Take A Husband For Farming

Only until late in the morning did the few of them slowly wake up and eat a few buns in the cold water. As they did not have Mu Yun and his family here, the two families were chatting and laughing with each other, and it was already afternoon by the time they returned home.

Pa.s.sing by the Qin Er"s house, Tie Mu heard the commotion and ran out of the house. He saw his mother, his father, continuously ripping things off from the carriage with a grin on his face.

Second Uncle Qin originally wanted to help the two siblings to chase the donkey cart back home. Seeing that his wife was still trying to coax her daughter to get off the car, he couldn"t help but ask, "Alright, I"ll bring her back later. Tie Shu, quickly help your mother bring everything in."

Qin Tieshu winked at Mu Jinzhi, then rolled up his sleeves and went to help.

Along the way, they pa.s.sed by the village, where many families saw Mu Jinzhi"s family"s donkey cart. The village was only this big, and was able to be opened by people who a.n.a.lyzed everything, not to mention that their family even went to a county city. Along the way, people would greet them and they would glance at them from time to time in their cars.

Second Uncle Qin was also a shrewd person. Even though he had received benefits from his family, he did not show it. When someone asked him what he had bought, he only smiled and said that he had bought some cheap Chen food for the Mu siblings.

When they left the western end of the village and rushed the donkey cart up the slope, the three of them heaved a sigh of relief.

When they arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, Mu Jinzhi got off the carriage and opened the gate. Seeing that the two of them were still in the courtyard when they were about to leave, he felt at ease, and went to look at the chickens and pigs. Only his pigs who were hungry for a day yesterday looked dispirited as they saw Mu Jinzhi appear today.

This scared Mu Jinzhi so much that he hurriedly called Mu Rousang over, "Sister, what"s wrong with our pig? "How dare you!"

Mu Rousang was quite speechless, how could she not be fierce? Seeing her master coming over meant that they could eat whatever they wanted!

Second Uncle Qin helped drive the donkey cart into the yard, then called Peach Blossom out, "Jin Jin, Second Uncle Yi saw that your pig is panicking from starvation, so he quickly got some pig food to feed it. If it"s starved for a long time, we"ll lose some fat." Second Uncle Qin"s face was filled with pain as he watched the fat pigs climb up the pigsty. How hungry was he!

"I"ll go now!" Mu Jinzhi rolled up his sleeves and prepared to enter the kitchen.

Mu Rousang hurriedly stopped him, "Brother, I"ll go. You stay with Second Uncle for a while, I"ll go heat up some water for everyone to drink."

Second Uncle Qin waved his hands, "Rou Sang, you can do your work first. Second Uncle has just drunk at home. Peach Blossom, let"s go home first. You can come back another day to play with Rou Sang."

Second Uncle Qin ignored the two siblings" pleas for him to stay, and dragged Qin Taohua out of the courtyard with each step. Mu Rousang looked at her with her small eyes that were stuck on the carriage, and shook her head in amus.e.m.e.nt.

He turned around and pulled Mu Jinzhi to the side of the car, "Brother, let"s put the things down first."

"Little sister, go cook some food for the pigs. Big brother will handle it by himself!"

Cooking food for a pig? Mu Rousang was shocked by his teasing, "Alright, then when Big Brother moves these brocades later, be careful not to b.u.mp into any sc.r.a.ps of cloth."

Mu Jinzhi pinched her little nose, "Alright, little housekeeper. Big brother will definitely be careful, this was personally selected by my little sister."

Receiving his guarantee, Mu Rousang arrogantly lifted his tail and went into the kitchen to heat up the fire to cook the pig food.

After Mu Rousang finished cooking the pig food and fed it to the pig, it was already dinner time. Mu Rousang, who had not even had the time to count how many things she had bought, dove into the kitchen.

Mu Jinzhi was naturally reluctant to leave her at home, so he washed his hands and went into the kitchen to help with the cooking.

There are a lot of pigs at home, but luckily I have yang-ge"s help. It"s just that he"s not here for these few days, so I"m really tired of him. In the future, I will get up early to help little sister clean up after I finish practicing.

Mu Rousang covered his mouth and laughed, of course, the last time she went in to help Mu Jinzhi, she was knocked down by the little pig using her mouth, and it was also because she did not have enough strength in her calves.

"Got it, big brother, let"s quickly cook. Second Uncle Qin is still worried about the snow today!"

Mu Jinzhi stopped to continue talking, he then focused on the work in his hands, and after the two of them had finished eating dinner and cleaned up, small snowflakes had already started to float in the sky. For a moment, a thin layer of pure white snowflakes covered the mountain peak, the treetops, the roof, and the fields.

She had just pa.s.sed through the door to here in the beginning of spring, but who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, a year had already pa.s.sed. When she thought about how the roof could pierce through the sky, and how she could see the stars on the bed at night, although her house was still a mud-brick house, when she pushed open the door, she realised that it was not any worse than a rich family"s.

At the bottom of the bed, there was a thick layer of straw, and two layers of quilts were placed on top of the straw. The sheets were made from the white rabbit skin, and inside the bed, there were two thick blankets, which were also made on the brick bed. On the brick bed, there were a few plates, and on the plates, there were a few bright red and smooth apples.

What was burning inside the brick bed was wood charcoal, not firewood. Of course, this wood charcoal was also created by Mu Rousang in her spatial s.p.a.ce, and only Mu Jinzhi did not care about the price.

Mu Jinzhi first went into the room and lit the oil lamp on the table, then called Mu Rousang in, "Little sister, don"t look at the snow for too long at night, it will burn your eyes!"

Mu Jinzhi carried her into the room and put her on the brick bed, then took off his shoes to touch her bag, "Little sister, obediently sit on the brick bed and eat. Big brother will go and close the door."

Mu Rousang casually nodded, she lowered her head and picked up the spoils of war she had swept through the city, and looked at these brocades, other than the majority of them being white brocade, there was also a portion that was gorgeous.

She then took out his newly-bought jewelry box, which was filled with flowers that Mu Jinzhi had picked out for her. Tor"er, she really liked those two sets of silver bracelets, so she wore them on her hands and shook them off.

Mu Jinzhi coincidentally walked in from outside and saw her movements, he immediately stopped her, "Why isn"t little sister wearing it? It"s winter now, and I can still cover it with my sleeves, not to mention that Eldest Uncle and his family is still in the city, why not little sister wearing it at home to play." In the end, he couldn"t bear to see his sister wearing worse clothes than other families, so he wanted to buy more jewelry for her even if he had food in his house.

"Brother, I was just thinking of pulling down a few centimeters of the gorgeous brocade. It"s almost New Year"s. Who else can I prepare besides your husband and mistress"s clothes?"

The Liu Xiucai was a scholar, and normally, the most important part of it was wealth. Whenever Mu Jinzhi was festive, he would only sell two catties of wine to others for food.

"Sister, Teacher might not accept you!" Mu Jinzhi was a little worried. It was obvious that Mistress would happily accept the presents, but during festivals, if she were to give him anything, Teacher Liu would definitely not take it. Furthermore, Mistress was even scolded.

Mu Rousang immediately understood his worry, "Brother, no matter what, this is a new year festival, and is different from the old days. Giving Mister"s family some clothes was something that you, his student, respected deeply, and furthermore, didn"t you say that the Mistress would be happy to have us gift you with?"

Mu Jinzhi thought that it made sense, as it was the new year and Teacher Liu shouldn"t be too excessive, "In Master"s family, other than the Mistress, there is also a son and a daughter. The son is slightly older than the brother, and the daughter is about the same age as the peach blossom."

Fortunately, Mu Rousang had bought a lot of things earlier, so she had to prepare well for Mr. Liu"s Boxing Ceremony.

"Then let"s prepare a few feet of brocade for Teacher Liu"s family to make a set of clothes, add a few more silk flowers for his daughter, and fill a piece of pine ink for his son. What do you think, big brother?" This was the first time Mu Rousang was preparing to make a comeback, so he did not know why these scholars were so particular about things.

Mu Jinzhi thought for a while and felt that it was a little light. "At that time, I will sell you two catties of wine and add two Rabbits." Although Teacher Liu could not change his mind, he had taken good care of him ever since he closed the ceremony.

"Alright, I understand!" "Elder brother, take a pen and some paper and jot down all the items that we bought this time. We also need to know how much money we spent." Mu Rousang squinted his eyes as he laughed. Without knowing it, his big brother, who was in his stomach, was once again being tormented by Mu Rousang.

She did not want Mu Jinzhi to not know how to manage money in the future. If he did not know how to manage money, could it be that the money was kept in boxes until it became moldy?

Mu Jinzhi thought that it was true, normally his family only bought meat dishes, the rice and vegetables were grown by themselves, and the chickens were raised by themselves. It was just that this time, the expenses were too much, he had to calculate how much money he spent to buy them, and in his heart, he had a good idea.

"Thanks to little sister"s reminder, we have a better idea in our hearts. We can save as much as we want to spend, and spend the money on what places we want. We can also settle our accounts in the future."

Mu Jinzhi did not think that Mu Rousang was so complicated, he just thought it was a good way to save energy.

The two siblings lit an oil lamp and Mu Jinzhi sat in front of his desk. Every time Mu Rousang reported a thing, he would write down their name, single price, and quant.i.ty. This was also what Mu Rousang had taught him, saying that he wanted to check them later.

Mu Rousang"s clear and tender child"s voice echoed within the room. Even the snow outside the window couldn"t help but want to peek into the room, but it was blocked by a thick layer of paper.

After Mu Jinzhi finished counting, he calculated carefully, "Ya, little sister, the silver that was saved after bargaining with the shop owner"s Great Clearing Stock Market for a total of dozens of silver taels less."

His voice was filled with unconcealable excitement. Who wouldn"t want to eat better and wear better clothes? Who wouldn"t want to have more silver at home?!

Mu Rousang did not bother to pay attention to him, she got down from the brick bed and walked to the wardrobe, instructing Mu Jinzhi to put the pieces of cloth into the cabinet. She then took out an indigo silk shirt covered with rabbit hair, and held it in her hands, trembling.

"Big brother, I brought this back to the town a few days ago to get a master to sew it." Big brother, I brought this back to the town a few days ago to sew it up.

Mu Jinzhi felt that his life was so blissful right now, he could not help but listen to his little sister"s orders happily. "Why isn"t little sister sewing for herself?"

Now, he knew that the things made from rabbit fur were not only warm but also windy. He reached out his hand to touch the soft rabbit fur.

Mu Rousang saw that he had put on the vest, and helped him straighten out the clothes inside as she nodded in satisfaction: "Big brother, how do you know I didn"t do it! Hehe, don"t worry, our family"s rabbits have been sp.a.w.ning many babies, so we have enough rabbit skin s to use. "

Mu Jinzhi touched the clothes on his shoulders, it was the first time he had worn silk clothing, "Hehe, of course not, it"s a pity that big brother wants to study, if not, I can raise more at home."

Mu Rousang liking little bunnies did not mean that she was willing to raise a large group of them at home. Having the s.p.a.ce to raise a nest in was already very satisfying for them to be able to use it for themselves.

Mu Jinzhi asked her again, "Little sister, where"s yours?"

Mu Jinzhi rubbed his hands and sighed, "Little sister, wait for two more days, my little sister can also wear bright red and goose yellow clothes."
