Chapter 50: Wang Xi's troubles
"Giggle......
Suddenly, the hen in the coop crowed, flapped her wings through the small hole, and ran outside. The gurgling sound has not stopped, it is informing the master of its own merits!
Picking up eggs is Mu Lang's favorite thing to do, and when he hears the hen crow, he turns around and runs to the chicken coop.
There is only one chicken nest in the chicken coop, and at this time, in the nest made of straw, there is a freshly laid egg, and Mu Lang holds it in his hand, it is still warm!
"Eldest sister, look, it's laying eggs again," Mu Lang ran into the kitchen happily and showed the eggs to Mu Xiang.
"Well, in the future, they will lay eggs every day, and in the future, Mu Lang will be able to eat an egg every morning, and next year, my sister will raise a litter of young ladies, and by the end of next year, there will be a lot of eggs to eat," Mu Xiang knew that his younger brother wanted to eat eggs, but at present, there were only so many vegetables at home, and the eggs should be kept for cooking.
Mu Lang shook his head and said innocently: "I don't eat eggs, these eggs are kept to hatch chicks, we have to hatch a lot of chicks." ā
Mu Xiang nodded, agreeing with him, "Okay, let's feed a large flock, and next year we will feed the ducks and the geese, and when we have duck eggs, we can eat salted duck eggs, and you can also eat braised ducks, and there are also salted geese to eat in winter." ā
Salty goose? Mu Lang thought about it, he seems to have never eaten it, what is the braised duck, salted duck eggs have been seen, it seems that Li Dashan has eaten it, at that time he squatted at the door to watch, Li Dashan held chopsticks in one hand, duck eggs in the other, broke the shell, pulled out the egg yolk inside, and watched him eat with relish, Mu Lang dreamed of eating a bite for a long time.
Thinking of salted duck eggs, Mu Lang pulled Mu Xiang, pointed to the mansion, and said weakly: "Sister, he has it at home, he has eaten it!" ā
It may be that the heart is connected, Mu Xiang Qing yƬ understood the meaning of his words, her hands were dipped in flour, she lowered her head and rubbed Mu Lang's head with her chin, "It's okay, let's not envy others, wait for the next time the eldest sister goes to town, buy salted duck eggs, buy them back for you to taste, next year sister will pickle a lot of salted duck eggs, ask Mu Lang to eat enough." ā
At the same time, Wang Xi's house, the atmosphere is a little dull, but Wang Xi is also used to it, there is rarely laughter in his family, most of the time, Grandma Wang only buries her head in the kitchen, Daddy Wang sits on the kang all year round, smoking dry tobacco, occasionally when the weather is good, he will carry Daddy Wang to the yard and bask him in the sun.
And he doesn't talk much, in addition to working, he still works, every day he is busy with the work in the field, taking advantage of the dawn, sitting in the yard, cutting bamboo chips, weaving bamboo baskets, bamboo flats, accumulating a lot, can take it to the town for money. But because most of the country men can weave bamboo, the price of the things he sells is very low, and he can only barely exchange some oil and salt.
Grandma Wang sat behind the stove, sighed again, pulled down the firewood with an iron fork, looked at her son sitting in the courtyard, and thought of the wood fragrance. In her opinion, the two are very compatible, her Wang Xi is not ugly, such a big one, with good facial features, although the temperament is a little stuffy, but people are honest, such a male baby, why can't Mu Xiang look down on it?
The more she thought about it, the more she couldn't figure it out, hesitated, and said to Wang Xi: "Son, aren't you going to take Muxiang up the mountain tomorrow?" Or, when you get the opportunity, you go and ask Mu Xiang, try what she means, my mother wanted to ask today, but the words came to my mouth, and swallowed back, you go to ask, it's more appropriate than me to ask, we can't always be so unclear, if Mu Xiang is not interesting to you, my mother will go to ask the matchmaker to tell you about it, it's a big deal for us to borrow money, no matter what, the daughter-in-law must be married! ā
Wang Xi was cutting bamboo chips, his hands were stunned, and his eyes were a little dim, "How can I ask!" He couldn't ask, and he didn't know what to say. If he says anything else, he will strike, but he is afraid that when he faces Mu Xiang, he will not even be able to say a word.
Grandma Wang hated him for his virtue, and the iron fork was heavily rested, and she hated the fierceness of iron and steel: "What can't you say, didn't my mother ask you directly, won't you use your brain and find an excuse to ask?" It's really such a big one! ā
Wang Xi still shook his head, he just refused to ask, he was also afraid, he was afraid that Mu Xiang would hear it, and he didn't like him, how embarrassing it would be for the two to meet in the future. He saw that the old lady's anger was not light, so he had to change the direction to comfort, "Mother, Mu Xiang is still young, she still has Caiyun and Mu Lang, Li Dashan doesn't care about them, Mu Xiang must take care of them, if they don't grow up, Mu Xiang will definitely not agree to marry!" Although it is a comforting word, it is also a fact, at least for five years, Mu Xiang will not marry.
"Alas, my mother is also worried about this, marrying Mu Xiang is equivalent to having three more mouths at once, which will exhaust you to death," Grandma Wang couldn't think of this layer, just ......
Wang Xi couldn't hear the old lady's dissatisfaction with Mu Xiang, and was anxious to help Mu Xiang speak, "No, don't you see that Mu Xiang has changed now?" Become so capable, I heard that she sold a recipe and made a lot of money, these days, she has dried a lot of chrysanthemum tea and sold it to Fushoulou, she is now more and more good at doing business, Li Dashan gave her the land is also neat and tidy, according to this, her family will soon be rich! ā
Grandma Wang glared at him, "You, when you mention Mu Xiang, there are endless words, why come to her, you can't let out a fart, yes, Mu Xiang is capable, but no matter how capable she is, she is also a female baby, just like that, Caiyun and Mu Lang are still her drag, unless they grow up, alas, early, she can wait, you can't wait, you don't want to ask, then I have to be cheeky to ask, no matter what, at the latest by the end of next year, you have to get married, and if you don't get married, your mother will have to be blind!" ā
Alas! This time it was Wang Xi's turn to sigh. He didn't want to marry a daughter-in-law, but when he saw Liu Erdan's mother, a spicy and unreasonable appearance, he would rather wait than find a mother-in-law to marry casually, if he marries someone like Liu, can he live in the future?
"Ahem!"
The old man's cough came from the room, and he coughed one after another, as if he was going to cough out his lungs.
Grandma Wang heard her wife coughing, stood up, poured a bowl of water and sent it to the back room. Her house's house is better than the one they live in. There are three big houses, the middle is the hall house, and the two sides are the inner rooms for sleeping.
In fact, her house, compared with other families in the village, is very shabby, and it is strange that the house is decades old.
The Westinghouse was not lit, and it was not dark outside, but inside the house, it was already so dark that I couldn't see the road.
With many years of memory, Grandma Wang touched the darkness and handed the water over, "Old man, drink the water." āāā
