Chapter 50: The Past

In the cold winter, most people have started cat winter, and Mu Chenghu and his party are no exception.

Since Mu Chenghu discovered soybeans, he thought about taking advantage of everyone's lack of things in winter to make soybeans into tofu skin and tofu milk so that they can be carried and eaten.

With the efforts of Mu Chenghu, Li Tiezhu and Carpenter Chen, the stone mill was finally completed.

Next, the catkins finally made tofu skin after wasting a small half bag of beans, and Mu Yao couldn't help but look at the tofu skin hanging in several rooms.

Mu Yao found Mu Chenghu, who was reading a book, and said to him, "Dad, I see that everyone has made a lot of tofu skin, can you let me give birth to some bean sprouts to eat." ”

"It's so cold this day, and the sprouts are raw? You still don't want to waste beans. Mu Chenghu felt that it was basically impossible to grow bean sprouts in such a cold day.

Mu Yao said with a mysterious face, "Dad, don't worry, I can definitely give birth to bean sprouts." ”

Mu Chenghu looked at his confident daughter, and said a little unbearably: "You go to find your grandmother, you want to go!" I've long since forgotten about soybeans. ”

Mu Yao felt that she was being tricked by her father, so she went to find the Han family without looking back.

When Mu Chenghu saw that Mu Yao was gone, he didn't delay any longer, and immediately turned around and flipped up the book he had just read.

After a while, Mu Chengru came over again.

"What's wrong today, how do you remember to read a book?" Mu Chengru looked at Mu Chenghu, who was reading carefully, and said.

"Am I not bored? Flip through the pages casually. Mu Chenghu raised his head and replied.

"Third child, I want to tell you about you, I want to go down the mountain these days." Mu Chengru said the purpose.

"What's wrong?" Mu Chenghu couldn't figure out why Mu Chengru wanted to go down the mountain at this time.

"I'm not thinking that the big guy will definitely leave here after the spring, I want to go down the mountain first and inquire about the place that can accommodate us now." Mu Chengru said the purpose of the trip.

"Yes, this place is too complicated. We don't fit here. Mu Chenghu thought about the bandits in the nearby mountains and the soil of Fulong Mountain, and also felt that it was inevitable to leave.

"The danger this time is very small, I want to take a few people with me, do you have any good recommendations." Mu Chengru asked.

Mu Chenghu thought for a while and said, "I, Ergou, and Uncle Thirteen will go with you, okay?" Uncle Wei, I have other things to hand over to him. ”

"No, you and Uncle Thirteen can only go to one, and one person has to be left here." Mu Chengru was afraid that no one would be able to call the shots when things happened on the mountain.

Mu Qingyuan walked in to get something, and just when he heard Mu Chengru's words, he asked, "You guys are going to go down the mountain." ”

Mu Chenghu saw Mu Qingyuan asking, so he told him about going down the mountain.

"It's simple, I'll go with you, and I can speak Chen Guohua too." Mu Qingyuan thought for a while and said.

When the two Mu Chenghu brothers saw that Mu Qingyuan had said this, they had to agree.

After Mu Qingyuan took his things and left, Mu Chengru immediately whispered, "After you go down the mountain, you have to look at the sixth uncle more." ”

Mu Chenghu frowned after hearing this, and said a little absent-mindedly, "Sixth Uncle is really not suitable to go, or let's think of a way." ”

"Third child, don't be stupid. You don't know the situation of the sixth uncle, it is not easy for him to take this step. Mu Chengru's words extinguished Mu Chenghu's refusal.

After Mu Chengru left, Mu Chenghu had no intention of reading anymore, so he opened the door and walked out.

Mu Chenghu walked and walked to the outside of the shed where Li Tie hammered the iron, and the sound of clanging iron made Mu Chenghu pause.

Mu Chenghu pushed the door and walked in, and his voice immediately stopped.

"Village Chief, why are you here?" Li Tiezhu's father, Li Fugui, made a series.

Mu Chenghu said a little angrily, "Uncle Li, how many times have I told you, why don't you listen!" ”

"Village chief, the etiquette must not be abolished, and besides, I was originally a subordinate of the Mu family." Li Fugui lowered his head and said.

"Uncle Li, you have long been free. How can it be that I am still a subordinate of my Mu family, and it is impossible for the Mu family to use a subordinate now. Mu Chenghu patiently explained again.

"It's an indisputable fact that the old lady of the Mu family saved my family." Li Fugui said.

"I don't think my grandma wants you to see yourself as a human being until now." Mu Chenghu had never heard of this past.

Li Fugui asked with some confusion: "Really?" ”

"Of course it is, for so many years, you have seen that the person in the village has treated you as a person, that is, you can't let go of yourself." Mu Chenghu said with great certainty.

"The village chief is right, no one has looked at us as people all these years!" Li Tiezhu whispered.

"Uncle Li, the reason why the hammer is so timid is probably because you have always regarded yourself as a person, and if the hammer continues like this, I am afraid that even a daughter-in-law will not be found." Mu Chenghu gave Li Fugui a dose of fierce medicine.

"Village chief, I'm not cowardly." Li Tiezhu shrunk his neck and whispered.

Li Fugui looked at Li Tiezhu, thought for a long time, and finally said, "Okay, in the future, I, Li Fugui, will not be anyone's subordinate." ”

Li Tiezhu showed a bright smile when he heard this, as if he had put down some shackles.

Mu Chenghu looked at Li Tiezhu's appearance, and thought that he had accidentally guessed correctly.

"Village Chief, is there anything wrong with coming here?" Li Fugui only came back to his senses at this time.

"It's nothing, I just passed by here and heard that you were still striking iron, so I came in to take a look, but why don't you take a break when it's so cold?" Mu Chenghu explained.

"Our father and son thought that we would be idle and idle, so we would come over and train these irons first, so that it would be more convenient to use them when we needed them." Li Fugui explained.

"Indeed, your father and son alone are a little too busy, so I will call two people to come and learn how to strike iron with you." Mu Chenghu thought about his plan.

Li Fugui said a little embarrassedly, "Village chief, it's not that our father and son don't want to teach, it's just that this iron striking can't be learned overnight, and it will take at least three years to learn." ”

This is obviously a little different from Mu Chenghu's idea, but Mu Chenghu still doesn't want to give up.

After half a sound, Mu Chenghu said, "I originally wanted to find two people for you to help, but it seems that this matter can only be done by your father and son." ”

"Village chief, is there any work for us to do?" Li Fugui reacted instantly.

"Originally, I was thinking of letting you do it again in the spring, but now it seems that it can't be done. So in a few days when I come back from the mountain, you can begin! Mu Chenghu had to change his original plan.

"Village chief, why wait a few days, you can just leave the work to us now." Li Tiezhu said with some excitement.

Mu Chenghu looked at Li Tiezhu's excited face, a little uncertain, so he said, "This matter is not in a hurry, I still have to prepare." ”

Hearing this, Li Tiezhu picked up the hammer and continued to strike the iron with some frustration.

When Mu Chenghu was about to leave, Li Fugui said, "Village chief, if there is anything in the future, you just have to say it, and our father and son will never shirk." ”

"Okay, you guys get busy first! I'll go back first. Mu Chenghu said helplessly.

In the evening, when packing up his things, Mu Chenghu told Liu Fu about Li Fugui's father and son.

After hearing this, Liu Fu frowned and said, "Uncle Li, don't be too anxious about this, it's really difficult to make him change all at once." ”

Mu Chenghu nodded and said that he should indeed give him some time to let him slowly change his concept.
