Chapter 46 Chapter 46 Brother and sister chatting.
When the weather is hot.
Many uncles like to work shirtless, and they can be seen everywhere in the fields.
Nie Sihui had been working in the countryside for several years and had long been accustomed to seeing this and didn't care at all.
After realizing who this person was, Nie Sihui subconsciously moved her eyes upwards and glanced at this person who was praised by the aunties as a promising person.
It's far away, so I can't see it clearly.
I can only vaguely feel that this person doesn't look much like Xiaomian, but he is indeed quite upright.
Just by sitting there, his aura was different from that of other male comrades in the team.
It only took a second or two to glance at her, and now Mu Mian was walking out and asking, "What's up, Sister Sihui? Is there something you want to talk to me about?"
Nie Sihui, who was standing at the gate of the yard, took a few steps forward and handed the paper in her hand over. "I just ran into Xiaozhu on the way. She went to the commune for something today and brought back your and Xiaolian's grades on the way. She was in a hurry to go home and saw that I was on the way, so she asked me to bring it to you."
Mu Mian was surprised, "You came out so soon?"
As he said that, he took it and looked at it.
Nie Sihui smiled and said, "It was pretty fast. She said she finished the revision the afternoon before yesterday."
Mu Mian gave a thumbs up, "These teachers are really efficient."
I finished the exam in the morning and corrected it in the afternoon. My efficiency is really high.
Nie Sihui followed suit and said, "Your grades are also excellent."
Every subject received high scores, some even got full marks.
Mu Mian chuckled, showing a little smug look, "That's right! Smart kid~"
Nie Sihui was so amused by his self-boasting appearance.
Mu Mian asked again: "How did Shi Xiaolian do in the exam?"
Nie Sihui shook her head, "I don't know about that. I didn't ask, but I guess it's not bad. I think Xiaozhu is quite happy."
Nie Sihui just helped to bring back the report card. Seeing the whole family sitting in the room, she thought something was going on, so she didn't bother them and left after saying a few words.
After seeing Nie Sihui off, Mu Mian skipped back to the house with the report card and spread it on the table. "Look! From now on, I will be a high school student!"
Although I am only studying on a temporary basis, the diplomas are the same and there is no difference.
The requirements for borrowing a student are even higher!
Before Mu Fugui could see clearly, he praised, "Our daughter is really promising!"
Liu Shuangcui took a closer look and said, "Oh, this is a perfect score."
Mu Mian: "The egg I cooked before was well cooked. I'll get full marks on the test after eating it!"
Zhao Meihua laughed and said, "I dare not take credit for this."
Bone was envious, "Sister Mian Ya, can you let me use your brain when I take the exam?"
Little Orange: "I want one too!"
The two sisters Xiao Mi Miao followed closely behind, "I want one too!"
I haven't even started school yet, so I don't know why I'm joining in the fun.
Mu Mian was very generous, "If you can take it, I'll give it to you."
Bones deflated, "I can't take it."
Mu Zhuo took the report card with a proud look on his face, "This score must be in the top three in the grade, right?"
Mu Mian: "We took a different test paper than them. I heard this one is a little more difficult."
Then he added smugly, "Although I don't feel how difficult it is."
Mu Zhuo gave his younger sister a thumbs up and handed her the report card in his hand.
The result was expected and no one was too surprised. They didn't think that their daughter Mian Ya would fail the exam.
Mu Mian took the report card back to his room.
After such a commotion for a while, the sun is almost setting.
Mu Zhuo had already packed his two large bags, and the four children, Xiao Chengzi, and Bone, did not stay here any longer.
The old lady was busy cooking, so Mu Mian asked her brother to help, and the two siblings chatted idly.
As they chatted, Mu Zhuo suddenly remembered that he was almost seen shirtless by a young female comrade, so he asked, "Is that female comrade the Nie Zhiqing you often mentioned in your letters?"
Mu Mian broke off the worm-infected parts of the beans and put them aside, preparing to feed them to the chickens later.
She didn't stop her work and answered her eldest brother's question, "Yes, I remember writing it down. Her name is Nie Sihui."
Every time Mu Zhuo sent back a letter, it was several pages thick, which led to Mu Mian writing down even the most trivial things in the letter.
For example, Nie Zhiqing lent her a picture book. She had never read this picture book before and it was quite interesting.
For example, the elementary school math teacher was replaced from Qian Zhiqing to Nie Zhiqing, and she played a small role in it.
Things like this have been written before.
Although Mu Zhuo had never seen the person, he had an impression of him in his mind.
He always spoke whatever he wanted to his little sister. Mu Zhuo said, "This Nie Zhiqing looks a little different from what you wrote in the letter."
Mu Mian was puzzled, "Why is it different? Sister Sihui is very beautiful."
Mu Zhuo: "That's not what I meant. I thought that Nie Zhiqing and Sister Taozi were the same."
Mu Mian understood, it was just the contrast between his personality and appearance.
Their sister Taozi always keeps short hair and looks heroic. One can tell at a glance that she is a decisive, capable and efficient female comrade.
Nie Zhiqing is different. He is a little over 1.6 meters tall, with relatively soft facial features. He is good-looking, but the first impression he gives may make people feel that he is weak and easy to bully.
In fact, Nie Sihui is truly a very tough person, strong and independent-minded.
Mu Mian said in a serious tone, "Brother, when you look at female comrades, don't just look at the surface."
Mu Fugui walked up behind the brother and sister at some point and interrupted, "Your eldest brother doesn't usually have any female comrades to look at, right? Aren't there just a bunch of rough dudes in the army?"
Mu Mian: “Yeah.”
Liu Shuangcui was originally picking cucumbers in her own plot. When she heard this, she turned her head and looked over. "I can't see you normally, but now I can see you. What kind of person do you want to find?"
Her own son is about to turn twenty-four, and she hasn't even seen the shadow of her daughter-in-law.
We are usually far away from each other, so we don’t say anything.
I have been back for two or three months now. If I can meet a suitable lesbian, I can get the thing done. It's totally in time!
It took her and her child's father less than a month from the time they met to the time they got married.
Mu Zhuo, who was urged to get married the next day after returning, "………………"
Mu Zhuo gave his younger sister a look asking for help.
Mu Mian shrugged, unable to help.
Her sister Taozi has been urged countless times, including by her mother and aunt, but she still hasn't found it.
Liu Shuangcui noticed the little tricks between the brother and sister and said to Mu Zhuo, "Why are you looking at Mian Ya? Are you expecting her to introduce you to a date?"
Mu Zhuo shook his head, "No, I want to find someone I like."
Of course he also wants to find a wife. Who doesn't want a wife and children?
It’s hard to find one in the army because there are too many single men.
Liu Shuangcui: "Whether it's suitable or not, don't you have to find someone to meet first?"
Mu Fugui looked very interested. "I think Xiaozhu is a good girl. She is the only girl in our team who has a high school diploma besides Xiaoqiu. Her family is simple, with only three of them, mother and daughter."
"It just so happens that Xiaolian gets along well with our Mian Ya, but I don't know if Xiaozhu will like our Xiaozhuo."
Mu Fugui became more and more excited as he spoke. Mu Zhuo was confused. He didn't remember what Shi Xiaozhu looked like at all. He just vaguely remembered that there was such a person in the team.
The eldest branch of the Shi family used to live in the commune. Less than a year after they came back, Mu Zhuo went to join the army. The two families lived far away from each other, so they rarely saw each other.
As Mu Fugui was talking, he also pulled Mu Mian in, "What do you think, girl?"
Mu Mian raised his eyebrows slightly, "Ask me?"
As he spoke, he pretended to cough, puffed out his chest, and said in a serious tone, "Ahem, since you insist on asking, then I will express my humble opinion."
Mu Fugui laughed, "Okay, okay, let me hear how clumsy you are."
Mu Mian: "I don't think it's appropriate. Sister Xiaozhu's personality is too different from that of big brother, and she can't control big brother."
If Nie Sihui only appears easy to talk to on the surface, then Shi Xiaozhu is really easy to talk to and has a very easy-going personality.
The person in charge of the Shi family now has become Shi Xiaolian. Many major events in the Shi family were brought about by Shi Xiaolian.
For example, letting Shi Xiaozhu go to high school as a transfer student.
With recruitment imminent, everyone is saying that Shi Xiaozhu was very prescient in choosing to get a high school diploma.
Mu Mian thought so and turned to look at Mu Zhuo again.
Her eldest brother has the same personality as her father
Almost. Although she has been in the army for a few years and looks much more stable, she is still very erratic and unrestrained inside. She needs someone who is a little strong like her mother to take care of her.
This is what Mu Mian thought in his heart and said so.
Mu Zhuo said "Hey", not quite convinced, "Why do I, your brother, need someone to take care of me?"
Mu Mian snorted, thinking that he had a good point, "Mom has taken good care of Dad, don't you need Mom to take care of you, Dad?"
Mu Fugui's cow-like eyes suddenly widened a lot. He didn't know why the anger had burned him.
He turned his head to look at his wife and said quickly, "Watch over me! Why don't I need your mother to watch over me? I need her very much! I won't be happy if your mother doesn't watch over me for the rest of my life."
Liu Shuangcui ignored her man and continued with the previous topic, "Zhu girl is indeed not suitable. I secretly asked her before. She said she wanted to find someone closer to home. I guess she can't let go of her mother."
Zhao Meihua, who had been listening for a long time, followed up with, "That's not appropriate. If Xiao Zhuo and his friends continue to move up, they can get a house. If they have the conditions, it's better for the couple to live together."
We can't live apart all the time. That's not the life of a normal young couple.
Mu Mian was happy to watch the fun, "If you can't find anyone suitable in the brigade, you can ask your aunt to see if there is anyone suitable in the commune. I'm sure your aunt will be happy to introduce someone to your brother."
Because her aunt often failed to introduce Taozi to other men. Many times, as soon as she told her aunt about the gay man's family situation, Taozi felt that it was not a good idea and they never got to the point of meeting.
This resulted in her aunt having no place to put her worries about her niece.
Liu Shuangcui: "Your aunt knows which families have single gay men, but lesbians don't know much."
Mu Mian patted her eldest brother on the shoulder and said, "Then let your eldest brother find one himself. He is a handsome guy who is well-known in the surrounding area. How could he not find a partner?"
Mu Zhuo puffed out his chest, looking smug as if to say, "My girl has really good taste."
That’s right, he has no problem finding a partner! !
Mu Fugui: "My girl, you said last time that your father is famous for his handsomeness in the surrounding area!"
Mu Mian chuckled, "So handsome!"
Liu Shuangcui glanced at her daughter and said with a smile, "You are the one who says all the good and bad things."
Mu Mian: "The mouth is on my body for me to speak."
Zhao Meihua: "Stop talking nonsense and wash the beans. The pot is about to dry out."
After talking on and on for a long time, the topic of urging marriage came to an end without any conclusion.
---
The next day was Monday.
Mu Mian woke up as usual, and when he was scooping water to wash his face, he noticed that the bicycle at home was missing.
Mu Mian asked Liu Shuangcui who came out of the kitchen in confusion, "Dad has gone to the commune?"
Liu Shuangcui: "Well, they said they were going to collect a truckload of pigs today, and they had to unload them early. Didn't they say that before?"
Mu Mian scooped up a handful of water with both hands and blew it onto his face. As he washed, he said, "You didn't tell me, why isn't my brother here? Did he go out?"
Liu Shuangcui: "I'm working on sweet potatoes in the cellar."
Mu Mian said "Oh" and washed Eleven who came over. He rubbed the dog's head and asked, "Brother, do you have to go to your uncle and aunt's house today?"
I haven't seen him for so many years. Now that he's back, I have to let him know. I also have to send over the specialties that my brother brought for me.
Liu Shuangcui smiled, "You are quite worrying. I have already talked to your father and asked him to go to your aunt's house when he comes back in the evening and ask your aunt to take the child back to Yangliu Brigade on Sunday."
"Let's go to your uncle's house on Sunday. The things your brother brought can be kept for a week without any problem."
As the mother and daughter were talking, Mu Zhuo came up from the cellar with some sweet potatoes and asked casually, "What are you talking about?"
Mu Mian: "Tell me when we're going to visit my aunt and uncle's house."
Mu Zhuo: "Mom told me this morning that I'll go on Sunday. I'll go to my second and third aunt's house when I'm free."
As Mu Zhuo spoke, he scooped up water to wash the dirt off the sweet potatoes. Eleven came over curiously.
It has been enjoying running around Mu Zhuo's feet these past two days. It probably doesn't understand why there is suddenly a person in the house whom it has never seen before.
Mu Zhuo handed over a sweet potato, "Do you want to eat it?"
Eleven didn't open his mouth, but stared at Mu Zhuo silently with his pair of dog eyes.
Mu Mian: "Eleven cooked ones."
Mu Zhuo said, "You are quite picky."
Mu Mian: "It's up to me. I don't like eating raw food either. Do you want to wash it in the morning? Isn't it a bit late to steam it now?"
Mu Zhuo: "Grandma said to prepare it at noon. The corn is already steaming in the pot."
The brother and sister squatted together, chatting with each other.
Mu Mian: "Are you washing out the things you made at noon now?"
He has great execution ability, worthy of being someone who has been in the army for several years.
Mu Zhuo: "I have nothing to do anyway, so I have to do it sooner or later."
Mu Mian smiled and said, "Just like grandma, I can't sit still."
Liu Shuangcui passed by and said with a smile: "Aren't you the one in our family who can't sit still the most? You have endless energy."
Mu Mian laughed, "All very energetic~"
Mu Zhuo turned his head and glanced at the bucket in his mother's hand. "Go get some water?"
Liu Shuangcui responded, "You'll need some time in the milk pot. It's just right for you to come back after you finish picking it out."
Mu Zhuo took it and said, "Mom, leave it there. I'll do it."
Mu Mian also went to get the other two empty buckets, "I'll go too."
Liu Shuangcui didn't argue. She handed the bucket to the brother and sister, and smiled at the old lady who came out of the kitchen: "It's like we have two cows at home."
Zhao Meihua smiled and said, "That's great. There are so many cows and they are so precious. No other place has them."
If you have two cows at home, you don't have to worry about fetching water.
The brother and sister each had two buckets, and after two trips the big water tank was full.
After breakfast, Mu Zhuo was not idle either. The old lady asked him to have a good rest.
But he couldn't rest at all. Sometimes he helped the old lady to turn over her private plot, and sometimes he started to chop firewood.
This train ride was not as tiring as my usual missions, and I had enough rest yesterday.
Mu Mian fiddled with her picture book in the house for a while. She couldn't stop making money.
When she came out, she heard her brother say that he was going to work.
Zhao Meihua: "If you really have nothing to do, just go and see your grandfather and tidy up the grass on his grave."
Mu Zhuo responded immediately, "If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten about it. I haven't told you yet. I'll go now!"
Zhao Meihua immediately reminded him, "Don't bring anything else. Just bring a shovel with you up the mountain."
Now you can’t burn yellow paper.
Mu Mian: "Brother, even if you want to take me, I don't think you can take me."
Zhao Meihua didn't tell the little girl that if she wanted it, she could still have it.
Of course Mu Zhuo knew he couldn’t take it with him, so he ran to the corner to get a shovel, and called out to Mu Mian, “Let’s go! Come with me.”
Mu Mian raised his round face and rolled his eyes around, "Okay, since you said so, I'll reluctantly accompany you."
Zhao Meihua looked extremely happy, "You can carry the backpack faster than your brother, what's the problem?"
Mu Mian didn't pause for a second, and said, "Of course it's in my heart. My body is honest, but it has nothing to do with my heart."
Mu Zhuo laughed, "Thank you for your reluctance."
Mu Mian waved his hand, "We are brothers and sisters, so don't be polite~"
Zhao Meihua: "If you two keep making noise, it will be noon soon."
Mu Mian looked at the sky and took the lead, "Let's go, let's go now!"
As he said this, he called out to the dog, "Eleven!"
Eleven, who was sleeping in his nest, suddenly jumped up, wagging his tail and ran to Mu Mian.
Mu Zhuo praised: "This dog's ears are really sharp."
The brother and sister talked as they walked.
Mu Mian: "Eleven has an even sharper nose. Once, it actually smelled a pheasant egg in the haystack. I didn't even see it at the time and almost missed it. And the time I wrote to you about before, it was Eleven that first noticed the pheasant."
Mu Mian talked about Eleven's great achievements, many of which had been written by her elder brother, but both the speaker and the listener were in high spirits.
When family members are together, they like to talk about the same things over and over again.
At the end, Mu Mian looked at Eleven in front of him and asked casually, "Brother, do you have dogs in your army?"
Mu Zhuo: "Yes, but we usually don't have access to them. There are special people responsible for training."
Mu Mian said in an admiring tone, "Military dogs, they must be very powerful!"
She felt that Eleven had this potential, but unfortunately she met someone like her.
An owner who doesn't know much about training.
Mu Zhuo: “Eleven is not bad.”
This is indeed the truth. His younger sister used to write in her letters that the dog had grown bigger and taller.
He didn't see the dog at the time, so he had no idea.
When I came back and saw it, I realized that this dog was really well raised.
Mu Mian was immediately a little proud, "Of course! Our Eleventh is the best! Uncle Xu once asked me if I would like to raise pigs, and said that if I raise them well, he would give me an extra work point every day."
"After I told him what Eleven eats every day, he immediately refused to eat, saying that he couldn't bear to part with the feed."
Mu Zhuo laughed, "Of course. If you feed the pigs like you feed Eleven, you probably won't even get your money back."
Mu Mian shrugged. Eleven was her own dog, so of course she was willing to feed him. What's more, Eleven could help her catch chickens and rabbits.
Eleven didn't know if he understood what the brother and sister were talking about, but Gou Shi, who had been running in front, suddenly ran back and followed Mu Mian closely.
Mu Zhuo looked down at the dog, and as if remembering something, he said casually, "Old Wen seemed to have said that he also had a black dog before."
Mu Mian: "Ah, that good man, Captain Wen."
This person's promotion speed was quite fast. She remembered her eldest brother had said before that he was already a company commander.
Mu Zhuo followed up with, “Well, but the dog seems to have died of illness.”
Mu Mian couldn't bear to hear this, "Ah? I hope our Eleventh can live a long life!"
Mu Zhuo looked around, tilted his head towards his younger sister, and whispered, "Wouldn't that make him a dog spirit?"
Mu Mian inexplicably whispered: "Convert it, brother, can you convert it~"
Mu Zhuo touched his nose and said, "You just led me into a ditch."
Mu Mian snorted, "It's none of my business. It's you who's not thinking straight."
Mu Zhuo hooked his little sister's neck and said, "You have grown up. You are beginning to think that your big brother is stupid."
Mu Mian patted her brother's arm and said, "No, no, big brother is very smart!"
Mu Zhuo let go of his hand. "Come to think of it, Lao Wen's vacation time is right around the same as mine. It seems he will pass by our provincial capital in a while."
Mu Mian turned his head and thought for two seconds before saying, "I remember you said his family is from the capital, why did he have to pass by us?"
Although they are indeed in the same direction, they are farther away from Ningzhang City and will pass through the capital in the middle.
Mu Zhuo paused for two seconds before whispering, "I heard the boss vaguely mention that he wanted to go to some farm to take a look, but I don't know the details."
Upon hearing what his elder brother said, Mu Mian immediately stopped asking questions.
What can you see when you go to the farm? I guess some acquaintances have been sent down.
