After splitting the family, the second master of the Mu family followed the people of the big house to live in the town, and the courtyard was deserted all of a sudden, but at noon, when Mu Yunxue was about to go into the kitchen to boil some hot water, he was driven out by the Liu family.

"Yun Xue, since we are all separated, the deed of separation is written in black and white, except for the dilapidated thatched hut in this courtyard, the rest of the place is not yours, I let you go in and out of the yard is already merciful, if you are not lifted into the kitchen, be careful that my broom is merciless." Liu Shi held a broom in one hand and said sharply with the other hand in his waist, and the loud voice could be heard in the entire Mu family's courtyard.

Mu Yunxue saw that Liu didn't bother to argue with Liu anymore, so she held the kettle and decided to go to Sister Xiaoyu to ask for some hot water.

As usual, Mu Yunxue knocked on the door, and the door quickly opened from the inside.

"Hello Fourth Aunt!" It was Xu who opened the door, and Mu Yunxue also greeted politely and politely.

"It's Yunxue, come in!" Xu Shi saw that it was Yun Xue, and saw the kettle in Yun Xue's hand, and thought about Liu's loud voice just now, so he knew the purpose of Mu Yunxue's coming here.

Mu Yunxue walked into the house, Mu Yunxue looked up in the house, there was nothing wrong with when she came as usual, but today Mu Xiaoyu was not embroidering, but sat leisurely in the room and looked out through the window in the house, with a serious look and didn't know what she was thinking.

"Why doesn't Sister Xiaoyu go out to play?" Mu Yunxue approached Mu Xiaoyu's side and said softly.

Mu Xiaoyu turned her head and found that Mu Yunxue was coming, so she smiled sweetly and said, "I haven't been so leisurely for a long time, I want to sit and rest for a while." ”

In the morning, before the separation, the Li family came to Mu Xiaoyu to take all the embroidery and needlework, and the Li family really didn't want to leave anything to the third and fourth rooms! Mu Yunxue sighed in her heart.

"Yes, then I'll sit down and accompany Sister Xiaoyu." Mu Yunxue sat next to Mu Xiaoyu as she spoke, and also raised her eyes to look out of the window, because it was pasted paper, so you couldn't see the outside through the window, but you could see the light coming in from the window.

"Does Sister Xiaoyu like embroidery?" Mu Yunxue suddenly asked.

"I like it, my mother said that we will move out when we find a new house, and after moving out, I will still buy silk thread for me to embroider, but I will not be forced to embroider like my grandmother did before, I will embroider when I want to, and I can go out to play when I don't want to embroider." Mu Xiaoyu said.

"That's great, Sister Xiaoyu will teach me embroidery in the future." Mu Yunxue said with a smile, she was very interested in ancient embroidery in her previous life, and she had also gone to a special embroidery training class to learn for a while, but she only learned some fur, and she could embroider one or two decent flowers, but it was still far from being as good as Mu Xiaoyu's embroidery.

"I'll teach you if you want to learn, but don't sit still like you used to!" Mu Xiaoyu smiled, thinking that Mu Yunxue had also made a lot of perseverance to learn embroidery from herself, but she couldn't sit still after studying for two days.

"I promise not." Mu Yunxue stuck out her tongue, she couldn't sit still before, but now she can't sit still with a soul in her twenties, that's her own problem.

After that, Mu Yunxue and Mu Xiaoyu chatted for a while, the two talked and laughed, and Mu Yunxue saw that the time was almost right, so she hit a pot of hot water and said goodbye.

Back in the house, the Chu family was cleaning things in the house.

Mu Yunxue watched suspiciously, Chu Shi moved out all the things in the cabinet, neat coarse cloth rags were placed on the kang bed one by one next to the quilt, and then took out a small cloth bag from the bottom of the cabinet and put it on the table, the small cloth bag was opened and there were only a few copper coins inside, Mu Yunxue took a look, there were a total of six copper coins, and Chu Shi was a little sad when he saw that there were only six copper coins.

"Mother," Mu Yunxue walked to Chu's side and sat down, used the kettle in her arms to bring Chu a cup of hot water, and said, "Now that the family is separated, my mother should be happy, why is she so worried?" ”

Chu Shi took the hot water from Mu Yunxue's hand, took a sip of tea before sighing slowly: "Your grandmother has neither given us land, nor food and money for us, and it looks like winter is about to begin, and I don't know how to survive this winter?" ”

"Mother, I have some money here for you to take." Mu Yunxue said as she took out the twenty-eight coins left over from the last sale of honeysuckle from her sleeve and put it in front of the Chu family, actually taking it out of the space with her mind.

Chu Shi looked at the money handed over by Mu Yunxue and was shocked, and spread it out and counted a total of twenty-eight yuan, although it was not much, but it was much more than the six yuan he had saved.

"Yunxue, where did you get this money?" After counting the money, the Chu family raised his head and looked at Mu Yunxue solemnly and asked, although the family is very short of money now, the Chu family doesn't want their children to do some bad things for money, so the Chu family still has to ask about the source of the money.

Compared with the seriousness of the Chu clan, Mu Yunxue seemed a little relaxed, and replied: "This is the money from the sale of a herb called honeysuckle that I picked when I went to the mountain with my eldest brother yesterday. ”

"Herbs?" Chu Shi was relieved to hear Mu Yunxue say that it was the money from picking herbs and selling them, but he still continued to ask, "Yunxue knows herbs?" ”

Mu Yunxue shook her head, saying that she didn't know it, but replied: "This honeysuckle was once met by Dr. Lu on the mountain, he pointed it out to me, saying that it was a herb, so I thought if I could take it to the pharmacy in the town to buy it, so I picked some when I went to the mountain with my eldest brother, but I didn't expect to be able to sell it for money, but unfortunately most of the honeysuckle is withered now, and I met yesterday that it was my daughter who was not completely withered, and I was lucky." ”

"That's the case, then this money is borrowed from your mother, and when your father finds a job and receives the salary, your mother will pay it back to you." Chu said, and put his six coins together with the twenty-eight coins that Mu Yunxue took out, there are thirty-four coins in total, Chu Shi did not have a worried brow on his face, but he was not very happy, after all, no matter how much he saved the thirty-four coins, it would only be spent in a few days, and how could the future be spent Chu Clan was still at a loss for the time being.

However, it really answered that sentence - the house leak happened to rain overnight, and when Mu Jing came back with two pheasants who had passed the test in the evening, the sky began to rain lightly.

So Mu Yunxue hurriedly found the broken clay pot that received the rainwater at home and put it in the dripping place, but a few cans could not catch all the leaking rain, and the land in some places had already been wet by the dripping rainwater.

However, these did not affect the dinner of Mu Yunxue's family, two pheasants, Mu Yunxue gnawed two chicken legs, Chu also gnawed two chicken legs, and the rest was divided equally between Mu Jingze, Mu Zhijin and Mu Zhiyi.

After eating, the family sat on the kang to rest, the rain outside the house became heavier and heavier, the sound of la-la sounded outside the house, and the water leaking in the house was also more and more, dripping in the clay pot that received the rain.
