Chapter 59: A New Home

On the left hand side of the yard, there is the kitchen, and a shed is built behind the kitchen, which should be the place where firewood is placed on weekdays, and the wellhead is also next to the kitchen, and on the far left, a pigsty and a chicken pen are built, and the toilet is also there, after all, pig manure and chicken manure are excellent fertilizers.

It is precisely because of this bad location, coupled with the fact that every household in the village basically has a house, and no one can afford the price of this house, so the Mushui family took advantage.

"When you buy the house later, move the location of the toilet, and it's better to make a shower." Mu Xiu thought to himself.

Mu Xiu turned around and found that there was nothing in the room except for two beds and a set of tables and chairs, the door panels and chairs were still dilapidated, and the kitchen was empty.

Mu Xiu took out a set of cooking tools from the space, fortunately, when she was going back to the mountains, she bought the simplest sea bowl, and now she took it out, and it was not very conspicuous, and the iron pot and chopsticks were also taken out one by one.

He also took out a small stone mill and put it in the kitchen, where he could make tofu and soy milk in the future, as well as simple farm tools such as wooden plows, rakes, hoes, and shovels, all of which were placed along the corners of the wall.

Speaking of these farm tools, it also happened that Muxiu originally had modern machines, and every household in the mountains had farm tools, so the farm tools were only purchased in small quantities.

It's just that Mu Xiu happened to encounter a farmhouse with the theme of the 60s that went out of business, and the things in it were disposed of, and Mu Xiu saw those dilapidated farm tools that were no longer used in the mountains, and felt very feeling, so he took it at a very cheap price.

I wanted to keep it as a souvenir, but I didn't expect it to come in handy, otherwise a bunch of new farm tools would be put on display, and I really don't know how to explain it.

Mu Xiu took out some of the old wood he had collected in the provincial capital, put it in the shed, and when the wood water came, he used these leftovers to mend the doors, windows and chairs.

As soon as he finished doing this, there was a sound of the door outside being pushed open, and Mu Xiu knew that it was his father and mother who came over with his sister.

"This house is really big, really magnificent." Zhou Shuilian looked around in surprise.

"Mother, I like it here." Mu Xiu walked into the courtyard and began to take things into the house.

"Like, that's a lot bigger than your grandmother's! It would be nice to be able to stay here forever. Zhou Shuilian held the little flower in her right hand, and touched the east and west excitedly with her left hand.

"Yes, this house will be ours." Mu Xiu said in a firm tone, and then took out the scattered coins from his pocket and handed them to Zhou Shuilian.

"Mother, I still have five yuan here, give you three yuan, and I'll keep two yuan, this is our last belongings."

"This is the money you earned, you take it, my mother believes in you." Zhou Shuilian didn't answer.

Mu Xiu thought about it, and she didn't force it anymore, and then she had to go to the county seat, and when she made more money, it was not too late to give it to Zhou Shuilian.

The three of them were busy for a while before cleaning the house inside and out.

"I really didn't expect that Lao Sun Tou still left so many things in the house, otherwise we would have to buy these pots and bowls, how can we have money." Zhou Shuilian scooped out the wood water from the water tank and began to clean the pots and chopsticks.

"But no, you see this set of farm work, which is better than the previous ones in my mother's place, and this old grandson is really willing to put it in the house, and he is not afraid of being taken away." Mu Shui sighed as he stroked the hoe.

"People go to the county seat to enjoy happiness, these things are used for farm work, and it is useless to bring them." Mu Xiu explained.

"Anyway, if I go to live in the county seat and don't do farm work in the future, I will definitely sell these things, and how much can I exchange for it." Mu Shui said with a simple smile.

As soon as he was busy, time flew by, and soon in the evening, Mu Shui looked at the sky and said to Zhou Shuilian: "Child, you go and boil some hot water first, make dinner, I'll go and return the cart, and then go get some straw back, otherwise the bed will be too hard to fall asleep." ”

"Okay, you go and get back quickly." Zhou Shuilian advised.

"Okay." Mu Shui picked up the bamboo basket on his back, pushed the wooden cart and left.

"Dad, come back and buy some salt and vinegar." Mu Xiu chased out and shouted at Mu Shui.

"There is no salt seller in the village." Mu Shui turned to look at Mu Xiu suspiciously.

Mu Xiu reacted at this time, yes, to buy salt and vinegar, you need to go to the county seat to buy these seasonings, and only when the merchant comes to the village can you buy these small things from the merchant.

"I'll borrow some salt, let's go to the county seat to buy it, and then return it." Mu Shui thought about it and said to Mu Xiu, and after speaking, he continued to push the cart and left.

Mu Xiu looked at Mu Shui's distant figure, and secretly said in his heart, there are too many things to buy, it seems that he has to go to the county seat as soon as possible.

Sixty catties of wheat bran are all piled up in Zhou Shuilian and Mu Shui's bedroom, stacked in the corner of the wall, these years, whose food is put like this, looking at it every day, I also have a number of how long I can eat, and it is safe to put it like this, although the people are relatively simple now, but the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, and there will always be a few rat feces that have broken a pot of soup.

The origin of this wheat bran, just when the room was being cleaned, Mu Shui had already explained, Zhou Shuilian looked at Mu Xiu with a complicated face, this daughter didn't know when she was already so capable.

This time, Xiaohua was sick and separated, and then in this big house at this time, everything is like a dream, this is all the credit of Mu Xiu, whenever there is something, she is in the way.

"Mother, did you find anything to eat just now?" Mu Xiu looked at the wheat bran, and thought that Zhou Shuilian said just now that she was looking for something to eat, so she asked casually.

"I looked around over there, except for bamboo...... I couldn't find anything else to eat. Zhou Shuilian looked guilty.

"It's okay, it's back to the mountain here, you should eat more, I'll go out to look for it, I'll be back soon, you wait for me to come back, I'll cook." Mu Xiu picked up the basket and walked out the door.

"It's getting dark, go early and come back early." Zhou Shuilian said uneasily.

"Got it."

At this time, it was the time to grow camellia, wild onions, and bracken, and Mu Xiu quickly dug up some camellia at the foot of the mountain.

When she returned home, Mu Shui also happened to come back with a basket full of straw.

"Xiu, this is salt, save a little use." Mu Shui handed a small box the size of a matchbox in his hand to Mu Xiu.

"Dad, you go back to the house and rest first, and I'll cook." Mu Xiu took the salt and walked to the kitchen.

First, wash the shepherd's cabbage, chop it into minced pieces, add water to the wheat bran according to the proportion, put in some white flour, and then knead it into a dough.

The white-faced Muxiu didn't dare to use it too much, otherwise Zhou Shuilian would say that because there was little dough, after the dough was kneaded, it was barely sticky together.......

The final result is a coarse wheat bran dough.
