In the west of Wudong Mansion, there are a piece of low houses at the foot of Zishan Mountain, most of the people living here are poor, serious people go to the mountains to chop wood, hunt and beg for a living, and more are mixed in the streets and alleys.

The most dilapidated courtyard is the Mu family, the gray bamboo fence is horizontal, the weeds in the yard are green, the peach tree she planted next to the chicken pen eight years ago has grown to the thickness of a bowl, and the crown full of pink peach blossoms tightly covers the already empty chicken pen.

The three rooms were even more crumbling, except for the kitchen, which was still intact and the kitchenware she had before leaving, but it was full of dust.

A painful wail suddenly came from the gate of the courtyard: "Hey, hey, Lao Tzu must pluck his skin next time." ”

Hearing the movement, Mu Bangxiang hesitated for a long time, took the kitchen knife hanging on the wall and put it behind his back, slowly walked to the eaves, and saw the man in the yard, a little older, a lot dirty, unkempt beard, and the weeds in the yard, the upper body was bare, and the lower body was wearing a pair of torn pants.

"Girl......" The man limped and walked towards Mu Bangxiang, and his eyes turned red instantly, "Are you really back?" ”

In the past eight years, Mu Bangxiang has fantasized about countless ways to take revenge, and when it really comes, she can't do it after all.

Hey, if you think about it, Mu Sanwei is the only relative in her two lives!

Mu Bangxiang stared at his eyes tightly: "Mu Sanwei, do you regret selling me into Cuihuayuan?" ”

"Girl, my father is also well-intentioned, and Cuihuayuan is definitely a good place to practice cooking." Mu Sanwei's face was full of sincerity, and he didn't have the slightest remorse.

Forget it, you shouldn't expect anything from him.

It's not worth losing a life for someone like him, Mu Bangxiang threw away the kitchen knife with a "snap", and said coldly: "Mu Sanwei, put away your nonsense." ”

She pointed to the courtyard gate and shouted, "Get out, I don't want to see you again." ”

How can there be a reason in the world for a girl to drive her father out of the house, maybe she is ashamed, but Mu Sanwei didn't say anything.

He pointed to the boy not far away, about eight years old, with a round little face, white and clean, and although he was dressed in ordinary cloth clothes, he looked refreshing.

"Girl, this is what I picked up near the City God Temple, his name is Mu Bai." He hung his head, with a hint of pleading in his tone, "I can go anywhere, it's just that Mu Bai is too young, you see ......"

Mu Bai hid behind Mu Sanwei, with big watery eyes, like a pure little beast.

"Stay tonight, Ming'er will take it away." It was already a big concession for Mu Bangxiang to be able to do this, and she really didn't want to have anything to do with Mu Sanwei.

Mu Sanwei gently patted Mu Bai's shoulder, his eyes were gray, he glanced at Mu Bangxiang, slowly turned around, drooped his head, and limped out of the courtyard gate.

Eight years, this unscrupulous father seems to have aged a lot, Mu Bangxiang didn't stop him after all, she couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart.

"Sister, I'm hungry." Mubai's eyes are very beautiful, round, smart, and cute, and they are particularly attractive when they look at it.

Mu Bangxiang couldn't bear to refuse this white brother, she asked Mu Bai to stay at home, and she went to the market to buy some things she needed on weekdays, planning to settle down in the Mu family's courtyard temporarily.

When he came back, Mu Bai was cleaning the kitchen with a broom, kicking up a burst of dust and choking him to sneeze.

Mu Bangxiang hurriedly put down his things, filled the gourd with water, and splashed it in the house, which made him feel better.

"What do you do?"

Mu Bai wiped his face indiscriminately and looked at her timidly: "Sister, I think you will cook later, so I plan to clean up the kitchen, but ......"

His eyes were red, his mouth was pouted, and he looked pitiful.

Mu Bangxiang really couldn't kill this little cutie, led him to the noodle rack, brought a basin of clean water, washed his face carefully, and then began to get busy.

After the kitchen was cleaned up, she began to cook the rice, cleaned up the pig's feet, removed the blood, and put the seasoning in a small pot to simmer.

The little thing sat in the corner, without saying a word, and looked very well-behaved.

Mu Bangxiang didn't understand how Mu Sanwei could teach such a well-behaved child, she asked out loud: "Is Mu Sanwei usually good to you?" ”

Mu Bai replied in a milky voice: "Daddy is very good to me, takes me around to play, and buys me a lot of delicious food." ”

Just him? She didn't believe that Mu Sanwei, a person who was addicted to gambling, would change her temperament, she thought about it and asked, "Can you be enlightened?" ”

Mu Bai shook his head, sure enough, Mu Wanxiang had long expected that Mu Sanwei would not send him to the school, and heard him say: "But I know a lot of words when I play on the street, and everyone says that I am smart, and the blind man of Sanfulou still asks me to be his apprentice!" ”

It seems that he is a good seedling, Mu Bangxiang moved his mind, and wanted to raise Mu Bai well, so that he would have a way out in the future.

However, Mu Bangxiang is also selfish, and Mu Bai will be an official in the future, so he can also take more care of her.

"Do you want to follow me?"

Mu Bai was in trouble, he pursed his mouth tightly and did not speak.

At a young age, I didn't expect to be so righteous, Mu Bangxiang made up his mind to let him stay, and the future will be long, and there is a way.

The yellow and clear rice, the bright red pig's trotters, and the green vegetables and shiitake mushrooms made Mu Bai's eyes widen.

Mu Bangxiang was very satisfied with his stunnedness, if he liked it, it was also a good way to leave him with food.

"Taste it."

Mu Bai sandwiched a piece of pig's feet, gnawed it slowly, and gnawed the pig skin and pork little by little, which looked elegant, and there was a sense of luxury exuding from the bones.

Mu Bangxiang became more and more fond of this child, and asked with a smile, "Is it delicious?" ”

Mu Bai said "um" softly, without too much praise, but he sandwiched another piece, which may be the best proof of deliciousness.

After eating, Mu Bangxiang simply cleaned up the house she lived in before, and she led Mu Bai to pull weeds.

While pulling weeds, Mu Bangxiang asked Mu Bai how he had lived with Mu Sanwei all these years.

When Mu Sanwei picked up Mu Bai, he was just two years old, and he mainly grew up with the help of the villagers.

As she spoke, the child began to be sleepy, her eyelids kept drooping, Mu Bangxiang hurriedly let him into the house to rest, and she continued to pull the weeds alone.

Although it was only temporary, Mu Bangxiang still wanted to clean up, and it was not until it was dark that the weeds in the yard were pulled out.

Tired Mu Bangxiang's back hurts, and she lies in bed until dawn.

The next day, she got up early, steamed egg custard, mixed okra, and ate the rest of the rice from yesterday.

Mu Bangxiang planned to go out to inquire about which business was easy to do, first set up a stall to sell breakfast, and then opened a restaurant after saving the money.

She repeatedly told Mu Bai to stay at home well, and then went out.
