Chapter 76 Chapter 76 The eldest brother leaves.
Thinking that his elder brother would soon leave home again, Mu Mian suddenly felt depressed.
As soon as Mu Zhuo saw his little sister's expression, he knew what she was thinking. He reached out and rubbed her round head, "There's still a week left."
Mu Mian pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled, "That's right."
No matter how reluctant she was, her elder brother had to go back to the army, so there was no point in adding to her sadness.
Mu Mian raised his chin and said, "Tell Brother Wen to send it. I will make sure to complete the task!"
Mu Zhuo followed up with this and handed the dustpan in his hand to Mu Mian, smiling, "Go, errand girl, take the beans to the kitchen, I'll sort out your vegetables."
Mu Mian: "I've already combed it, just wash it."
She was careful not to cut the grass in.

In the kitchen.
Several female comrades were at home. Liu Shuangcui was fiddling with dried meat, planning to let Mu Zhuo take it away in a few days. After it was finished, this thing could be stored for a long time and could also satisfy hunger, so it was very convenient to carry it with you when going out.
Nie Sihui was also helping out while the old lady was busy preparing the meal by herself.
Seeing Mu Mian coming in, Zhao Meihua glanced at her granddaughter and asked, "Where did you go?"
After Mu Mian handed over the dustpan, he sat down in front of the stove and helped to light the fire. "Hey, I picked some wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain and by the river."
When talking about this, Mu Mian suddenly remembered that she had forgotten something. She had just been interrupted by her elder brother and had forgotten everything.
Mu Mian reached into his pocket, then stood up and walked over to the old lady, "Look! I picked it up in the mountains."
Liu Shuangcui turned her head and looked over. "What is it?"
Nie Sihui also poked her head out, quite curious.
The next second, Zhao Meihua gave them the answer with a surprised voice, "Wow, it's Yuan Datou."
Nie Sihui took a few steps closer to take a look. "This one seems to be quite valuable. I think it could be worth around twenty yuan."
Mu Mian was surprised and asked in a joyful tone, "Is it worth so much?!"
She actually didn't know much about this thing. She only had a general idea about it and thought it was worth only about ten dollars at most.
Ten dollars is not a small amount!
Nie Sihui nodded, "There should be relatively few of these in the world, and things are valuable because they are rare."
Mu Mian laughed, "What good luck!"
Mu Zhuo, who had heard the noise and came over, picked it up and took a look. "Really? Where did you pick it up? I can't pick up anything every day."
Nie Sihui's face revealed the same meaning.
The old lady said: "Don't talk about you. I haven't picked up anything in all these years."
Her granddaughter is so lucky that it’s no exaggeration to say she is God’s beloved daughter.
Mu Mian narrowed his eyes with a smile, "I didn't see it at first, it was eleven..."
Before she finished her words, Mu Zhuo was shocked, "What the hell, did you pick it up at 11?!"
Even dogs have better luck than him? !
Mu Mian: “………………”
Why is her elder brother's train of thought so strange? !
Mu Mian glanced at her elder brother dimly, "Brother, please listen to what I have to say."
Mu Zhuo scratched his head and said, "You tell me."
Liu Shuangcui glanced at her boss and said with a smile, "So irritable."
Zhao Meihua also smiled and said, "You know what, Eleven is pretty lucky too, better than us."
Mu Mian looked proud, "Follow me!!"
The topic had gone off topic, so Mu Mian brought it back to the topic, "I found it in the hedgehog's den, but Eleven saw it first and it almost bit it. Fortunately, I stopped it, otherwise it would probably be in pain for several days."
Zhao Meihua: "Bai Daxianer."
Mu Mian: "Yeah, it's a whole family. The mother looks fierce, but the little ones are cute. They are small and follow their mother like a little tail."
Nie Sihui said with curiosity, "I have been here for several years and I have never seen it once."
Mu Mian said in a knowing tone, "You can hardly see them during the day. They usually come out at night. I don't know what they came out for today. I just happened to run into them."
As the two sisters-in-law were talking, Zhao Meihua, who was standing beside them, suddenly laughed as if she had remembered something. "I remember your brother got pricked when he was twelve or thirteen years old. He sat on a hedgehog while running in the mountains."
Mu Mian was surprised, his round eyes full of curiosity, "Is there such a thing?!"
Liu Shuangcui obviously remembered it too. She was busy with her hands but kept talking. "That's right. I cried so hard when I got pricked. When I came back, I still had a thorn on my butt."
"I told him to show it to me, but he refused, saying that he was too big and couldn't let a lesbian see his butt."
"Your father wasn't home at the time, so I asked your fourth uncle to take a look. There was a thorn stuck in the flesh. Fortunately it was removed, otherwise it would have been swollen."
Mu Zhuo, the person involved, also shared his own experience, "For a long time after that, I only dared to sit on stones."
I was afraid that if I accidentally sat in the haystack, I would sit on something.
Nie Sihui couldn't help laughing out loud, "They say once bitten by a snake, one becomes afraid of ropes for ten years. You're almost there now."
Mu Mian was also laughing so hard that tears were about to come out, "Hahahahahaha, is the hedgehog okay?"
Mu Zhuo slightly widened his eyes, "Is this the point?"
There was a hint of resentment in his tone, as if he was accusing his younger sister of being ruthless.
Mu Mian patted his elder brother on the shoulder and said, "Hey, obviously you are fine, brother. Then I can only ask our Bai Daxian."
Mu Zhuo: "It's fine. I didn't even sit firmly. The little thing poked me in the butt and ran away very fast."
Mu Mian was overjoyed, "He must have been scared by you."
Mu Zhuo: "I was shocked."
While several people were chatting and laughing in the kitchen, Comrade Mu Fugui also came home. Mu Mian showed the Yuan Datou to her father again, and Comrade Mu Fugui naturally asked a lot of questions.
The three of them got together and chattered non-stop.
In the middle of the night, it started to rain heavily and didn't stop until the next morning.
Mu Mian slept in, and when he woke up he felt the air outside was fresher.
This weather is really pleasant.
Unlike yesterday, it was so stuffy as if I was in a steamer.
The rain was a little lighter in the afternoon, but it didn't stop. It was drizzling and the air was full of the smell of earth.
Without having to go to work, everyone just stays at home.
There was a radio on the table, and next to it, Nie Sihui was holding a new dress and perfecting the small details. Some parts were difficult to sew with a sewing machine and had to be sewn by hand.
This piece of clothing was naturally made for Mu Zhuo, and it was winter clothing, so he was planning to let him take it with him when he left this time.
Although the weather is still hot now, winter is actually coming very quickly, in just two months or so. By then, the weather will still be quite cold whether in Ningzhang City or here.
Nie Sihui was halfway through when she called Mu Zhuo over and held the clothes on him to test it out. "You still need to sew one more button and button up the bottom as well, so it won't be easy to get wind in."
Mu Zhuo lowered his head and looked at his wife. "I'm not afraid of the cold. It's enough to buckle up here."
Nie Sihui: "Even if you are not afraid of the cold, you still have to protect your stomach."
Mu Zhuo curled his lips and said, "Okay, I'll do as you say."
Next to them, Mu Mian, who was helping the old lady sort out the yarn, looked back and forth between the two of them, grinning in a weird way, and even imitated them, "Grandma, I'll listen to you too."
The couple, who had been acting very natural just now, felt inexplicably embarrassed by the girl's teasing.
Zhao Meihua laughed out loud, "You're teasing your brother again."
Mu Mian snorted, "You won't be able to find anyone to cause trouble in the future."
There was a strong sense of reluctance in the playful tone.
---
A week was really very short. It passed in the blink of an eye, and in the blink of an eye it was the day for Mu Zhuo to leave.
The night before, the three families got together for dinner.
This week, several families prepared a lot of things for Mu Zhuo, including food, daily necessities, and clothes. Even the two sisters Xiao Mi Miao wanted to give a few of the beautiful candy wrappers they had collected for a long time to their eldest brother Zhuo.
After Mu Zhuo expressed that he really didn't like these things at his age, the two sisters gave up regretfully.
As for the Liu family, their uncle and aunt also sent a lot of things.
When Mu Zhuo came back before, he carried two big bags, and when he left, the number of things almost doubled. If you didn’t know, you might think he was moving the whole house away.
Fortunately, he is very strong, otherwise someone else would probably not be able to lift it.
The old lady is very good at storage. She stuffed things here and there and finally organized them into three big bags, which is just right for carrying one on the back and two on the back.
On September 20th, the weather was a bit cloudy.
Mu Zhuo has a ticket for this afternoon and is going to take a bus to the city.
The whole family got up very early. Before it was even light, the old lady was in the kitchen making dumplings, pure white flour dumplings, with a kerosene lamp.
By the time we finished packing, it was almost dawn.
The round dumplings were put into the pot one by one, and after eating them, it was time for Mu Zhuo to go out.
Just like when they came back, Liu Shuangcui went to Xu Yongshou to get a letter of introduction so that they could be sent to the city.
The difference is that this time Nie Sihui is here.
At the doorstep.
Just like more than two months ago, the old lady held her eldest grandson for a long time and was unwilling to let go, and both the grandmother and grandson had red eyes.
But no matter how reluctant he was, Mu Zhuo still had to leave.
Zhao Meihua moved her mouth and said for a long time, "Be sure to pay attention to safety!"
Mu Zhuo nodded, "Grandma, I know."
Comrade Mu Fugui tried to liven up the atmosphere, hooking his boss's shoulder and saying, "Don't be reluctant. In a few years, when this kid gets promoted and gets a house, we can all move in and live with him, eating and drinking his food until he gets tired of living here. Who knows, then... Hey, what's that word called?"
Mu Mian understood his father very well, "They are tired of each other."
Mu Fugui nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, that's what I want to say."
Mu Xinglong laughed and said, "You're just going to leave me and the fourth brother here? I won't agree. I'll take your aunt with me and become a poor relative who begs for money."
As he spoke, Mu Xinglong nudged Mu Xingwang with his arm twice, "What do you think?"
Mu Xingwang silently took two steps to the side and said, "I'll see with my eyes."
The old lady glared at everyone and said, "The more you say this, the more outrageous it becomes."
Mu Xinglong sighed, "I am so wronged. It was clearly my elder brother who started it."
The old lady let go of her grandson's hand and ignored her three sons standing beside her. "Hurry up, don't miss the bus. Send a telegram when you get there."
Come. ”
Mu Zhuo responded, "I will definitely take the photo as soon as possible."
Today is Friday.
It was actually still early. The three siblings Mu Qing, who were going to work at the commune, had not left yet and were thinking about going with Mu Zhuo, as were the brothers Xu Gaoyi and Xu Gaoyi.
Together with Mu Mian and the others, this journey was truly a grand one.
Mu Fugui took two pieces of luggage, Mu Mian took one, and Mu Zhuo had nothing in his hands, but he couldn't stop talking.
One person pulled him aside to talk, another pulled him aside to chat, and the group soon arrived at the commune.
The shuttle bus does not wait for anyone and leaves on time.
It was already past eleven in the morning when we arrived at the provincial capital.
Mu Zhuo's train ticket was at around 3 o'clock, so he could go to a state-owned restaurant for a meal during the trip.
After eating, we went to the train station and it was almost time.
The provincial capital's train station is always crowded no matter what time it is, with people getting on and off the train. When Mu Mian and her friends arrived, it was half past one, and there was still about an hour before they boarded the train.
It seems like there is still a lot of time left, but in reality, it passes very quickly.
Mu Mian felt that before she could say a few words, the staff over there started to tell her brother that he could get on the bus.
Many people ran towards the door with their luggage on their backs, as if they were afraid that they would not be able to squeeze in.
Mu Zhuo didn't try to squeeze in. He was carrying a large bag on his back and had two more bags at his feet.
Liu Shuangcui urged, "Don't dawdle, get in the car."
Mu Zhuo moved his mouth and said something similar to what his father had said before, "When the houses are divided in the future, we will all move in."
Comrade Mu Fugui had said this in a joking tone before, but Mu Zhuo was quite serious and he really meant it.
Mu Mian's eyes were slightly red, and she forced a smile, "What a big house that would be, three rooms wouldn't even be enough. If you and Sihui give birth to ten or eight more kids, I, your sister-in-law, would probably have to pack up and leave!"
The little girl successfully made everyone laugh with just a few words.
Liu Shuangcui glanced at her daughter and said, "What kind of words are you saying, little girl?"
Mu Mian blinked. She was not wrong. Her sister Sihui had been getting up later and later these days.
The adults were flirting with each other, as if she really didn't understand.
Nie Sihui's eyes were originally just a little red, but after being interrupted by Mu Mian, her face also turned a little red.
At this time, the staff's voice reminding everyone to get on the bus sounded again.
Mu Zhuo picked up his luggage and said, "Then I'm leaving."
Nie Sihui whispered, "Let's go."
Mu Mian waved his arms, and the scene slightly overlapped with that of more than two months ago.
But this time, Mu Zhuoyue went further.
