mu Xiang would suffer, but because she was afraid of ruining Mu Xiang's reputation. Such a big girl still fights with people, and when she says it, she wants to laugh to death.

"Mu Xiang, don't be like him, aren't you here to find me? Let's go, let's go to my house," Da Mei hugged Mu Xiang's arm and was about to drag it back.

Mu Xiang glared at Zhao Xiuwen fiercely with his eyes, he was angry in his heart, if she was still a killer, how good would it be, even if she couldn't kill him, at least she could beat him up, and it would be good to get angry, so that he would be self-righteous all day long, thinking that he liked him.

Su Xiu didn't dare to squeak, she wasn't worried about Mu Xiang, she couldn't wait for Mu Xiang to be beaten! But she didn't want Zhao Xiuwen to have too much contact with Mu Xiang, so it was better to prevent trouble.

She hugged Zhao Xiuwen's arm and comforted him timidly, "Brother Xiuwen, don't be angry, Mu Xiang has always been like this, and she has a strong mouth, she has no malice, we can't be the same as her, we are accompanying Sister Qing'er out, don't scare her." ”

Her words made several people despise her in their hearts.

The first to despise her was Shao Qing'er. She is not stupid, on the contrary, she has seen too much of the children in her cousin's family fighting around, playing tricks and fighting minds, she understands more than children of the same age.

To be honest, she doesn't look down on Su Xiu, she is smart, self-righteous, and likes to play the White Lotus, as if anyone can bully her.

If she had been on hold, she would have jumped out and insulted Su Xiu, but now she just didn't squeak. Being able to look at the deflated man named Muxiang, she is happier than anyone else.

Zhao Xiuwen also knew that when he didn't fight at this time, he took a deep breath and suppressed his anger, "For Su Xiu's sake, I won't bother with you today, Mu Xiang, although Su Xiu is not your own sister, but she is also your relative after all, and she will soon be my wife, if you dare to bully her again, see how I clean you up!" ”

In fact, he didn't think like this in his heart, although the wood fragrance in front of him was as hot as a little pepper, but it was precisely because of the bright colors that she was like a luminous body, and unconsciously, she could attract the attention of others. However, he didn't like Mu Xiang to stare at him with his eyes, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

Mu Xiang sneered, looking down on Zhao Xiuwen more and more, just like him, can he still be an official? Even if he did, he would definitely be a corrupt official.

She sneered: "Do I have to thank you for your extrajudicial kindness, do you want to send you a pennant?" I've seen a thick-skinned person, but I've never seen a thick-skinned person like you, I'm really fed up, I beat you, and I feel like I got my hands dirty, Damei, let's go, look at the two of them, I don't have to eat lunch, I'm sick to death! When she first came through, she still wanted to restrain her temperament and live a peaceful life.

Now it seems that this wish is difficult to achieve. is originally a world of the jungle, no matter how weak you pretend to be weak, no one will sympathize, and no one will keep people because you are weak.

Mu Xiang sighed in her heart, she had to hurry up and pick up all the kung fu she had learned before, although in terms of internal strength, she may not be as good as those so-called heroes, but with her agility and speed, it shouldn't be too bad. Her archery skills are not bad, and she can be used more.

Here, Mu Xiang's mind has already flown to the sky, but some people just don't want to give up.

Shao Qing'er took a step forward and stopped in front of Mu Xiang and Da Mei, obviously not wanting them to go, and roared arrogantly: "You are in such a hurry to go, are you afraid?" I saw that you were quite good yesterday, but I can tell you that my cousin is coming to the village to play today, and it's too late for you to apologize to me now, otherwise, I want you to look good then! ”

Zhao Xiuwen's eyebrows frowned slightly, no wonder he didn't see Mother Wu when he got up this morning, and dared to let Shao Qing'er go back to move the rescuers.

Although he didn't like Mu Xiang's current temper, no matter how much he didn't like it, it would not be Shao Qing'er's cousin's turn to point fingers. With Mu Xiang's current temper, if it really makes trouble, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to end.

"Qing'er, your cousin, are they really coming?" Zhao Xiuwen frowned and asked.

"Mother Wu took the message, my cousin is the second young master of the Shao family winery, he heard that your village is very interesting, of course he wants to come and take a look," Shao Qing'er is like a proud little peacock, with her chin upturned and her small breasts that have not yet developed, very arrogant.

"Shao Qing'er, are you stupid, what are you calling Shao Wu to do, he is not welcome in my family, don't call him here," Zhao Xiujie walked over from the pond with a fish in one hand, barefoot, and stepped on the shore.

He heard them arguing from a distance, and he didn't want to ask, but as soon as he heard that Shao Qing'er actually called Shao Wu over, he was sulky, and his face was very heavy, as if it could rain at any time.

Not only Zhao Xiujie came over, but Wang Xi, who was originally catching fish in the pond, also looked at them.

Mu Xiang had only seen Zhao Xiujie a few times and was not familiar with it. She was worried about the uncle at home, in case something was looking for her, and she couldn't see her, it would not be good to find her here.

She said something in Da Mei's ear, Da Mei's face changed slightly, and she turned around and pulled her away.

Shao Qing'er was arguing with Zhao Xiujie about something, but she didn't notice that the two of them had quietly left the battlefield, and when her quarrel with Zhao Xiujie was over, she found that Mu Xiang and they were gone. But it doesn't matter, when his cousin comes, she will have to suffer.

Su Xiu Xiaoniao stood beside Zhao Xiuwen, staring at Mu Xiang in the direction of Da Mei's house, a smile of victory rose at the corner of her lips, and she said very aggrievedly in Zhao Xiuwen's ear: "Brother Xiuwen, it's all my fault, if it weren't for me, Sister Mu Xiang wouldn't resent you, if you let go of Sister Mu Xiang, then ...... What about the two of us...... Forget it, I don't want to embarrass you! ”

She lowered her head, her eyes stared at her upper, a sensible and patient well-behaved appearance, Zhao Xiuwen was very distressed when she saw it, "All the stupid things are said, the current Muxiang has changed, and she is no longer the empathetic girl she used to be, she has such a temper, how can she be my lady, the person who can be my lady, only you, it won't be long before the two of us get married, as soon as the marriage is done a year ago, I will go to Beijing, and when I settle down in the capital, I will come back to pick you up." ”

Su Xiu listened to the promise he made, and his heart was even more beautiful. Mu Xiang, that stupid girl, let go of Zhao Xiuwen, a big fish, and there were times when she regretted it. However, with Muxiang's current reputation, it would be nice to have someone to ask for it.

Mu Xiang pulled Da Mei back to Da Mei's house, the door of the house was locked, the long bolt and her father were not there, only a big flower dog raised by her family, when Da Mei opened the door, pounced out.

This dog is two sizes older than Mu Xiang's black treasure, and when he raises his head, he is almost up to Mu Xiang's waist. If you stand up, I'm afraid someone will be tall.

In the past, when Mu Xiang came to Da Mei's house, the dog was bolted, but now it was suddenly released, and it pounced straight at Mu Xiang, probably because he was excited to see Da Mei come back.

It was excited, and Mu Xiang was scared half to death.

Da Mei rarely saw Mu Xiang's helpless face, she laughed happily, but she still deliberately lowered her voice and scolded Dahua Dog, "Dahua, don't make trouble, go over, go to the side to play!" "The big flower dog originally didn't have a name, and Da Mei didn't have the heart to marry it, so she just called it Dahua, which was simple and trouble-free.

Dahua felt the anger of her master, put away her paws stupidly, wagged her tail, walked to the gate, crawled by the door, looked out boredly, and did not move.

Mu Xiang patted his heart and said fearfully: "Ouch, why don't you tie your dog, it's going to be the end of the year, and you're not afraid of asking someone to steal it." ”

"Dahua is old, counted, almost eleven years old, such an old dog, who has nothing to steal," Da Mei entered the house and brought her a small bench, and went to the kitchen to pour a cup of tea for her, and picked up the bamboo flat with needlework under the eaves of the porch, and chatted with her while doing needlework, and the two did not delay.

"Eleven?" Mu Xiang looked at the big flower lying motionless again, he hadn't looked at it carefully, it turned out that the big flower was shedding, and the bald areata shape that fell off looked like it was just a different color from a distance. Dog beaters who go to the countryside in winter don't like to beat old dogs that have lost their hair, in their words here, it is bad luck.

Da Mei nodded, "What's so strange about that, there are many old dogs in the village, my father said, when Dahua dies, he will bury our family's land, which can be regarded as the end of his pension." ”

According to the age of Dahua, it also grew up with Damei, and the relationship is naturally unusual, just like the black treasure of Mu Xiang's family, and in ten years, Hei Bao will also be old, and at that time, Mu Lang will grow up, and Hei Bao is also Mu Lang's playmate when he was young.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Da Mei held the soles of her shoes and couldn't help but ask her, "Didn't you just talk about Brother Wang Xi to talk about?" Why don't you talk about it now, shouldn't you be fooling me! ”

Mu Xiang put away her thoughts, and knew that as soon as she met Wang Xi's matter, Da Mei looked impatient, so she smiled and said: "How can I fool you, I came to you, naturally there is something important, yesterday Grandma Wang took Wang Xi and her aunt to my house." ”

When Da Mei heard this, she chuckled in her heart, her face was a little ugly, and she responded in a muffled voice, "Oh! ”

Mu Xiang looked at her face and knew that she wanted to be crooked, so she didn't tease her anymore, and directly told Da Mei what she told Grandma Wang.

After saying what Grandma Wang meant, Mu Xiang also told her what she thought, "Da Mei, don't care what others say, I think you and Wang Xi are very compatible, besides, this kind of thing is emotional, you have to get along, get along for a long time, it's not impossible to fall in love over time, Wang Xi has a gentle temperament, if you two can do it, I believe he will definitely be good to you in the future, if you don't hurry, in case you meet a girl who is straighter than you, rob him, and then you won't even have a chance to cry!" ”

Da Mei was very moved to hear it, but she also had her hesitation. Don't look at her usual big grin, but in her bones, she is still very conservative.

She always knew that the person Wang Xi had a crush on was Mu Xiang, she was envious, but she would not be jealous. No one stipulates who Wang Xi must like, his heart is his, who he wants to like, that is also his own decision, no wonder others.

But when she saw that Mu Xiang's mind was not on Wang Xi, the silent heart came to life again.

After all, it is the age when love is beginning to open, and when you meet someone you like, of course you think about it complicated.

Da Mei thought for a while, and suddenly thought of a very critical question, looked up at Mu Xiang and asked, "Didn't Grandma Wang dislike me before?" You tell her about me, and she agrees? ”

Mu Xiang smiled and said: "You think too much, Grandma Wang has never said that she doesn't like you, of course, she doesn't like you much, she likes a son, of course she wants him to marry a good daughter-in-law, as long as her son is happy, can she say nothing?" ”

Mu Xiang told the truth, and she didn't deliberately cover it up for Grandma Wang, Da Mei naturally knew it, she bit her lip, and said with some embarrassment: "To be honest, my father doesn't want me to marry in another village, and I don't want to, if I marry closely, I can still see them from time to time, and I have a foil for each other, but ...... Alas! She stopped talking, biting her lip and blushing.

"But what, I see, you and Brother Wang Xi are suitable to pick up the words and say, just his wooden brain, you must not go to the side to knock on the side, save the more you talk and the more chaotic it is, it is better to pick out and say, I just saw him fishing in the pond, you wait, I will help you call him."

Things are all laid out, grinding and chirping are not suitable for Mu Xiang, and the other two are twisting, so it is better for everyone to sit together and talk openly and honestly.

Mu Xiang stood up and ran outside, Da Mei was in a hurry, "Hey, you really went to find it, Mu Xiang, don't go!" ”

She chased to the door, but only saw Mu Xiang's back running away. Thinking that Wang Xi would come over soon, Da Mei panicked. Standing in the doorway, wringing hands, overwhelmed. One moment he touched his braids, and the other he ripped off the hem of his clothes.

Dahua glanced up at her lazily, then went back to her stomach and fell asleep.

Not long after Mu Xiang ran out, he dragged Wang Xi over. She was in a hurry, Wang Xi didn't even bother to put on shoes, and her feet, calves and stomach were all mud.

The two ran to Damei, but Wang Xi was still confused.

It was Da Mei who came back to her senses and saw Wang Xi's feet of mud, and hurriedly said: "Brother Wang Xi, I'll go and get a basin of water for you to wash your feet, on such a cold day, how can you do it barefoot!" ”

Seeing that Da Mei was anxious, because she didn't finish speaking, she turned around and went into the house and went to the kitchen to fetch water.

Mu Xiang looked at her hurried back, and said to Wang Xi meaningfully: "Brother Wang Xi, you see that Da Meiduo cares about you, she has never cared about me like this, you are really different in her heart!" ”

Wang Xi looked at her in wonder, as if she didn't understand what she meant, thinking about it, she thought about it, she smiled and said, "She treats me as a brother, who told me to grow up with a long bolt, naturally it is different." ”

Mu Xiang saw that he was smiling heartlessly, he was really anxious for Damei, and when he met an uninformed and uninteresting guy, it was like a basin of cold water poured from head to toe, and it was completely cold!

The two then entered the yard, and Da Mei had already made the foot washing water, "Brother Wang Xi, you wash first, I'll go find you a pair of shoes, uh, you are about the same size as my brother's feet, and you will definitely be able to wear his shoes." ”

Wang Xi politely thanked her, "Don't bother too much, it's the same to wear shoes when you go home after washing, my shoes are at home, didn't I wear them when I went?" In fact, he wanted to say that the long bolt was the same as him, and he also went to the pond barefoot to catch fish, why didn't he see Da Mei nervous about her brother, but came to nervous him?

Da Mei ignored his quibbles, urged him to wash his feet quickly, went to the house with a long bolt, took a pair of new shoes out, and ordered: "What are you talking about, after washing your feet, put on your shoes quickly!" ”

Mu Xiang teased him on the side, "Brother Wang Xi, you see that Da Meiduo cares about you, and the kindness of others, you will take it, and it's a big deal to go back and pay her back!" ”

Wang Xi was teased by the two of them, his cheeks were flushed, and he took the shoes shyly, but when he saw that the shoes were new, he stopped doing it again, and refused to ask for it, "You can just find a pair of old shoes for me to wear, and you can keep the new shoes, it's not good if they get dirty!" ”

Da Mei is an anxious person, seeing that he refuses to ask for it, she is anxious, throws her shoes into his arms, and says with a straight face: "I brought them all, you have to wear them if you don't wear them, do you dare not wear them, believe it or not, I threw them in the water?" ”

Mu Xiang also urged: "Oh, isn't it just a pair of shoes?" Brother Wang Xi, you just think that these shoes are specially made for you by Damei, Damei's kindness, if you refuse to ask for it again, you really can't say it, you quickly wash your feet, put on your shoes, I still have to tell you! ”

Wang Xi couldn't resist the two of them, so he had to wash his feet obediently, and then carefully put on his new shoes.

Speaking of which, his feet are bigger than Lin Changshu's feet, and it is said that Lin Changshu's shoes should be small for him to wear, but the shoes on his feet are just right, as if they were specially made for him.

Da Mei leaned against the door of the hall and looked at Wang Xi standing there, wondering for her shoes, feeling funny in her heart, but her face was silent.

Wearing other people's shoes, Wang Xi was very upset, he scratched his head, and said apologetically: "Why don't I wait for me to go home, wash it and return it to you." ”

Da Mei was so angry that she turned her head and simply entered the house, ignoring him.

Seeing Da Mei enter the house, Mu Xiang approached Wang Xi, turned his arm, and said to him: "You still don't understand, these shoes are obviously made for you, otherwise how can you wear them just right!" Da Mei is a good girl, even I can see her thoughts about you, don't tell me that you don't know. ”

Wang Xi was dumbfounded, looking at Mu Xiang blankly, and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Mu Xiang continued: "Grandma Wang is worried about your family, let me help you find out, although Damei has a straight temperament and a bigger temper, but she is a good girl, if you miss her, there will be a time when you regret it!" ”

Wang Xi blinked a few times, and slowly listened to what Mu Xiang said, "But ...... But, I ......" He pursed his lips, a little difficult to speak, and did not know what to say.

In fact, he liked Muxiang at the beginning, that kind of hazy emotion, not too strong, just knowing that when he looked at her, he was very happy, and if he couldn't see it, he would be worried. He hasn't liked anyone, and he doesn't know if such feelings are liked. As for Damei, there doesn't seem to be any special feeling for her other than treating her as a sister.

Mu Xiang saw that he was hesitant, and knew that he couldn't figure it out himself, so he said: "Why don't you try to get along with Da Mei first, maybe look at it from another angle, you will find that Da Mei is not a good girl, and it is better to marry home as a daughter-in-law!" ”

Wang Xi's face turned red at what she said, his head hung very low, but he didn't refute it, and he didn't say anything.

Mu Xiang saw that the time was almost up, so she was ready to flash people, and the rest of the matter was the matter of the two of them, how to get along, she couldn't help.

She said hello to Da Mei in the house, thinking that she still had to dig up a honeysuckle root, so she took her shovel and went to dig outside the courtyard wall. Da Mei ran out of the back room, with a blushing face, and snatched the shovel in her hand a little awkwardly, "I'll dig it for you, and you don't know which one to dig." ”

Mu Xiang secretly glanced at Wang Xi, who was standing in the courtyard, and saw him standing there in a daze, looking stupid, he wanted to laugh but couldn't help but didn't dare to laugh, because Damei's warning eyes had already swept over.

The honeysuckle tree outside the courtyard wall of Damei's house, some years, intertwined, densely growing to the top of the courtyard wall, some of the branches born in the roots, failed to climb to the top, and then spread along the ground.

Honeysuckle is a very lively common flower and plant, and it is easy to extend new rhizomes.

Taking advantage of the effort of digging roots, Da Mei asked her angrily, "Good and dignified, why do you want to say that I am interesting to him, it's too embarrassing." ”

If Wang Xi is also interested in her, then that's it, but she knows that Wang Xi cares about Mu Xiang in her heart, so how can she not be embarrassed.

Mu Xiang smiled and said: "What's so embarrassing about this, people say, men chase women across the mountain, women chase men across the veil, Wang Xi is not that you don't know, that Mu Na's temperament, I'm afraid that even he doesn't know what it means to like, you get along with him more, and you may be in love with him!" ”

Da Mei pursed the corners of her mouth, "Count it, I've known him for more than ten years, and I have already had feelings for a long time, alas, I'm dizzy now, forget it, let's take one step at a time!" ”

Mu Xiang didn't say anything more, feelings like this, when talking about others, it seems very simple, it is a matter of one plus one equals two, but it really has to fall on himself, and he has become a fan of the authorities.

After accepting the honeysuckle root dug up by Damei, Mu Xiang hurried home, and did not mention to Damei that Helian Sheng lived in her house.

This matter cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences, it is really in front of us, let's talk about it.

When I got home, Caiyun was the only one in the courtyard, and Mu Lang and Helian Sheng were nowhere to be found.

"This flower is for you, take it and plant it, I have other things," Mu Xiang handed the flower root to Caiyun and entered the old house.

Caiyun happily responded, "Oh, I'm going to plant it." ”

The mung bean sprouts that have been made can be taken out and sold today. Mu Xiang counted the time, and Chen Youfa, who sold tofu, should also come.

His family has been making tofu for several generations, and in Chen Youfa's generation, because he is a man in the family, the craft of making tofu has been passed on to him.

After marrying his mother-in-law, he made tofu and sold tofu with his mother-in-law. I heard that his family also has a field, and selling tofu is also a side business.

Chen Youfa is very talkative, he is also very hearty, he walks through the village and alleys, and his voice is also loud, he is happy to see everyone, Mu Xiang chatted with him well, these things were told to her by Chen Youfa when he chatted.

Mu Xiang separated the mung bean sprouts from the soybean sprouts, drained them in a bamboo basket, and moved them to the yard to put them aside first.

In the past few days, there has been some mildew rain, and Muxiang took out the small casings and hung them under the eaves of the porch to dry.

After finishing these tasks, thinking that Mu Lang and He Liansheng went to the pond behind the house, they didn't know how busy they were.

"Caiyun, I'll go and see them in the back, and if you hear the tofu seller coming, call me," she said to Caiyun as she walked outside the courtyard.

Caiyun nodded obediently.

The sun shone on the earth through a layer of clouds, the weather was not too good, and the northeast wind was blowing on the body, and it was quite cold.

Mu Xiang rubbed her hands and ran quickly towards the pond. Before he got closer, he heard Mu Lang's cheerful shouting, as if he had caught a big fish.

To start a fish pond, the simplest and most commonly used method is to build a dam in the middle of the pond, scoop up the water on one side of the pond, lack of water, the fish at the bottom of the pond are naturally easy to catch, of course, you can also use homemade bamboo to cuddle the fish.

Just now, when Wang Xi and them were catching fish, Mu Xiang saw that they were holding strangely shaped bamboo utensils in their hands, but he didn't know what those things were called.

Mu Lang turned around and saw Mu Xiang coming, bent down and lifted a big carp that had just been thrown up by Helian Sheng, and smiled from ear to ear, "Sister, look, this fish is so big, it's bigger than the one caught in the river!" ”

"See, you're moving pretty fast!"

Mu Xiang glanced at the big carp with its mouth open. I can't imagine that this small pond has such a big carp, I'm afraid it is more than six catties!

Helian Sheng stood in the pond, saw her coming, straightened up, and showed her a mouthful of teeth as white as ceramics, "It's not fast, you can get up in the evening." ”

As soon as he spoke, Mu Xiang noticed his appearance at the moment.

The trouser legs were rolled up to the thighs, the hem of the jacket was tied around the waist, and the shovel was held in one hand and a freshly caught grass carp in the other.

The face, body, and hair were full of mud dots. But the smile on his face is very clean and translucent.

Looking at his appearance, Mu Xiang couldn't help laughing, but he couldn't help it, covering his mouth and laughing, "You...... Look at the mud on you...... It's over, this dress must be hard to wash! ”

The days without a washing machine were horrible.

Helian Sheng stood in the water, not uncomfortable because of the dirty feeling on his body, but smiled at Mu Xiang very frankly, "It's hard to wash, throw it away!" ”

Mu Xiang glared at him, he really dared to say that such a good material would be thrown away, and wouldn't it be the same as new ones when he washed and sunned?
