Chapter 50 Decisions
The snow fell, Chinese New Year's Eve is approaching, every day Mu Yunxue in addition to reading medical books is to follow Dr. Lu to learn medical skills, at night will enter the space to continue learning, and harvest the ripe rice and vegetables in the space, and then sow and harvest.
The days passed in such a calm and serene time, until on the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, the Liu family from the second room of the Mu family came to the door.
"Yo, the third brother and the fourth brother have a good yard, look at this blue brick house!" As soon as Liu entered the courtyard, he pinched his throat and shouted.
Mu Yunxue was originally reading a book in the house, but when she heard Liu's voice, she frowned slightly, and was about to go out of the room, but she heard Xu's voice ringing in the courtyard: "Second sister-in-law is really a distinguished guest, why do you have time to come to our humble house today!" ”
"This is the fourth brother and sister, it's really been a different person for a long time, look at this appearance, it's really getting younger and younger." Liu glanced at Xu's, when he looked at Xu's well-cut new cotton clothes, a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes, especially when he looked at Xu's more beautiful face than before, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, although the previous Xu family was still good when he first married into the Mu family, but over the years, under the training of his mother-in-law, the original beautiful face has long lost its former demeanor, as if she has become an old mother, obviously younger than herself, but she looks a lot older than herself, but how long has it been since she was separated, This Xu family is actually younger than the original, which has to make the Liu family jealous.
At this time, Liu thought of Mu Jinglei, who has always been industrious, and Mu Jingshan, who is lazy and lazy, since the separation of the family, he has been doing housework every day, and the few people in the family have always been clothed to reach out for food to open their mouths, which makes them bitter, and their white and tender hands are now calloused.
Originally, I couldn't wait to come over to inform the invitation of the big house yesterday, and this made Liu's impatience actually Liu wanted to see how the third and fourth rooms were living now, and they were stretched, but to Liu's expectations, the third and fourth rooms not only did not live stretched, but also lived in such a good house, and looking at Xu's appearance, he knew that the people in the third and fourth rooms are now better than when they were not separated, and I don't know how much better. This made Liu feel jealous for no reason, so the tone of his speech became a little sour.
"The second sister-in-law laughed, and the second sister-in-law looked more energetic than before." Xu said with a smile, even if he lived in North Village after the separation, he was also far away from the second room, but he always lived in the same village, and what was the current situation of the second room, Xu also occasionally heard a few sisters with a good relationship in the original South Village.
Although the second room got a lot of things when the family was divided, Mu Jingshan was lazy, so the big and small things in the family fell on the Liu family, Liu had a son and a daughter, the eldest son Mu Zhiyao has been studying in the town, the second son Mu Zhiwu was also sent to the village private school by the Liu family after the separation, the third daughter Mu Yiyi because of her good looks, so the Liu family never let Mu Yiyi do any rough work, and raised Mu Yiyi like a young lady from a rich family, Liu has always hoped that Mu Yiyi will be able to marry a high family in the future.
So the big and small things in the second room now have to be done by the Liu family alone, and not long after the separation, the Liu family has already lost a lot of weight, and the round face with a double chin is small.
"Hmph," Liu Shi heard the mockery in Xu's tone, although it was uncomfortable to listen to in his heart, but he only snorted coldly, for those uncles in the family who came to reach out for food to open their mouths, Liu was also helpless, when he was not separated before, he could also rely on his mother-in-law to support and instruct the people in the third and fourth rooms to do it, but now that he has split the family, there is no reason to ask others to do it.
Although Liu sometimes thinks of having no skin and no face to let the people in the third and fourth rooms help him do things, but that's just thinking about it, the people in the third and fourth rooms are not fools, and they are not really so easy to handle, which can be seen from the fact that the people in the third and fourth rooms left their homes decisively, and the people in the third and fourth rooms are definitely not really soft persimmons, and they can be manipulated by others.
"This is about to celebrate the New Year, I still have a bunch of things to do at home, I came today to inform you for the people in the big house, my father said that although we have split up, we are a family after all, so this Chinese New Year's Eve still has to be spent together, so I sent someone to invite our second room and your third and fourth rooms to go to the big house in the town for a reunion on Chinese New Year's Eve." Liu said, with a hint of envy in his eyes, the people of the big house are now living a life like a rich and noble person in the town, and their own family is still in the countryside, it feels unfair to think about it, but fortunately, they have also bought a yard in the town, and they plan to move in after the spring of the new year, and when the time comes, they will also buy two servants at home and live a good life as a noble lady.
The Liu family is fantasizing about the future here, but the Xu family is a little dark after hearing that the second elder of the Mu family invited everyone to go to the town for a reunion, but his face only responded to the Liu family lightly: "I know, since the second sister-in-law has been notified, then I won't stay as a guest." ”
This is a direct eviction order, Liu listened to the coldness in Xu's words, but he was not annoyed, think about what his mother-in-law did to the third and fourth rooms when there was no separation in the past, even if it is a clay man, there is a grudge!
On the night after Liu left, Xu told Mu Jingze and Mu Jinglei about it, so Mu Jingze and Mu Jinglei left everyone in the hall after dinner and announced the matter.
There was silence for a while, and just after Mu Jingze announced the matter, the entire hall fell into a kind of silence, and everyone's faces showed a dark color.
"Dad, I have something to say." At this time, Mu Yunxue opened her mouth first, in fact, Mu Yunxue heard it when the Liu family came in the afternoon, and she also thought about it, in fact, this matter is nothing, isn't it just a meal, and you don't have to pay your own money, and now the big house is also a family with some status in the town, so you can't invite your brother to reunite with this fanfare, and the result is ugly for your brother, so for the collective silence of the family now, Mu Yunxue feels that she needs to stand up and be the first to speak.
"Say it!" Mu Jing glanced at Mu Yun Xue Dao.
After getting Mu Jingze's affirmation, Mu Yunxue stood up and walked to the middle and said: "Actually, I think this matter is very simple, it is very reasonable for the uncle to invite all of us to dinner, and I think there will be no shortage of grandma at such a party in the future, but when we go to dinner, I think we should change our clothes." ”
Suddenly, Mu Yunxue glanced at the clothes worn by everyone present, because it was now the New Year, everyone in the family was there, and no one had to do heavy work, so everyone present was wearing a new muslin cotton jacket made this year. In fact, muslin cotton jackets are not very good clothes, but for them who did not only wear patched coarse cloth clothes before, such clothes are already very good, and for the two elders of the Mu family who know that they only deserve to wear patch coarse cloth clothes, such clothes are very eye-catching.
Don't blame Mu Yunxue for thinking about the second elder of the Mu family with such a dark mind, in fact, this is what the second elder of the Mu family often said when there was no separation before, and such things have happened in the past.
Once the Zhou family came back and took back the old clothes that Mu Shanshan and Mu Zhiwen couldn't wear and prepared to give them, Mu Zhijin, Mu Zhiyi, Mu Zhixu, Mu Yunxue and Mu Xiaoyu, but they were seen by the Li family, and these clothes were taken back by the Li family on the spot, saying that they were not worthy of such good clothes, and in the end these clothes were all sold by the Li family.
In fact, the Zhou family is not kind, but every time she comes back, she sees that Mu Yunxue and they are wearing old clothes with patches and coarse cloth, which stains her eyes, so she thinks about bringing back the clothes that Mu Zhiwen and Mu Shanshan don't want to give Mu Yunxue and a few of them to wear, all of which are sent to Huazi.
But the Li family seemed to be unable to see the people in the third and fourth rooms, so that the clothes that others didn't want were reluctant to give them to wear, but later the Li family still reflected her "love" of this milk, and then asked Mu Zhiyao, Mu Zhiwu and Mu Yiyi to pack up a few unwanted torn clothes and give them to Mu Yunxue and a few people.
And now, if the second elder of the Mu family sees that the people in the third and fourth rooms are wearing new clothes, although I don't know if the Li family will do anything surprising, but in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Mu Yunxue feels that it is better for his family to keep a low profile now.
"What Yun Xue said makes sense." The first one to stand up and agree with Mu Yunxue's statement was Xu's, obviously Xu's also wanted to avoid some unnecessary troubles that might happen, maybe Xu's troubles may be different from Mu Yunxue's, but they were all to avoid unnecessary troubles.
"Well, I agree with Sister Yunxue's words." It was Mu Zhixu who spoke, Mu Yunxue glanced at Mu Zhixu, Mu Zhixu Mu Yunxue has never been able to understand, after the four-room family moved to live with his own family, Mu Zhixu didn't take long to go to work in the town's ceramic shop, and he didn't come back until two days ago.
In the past, Mu Zhixu gave Mu Yunxue the feeling that he was an elder brother who loved his sister very much, but now Mu Yunxue looked at Mu Zhixu and felt that Mu Zhixu had another temperament, which should not appear in a rural boy like Mu Zhixu.
"Well, let's do it!" It was Mu Zhijin who said yes, Mu Zhijin can only sit in a wheelchair because her legs are wasted, and Mu Jing in order to let Mu Zhijin be free at home, he and Mu Jinglei have removed all the thresholds at home, or made changes, and now Mu Zhijin no longer needs to be pushed, and he can look around in a wheelchair.
"What do you think, fourth brother?" Mu Jingze looked up at Mu Jinglei who was sitting next to him and asked out loud.
"Well, I think that's it. Although we have now split up, it has become a habit for my father and mother to exploit us in the third and fourth rooms for the sake of the big house over the years, and it is difficult to ensure that they will not make any unreasonable demands when they see what we are wearing now. Mu Jinglei analyzed.
So in the end, Mu Jingze and Mu Jinglei's family decided to change into their old clothes collectively to attend the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet in the big house on tomorrow's Chinese New Year's Eve, a festive day when they should wear new clothes.
