Butcher and little girl

Sure enough, the next morning, Mu Kongqing walked back home with the morning dew. Those who didn't know thought that the child was studying in the county, and it was important to think about his parents, and he had to come back early to see his parents.

How could Mu Dingxiang not know this elder brother's temperament, if it wasn't for lack of money, he would not want to go home at all if he took a monthly rest.

Mu Mu cleaned up the house for him, and every time she came back, she said that the bed was too hard and uncomfortable.

After listening to what he said too much, Mumu gritted her teeth and bought him two beds of cotton and sewed thick quilts under them.

On the other hand, Mu Lilac's bed was covered with a layer of straw and a tattered mat on top. Even the quilt was a thin layer. In winter, Mu Lilac felt that every night seemed extraordinarily long.

If Mu Kongqing didn't go home, his room would be locked tightly. Mu Jueming once sneaked in to sleep for a night, and was scolded bloody later.

I have to admit that Mu Kongqing is a person who knows how to drill and talk, and he only picks up good things to say to the Mu family. He looks filial and full of ambition. Everyone thinks that this young man has a bright future.

Mu Mu was fed bowl after bowl of ecstasy soup by him, and she also felt that her eldest son would be able to stand out in the future, maybe he would be the champion, and then she would be the mother of the champion. Who else in the village would dare to look down on her?

Every time Mu Kongqing came back, she would walk around the village twice with her chest upright, telling everyone that our Kongqing came back today, and that the master of their school praised him every day for his good reading.

Several old sister-in-laws who had never been on good terms with her saw her elation, and felt disgusted in their hearts, and no one was willing to come forward to talk to her, and a few of them gathered behind and whispered.

Mu Mu originally wanted to show off, but no one came to support her. She suddenly felt bored and went back home in despair.

Hearing that the eldest son said that he wanted to eat meat, he gritted his teeth and went to the entrance of the village to cut five taels of meat. When he cut the meat, he was literally cutting off her body, and every extra tael hurt his heart.

He could only comfort himself constantly, that when his son was admitted to be the number one scholar, he would be the mother of the number one scholar, so there would be no need to worry about it.

Mu Dingxiang went out to work in the field early in the morning, and she didn't have to be wary of Mu Mu when she was cooking. The main thing was to guard against her 15-year-old son, who was so good at eating, that he would give away the meat for the future champion. I ate it.

At noon, the old man Mu didn't come home, and it was just the three of them eating. Mother Mu pushed a small dish of meat in front of Mu Kongqing, and there was only a pot of wild vegetables in the middle of the table.

She has been keeping a close eye on her younger son, for fear that his chopsticks will fall into the wrong place.

Mu Jueming suddenly felt dissatisfied: "They are all sons, is there such a partiality?"

"You are not a scholar, what kind of meat do you eat?"

"If you and Dad were willing to spend five copper coins a month for me to go to a private school, maybe I would have won the Juren by now." Mu Jueming looked mocking.

Seeing his attitude, Mu Mu suddenly became angry: "Your elder brother studies hard and is weak. You don't do anything every day, and you can still pick and choose."

Mu Jueming looked at Mu Kongqing Kongwu's powerful body in front of him, it had nothing to do with what Mu Mu said about being weak, but he knew the rules of survival in this family, so he snorted and stopped talking. Just looking at the opportunity, he put a piece of meat in the bowl and ran away.

Mu Mu was so angry that she chased him and cursed.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Mu Kongqing felt disgusted in his heart. If it wasn't for the monthly money, he would never want to go back to this dilapidated house and listen to his mother swearing around with these vulgar words.

It's better to just eat a casual meal in the county than this.

But he has always been tactful and flattering, so he smiled and pushed the small plate of meat to the middle of the table: "Mother and younger brother eat together, the master said, it is better to be alone than to be happy alone! The master also said to respect the old and love Younger brother, mother and younger brother must eat this meat together."

When Mu Mu heard what he said, although she didn't know what solitary Lele Lele was, but it must be a good word, she felt very relieved, carefully put a small piece into her mouth, and swallowed it into her throat along with the saliva, still wanting more He said: "You are a good boy. It seems that your master has taught you well. Your brother and I have tasted it. You can eat the rest."

Then Mu Kongqing pretended to be helpless, and ate up the meat on the plate.

Schools in the county have two days off for bathing a month, and Mu Kongqing has to stay at home for one night if he wants to get money.

When the old man Mu came back in the evening, he also cut off a catty of meat. Because the old man was there, the greediness of these people during the meal was not as obvious as at noon, but they were all cut shortly after the table was served.

The old wooden man looked at the plate that was empty in a blink of an eye, and he didn't have a few pieces of meat in his hands. He couldn't help frowning, and without saying a word, he went back to the room silently after eating.

Only the mother and son bowed their heads to pick up the rice.

It was already dark when Mu Dingxiang returned home, and she didn’t need to go into the kitchen to know that there was no food left for her, but fortunately, she passed by Wu’s house on her way home, and Aunt Wu stuffed her with a small ball of glutinous rice, with some rice balls sandwiched between them. The mung beans were still sticky with lard, which made her stomach swell, but she still couldn't get enough of it.

As soon as Mu Dingxiang entered the house, she met Mu Kongqing who was walking outside, ignored him, and walked directly to the room with her head down.

It can be said that the main source of the Mu family’s current financial difficulties is this person in front of him. Every month, the family’s money is saved and used for him to study, but I don’t know if he is studying seriously outside?

But these have nothing to do with her, even if Mu Kongqing really can go to high school one day, it will not bring her any benefits.

And according to her observation, Mu Kongqing's admission to a scholar was nothing more than shit luck, he was not a student at all, if this kind of person can also be promoted to be an official, then Da Zhou is really doomed.

When Mu Kongqing saw her younger sister whom she hadn't seen for a long time, on the one hand she was surprised that she had grown taller and transformed into a big girl, and on the other hand she was annoyed that she didn't take her big brother seriously.

Immediately put on the majesty of the boss, and scolded: "Sneaky, where did you go to fool around so late before you come back?"

When Mu Dingxiang heard his tone and tone, she laughed angrily: "Where are you going? Of course I went to help my good elder brother earn money, otherwise elder brother thinks you can study comfortably in the county. By whom?"

After hearing this, Mu Kongqing felt dull, and said in a bad manner: "Shut up, when did I spend your money? And how much money can you earn as a little girl?"

"I take care of the five or six acres of land at home, and the money I get from selling grain every year is given to my elder brother to repair it. Dad has the strength to go out every day to earn monthly money for you, and I grow what I eat. Food, do you think you have spent my money?" Mu Dingxiang stared at Mu Kongqing with bright eyes, without any timidity.

Mu Kongqing didn't expect her sister, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, to be so eloquent, and her aura was no weaker than those women in the city, and it was quite different from her two obedient older sisters.

Mu Mu happened to be walking this way, and heard their conversation, how could she see her good son being scolded by this little girl, running over with cursing on her little feet, and scolding Mu Dingxiang all over her head and face.

"You damn girl, who is your elder brother working so hard to study in the county? It's not for this family. After he is the number one scholar in high school, our family will live a life of luxury in the future. What do you care about farming now? "

Top pick?

If a person like Mu Kongqing can win the first prize in this life, the sun will come out to the west, and Mu Mu can say such a thing without shame, if an outsider hears it, he will laugh out loud.

The word "Zhuangyuan" lingered on the tip of Mu Dingxiang's tongue, but in the end she still didn't say any harsh words.

At this time, it is better not to go head-to-head, one-on-two, maybe even one-on-four, the one who suffers will be yourself in the end.

She immediately suppressed the sharpness on her body, and said in a flat tone: "That's right, then I will wait for the day when I become the number one scholar."

Of course Mu Kongqing could hear the sarcasm in her tone, she couldn't help frowning slightly, and there was a hint of anger on her face.

It's a pity that his mother turned the topic around: "You are worthy of being the champion's younger sister, and you are also worthy of—"

Come over and beat her after speaking.

Where did Mu Dingxiang get her way, she quickly dodged and ran into the room, and locked the door to block out the cursing voice.

Mu Jueming, who was lying on the bed with Erlang's legs crossed, saw her embarrassed look, and said with a sneer, "You are really good, you can make my mother unhappy when you come back."

"To each other, once your champion brother comes back, you won't be a good son to your parents." Mu Dingxiang snapped back unceremoniously.

"No. [-] scholar! Pfft—" Mu Jueming couldn't help sneering, "It's fine to talk about it in the room, but if I really say it, I won't be able to hold my head up in front of A Liang."

A Liang is his best friend.

Mu Dingxiang ignored him, and didn't mind one more person in the room to help her share Mu Mu's artillery fire.

Lying on the bed, I was very exhausted. The day's work consumed most of my energy, and I didn't have time to help others mow pigweed for a little money.

But she can't let go of the work in the field. The value of her existence now is that piece of land. If she quits now, her parents will be able to find someone to marry herself off immediately.

Mu Dingxiang couldn't help sighing, closed her eyes and started to sleep, but she couldn't help but a picture appeared cyclically in her mind, specifically a figure, it had been like this every day for this period of time, the more anxious she was, the more she yearned for it .

The man was riding a tall horse, galloping on the country road, his clothes and long ribbons were blown up by the wind, free and carefree, as if he could come and go freely between heaven and earth without any restraint.

The Mu family's field is close to the road, and every time this figure gallops past, it forms a sharp contrast with Mu Lilac trapped in the muddy rice field.

I really want to be like her, so free and unrestrained.

In fact, that person has no noble status, but is a butcher who kills pigs for a living, and Mu Dingxiang knows her name.

Her name is Chu Yu.
