Thinking about being able to bring the spices into the backyard through Sister-in-law Lin, Mu Wanqiu suddenly heard this, and was stunned, staring at the lock for a long time before remembering to ask, "...... Am I lying? ”

“…… I just saw that you were coughing badly, and you asked me to tell my mother that you are okay? Chain's eyes were bulging.

"I'm so good......" picked him up and held him up, "Look, I can move the lock again......"

“…… So you're still so red? The lock has not forgotten, she was lying on the street that day, her face was so red and hot, he was so frightened that he cried.

"I'm wearing rouge ......"

“…… It's true? The lock put down the snack and rubbed it twice with his little hand, and the five little fingers immediately turned red, "I almost asked my mother to go to Dr. Ma to settle the account......" rubbed his hand on his body, and he laughed.

broke free from Mu Wanqiu's jumping on the ground, and reached out to grab a snack again.

was stopped by Mu Wanqiu, and wiped his hands with a towel, "I'm trying to deceive Sister-in-law Lin, if she gets better, she has to let me work......" and pinched the chain's little nose, "The lock has to be kept secret from me, don't say it." ”

"I'm done, my mother asked me to work, and I often pretend to have a stomachache" finally has a common secret, the lock patted his chest proudly, "Sister Aqiu, don't worry, I won't say it......" put the snack in her mouth, remembered, and said, "By the way, then I'll tell my mother to let the owner send spices early?" ”

"I haven't thought about being able to hide it from Sister-in-law Lin yet......" Mu Wanqiu frowned.

Don't say that she is recuperating, even if she is not sick, Sister-in-law Lin will not let her cut materials for Li Ji in private.

Staring at Mu Wanqiu with big black eyes, the lock swallowed the snack in his mouth vigorously, and it took a long time before swallowing it, and as soon as he took a breath, he couldn't wait to say, "I thought about it a long time ago, so I sent it in from the dog hole in the back......"

Dog hole

Mu Wanqiu shook her head, "It's too small......"

"It's okay......" The lock straightened his chest, "I saw it just now, your Lin Ji's dog hole is much bigger than the one in Lao Ma's house, and his dog hole is only small...... "I made a small circle with his hand, "I scrape my clothes every time I climb, and I am trained by my mother, Lin Ji's is fine......" I turned around on the ground, "The clothes are not torn, right?" No less words"

"Hmm......" Mu Wanqiu nodded, and slapped the dirt on his back.

"I'll ask my mother to pack the spices into a small bag, and Sister Aqiu will pick it up when the time comes......"

That's a good idea

Mu Wanqiu's eyes lit up, and she nodded vigorously, "Okay"

……

It took two hours for Mu Wanqiu to finish cutting the twenty catties of spices sent by Li Ji.

“…… The two coins are in hand" Wiping the sweat from her forehead, Mu Wanqiu smiled with relief.

Instead of having to work in the front yard, she has a lot of practice cutting.

After rummaging through the freshly cut ingredients, the size and thickness were very even, Mu Wanqiu nodded with satisfaction, "...... Work slowly and carefully, don't be in a hurry, as long as the technique is right, I will be fast one day. ”

took the three small bags, divided the cut spices, and carried them to see, the size was about the same as the dog hole, and she could hand them out with a soft hand, Mu Wanqiu tied the mouth of the bag, stood up and put it on the mud tank in the corner of the south wall.

He bent down again to put away the cutting board, knives and other things, and was sweeping the floor with a broom, when there was a knock on the door, Mu Wanqiu was startled, "...... Who? ”

“…… Is it me, Ah Qiu's illness? Master Liu's shrill voice came.

She was standing at the door with her hands crossed, today is the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, it has been seven or eight days, and she is not Mu Wanqiu's illness has not recovered.

How can a child from a poor family be so squeamish?

Ordinary people are infected with the wind and cold, and they can work in the field in three or two days, and she suspects that Mu Wanqiu is pretending to be sick and not working.

After standing for half a pillar of incense, Mu Wanqiu opened the door slowly, and when she saw that she was tightly wrapped, Master Liu frowned, "...... Are you so tightly wrapped in the house? ”

“…… I'm afraid of infecting the master. Mu Wanqiu blinked and said angrily through the turban urn.

Master Liu couldn't tell if there was anything wrong with her voice.

“…… Haven't seen it strong for so many days? Leaning sideways, Master Liu reached over and tried her forehead.

"It's almost okay, the master has something to do, I can go to the front to help now......" Mu Wanqiu dodged back, and turned around, "Master don't stand at the tuyere, come into the house......" raised his legs and entered the house, and saw that Master Liu was still standing at the door, and turned around, "...... I've covered my mouth tightly, and I won't infect my master. ”

Looking at her stupid back, Master Liu's chest was full of breath, and he wanted to turn his head and leave, but the pain in her back made her hesitate, and after a moment, she resolutely stepped into the house.

“…… Smell? As soon as she stepped over the threshold, a strong and dull smell came to her nose, and the choked Master Liu stumbled, and she jumped outside.

This is jasmine added bitter orange and other treatments, when the jasmine is too strong and impermeable, it becomes a smell, so Master Liu waited for half a pillar of incense, she just wanted to create this smell to smoke her.

Grabbing off the headscarf, revealing a red and purple face and pale lips, Mu Wanqiu sniffed vigorously, "...... No? There's no smell either" He turned his head to look at Master Liu, "Master, come in and smell it again, how can it smell?" Stepping forward and grabbing Master Liu, Mu Wanqiu's little finger of her left hand inadvertently crossed the tip of her nose, "Ah...... Yes...... Ahh......h

Like a frightened horse, Master Liu struggled to break free of Mu Wanqiu, jumped half a foot away, and reached out to wipe the saliva on his face in a panic.

A smile crossed the corner of her mouth, and Mu Wanqiu turned her head to look at Master Liu in fear, "...... Master, are you alright, I'm ...... I ......" she walked timidly towards Master Liu, "I didn't mean to. ”

Mu Wanqiu walked step by step, her face was red and her lips were white, and she looked like a ghost.

"Stop, don't ......" Master Liu stepped back again and again.

Mu Wanqiu forced a smile in her belly, "Master......"

"You're just standing there, don't ...... Don't ......" Master Liu waved at her again and again, "Remember, you just take care of it in the house, don't go to the front yard, do you hear?" Just about to turn around, he turned around and said, "You don't have to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year, I will ask someone to give you a red envelope ......."

Seeing Mu Wanqiu nodding in amazement, Master Liu was trotted back like a ghost.

After running out of two or three zhang, she slowed down and said secretly, "Until now, she can't smell it, it seems that she is not light, this wind and cold hurt her nose the most, just suffer from it for a few days, I must not be ......infected by her" While thinking, Master Liu subconsciously touched Baogui's nose, she, the smell in Mu Wanqiu's hut, no one can stand it.

Unless it's a noseless person.

Looking at Master Liu's disappearing back, Mu Wanqiu took off her headscarf and laughed eating.

……

In a burst of chirping birds, Mu Wanqiu opened her eyes, a glimmer of dawn was reflected through the curtains, she blinked vigorously, "I seem to have just closed my eyes, the sky is dawning, I'm really sleep......y" turned over and lay down again, for a moment, and got up again, "No, I can't sleep lazy......"

Climbed in front of the window and pushed open the south window, and a fresh breath came to my face, "...... That's nice. Mu Wanqiu closed her eyes relentlessly, took a few deep breaths, and then opened her eyes and looked at a red cloud in the east outside the window, "...... It's another sunny day, the willow leaves have sprouted, it's really fast, I've been here for almost half a year......" Looking at the new green on the willow branches outside the window, listening to the chirping of birds, Mu Wanqiu was full of emotion.

Grabbing the jacket made by the lock lady and putting it on neatly, Mu Wanqiu came to the outhouse and reached out to rummage through the spices cut last night.

Three months of hard work, her cut has already been practiced, originally more than two hours to cut ten catties of spices, she now only needs a quarter of an hour to cut it, in fact, Mu Wanqiu does not know, Wei's knife technique from the wrist, force, knife timing, up and down cycle distance, knife speed and other details of the design are higher than Li Ji's Sun Kuaishou, although Mu Wanqiu's current cut is not at the extreme, but her cutting speed has far exceeded Sun Kuaishou, at this moment, if Sun Kuaishou saw the thin incense slices flying out of her hands like snowflakes, I'm afraid I'm going to be dumbfounded.

Despite this, Mu Wanqiu is not in a hurry to cut more materials to make money, she only cuts one hour a day, and ends the work with seven or eight yuan, and the rest is used to continue to learn to smell incense, debate incense, concoct and recite the "Wei's Book of Heaven", she is just a few more hours, she doesn't earn a few more dollars, but once she passes the three-pole perfumer, even if she is just named, her salary will be several times that of now.

That's not a matter of a few bucks.

After dividing the cut spices into bags, Mu Wanqiu made another stroke on the wall with charcoal, squinted and looked at it for a long time, and nodded with satisfaction, "It's only been eighteen days this month, and I've already earned an extra hundred and fifty yuan......

Seeing that the leaky pot in front of the window was not yet full, Mu Wanqiu hesitated with the doorknob in her hand, and after a moment, she slammed the door shut and went back to the house to read the book seriously.

At this time, Sister-in-law Lin and Master Liu hadn't gotten up yet, so she didn't need to go out to sweep the yard so actively, just go to the place at four o'clock.

After fetching water and sweeping the yard, Mu Wanqiu opened the gate and propped it up with a wooden stick, and when she turned around, a freckled mother-in-law in her thirties and forties was looking into the yard.

“…… Who are you looking for? Mu Wanqiu turned around and took out the signboard and hung it up.

"This is Lin Ji......" the mother-in-law grabbed her.

"Yes...... five fingers were like pliers, pinching Mu Wanqiu's arm painfully, she shook off her mother-in-law and pointed to the signboard, "...... Isn't this written, you can't read? ”

"I don't know ......" glanced at the signboard, and the mother-in-law shook her head righteously, "If you want to be literate, you still need to be asked?" He held his chest high and looked proud.

That's right

Mu Wanqiu almost bit her tongue, she turned her head and walked towards the courtyard.

"Hey...... Ay...... You go, I haven't finished my sentence yet......" the mother-in-law trotted to catch up with her, "...... Do you have a Master Liu? Seeing that Mu Wanqiu didn't look back, "She's my aunt and grandmother......"

Yes By].
