Mu Xiao counted that there were five children in the family, three girls and two boys. The two boys looked like twins, about the same size. The eldest of the three girls was no more than thirteen, and the youngest was six years old. Dinner was goat's milk, with brown cakes made of dry wheat, and the family was happy.

When the children saw the new people coming to the house, they all ate quietly, and occasionally looked at them curiously.

After dinner, Jas's wife cleaned up the table, Jas distributed gifts to the children, and Mu Xiaoxiao and Wufeng cleaned up their things, but there was nothing to clean up.

The room was simple, with only a row of bookshelves, a table, and a bed that wasn't too wide.

Mu Xiaoxiao looked at the bed: "Chaoyang, this bed is too small." She looked back at the windless.

Wufeng's face was a little hot: "You sleep in bed tonight." He pulled out the stool.

"I have a way. Mu Xiao trotted out the door, and Jas's wife was collecting her clothes, and when she saw her come out, she stopped what she was doing.

"Sister-in-law, do you have any extra quilts?"

"Yes, there are not many beds, but there are quilts. He entered the house and walked out with a quilt in his arms.

Mu Xiaoxiao took the quilt, thanked him, and went back to the room.

"What's wrong?" asked Jas, who had just come out of the kid's room.

"The guest was afraid of the cold and came to borrow a quilt. Jas's wife looked at their room.

"They know it's too much of a temperature difference, so it's okay, just rest. Jas put his wife around and went into the house.

Mu Xiaoxiao hugged the quilt into the room, and sat on the chair without wind and pretended to sleep. She folded the two quilts into a tube, got into the quilt inside first, and patted the bed again: "Chaoyang!"

Wufeng opened his eyes.

"You sleep on this quilt outside. She pointed to the quilt outside, but there was no wind but it didn't move.

"Come here. Mu Xiaoxiao shouted.

Wufeng's eyes flashed: "No need for me to ......"

"What are you, it takes three or five days for the house to be completed, isn't it possible that you sit every night? I don't care, what are you shy about?" Mu Xiaoxiao interrupted him without waiting for him to finish.

Seeing that he was still hesitating, Mu Xiaoxiao jumped out of bed, pulled Wufeng to the side of the bed, and entered the quilt inside, she was like a silkworm, arching one arch after another, and finally her body got in, revealing only a pair of black eyes.

Seeing her staring at herself, Wufeng suddenly felt that she was too sensitive, a woman is not informal, she is a man, and she can't be so petty.

He rolled over and lay down, pulling the quilt and covering himself. Mu Xiaoxiao laughed twice, closed his eyes, and began to dream. She hadn't slept well in any time, and soon she was asleep.

Wufeng turned his head to look at her back, and after a while, he stretched out his hand and extinguished the candle.

When Mu Xiaoxiao woke up, it was already dawn, she opened her eyes lazily, the quilt next to her was neatly folded, and there was no wind. She got up, washed her face, and changed into a spare set of clothes, then she remembered that she had been washing the clothes that Ao Dai had washed before, this time she came to Java, and she didn't let Ao Dai follow, and Ao Dai went back to Jingting first, and she had to wash the clothes herself.

She went out of the room with her clothes in her arms, and no one was there except for Jas's wife and two twin sons.

"Are you awake?" Jas's wife stood up when she saw Mu Xiaoxiao, and Mu Xiaoxiao saw that she was doing laundry.

Mu Xiaoxiao picked up a wooden basin next to him, fetched a basin of water, put his clothes in the basin, and kneaded them with his hands.

"You men's clothes are always unclean, so let me go. She took a bowl of goat's milk and handed it to Mu Xiaoxiao.

Mu Xiaoxiao shook his hand and hurriedly took a drink. He handed her the bowl again.

"It's okay, we walk a lot, and we still wash our clothes. Mu Xiaoxiao took the laundry water next to her, which was made of soap, she scooped out a spoonful and splashed it on her clothes, and rubbed it a few times.

Jas's wife, who looked at her like a familiar hand, did not insist any longer, and sat down again, picked up her clothes, and washed them.

Mu Xiaoxiao finished washing the clothes and hung them on the bamboo pole again, and then asked where the wind was going.

Following where she said, after Mu Xiaoxiao walked through the three rows of houses, she saw a wooden frame in the open space at the far end of the fourth row. Mu Xiaoxiao saw one or twenty men shirtless, sawing wood and nailing the roof of the house.

When I got closer, it turned out to be a caravan person, no wonder it looked familiar.

"Master, should this window be bigger?" called a man.

She turned around and saw that it was Bodo, holding a wooden box, looking at the roof.

Following her gaze, Wufeng, dressed in close-fitting clothes, was nailing the roof of the house to the frame.

"Yes, bigger and better. He said without raising his head, and a group of people were busy going around. Mu Xiaoxiao trotted back to Jas's house, Jas's wife boiled water and made tea, and Mu Xiaoxiao carried two clay pots of water to the back. The two daughters of the Jas family also helped carry the bowls, and the three of them talked and laughed all the way.

When she arrived at the new house, she brought water to a group of people, and ran back and forth twice. For lunch, everyone went to Jas's house, and a group of people drank goat's milk and ate brown cakes, and were happy. Mu Xiaoxiao was also infected by this atmosphere.

In the afternoon, when the men all went to work in the new house, Mu Xiaoxiao asked Jas's wife where she had sweet greens.

Jas's wife called her eldest daughter, Jia Jinling, and the two carried baskets on their backs and went to the jungle to dig wild vegetables. In less than a pillar of incense, the two dug two large baskets, and when they returned home, Jas's wife had already sifted the rough noodles with a cloth bag according to Mu Xiaoxiao's command, and sifted out some flour that was finer than the rough noodles.

"Brother, this is the rod that Brother Mu has made. Jas's second daughter, Jia Yinling, held a cylindrical piece of wood the thickness of a man's arm.

Mu Xiaoxiao rubbed the flour into the ceramic basin and rubbed it in two pots, she asked Jas's wife to learn to knead the dough with her, and asked Jin Ling and Yinling to help wash the vegetables.

Mu Xiaoxiao kneaded the dough while adding water, and after a while, he kneaded the dough into a ball, Jas's wife learned quickly, the two kneaded the dough, Mu Xiaoxiao began to roll the noodles with a stick, and after rolling a ball, Jas's wife sprinkled some flour and put the noodles on it, and after rolling the noodles, Mu Xiaoxiao was tired and sweating.

There is no ginger here, but there is garlic, and Mu Xiaoxiao peeled five balls of garlic and put them in a large porcelain bowl, which is half a bowl. She picked up the rod again and pounded it with all her might, until it was crumbled, and she grabbed two more handfuls of salt and put them in it.

"Is there vinegar?" asked Mu Xiaoxiao to Jas's wife.

"What is vinegar?" Jas's wife looked confused.

"It's like water, sour. She explained.

"No," said Jas's wife, who thought for a moment,9 asked, "I have here a fruit that I have picked and made in jars, and which has not been made now, but it is very similar to the one you said, sour, like water." ”

Mu Xiaoxiao looked surprised: "You scoop a bowl and come to me to see." ”

Jas's wife scooped the bowl, and Mu Xiaoxiao tasted it, and sure enough, it was about the same, but this one was a little sweet. She scooped three spoonfuls with a wooden spoon, put a little lard, and put cold boiled water.

A group of men entered the house, a bonfire was lit in the yard, and a group of people drank wine and waited for food. Mu Xiaoxiao burned a big fire and began to cook noodles, boiling a pot and a pot, the men had never eaten such a meal, although it looked ordinary, but with the fragrance of wild vegetables, this rice had a unique taste.

Everyone returned to the bowl, and Mu Xiao wiped his sweat a little, and then he showed a smile. After tidying up the kitchen, Mu Xiaoxiao washed up, changed into clean underwear, and got into the quilt. , she was tired and didn't want to move, so she lay down and fell asleep.

Wufeng and Jas had two more drinks before entering the house. There was no light in the room, but he still found the bed accurately, and listening to the sound of breathing in his ears, he exhaled deeply, and then turned over and got into bed.

As soon as the day dawned, he got up without wind, and Mu Xiaoxiao asked in a daze, "Do you want to be so early?"

Wufeng put on his coat: "Well, it's still early, you can sleep a little longer." ”

He folded the quilt and went out. Mu Xiaoxiao waited for dawn and got up to help Jas's wife make breakfast. Dinner was made with fine flour left over from yesterday. Mu Xiaoxiao kneaded the dough again, rolled it into a sheet with a stick, put lard in it, rolled it up again, and then dragged it into a small dough, and finally rolled it into a round dough sheet.

She took the iron that she usually used to make brown cakes, put some lard on it, and baked ten cakes. There were some wild vegetables left over from last night, so she fried them and put them on a plate.

When the men came back and drank the goat's milk, they saw the flatbread, which was now cut into small pieces. When they took a bite, they were full of praise, and Mu Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief, and the fact that others can like to eat is a recognition of their cooking skills.

Jas's wife saw that her husband seemed to love food too, so she asked Mu Xiaoxiao to teach herself, and she happily agreed. So, after that, Mu Xiaoxiao only moved his mouth, and Jas's wife did, and the two of them worked in the kitchen all day, tired and happy.

After about six days, the new house was built, and a group of people were happy to drink and celebrate, but Jas stopped: "When Brother Mu moves into a new house, we will go to get drunk again." ”

When he said this, all the people agreed. So, Mu Xiaoxiao and Wufeng decided to move the day after tomorrow because Jas's wife said that the night after tomorrow was an auspicious day for the zodiac.
