Chapter 7 The kitchen is cleaner than the face
Mujia Village, somewhere.
"What? He woke up? Didn't he become a living dead?"
"Hey, don't mention it. I don't know what kind of bad luck he had. He has woken up now and he gave our youngest couple a lesson today. Do you think he will tell us what happened?
.”
The bald man was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said: "No, if people know about this, his reputation will be stained, and it will be difficult for his younger brothers and sisters to get married. Don't forget that Mu Yun will be fifteen soon, so
He won't tell anyone, but don't bother him in the near future. Check the situation first, and if it doesn't work, then..." After the bald man finished speaking, he made a gesture of wiping his neck.
…
"I'm so hungry!"
In this day and age, we only eat two meals a day. The first meal is around 10 a.m., and the afternoon meal is around 3 p.m. Plus, all she eats in the morning is soup and water, so Zhang Wei is hungry by noon.
Zhang Wei went to the kitchen to see if there was anything to fill her stomach. As a result, I strangled her and the kitchen was cleaner than my face.
Mu Feng said: "The food, oil and salt are locked up, and the key is in the old woman's hand."
"I'm going to choke you! It's still locked up! Doesn't that mean you'll be hungry until the evening?"
Mu Yun said weakly: "Sister-in-law, we have always come here, and we ate quite a lot this morning!"
Zhang Wei sighed softly and said with great sympathy: "You are so pitiful!"
Mu brothers and sisters: "..."
Zhang Wei touched her flat belly and said: "There are always wild vegetables in the mountains! There are always fish in the river! Take me for a walk, take me to a nearby pond or riverside stream. If you don't get something,
I’m going to starve to death. Do you have any fishhooks at home? Or do you have any fishing nets?”
Mu Yun shook his head.
"If you don't have a fishhook, there must be an embroidery needle! You give me the needle and I'll bend it to become a fishhook."
Mu Feng and Mu Yun did not move, Zhang Wei exclaimed: "You don't even have a needle, do you?"
Mu Yun said aggrievedly: "After my mother died, my needles and threads were gone."
Zhang Wei is really speechless and asks the sky!
"Hey, today I finally know what it means to be 'so poor that you don't even have a needle!'"
When Mu Yun heard this, his face turned red with embarrassment. Mu Feng was okay. Anyway, his core was not Mu Feng, so he wasn't that shy.
"Forget it if you don't have any. Take me to the river to have a look. If it doesn't work, I have no choice but to fish in the river and dig wild vegetables in the mountains to survive. Alas..." My master's degree is really in vain.
Zhang Wei pushed Mu Yun and motioned for Mu Yun to lead the way.
Mu Yun's face turned red all of a sudden. Zhang Wei was confused and said, "Why are you blushing again? Boys, don't blush all the time. You have to be thick-skinned, otherwise you won't be able to get a girlfriend!"
Mu Feng was really speechless. Does this woman not know what "avoiding suspicion" means?
Mu Yun is already fourteen years old. As the elder sister-in-law, Zhang Wei cannot be alone with him in a sparsely populated place, otherwise the rumors will kill them.
Zhang Wei obviously hasn't realized this problem yet. As a person from the 25th century, how can she have such particularities?
"I'll go too," Mu Feng said.
"What are you going to do?" Zhang Wei rolled her eyes at him, "You also said you were going to put on a show for those people. You are going to be miserable now, the more miserable the better. You can't raise your arm, so you have to hang it like this..."
Mu Yun said: "Brother, don't go. Your injury is not healed yet. Get more rest and let Xiaoyu and Xiaoxue accompany my sister-in-law! I still have to go to work."
"also."
Zhang Wei had no objection, so Mu Feng had no choice but to warn: "Be careful."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Zhang Wei who did not understand the word "avoid suspicion" and said: "You...can't go into the river!"
"How can we catch fish if we don't go into the river?" Zhang Wei rolled her eyes at him and dragged the two little ones out.
"Xiaowei, where are you guys going?" Tan Hongmei also happened to come out from next door and asked.
"It's Mrs. Hong! We are starving and are going to go up the mountain to find some food."
When Tan Hongmei heard this, she sighed softly, then turned into the kitchen and took out two or three buckwheat cakes.
Although Mu Yu and Mu Xue wanted to eat, they didn't take it, and Zhang Wei was too embarrassed to take it. Not to mention that they had just met each other. There were not many types of food these days, the output was low, the fields were few, and the taxes were heavy. The Tong family still had four sons.
He was so poor that he couldn't get a wife, he couldn't have enough to eat, and Zhang Wei was too embarrassed to take other people's food.
However, Tan Hongmei forced it into their hands and said, "You have offended them so much this time. They will definitely not give you enough to eat. We will not starve to death even if we eat less than three buckwheat cakes. Take it!"
When people said this, Zhang Wei didn't show any pretense. She accepted Madam Hong's kindness and kept this feeling in her heart, thinking of paying it back tenfold and a hundredfold in the future.
After accepting the buckwheat cake, Mu Xue and Mu Yu's actions almost made Zhang Wei burst into tears. The two little guys never thought about eating alone, so they broke the buckwheat cake in their hands into two halves and ate one half by themselves and the other half.
Then he ran into the house to see Mu Feng and Mu Yun. Mu Xue's soft voice sounded: "Brother, you are injured. This is for you to eat. Aunt Hong gave it to me."
Zhang Wei was very moved by the understanding of these two little guys, but she was also a little embarrassed because she had already eaten the buckwheat cake, but she didn't expect to give half of it to others.
Tan Hongmei's eyes were moist and she said, "Hey, these kids are really sensible."
Zhang Wei didn't want to continue the conversation, but she still wanted to get something to eat. She asked Tan Hongmei again: "Auntie, are there bamboo craftsmen in this village?"
"Do you want to knit something or do you have any bamboo products at home that you need to repair? I can do that at home."
"Really!"
Tan Hongmei became more confident and said, "Why did you lie to me?"
"I have something to compile, please wait while I finish it." After saying that, Zhang Wei ran into the kitchen and took a half-burned piece of firewood as a charcoal. She also found a piece of paper from home and started writing it in a few clicks.
Draw a basket.
This basket is a magical tool used to invite fish into the water that often appears on Douyin. Zhang Wei doesn’t know if this thing can really catch fish, but there is always a try for everything.
"Uncle Tong, see if you can make this up..." Zhang Wei handed the paper to Tong Yi.
Tong Yi looked at it and said, "Okay, okay, but this is the first time I've seen this thing like this. What do you use it for?"
"I use it for fishing." The Tong family treats Mu Feng's family well, so Zhang Wei doesn't want to hide it from them, "To be honest, we don't have money to give you now. I have two plans here. Please listen to them.
Firstly, I owe you the money now, and I will pay it back to you later when I have money. Secondly, the thing can really catch fish, and we will share some of it with you to cover the cost. What do you think?"
Tong Yidao: "Don't say these foreign words. If it weren't for Feng Xiaozi's father, I would be a pile of bones now. I will make this stuff up for free!"
"That's right, if it weren't for Mr. Feng's father, your Uncle Tong would have died. How could your aunt and I have managed to pull off four other boys by myself!"
"Then I would like to thank Uncle Tong and Auntie first, but we don't have the money. When we really catch fish, we will share some of the things and make a toothpaste."
