Chapter 21: Surprise

Mu Chen found a faint red color in a bush.

Out of curiosity, I picked up the grass and saw that some strawberry trees were arranged in a disorderly row in a weedy circle.

Mu Chen reached out and picked one down, put it in his mouth, and when he bit it, his mouth was full of sweetness.

It's really strawberries, Mu Chen was very happy, found a large leaf and picked some strawberries, wrapped them, and put them in the back basket, without thinking about going deeper into the barren mountains, Mu Chen decided to go home.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Mu Jun came back, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone that Zaochen brought were not brought over, and the clothes were wearing new clothes.

"Sister, I'm back, the teacher taught me literacy this morning, and taught me martial arts in the afternoon."

As soon as Mu Jun came back, he reported the good news to Mu Chen.

"Jun'er, Master Lin really taught you martial arts, will he teach you anything else in the future?"

Mu Chen suddenly remembered the six arts of the ancient gentleman, if there is a person who is proficient in the six arts of the gentleman, then he will definitely be admired by her.

"The teacher said he would teach me something else in the future."

Mu Jun thought about it and said firmly, the teacher said it today, and he will teach him something else in the future.

"Okay, come here, I'll give you something to eat."

Mu Chen took out the strawberry wrapped in leaves from the back basket, and then took out a strawberry from it, and was about to stuff it in Mu Jun's mouth, Mu Jun struggled all of a sudden.

"Sister, this thing can't be eaten, at this time the snake eats, it will be poisoned if you eat it, sister, have you already eaten it, I'm going to find a doctor for you, you wait."

Mu Jun was about to run out of the house after speaking, but Mu Chen grabbed Mu Jun's back collar.

"It's okay, this one can be eaten, the snake you said eats another kind, smaller than this, this person can eat it."

Mu Chen was afraid that Mu Jun would not believe it, so he grabbed two strawberries and stuffed them into his mouth.

"Sister, don't leave Jun'er."

Mu Jun broke down and cried.

Mu Chen: "......"

I am not allowed to live for my iniquity, but he is alive for his iniquity.

"It's okay, my sister is fine, you look at my sister, if my sister is okay, you can eat it, okay."

Mu Chen wrapped Mu Jun into his arms, this sensitive baby, obviously only a few strawberries, how could it become a poison-like existence.

"Okay, if my sister dies, I won't live alone."

Mu Jun's voice was choked, and he was still crying, and as soon as he was obedient to his little sweetheart, Mu Chen's old aunt's heart felt alive.

"That's good, if my sister hasn't had anything to do for an hour, Jun'er shouldn't worry, okay?"

Mu Chen then comforted Mu Jun, he was really moved to cry, what a sensible child, I will be doubly good to him in the future.

"Also, Jun'er, if something happens to my sister, you have to live well, the Mu family will depend on you, your father and mother are dead, my sister will marry one day, you are the seedling of the Mu family."

Mu Chen hugged Mu Jun, hugged him tightly, and kept patting Mu Jun's back.

"I listen to my sister."

Mu Chen's crying hiccups were much less, and there were tears in his eyes, looking pitiful.

"You wait, my sister will cook for you, man! You can't skip a meal. ”

Mu Chen let go of Mu Jun, it was getting late, and it was time for dinner.

Soon, Mu Chen's three dishes and one soup came out of the pot.

"Is the girl there?"

Aunt Hua came to Mu Chen's house, and Mu Chen and Mu Jun were having dinner and eating deliciously.

"Aunt Hua, come in!"

Mu Chen put down the dishes and chopsticks and was about to pick up Aunt Hua.

"Chen girl, there are two hundred catties of bamboo shoots I received today, and Da Zhuang and I can't take them, so you can let the person who pulls the bamboo shoots come to my house tomorrow."

Aunt Hua came over to give Mu Chen good news, no one believed it yesterday, but she received so much today.

"Aunt Hua, after you go back, leave me a hundred catties, tomorrow I will only let the one who pulls the bamboo shoots pull a hundred catties, and I will use the remaining one hundred catties."

Mu Chen thought about it, if there are no bamboo shoots in these ten miles and eight towns, then Gui Keju will not be able to receive bamboo shoots, and the bamboo shoots left behind will be made into dried bamboo shoots and sold to Gui Keju is another income.

"Miss Chen, that's okay, Aunt Hua will pick up a hundred catties of good bamboo shoots for you to stay, and I'll go back to pick up bamboo shoots first."

Aunt Hua specially came to talk to Mu Chen, and there was no mention of the existence of silver.

"Aunt Hua, I'll give you twenty coppers for your salary today, do you think it's okay?"

Mu Chen thought about today's salary, and finally decided on the price.

"Miss Chen, it's not easy for you to earn money, just Aunt Hua will accept ten copper from you."

Aunt Hua thought about it, but she still didn't ask for so much, and the coolie man in the town was only fifteen coppers.

"You are not allowed to postpone what Aunt Hua said, why did you postpone it."

Mu Chen's face sank and he just stared at Aunt Hua.

"Chen girl, you can't earn much silver, the big man in the town only has fifteen coppers a day, and Aunt Hua wants ten coppers."

Aunt Hua never accepted twenty coppers, and Mu Chen couldn't do it.

"Aunt Hua, you have collected today's salary, buy some food for the eldest brother, ten coppers will be ten coppers."

Mu Chen thought about it, ten coppers are ten coppers, and it's a big deal to supply Aunt Hua from other aspects.

"Aunt Hua, the copper you are padding will be given to you tomorrow, I only have a few dozen coppers today, and there will not be much copper after your salary is opened."

Mu Chen took out ten coppers and gave them to Aunt Hua.

Only then did Aunt Hua take the copper with peace of mind.

"Aunt Hua, you stay and eat."

Mu Chen glanced at Mu Jun, who had already put down the dishes and chopsticks, and wanted Aunt Hua to stay and eat together.

"Chen girl, I won't eat it, Da Zhuang is still waiting for me at home."

Aunt Hua waved her hand, indicating that she really didn't eat, and then went out.

"Sister, do you have any idea to make money by leaving a hundred catties of bamboo shoots?"

Mu Jun looked at Mu Chen, how did he feel that his sister was the kind that he couldn't beat and couldn't compare to in his life.

"Yes, you study hard, my sister will have enough money for you to study."

After Mu Chen finished speaking, he picked up the rice bowl again.

……

Early the next morning, Mu Chen cooked breakfast for Mu Jun, and brought the leftover strawberries from yesterday to Mu Jun, saying that they were snacks on the road.

When the carriage arrived at the door of Mu Chen's house, Mu Chen had been waiting for a while.

"Brother Wang is here, today's bamboo shoots are placed at Aunt Hua's house, I will lead Brother Wang to go, and the bamboo shoots will also be placed at Aunt Hua's house in the future, come to me every day to settle an account, just go to Aunt Hua's house to get bamboo shoots, Brother Wang remember?"

Mu Chen looked at Wang Xuan, Aunt Hua's house was in the middle of the village, and it would take more than ten minutes for people to walk over.

"Miss Mu come up, I will settle the account with Miss Mu, and then go to Aunt Hua's house that Miss Mu said."

Mu Chen climbed into the carriage at this time, riding the carriage and the ox cart are completely different experiences, just the vision has broadened a lot, Mu Chen feels very novel.
