As soon as Meng Haisheng entered the house, he saw Lin Mucheng drying wheat in the yard.

She should have washed it in the morning, and it was almost dry now.

"Mucheng, who sent this wheat?"

Meng Haisheng asked curiously while putting Chaihu next to the well.

"My eldest brother sent it."

Meng Haisheng's eldest brother Meng Hailian's family lived with his parents. Meng Hailian should have known that he went to deliver dumplings last night.

The flour in the market was all expensive. Meng Hailian thought about how hard it was for Meng Haisheng to make a few dollars, so he personally delivered half a bag of wheat.

Meng Haisheng couldn't help but think of his previous life.

At that time, he valued his face more than his life.

The family was so poor that they couldn't even afford to eat, but he didn't tell his parents and just kept on trying.

In the end, his family was gone.

If he told his parents that there was no food at home, would they really let them starve to death?

"I caught a wild rabbit in the mountains today. I'll cook it and send a pot to my parents."

The rabbit weighs at least two kilograms without the skin and internal organs. Add some onions and green peppers and you can fry a large pot.

Lin Mucheng's eyes fell on the wild rabbit in Meng Haisheng's hand.

She didn't say much. She took the wild rabbit and looked at its claws. After confirming that it was not a rabbit that Meng Haisheng stole from someone else's house, she spoke.

"I don't know how to peel a rabbit. You can do it."

Meng Haisheng looked at Lin Mucheng who was still drying wheat with interest.

"Mucheng, have you raised rabbits before?"

"I raised two with my grandmother when I was young."

When Lin Mucheng spoke, he didn't look up at Meng Haisheng, but was busy with his own work.

"Is that so."

Meng Haisheng put the wild rabbit aside and looked at Lin Mucheng with a smile.

Does she still not trust him?

"Aren't you curious about what I'm going to do with all the bupleurum I dug?"

"What's there to be curious about? You must sell these bupleurums for money. You can't keep them for yourself."

Meng Haisheng was scolded by Lin Mucheng.

He touched his nose. What his wife said seemed to be right?

"Today and tomorrow I will go to the mountain to dig bupleurum. I will come back early tomorrow afternoon to pick cucumbers, and the day after tomorrow I will go to Haiqing Town to sell cucumbers."

"Wait until the bupleurum at home is dried, and then I will take it to the county to see if it can be sold."

"Mucheng, I said that I will treat you and Momo well in the future."

Lin Mucheng finally raised his head. This was the first time Meng Haisheng told him his plan.

Meng Haisheng never told her what he wanted to do or where he wanted to go on weekdays.

Momo, who was sleeping on the kang in the room, heard the voices of Meng Haisheng and Lin Mucheng and climbed onto the windowsill to sit.

"Mom, Mom."

Lin Mucheng saw Momo wake up, so he quickly put down his work and came to hug Momo.

Momo, who was carried out of the window by Lin Mucheng, giggled happily.

"Momo, let dad hug you, okay?"

Meng Haisheng's heart melted when he saw his cute daughter.

"No."

Momo pouted and lay on Lin Mucheng's neck, not wanting Meng Haisheng to hug her at all.

"You are too dirty, go wash it quickly."

Lin Mucheng touched Momo's forehead and felt that she was sweating a little. He didn't dare to let her stay in the yard for too long, so he carried her back to the house first.

Meng Haisheng, who was standing aside, saw Momo clinging to Lin Mucheng so much, and he felt very uncomfortable with mixed feelings.

He couldn't imagine how Lin Mucheng took Momo to grow so many cucumbers when he was always away from home.

Thinking of all that Lin Mucheng had done for this family, Meng Haisheng clenched his fists tightly.

"Hurry up and clean up. Mom and Dad have dinner early."

"Okay, I'll be there right away."

Taking a shower in the summer is convenient. Meng Haisheng just splashed well water on himself, and the heat immediately dissipated.

He made a hook with wire, hung the hare on the wall, and began to peel the hare skin.

With Meng Haisheng's help, it didn't take long for a strong aroma to come from their kitchen.

Momo was too young to eat spicy food. Before adding green pepper to the rabbit meat, Lin Mucheng took out a few pieces of rabbit meat for Momo, and then put the pepper into the pot to stir-fry.

While Lin Mucheng was cooking, Meng Haisheng held Momo in the yard to play.

He had very skillful hands and could weave beautiful little rabbits with corn husks.

Momo never had any toys, and a little rabbit made of corn husks instantly became a rare thing.

She held it in her hand and was reluctant to let go for a moment.

The sun slowly moved westward, and the sky was stained with a gorgeous sunset glow.

Suddenly, Meng Haisheng heard the quarrel between Liang Xiaocui and Meng Guanghe not far away.

Meng Haisheng listened carefully and laughed.

It turned out that Meng Guanghe went to Haiqing Town to sell cucumbers and tomatoes today.

Because Meng Guanghe walked slowly, heIt was almost noon when he arrived at Haiqing Town.

The market was not open, so he could only set up a stall on the roadside.

But he couldn't set up a stall on the roadside as he wanted. He was driven away several times. He had no choice but to push the cart and sell it in the streets.

He didn't know how to shout. When people didn't ask him on the street, he didn't say anything.

In the end, he wandered around Haiqing Town for a whole afternoon, and he was almost exhausted, but he didn't sell a few kilograms of cucumbers and tomatoes.

In a rage, Meng Guanghe pushed the vegetables back home.

After walking back and forth for dozens of miles, Meng Guanghe felt that he was about to collapse from exhaustion.

As soon as he got home, Meng Guanghe quarreled with Liang Xiaocui.

"How can you be so stupid? Meng Haisheng, that stinky boy, can sell more than 200 kilograms of cucumbers."

"You went out for a day and didn't sell 10 kilograms in total, and you pushed them all back. Aren't you ashamed?"

"What do you know, you dead woman? Do you think it's so easy to sell vegetables?"

"I think Meng Haisheng must have lied to us. He didn't go to Haiqing Town to sell cucumbers at all."

The two people quarreled loudly, and all the neighbors could hear it clearly.

Originally, everyone heard that Meng Haisheng went to Haiqing Town to sell cucumbers for 20 cents per kilogram, and they wanted to go and see it in the next two days.

Now hearing what Meng Guanghe said, everyone gave up.

A round trip of dozens of miles, just relying on two legs, if it really can't be sold to Meng Guanghe, it will be a big loss.

Meng Haisheng held Momo and played for a while, and Lin Mucheng prepared the rabbit meat.

Along with the rabbit meat, there were also a dozen pot stickers made of white flour.

The pot stickers were stuck to the edge of the pot, and the side close to the iron pot was already browned, with a strong wheat aroma.

"Mucheng, you are really good at cooking."

Lin Mucheng was a little embarrassed by Meng Haisheng's praise.

"When I first went to the countryside, I didn't know how to do anything. It was other educated youth who taught me."

Lin Mucheng went to Xiashan Village right after graduating from high school.

She endured in this village year after year, watching other educated youth return to the city one after another, but Lin Mucheng was still silent.

Later, it rained heavily here, and Lin Mucheng happened to be picking mushrooms on the mountain. She accidentally fell into the valley and was rescued by Meng Haisheng.

It was summer at the time, and the two of them were wearing thin clothes and hiding from the rain on the mountain. Originally, the matter would have passed without saying anything.

But as luck would have it, when the two came out of the cave, they were seen by the villagers.

At that time, the crackdown was in full swing. If the news got out, the crime of hooliganism could put both of them in jail.

In the end, they had no choice but to get married.

At that time, Meng Haisheng learned that the reason why Lin Mucheng had not returned to the city was because her parents and brother were still in the remote mountainous area for reform and had not returned to the city.

After so many years, Lin Mucheng occasionally communicated with her parents, but only one or two letters a year.

"Mucheng, have you contacted your parents recently?"

Meng Haisheng suddenly asked.

In his previous life, he went south after Lin Mucheng died, and many years later, he returned to Xiashan Village.

Meng Haisheng had never heard that Lin Mucheng's parents had come to visit her grave.

He was curious, what was going on with Lin Mucheng's parents?

Their daughter was gone, why didn't they even come to see her.
