Chapter 122

"Can that thing really sell for money?!" Chen Xuhui was surprised at first, then pushed Mu Xiu's hand away and said, "I don't want it, you dug it."

"Really, why am I lying to you? If you hadn't taken me with me that day, I wouldn't have found it. In short, you will have the money. Winter is here. If you don't buy some winter things, you will not have such good luck when you get sick again. Just happened to meet me and come to find you." Mu Xiu pouted and sent the money to Chen Xuhui's hand.

Chen Xuhui was stunned by Mu Xiu's words. Yes, it was getting colder and colder these days, and it was getting harder to find food. The food he had been looking for before was not enough. Thinking of the winters in recent years, he even caught mice to eat. Those days, I really felt a little scared... I was really lucky before and never got sick. If... If I get sick again... I wouldn't I have no way to wait for my mother to come back again!

Mu Xiu saw that Chen Xuhui did not object anymore. She stuffed the money into Chen Xuhui's hands, and then said, "Brother Chen, I still need your help."

"What's up?"

"You have obtained the fur of those animals before, and have you kept it?" Mu Xiu asked expectantly.

"I'm collecting it. I originally thought I could sell it for some money, but..." Chen Xuhui replied.

"You know how to use nigra?" Mu Xiu asked immediately.

"Well, what Grandpa Li taught me in the village used to be, but he... has passed away." Chen Xuhui's voice sank as he said this.

"Where is the skin?"

"Here!" Chen Xuhui lifted the torn bed sheet, and saw that there was a layer of fur from various animals under the sheet...

Mu Xiu: "..."

"It's too cold and these things can't be sold, so I put them under the bed to keep warm. With these, I'm not afraid of snow!" Chen Xuhui said this and looked at Mu Xiu with a sudden realization and said, "Do you have to make a bed if you want these furs?"

"No..." Mu Xiu resisted the idea of ​​saying yes. Such a fur mattress... is so luxurious! The layout must be very warm, and Mu Xiu also wants to have such a mattress...

Mu Xiu knew that if she said she wanted it, Chen Xuhui would definitely give it to her, but she couldn't be so selfish. If she took it away, how could Chen Xuhui survive the winter...

"Then?" Chen Xuhui looked at Mu Xiu with some confusion.

"That's right. I want to sew a fur on Xiaohua's hat. If you have any fur in the future, keep it for me and I'll buy it." Mu Xiu replied.

"Okay, if you want to kill the rabbit you raise, I will help peel it." Chen Xuhui thought for a while and said.

"Then let's make up, Brother Chen, you lie down, I'll go and serve you food." Mu Xiu left after saying that.

When Mu Xiu brought the prepared hot rice and hot dishes, he watched Chen Xuhui eat it, then took out another bowl and gave Chen Xuhui a bowl of sweet water that she added with antipyretics. After watching Chen Xuhui lie down, he packed up his things and left.

After taking the medicine, Chen Xuhui's medicine came up and his eyelids could not be opened. He fell asleep in a deep sleep.

Mu Zhijun returned home just as the sky was almost bright. Mu Aijun, who was in the same room, slept deafeningly, and he didn't notice that Mu Zhijun had not been in the room at all.

Mu Zhijun did enough physical work that night, lay on the bed, closed his eyes and fell asleep. This time he slept until midnight.

Liu Yumei felt sorry for her son and did not wake him up. It was almost time for lunch that Mu Zhijun opened his eyes, put on his clothes quickly, and went to Liu Yumei's house.

"Mom, let's discuss something with you."

"What's the matter?" Liu Yumei put down the needle and thread in her hand and looked at her son.

"Li Xingzhi said that it would cost me three hundred yuan to arrange my work, so you can help me take it out first." Mu Zhijun said in a little embarrassed.

"What? I want three hundred?" After hearing this, Liu Yumei's face changed.

"Mom, this is working in the government. In the past, I went to the yamen and became an official. This is my lifelong event. Think of a solution." Mu Zhijun said dissatisfiedly.

"Son, your family's money is all your breasts. I have saved up a little over the years, but that's not enough!" Liu Yumei was also angry when she thought of the money. God knows how difficult it is for her to save every dime under Liu Yaomei's nose.

"You go find my breasts with my father, please beg her." Mu Zhijun looked at Liu Yumei expectantly.

"That old woman, last time she asked her to pay extra money to find a wife for you, she would never let go. And that Wang Guiying is really a thousand-die person. She is gossiping in front of your milk all day long, just afraid that your milk will give us more money in private." Liu Yumei recalled the morning and saw Wang Guiying coming out of Liu Yaomei's house. Seeing her smiling eyes, she didn't know how much bad things she had said recently.

"Your breastfeeding doesn't even think about it. Mu Yonghui wants to look like a lack of appearance, he has no knowledge, is lazy and greedy, giving him money is equivalent to throwing it away, but you are different. Whether you give you money to find a job or a wife, you will be the most promising person in our Mu family." Liu Yumei had mysterious confidence in her son.

"My breasts are so old and confused. When I become rich in the future, she should not expect me to be nice to her." Mu Zhijun spitted a mouthful of phlegm on the ground and walked back and forth in the house. Suddenly, he stopped and said excitedly: "Mom, go and borrow some money from Hongqiao. She should have money."

"Okay, I'll ask someone to go to the county town now, bring a letter to Hongqiao and ask her to come back." Liu Yumei stood up and walked out.

"Mom, I'll only take five days. You urge her to come back early." Mu Zhijun shouted softly.

"I understand." Liu Yumei hurried to find Chen's sister-in-law. She was going to the county town tomorrow and dragged her to send a message to Hongqiao.

The next day, Mu Xiu got up early and said to Zhou Shuilian after dinner: "Mom, I'll go to the county town to see how pickled vegetables are sold?"

Mushui and Mu Xiaocao, who were still eating, put down their rice bowls at the same time and said in unison: "I'll go with you."

"No, I'll come back after seeing it, and I don't bring anything. You don't have to worry about me. This is not the first time I've been there." Mu Xiu picked up the basket and walked out the door.

"Xiu, I'd better accompany you." Mu Xiaocao was still a little worried.

"It's not expensive to take the bus back and forth! I heard from the loudspeaker in the village that it's going to rain. You and your father quickly get more straw and hay. Yesterday was not enough. Well, I'm almost unable to catch up with the bus." After Mu Xiu said that, he stopped waiting for everyone to speak and ran out all the way.

When Mu Xiu got into the car, he saw the Chen sister-in-law waved to her and shouted, "Mu Xiu, come and sit next to me."
