Chapter 286: Jiao Mu
"It's not like your son-in-law deliberately got separated from you." Mu Xiaocao had seen such a thing, and she casually said her conjecture.
Who would have expected that as soon as he finished speaking, the old couple were all stiff-faced, and Zhou Shuilian scolded Mu Xiaocao: "Don't talk nonsense." ”
In fact, just looking at the expressions of the old couple, everyone knows that Mu Xiaocao may have guessed correctly.
The old man smiled bitterly, put down the bowl in his hand, and said to everyone: "Thank you for the alms of the great benevolent people, we should also go." ”
"Wait a minute, eat more before leaving." Zhou Shuilian greeted.
The old man looked at the old woman, and Mu Xiu stood up and served another bowl to each of them.
Zhou Shuilian went to the kitchen first, boiled thirty eggs, and then entered the room and took out some old clothes for herself and Mu Shui.
"Uncle, aunt, the clothes on your body are too thin, and we don't want these clothes, you can wear them." Zhou Shuilian handed them the clothes in her hand.
"Thank you, thank you so much." The uncle took the clothes, first put them on the old woman, and then put one on himself, and put the rest of the clothes in the back basket behind him.
"And bring this with you, eat it on the way." Zhou Shuilian packed the hard-boiled eggs in a cloth bag, as well as a dozen white-flour steamed buns.
"We've really met a bodhisattva." The old man held the old woman and bowed to everyone.
"We can't help much, take care." Zhou Shuilian and the others sent the two old men out of the door, and when they entered the hall, they saw Li Pandi holding a copper coin in his hand, looking left and right.
"Where did you get this?" Mu Xiaocao stepped forward and took the coin.
"It was given by the tattered old man just now, saying that he was thanking us." Li Pandi replied honestly.
"This is the old coin, I'll keep it first." Mu Xiu stepped forward, saw this ancient coin, and became a collector.
"Take it." Mu Xiaocao handed it to Mu Xiu.
In the next few days, winter wheat will be planted, and the wasteland will still be planted with sesame peanuts, corn, sweet potatoes and other crops in the spring of next year.
"Xiu, can you come back at noon?" Zhou Shuilian opened her mouth and asked Mu Xiu, who was loading things.
"Not necessarily, I don't have to cook my food." Mu Xiu tied the fungus mushrooms and put them in the basket next to the back seat.
"It's better to wait for your father to finish his work and go with him in an ox cart." Zhou Shuilian said uneasily.
"Mother, it's not the first time I've gone to the county seat alone, every time I go, you don't feel at ease." Mu Xiu said helplessly.
"Alright, you stay safe and ride slowly." Zhou Shuilian turned around and entered the house.
"Sister, mother, I'm leaving." Mu Xiu said hello, got on his bicycle and rushed to the county seat.
Mu Xiu went to the county seat this time, one is to send fungus, the other is to see how the house is, and to sell some more things out, she still wants to rush to buy a tractor, otherwise the wasteland at home, although it can be busy, but it can be replaced by a machine, why do you have to waste time and energy so hard.
Two hours later, Mu Xiu appeared in front of Liu Xuenu's hotel, and Liu Xuenu's family also knew her, Hao Zhen hurriedly ran into the house and called Liu Xuenu out.
"Little girl, if you don't come again, I'm going to look for you." When Liu Xuenu saw Mu Xiu, she said with a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone of surprise.
"It's only been a month, and the boss lady misses me." Mu Xiu said with a smile.
"Yes, I miss you very much, especially your stuff..... What about things? Liu Xuenu couldn't help but laugh and joke when Mu Xiu said this.
"Brought." Mu Xiu patted the bicycle, the two large baskets behind were covered, and Liu Xuenu couldn't see what was inside.
"Let's go into the backyard." Liu Xuenu twisted, turned around and entered the store.
Mu Xiu's bicycle turned around and rode towards the backyard.
When Mu Xiu entered the backyard, Liu Xuenu was already waiting in the yard.
"Boss, this is a hundred catties of fungus, you have weighed it." Mu Xiu parked his bicycle and took out a sack of fungus from the basket on the left.
Liu Xuenu untied the sack, grabbed a handful of fungus, looked at it carefully, and gently pinched it with her fingers, it was broken, only to see that she put the broken fungus in her mouth, and then nodded.
"Yes, your fungus is dry, black and shiny, the flowers are complete, and the back of the ear is grayish-white, which is of the highest grade."
"The proprietress is really knowledgeable, these ten miles and eight towns, I can't find a better fungus than me." Muxiu is naturally very confident in the fungus grown at home.
"Okay, did you bring the salted fish? The last twenty catties have been sold out, is there any soy sauce? Liu Xuenu asked.
"Brought, this time I brought fifty catties of salted fish, ten catties of light soy sauce and ten catties of dark soy sauce." Mu Xiu opened another basket and took out the salted fish and soy sauce inside.
"Hey, you still have so many chickens with you?" Liu Xuenu's sharp eyes saw that there was still a cloth bag in the basket that only exposed the chicken's paws.
"My family raised more than 30 chickens last year, and today I killed six of them and sold them, do you want the proprietress to do it." Mu Xiu is on sale.
"Okay, I'm just going to use it, I'm going to do it."
"The hostess is so refreshing." Everything in Muxiu's bicycle was empty.
"You just wait here, I'll get you the money." Liu Xuenu took the notebook, registered, and went to the front desk to check out.
One hundred catties of fungus is two hundred yuan, twenty catties of soy sauce is twenty yuan, and the chicken has a total of twenty catties, that is, forty yuan, for a total of two hundred and sixty yuan.
Liu Xuenu and Mu Xiu discussed the time to come back next time, and Mu Xiu left on a bicycle.
After Mu Xiu settled the account at the hotel, he rode to Sun Xingfu's pickle shop.
"Mu Xiu, you're here." Sun Xingfu was loading pickles for the guests, and when he saw Mu Xiu, he said hello.
"Uncle Sun, you're busy."
"Not busy, not busy." Sun Xingfu handed over the work at hand to Huang Cui and walked to Mu Xiu.
"Mu Xiu, I later made several toppings according to your ideas, do you know what's wrong?" Sun Xingfu looked excited.
"Better than the previous business?"
"How do you know?" Sun Xingfu said in surprise, and then a smile appeared on his face again, "In the past, adults came to eat, but now, with the toppings changed, even children are pestering their parents to come to me to eat noodles." ”
"Uncle Sun's craftsmanship is good, and the toppings he makes are delicious, and adults and children love to eat them." Mu Xiu is also happy for Sun's happiness.
"Mu Xiu, you speak so nicely, I love to listen to you." Sun Xingfu laughed, then remembered something, walked quickly to the counter, opened the drawer, took out the key, walked over, and handed it to Mu Xiu.
