"That thing can really be sold for money?!" Chen Xuhui was surprised at first, then pushed Mu Xiu's hand away and said, "I don't want it, you dug it up." ”

"Really, what did I lie to you for, if you hadn't taken me that day, I wouldn't have found out, anyway, you have this money, winter is coming, if you don't buy something for the winter, you won't have such good luck when you get sick again, I just happened to meet me to find you." Mu Xiu pouted and sent the money towards Chen Xuhui's hand again.

Chen Xuhui was stunned by Mu Xiu's words, yes, this day is getting colder and colder day by day, and it is becoming more and more difficult to find food, the food he looked for before is not enough at all, thinking of the winter of the past few years, he even caught mice hungry to eat, those days, I really feel a little afraid when I think about it..... I was really lucky before, I never got sick, if.... If you get sick again... Wouldn't there be no way to wait for my mother to come back!

Mu Xiu saw that Chen Xuhui didn't object anymore, she took the opportunity to stuff the money into Chen Xuhui's hands, and then said, "Brother Chen, I still need your help." ”

"What's the matter?"

"You used to hunt and get the skins of those animals, did you keep them?" Mu Xiu asked expectantly.

"I took it, I thought I could sell it for some money, but it turned out to be ......," Chen Xuhui replied.

"You know how to nit the skin?" Mu Xiu then asked.

"Well, Grandpa Li in the village taught me before, but he... Passed away. When Chen Xuhui said this, his voice sank.

"What about the skin?"

"Here!" Chen Xuhui lifted the tattered sheets, only to see that under the sheets, a layer of various animal fur was covered......

Mu Xiu: "......"

"It's too cold, and these things can't be sold, so I put under the bed to keep warm, and with these, I'm not afraid of snow!" After Chen Xuhui finished speaking, he suddenly looked at Mu Xiu and said, "Do you want these furs to make a bed too?" ”

"No......" Mu Xiu resisted the thought that he wanted to say yes, such a fur mat...... What a luxury! It must be very warm on the floor, and Mu Xiu really wants to have such a mattress......

Mu Xiu knew that if she said that she wanted it, Chen Xuhui would definitely give it to her, but she couldn't be so selfish, if she took it, how could Chen Xuhui spend the winter.....

"That?" Chen Xuhui looked at Mu Xiu with some doubts.

"That's right, I want to sew a raw edge for Xiaohua's hat, and if you have any fur in the future, keep it for me, and I'll buy it." Mu Xiu replied.

"Okay, if you want to kill that rabbit at home, I'll help skin it." Chen Xuhui thought for a while and said.

"Then it's decided, Brother Chen, you lie down, I'll serve you food." Mu Xiu left after speaking.

Waited until Mu Xiu brought the prepared hot rice and hot dishes, watched Chen Xuhui eat it, and then took out another bowl, gave Chen Xuhui a bowl of sweet water with her antipyretic medicine, and watched Chen Xuhui lie down after drinking, then he packed up his things and left.

After Chen Xuhui took the medicine, the strength of the medicine came up, his eyelids couldn't be opened, and he fell asleep deeply.

Mu Zhijun returned home when the sky was almost bright, and Mu Aijun, who was in the same room, slept soundly, snoring deafeningly, and did not find that Mu Zhijun had not been in the room at all.

Mu Zhijun did enough physical work this night, lay on the bed, closed his eyes and fell asleep, and this sleep was also slept until the third pole of the day.

Liu Yumei felt sorry for her son, and she didn't wake him up, and when it was almost time to eat lunch, Mu Zhijun opened his eyes, put on his clothes quickly, and went to Liu Yumei's house.

"Mother, I'll discuss something with you."

"What's the matter?" Liu Yumei put down the needle and thread in her hand and looked at her son.

"Li Xingzhi said that he would arrange for me to work, and he would ask for 300 yuan, and you should help me take it out first." Mu Zhijun said a little embarrassed.

"What? Three hundred? After Liu Yumei listened, her face changed.

"Mother, this is to work in the government, then in the past, it was to enter the yamen and become an official, this is my life's event, you have to think of a way." Mu Zhijun said dissatisfiedly.

"Son, the money in the family is all in your care, over the years, I have saved a little buckle rope, but it is not enough!" Liu Yumei was also indignant when she thought of money, God knows how difficult it is for her to save every dime under Liu Yumei's nose.

"You go with my dad to my milk, please beg her." Mu Zhijun looked at Liu Yumei expectantly.

"That dead old woman, last time I said that she would let her pay more money to find you a daughter-in-law, that is dead or alive, and that Wang Guiying, who is really a thousand cuts, chews the root of her tongue in front of your milk all day long, and is only afraid that your grandmother will give us more money in private." Liu Yumei recalled the morning, and saw Wang Guiying coming out of Liu Yumei's house, looking at her eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and she didn't know how many bad things she had said recently.

"Your grandmother doesn't want to think about it, Mu Yonghui wants to look good or not, he wants to be knowledgeable and uneducated, he is lazy and greedy, giving him money is equivalent to throwing it away, but you are different, whether you give you money to find a job or a daughter-in-law, you will be the most promising person in our Mu family." Liu Yumei has a mysterious confidence in her son.

"My grandmother is really old and confused, and when I develop in the future, she shouldn't expect me to be good to her." Mu Zhijun spit on the ground, walked back and forth in the house, suddenly stopped, and said excitedly: "Mother, you go to Hongqiao to borrow some money, she should have money in her hands." ”

"Okay, I'll ask someone to go to the county seat, bring a letter to Hongqiao, and let her come back." Liu Yumei stood up and walked out.

"Mother, I'll have five days, you urge her to come back early." Mu Zhijun shouted softly.

"Got it." Liu Yumei hurriedly went to find the Chen family's sister-in-law, she was going to the county seat tomorrow, and dragged her to send a letter to Hongqiao.

The next day, Mu Xiu got up early, and after eating, he said to Zhou Shuilian: "Mother, I'll go to the county seat to see how pickles are sold?" ”

Mu Shui and Mu Xiaocao, who were still eating, put down the rice bowl in their hands at the same time, and said in unison: "I'll go with you." ”

"No, I'll come back after watching it, and I don't bring anything, you don't have to worry about me, it's not the first time I've been there." Mu Xiu picked up the basket and walked out the door.

"Xiu, I'll go with you." Mu Xiaocao is still a little worried.

"I don't need money to ride back and forth! I heard the loudspeaker in the village say that it is going to rain, you and Dad hurry up and get more straw and hay, yesterday it was not enough, okay, I can't catch the car. After Mu Xiu finished speaking, he no longer waited for everyone to speak, and trotted out all the way.

When Mu Xiu got in the car, she saw the sister-in-law of the Chen family waving at her and shouting, "Mu Xiu, come and sit next to me." ”

Mu Xiu walked over with a smile and sat down.
