Chapter 19: Eat and Drink

When eating, Mu Xiang not only had to eat by herself, but also had to tell Mu Lang and Caiyun all the time, because they ate too fast, I was really afraid that they would choke.

Mu Lang ate the fastest, a bun, three bites of belly, and ate another bowl of braised pork, Mu Xiang was anxious, and ordered him not to eat anymore. It's not that she feels sorry for food, it's that they haven't eaten meat for a long time, and they eat too much at once, and their stomachs can't stand it.

Caiyun had a smaller appetite, ate three steamed buns, put down a bowl of braised pork, wiped the oil on his mouth, rubbed his stomach unsatisfied, and shouted to death.

Mu Xiang smiled: "Don't be in a hurry to drink water later, you can't eat it anymore, the rest, let's eat it tomorrow at noon, it's not easy to spoil when it's cooked, tomorrow morning, make gnocchi, but I really can't eat it today!" ”

Caiyun understood what she meant, but began to worry, "Sister, are we eating too fast, or I don't know if we still burn corn paste in the morning, and the flour should be eaten sparingly, otherwise it will be gone after eating." ”

Mu Lang was wiping the remaining soup on the bowl with a bun, and when he heard the words of the second sister, he nodded vigorously, wrapped something in his mouth, and said vaguely: "Save, eat tomorrow, eat the day after tomorrow, eat the day after tomorrow, eat the day after tomorrow!" ”

Mu Xiang was not going to tell them about earning fifty taels of silver, Mu Lang was simple, and Caiyun was still young, so let them know, but it was a burden, and it was better not to know. So she just smiled and didn't say anything more, so let's take our time! Fat people don't eat in one bite, they always have to go down step by step.

After eating, Caiyun rushed to light the fire, Mu Xiang took a simple bath, ran all the way, got out of a stinky sweat, finished the bath, hid the silver back in the wall, retracted into the clean bedding, took a deep breath, the muscles on his body were stretched, and he didn't want to move when he lay down.

My stomach is full, and I sleep very heavily. But it sounds so quiet outside, she should have a dog. It is very important to raise a dog in the countryside, you can watch the house, and you can prevent theft at night, and so on tomorrow, she will ask Jin Ju to see which family has a puppy, and ask for it to be raised in the yard.

Mu Xiang was still thinking about tomorrow in her mind, thinking about it, when sleepiness hit, she soon fell asleep.

When Caiyun came in with Mu Lang after washing, she saw that she had fallen asleep evenly, Caiyun stepped forward lightly to cover the quilt for her, turned around and signaled Mu Lang to move quietly, don't wake up the eldest sister.

Mu Lang kicked off his shoes, climbed onto the kang, knelt in front of Mu Xiang, and looked at her seriously for a while.

In the early autumn nights, mosquitoes occasionally come out to beg for blood. Mu Xiang was so tired that even if he was bitten, he didn't want to move.

Mu Lang leaned in and helped her catch mosquitoes by the moonlight, but unfortunately the light in the house was too dim, and he couldn't beat it even if he wanted to, until Caiyun came to urge him to sleep, he dragged the quilt and lay down next to Mu Xiang, reached out and grabbed Mu Xiang's hand, and felt that the eldest sister was beside him, so he slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.

I had no dreams all night, and my stomach was full, and I slept very soundly.

On the second day, the sky was a little gloomy, Mu Xiang looked at the sky, praying that it would not rain in the past two days, the piece of land that Li Dashan gave her had not been turned over yet, so she had to turn it out quickly, and then sprinkle vegetable seeds before it could rain!

After breakfast, she was going to find Wang Xi, he could plow the fields, and he also had cattle at home, Mu Xiang wanted to discuss with him to see if he could help turn the ground out.

Mu Lang was originally squatting on the ground playing with ants, seeing that she seemed to be going out, he quickly ran up and grabbed Mu Xiang's hand, "Sister, can I go out with you?" ”

Mu Xiang saw the eagerness in his eyes, so he nodded, "Okay, but Mu Lang has to promise me that he can't run around, you know?" Because Mu Lang is different from other little babies, Caiyun and Mu Xiang before are reluctant to let him go out. Mu Lang has a simple temperament, if he is abducted, he will suffer.

The little baby in the village often laughed at him and pointed fingers at him. Caiyun can't help it, she doesn't want her brother to be bullied.

This will Caiyun saw that the eldest sister was going to take Mu Lang out, and looked at Mu Lang with some worry.

Mu Xiang smiled and said to her: "He always has to grow up, he always has to go outside, we can't lock him up for the rest of his life, it's better to let him face it himself, he has fallen a lot, so that he can go on better and more steadily, don't you say?" ”

Caiyun nodded darkly. Mu Lang listened for a while before he understood the conversation between the two, and when he knew that he could go out, he clapped his hands happily and cheered, pulling Mu Xiang to drag her outside.

Mu Xiang stopped him, "Wait a minute, I'll go get something," said okay, I want to return the needlework to Grandma Wang, she bought a lot yesterday, and she can bring it to Grandma Wang. Last night they ate almost all the steamed buns, and the pork belly was all stir-fried, leaving some hot at noon.

Mu Xiang originally planned to bring the mushroom roast pork to Grandma Wang, but after thinking about it, Mu Lang had been looking forward to eating at noon since the morning, and she really couldn't bear to disappoint him.

Looking around, Mu Xiang could only scoop some lard, and she came back too late yesterday, and she was tired after eating, so she asked Caiyun to cut the lard into large cubes, salted it, and stacked it in the jar.

This is the method she learned in the farmhouse in her previous life, using salted lard and putting some of the vegetables in the oil pan when stir-frying, which is the most fragrant.

Mu Xiang took a big plate and put lard on it, pulled Mu Lang, and went to Grandma Wang's house. This time, I didn't take a shortcut, I took Mu Lang with me, and I was holding things, and it was not safe to walk on the ridge.

Passing by the door of the big house, Mu Lang turned his head to look in the direction of the courtyard door. I saw Chen Mei'e holding her son Yuanbao and sitting in the yard feeding. If the ingots don't eat, Chen Mei'e coaxes them one by one.

Mu Lang's little face slowly fell, holding Mu Xiang's hand, and subconsciously clenched.

Mu Xiang took his shoulder lovingly, "You have the eldest sister and the second sister who love you, no worse than ingots, and when you earn money next year, the eldest sister will send you to study, Mu Lang will study hard in the future, and when he grows up, he will be famous, and Mu Lang will be able to enjoy happiness with you, you know?" ”

Mu Lang nodded ignorantly, "Well, I will definitely study hard in the future, I want to take the exam as an official who is bigger than the Jinshi!" ”

Mu Xiang was stunned, and then he was moved, although Mu Lang didn't talk much on weekdays, he understood it in his heart. He must also know about Zhao Xiuwen, so he wants to take the exam as an official who is bigger than Jinshi.

"Let's not compare ourselves to others, as long as we live well, that's enough," Mu Xiang taught him softly. People's lives are very short, and there is no need to push yourself too hard for an irrelevant person, which is not worth it. She would rather Mu Lang be happy and happy every day, rather than that he would be too tired.

The two walked while talking, and there were a few little babies playing together on the side of the road, watching Mu Lang pass by, covering their mouths and snickering.
