Chapter 50 Chapter 50 Reminiscing the past.
Mu Mian had beautiful thoughts.
This kind of thing can happen a lot. She won’t get annoyed even if it happens every day. She will immediately turn into a spinning top and run towards the little money!
What a pity, I can only think about it in my dreams.
Speaking of which.
In the past three years, she and Shi Xiaolian have no such "cooperation".
It's really regrettable.
but……
Just now! Right at this moment!
Shi Xiaolian's current state is clearly the same as before, and I need to tell her something that cannot be told to outsiders! !
Mu Mian's eyes were sparkling, and the symbol of RMB seemed to be printed on her pupils. She lowered her head slightly and approached Shi Xiaolian, with an expression that said, "I'm ready, tell me if you have any big surprises."
She did not disappoint. Shi Xiaolian's voice rang out the next second, "Are you going to the recruitment day?"
Mu Mian, who was ready to hear some secrets, was stunned and subconsciously said, "I'm not going. What am I going to do?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Mian looked up at Shi Xiaolian and squinted his eyes, "Do you want me to go?"
Shi Xiaolian nodded, "Yeah."
Mu Mian's mood now is similar to the time when he heard Shi Xiaolian say there was ginseng halfway up the mountain. He was so excited that he could not hold back. "Hey, just tell me, why do you want me to go? We are friends, right? Don't try to cover it up by bringing it up early."
It's just like how they always started with "I heard", they all know each other, so why do they have to do all this nonsense? !
But the more curious Mu Mian was, the calmer Shi Xiaolian became.
Two people who have been together for a long time are very likely to influence each other. Shi Xiaolian was also very happy to be naughty, but she didn't say it directly, but said without any context, "It should rain heavily tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
Mu Mian: “………………”
It's incredible.
This person who has no sense of humor at all starts to act like a shrimp.
She is guilty, she is the one who led people astray.
Mu Mian looked up at the sky and said faintly, "I can't tell whether it will rain or not, but I can tell that it will be dark in less than an hour."
Shi Xiaolian followed the look and finally did not keep the question in suspense.
In fact, she had been thinking about this for a long time.
In the previous life, the commune also built a factory and recruited workers, and even the examination time did not change, it was this Friday.
However, there was nothing going on in her family at that time, but she still went to take a look.
At that time, she was thinking that if her sister were there, she would definitely be admitted, so she wanted to go and take a look for her sister.
She didn't stay long. She just watched people go in to take the exam one after another, and then she left.
Returning to the team earlier than everyone else.
She usually took the small road when going to the commune. The road was not easy to walk on, but the distance was short.
Not long after walking, I saw Qian Zhiqing carrying a bag, also walking towards this side of the path.
In his previous life, that educated youth named Qian married into the family of the wife's family on the day of recruitment.
She was not familiar with the educated youth, and even if she met them, she would not even say hello. All her knowledge about the educated youth came from the gossips of those aunties.
At that time, she didn't even know that Qian Zhiqing was going to marry into the commune. She only found out later.
Although she didn't know all this, there was one thing that left a deep impression on her.
That was when they passed each other, Qian Zhiqing stumbled over a stone, and then several crisp sounds came out of the bag, like metal colliding.
Originally, she didn't notice that Qian Zhiqing himself seemed to be frightened by something. He quickly covered his bag and looked at her warily.
It was as if he had just finished stealing and was afraid that someone would discover the stolen goods in his bag.
Seeing that she didn't respond, Qian Zhiqing quickly walked towards the commune again.
Maybe it was because Qian Zhiqing was too alert at the time, so after she and the others left, she looked around a few more times but couldn't see anything.
After walking for a distance, she found a small box in the grass.
She picked it up and looked at it, wondering if she could take it home, but unfortunately, the box was in tatters.
It was estimated that it had been buried in the soil for a long time, because it had rained the day before, and the mud was wet in some places. I don't know where it had rolled around.
There was a big hole in the lid and it couldn't be used.
But judging from the padlock, it looked like it had just been pried open.
Without thinking much, she just threw it there.
It was not until many years later, when the country was opened up, that the educated youth were able to return to the city one after another.
This caused a lot of trouble, especially in the families of those educated youth who married local people.
Many of them said before they left that they would come and pick you up once you were settled.
In fact, once he left, there was no news of him.
During those years, this kind of thing happened in every brigade of the commune.
One day, she heard the aunts talking about Qian, a young intellectual who married into the commune.
The aunties said that Qian the educated youth had run away long ago and had become rich and wealthy.
When they heard that he had married a new wife, his previous wife went there with her family, saying that they wanted to break his legs, but she ended up coming back in disgrace.
Because Qian Zhiqing is rich now, they can't afford to offend him, so of course they can't break his legs by beating him.
It is not uncommon for educated youth to leave and never return.
The aunties were mostly talking about where the educated youth got the money from.
It's only been half a year, how can I make money so quickly? !
It is true that you can do business, but doing business also requires capital, right?
The family that Qian Zhiqing married into never gave him any money. Seeing that they were so close to him, he had no time to make money.
The daughter-in-law in front failed to beat someone up, and when she came back she was still angry, so she started shouting everywhere, saying that Qian Zhiqing was so rich that he might have stolen something from someone's family.
In the end, how Qian Zhiqing became rich remains a mystery.
---
Shi Xiaolian quickly told Mu Mian all these things.
Mu Mian crouched with his upper body bent, stunned by what he heard, "That educated youth Qian became rich later? Why didn't you tell me?"
Shi Xiaolian: "You didn't ask, and, is this the point?"
Mu Mian: "Oh, yes, I didn't ask."
At that time, she seemed to have only asked about the situation of Qian Zhiqing marrying into the family.
It's like this when you talk about family matters with Shi Xiaolian. She will tell you whatever you ask her, and won't tell you anything if you don't ask her, because she is too lazy to talk and has no interest in it.
But this is really not the point. Things have gone horribly wrong now.
That educated youth Qian had married into the family more than three years in advance.
The point is…
"What treasure do you suspect Qian Zhiqing picked up at that time?" Mu Mian asked a summary question.
Shi Xiaolian nodded, "Well, now that I think about it, they are quite similar."
"From the way he looked at that time, it was obvious that he had suddenly gotten sick and was still not calm."
So even a little girl like her was wary.
Mu Mian nodded in agreement. This is what happens when you suddenly become rich overnight.
People will become elated, as if their hearts are floating in the clouds, and they will not be able to calm down at all at the beginning.
Wasn’t she happy for a long time when she found ginseng before?
I can’t control it, I can’t control it at all. It makes me happy just thinking about it! It’s exciting just thinking about it!
Shi Xiaolian glanced at Mu Mian and said, "These are just my guesses. Maybe there is nothing at all."
Mu Mian was in a good mood. "You'll know if you go and take a look. If you can't find it, just think of it as going to the commune for fun."
She had not originally planned to go to the recruitment event, but now was a good opportunity to go and see for herself. It was sure to be very busy and crowded.
After saying this, Mu Mian suddenly thought of Shi Xiaolian's random words just now, that it would rain heavily tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
Mu Mian looked at Shi Xiaolian suspiciously, "Have you looked for her?"
Shi Xiaolian did not deny it, "I didn't find it."
Indeed, no matter which life she was in, her luck with money was rather bad, and things like this that depended solely on luck were almost impossible for her.
Of course, it is not ruled out that the box has not been washed out by the rain.
She remembered that it would rain heavily in the next two days.
She could no longer remember what the box looked like, but it was definitely very old and tattered, and some parts of the box were wet.
No matter which possibility it is, cooperating with Mu Mian is indeed the best and only choice.
If she relied on herself to look for it, she had no idea how long it would take to find it. Just like the ginseng, she searched for two months but couldn't find it.
After she remembered the box, she looked for it twice but gave up after failing to find it.
No rich educated youth will ever pass by there again in this life, but it is not ruled out that there will be others. If she relies solely on herself, she probably won’t be able to find it even if she is picked up by someone else.
It is better to leave things that rely purely on luck to people with good luck.
This way she can at least get half, but if someone else picks it up, she will have nothing.
As she was thinking, Shi Xiaolian suddenly remembered the wild boar incident and quickly emphasized: "If we find it, we'll split it fifty-fifty!"
The two words '55' are emphasized particularly strongly.
Mu Mian tutted and raised his eyebrows, "Why are you so alert? This is the most basic trust between people. Am I the kind of person who would betray my friends?"
"Fifty-fifty! Definitely!"
As he was talking, Mu Mian laughed, "The distribution of the wild boar was quite reasonable, wasn't it?"
"Look, my fourth uncle and younger uncle have been busy raising and selling pigs all night. Isn't it right for them to share the profits?"
"And my father, are his connections important? If he doesn't know some people, he won't know what to do with the wild boar if it goes bad?"
"It's so hot, if it breaks, it'll be a waste of time. It should be worth a share, right?"
Shi Xiaolian didn't think it was unreasonable, it was just that Mu Mian's appearance was too deceptive, so she subconsciously emphasized it.
She couldn't handle the wild boar business by herself, not even her sister and mother could help. And she had no way of explaining to them why she knew all this.
She just provided some information and showed the way, and then she got thirty-five yuan and five pounds of meat.
It’s already a lot. A temporary worker in the commune only earns 17 or 18 yuan a month.
This is equivalent to two months' salary.
If she hadn't looked for Mu Mian at that time, she would definitely not have been able to get the five pounds of meat and thirty-five yuan.
The wild boar would only come down to dig up the corn, and then be beaten to death by the team leader. At that time, it would be good if her family could get five taels of corn. She remembered that she only got one tael in her previous life.
Shi Xiaolian just thought so, and then she heard Mu Mian chuckle, "Actually, I was thinking 30% and 70% at that time, but you insisted on saying 20% and 80%."
Mu Mian nudged Shi Xiaolian with his arm, "You were so polite at that time, so I will naturally not be polite to you!"
Shi Xiaolian: “………………”
She said that this person's face was the only good-looking one from head to toe.
Shi Xiaolian looked at Mu Mian silently with her familiar dead fish eyes.
Mu Mian simply ignored the dark look in his eyes, and acted as if he was very experienced, "Learn this. Next time someone dares to call out 19, you should call out 91. You can't lose in terms of momentum!"
Shi Xiaolian chuckled, "I got it."
Mu Mian was very pleased, "It's good that I learned it!"
Shi Xiaolian didn't say anything else. After she finished speaking, she went home.
It was already late.
Mu Mian belatedly remembered that she still had the task of being a matchmaker to perform. She turned around and found that her elder brother and sister Sihui were also walking towards her, each holding a bundle of firewood in their hands.
Judging from the way the two of them are interacting, they must be having a very pleasant time.
Mu Mian was also happy. She was different from Shi Xiaolian. She didn't dislike anyone. She really hoped that her brother could find someone who shared the same ideals with her!
Shi Xiaolian glanced over there and found that many things were indeed completely different from her previous life.
At that time, one of them sacrificed himself, and the other worked hard for more than ten years.
It's good like this now.
Shi Xiaolian retracted her gaze and said to Mu Mian, "I won't go with you. I'm going back first."
Mu Mian nodded, and then thought, "Where's Lele? Why hasn't she come back yet?"
Shi Xiaolian: "I guess he ran like crazy."
They had just finished talking when a man and a dog appeared behind Mu Zhuo and Nie Sihui. No one knew where they came from.
Before Xu Lele arrived, her voice came over, "Sister Mianmian! Hahahahaha…I found it!"
Eleven ran much faster than Lele. He came running like a gust of wind.
Mu Mian touched the dog's head. It seemed that Lele was not the only one who was running crazy. Her dog Eleven was also going crazy today.
Xu Lele came over a step late, carrying a big fat pheasant.
Mu Zhuo exclaimed, "This chicken is really fat!"
Xu Lele smiled so hard that her teeth were showing. "Eleven saw it first. The pheasant's nest was very, very hidden, and I didn't even see it. When Eleven was chasing it, the pheasant ran towards me in a panic, and I caught it right away."
There were some leaves and weeds on the little girl's head, and her hair was a little messy. It was obvious that the battle was very fierce.
There was a scratch on his forehead, I don’t know if it was caused by a branch or a chicken, but fortunately it wasn’t very serious.
Mu Mian combed the man's hair and said, "Great!"
Several people talked as they walked down the mountain.
Xu Lele held the big fat chicken and laughed, "Sister Mianmian, I'll share it with you!"
Mu Mian smiled, "Why are you sharing with me? I didn't help. If you see Eleven, just give it some bones."
Mu Zhuo looked at his dog in curiosity, "I really don't know whether it has sharp eyes or a good nose?"
Nie Sihui: "Both. Xiaomian is well-fed, and Shiyi is more sleek and smooth than any dog I've ever seen."
Shi Xiaolian, who originally wanted to go down the mountain first, did not interrupt and glanced at Eleven silently.
Maybe this is a reason, but she thinks the main reason is probably just good luck.
Mr. Tang’s dog is not that powerful. It is obvious that Mr. Tang has more experience in this area.
She had discovered this several times: sometimes Eleven was clearly chasing a bird, but with one flutter, he would end up at a pheasant's nest, and the chicken would still be inside the nest.
All I can say is that people are like their dogs. Some lucky people often raise dogs that are very lucky.
Thinking of this, Shi Xiaolian unconsciously began to look forward to the recruitment day.
Mu Mian was also looking forward to it, but he had not forgotten what his main task was today.
She held Nie Sihui's arm all the way, talking to this one and that one, providing excellent cover.
This little matchmaker did her job very diligently.
Shi Xiaolian's house was in one direction, and after reaching the foot of the mountain, the man walked to the other side.
Nie Sihui returned to the educated youth site carrying a small bundle of firewood and a handful of wild vegetables she had picked up.
Today it was Jian Mulan's turn to cook. When Nie Sihui returned, Jian Mulan had just cut the winter melon.
Nie Sihui put the firewood on the stove. Jian Mulan looked at her basket and said, "Didn't you go to pick wild vegetables? Have you picked up all the vegetables nearby?"
Nie Sihui neither nodded nor shook her head, but just said: "This amount is just right. No need to save it until tomorrow morning. You can just prepare it and eat it."
Jian Mulan smiled, "It's ok to add a dish."
After that, Jian Mulan laughed again and said, "You don't feel tired at all. After a day's work, you still run up the mountain with a little girl."
As soon as she said this, Nie Sihui subconsciously thought of the sturdy figure first. She was not as frank as before when she spoke, and she paused for a moment, "Not bad."
She really didn't feel that tired. After all, they didn't walk very far during their time on the mountain. They were just circling in the same place.
---
The other side.
Mu Mian and the others naturally didn't feel tired, and the dog running all over the mountains and fields was still full of energy.
Then, when they arrived at the door of the house, Mu Mian watched the dog follow Lele happily away.
To be precise, it followed the chicken in Lele's bag without even looking at its owner.
What a realistic dog, as long as there is meat, it’s the mother.
It is said that dogs will not mind a poor family, so why is her dog different? It's a bit too flexible.
Mu Mian immediately expressed his contempt for the dog.
The expression on his sister's face was so funny that Mu Zhuo, who witnessed the whole thing, burst into laughter.
Liu Shuangcui was busy in the yard. When she heard the voice, she looked over here and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Then he asked again, "Why did Eleven leave with Lele?"
Mu Mian complained to Gou Zi without hesitation, "Le Le caught a pheasant, and Eleven doesn't want me as his mother anymore."
Liu Shuangcui: "You are just a little girl, what's the point of being sissy or not."
Comrade Mu Fugui interrupted, "Your brother was smiling like he had picked up money. I thought he was dating that little girl Nie."
Liu Shuangcui followed up with concern and asked, "How was the contact?"
Mu Zhuo chuckled, "There's hope!"
Comrade Mu Fugui was very gossipy, "What did you guys talk about?"
Mu Mian has a say in this matter. "I heard them talking about me. They were talking a lot."
Mu Fugui: "What are you talking about?"
Mu Mian smiled sweetly, "Of course they're praising me for being smart, cute, clever and capable~"
This is not false, that's how she is according to her sister Sihui.
Mu Fugui rubbed his daughter's head and said, "Then it is indeed true."
Then he turned to Mu Zhuo and said, "Is that all you are talking about? Didn't you pick some wild flowers or something to give to them?"
Mu Zhuo didn't really trust the experience his father had passed on, so he chose to ignore it and only answered the first half of the sentence, "He also talked about the situation in the family compound."
Liu Shuangcui glared at her man and said to Mu Zhuo, "Don't listen to your father. You have nowhere to go, why are you picking wild flowers?"
Mu Fugui was not convinced, "You can pick it just because you are in a relationship. When I gave it to you, you were smiling like a flower."
Liu Shuangcui: "I was embarrassed to say that. I was saving your face. Your flowers are all wilted, as if they were hit by frost."
Mu Fugui: "Where did the frost come from in the middle of summer? I was afraid of being seen, so I hid it in my clothes when I went to look for you. I hid it in my clothes all the way."
Liu Shuangcui suddenly realized something. "I was wondering why I smelled a sweaty odor at that time. The flower stem was still wet. You even told me that you just washed your hands by the river. It was actually your sweat, right?"
Mu Fugui touched his head and smiled innocently, "Hehe, isn't this because I'm afraid you'll dislike me?"
Liu Shuangcui immediately showed a disgusted expression, "Stop talking, I'm starting to dislike you now."
The couple were talking to each other.
The siblings Mu Mian and Mu Zhuo were left standing by to watch the show. During this time, the old lady had been in the kitchen and didn't even stick her head out.
I guess they are all used to their boss's various antics.
Mu Mian smacked her lips, realizing that what Comrade Liu Shuangcui had told her before was a beautified version.
I can only say that he is worthy of being her father. There is a hint of absurdity in his romance.
