Chapter 47: Persuading Parents
"yes." Mu Shui nodded as he ate.
"Why didn't you listen to you about such a big thing?" Mu Xiu was really defeated by Mu Shui.
"Your grandmother said, the responsibility is to the field, everyone still farms together, harvests together, all under her control, this is no different from now, isn't there anything to say about farming." Mu Shui didn't feel any difference.
"Daddy!" Mu Xiu elongated his voice, and his face was full of complaints.
"What's wrong? Elegant? Mu Shui heard Mu Xiu's displeasure, and he looked at Mu Xiu with some doubts.
"Hey, have you thought about it, dad is now earning work, although everyone has a task, just because our family is in a brigade, uncles and uncles are lazy at every turn, our family does the most work, and so on in the future, the responsibility of the field, that is contracted to individuals, and there is no scorekeeper supervision, then those people in the family, more blatantly not to work, in the end, according to my grandmother's eccentricity, not let our family do it, farm work is much more than now."
"It's your own work to live more and less, Xiu, it's all a family, it's nothing to do more work, I'll come back after a good night's sleep, what's there to worry about." Mu Shui's tone of assumption almost made Mu Xiuqi feel internally injured.
"Dad, you treat them as a family, but Xiaohua is sick, who has reached out to help, my mother has just given birth, she has to drag her weak body, and take care of Xiaohua in the hospital day and night, who has ever felt sorry for her, now she is still in confinement, and she is going to follow the autumn harvest again, do you think this is appropriate?!" Mu Xiu said excitedly.
"It's not that everyone is poor and has no money, Zhijun still has to talk about his daughter-in-law...... Now he is busy again...... "The more Mu Shui said, the quieter his voice became, he listened to Mu Xiu's questioning, and the more he thought about it, the more unpleasant it became, he persuaded Mu Xiu on his lips, but when he thought of what they did, he turned out to be cold.
"Dad, Xiaohua is so small, don't you feel distressed to follow us to bask in such a big sun?" Mu Xiu saw the hesitation in Mu Shui's eyes, so he said while the iron was hot.
"Show, Dad... Daddy is sorry for you, but ...... What do you think you can do? Mu Shui looked at Mu Xiu, with a hint of inquiry in his tone, and at some point, he found that this daughter didn't seem to be the same as before.
The so-called difference does not refer to the difference in appearance, but to her temperament and manners, compared with before, she really looks like two people.
In the past, every time she saw Mu Xiu, she always lowered her head, didn't ask her, she never said a word, and her voice was as small as a mosquito when she spoke, but now, no matter who she saw, she no longer twisted, and she looked directly at each other when she spoke, she didn't look timid and shy at all, her actions were generous, and her words and deeds were convincing, and she didn't look like the past at all.
In comparison, Mu Shui still likes the current Mu Xiu, which makes him feel like he has a backbone.
"Dad, let's split up!" Mu Xiu's words shocked Mu Shui.
"Xiu, it's so easy for you to be separated? Your grandmother has always disagreed with the separation, and if we mention it, we will be scolded by someone pointing at the backbone. Zhou Shuilian hugged Xiaohua, and a helpless voice came from behind her.
At this time, unless the old man takes the initiative to divide the family, or the parents have died, the family can be separated, otherwise if the son proposes to divide the family first, he will be scolded by the whole village.
Mu Xiu then remembered that it was so difficult to divide the family, so how could I get my grandparents to take the initiative to split the family? Mu Xiu fell into deep thought.
Seeing that Mu Xiu stopped talking, Zhou Shuilian also sighed, she originally thought that Mu Xiu had any good way, in the provincial hospital, Mu Xiu often brainwashed her into telling her some questions about how to do after Xiaohua came back, and after coming back, these actions of the Mu family made Zhou Shuilian, a person like a person, also very dissatisfied.
Zhou Shuilian also thought about separating the family, but how easy is it to separate the family......
"Dad, grandma knows about the money we owe to the village, right?" Mu Xiu suddenly asked about Mu Shui.
"Knowing ......"
"Is she going to give it to us?" Mu Xiu said with some hesitation.
"I didn't hear your grandmother talk about this, but after the autumn harvest, it will be counted as a share, and when the family has surplus money, it should be returned to the village first." Zhou Shuilian's tone also carried a little hesitation.
It's about to be calculated, Mu Xiu didn't have a little hope for Liu Yimei that she would help pay off the debt, but this seems to be an opportunity, Mu Xiu decided to plan well, she must split up, otherwise their bones will be gnawed into slag in the future.
The next few days were spent like this, and when the autumn harvest was finally completed, Mu Xiu didn't have time to rest and rest, followed by drying and harvesting grain.
"If you are busy for a while, you will be able to rest." Zhou Shuilian twisted a handful of towels and handed it to Mu Xiu, "Xiu, hold on a little longer." ”
"Mother, I know, it's still dawn at this time, I'll go to the river and wash my sister's diaper." Mu Xiu picked up the diapers that had been changed in the bamboo basket for a day.
"Go ahead, come back as soon as you're done."
"Okay."
Mu Xiu took the bamboo basket and walked to the small river not far from home, she quickly finished washing the diaper, and then took out 5 hard-boiled eggs from the space, stuffed them at the bottom of the bamboo basket, pressed them with clean diapers, and walked towards home with big strides.
"Mother, look what good things I found." Mu Xiu lifted the curtain, and after entering the house, he lowered his voice and whispered.
"What's that?" Zhou Shuilian saw Mu Xiu's mysterious appearance, and asked very cooperatively, even Mu Shui, who was teasing Xiaohua, turned his head and looked at what Mu Xiu had found.
"I just went to wash my clothes and picked up five eggs, and seeing that this head was not big, it looked like an egg laid by a pheasant, so I secretly went outside, lit a fire, and cooked it in a hot iron tank." Mu Xiu pulled the egg out of the bamboo basket and placed it on the table.
The five round eggs exuded a charming temptation, and both Zhou Shuilian and Mu Shui couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
"It can't be that the hen is not optimistic, it is outside, this lost the egg, but it should be in a hurry." After Zhou Shuilian reacted, she began to worry about the person who threw the egg.
"Your mother is right, you don't ask, just cook." Mu Shui had a little blame in his eyes.
"If anyone has a hen that can lay eggs, they all watch it strictly, how can they let it slip out to lay eggs." What Mu Xiu said is also very reasonable.
"Xiu is right." Zhou Shuilian thought about it and nodded involuntarily.
"Anyway, eggs are valuable, and it would be bad if they were to be found." Mu Shui has always been timid and afraid, but he is still not at ease.
