Chapter 44: Mu Xiu's thoughts
After a while, Zhou Shuilian walked in empty-handed, with an embarrassed face, "Xiu, there is nothing to eat in the house, go to bed early at night, and get up early tomorrow morning to cook for you." ”
"Otherwise, I'll go find my mother and get something to eat." Mu Shui looked at his wife and children hungry, and he was also embarrassed.
The rations at home are all placed in Liu Qimei's room, and every morning, she takes out the day's rations to the person who cooks that day, and the rest of the people don't want to take out a little food from her hands.
"Mother, you forgot, before leaving, there was still some noodles left, and I spread a few pancakes." Mu Xiu had long thought that even if he came back in time for dinner, there would be no food for them, so he made a few pancakes early and put them in the package, but he didn't say it just now, just to make his parents suffer more, so that he would die to the Mu family as soon as possible.
"Xiu, it's still thoughtful." Zhou Shuilian's face was pleased.
Mu Xiu took out the pancakes from her bag and handed them to Zhou Shuilian, and she took one herself.
The two were about to eat, when suddenly there was a "gurgling" sound around them.
Mu Shui stood up embarrassedly, "Just eat dry cakes, you'll choke, I'll go out and pour you some hot water to drink." ”
"Daddy, haven't you eaten either?" Zhou Shuilian asked.
"Lately, everyone has been working a lot and eating a lot." Mu Shui smiled and walked out.
In a simple sentence, Mu Xiu and Zhou Shuilian both understood, yes, everyone ate more, and Mu Shui naturally ate less.
"Dad, don't pour water, you can eat some too, here you go." Mu Xiu handed Mu Shui a pancake.
"I'm not hungry, you eat, you eat." Mu Shui hurriedly shirked it.
"Dad, there are a lot of cakes, it's so hot, it's going to be bad if you don't finish it tonight." Mu Xiu couldn't help but pretend to make a face.
"Then I'll eat it...... Yes! There's meat here!" Mu Shui scratched his head and showed a sincere smile, but as soon as he took a bite, the smell of meat in his mouth made him say in surprise.
"It's all minced meat, eating fragrant mouths." Mu Xiu explained with a smile.
Mu Shui was also hungry, and there was the smell of meat, so he ate a cake in two bites, and Mu Xiu hurriedly handed him another one and let Mu Shui eat it slowly.
Seeing that Mu Shui was in such a hurry, Zhou Shuilian showed a distressed look, Mu Xiu's eyes narrowed, it was really a thin and cool family, it seemed that he had to find a way to break up the family quickly, otherwise, his parents were so buns, and they were really miserable.
After everyone ate the pancakes, they were tired from the journey, and Mu Xiu had already begun to yawn.
"Xiu, when Xiaohua is full, you will sleep with Xiaohua first." Zhou Shuilian quickly unbuttoned her clothes and fed Xiaohua milk.
"Mother, you still don't sleep?" Mu Xiu frowned.
"I'm going to wash some clothes first, or I won't finish washing them tomorrow." Zhou Shuilian also yawned.
"Alas, mother, I'll wash it first, you count it, the confinement is not over yet, it's best not to touch the cold water and it's too hard." Mu Xiu rubbed his eyes and stood up with a strong spirit.
"Xiu, my mother is fine, you can rest quickly." Zhou Shuilian hurriedly called out to Mu Xiu.
Mu Xiu didn't say much, pushed open the door and walked out, and began to fetch water by the well, the location of the Mu family's house is good, the general sweet water well is not easy to play, and there are two sweet water wells in the entire Yingwu Village, one of which is on the edge of the Mu family, so it is much more convenient for the Mu family to draft water.
Mu Xiu was an orphan in her previous life, although the villagers took care of her, but that kind of affection is not as good as Zhou Shuilian's affection for her now, and it is also Zhou Shuilian's meticulous care of her, which gives Mu Xiu a sense of belonging, so Mu Xiu can only resign herself to doing these things for her now.
"I'm sleepy." Mu Xiu washed his clothes until 2 o'clock in the morning last night, and he felt that he was pulled up by a pair of hands before he felt like he was lying down.
People mistook the field for a while, and the field mistook people for a season, and everyone got up early. Although Liu Qimei doesn't have to go to the ground today, she is old, sleeps less, and gets up early, and Muzhi is still lying in bed and is reluctant to get up.
Zhou Shuilian had already made breakfast, left a meal for Mu Zhi, and put the rest on the table.
Mu Xiu slept too late last night, and Zhou Shuilian woke her up when everyone was ready to leave at the last time, and left her two steamed buns to eat on the way.
Unexpectedly, she was seen by Liu Mimei, no matter how Zhou Shuilian explained, Liu Mimei didn't listen, she rushed into Zhou Shuilian's room and picked up Mu Xiu, who was still sleeping.
"After going out for a few days, you still think that you are really from the city, and you don't have to go to work, so hurry up and get up and work for me." Before Mu Xiu came back to her senses, Liu Qimei let go of her hand, and Mu Xiu immediately fell on the bed, with bursts of pain in her back.
"Don't let me go there and pretend to be dead, don't get up again, watch me clean you up like this." After Liu Qimei finished speaking, she turned around and went out, and if she delayed any longer, everyone would have eaten up the meal.
Zhou Shuilian rushed up and hugged Mu Xiu tightly, and tears began to fall again.
Mu Xiu is really angry, but now that she is small and thin, and her parents can't count on her, she can only endure it first, but now that she has been wronged, she will definitely let them repay it twice.
Xiaohua stayed at home and had no one to take care of her, so she was wrapped by Zhou Shuilian, put it in a big basket, carried it by hand, and took it to work.
The old and young of the Mu family, walking towards the field in a mighty way, on the road, are all the villagers who go to work, seeing Zhou Shuilian, they can't help but say hello and ask the child, seeing the white and tender appearance of the grass in the basket, it is very cute, and I can't help but sigh that this child is really fate......
Everyone is a clear-eyed person, seeing that Liu Yimei and Mu Zhi are not there, they all secretly scolded Liu Qimei in their hearts for not being a thing, she doesn't go to work or take her granddaughter, her granddaughter is so young, she has to follow her parents to work, especially after calculation, Zhou Shuilian should not be out of confinement yet......
Some people couldn't help but mutter, especially those who had daughters in the family, and they all made up their minds that they would never be in-laws with the Mu family.
Mu Xiu followed behind, crossing over, and it was the first time she had seen these nominal relatives up close.
Grandpa Mu Tiedan, who is almost sixty years old this year, has a figure like an ordinary farmer, honest and honest, but he is as thin as firewood, he has been tanned and tanned for many years, his forehead has deep wrinkles, his waist is deeply bent, and his whole back has begun to hunch.
The eldest uncle Mu Sheng is tall and has the same dark skin, but he is in his early forties, but he looks like he is in his fifties......
Fortunately, the eldest son Mu Zhijun has a career and went out to be a soldier, but a few days ago, Mu Zhijun wrote that he was about to retire from the army, and when Mu Zhijun came back from the army, he would say that he was going to be his daughter-in-law...... The second son, Mu Aijun, is now sixteen years old, and he will soon reach the age of daughter-in-law......
