Chapter 36 Chapter 36 Daily life of the three families.
As soon as Mu Fugui saw his daughter's expression, he knew what she was thinking. "Don't even think about it happening again."
When Liu Shuangcui came out of the kitchen and passed by, she also gave Mu Mian a warning look.
These girls and boys in the family are all troublesome. When Mu Zhuo was in his teens, he dared to swim in the deep water of the river.
It's no use beating him, he will dare to do it again next time.
My younger sister was braver and dared to run to the mountains when she was eight or nine years old.
The brother and sister together are really brave enough to fight like a tiger.
Mu Mian, whose little trick was discovered, chuckled, "I didn't think about it~"
It was no use for her to think about it, as Shi Xiaolian said there was no more.
---
Because the family had just added a considerable amount of money, Mu Mian smiled while washing up, and wanted to sing a song right there and then...
We, the common people, are so happy today! !
When I was having breakfast, I scooped half a bowl of rice extra. It is said that when one is in a good mood, one’s appetite will be good.
Mu Fugui was tired after a whole night and planned to go to sleep after breakfast. It just so happened that he had a day off today.
At the dinner table.
Mu Fugui was eating and looked at his daughter twice as if he remembered something.
Mu Mian looked up, "Dad, why are you looking at me?"
Mu Fugui stared at his daughter's hand, "Let me see if your hand is okay."
Speaking of Mu Fugui, I am a little amazed. That big head is not light at all. I don’t know how his daughter dragged it?
Mu Mian shook his hand, "It's okay, there's no skin broken at all."
Mu Fugui: "You are really strong. Last night, your fourth uncle and younger uncle were exhausted from lifting it together."
The two grown men were panting all the way.
Mu Mian: "Of course it's heavy to carry. I dragged it because it saves effort. I can't lift the big one."
It's about 300 kilograms. It would be scary if she could carry it now.
But maybe she can when she grows up.
Zhao Meihua: "It's hundreds of kilograms, how much effort can you save? Don't try to do these things in the future. Our family doesn't lack that little money. He's still young, his bones haven't grown well yet, if you press too hard, you'll be careful not to grow tall in the future."
Mu Mian shook his head like a rattle, "No, no, I won't do it anymore!"
Besides, there weren't so many wild boars for her to catch.
Liu Shuangcui ate two mouthfuls of porridge and glanced at her daughter. "Now she looks very well behaved."
Mu Mian smiled sweetly at her mother, "She is actually very well behaved, and is like mom's little cotton-padded jacket~"
Liu Shuangcui snorted, "I can't stand wearing a cotton jacket in this hot weather."
Mu Fugui is a man who dotes on his daughter without any limit, "I can bear it, put it on me!"
Liu Shuangcui glared at her man and said, "Go and rest after you finish eating. You're not tired after working all night, are you?"
It would have been fine if he hadn't said that. As soon as he said that, Mu Fugui yawned loudly and said, "Then I'll go to sleep for two hours."
Mu Fugui can take a rest, but the other three people in the family cannot because they still have things to do.
With so much meat, we must share some with our family.
Mu Xinglong and Mu Xingwang already had some, so Liu Shuangcui planned to ride her bike to deliver some to Mu Mian's aunt, uncle and two aunts.
If people get sick with something, they will send it to them.
Zhao Meihua took out some of the remaining ten kilograms and marinated it with salt so that it could be stored longer.
Mu Mian also had a mission, and the things that should be given to Shi Xiaolian had not been delivered to her yet.
It was agreed before that in addition to the money, Shi Xiaolian would also want some meat, not much, just five pounds in total.
After all, their family is small, just three of them, mother and daughter.
Mu Mian hid the meat in her small backpack, then took the money that Comrade Mu Fugui had given her and walked straight towards Shi Xiaolian's house.
When he arrived at the gate of Shi Xiaolian's house, the first person Mu Mian saw was Tian Hongjuan.
Tian Hongjuan also saw the person at the same time and smiled gently, "Xiaomi, are you here to play with Xiaolian?"
Mu Mian nodded, "Yeah, is Auntie home?"
Tian Hongjuan: “Yes.”
Then he shouted into the house.
Shi Xiaolian came out quickly, and the two of them walked around the courtyard wall to a deserted place nearby.
Mu Mian said as he walked, "Didn't you tell your mom and sister that you came back yesterday?"
Aunt Hongjuan looked like she knew nothing just now, and she thought they were just simply making an appointment to go out and have fun.
Shi Xiaolian: "I'll talk to you later."
Mu Mian understood immediately that the main idea was to delay.
After all, if a child runs near the mountains, he or she will be scolded by his or her parents.
Even if it was 'accidental'.
Mu Mian didn't waste any words. He took out the meat and gave it to Shi Xiaolian. Then he took out three big unity notes and one five-yuan note from his pocket. "That's thirty-five in total."
Shi Xiaolian took it without counting, "Thank you."
After saying that, she took a step forward and prepared to go home.
Mu Mian stopped him, "Why don't you ask how much you got in total? Aren't you afraid that I'll take what you have?"
Shi Xiaolian stopped and said calmly: "Then are you greedy?"
Mu Mian snorted twice and smiled what he thought was a very cold smile, "Maybe~"
Shi Xiaolian glanced at the person speechlessly.
What on earth is this person's misunderstanding of his own appearance? It's obvious that he can't be cool at all, okay?
Mu Mian made a "tsk" sound. That's what she said. This guy really has no sense of humor at all.
However, although Shi Xiaolian didn't ask, Mu Mian still explained the situation.
For win-win cooperation, integrity comes first.
Now pork at the meat station costs 50 or 60 cents a pound, and you need a meat ticket.
If you exchange money with others outside, you don't need meat coupons, but it will be much more expensive, starting from 70 or 80 cents, or even more.
Comrade Mu Fugui sold it yesterday at 45 cents a whole head, which is actually not a high price.
If the middleman resells the product, there will still be at least a profit margin of 30 or 40 cents.
But there is nothing we can do about it. The weather is still hot now, and the meat won’t last long, so the price will naturally go down.
After Mu Mian finished his account with Shi Xiaolian, he asked, "That's about it. Do you have any questions?"
Shi Xiaolian said silently: "I didn't have any problem in the first place, it's you who insisted on making it so clear."
If she didn't trust Mu Mian, she wouldn't have looked for someone to cooperate with.
Although this person's appearance is very deceptive, there is definitely no problem with his character.
You know, when they were not familiar with each other, this man would return the hundred yuan he found to her.
It can be seen that he has good intentions.
Mu Mian didn't know that Shi Xiaolian had a high opinion of her. She touched her nose and said, "Okay, no problem. I'll go back then. You should also go back and act with your mother and sister."
Being a child is not easy, you need to act out whatever you want anytime and anywhere.
When Mu Mian said this, there was a hint of gloating in his smile, "I'll give you a reference. My mom and grandma have told me more than three times since last night."
The central idea is...
If she goes to those dangerous places again, she will be spanked next time.
However, Mu Mian felt that her mother would definitely not really hit her, after all, she had never been beaten since she was a child.
Directly defeated 99 percent of the kids in the team.
Mu Mian was still here feeling "so lonely", while Shi Xiaolian next to her had a headache on her face. Her mother probably wouldn't say anything to her, but would just look at her with guilt and red eyes.
It would be better to give her a scolding.
Thinking of this, Shi Xiaolian slowed down her pace as she carried the meat and money home.
But this has nothing to do with Mu Mian.
She was carrying an empty backpack and when she got home she found Comrade Mu Xinglong was actually in her house.
He sat in front of the basin, helping the old lady perm the wild boar's hair.
Mu Mian was curious, "Uncle, why are you here? Didn't you take a nap in the house? My father is still sleeping."
As he spoke, he moved a small stool over and sat down next to help.
Mu Xinglong raised his chin and started to speak nonsense, "Your father is old, he can't stand to toss and turn all night, but guys like us don't need to rest."
Zhao Meihua had heard too many more ridiculous things, and her hands were busy, so she didn't even show any expression.
Mu Mian was amused and chuckled, but his words were ruthless, "I've made a note of it. I'll tell Dad when he wakes up. You said he's old."
Mu Xinglong said "Hey", stretched out his arm and hooked it around his niece's neck, "Just be close to your dad? I love you so much in vain."
Mu Mian moved flexibly and her little head instantly moved out from between her uncle's elbows.
Mu Mian had a reason, "Xiao Chengzi is also the closest to you."
Mu Xinglong didn't chase after his niece, but grabbed a piece of meat from the side to deal with it.
Mu Mian looked carefully and said, "This doesn't seem to be my house."
Mu Xinglong said, "I brought it here. Your grandma is going to fry it at night anyway. It doesn't matter if she fry one plate or two plates. This way I don't have to bother."
Mu Mian raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly, "I see, uncle, you also dislike that the food you cook is not as delicious as the one made by grandma."
Mu Xinglong, who was exposed, made a "tsk" sound and reached out to hook Mu Mian next to him, "You are deliberately choking me."
Mu Mian, who was caught by the neck without checking, flapped her wings like a little chicken and raised her hand to pat her uncle's arm, "I'm obviously telling the truth, uncle, please let go, I'm going to fall to the ground."
Her body tilted, and the small stool under her butt immediately lifted to one side.
How could Mu Xinglong, who usually likes to make trouble with the younger generations, listen?
The old lady looked angry and said, "You are over 30 years old, why are you making such a fuss?"
The moment she finished speaking, Mu Mian exerted force with her hand and straightened her uncle's bent arm.
Mu Xinglong's eyes widened slightly, and he became interested. "Come on, let's compete with each other."
Mu Mian was puzzled, "Comparing what?"
Mu Xinglong: "Arm wrestling!"
Mu Mian puffed up his cheeks and said seriously, "Then if you lose, don't cry~"
Mu Xinglong: “………………”
The old lady burst out laughing and said to Mu Xinglong, "I think you probably can't win."
Mu Xinglong didn't believe it, so he pulled Mu Mian to the yard. He sat down in front of the dining table and said, "Come on, try it!"
The arms of the two men were not the same length at all, so Mu Mian took a small stool and placed it on the table, leaning her elbows directly on the stool so that she could reach her uncle's hand.
Zhao Meihua acted as a referee with great interest. She stood by and moved the uncle and nephew's clasped hands to the center.
It can be said to be quite fair and just.
Mu Mian: "Grandma, just count three, two, one, and we'll start."
Zhao Meihua didn't yell directly, but said, "Your uncle still has to go to work tomorrow, so take it easy."
Before Mu Mian responded, Mu Xinglong said, "Old lady, you are being a little disrespectful. It's not certain who will lose!"
One minute later.
The air in the yard was somewhat quiet.
Mu Xinglong shook his right hand, looked at his niece who was smiling cutely, and tried to argue, "Your uncle's right hand was tired from lifting the pig yesterday. Let me use my left hand."
Zhao Meihua laughed out loud and complained, "You really don't care about your dignity anymore."
Just as she finished speaking, Mu Fugui's voice suddenly rang out from behind the three of them, "Wow, arm wrestling, Lao Wu, you lost?"
Mu Mian turned his head and looked, "Dad, are you awake?"
After a good sleep, Mu Fugui was full of energy and joined in with great interest, "Let's have a competition too."
Mu Xinglong took off and gave up his position without mentioning what he had just said about trying with his left hand.
It's really smooth going down the slope.
Mu Fugui is much stronger than the average gay man. Mu Mian conservatively estimated that the upper limit of her current strength with her small body should be about the same as her father's.
If her father had just dragged the two wild boars away, he would definitely have been able to do so.
But when it came time to break it open, neither the father nor the daughter used their full strength.
After only two seconds, Mu Fugui's strength decreased slightly, and Mu Mian won again.
Mu Xinglong was obviously very satisfied with the result. "Hahaha, brother, this is not possible for you."
Mu Mian interrupted, "Dad let me do it."
Mu Xinglong: "I just gave in to you."
Mu Mian immediately gave her uncle a "guess whether I believe it or not" look.
Mu Fugui pulled his brother's arm and said, "Come and try. Let me see how much you gave in just now."
Mu Xinglong didn't even try it. He turned around and went into the kitchen to continue processing the hairy meat.

Because Comrade Liu Shuangcui was not at home at noon, there was no meat and the family of three had a simple meal.
She probably wouldn't be back until evening.
Although they had bicycles, the place was a bit far away for the Mu Chunfen sisters, and it took some time to go back and forth.
Originally, Mu Fugui planned to take a day off tomorrow and visit his two younger sisters.
But Comrade Liu Shuangcui thought it was too much trouble and said she could just go around in time.
Facts have proved that Comrade Liu Shuangcui really has a good sense of time. She came back on her bicycle just as the sun set.
Mu Mian poured a jar of water and brought it over. Liu Shuangcui was indeed thirsty, so she took it and drank half of it in one gulp.
There were still some things hanging on the front of the car. Liu Shuangcui said, "Put them in the kitchen. They were all given by your aunt and your younger aunt."
Mu Mian was carrying things as he walked and looked at them. There were some pickles and dried fish mixed together.
In the kitchen.
The old lady was preparing the meat. She turned her head and glanced at her granddaughter. "What did your mother bring back?"
Mu Mian: "There are some pickles that Second Aunt made. Do you want to stir-fry them with the meat?"
Her second aunt is really good at making pickles, which are more flavorful than ordinary ones.
Zhao Meihua responded, "Okay, take a plate and pour a small plate out and put it aside. I'll watch over it later."
Mu Mian immediately stood on tiptoe and took out a plate from the cabinet. After making some food, he tidied up the rest and put it back in the cabinet.
The meat is difficult to prepare, so the old lady fried the meat first.
After a while, the whole kitchen was filled with the fragrant smell.
Mu Xinglong seemed to have a telescope. He came over as soon as the old lady's meat came out of the pot.
Seeing that the meat was already cooked, Mu Xinglong smiled and said, "It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early."
Mu Xinglong didn't stay long. He served the meat and left.
Zhao Meihua brought over an empty plate, scooped out most of it and handed it to Mu Mian, "Send it to your fourth uncle's house."
Mu Mian knew that her grandmother would not leave her fourth uncle behind, "Okay!"
Come to think of it, her grandmother does have some housekeeping wisdom.
In the brigade, no matter whether the family has many children or few children, there are many conflicts between brothers and sisters-in-law.
The Mu family has many children, but whether before or after the separation, Mu Fugui and his brothers and sisters are always harmonious.
Mu Mian had long discovered that apart from the good relationship between her father, brothers and sisters, her grandmother was the hero in maintaining the harmony.
It is said that the crying child gets candy.
If her younger uncle is the one who will cry, then her fourth uncle is definitely the one who won't cry.
But the old lady would never refuse to give something to one of the children just because one of them didn't ask for it.
For example, now.
Even if it's just a plate of meat, if one family shares it, another family will also have some.
Mu Mian walked quickly carrying the meat. Just as she arrived at the gate of her fourth uncle's house, she smelled a burst of fragrance coming from inside.
Mu Qiu first saw his cousin, "Xiao Mian, why are you bringing meat over? I have some at home."
Mu Mian smiled and said, "Grandma asked me to serve it. Second Aunt gave me some pickles, so we fried them together. It smells really good!"
Mu Xingwang took it and said with a knowing expression, "Did your uncle give his meat to your grandma?"
Mu Mian immediately gave her fourth uncle a thumbs up, "Fourth uncle, you are really smart. Sister Xiaoqiu must be so smart because of you."
By the way, her uncle brought over more than three kilograms of food, but in the end he only took away one plate.
The rest was probably given to her fourth uncle by default.
All the children raised by the old lady are clear-headed people.
Mu Mian was still sighing in her heart, and then she heard her fourth aunt's voice behind her, "Xiao Mian, what you said is wrong, Xiao Qiu obviously follows me."
Mu Mian, who had forgotten about her fourth aunt, said, "………………"
Mu Mian smiled slightly, "Follow your mother!"
Tang Cuixiang: “………………”
How could she refute this?
Even though the family has been divided, she is still very afraid of the old lady.
While the two were talking, Mu Xingwang came out from the kitchen with two bowls. He handed one to Gu Du and said, "Send it to your uncle's house."
She handed a bowl to Mu Mian, "Xiao Wan just cooked it. Bring it back for your grandma and the others to try."
Mu Mian was very supportive, "Sister Xiaowan must be cooking delicious food!"
Sometimes it's hard to explain talent. Even though adults always say that Mu Wan has a brain for eating, she is actually a person who can eat and do things.
Although she is very young, her craftsmanship is quite good, much better than her mother Tang Cuixiang.
Mu Wan's cocky voice came from the kitchen, "That's right! When I grow up, I'm going to be a chef in a state-owned restaurant."
Mu Mian chatted with her younger sister Xiao Wan for a few more words before taking the meat back.
Mu Mian was so drunken after eating this last meal that he smacked his lips even in his dreams at night.
---
The next few days.
Mu Mian didn't run to the mountain again, but stayed at home obediently, helping her grandma with this and that, and occasionally went to her uncle's house to play with her two little cousins.
A few days passed like this, and Mu Mian welcomed something that was not a big deal for her, but was quite something she was looking forward to.
That is...
Her birthday is coming, she's going to be nine years old!
