CHAPTER XXVI
Mu Mu bit the bead but didn't eat it, but ran to Lin Musen's leg and rubbed his head against him, as if he wanted to ask for credit.
Lin Musen felt that Mu Mu was rubbing him, and he was still coquettish to him as a little guy, so Lin Musen picked it up.
"What's the matter, Mumu, do you still like your new home?" said Lin Musen with a smile.
Mu Mu's cute face was also looking at Lin Musen's watery eyes, and then it opened its mouth, and the bead the size of a glass bead fell out of Mu Mu's mouth.
Lin Musen looked at the beads, looked at Mu Mu curiously, and continued to ask, "This can't be eaten, you can't be hungry, right?"
Mu Mu didn't know what Lin Musen would say, he stuck out his tongue and continued to be stupid, shaking his body as if he was going to come down, so Lin Musen put it on the ground, only to see Mu Mu start to wave in the peach forest again, smell here, run there.
Although it still has a leg with a discounted cast, it is not very slow to run.
Lin Musen looked at Mu Mu, who was playing happily, and was sincerely happy, he looked at the bead again, but he didn't look closely, he thought it was the marble he had fallen here before.
Pick it up, wipe the saliva on the marbles on his clothes, and put it in his trouser pocket, and it will always make people happy to find lost items.
Looking at Mu Mu who was playing, Lin Musen thought about bringing the spring water back, so he walked to the wall, found a low rock, jumped up with both hands, and then Lin Musheng determined the direction and walked towards the spring in the back mountain.
There was originally a path leading to the spring from Lin Musen's home, but it had been covered by various shrubs and weeds for more than two years.
After walking for about five or six minutes, there was no one in the woods, and the woods were particularly quiet, only the unknown birds on the side of the mountain would break the silence here, but it would seem very deserted.
Lin Musen had come to a small cave at this time, and the spring water gushed out of the cave, and it was never interrupted throughout the year.
So when the water in the cave was full, a small river was gradually formed, and the villagers used the cut bamboo to place it where the small river came out, and in this way introduced the spring water to their homes.
Lin Musen enjoyed the beautiful scenery here, because he came with his own bamboo water pipe, so after looking around for a while, he reconnected the bamboo water pipe to the river.
The clear spring water flowed to the bamboo water pipe, and the leaves and gravel that fell on it were washed away, and the spring water quickly flowed towards the water tank of Lin Musen's old house, as if injecting new blood into the old house and reviving it.
The small river formed by the spring water will flow into the bamboo forest in the back mountain, and then it will continue to flow into the mountain, and Lin Musen will not plan to go to the bamboo forest to see the spring water when it is connected, but walk back in the direction he just came.
Jumping back from the rock, Lin Musen returned to the backyard, Mu Mu had a lot of fun, and he didn't notice Lin Musen's departure at all.
Lin Musen had already heard the sound of trickling water, he walked to the kitchen to see that the spring water flowed into the water tank through the bamboo water pipe, he had just connected the pipe, and now there was a small half tank of water.
Lin Musen rolled up his sleeves and was about to pick up the scoop next to him to scoop water, when he suddenly heard someone in the front yard shouting to him.
"Komori, if you're not at home, you're not ...... you're not there."
The voice is familiar, it is the voice of the second uncle.
Lin Musen hurriedly stopped wanting to start cleaning, and shouted outside, "Yes, I'll come out immediately." So he hurried out.
"What's the matter, Second Uncle, is there anything wrong?" Lin Musen walked out of the kitchen, saw the Second Uncle's spirited appearance, and asked.
When the second uncle saw Lin Musen coming out, he said to him: "Xiao Sen, you look at this noon, you just came back and you didn't prepare anything, let's go to my house for lunch first." ”
When Lin Musen heard this, he was hesitating, and the second uncle jokingly said again: "Xiao Sen, just eat an ordinary meal, is it difficult for the second uncle to pull you there." ”
"This, okay, but second uncle, you wait a minute, I'll get something. ”
Lin Musen felt that he couldn't refuse, the second uncle was his elder, and everyone came to invite you, so he agreed, if he still refused, it would be a bit hypocritical, and he really didn't have lunch yet.
As for Mu Mu, Lin Musen still has two large bags of dog food in his suitcase, which should be able for him to eat for a while.
It's really not embarrassing to come to eat empty-handed like this, although it's a relative.
At this time, Lin Musen remembered that the boss seemed to have prepared some health products and wine for him, and he was in the car, so Lin Musen asked the second uncle to wait.
Lin Musen picked out a box of health care products for the elderly from a pile of gifts, cigarettes and alcohol in the trunk of the car, as well as a cigarette and a box of wine.
closed the trunk and walked towards their house with the second uncle, at this time, Lin Musen began to change his opinion of the boss and their behavior, and he was quite thoughtful.
Close the door of the old house, and then follow the second uncle to walk down the slope, on the way, the second uncle saw Lin Musen take the gift out, so he kept refusing to ask Lin Musen to take it back, saying that it was just to eat an ordinary meal and carry something.
Lin Musen said that these were originally intended to be brought to visit him, and this dinner was considered an early visit, and the second uncle gave up when he heard Lin Musen say this.
When he started to walk halfway, Lin Musen saw that there were several houses in the village that were even more dilapidated than Lin Musen's old house, and some of them could already be regarded as ruins.
I didn't pay attention to it when I came back just now, but now that I found it, Lin Musen asked the second uncle curiously: "Second uncle, what's going on with those dilapidated houses?"
"Moved away, all moved away from more than 20 households, and now the young people have gone out to work, and they have moved away after making money, who wants to stay in this ravine, only we old and young are left. ”
The second uncle sighed and explained to Lin Musen.
"Did my uncle move too?" I asked this because he saw a very dilapidated house that didn't even have a gate, which seemed to be his uncle's house.
The second uncle glanced at Lin Musen and continued to explain: "I moved, your uncle and third uncle have moved away, as if they were done the year before last, I heard that your uncle seems to have bought a house in the city............
Lin Musen's father is the second oldest in the family, with a brother and a brother, two sisters and a younger sister, which can be regarded as a relatively populous family, but it's a pity......
Lin Musen was just curious to ask if his two relatives had moved, but he didn't expect the second uncle to start talking about their trivial matters, buying a house, what he did to make money, his cousin, how about his cousin, and Lin Musen's aunt and second aunt were married and had not been in touch for many years.
The second uncle had a bunch of them, but Lin Musen didn't want to understand them, and he didn't seem to have anything to do with them, but the second uncle was talking energetically, and Lin Musen had to pretend to listen carefully.
On the way, I met a few villagers, and the second uncle was afraid that others would not know him, so he introduced Lin Musen to them, and Lin Musen responded very politely, and he really knew some people.
It wasn't until they arrived at the second uncle's house that the second uncle's mouth began to stop.
Suddenly he felt that his ears were much better, eh, he knew this was the case, Lin Musen would not ask anything, and his mouth was owed.
After entering the gate, Lin Musen saw a black-and-white-haired old woman carrying food to the square table.
At this time, there was a round little fat man on the table, about six years old, who was staring at the braised pork in the middle of the table and was salivaing, and was about to catch it with his hands, but the old lady found it and hit it, and obediently retracted it.
Seeing this familiar scene, Lin Musheng remembered that he was also beaten like this when he was a child, and he really missed it, and this old grandmother was Lin Musen's second grandmother.
The second uncle entered the gate and walked to the courtyard and said, "Old woman, Xiao Sen is here, have you made all the dishes?"
"There's also a soup, I'll go and eat it, Komori, and I'll eat it right away. Xiaolong, don't use your hands to grab it, grandma will help you take chopsticks. ”
The second grandmother looked a little younger than the second uncle, her voice was very hearty, she first said hello to Lin Musen, and then said to the little fat man on the table, and then went to the kitchen.
The structure of the house is similar to that of Lin Musen's old house, except that the front yard here is two fences, and there are some chickens and ducks in it.
Hearing the second grandmother say this, the second uncle let Lin Musen sit on the stool first.
