Wild eggs without salt have a fishy smell and a stronger aroma when they have been roasted, and for children who rarely have snacks, baked eggs are all a precious thing.

Several children are very filial and friendly, after the eggs are baked, Guo Guo Xiaoshan only took one of the two big ones to try it, and gave it to his younger brother mm two each, and then sent the remaining eight to the hands of Mu's grandmother, so that the adults in the family can also taste the sweetness they built.

The children thought very attentively, and even the uncle who was studying in the town and didn't know when he would come back was assigned one. At this time, it is winter, and hard-boiled eggs will not go bad if they are left for a few days, but they are not as good as when they are hot.

The children have this filial piety, and the adults naturally can't bear to refuse, so they peel off the eggshell in front of the children and eat it happily. The fragrant smell of baked eggs made them feel that it was more delicious than the eggs steamed in sesame oil at home, and praised the children the most.

……

As the wax moon approached step by step, after experiencing two heavy snowfalls buried in the feet and necks, the Guo family's thirty acres of wasteland were blocked, and there was not a single weed in it.

It is winter now, and the grass roots hidden in the soil cannot sprout, and in the spring of the next year, we have to plough again, otherwise after a spring rain, the ground will be covered with weeds again.

After settling the remuneration to the villagers, Guo Mianmian touched a lot of purses, and sighed that the silver was actually too useless, so he built a workshop and turned the wasteland into land, and the silver he got from the Fang family before was less than one-half.

Don't look at another one hundred and fifty taels, after the spring of the coming year, there will be more places to spend silver. In addition to spending a sum of money to buy flower seeds, rent cattle, plough the land, raise seedlings, and plant seedlings, they also need to ask for help, which is a large payment.

, Ask people to go into the mountains to collect flowers also need to spend silver, to just one festival to the amount of a year, not to mention 20,000 catties of flowers, even if a catty of flowers for two dollars, it also requires forty taels of silver, which is not a small amount.

Seeing Guo Mianmian holding a branch and drawing on the ground like a ghost, Mu knew that she was settling accounts, and he was already surprised: "Mianmian, don't forget it, this silver still has to be spent, or think about it in a few days, Ah Rin will come back, what do you want to say and let him divide his two brothers." ”

Guo Mianmian threw away the branches, patted off the soil on his hands and said, "Just say it bluntly like that, I don't have the body to think about it." ”

It's better to go straight to this kind of thing, and it's not stupid to manipulate the man, and once she says that she separates first and then proposes marriage, he should know why this is so. Hiding it will make people think too much, thinking that they don't trust him to handle household chores. Mu Shi didn't think so, and persuaded patiently: "It's better to speak slowly, don't let him think that you are a restless person who likes to stir up trouble, otherwise he can endure you at this time, and if there is a little bit of disgrace in the future, he may turn this matter over." ”

Guo Mianmian didn't think that this "maybe" would happen to her, and she didn't want her mother to worry, so she said: "Okay, okay, I want to say resignation and don't let what you worry about happen." ”

When Mu Shi heard this, he felt that he was embarrassing his daughter, so he thought about it and said: "Otherwise, I will do it, my mother-in-law will not move to reason for my son-in-law, so that Ah Rin will know that you are hurt, and save him from bullying you one day." ”

Guo Mianmian smiled "poof", and was about to say that he was about to say something, when he occasionally saw a magnificent figure at the gate of the courtyard out of the corner of his eye.

After she looked at it and confirmed that she was not dizzy, she subconsciously ran towards the visitor, and her eyes suddenly burst into a look that she hadn't even noticed: "Why did you come back so soon?" ”

Isn't this going a little fast? There's a feeling that Rinko just left and ran back!

"Come on, come on, the noodles are ready, eat them while they're hot!"

In the hall, Mu Shi brought a bowl of hand-rolled noodles that had just come out of the pot to the dining table, and greeted Zheng Rin warmly.

"Thank you, auntie." Zheng Rin was not polite, and stood up and sat at the dinner table. Smelling the smell of meaty noodles coming out of the bowl, he only felt more hungry before he had eaten lunch.

Regardless of the hot in the bowl, Zheng Rin picked up the chopsticks and picked up two noodles while blowing and eating them slowly. When I ate the hot noodles, I warmed my stomach and my body gradually became hot.

"Eat slowly, there's a lot more in the pot." Seeing Zheng Rin's fragrant eating, Mu Shi was a little complacent, and a little distressed: "Look at your thin child, this month has been very bitter, right?" ”

Guo Mianmian, who was sitting in front of him and watching Zheng Rin eat noodles, heard this, and his eyes were up and down, and he noticed that the person was a little duller than when he left, and there was no sign of emaciation, so he couldn't help asking: "Mother, where did you see that he was thin?" Why didn't I see it? ”

Mu Shi choked, couldn't tell where Zheng Rin lost weight, glared at the mischievous daughter and said: "Ah Rin is in the wind and rain, even if you can't see where you have lost weight, it will definitely not be any better, you think he is going out to play." ”

"Okay, okay, what you always said is right, who made you my mother." Guo Mianmian immediately disarmed and obeyed, and while obeying his mother's logic, he did not argue with the opportunity.

Mu pretended to be angry and patted Guo Mianmian, and said angrily: "You girl, you will raise the bar with your mother, and you are not afraid that Ah Rin will see the joke." ”

Guo Mianmian subconsciously looked at the face, and met the man's doting eyes, his face was slightly hot, and he casually despised himself for living for thirty years in his two lives combined, and he was still like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old little lady who had just fallen in love.

Zheng Rin didn't know what Guo Mianmian was thinking, thinking that she was just innocent and ashamed, so she looked away and said to Mu: "This trip to go out has food, clothing, housing and transportation, and it is not bitter for Ah Rin to go out every day." ”

It is true that he goes out day by day with a purpose, and almost asks for information in it all day long, and once he has a new notice, he immediately overrides it, and often he doesn't even have enough to eat.

For people who have been on the battlefield and often don't sleep for days and nights, this bit of suffering is completely unreasonable.

"Rin, you often run in it, aren't you the foot trader people say?" The Mu family had already regarded Zheng Rin as half a son-in-law, and after listening to Zheng Rin's words at this time, he couldn't help but ask the question he wanted to ask.

The so-called foot trader is a businessman who runs from south to north, usually transporting things that are abundant in a certain place to a place where there is no place to sell, commonly known as reselling.

If you are unfortunate enough to meet robbers and pickpockets on the road, it is a trivial matter to lose your wealth, and you are afraid that you will not even have your life when you encounter exiles.

In addition, some places are the darkest, and maybe the goods in their hands have not been sold, so they are exploited layer by layer, and only in the end do they realize that they have done the business of etching books.

"Sort of!" Zheng Rin thought about it and gave a constant mystery: "Ah Rin has a friend who does a restocking business, and every time he helps him deliver the goods to the designated place, if it is convenient for Ah Rin to bring a few goods over and sell them." ”

In fact, whether it is reloading or escorting goods, it is just a way to hide your identity. This is also the main method of his mouth, and it is impossible to starve himself to death before the mission is achieved.

Mu had never traveled far away, but he had heard of the hardships from elsewhere. She was not optimistic about Zheng Rin's food, and she didn't want her daughter to marry him, so she was afraid of staying alone in the empty house every day, so she asked euphemistically: "It's very hard to run inside, and Ah Rin doesn't want to change to a consolidated business?" ”

When the Mu family was rolling noodles and cooking noodles, Guo Mianmian reported that Zheng Rin had already known about the matter between them. Hearing Mu's question at this time, Zheng Rin guessed her concerns, so he replied solemnly: "It will be like this in the past two years, when I have saved enough money, I hope to buy the land and rent it to others and then collect the rent, and then put two shops in the town or the county, and I will not go out in the future." ”

Seeing that Zheng Rin had really made a decision, this growth alone made Mu Shi feel good, and persuaded from the bottom of his heart: "Silver can't be earned, just eat and dress warmly, safety is the most important thing." ”

Hearing that this sorrow was really sorrowful, Zheng Rin's heart became warmer, and her face became more gentle: "Thank you aunt for your concern, I will be more careful in the future." ”

"Well, it's good that you know what you know."

Mu knew that Zheng Rin would not change his previous hopes for the time being, so he didn't want to talk about his body more. It's been two years since this kid came back from the army, and I haven't seen anything happen to him, so people with courage have the ability to rely on it.

Xu was too hungry, and maybe the hand-rolled noodles made by Mu were too delicious, Zheng Rin ate two sea bowls in one go, and directly ate the small half pot of noodles clean.

Waiting for Zheng Rin to drink the last mouthful of noodle soup, Guo Mianmian stood up and was about to pick up his dishes and chopsticks, but was stopped by Mu: "Mother, go wash it, you sit down and talk to Ah Rin." ”

After speaking, he said to Zheng Rin with a smile: "If Ah Rin is not in a hurry to come back, stay at home for dinner, your Uncle Guo and Lao Mai will start chatting after you leave, and they will be very happy to see you when they come back." ”

Two days ago, Guo Lin went to the town to find two well diggers to dig wells for the workshop. The father and son of the Guo family couldn't sit still at home, and ran to the workshop after eating every day, and went again at this time, but they were afraid that they were transporting soil for the people digging wells again.

"Auntie, I'm not in a hurry, I'll go to the workshop to take a look after a while." Zheng Rin replied with a smile, he still wanted to brush up his good feelings in front of his father-in-law and brother-in-law in the future!

This time, as soon as he came back, he went directly to Guo's house, and he didn't even return home. Second, he stayed at Guo's house more calmly than in his own home, and he also wanted to stay longer.

With Zheng Rin's permission, Mu Shi walked out happily with the dishes and chopsticks, stepped out of the threshold with one foot, and turned his head to secretly glance at Guo Mianmian.

Knowing that her mother was prompting her to talk to Zheng Rin about the Zheng family, Guo Mianmian, who was so confident, suddenly didn't know how to speak.

Zheng Rin saw that Guo Mianmian had something to say, and seeing that there was no one else in the hall, he slowly walked over and secretly held her hand, and his low voice revealed the deep affection that was entwined: "After I left, something happened to teach you to be embarrassed?" ”

Guo Mianmian seized the opportunity and followed his words and said: "There is something that makes me very embarrassed, and this matter has the most to do with you, so I don't know how to tell you." ”
