Mu Jiu thought about it, his steps were brisk, and he only hoped that he could go home soon.

Now, the house that Aunt Mu Jiu gave them to live in is their home for the time being.

Mu Hongli squatted in front of the door very seriously, and when he saw Mu Jiu, he greeted him excitedly, "Sister, you're back!" ”

"Hmm."

Mu Hongli's efforts, Mu Jiu saw it in his eyes and was deeply grateful.

It is not terrible to be poor and weak, but it is terrible to accept fate, thinking that you will be poor and weak for the rest of your life, and you are willing to bow to fate!

Mu Hongli is not a thing in the pool!

Mu Jiu walked directly into the room, put down the back basket, carefully took out the lingzhi, and found another piece of rag clothes to wrap up.

Then he took the wolf cub out and wrapped it in a tattered garment.

Seeing the wolf cub at first glance, Mu Hongli thought it was a puppy, his eyes were shining with joy, and he stuck to Mu Jiu and asked, "Sister, where did you get the puppy." ”

Puppy?

That's a majestic wolf!

But Mu Jiu didn't tell Mu Hongli, and said along Mu Hongli, "I picked it up on the road, let's raise it, maybe we can protect me and my mother." ”

Mu Hongli nodded seriously, "I hope to raise a very large dog." ”

"Don't worry, you'll definitely have a big one." Mu Jiu's careful wolf cub was put back into the back basket and placed it in the corner of the room.

Seeing the wolf cub, Mu Hongli suddenly thought of something and was puzzled, "Sister, if you get your clothes dirty, we won't have any clothes to wear." ”

"It's okay, I'll buy you a new one tomorrow."

Lingzhi is regarded as the maintenance fee given to her by the she-wolf, and she can't ignore the little wolf cubs.

"We don't have any money." Mu Hongli lowered his head, "I don't know how much the medicinal materials we collected in the past two days can be sold, so I want to buy a new dress for my mother." ”

"We'll buy them all."

"I don't want to, I'm a boy, it's okay to be shirtless on a hot day."

Mu Jiu, "......"

Shirtless?

I don't know why, I suddenly thought of Lin Changsheng, he is so strong, if he is shirtless, his figure will definitely be perfect.

"Sister, what are you thinking? Don't worry, even if it's cold now, my body is great, and it's not cold in my torn clothes. ”

Mu Jiu rubbed Mu Hongli's head dotingly, "Silly boy, how can it not be cold, don't worry, we will have money to buy clothes, believe sister." ”

Mu Hong nodded with his strength, "Okay!" ”

"Let's go, go cook some rice soup and feed that little guy."

"Then I'll go and light the fire!" Mu Hongli went out of the room first.

After two quarters of an hour, the hot rice soup was cooked, and the aroma of rice grains was emitted in the air.

Mu Jiu couldn't help but sigh, when they were in the Mu family, they couldn't even drink rice soup, but now it's good, although the house and rice are borrowed, they can have a good meal, and people are relaxed and happy.

put the rice soup on the ground to dry, and told Mu Hongli to take care of it, so Mu Jiu took the sickle and went out.

There is a row of bamboos growing by the small river at the edge of the village, and the villagers usually weave bamboo things and cut bamboo here.

Mu Jiu cut a small piece, and when he went home, he took the wolf cub out.

"Sister, I'll hug you, will you feed you?" Mu Hongli chased after Mu Jiu, rubbing his hands, eager to try.

Mu Jiu put the wolf cub into Mu Hongli's hands.

At this time, the hair on the wolf cub's body is already dry, shaggy, and soft.

Mu Hongli's eyes lit up, "It's so cute!" ”

"Hmm." Mu Jiu first put the rice soup into the bamboo cut into pieces, and then slowly poured it into the wolf cub's mouth.

She was ready not to eat the wolf cubs.

Who knows, probably the wolf cub is hungry and sucks it heavily.

A piece of rice soup in the bamboo was quickly eaten, and the wolf cub still maintained the action of sucking and sucking, squinting and falling asleep.

Mu Hongli was overjoyed, "It's so cute! ”

"Okay, hurry up and put it in the back basket, and my mother will finish work later, let's go cook."

"I'll go! Sister, you rest for a while. Mu Hongli quickly put the wolf cub away and ran out.

What a sensible child!

Mu Jiu did not rest, but put away the medicinal herbs and piled them up in the corner of the room.

After she had collected all the medicinal herbs, the already small room suddenly seemed cramped, and there was no place to put her feet.

As the sun sets, the villagers go home with smoke curling.

The autumn wind took away the last trace of the day, and Mu Jiu gathered the thin clothes on his body, which was a little cold!

Even if she didn't turn her ragged clothes into a wolf cub, she wouldn't be able to wear her original clothes.

Because of this time, his height suddenly jumped, and the pants he was wearing were a long time shorter, exposing an ankle.

"Jiu'er! Mother is back! Li Xiaotao's voice sounded outside the door.

Mu Jiu opened the door and saw the dumbfounded Li Xiaotao standing at the door, "Jiu'er, you actually pile so much?" ”

Mu Jiu didn't hide it from Li Xiaotao, and also told her that this was a medicinal herb, so Li Xiaotao was even more happy, "We have hope for the future!" ”

"yes, it'll be fine." Mu Jiu moved out of the way a little and let Li Xiaotao in.

Li Xiaotao retreated, "I won't go in first, I'll cook for you first." ”

At this time, Mu Hongli's crisp voice shouted next door, "Mother! Let's eat! ”

Li Xiaotao ran over in surprise, but reprimanded, "Who asked you to cook!" ”

Mu Hongli thought that he would be praised for his work, but what he didn't expect was a fierce blow to his head and face, and his eyes were red with grievance, and he shouted flatteringly, "Mother-"

Li Xiaotao should not ask him, "Cooking is a woman's business, don't cook again in the future!" ”

Mu Jiu didn't like to hear this, walked out of the room, and went to the next door, "Mother, raising a family is a man's business, aren't you also doing it?" ”

Li Xiaotao's throat tightened in discomfort, "That's a last resort." ”

Mu Jiu pulled her to Cao Dunzi and sat down, and said softly, "Mother, I don't think so. If you think about it, ordinary women are dependent on men to live, but we are also like ordinary women, it is estimated that we are either beaten to death by our grandparents or have starved to death.

So we are different from ordinary people, Manulife cooks, it doesn't mean that he will not be productive in the future, he just knows how to care, knows how to appreciate your hard work, and wants you to come back to rest for a while.

Such a sensible child, you should not criticize him, but praise him, be glad for him, and be proud of the son who raised a gentleman who did not hesitate to wash his hands and make soup in order to love his mother. ”

Li Xiaotao, "What do you mean?" ”

Mu Jiu, "......"

Forgot about it for a while.

"Anyway, Manulife can abandon the traditional idea that men don't cook and cook dinner for his mother, which shows that he is a big man who can bend and stretch, and he will be a big man in the future!"

Li Xiaotao likes to listen to this, but she still can't accept it, "Don't cook it in the future, wait for me to come back and cook it, otherwise Jiu'er, you will work harder." ”

With Mu Jiu's precedent, Mu Hongli also spoke out against it, "Mother, I am a man in the family, I should do something for this family, I am not doing bad things when I cook, and it is not something unseemly." ”

"You kid! You're going to be laughed at by others in the future! ”

Mu Hongli didn't care, "Mother, there are a few people who don't laugh at us now, compared to now, how bad can it be, Manulife is not afraid of being laughed at, one day, Manulife will make them dare not laugh!" ”

Mu Hongli looked into the distance, and his small body seemed to contain infinite energy.

His eyes were firm, and his thin shoulders seemed to have the ability to carry Wan Jun.

Mu Jiu supported his younger brother for the first time, "Mother, I agree with my brother's words, those who want to laugh at us, no matter what we do, they will laugh, if we care too much, we will lose, why live in the eyes of others, we just have to be happy." ”

Saying that, she asked Mu Hongli to get the bowl, she brought the rice down the stove, served a bowl of rice to everyone, didn't even have vegetables, and devoured the white rice with a gobble.

I'm really hungry, so I don't pay so much attention to it.

Li Xiaotao's entanglement couldn't resist the temptation of rice, so she put it down for the time being, picked up the rice and ate it in a big gulp.

"It smells so good!" Mu Hongli is the most lively.

"Eat more to grow taller."

"Sister, you don't know, when I was at my grandfather's house, everyone said: Manulife, you haven't done anything all day long, just eat a little, you can't eat more."

"Don't worry, you can eat more in the future, as long as you don't eat, you can eat as much as you want!"

Li Xiaotao, "This kid, the rice is borrowed, let's save some food, otherwise we won't even have to drink porridge one day." ”

Mu Hongli stuffed rice into his mouth, and he couldn't say it clearly.

Mu Jiu swallowed the rice and smiled, "Mother, you just put your heart in your stomach, Jiu'er has a way to make money to buy rice, and you don't have to worry about being hungry in the future!" ”

is used to the days of not having enough to eat, and suddenly one day on, eating fragrant rice every day, Li Xiaotao always feels unsteady, "In short, I still feel too wasteful." ”

"Mother, we didn't pour it out, we all went into the stomach, how could it be wasted?"

"But ......"

"Alright, alright! Mother, it's time to eat! If you don't eat it, we won't have any candles when it gets dark. ”

Li Xiaotao wanted to come, so she ate quietly.

After eating, Mu Jiu boiled the water, and when it got dark, he wiped his body in the room indiscriminately before going to the floor.

Mu Hongli was already asleep, making an even breathing sound.

Although he was thirteen years old, it was not appropriate to live in the same bed with his brother like this.

But in a hurry, Mu Jiu lay down with peace of mind, and seeing that Li Xiaotao was not asleep, he whispered, "Mother, you don't have to work for the forest landlord tomorrow." ”

She got the Ganoderma lucidum, which she could sell for a good price and live a good life in the future.

"No, we still owe Lin fifteen meters."

"Mother, have you seen the medicinal herbs in the room? We can sell it for a good price. ”

"Jiu'er, it's not that my mother doesn't believe you, but my mother has already gone to work in the forest landlord's field, and she has to finish the work before she can pay the money, and if you don't go now, the work she did a few days ago will be in vain."

This rule is so hateful!

Mu Jiu also wanted to persuade: Do it for nothing, at least you won't be so tired in the future, and the daily salary is too low!

But before he said anything, he was robbed by Li Xiaotao and said, "Jiu'er, my mother believes that you will be a capable person in the future, but my mother is used to working every day, and suddenly she doesn't do anything, she will feel unsteady and very uneasy." ”

"I see."

In the future, when she has money, she will buy her own land, so that Li Xiaotao has something to do without having to work too hard.
