84_84767 In ancient times, there was no concept of weight loss, and the cute and beautiful nature would not change no matter what time and space it was. At least they know that if they eat too much, they will gain weight and cannot eat more.

After the two finished eating noodles, Da Mei bought five beef patties, gave three to her brother, told him to pad his stomach, and brought the rest back to her father.

Mu Xiang saw that his cake was good, the skin was burnt yellow, and the filling inside was also authentic beef, mixed with five spices, not to mention eating, it was very fragrant just by smelling.

So she also bought a few and planned to take them back for Mu Lang and Caiyun to eat.

Seeing that the hour was not early, the two did not dare to delay any longer.

Mu Xiang dragged Da Mei, who was carrying cotton on her shoulders, and the two went to Zhang Butcher together.

Counting the time, he should be coming to close the stall, and I don't know if he still has pork. If not, Mu Xiang has to book with him and let him send him to the village.

However, it is best to be able to buy it here.

Otherwise, what Zhang Butcher sent must have been half of the pork, not divided, pig's trotters, pork ribs, everything.

But she doesn't need any of these things, she just needs backseat meat, or pork belly.

Sausages, it's okay to get a little fat.

When the two of them rushed to Zhang's butcher's stall, he was sitting on the side of the stall smoking a dry cigarette, and his oily face was full of sorrowful words.

Mu Xiang walked over, deliberately silent, and when he came to him, he suddenly called him.

Butcher Zhang's real name is Zhang Erbao, I don't know what he was thinking, he was startled by Mu Xiang's shouting, and almost shook out the tobacco in his pipe.

"Ouch, wooden girl, it's you, come here, why are you so loud," Zhang Erbao knocked the cigarette stick on the table. Apparently not too cold by the arrival of Muxiang.

Mu Xiang saw that he was not in a good mood, and the slightly picky phoenix eyes swept around his stall.

It is said that the hour is not early, but Zhang Erbao's stall is full of pork, and it seems that his business is not very good!

"Why do you have all that pork left, which you just killed in the morning? It can't be leftover from yesterday, right? She had a basis for asking.

If it's summer, they usually don't eat too much pork, and in such hot weather, the meat will have to taste bad before noon.

But winter is different, if you eat more, even if it is overnight, the pork will not be bad. But in terms of price, overnight nights have to be cheaper, because they are not fresh.

Muxiang was going to make sausages, she didn't want overnight meat, she wanted the freshest pork.

Hearing her question, before Butcher Zhang could answer, Da Mei pointed to the pork and shouted.

"This is not overnight meat, look at this color, how fresh it is, boss, how much is a catty, I'll buy some."

Zhang Erbao saw that she wanted to buy pork, and immediately came to the end, quickly stood up, and said with a smile: "It's still you girl who knows the goods, I have fresh pork, but my brain is dizzy today, and there is more pork in it, how do I know that Fushoulou doesn't want it, so I have to sell it myself." ”

Mu Xiang was puzzled, so he naturally asked, "Why doesn't Fushoulou want pork?" Supposedly, in the winter, they should stock up, why not! ”

"This ...... Who knows," Zhang Erbao suddenly flickered, and his eyes were dodging.

Looking at him like this, needless to say, Mu Xiang also guessed that it was this guy who was greedy and cheap.

Last time, he was scolded by Steward Liu for stealing the pig's large intestine, and if he committed it again, a person with an old-tempered temper like Steward Liu would not forgive him again.

But it's none of her business, she's not too busy with her own work.

Da Mei picked two pieces of oily pork belly, and after weighing, she bargained with Butcher Zhang before paying the bill.

Mu Xiang waited for the two of them to finish the transaction, then pointed to a few pieces of pork hanging on the iron hook, which were more than a dozen catties, and asked, "Uncle Zhang, if I want all this pork, how much can you make?" ”

"You want all of this?" Zhang Erbao was dumbfounded, the boss with his mouth open, "Mu girl, is your family going to do something, oops, could it be that you are going to get married?" There are only two possibilities he can think of, and only for a banquet can he need so much pork.

"What nonsense are you talking about, I'll just buy pork, who stipulates that you can only buy it if you do things at home?" Mu Xiang retorted unceremoniously to him, and her little face turned red with anger.

Zhang Erbao probably felt that his question was abrupt, and he laughed dryly, "No, it's not, I'll just say it casually." ”

Da Mei couldn't help stealing music next to her, quietly ripped off the corner of Mu Xiang's clothes, and whispered teasingly: "Yo, I didn't expect our Mu Xiang girl to really have a good relationship, why don't you tell me honestly, is it the son who lives in your house?" ”

"Explain your size, I don't want to do business, I just want to be crooked," Mu Xiang glared at her angrily, turned her head and urged Zhang Butcher, "Uncle Zhang, please hurry up, I still have to rush home, you pick some good ones, about thirty catties, I don't want bones, and I don't want miscellaneous, you keep those things, you call me according to the price of pork belly." ”

She pointed to a few pieces of pork, some with ribs attached to them.

Zhang Erbao was not verbose, and according to what she said, he took down all the pork hanging on it for her.

Recently, the price of pork has dropped a bit, because in winter, there are many farmers who sell pigs and kill them. If there is more, the price will naturally drop.

The original price was forty-five yuan a catty, and Butcher Zhang sold it to her at a price of forty yuan per catty, which can be regarded as helping him deal with it himself.

And he also knows that Mu Xiang has a good brain, this time he bought so much pork at once, he must want to do something, if it happens, there will be more and more business in the future, he is greedy for little money, and he has to look far.

Looking at the pork he picked off, Mu Xiang remembered something again, "Uncle Zhang, you still have to help me scrape off the pig skin, all the pig skin has to be scraped, my knife skills are not good, you can't help it." ”

"Cheng, this is not easy," Butcher Zhang's hand raised and fell, only to see the knife flashing, his two hands flying, that action is not ordinary skill.

He used only two knives per piece of pork, and the pork rind and pork parted ways.

Zhang Erbao found a basket for the two of them and loaded all the pork into it, "Can you two carry it?" Why don't I give you both a ride? ”

Mu Xiang shook his head, "We brought a cart, right at the gate of the town, you can take care of your stall, selling pork is the right thing." ”

Dozens of catties of pork, plus such a big bag of cotton, are not light.

Fortunately, she and Damei are not delicate and weak girls, the two of them stopped and stopped all the way, fortunately, it was really not far from the city gate, Lin Changshui waited for them for a long time, so he drove the cart all the way over, met on the road, and saved Muxiang and them for a while.

In addition to pork, Muxiang bought a lot of refined salt, aged vinegar, and a jar of liquor, looking at this amount, it was enough to have five or six catties.

It is all wine made from grain, and it is not good to drink, and the fragrance is mellow.

Of course, she also bought liquor to make sausages, but she was not greedy for glasses.

They didn't return home until late in the evening.

However, there are beef patties on the road, and I am not very hungry.

When he arrived at the intersection of the village, Mu Xiang asked Da Meiming to come to the house to help, if Jin Ju was free, he would also call Jin Ju. She has been busy with getting married recently, but I'm afraid she won't be available.

But this is a sausage, and she is afraid that she will not be able to do it alone.

Before Mu Xiang came back from the town, she went to Chen De and asked him for something, mainly to make sausage props, she had drawn drawings and asked Chen De to do the same.

That is, a manual sausage machine, the difference is that this one is hand-cranked, and there is no electricity, so it can only be cranked by hand.

Chen De's hand is quite clever, and the machine he made has a look.

Having said that, this principle is like a pumping machine, relying on the agitation of a spiral to push the pork forward.

Of course, this is not a grinder, so before loading the sausages, the pork has to be chopped manually, which is not a small amount of work.

Da Mei was also curious about what Mu Xiang was going to do, so she readily agreed and came over to help tomorrow.

In addition, the Chinese cabbage planted in the vegetable field can also be harvested one after another.

At the beginning, I also listened to Mu Xiang's opinion, and there is a difference in the time when these Chinese cabbages are planted, so that they can be compared to avoiding, and the Chinese cabbage is received at the same time, so they are not as good as them.

In a word, they will be very, very busy these days.

When I get home, I don't have to wash the pork, but I don't have to put it away for a long time, but I don't put it in the kitchen, otherwise I will be remembered by the wild cats.

Just in case, Mu Xiang simply moved all the pork to the room where they slept, and watched it under their noses, which was the most reassuring.

For dinner, Mu Xiang put the beef patties he brought back and steamed them in a large pot to soften, boiled a pot of corn paste, mixed with chili sauce, and it was very fragrant to eat.

Before going to bed, Mu Xiang went to see the sprouts of the beans again.

In the past two days, Chen Youfa's bean sprouts have been selling well, and the amount is increasing slightly, and she is also preparing to increase the amount of bean sprouts. No, today she bought 50 catties of soybeans and mung beans from the town.

Caiyun followed her in and carefully told the eldest sister about the process of soaking beans, as well as the temperature of the water and the temperature of the kang. When the weather is cold, it will lead to slow budding of the beans, and this temperature can only be increased by burning the clay kang.

Mu Xiang was not at home, Caiyun did it alone, and she also wanted to wait for her eldest sister to come back and study it with her.

By the time I finished this qiē and plugged in the door of the hall to sleep, it was already late.

Lying on the kang, Mu Xiang looked at the dark window, and suddenly felt empty in his heart.

There is no moon or stars tonight, and the black hand cannot see the five fingers.

The more such an environment is, the easier it is for people to fall into unwarranted fear.

Mu Xiang wasn't too scared, but it just felt empty. made her involuntarily think of Helian Sheng.

When the man lived in her house, the sense of storage was already very strong, and as soon as this person left, the sense of storage did not disappear, as if there was his shadow everywhere.

Sure enough, no matter how good a man is in the family, it is different. At least in Helian Sheng's nights, Mu Xiang slept very soundly, and he would not wake up at night, and he definitely slept until dawn.

Early the next morning, Mu Xiang's family of three was busy.

Before Da Mei came, he couldn't even eat breakfast, so he began to wash the pork.

Mu Xiang brushed a large wooden basin for pork, and also brushed a large bucket.

After Caiyun got up, he cooked breakfast, which was a pot of white rice porridge, washed three eggs, put them in the pot, and slowly warmed them.

In addition, she also made a few steamed buns in the pot, otherwise she would not be hungry if she just ate porridge.

There is a well at home, and it is much more convenient to clean pork, and you only need to keep fetching water.

In order to remove impurities from the pork, Muxiang also asked Caiyun to scoop warm water to wash the meat.

Da Mei didn't come over until after breakfast, and Jin Ju also came, but the clothes she was wearing were too clean, not like she was here to help with the work, but like she came to visit relatives.

Mu Xiang beckoned them to come and sit down, and by the way, he also taught them what to do, "First, you have to chop all these pork, the more crushed the better, and then put these seasonings in according to the proportion I have prepared." ”

Originally, I only wanted to make two flavors, one sweet and one salty, but then I thought about it, I can also make spiced food, but I don't know if people here can eat it.

Let's do a little bit for the time being, and then let's try it.

Jin Ju rolled up his sleeves and sat on the small bench, but his face was a little embarrassed, "Mu Xiang, I can only help you for a while, I still have something at home." ”

"It's okay, you just have to go and busy with your business, this work is not urgent, wait a minute, I'll ask Caiyun to invite Grandma Wang to come over and see if she is free, if Brother Daxi is also there, it will be good," Mu Xiang smiled at her.

In fact, there is another meaning to invite Grandma Wang and Wang Xi. It's not because of Da Mei, she wants these three people to get along more.

What's the use of just talking and not practicing, people still have to get along with each other.

Sure enough, when Da Mei knew that Wang Xi was coming, her little face couldn't help but turn red.

A few people were no longer verbose, and Mu Xiang divided the work for them.

Half an hour later, Jin Ju went home. Caiyun also invited Grandma Wang and Wang Xi to come, and Mu Xiang also told their family not to cook at noon, Wang Xi and his father ate at noon, just bring some food back.

For a whole day, the courtyard of Mu Xiang's house was a busy green scene.

Grandma Wang really couldn't understand at first, what Mu Xiangquan was doing with so many guys.

Until he saw Mu Xiang with his own eyes, put the casing on the manual enema machine, and stuffed the minced pork through the hole above.

Finally, I watched one by one, and the oily fat sausages were squeezed out of the machine, and then I gradually understood.

But is this really something to eat?

Wang Xi sat on the edge of the machine, with a wooden handle in the distance, Mu Xiang was holding the basin, responsible for adding pork to it, and Grandma Wang was standing at the other end, busy receiving sausages. Da Mei is holding a cut cotton rope and is dividing the long sausage into small sections.

Hearing Grandma Wang's muttering, Mu Xiang smiled and said to her: "Of course you can eat it, Grandma, let me tell you, this thing, put under the eaves of the porch, in the current weather, can be eaten after about ten days of air drying, and then you don't need to burn it, as long as it is steamed in a rice pot, you can eat it, but it is fragrant." ”

She is still very confident in the sausages she fills, from the selection of meat to the ingredients, she does it all by herself.

It can ensure that the taste of this sausage after drying is not too hard, nor too soft, and the saltiness and sweetness are absolutely moderate.

Of course, if you want to think about it, you have to wait for the finished product to come out.

"Muxiang's craftsmanship, don't you still believe it? I'm looking forward to it, and I've told her that when the first batch of sausages comes out, we'll have to taste them first, and if they're delicious, we'll sell them," Da Mei smiled without raising her head.

Wang Xi looked up and saw that Da Mei and Mu Xiang were smiling brightly, and the smile on his face gradually increased, "If this thing can really be done, it is also a way to make a fortune, but the cost is a little more expensive, the cost is expensive, and the finished product must be expensive, Mu Xiang, you think about it, how much does this thing cost a catty?" Wang Xi's concern is very reasonable.

Originally! It's nice for a country man to have meat, let alone sausages made from pure meat.

After drying, the weight of the sausages will be much reduced, which means that the final price of the sausages will be much more expensive than pork, so who can afford it.

It's better to eat sausage than pork!

Mu Xiang shook his head, "I haven't thought about the price yet, I want to make a batch of sausages first, and then say, I don't plan to sell the first batch of sausages outside, I want to send them to Fushou Building, their restaurant has a wide road, as long as they approve it, it is possible to cover it all." ”

She thought for a while, and then said: "And there are still two months to go before the New Year, and many people have to do New Year's goods when they are outdated. ”

Wang Xi felt that what she said was very reasonable, it turned out that what he was worried about was not a problem at all in Mu Xiang's eyes, and people had already thought about it.

Da Mei couldn't help but bury Wang Xi, "Mu Xiang's brain is full of life, she was born to do business, what are you worried about!" ”

What she meant by this was a bit of Wu Nong's soft words. Maybe she didn't even notice it.

But Mu Xiang caught a glimpse of Wang Xi's face flushing, his head hanging down, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Mu Xiang suddenly felt that today's opportunity was too good, so he spoke: "Brother Wang Xi, what kind of in-laws did you say Da Mei would find in the future, alas...... She's such a temperament, if she finds a bad-tempered or cautious one, she'll have to suffer! ”

Da Mei was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Mu Xiang to suddenly turn the conversation to herself, and her little face turned red, "What nonsense are you talking about, your own heart!" ”

Mu Xiang hates iron and does not become steel. kindly rubbed it for you, and dared to complain about her.

But the words have been asked, how can there be any reason to take it back, Mu Xiang turned his gaze to Wang Xi.

Wang Xi opened her mouth a little awkwardly under the signal of her aggressive eyes, "No...... No, she's sure to find a good in-law......"

"This is not necessarily, knowing the face but not the heart, if it happens, this life will be ruined, alas......" Mu Xiang sighed again, as if he was really worried about Damei.

Wang Xi was about to speak and stopped, his mouth opened, but he didn't know what to say.

But Grandma Wang couldn't stand it, "Then what is there to consider, Da Mei, you see how my king is happy, you want to look good, you have to have a physique, if you marry in, your aunt promises to treat you and her daughter, and will never treat you badly, what's the matter?" ”

This was still Mu Xiang secretly instigated her to say this, these two people are too good at shrinking, if no one forces them, I am afraid that there will be no progress until next year.

Da Mei and Wang Xi didn't expect that Grandma Wang would talk so openly, and both of them couldn't help blushing.

Wang Xidu couldn't sit still, the work in his hands was also messed up, and he didn't know where to put it, "Mother, what are you talking nonsense, don't talk about it." ”

Da Mei didn't speak, her head hung low, if she could, I was afraid that she would shrink into her stomach.

Mu Xiang smiled and echoed Grandma Wang's words, "Brother Wang Xi, I think what my aunt said is very pointed, you are both not young, feel good, just get together, if it's really not good, then let's talk about it, even if it doesn't work, it's nothing, we are all playing from childhood to adulthood, we can't be a family, at least we can be neighbors." ”

Seeing that there was a play, Grandma Wang also came up and said: "Mu Xiang is right, it's not the first time you two have met, what's so embarrassing, this matter, the main thing is to ask what Da Mei means, Da Meizi, you honestly tell your aunt, do you want to marry Wang Xi?" ”

Grandma Wang definitely thinks that her daughter-in-law is crazy, otherwise how can she ask in front of Da Mei, so she has to trust someone!

It's also thanks to Da Mei's cheerful personality, after hesitating, shy, and at a loss for what to do, she is still the big Mei who is very aggressive.

I saw that she raised her head, the blush on her face could still fade, and she nodded with a smile like a flower.

This is really generous, if you put aside the ordinary girl, you will be shy to run away.

"Ouch, that's great," Grandma Wang almost jumped up with joy, completely forgetting to ask her son's attitude, she only cared about what Da Mei meant.

Grandma Wang's excitement has not passed, and she can't even take care of the work in hand, "Da Mei agreed, then, then I'll go to your father to discuss it now, if he agrees, then we'll start to do it...... Uh, but Da Mei, do you know how much your father plans to ask for a bride price? ”

Speaking of proposing, Grandma Wang naturally thought of the bride price.

Since beating Muxiang to build a house, Wang Xi and Lin Changzhuan have successively contracted a few houses to build a house, and the money is a little earned, but if you want to say how much you earn, you don't have it.

Marrying a daughter-in-law is a big deal, and Grandma Wang has also planned it, so if it is not enough, she will borrow it.

Thinking of borrowing silver, she subconsciously looked up at Mu Xiang.

This girl is too good at business, and she has built a house at home, and has bought so many things, and she may have some silver on hand, and if she really wants to get there, I don't know if I can borrow a few from her.

Grandma Wang is thinking about a lot of things at the moment, and her brain is like a mess.

Da Mei was completely embarrassed, if she hadn't finished the work in her hand, she really wanted to leave without saying it, and she couldn't listen to it.

Wang Xi's expression was similar to hers, and he quietly glanced at Damei.

To be honest, Damei's appearance is really ordinary, and ordinary ones have no characteristics.

Even if Muxiang's little face is covered by the long Liuhai, it is much better looking than Damei. These two people stand together, one heaven and one underground.

Not to mention that Mu Xiang still has a clear spiritual aura on her body, which makes her whole person look radiant, like a layer of silver-white light.

But he understood better that Mu Xiang was too far away from him, like the moon in the sky, which he could see, but he couldn't reach it.

Da Mei is different, although it is not dazzling, but it is very real, he can touch it.

Although he is still unsure of his feelings for Damei, he thinks about it, if he has to live with Damei every day in the future, that kind of life does not seem to be bad.

It's good to be able to live with Harmony and Meimei.

The relationship between people, after a long period of tempering, love will eventually transform into family affection.

Grandma Wang is not confused, in fact, after she finished mentioning yì, she has been waiting for her son to be formed, for fear that he will stand up and oppose it.

Now seeing Wang Xi bowing his head and not saying a word, that is the acquiescence.

Da Mei also has a similar expression, it seems that there is a drama in this matter.

Grandma Wang was so happy, she originally wanted to leave Mu Xiang's house in advance, but thinking about it, it seemed that she was in too much of a hurry, so she endured it.

Halfway through, he pulled Mu Xiang aside to discuss with her to see what to do about it.

Where would Mu Xiang understand, she has never been married, nor has she helped others with marriages.

It's also that Grandma Wang is dizzy in a hurry, otherwise she would ask her.

The ingredients I bought this time were not filled until it was almost dark, and they were all made into sausages.

Lunch and dinner are all cooked at Muxiang's house.

Nowadays, there are many dishes at home, and you can cook a few decent dishes casually.

Steaming salted fish is naturally needless to say, salted fish mixed with chili sauce, scoop some rapeseed oil, and then sandwich a piece of pork, chives and green garlic, naturally is also essential, after mixing, put it in the rice pot and steam, that salty fragrance, absolutely under the rice.

The number of bean sprouts she soaked in the past two days has also increased, in addition to the ones that were sold to Chen Youfa, there were some bean sprouts that were not very good-looking, and they ate them at home.

Mu Xiang is very good at growing leeks, and it should be said that she has a good set of growing vegetables.

She follows different dishes and grows them in different ways, rather than serving every vegetable in the same way.

The leeks she grows, looking at the village, no one can compare.

The leeks in the countryside are all very old varieties, very thin and short, and they grow out, not like vegetables, but more like grass.

But the leeks of Muxiang's family are thick and tall, and the tender green leek leaves can be pinched out of the water with a slight pinch.

By the time the spring arrives next year, Muxiang is also going to rearrange the leek roots and expand a vegetable ridge.

These days, she has been taking the time to pick up some and manure to pad vegetable ridges, and her hard work has paid off.

After nearly two months of her elevation, her family's current vegetable garden will no longer accumulate water, and it is not too low, and the vegetables in it are growing well.

Today's dish includes leeks, fried with mung bean sprouts, crispy, tender, and particularly fragrant.

In addition to these two dishes, Mu Xiang also caught a few eggs and made egg custard.

The green radish in the vegetable garden can also be eaten, and at night, Mu Xiang burns all the pork skin that has been removed.

Although this pork skin is not as delicious as pork, it tastes quite delicious when it is roasted with radish.

Early the next morning, Mu Xiang and Caiyun carried sausages and hung them on the clothesline, so many sausages, hanging half a clothesline.

Caiyun looked at these round sausages and sighed: "These sausages are so beautiful and magical, they are wrapped in casings and will not leak out." ”

Mu Xiang fished out the newly bought cotton, thinking that it was time to play the quilt, and when she heard Caiyun's words, she laughed and said: "As long as you don't use a needle to poke it, it will definitely not leak, Caiyun, come and help me, this cotton will be dried for a day." ”

"Oh, here we are!"

In the morning, Mu Xiang had breakfast and went to Damei's house to borrow a donkey cart.

Mu Xiang has never driven a donkey cart, but everything has a first time, the donkey has a gentle temperament, she wants to try it once, in case it works, maybe she will buy a donkey herself next year, so that it is more convenient to enter the city.

So when Lin Changzhuan asked to accompany her, Mu Xiang refused.

Da Mei is not worried that she is driving alone, thinking about it, her old quilt is almost hardened into a wooden plank, and she has always wanted to carry it to renovate, but she didn't catch it.

I just caught up today, so I drove the cart with Mu Xiang, took cotton and old quilts, and went to Zuojiazhuang.

Mu Lang and Caiyun still stayed at home to watch the door, and she was relieved to leave so many sausages in the yard and one more person at home.

Of course, Heibao is also very important, its temper grows with the discipline, and it becomes more and more bad, people who don't know each other, as long as they step into the range of the wooden courtyard wall, Heibao will run up and scream.

With it, it's safer at home, too.

At this time, Mu Xiang still didn't forget the two secret guards left by Jì Heliansheng, and he didn't see them appear for two days, and he didn't know if he had left.

**

Zuojiazhuang is much larger than Yuhe Village, Mu Xiang and Damei drove the carriage, walked along the road, and entered Zuojiazhuang in less than half an hour.

Before entering the village, I felt that this village was different.

First of all, at the entrance of the village, you can see a place similar to an ancestral hall, and when you get closer, the plaque on it says that it is Si Xuetang.

There is also the sound of reading in it, it seems that this is the school of Zuojiazhuang.

Da Mei stretched out her head to look inside enviously, "It's really a good place, and the sound of reading is also good, alas, it would be nice if I could go in and take a look." ”

Not to mention that Da Mei has never studied, even Lin Changzhuan also doesn't know a word in Douda, and the family doesn't have that condition, and the adults don't have the general knowledge to send the child to study.

They think that with that money, it is better to weigh a few catties of meat and improve the food for their children!

Mu Xiang also stretched out his head to take a look, "Next year, I will let Mu Lang and Caiyun come to school, come in the morning, and go back in the evening, but the distance is a bit far, it would be nice if there was a school bus to pick them up." ”

"What is a school bus?" Da Mei couldn't understand what she was saying at all.

"It's nothing, I'll just say it," Mu Xiang didn't want to explain to her, she wanted to explain, but she couldn't explain it clearly.

"Da Mei, when you have a baby in the future, you must also call him to go to school, you can't save two money, don't let the baby go to school, don't look at the school is just to learn some words, read a poem or something, but when you really want to use it, you know how important it is to study."

Da Mei said: "Don't worry about this, I regretted that my brother didn't go to school before, if he went to school, he would definitely be able to do great things, and he didn't have to deal with crops in the field like now." ”

After thinking about it, she said again: "But I don't have a good sentence, don't be angry." ”

"I'm angry, you can just say whatever you want," Mu Xiang was swinging the whip steadily, and the little donkey was also walking leisurely, not fast or slow.

"Your Mu Lang is not very smart, and if you go to school, you may not be able to learn well, if you don't get into the kung fu exam, won't this study be in vain?" Da Mei is not underestimating Mu Lang, she is telling the truth, Mu Lang is indeed more than Mu Na of the same age, not as clever as the little baby of the same age.

Mu Xiang shook his head disapprovingly, "I let him go to school because I want him to read more books, know more about how to be a man, and it's always good to learn more knowledge, even if he can't get famous, it's nothing, it's not easy to be an official, I don't want him to be an official, as long as he marries a wife and has children peacefully, and has the ability to support a large family." ”

After a pause, Mu Xiang continued: "Compared to being an official, I hope he can do business in the future, if he doesn't do well as an official, his head will be dangerous, compared to the sinister officialdom, it is easier to do business, he doesn't have that ability, so do some small business, enough to make a living." ”

Da Mei didn't expect her to look at less fame and fortune so lightly, she thought that with Mu Xiang's temperament, she had to let Mu Lang be an official, and then make the official bigger and bigger, and shine on the lintel.

"You're right, let's be a little people, just ask for peace and security, let's live a good life, don't worry about eating, don't worrying about drinking, that's a blessing."

Although Damei has never experienced the flames of war, she has heard from the older generation.

During the war, all the men in the village were recruited by the government to serve as soldiers, and a few years later, there was not even a corpse, so they said that they were dead.

If you're lucky, you'll lose an arm, or a leg, and at least you'll be able to come back alive.

As long as there is a war, the price of food will also rise, and their lives will be even more difficult.

But which dynasty and which generation will not fight, and after a long period of peace, something must happen, otherwise those warmongers will be difficult to stop.

The two talked as they walked, and soon arrived at the cotton workshop.

Before I could go in, I heard the sound of cotton playing inside, like playing the strings, which was quite nice.

Da Mei jumped out of the car, ran in and shouted, "Old Uncle Wu? ”

Mu Xiang didn't go in, she drove the donkey to the gate of the workshop and tied it up.

The owner of the workshop heard someone call him, and when he came out, he was serving big plums.

The boss was an old man in his early sixties, and his hands, at first glance, looked like they had been playing cotton all his life, and they were rough and cracked.

The clothes on his body, because of his years of dealing with cotton, are covered with a layer of white wool. The fabric on the gray background is covered with a layer of white, and it looks like the white of the clothes and hair.

"Yo, it's the big plum from Yuhe Village here, come and sit here," the old man called Uncle Wu greeted them with a smile, and his face was full of wrinkles when he had gone through the years.

There were tools for playing cotton in his house, and there was really no place for them to sit. There were a few small stools at the gate, and an old table.

Da Mei pulled Mu Xiang over and introduced them to them, "Uncle Wu, I'm here to introduce you to business, my sister wants to play cotton for the family, you see, she bought so much cotton, all of them are to be cotton into quilts, I don't play cotton, I'm here to renovate me, those quilts in my house have been covered for too long, I want to turn them over for him." ”

Mu Xiang smiled and nodded at him, "Old Uncle Wu! ”

"Hicc, don't be polite, how do you want to play the quilt, just tell me, I'll take a look at this cotton first."

Lao Wu walked to the cart, pulled some cotton, put it in his hand and looked at it, and then shone into the sun, and then nodded, "This cotton is good, if you make a quilt, it will definitely be warm and soft." ”

"Then look at our quilt," Da Mei walked over and took out her quilt.

The old quilt was covered with a rag, and the rag was uncovered, revealing a somewhat black and yellowish quilt inside, which looked like it had been covered for several years.

Uncle Wu dragged the quilt over and tore the cotton wool from the middle, revealing the white lint inside, "Your quilt is also black on the outside, renovate it, and it will be almost like new, are you two waiting here, or wait until it is turned over, and then come over to get it?" ”

Da Mei didn't want to think about it: "We're waiting here, you play our quilt first, it's too troublesome to go back and forth for such a long way, do you have anyone at home to help?" With someone to help, it bounces up quickly, right? ”

Old Uncle Wu said: "Since you have to wait, then I will call the old woman and daughter-in-law out, and the three of us will definitely be able to play it for you before lunch." ”

Muxiang and they came out early, and there were still two hours to eat, so there should be enough time.

After the matter was discussed, Mu Xiang and Da Mei were idle, and Uncle Wu asked his wife to bring out some tea and give it to the two girls to sit and drink.

Then his daughter-in-law was also called out, it was a woman with a strong waist, short and short, and a round body, which looked as if it had not grown.

The appearance is also average, the facial features are not good, and the face is covered with freckles.

However, the person was very enthusiastic, and said a few words to Mu Xiang and them, which was nothing more than to tell them not to worry, sit slowly, and then help their father-in-law and mother-in-law work.

Her little baby, about three years old, is a female baby, and she came out of the backyard with her mother.

When the adults were working, she leaned on the threshold, with a pair of big black and white eyes, looking at Mu Xiang and them.

Da Mei was also bored when she was sitting, so she beckoned to her with a smile, "Niu'er, come over to my sister." ”

Mu Xiang turned her head and asked, "Her nickname is Niu'er?" ”

Da Mei shook her head, "No, their little girls here are all called Niu'er, and the male baby is called Mao Cub." ”

Da Mei called twice, and the little girl stood up timidly and walked over to them.

Mu Xiang guessed that this adult must be very busy on weekdays and has no time to take care of the baby, so this girl is so dirty, that little face, only the eyes are black and white, and other places are dirty.

Da Mei didn't dislike her dirty, when Niu'er was two steps away from her, she dragged Niu'er over, looked at her dirty little face, and said with a smile: "Ouch, Niu'er has grown so big, I came to their village last year, Niu'er just knew how to walk, and her braids didn't grow, she crawled on the ground all day long, and her body was called dirty." ”

Listening to the meaning of Damei's words, this girl is still quite clean now.

For this discovery, Mu Xiang shook her head with a strange expression.

She doesn't care what others think. But if she gets married in the future and has a baby, no matter how busy the adults are, they will never let the little baby be dirty like this.

Looking at the little girl's cat-like face, thinking that it was okay now anyway, Mu Xiang urged Da Mei to fetch some water and wash the baby's face.

Da Mei slapped her thigh, and Lang answered.

Put down Niu'er, sit on the bench she sat on, and went to the backyard of Uncle Wu's house to fetch water-
