Mu An took Mu Ying to read and write in the yard, Mu Yunhan squatted in the ground to take care of the medicine seedlings, and when he saw Mu Erniang coming back, he said, "My mother is back." ”

"Hmm." Mu Erniang hung her head and walked into the kitchen with a dazed expression.

Mu An and Mu Ying didn't notice it, Mu Yunhan frowned, got up and followed.

Mu Erniang wiped her tears with her back to the door.

Mu Yunhan hugged her arm and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Mu Erniang lowered her head: "It's nothing, some dust fell on the roof in my eyes, and I was confused." ”

"I'll go to Gu's house after lunch, and I won't be injured." Mu Yunhan knew something different: "The wheat in the field is almost ripe, has my mother asked someone to help?" ”

"It's better to invite you to Aunt Zhang's house, she has a lot of family and is diligent and responsible." Mu Erniang was distracted and forgot to be sad: "I have to buy a few large vats of wheat." ”

"I know, I'll do it." Mu Yunhan went out with the money, and first found Aunt Zhang and said about cutting wheat: "Fifteen copper coins a day for one person, and two meals." ”

Aunt Zhang readily agreed: "What money do you want, isn't it just a few acres of land, we have a lot of family, all of them are skilled workers, and we can cut it for you in one day." ”

The Zhang family has a lot of labor, the old couple, four sons, plus daughter-in-law and grandson, there must be fourteen or fifteen laborers, division of labor and cooperation, and it can be done in one day.

Mu Yunhan said: "That's not possible, other families don't need money and only food, that's exchanging labor with each other, our family has no labor, you have to collect this money, otherwise we have to invite others." ”

When the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhang family heard this, she hurriedly rushed out and said with a smile: "Han girl is really sensible, your mother is really blessed." ”

This is to want money, after all, ordinary people help people, and strong laborers only get ten copper coins a day, and their women and children can get so much, which is really rare.

Aunt Zhang was quite unpleasant, but her daughter-in-law had already expressed her attitude, and it was difficult to say anything.

Mu Yunhan said: "There is just one thing, my mother is a widow, the family is narrow, there are not so many pots and pans of furniture, I am afraid that the rice has to be bothered by the aunt and sister-in-law to cook at home, we give the grain, meat and vegetables, and the labor money for cooking is still the same." ”

This again prevented the Zhang family from going in and out of her house, so as to discover the secret of the medicine seedlings.

Cooking is done anywhere, it is more convenient at home, and there is still salary to get, and several daughters-in-law of the Zhang family laughed: "Then how embarrassing?" ”

Mu Yunhan smiled: "If a few sisters-in-law find it convenient, it is better for us to watch it together at night when our family is drying the wheat grains, and I will not pay another salary." Okay? ”

Unless it rains, they do not harvest it at night, and some ruffians will take the opportunity to steal it, and they must be guarded by special personnel.

Mu Yunhan's orphans and widows are inconvenient, even if they find out that the thief is stealing wheat at night, if they can't catch up, they can't catch up, so they can only cry in vain.

Old man Zhang spoke: "Leave it to us, I won't be a human being if I have one less grain of wheat!" ”

Mu Yunhan thanked him and asked Aunt Zhang privately: "Did my mother hear any ugly gossip?" ”

Aunt Zhang couldn't hide it from her, so she had to say it.

Sure enough, it has nothing to do with the Zhao family and the Wang family.

Mu Yunhan bought five large jars in one go, and asked people to help send them home, and he was not allowed to enter the door, so he only put them at the door, and then asked Mu Erniang to come out to help.

The family worked together to push the vat into the yard and find a place to put it away, and Mu Yunhan went to Gu's house again.
