Chapter 7 Chapter 7 Daily life in the fields.
Speaking of which, Mu Mian hasn't visited the twin cousins since he came back in the morning.
But there is no need to rush, as people in the team will not run away.
At that moment, Mu Mian poured the worms in the bottle into the chicken coop. While the hens were scrambling for food, she reached out and touched the place where the hens usually nested, and found that the chicken had laid two eggs.
Mu Mian carefully picked it out and put it together with the others, then went to boil water.
Her father's job is very water-intensive. He comes home every day covered in dirt and has to wash his clothes, otherwise the smell of blood will be very strong.
When the sun began to set, Zhao Meihua and Liu Shuangcui, who had just finished work, arrived home one after another. At the same time, several middle-aged women who had passed by were standing at the door.
Everyone was very surprised to see Mu Mian.
Isn't it rare? The night before yesterday, they helped to search all over the mountains. When they heard the captain's boy report to the police and say that there might be kidnappers nearby, they all felt that the two girls would most likely not come back.
Who knew that just at dawn someone came to the brigade and shouted that the little girl had escaped by herself.
It is said that all the teeth were broken, and the man's was also kicked to pieces.
What a tough girl! !
How come I never noticed it before?
Mu Mian, who was treated like a monkey, called "Auntie" obediently a few times, and then was asked a lot of questions one after another.
Everyone is busy at work during the day, so when I have some free time, I like to watch the fun.
Who doesn’t like to watch the excitement? Mu Mian likes it too, but when she becomes the one causing the excitement, she feels a little unhappy.
Fortunately, Mu Fugui came back from get off work. He was a boastful man, and without being asked, he started talking about his daughter's heroic deeds.
He was just as proud as when Mu Zhuo was selected in the military recruitment last year.
In fact, Mu Fugui had been talking all the way from the village entrance to his home, and he couldn't hold back at all.
Thanks to his biological father, Mu Mian became the topic of conversation at the dinner table tonight.
In fact, it has been like this for the past two days, but she was in the hospital yesterday and no one could see her. So when they saw her, they started talking about it. Some even came with their bowls in hand to see her.
Mu Mian, who was also eating in the yard, "………………"
She realized that there were really few entertainment activities these days, otherwise they wouldn't treat her like a monkey.
The aunts and old ladies gathered together and chatted on the way home after watching the show.
"Mian girl seems to be a lot smarter now! She talks a lot more."
"I heard that he had a high fever yesterday. This fever has made his brain more alert."
"I only know that there are people who are stupid and spiritual. This is the first time I have seen it."
"Speaking of which, this girl is a bit too fierce. Why does she kick people in those places?"
…………
…
Some tough aunts would immediately retort to such remarks, "What's wrong with kicking? Good job! I didn't kick your boy, what are you afraid of?! In my opinion, girls should be tougher so that they won't be controlled by their husbands in the future."
Afraid of a quarrel, the people around immediately started to chatter about something else, "Why didn't I realize that Miss Mian was so strong before? She was able to beat two grown men. I heard that one of them even had two teeth knocked out."
"You must be pushing her too far. She never hit anyone before."
"Luckily there's Miss Mian, otherwise I think the captain's daughter would be in big trouble this time."
"You say, did the captain and Guizhi give Fugui and his friends a lot of good things? This can be considered as saving the little girl's life, right?"
"Who knows? I won't let you see it even if I give it to you."
Mu Mian actually didn’t know the answer to this question. Sometimes the adults liked to talk about things behind their children’s backs.
But she could guess that her mother took the things from the little boy's house because he was a stranger.
Considering the fact that their family has been neighbors with the captain's family for so many years, talking about supplies would be a bit hurtful.
She saw it yesterday evening. When the captain patted her father on the shoulder, his eyes were red, as if everything was said without words.
In addition to being curious about these things, some of the villagers talked about things that were similar to what Yang Gongan had said in the hospital before.
However, they did not think that Mu Mian would be a good candidate for a police officer when she grew up. They just thought that she was worthy of being the daughter of a butcher, and might be able to take over her father's job when she grew up, slaughtering a big fat pig with one knife.
It was only Mu Mian who didn't hear these words, otherwise he would have refuted them in his heart.
Killing pigs and the like were really not part of her career plan.
She just wants to stand at the forefront of the trend and be the pig that takes off.
Unfortunately, the opportunity has not come yet and she is still just a little piglet.
---
Mu.Piggy.Mian had a good sleep at night and woke up the next day to the sound of the hen clucking.
More than half of the spring plowing has been completed, and only a little bit is left.
Early this morning, the team leader Xu Yongshou started mobilizing the troops at the top of his voice, because it looked like it would rain in the next two days.
The theme of the mobilization meeting was to encourage everyone to work harder and try to finish the work before it rains.
As a result, the villagers do not even have time to go home for lunch. They have to be sent home by their elderly or children. If there are no elderly or children at home, one person is allowed to go home 25 minutes earlier.
Liu Shuangcui naturally would not come back to Mu Mian's house.
Mu Mian was responsible for delivering meals to her mother and uncle Mu Xinglong. There was no one to cook at her uncle's house and Zheng Xialan was still lying in bed.
Little Chengzi is only six years old. He can help watch the fire and boil water, but he can't cook.
Mu Xinglong had brought food over some time ago, so the old lady would cook meals for both families every day at noon.
After packing the lunch box, Mu Mian carried her small backpack and went to the fields. During the trip, she met Xu Lele. Her third brother was the one who cooked for her family, while her eldest brother, second brother, and mother were all in the fields.
The two sisters didn't walk very fast as they were afraid that the food would spill out.
As soon as Mu Mian reached the edge of the field, she saw her mother. Liu Shuangcui put down her hoe and walked over. "Have you eaten with your grandma?"
Mu Mian shook his head. "Not yet. Grandma went to see my aunt. I'll eat with my aunt and Xiao Chengzi. I'll go home and eat later. The rest is warming in the pot."
Liu Shuangcui was so tired that she just nodded and said nothing more.
Mu Mian picked up the other lunch box and went to find her uncle. Mu Xinglong was in another group, two fields away from Liu Shuangcui.
When she arrived, Mu Xinglong was already sitting on the edge of the field to rest.
When they were five or six meters apart, Mu Mian called out, "Uncle!"
Mu Xinglong turned his head, with a perverse smile on his sweaty face, "Xiao Mian Ya, you've got the wrong person again. I'm your fourth uncle."
Mu Mian: “………………”
Her uncle was just as erratic as she remembered, as if he would feel itchy all over if he didn't do something naughty.
When I was a child, I liked to play the game of Guess Who I Am with my fourth uncle. Even now that I am old, I still like to play it.
Some twins would be like this when they were young, but they are still like this at this age purely because her younger uncle is not serious and her fourth uncle doesn't play around.
Mu Mian smiled sweetly, looking adorable, "Oh, I made a mistake. Give the meal to Fourth Uncle."
After saying this, she turned around and was about to leave, walking towards her fourth uncle.
Several uncles nearby laughed. Mu Xingwang was also in this group, less than three or four meters away from Mu Xinglong. Hearing his niece say this,
Said, and stretched out his hand in cooperation.
Mu Xinglong got up with one step, "Good Mian Ya, it's okay if uncle is wrong, give the lunch box to uncle quickly, I'm starving!!"
Mu Mian then turned on tiptoe and walked towards Mu Xinglong.
Mu Xinglong took the food in one hand and scratched his niece's nose with the other hand, "Okay, you are smart. You dare to make fun of your uncle."
Mu Mian raised his eyebrows, "It was obviously my uncle who made the joke first."
Mu Xinglong took two bites of rice and said incoherently, "Uncle is testing you to see if your eyesight is good."
Mu Xingwang couldn't bear to watch it anymore and waved at Mu Mian, "Ignore him, come sit with your fourth uncle for a while, it will take a while for your mother to finish her meal."
There are many laborers in Mu Xingwang's family. Apart from the couple, the eldest and second sons are both grown up.
The eldest brother, Mu Qing, is only four years younger than Mu Zhuo. He is fifteen years old this year. In two or three years, he will be able to find a partner. The young man can earn eight work points a day.
The second child, Mu Qiu, is thirteen years old. He has good grades and is studying hard to get into junior high school. He also occasionally does some work in the fields.
Besides the eldest son Mu Shi, there is also a third child, Mu Wan, who is ten years old. She is the one who cooks at home during the busy farming season.
What Mu Xingwang is eating now is what Mu Wan sent him.
Mu Mian didn't sit here with Mu Xingwang for too long. After resting for a while, she got up and prepared to go find her mother.
In fact, it wasn't that she didn't want to take a break, it was just that these uncles were very talkative. Besides asking her all sorts of questions, they also looked at her strangely.
Just now, when she sat down next to her fourth uncle, those who were originally sitting on the edge of the field with their legs apart suddenly pressed their legs together.
Mu Mian just felt that it was hard to put it into words. She really didn't like kicking the crotch.
Mu Mian patted the dirt off his butt and said, "Uncle, take your time eating."
Before Mu Xingwang could say anything, Mu Xinglong beside him quickly took two bites of food and said, "Wait a minute, I'll be done soon, take the lunch box away!"
Mu Mian glanced at her uncle's lunch box without stopping, "Put it here with my uncle first, and I'll have Xiao Chengzi bring it to you after washing it in the evening."
After saying that, the man ran away.
Mu Xinglong said, "You are really a rabbit."
When Mu Mian turned back, Liu Shuangcui hadn't finished eating yet. "What did you say to your uncle and the others?"
Mu Mian sat next to his biological mother. "He teased me and said he was my fourth uncle."
The aunt sitting next to Liu Shuangcui is called Cao Chunfeng, and she is also from the Qingfeng Brigade. When she heard this, she laughed out loud, "Mu Xiaowu is still that weird no matter how old he is. Among the three men in your Mu family, Mu Laosi is the most stable one."
The implication is that Mu Fugui is also a bit out of touch.
Although this was indeed the truth, Mu Mian didn't want to admit it, "My father is also good."
Another aunt nearby laughed and said, "This girl is really considerate. She knows how to protect her father."
Then the topic surrounding the Mu family came back to Mu Mian's beating of the crutches. Cao Chunfeng casually picked up the hoe beside her and said, "I heard from Miss Le that Miss Mian broke the stick while beating the crutches. Come and try to see if you can break it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the voices of several middle-aged women nearby started to make a fuss.
Liu Shuangcui opened her mouth and was about to stop her when she heard her daughter speak.
Mu Mian looked at Cao Chunfeng and puffed his cheeks. "Aunt Chunfeng, why are you teasing me? This is a public property. If I break it, the captain will definitely ask me to pay for it."
But she knew that the farm tools used for work were taken from the brigade warehouse and had to be returned after work.
Besides, it’s better not to perform as a monkey in public. I already performed as a monkey last night.
The aunts who had completely forgotten about this burst into laughter.
Cao Chunfeng sighed, "You are really a cunning girl now."
Mu Mian sat next to Liu Shuangcui, looking a little proud, "I'm smart, just like my mom."
