Lin Xiaoman and his group had a happy meal in town, while at home, Mu Huaqiang came back before lunch, and the two grown men waited anxiously for him to return. Unfortunately, the smoke from every household rose and gradually dissipated. More than an hour after lunchtime, no one came back.
The two grown men who couldn't cook were so hungry that their chests were sticking to their backs. They had to do it themselves. Because they added too much water, the rice ended up being mushy, but at least it was cooked.
Since I don’t know how to cook, I could only make some ready-made pickled vegetables, and that was how I had my lunch.
After dinner, the two of them carried their hoes and went to the fields to work.
Shopping is definitely a pleasant thing for both body and mind. After dinner, Lin Xiaoman and his friends went shopping for a long time, and did not go back until around three o'clock in the afternoon.
When I got home, no one was there. I didn't see Mu Weimin and Mu Huaqiang, and I was too lazy to look for them. They would be back by dinner time anyway.
Lan Yachun went to feed the livestock, Mu Xiaoxiao studied while watching Mu Xiaole, and Lin Xiaoman went into the kitchen with Wang Cuifen.
When in town, Lin Xiaoman went to visit Aunt Xiao again and bought some dried tofu, which he braised with the 2 pounds of meat he had just bought.
It was time for dinner when Mu Weimin and Mu Huaqiang came back carrying hoes. As soon as they came back, the two men said in unison, "We are so tired", "We have been turning the soil all day", "We have been weeding all day"... Anyway, the implicit meaning of their words was: We are not lazy, we really work!
After carefully examining the two of them, Lin Xiaoman felt scared. Just when Mu Weimin and Mu Huaqiang were worried that Lin Xiaoman was about to get to the bottom of it and expose their laziness, Lin Xiaoman ignored them and went to the kitchen to get some food.
Now they were no longer acting like the bosses. The two men who had gotten away with it quickly put away their farm tools and went into the kitchen to serve themselves some food.
There was meat on the table, but there was not enough for two people. Mu Huaqiang wanted to take some, but Lin Xiaoman took it with his chopsticks.
"As long as tonight passes!" Staring at the meat angrily, Mu Weimin and Mu Huaqiang silently comforted themselves.
After dinner, nothing unusual happened until everyone returned to their rooms.
Lin Xiaoman: The calm before the storm!
Although the thoughts of the two scumbags, Mu Weimin and Mu Huaqiang, cannot be said to be fully written on their faces, they can be seen clearly with a few careful glances.
Although I don't know their specific plan, it's just to marry her off and kick her out of the house. The most likely person is Liu Mazi from Liujiaba.
Lin Xiaoman is not worried at all about them being a bunch of weaklings.
In the evening, Lin Xiaoman usually taught Mu Xiaoxiao some fighting skills. Although it was very hot in the summer and she was sweating profusely in a short while, Mu Xiaoxiao still learned seriously.
After the training, I simply washed up and lay down. Because it was hot, I couldn’t fall asleep for a while.
Mu Xiaoxiao complained about the heat, and Lin Xiaoman said she must buy an electric fan next summer. So, the two of them fanned themselves with palm-leaf fans while talking...
"Ring, ring, ring..."
"Xiaoxiao, did you hear that?"
"Hmm...it sounds like a bicycle bell. Sister, it's so late, and there are still people riding bicycles outside. Where are they going?" Mu Xiaoxiao looked surprised.
"Dad and brother are going to cause trouble!" Lin Xiaoman sneered. Their family is the last one in Hexi. Even if someone travels at night, they cannot pass by their door!
"Ah, what?" Mu Xiaoxiao exploded and sat up suddenly. "What do they want to do so late at night?"
"They're probably looking for a marriage for me, and then they'll have the man kidnap me!"
"What!?" Mu Xiaoxiao widened her eyes, her expression filled with shock and anger.
After staying there for two seconds, Mu Xiaoxiao immediately jumped off the bed, threw herself on the ground without caring about the dirt, crawled under the bed, and when she moved out, she had a wooden stick in her hand that was as thick as her arm and more than one meter long.
"Sister, weapons!"
Lin Xiaoman took it and waved it. It was a very sturdy stick and was very useful as a weapon.
"I'm going to go out and find out what's going on!"
"No need." Lin Xiaoman made a gesture to keep quiet, walked to the door, quietly opened a crack, and looked out.
The lobby was still pitch black. I listened carefully and heard the sound of bicycles getting closer and closer, and it wasn't just one.
After a few seconds, the car seemed to stop, and then, "ring~ring~ring~"
The bicycle bell rang rhythmically three times, as if it was a secret signal. At this moment, the door of Mu Weimin and Wang Cuifen's room next door opened gently.
While Mu Weimin was still there, Lin Xiaoman quietly closed the door and then listened carefully while sticking close to the door panel.
…
On the other hand, in the morning, after Mu Huaqiang came and talked to Liu Mazi, Liu Mazi told his family. Then in the evening, after dinner, Liu Mazi, his father and mother, an aunt and her cousin, a group of five people, set off with two bicycles and a tricycle.
They arrived near Mujia Village before dark. As it was still early, the group found an open space and waited for more than an hour.
Seeing that it was getting dark and every household had turned off the lights, the group quietly entered the village under the cover of night and then arrived at the last house on the west side of the river.
He took a closer look in the starlight and found that it was similar to Mu Huaqiang's description. After confirming that this was the house, Liu Mazi gave the signal.
After hearing the secret signal, Mu Huaqiang in the next room, who was already unable to sleep due to excitement, became even more excited. He was so excited that he wanted to jump up and help.
