Mu Guizhou is five years younger than Old Man Mu and is the first son of his father's successor Zhang.

Luozhi's great-grandfather, Mu Hu, married two daughters-in-law, Dong and Zhang, and raised three sons and two daughters.

Among the five children, Luozhi's grandfather, Mu Guihe, and her aunt Liu Mu's Mu Guihua, are her grandfather, Mu Hu's eldest son and eldest daughter, all of whom were born by the original Dong family. The second son Mu Guizhou, the youngest son Mu Guihai, and the youngest daughter Qian Mu's Mu Taohua are all from the Zhang family.

This world has a great deal of importance for its offspring. This Zhang family not only had the merit of educating the Mu family, but also helped raise a son and a daughter left by the short-lived original Dong family, and married them male and female, so he was highly valued by Mu Hu during his lifetime: when he was alive, he not only held the key to the family's cash cabinet, but also managed the family's food and clothing and the women's work.

In an agrarian society where men plough and women weave, textiles are an important source of income for farmers. This Zhang is quite scheming.

One of them is for Mu Guizhou, Mu Guihai is looking for a daughter-in-law who has brothers in the village and can spin and weave, and only for the old man Mu to find a girl in the mountains and hoohs, Wang. Because they can weave and increase their income for the family, as soon as Tan and Liu entered the door, they all overtook the eldest daughter-in-law Wang who was in the first door, and Wang couldn't weave, so they could only do dirty work at home such as cooking pig food, sweeping pigsty, raising chickens, and planting vegetables, while they only took turns weaving, cooking, and giving birth to children.

The second is to have children.

Yes, have children. The second daughter-in-law Tan and the eldest daughter-in-law Wang entered the door in the same year, that is, Tan gave birth to Mu Shi'an, the eldest grandson of the Mu family's third room, and the eldest granddaughter Mu Xiuying, and then made persistent efforts to give birth to the second son Mu Shifang, and the third son Mu Shiji – she completely and completely crushed the sister-in-law Mu Wang, who entered the door with the absolute advantage of three sons and one daughter, and Mu Wang, the eldest sister-in-law who did not even lay eggs.

The third daughter-in-law, Mu Liushi, also won the door in one fell swoop, and then gave birth to a daughter soon after, making up a good word.

There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great. The pressure of the childless man pressed like a mountain on the top of Luozhi's grandpa and grandma's head, almost crushing them into dust.

No matter how virtuous Zhang's face was before, she has always ignored the fact that her stepson Mu Gui and her son Mu Guizhou are five years older, and forced the two to get married in the same year, so she knew that this cheap grandmother was not a fuel-efficient lamp.

In this clan society, as the eldest son, Mr. Mu was born with the right to inherit seventy percent of the family industry, which can be called how the Zhang family, which has always been strong, is willing to give his two biological sons only thirty percent of the family fortune in the future.

As a result, the Zhang family made a big fuss about Old Man Mu's marriage. First of all, in the selection of daughter-in-law, she chose for Old Man Mu to be the Wang family, who had no land in the mountains and no mother's teaching, but what she told Mu Guizhou was the Tan family, who had a mother and a brother in the same village.

Secondly, Zhang let the two daughters-in-law enter the door with their front and back feet, and used the village's discussion of the difference in their dowries to cut Wang's face, so that she could not raise her head in front of Tan.

Then Zhang's deliberately let Tan's cooking and weaving skills show off his cooking skills through the family, which made Wang's inferiority complex, and since then he has given in to his mother-in-law and concubine everywhere, and swallowed his anger to take over all the heavy work such as grass and pigs, vegetable planting and chickens.

Zi said: "Punishment without teaching is abuse." Zhang's abuse of Wang's family is not only mental but also physical, and how can she give birth to children.

Zhang's so painstakingly calculated, the so-called is just a "eldest grandson Tian".

The so-called eldest grandson Tian means that when the family is divided, the eldest grandson can participate in the division with the share of the grandfather's youngest son. This is specific to the appearance of the Mu family: if the eldest grandson is in the big house, then when the family is divided, the big house can get eighty percent, and the second and third rooms each get one percent; Now the eldest grandson is in the second room, so when the family is divided, the big house gets seventy percent, the second room gets two percent, and the third room is still one percent.

Therefore, the Zhang family planned to work for more than ten years, step by step, just to get an extra share of the family property. Later, he took advantage of Wang's nothingness to take advantage of the Mu family's third-room sister-in-law, Mu Guihe, to divide the family into a family property and drive it to the residence on the edge of the village, and the conspiracy finally succeeded.

What is celebrated is that in the second year of Master Mu's separation, even if he got a son, Mu Shijie; Sadly, the blood of Mu Wang, who took the child for the rest of his life, was immediately scattered, leaving an orphaned muleman.

The old man encountered all kinds of injustices, including Daddy Mu Biao who was in Lizheng at the time, Daddy Mu Hong of the patriarch, and his own father Mu Hu, who did not do their duty to uphold justice for him, which made the old man extremely cold, and he was very disappointed with the clan and family affection.

Waiting for the old man to pull out his eldest son with hard work, he didn't think that the only parent and son would suffer again, so far, the old man accepted his fate, ignored the clansmen, and cut off contact with the brothers in the same village, so that Luozhi came over for more than half a month, and he had never seen Grandpa's brothers and sisters.

Mu Guizhou should be a bunch of good bamboo shoots in Zhang's life, so he occasionally helps the old man and complains for the old man, but Zhang's filial piety is greater than the sky for one day in the world, he doesn't dare to disobey Zhang's too much, even if he has the heart, he can't do more.

When the two uncles and nephews were squatting and chatting, the sons and nephews who were working in the field saw the movement here, and one hid farther than the other. Muhon's temper was not ordinary. There was not a single nephew or grandchild present who had not been beaten by him.

Therefore, if he is finished, and the twelve of them have not even finished this land, they will wait to eat and hang up. No one is good.

Twelve strong laborers, twelve sickles, in the blink of an eye, the grass was cut. The cut grass is piled in one place and dried in the sun, and then it can be used as firewood for pots.

After the grass was tied, the twelve men changed the twelve nail rakes, and in a short time they were also turned over.

The roots of the grass are picked out from the field and piled on the haystack, and when they are dried, they can also be burned.

Finally, take the nail rake and wave it back and forth twice, and the land will be ready.

Turning his head to look at the two elders, he saw that he was still talking, so no one dared to go first, even if the work he said earlier was done. Hehe, the second grandfather, who dares to say that the work is done, there is no work to do

After wordlessly glancing at each other, the twelve men consciously divided into three teams: four to dig a thatched pit, and four to repair the steps down the river beach – although the river water is not drinkable, it is still possible to water vegetables and wash a dung bucket in spring and summer. Four went to build a shed.

Finally, the two elders finished speaking, stood up, and asked everyone to go to dinner.

Luozhi was also busy to take off, cooking two tables of meals by herself, and had to take the time to answer the question of transplanting the dendrobium cuttings of the clansmen. Even so, she still made eight big bowls: braised pork ribs, tamales, stir-fried pork belly, braised duck, stir-fried small intestines, stir-fried pork with kimchi, stir-fried pork lungs, and stir-fried sweet potato leaves with oil residue.

In addition to water spinach, eggplant loofah and cucumber in the vegetable garden have long been torn vines. Thinking of building a house and planning a vegetable plot, I didn't replant winter vegetables. Mules have been added to the house, and water spinach is used as its food every day, and it has been cut very much in the past few days, and it has not yet been sent out.

As a result, vegetables are the most scarce in the family. Luozhi stood in the vegetable field and hesitated for a moment before she started to pinch the tip of the sweet potato leaf, no wonder she hesitated, this sweet potato vine has only one role in Mujia Village: feeding the pigs. However, thinking of the delicacy of this sweet potato vine in her previous life, she still decisively pinched the tender tip and fried it.

Luo Zhi heard a commotion and came this way, knowing that it was the clan who helped and came to the shed for lunch. She wiped her hands and began to set the table.

After washing hands and washing faces, two tables were opened, and after everyone sat down one by one, they were all attracted by the dishes on the table. It has only been three or two days since the people of Mujia Village got rich, and most of them were still busy harvesting and planting dendrobium, and improving food had not yet been put on the agenda, so everyone suddenly saw such a rich meal, and they were all frightened for a while.

"Everyone eats openly, Luojing, and serves wine." Old Man Mu roared, Luojing mentioned the wine jar, Old Man Mu introduced one, and he filled it with wine after shouting "Uncle XX/Brother", and Old Man Mu also took the opportunity to let him integrate into the brothers.

Now everyone knows that this original wild man in the forest is also his own clan/brother/nephew, and is the eldest grandson of Guihe's uncle. Hearing Luojing's greetings, they all responded one by one.

After Mu Hongti, who was sitting in the main seat, picked up the dishes, these twelve, no, as well as Luojing and Luo'an, and the fourteen heroes began their own worldly taste.

For a while, I only heard the sound of swallowing, but did not hear human speech.

"The dishes with thick soup and heavy flavor are delicious", after eating half full, everyone slowed down, and finally someone was willing to speak.

Mu Yejun tried to put a chopstick green vegetable into his mouth, and a satisfied smile overflowed. He praised without hesitation: "Luozhi's niece's dishes, fried really fragrant."

"It's really delicious," Mu Yinglong also praised: "It's just what kind of dish is this?"

"Looks like I've never eaten it before."

Old Man Mu looked at the dishes on the chopsticks, and he felt familiar, but he couldn't remember them.

"Yes," said Muhon, too, "what kind of dish is this?"

Luo Zhi cleared his throat and replied, "Sweet potato vine." ”

Sweet potato vine, a group of men looked at each other, isn't this feeding pigs

"We only have sweet potatoes in our field, so I fried sweet potato vines."

It sounds reasonable, but it still feels like something is wrong.

Luo Zhi looked at the expressions of her cousins and cousins, and said innocently, "Isn't it delicious?"

"But just now, Uncle Ye Jun and Uncle Ying Long still said that it was delicious."

"It's delicious. Tender/refreshing" Mu Yejun said honestly: "I just didn't expect it to be a sweet potato vine."

"What's wrong with the sweet potato vine" Luo Zhi looked at Mu Yejun with a strange expression: "Uncle Yejun, don't you eat sweet potatoes?"

"Eat," Mu Yejun thought after answering, since he eats sweet potatoes, it seems that Luozhi fried sweet potato vines are also right

No longer entangled, Mu Yejun continued to eat.

Mu Yinglong raised his eyes to look at Luozhi, and felt that this little niece was interesting--he really had never seen such a cunning little girl, she was only ten years old, and she knew that you would be invited into the urn with your spear and your shield.

Don't blame Daddy for telling him several times that this little niece is good, Mu Yinglong thought.

Smiling slightly, Mu Yinglong stretched out his chopsticks again.

Since the two nephews didn't care about it, and they ate it with relish, Mu Hong, who was the highest-ranking person, naturally had no opinion - but it was just a fried sweet potato vine, and in the year of the flood, he and his brothers ate Guanyin soil directly.

When the brothers saw that they were eating so deliciously, they stretched out their chopsticks one by one to pick them up, for fear that they would be gone later.

There was not a single thing left in the two large pots of fried sweet potato vines with oil residue -- a little soup at the bottom of the pot was poured into the bowl for Mu Yejun to soak in rice.

After eating, these heroes went back to their respective homes to find their own mothers, well, those who have daughters-in-law are looking for their daughters-in-law. The curious person asked what he ate at Luozhi's house? The men with an evocative look on their faces replied: sweet potato vines.

Daughter-in-law......

Mother-in-law......
