Chapter 59 New Home
On the left side of the yard is the kitchen. A shed is built at the back of the kitchen. It should be where firewood is placed on weekdays. The wellhead is also next to the kitchen. On the far left, pigpens and chicken pens are built, and the toilet is also there. After all, pig manure and chicken manure are excellent fertilizers.
It is precisely because of the bad location, and the fact that all households in the village basically have houses, and no one can afford the price of this house, Mushui's family took advantage.
"When I buy the house in the future, move the toilet, and it's better to build a bathroom." Mu Xiu thought to himself.
Mu Xiu walked around and found that there were nothing in the house except for two beds and a set of tables and chairs. The door panels and chairs were all worn out and the kitchen was empty.
Mu Xiu took out a set of cooking tools from the space. Fortunately, when she wanted to go back to the mountains, she bought the simplest big sea bowl. Now she took out the iron pots and chopsticks one by one.
I took out a small stone mill and placed it in the kitchen. In the future, I could make tofu, soy milk, wooden plows, rakes, hoes, and shovels and other simple farm tools, all arranged along the corner of the wall.
Speaking of these farm tools, it happened that Muxiu had modern machines, and every household in the mountains had farm tools, so only a small amount of new ones were purchased.
But Mu Xiu happened to encounter a farmhouse with the theme of the 1960s and quit. The things inside were dealt with in large quantities. Mu Xiu saw those dilapidated farm tools that were no longer used in the mountains, and felt that they felt it very much, so he bought them at a very cheap price.
I wanted to keep it as a souvenir, but I didn't expect that this would come in handy. Otherwise, I wouldn't know how to explain it if a bunch of new farm tools were put out.
Mu Xiu took out some of the worn-out wood he had collected in the provincial capital and put it in the shed. When the wood water came, he used these scraps of materials to repair the doors, windows and chairs.
As soon as he finished doing this, the sound of pushing open came from the door outside. Mu Xiu knew that it was his parents who brought his sister over.
"This house is so big and magnificent." Zhou Shuilian looked around in surprise.
"Mom, like this place." Mu Xiu walked into the yard and began to take east and west into the house.
"I like it, this is much bigger than your grandma's house! It would be great if I could live here all the time." Zhou Shuilian held Xiaohua in her right hand and touched her with excitement in her left hand.
"Yes, this house will definitely belong to us." Mu Xiu said firmly, then took out scattered coins from his pocket and handed them to Zhou Shuilian.
"Mom, I still have five dollars here. I'll give you three dollars. I'll leave two dollars. This is our last possession."
"This is the money you earn. If you take it, I believe you." Zhou Shuilian refused.
Mu Xiu thought about it, but she didn't force her anymore. Then she had to go to the county town. It would be not too late to give Zhou Shuilian to the point of making too much money.
The three of them were busy for a while before cleaning the house inside and out.
"I really didn't expect that Lao Sun would leave so many things in the house, otherwise we would have to buy these pots and bowls, so how could we get money?" Zhou Shuilian scooped out the water that had just been made from wooden water from the water tank and began to clean the pots and bowls.
"No, you see, this kind of farm work is better than what you used to be with my mother. This old grandson is really willing to put it in the house, and he is not afraid of being taken away." Mushui sighed while stroking the hoe.
"I went to the county town to enjoy my happiness. These things are all used for farming, and it is useless to bring them away." Mu Xiu explained.
"Anyway, if I live in the county town and don't do farm work in the future, I will definitely sell these things. How much can I exchange for?" Mushui said with a silly smile.
As soon as I was busy, time passed quickly. It was soon evening. Mushui looked at the sky and said to Zhou Shuilian: "Mother, go and cook some hot water first, cook dinner, I will return the cart, and then get some straw back, otherwise the bed will be too hard to sleep."
"Okay, go and go back quickly." Zhou Shuilian reminded.
"Okay." Mu Shui carried the bamboo basket on his back, pushed the wooden cart and left.
"Dad, come back and buy some salt and vinegar." Mu Xiu chased him out and shouted at Mushui.
"There is no one selling salt in the village." Mushui turned around in confusion and looked at Mu Xiu.
Then Mu Xiu realized that yes, you have to go to the county town to buy seasonings such as salt and vinegar. Only when the peddler comes to the village can you buy these small things from the peddler.
"I'll borrow some salt. Let's go to the county town to buy it and return it back." Mushui thought for a while and said to Mu Xiu, and then continued to push the cart away.
Mu Xiu looked at Mu Shui's figure who was leaving and thought to himself that there were too many things to buy. It seemed that he would go to the county town as soon as possible.
Sixty kilograms of wheat bran are piled up in the bedrooms of Zhou Shuilian and Mushui, and are stacked in the corner of the wall. Nowadays, everyone has put food like this. Looking at it every day, I can tell how long I can eat it. It is safe to put it like this. Although people are simple nowadays, the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds, and there will always be a few rat shit that have broken a pot of soup.
Mushui had explained the origin of this wheat bran just when she was cleaning the room. Zhou Shuilian looked at Mu Xiu with a complicated face. She didn't know when this daughter was so capable.
This time, when Hua was sick, she broke up, and now in this big house, everything was like dreaming. It was all Mu Xiu's credit. Whenever there was something, she was in front of her.
"Mom, did you find anything to eat just now?" Mu Xiu looked at the wheat bran and asked casually when he thought that Zhou Shuilian had just said that she was going to find something to eat.
"I looked around there, but I couldn't find anything except bamboo... I didn't find anything else." Zhou Shuilian looked guilty.
"It's okay, I'll eat more here. I'll go out to find it and come back soon. Wait until I come back and I'll cook." Mu Xiu picked up the basket and walked out the door.
"It's almost dark, go and go back early." Zhou Shuilian reminded him worriedly.
"knew."
This season is when shepherd's purse, wild onions and bracken grow. Muxiu soon dug some shepherd's purse at the foot of the mountain.
When she returned home, Mushui happened to come back with a basket of straw on her back.
"Xiu, this is salt, save some money." Mushui handed Mushui a small box the size of a matchbox in his hand to Mushui.
"Dad, you go back to the house to rest first, I'll go cook." Mu Xiu took the salt and walked towards the kitchen.
First wash the shepherd's purse, chop it into pieces, add clean water to the wheat bran according to the proportion, then put some white flour in it, and then knead it into dough.
Baimian Muxiu didn’t dare to use too much, otherwise Zhou Shuilian would say that because there was little dough, the dough would barely stick together after it was kneaded...
