Chapter 54: The New Year
Hm, eat?
Mu Yunxue didn't know where Mu Hong got this confidence, didn't he see what was on his table, what was on their table?
"Dad, here is our filial piety this year." Mu Jing ignored Mu Hong's inquiry, but got up and took out a purse from his sleeve.
"Dad, this is our filial piety for the fourth room this year." After Mu Jingze, Mu Jinglei also took out a purse from his sleeve.
Mu Hong saw the purse in the hands of Mu Jingze and Mu Jinglei, the purse was very heavy, obviously it would not be silver, then it could only be copper coins, Mu Hong, who was thinking like this, showed a trace of displeasure in his eyes, since he came to Anyang Town, he had never used copper coins again, and the smallest in his hand was also one or two taels of silver, and only when he rewarded the people in the house, he would put it in copper coins.
Mu Jingze and Mu Jinglei naturally saw the displeasure flashing in Mu Hong's eyes, and there was still no expression on their faces.
However, Mu Jingze and Mu Jinglei waited like this for a long time, only to see a person dressed as a little guy come over and take the purse in Mu Jingze and Mu Jinglei's hands one by one, and then saw that the little guy put the purse into his pocket.
"Well, filial piety is also filial piety, this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner has also been eaten, you guys should go back quickly!" Mu Hong said.
This is going to drive people out!
"Yes," however, Mu Jingze and Mu Jinglei still had no expression, no anger, no sadness, in short, they accepted Mu Hong's words very calmly, and just left with their family after answering.
Out of the gate of Mufu, the ox cart walked slowly, and now it is dark, because it is Chinese New Year's Eve and every family is reunited at the moment, and the street is also lonely, so this ox cart full of people is very special.
Gurgling, the stomach of the man in the ox cart crowed uncontrollably.
"Yunxue, I'm hungry!" Mu Xiaoyu, who was sitting next to Mu Yunxue, lowered her head a little aggrieved at the moment, looking at her gurgling stomach, although she was very full at noon, she hadn't eaten anything since after lunch, and it was impossible not to be hungry.
"I'm hungry too!" Mu Yunxue was also hungry, if she was usually at home, she would have already eaten dinner.
"My little sister has a bun seller in front of me, my brother will buy it for you to eat." Mu Zhiyi, who was sitting on the other side of Mu Yunxue, said suddenly.
Bun? Who will sell steamed buns on this Chinese New Year's Eve?
Mu Yunxue looked up after listening to Mu Zhiyi's words, but sure enough, there was someone selling steamed buns on the street not far from the ox cart, and the steaming steamed buns were particularly abrupt in such a weather.
"Third brother, let's buy some buns and eat them before we go!" Mu Jinglei, who spoke this time, in fact, Mu Jinglei and Mu Jing were sitting at the head of the ox cart and saw the stall selling steamed buns in front of them early in the morning, and they were all thinking about waiting for the ox cart to stop and buy some steamed buns, and everyone would hurry after eating the steamed buns.
"Hmm," Mu Jing nodded, and responded.
The hot bun shop on this cold night of Chinese New Year's Eve looks very withered, the ox cart slowly stops in front of the bun shop, the bun seller is an old man over half a hundred years old, at this moment the old man is sitting behind the steaming buns in a large cage, the face full of wrinkles but always with a smile, Mu Yunxue glanced at the old man, I don't know if this old man smiled at this group of people, or at the two big steaming buns in front of him.
"Boss, twenty buns." Mu Jing got out of the ox cart and walked to the steamed bun shop to take a look at the old gentleman, and then took out fifty yuan from his pocket and put it on the table of the steamed bun shop.
"Okay," the old man glanced up at Mu Jingze, then got up and glanced at the money that Mu Jingze put on the table, then took out a few pieces of oiled paper and opened the steamer to take the buns.
"Alright, a total of twenty-five buns." The old man handed five wrapped oiled paper packets to Mu Jingze.
Mu Jing was stunned for a moment and wanted to say something, but after meeting the old man's eyes, he didn't say anything, but took the five packs of buns handed over by the old man and turned to leave.
One bun costs two yuan, so twenty buns are forty yuan, but Mu Jing saw that the old man also came out to sell buns on this Chinese New Year's Eve, so he felt pity, so he gave ten more yuan, but Mu Jing did not expect that the old man gave himself twenty-five buns, which was exactly the price of fifty yuan.
On a bleak cold night, the snow was falling, Mu Yunxue looked at the steaming buns in her hands, looked up at the relatives sitting beside her, and also took the hot buns one by one, and everyone had a happy smile on their faces.
Mu Yunxue also took a bite of the bun in her hand, the taste of the bun was very good, it was the most delicious bun Mu Yunxue had ever tasted.
After eating two steamed buns, Mu Yunxue's stomach was also full, but Mu Yunxue felt that the warmth in her heart at the moment was more satisfying than the fullness of her stomach.
The ox cart moved forward slowly, with scattered red lanterns hanging on both sides of the silent street, and as the ox cart slowly drove out of Anyang Town, there were many brilliant fireworks behind it.
Mu Yunxue looked back at the fireworks set off in the sky above Anyang Town, the brilliant fireworks were colorful and beautiful.
"It's beautiful!" Mu Xiaoyu also looked back at the fireworks that kept blooming in the air like Mu Yunxue, and unconsciously admired it while looking at it.
"Well, it's beautiful!" Mu Yunxue also responded, in her previous life, Mu Yunxue had seen many fireworks that were more beautiful than this, but at this moment, Mu Yunxue felt that there were no more beautiful fireworks than in front of her.
So the ox cart stayed here for a quarter of an hour, and the people on the ox cart all looked up at the fireworks that kept blooming in the sky, and the colorful fireworks illuminated the whole night, and at the same time illuminated every happy smiling face on the ox cart.
After Chinese New Year's Eve, it was the first day of the new year, and Mu Yunxue went to the house of Dr. Lu and Han Qi to pay New Year's greetings with his father Mu Jingze and Niang Chu, as well as his eldest brother Mu Zhijin and his third brother Mu Zhiyi.
It's just that when he went to Dr. Lu's house, it happened that Dr. Lu was not at home, so Mu Jing is Chu family put the gift in the house and left, and when he came back, he went directly to Han Qi's house.
"Happy New Year to Uncle and Aunt, Happy New Year to Brother Jin, Happy New Year to Brother Yi, Happy New Year to Yunxue!" It was Han Jing who opened the door.
"Happy New Year, this is a New Year's gift for you." Chu Shi greeted Han Jing with a smile, and then took a gift box to Han Jing.
"Thank you, auntie." Han Jing took the gift box and invited everyone into the house.
"Brother, Uncle Mu's family is here." Han Jing took Mu Yunxue's family into the hall.
"Uncle Mu, Aunt Mu, Happy New Year!" Han Qi was originally sitting in the room chatting with Shangguan Chi, and when he saw Mu Jingze's family, he got up to say hello.
"Happy New Year!" Mu Jing responded with a smile, and when he looked up, he saw Shangguan Chi sitting in the room.
Shangguan Chi was originally sitting with a hanging child, but after seeing Mu Yunxue, he immediately stood up and walked to Mu Jingze and Chu Shi to greet him warmly: "Hello Uncle Mu, Aunt Mu, my name is Shangguan Chi, and I am a friend of Han Qi and Mu Zhijin." ”
"Oh, you're a friend of Zhijin!" Mu Jing was a little surprised, the son in front of him, who claimed to be Shangguan Chi, was either rich or noble at first glance, and he was originally surprised that Han Qi actually knew such a person, but he didn't expect that his eldest son also knew this person, and he was still a friend.
"Exactly, I heard that Zhi Jin was injured, I don't know how he is now?" Shangguan Chi said and glanced behind Mu Jingze, and saw Mu Zhijin in a wheelchair.
"To Jin, you are!" Shangguan Chi looked at Mu Zhijin in disbelief, but he spoke for a while.
"As you can see, but it's fine." Mu Zhijin looked at Shangguan Chi and replied lightly.
"And said it's nothing, you obviously have a broken leg like this!" Shangguan Chi exclaimed, "No, I have to inform the people in the capital quickly, and I must call the best doctor to heal you." Really, it's all my old man's fault, who didn't call me early or late, but asked me to go back when you were injured, but fortunately now that I'm back and know your situation, I will definitely ask the best doctor to heal you. ”
"The best doctor, do you think there is a better doctor than Dr. Lu?" Mu Zhijin's face has always been calm, and his tone has always been calm.
"This," Shangguan Chi was stunned by Mu Zhijin's words, and then lost his spirit like a frosted eggplant.
"Then what are you going to do in the future, you want to be like this forever?" Shangguan Chi looked at Mu Zhijin with some unbearable and asked.
"Maybe, maybe not!" Mu Zhijin replied to Shangguan Chi with a never-ending answer.
"Hey," Shangguan Chi sighed heavily, "It's just like this first." ”
Shangguan Chi suddenly walked in front of Mu Yunxue and said to Mu Yunxue: "Xiao Yunxue, your brother is like this now, you have to take good care of your brother in the future, do you know?" ”
"Hmm!" Mu Yunxue nodded in response.
stayed at Han Qi's house for a while, and then Mu Jing left with his family.
The New Year from the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve to the seventh day of the New Year should actually be very busy, but Mu Yunxue's family has no relatives and friends because they have always had no relatives and friends, Mu Jingze's relatives are the big room and the second room to visit, but thinking about the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve, Mu Jingze and Mu Jinglei chose not to go, so except for the third year of junior high school, after visiting the village chief Mu Feng's house and giving gifts, Mu Jingze and Mu Jinglei's families have been staying at home.
As for Chu and Xu's return to their parents' home, Chu has been an orphan since childhood, so they have no mother's family, and Xu's mother's family died soon after Xu's marriage to Mu Jinglei because of the big water in their hometown, so the two concubines also have a thicker relationship, the same has no mother's family, and the same is not treated in her mother-in-law's house.
On the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, the warm winter sun sprinkled in the snow, Mu Yunxue entered Jufeng Mountain again with a basket on her back early in the morning.
This time, Mu Yunxue went with psyllium, and Mu Yunxue would enter Jufeng Mountain in such a snowy season, because the precious medicine that Master Dr. Lu had seen on Jufeng Mountain before had already bloomed, so Mu Yunxue volunteered to go up the mountain to help Dr. Lu pick it, so Dr. Lu asked Mu Yunxue to take psyllium into the mountain together.
The snow was very thick, Mu Yunxue stepped on the thick snow, and the snow directly covered Mu Yunxue's knees.
"How far is psyllium?" Mu Yunxue walked in the snow with difficulty, feeling that her toes were frozen.
Wangwang, suddenly the psyllium stopped, and then saw the psyllium kept digging in the snow, Mu Yunxue wondered why the psyllium suddenly did this, but saw that the psyllium had already dug something out of the snow.
