When Meng Haisheng returned home, it was not yet lunchtime, and there were still a lot of grass bundles piled up at the door.

Ma Jinying and Lang Tieniu were weighing the grass bundles in the alley.

"Haisheng is back, oh, how did you dig so many bupleurum."

Yesterday, Lang Dali also went to the mountain to dig a bag of bupleurum. He dug that fertilizer bag of bupleurum from the daybreak until the sun went down.

After returning home, Lang Dali was exhausted.

Digging bupleurum is more tiring than working in the fields.

"I was lucky today. I saw a bupleurum nest, so I dug a little more."

Meng Haisheng didn't know that everyone else dug a little bit, he just thought everyone was about the same as him.

"Then you are really lucky today."

Ma Jinying looked at Meng Haisheng with envy as he carried two heavy bags of bupleurum.

It would be great if Lang Dali could dig so much. One pound of dried bupleurum costs one yuan, and so much after drying must be at least 40 or 50 pounds.

That's forty or fifty yuan.

For everyone in the village, forty or fifty yuan is a huge sum of money. After working hard for half a year, it's good enough to save that much.

Meng Haisheng put away the bupleurum, and seeing that Lin Muching hadn't come back yet, he washed his hands and came out to help Qu Lan collect the green grass bundles.

In fact, they had already collected all the green grass bundles in the morning. When a child asked if he could come to deliver them in the afternoon, Meng Haisheng still agreed.

The children in the village didn't have any pocket money. They wanted to eat something when they were hungry, but it was difficult to ask the adults at home for money.

Although you can't make much money by cutting green grass bundles, at least you can earn some pocket money to eat.

Near noon, everyone dispersed, and Lin Muching came back with big bags.

As soon as she reached the entrance of the alley, Meng Haisheng, who was collecting green grass bundles, came to meet her and took the things in her hand.

"It's so hot, right? I thought you'd be back soon, so I took out the chilled watermelon from the well. It's just right for eating now."

Lin Mucheng wore a sun hat when she went to the market, and came back on a tractor, but the scorching sun at noon still made her sweat all over her forehead.

"It's a little hot."

Momo, who was squatting in the corner watching Meng Haisheng packing up the grass bundles, ran up to Lin Mucheng affectionately when she saw him coming back.

"Mom, you're back. Momo misses you so much."

Momo didn't feel safe. She kept asking when Lin Mucheng would come home when she played with Qu Lan at home in the morning.

When Meng Haisheng came back, Momo became his little tail.

Wherever Meng Haisheng went, Momo followed him.

It was so hot, and Meng Haisheng wanted Momo to go to the entrance of the alley to cool off.

Momo refused to go either. She would rather squat at the door and watch Meng Haisheng carry the green grass bundles and suffer from the heat than leave Meng Haisheng.

Seeing that the long-awaited Lin Mucheng finally came back, Momo rushed up and hugged Lin Mucheng's legs.

The moment Momo called her mother, her big round eyes were full of tears.

Lin Mucheng was so distressed that he quickly picked Momo up.

"What's wrong, Momo? You haven't seen your mother for half a day, and you're crying."

"Let's go into the house. Mom bought you a beautiful little skirt and a big fish."

When Momo heard that there was food, her big watery eyes were instantly full of spirit.

The family went home happily, and Lin Mucheng put all the things on the table in the main room.

"Mom also bought a little skirt for Momo. I'll sew it for her in the next two days. Soon she'll be able to wear it."

Lin Mucheng smiled and took out a roll of cut fabric from the cloth bag.

Light pink pure cotton fabric, no pattern on it.

"Mucheng, why didn't you buy ready-made clothes? You're busy all day, where do you have time to do needlework?"

When the roll of fabric was opened, Meng Haisheng discovered that it was a roll of cut fabric with a few white and red rags inside.

"It's not only expensive to leave the clothes at the tailor in town, but it also wastes time. I'll make it for Momo when I get back."

"Besides, the little skirt I make is much better looking than the one at the tailor shop."

Lin Mucheng hugged Momo proudly.

The little skirt Momo is wearing now was altered by Lin Mucheng from her old clothes.

The three words "good baby" were specially embroidered on it with beautiful colorful threads.

Only the finished skirts sold in the market and the supply and marketing cooperatives have the words "Good Baby" on them.

Lin Mucheng embroidered these three words because she wanted Momo to wear a skirt like other children, instead of being an exception.

Lin Mucheng knew too well how important it was for Momo to fit in.

She couldn't let Momo become unique just because they were poor.

Meng Haisheng was a roughMan, if he was young, how could he understand Lin Mucheng's mind.

But it's different now.

The moment Lin Mucheng picked up Momo, Meng Haisheng understood why Lin Mucheng made a skirt for Momo by himself.

The tailor shop doesn't have such good skills as Lin Mucheng.

"Mucheng, I'm sorry."

Meng Haisheng's voice was very low, but Lin Mucheng, who was holding Momo and looking at the fabric together, heard it clearly.

She raised her head suddenly and looked at Meng Haisheng with complicated eyes.

She thought Meng Haisheng didn't know anything.

"Mucheng, you won't buy fabrics for yourself instead of ready-made clothes."

Meng Haisheng quickly looked away. He didn't dare to look at Lin Mucheng. He was too uncomfortable in his heart.

If he had woken up earlier, Lin Mucheng and Momo wouldn't have suffered for several years, and wouldn't have lived so humbly.

There was indeed a roll of beige plaid cloth in the bag, which was also cut, but no tailor was found to make it.

Meng Haisheng saw that there were other clothes in the bag and was about to take them, but Lin Mucheng took them away.

"I bought you a shirt and a vest. You are going to sell bupleurum in the county. If you dress decently, people in the city will not dare to look down on you."

Lin Mucheng took out a blue shirt and handed it to Meng Haisheng.

Usually, young people in the village wear old man's shirts in summer. Few people wear white shirts, let alone blue ones.

In the sultry summer, seeing a touch of blue gives people a cool feeling inexplicably.

Meng Haisheng looked at the shirt in his hand with a smile on his face.

Lin Mucheng still had him in her heart. She bought fabrics for herself and Momo to sew clothes, but she bought ready-made clothes from him.

"Mucheng, thank you."

Meng Haisheng quickly kissed Lin Mucheng's cheek, took the meat and fish she bought and went to the kitchen.

His kiss was so fast that Lin Mucheng didn't even react to what happened before Meng Haisheng left.

Lin Mucheng gently stroked her cheek and felt her face burning.

While Meng Haisheng was cooking, Lin Mucheng put everything in order, putting away what needed to be put away and washing what needed to be washed.
