MTL - It’s Hard For a Good Wife and Mother-Chapter 43 New house completed (1)
"...Father, there is no way to live through this day...Everyone comes to bully us, the big ones bully, and the little ones follow suit. This day is really hard to live through, can't live through..."
Mo Dai followed Mo Guihua out of the courtyard gate, and saw a man in a khaki gown lying on the ground under the plane tree not far from the gate, clapping his hands for time and crying loudly . Standing next to him was a little boy who kept crying, his face was covered with dirt and dust, two tubes of nosebleed mixed with snot and mud flowed down, just caught by his big mouth, 噫—, it made Maud feel sick Almost didn't spit it out on the spot.
She recognized the crying man, he was Murakami Mo Bajin's eldest son, Yan Guan, who looked exactly like his surname Yan Baba, and his mouth was very vicious, and the little boy was his six-year-old son Mo Yixin.
Mo Guihua copied the rolling pin without looking at the crying man on the ground, went directly to the plane tree, pointed at the tree with the hand holding the rolling pin, and shouted angrily: "Big cat, you are going to die for my old lady!" !"
Mo Dai followed the rolling pin in Mo Guihua's hand and looked up the tree. The little boy who was squatting on the branch of the big tree with a look of fear and disbelief was the big cat.
"My old lady told you to die, didn't you hear?" Mo Guihua continued to shout, shaking the rolling pin in her hand.
"I won't go down. If I go down, mother, you will definitely kill me. I, I won't go down...Wow..." The big cat hugged the branches of the big tree tightly, because he was too afraid of his mother Mo Guihua , Then also howled loudly. The big cat's voice was shrill and clear, which weakened Yan Guan's cries a little.
"You still have the face to cry! If you die for my mother, let her beat you up and it's over. If you don't come down, when my mother catches you, she will beat you to death!" Mo Guihua gritted her teeth while speaking. , the ruthlessness of the sentence "kill him directly" shocked Mo Dai, who never thought that Mo Guihua, who has always been honest and loyal, would have such a fierce side.
"...Wow...I won't go down...I won't go down..." After hearing this, the big cat cried harder, shaking his short legs hanging on both sides of the tree, making people worry that he would fall headfirst from the tree. down.
"You won't come down, right? Okay, you have the guts, you wait for my old lady!" Mo Guihua was so angry that she threw away the rolling pin in her hand, flipped the sarong around her waist, and rubbed it twice in the palm of her hand. So I have to go up the tree to catch the big cat.
The big cat was really frightened, the little hand suddenly let go, and fell from the tree upside down unsteadily. At this time, Mo Guihua had already climbed halfway up the tree, watching her child fall from the tree, She was also frightened. But it was too late, and Mo Dai ran under the tree like the wind, and caught the big cat that fell in one fell swoop. As soon as the big cat fell into Modai's arms, he was still in shock and howled loudly.
At this moment, Mo Guihua felt that the heart hanging in her throat fell back to her chest again, and the feeling of fear was hitting her chest cavity, and she also fell to the ground from halfway up the tree, all over the place. kind of. When the big cat saw his mother fall so ugly, he burst into tears and laughed, and directly sprayed a large lump of snot on Mo Dai's chest. acid.
Mo Guihua got up from the ground and looked at the big cat crying with a dirty look on his face. She couldn't have any anger in her heart, she just felt distressed, but when she thought of how he fell from the tree just now, she couldn't help but stare viciously. He glanced at him, and secretly thought that the three cats in their family must not be allowed to climb trees to play again in the future.
When the big cat saw his mother glaring over, the tears that had just stopped burst out again, and buried his little face in Mo Dai's chest while crying and rubbing. The trial God gave her.
"Mo Guihua, you can't just let it go like this. Your big cat beat my Yixin's nose until it bleeds. How many eggs will it take to make it up!" Yan Guan didn't know when he fell from the ground. Getting up, he didn't care about the dirt and grass on his body, and just pushed his own child in front of Mo Guihua.
Six-year-old Mo Yixin has a big head and a small body. He is obviously malnourished. His nose is still bleeding. Unexpectedly, his father not only didn't help him stop the bleeding first, but instead wanted to keep the blood as evidence. continue to flow. Mo Yixin was crying and crying, but the tears stopped flowing, and suddenly he felt his nose itchy, so he raised his sleeve and wiped it to the right, the blood and yellow snot were wiped on his face, and he even stuck out his tongue to lick it. There was blood and snot on his lips, and his father didn't care about him at all, and he was looking at Mo Guihua arrogantly at this moment, asking her to give him an explanation.
Mo Dai couldn't stand it anymore, she put down the big cat in her arms, ignoring the puddle of tears and snot smeared on her chest by the big cat, pulled out the sweat towel she carried with her from her sleeve and walked forward, holding Mo Yixin's hand in one hand. The back of his head, wiped his nose with one hand. Mo Yixin wanted to struggle at first, but Mo Dai didn't give him a chance to struggle, so he quickly said: "Come on, look up!" Then she said to Mo Guihua, "Sister-in-law Osmanthus, go get a basin of cold water!" Mo Guihua I hurried back to the yard to fetch water.
But this side of Yan Guan saw that Mo Dai insisted on making his son tilt his head upwards in discomfort, and rushed over in an instant: "Ah, Mo Daxi, what do you want to do to my son? Don't think that it's great if your family has money to build a big house." , if you mess up my son today, I will never let you go!"
"Get out of the way!" Mo Dai sideways dodged Yan Guan who was rushing towards her, frowned and said coldly, "Didn't you see that I helped your son stop the bleeding? No matter how many eggs you have to buy for his bleeding Can he make up for it by eating?"
When Yan Guan heard this, he immediately felt sorry for those eggs, but then he thought it was wrong, it was the big cat of Mo Guihua's family who beat his son's nose to bleed, and Mo Guihua should pay for how many eggs he ate!
Thinking of this, Yan Guan's back immediately straightened up again: "I don't care, anyway, the big cat beat my Yixin, Yixin lost so much blood, Mo Guihua must pay for it!"
"I didn't hit him, he knocked himself on the rock when he fell!" The big cat yelled at Yan Guan, his small face was tense, and his eyes showed the anger and grievance of being wronged.
"Yo, you bastard, you can tell lies. I clearly saw that you overthrew my family with all your strength, and that's why he knocked on a rock!"
"I didn't! I didn't! I didn't! Ah—" the big cat stomped its little feet vigorously while arguing vigorously, its little neck was bulging with veins, and its little face was flushed from shouting.
"You **** child dare to yell at me, believe it or not, I will beat you to death..." Yan Guan was also annoyed by the big cat's overly violent reaction, rolled up his sleeves and was about to beat the big cat, when Mo Guihua came over with cold water Standing in front of the big cat, with tangled thick eyebrows, he stared straight at Yan Guan.
"Mo Guihua, why are you glaring at me? It's because you, a mother, didn't teach your son well. Tell me, how do you want to compensate my son? He bleeds so much, how many eggs does he have to eat..."
"Tell me, how many eggs do you need to give up!" Mo Guihua's chest heaved violently, presumably she was also irritated by Yan Guan. At this time, Mo Dai was wiping Mo Yixin's face and forehead with a sweat towel soaked in cold water.
"You're sensible! My son has lost so much blood, it must cost twenty, no, fifty eggs!" Yan Guanshi opened his mouth.
Mo Guihua became even more angry, while Mo Dai thought in her heart, this man is so shameless, fifty eggs? He really dared to ask for it, so he just went to rob the house and forget it!
"How about it? It's not much. You won't want to give it?" Yan Guan sneered, pouted, his slender eyes swept from Mo Guihua's house to the construction site of Mo Daxi's house, and then from the construction site of Mo Daxi's house. Sweeping back to Mo Guihua's house, he said in a sour tone, "I just need fifty eggs from your family. If you help Mo Daxi's house every day like you, you can earn it in a few days!"
Mo Guihua was already too angry to speak, and Mo Dai finally knew why Yan Guan came to Mo Guihua's house to make trouble because of a little friction between the children, it was the word "jealousy"!
Mo Guihua was silent for a while before saying in a deep voice: "Fifty eggs, right? Okay, I'll pick them up for you when I get home, but my family doesn't have so many eggs right now, maybe there are only about twenty..."
"Then give as much as you have first, and remember to supply me with your chickens later!" Seeing that he was about to benefit, Yan Guan's complacency waved from his face.
Mo Guihua put down the pot and wanted to go back to the yard to pick up eggs. The big cat was in a hurry, and hurried to the gate of his yard, opened his arms to block it, and shouted: "Mom, I didn't beat him! I don't give him eggs from my house." Home!" As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes again.
Seeing Mo Guihua, she also felt uncomfortable, but it was not a problem to let that Yan Guan old pestle at the door of the house. Later, Daxi's house was going to be erected. It was obviously a festive time, but she made such a move, She always felt a little sorry for Daxi.
When she was helping to move the girder just now, Ermao and Sanmao went to her in panic and said that Yan Guan had made a fuss at the door. She hurried back to check the situation, and her three husbands were still helping to dig the tunnel in the backyard of Daxi's house. As soon as she came back, she saw Yan Guan lying on the ground crying for her father and mother, and seeing that Mo Yixin's nose was indeed bleeding, and her big cat was indeed hiding in a tree and did not dare to come down, so she was so angry that she went home to find a rolling pin To beat the big cat.
But she knew best about her son. Although the three cats were mischievous, they never beat or scolded other children. She didn't believe that the big cat would mess up this time.
"Get out of the way, kids, go play!" Mo Guihua pushed the big cat away, the big cat was unstable, fell to the ground, and burst into tears of grievance.
At this time, Mo Dai saw that Mo Yixin's nose was no longer bleeding, so she raised her eyes to Yan Guan and said, "Brother Yan, it is inevitable that there will be bumps and bumps when children play. The cat fights with all his heart, but the big cat says he didn't do it, and he doesn't know who is right and who is wrong, so you have to ask clearly!"
"Mo Daxi, what do you mean? You mean I'm telling lies to frame that **** boy Big Cat?" Yan Guan immediately put his hands on his hips, as if he was ready to swear.
Mo Dai smiled, and while wiping her chest with the sweat towel in her hand, she said: "I didn't say that, I just said that since you insist on your own opinions and believe no one is right, you must find witnesses or physical evidence."
"Bah!" Yan Guan spat on the ground rather rudely, then raised his big feet and stepped on them to rub them vigorously, "There is no physical evidence, and the witness is me. I said that the big cat pushed down my house." With one heart, he can't deny it!"
Mo Dai instinctively turned her face away, and just happened to see Xu Shaolin under the old locust tree in her family holding the two children Mo Xiaoyu and Mo Xiaoyi tightly, not allowing them to come here, presumably because she was worried that Yan Guan would point the finger at Mo Xiaoyu and Mo Xiaoyu again. Mo Xiaoyi's head. And the second cat and the third cat are also hiding behind the old locust tree and looking at this side.
"I didn't!" The big cat was crying, and when Yan Guan falsely accused him again, he quickly got up and screamed loudly.
"Big Cat, who else was there?" Modai asked.
"...there are two cats and three cats," Big Cat said uncertainly, "but they were squatting on the ground and playing with mud, so I didn't see it! Aunt Daxi, I really didn't push him, he pushed first I ran away in a hurry, but I tripped on the ground and hit a stone and broke my nose! If you don’t believe me, ask Mo Yixin!”
"Yixin..." Mo Dai turned to look at Mo Yixin beside him, and Yan Guan dragged Mo Yixin over.
"Mo Daxi, what do you want to do to my son?" Yan Guan wanted to protect Mo Yixin behind him, but he avoided him. Yan Guan was so angry that he pinched his arm and made him cry again. Yan Guan followed She just pushed and shoved him, and then told him not to cry with curses and scares.
Seeing Yan Guan's actions, Mo Dai felt disgusted in her heart, and said loudly: "Later, I will set off firecrackers and give out snacks on the beam at my house. If any child is honest, I will give more to the child. Not only snacks, but also snacks. There are also radish balls, sugar-coated peanuts, and braised pork..."
Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man. The big cat who was still crying and aggrieved immediately became energetic: "Aunt Daxi, I! I! I! I'm telling the truth! I really didn't push Mo Yixin! My favorite Eat the braised pork made by Aunt Daxi!"
And that Mo Yixin not only has snacks, but also meatballs, sugar-coated peanuts, braised pork, etc., his mouth immediately drools, he wants to eat so much, he opened his mouth to speak, but his father gave him a hard look , he shrank his neck in fright, but compared with his father's scare, he wanted to eat delicious food. So, Mo Yixin ignored his father's stop, and ran quickly behind Modai, and his father chased after him, so he played hide-and-seek with his father on Modai's body, panting while hiding: " Me, I'm telling the truth...it wasn't the big cat who pushed me...it was me who fell down by myself...I want to eat meat too!"
This sentence happened to be heard by Mo Guihua, who came out with more than 20 eggs, and then heard Yan Guan chasing and beating the child while scolding: "You bastard, what nonsense, daddy saw you being beaten!" The big cat pushed it down, if you talk nonsense again, let's see if Dad doesn't beat you to death!"
"I, I'm not talking nonsense...I want to tell the truth...I want to eat meat!"
"You **** child..."
"Enough!" Mo Guihua suddenly shouted loudly, "Bajin's family, have you had enough trouble? If you continue to make trouble, don't blame me, Mo Guihua, for being rude to you! Take the eggs! Although it wasn't made by my big cat , but after all Yi Xin bleeds, take it back and make up for him!"
Yan Guan originally heard Mo Guihua yelling at him, and he was angry and wanted to make a fuss, but now seeing Mo Guihua, although he heard his son tell the truth, he still gave him the egg, so he couldn't get angry again, so he took the egg and left , without even saying thank you.
Mo Guihua was so angry that she calmed down for a while before she smiled guiltily at Mo Dai and said, "Daxi, I'm sorry!"
Modai patted her on the shoulder: "What's the matter! Go get busy, it's time for me to send out snacks!"
Amidst the sound of firecrackers, a group of children cheered happily, each holding a snack made by Modai in their hands, as beaming as they were during the Chinese New Year. Among this group of children, two are the happiest, one is Big Cat and the other is Mo Yixin. Each of them got a small packet of food wrapped in greased paper, which contained snacks and radish balls. There are sugar-coated peanuts and a piece of braised pork that has been cold.
While carefully guarding his own food, Mo Yixin said to the big cat, "You are so kind, you can eat so many delicious things from time to time!"
"Xiaoyu and Xiaoyi are so kind. Aunt Daxi is their mother, and she cooks delicious food for them every day!"
"Oh, it would be great if Aunt Daxi was my mother! Isn't that right, Big Cat?"
Just as the big cat was about to answer, it suddenly occurred to him that he was still angry with Mo Yixin's father, so he snorted and turned his face away, and ignored Mo Yixin.
Mo Yixin scratched his head, flatteringly said: "I'm telling the truth, I didn't say you pushed it!"
"Then why didn't you say it earlier? Wait until Aunt Daxi says there's something delicious to say. You're not loyal. I won't play with you anymore!"
"I, am I afraid of my father..."
"coward!"
"Hmph, aren't you afraid of your mother!"
The big cat thinks about it too, anyway, mother doesn't blame him now, and he has delicious food, so please forgive Mo Yixin!
As soon as the girders were installed, the speed of laying tiles was very fast. Coupled with the skilled helpers under Shi Shi, almost all the houses, bathrooms and huts were basically completed that night. The chicken coop and the pigsty, the cesspit expanded and deepened, the sewer pipes laid with bluestone bricks and the final repairs.
Originally, Shi Mo estimated that it would take one and a half months to complete the project, but now it will be completed in just one month, Shi Mo did not expect it, and Mo Dai thought that the lunch he provided must have played a decisive role. Now I still need to find a carpenter to build some furniture and put it in each house. Although the well in the backyard has been dug, the water from the well is very muddy and needs some time to settle. There are still some details of the pots and stoves in the kitchen. . Shi Mo's helper team has already withdrawn, because they have to catch up with the next job, Shi Mo also went back to town for the time being.
This day, Mo Dai went to the town early in the morning as usual. The three brothers Xu Shaolin and Mo Wuyun started to clean up their new home with rags and brooms.
The two little ones were laughing, running and jumping in the courtyard paved with grinding stones, rolling on the ground from time to time, Xu Shaolin ignored them and let them play on the ground.
Xu Shaolin looked at the high-walled compound in front of him, never dreaming that one day he would be able to live in such a house.
Thinking about it before, when the wife-owner decided to adopt Daxi, although he and his elder brother didn't say anything, they still felt a little uncomfortable. At that time, Wuyun was only about one year old. After Wufeng and Wuqing were born one after another, they felt that the wives were wise. They didn't have a daughter, so it was great to adopt Daxi. Later, the head of the wife decided to marry Wuyun Wufeng and Wuqing to Daxi. Although the three children were a little dissatisfied with this, but thinking about it now, the decision of the head of the wife is still wise. Look at the current state of their family. How promising, this high-walled compound was built by her with all her efforts to earn money. If the wife and elder brother were still there, seeing the scene in front of her, I don't know how happy she would be!
Xu Shaolin thought to this point, he couldn't help but raised his sleeve and wiped the corners of his eyes, he is really old and useless, he will cry easily, if Daxi sees him, he should worry about him. Xu Shaolin sighed, the smile returned to his face, and he leaned on his crutches to check the backyard.
Mo Wuyun, Mo Wufeng and Mo Wuqing were also quite moved, thinking that they were about to move into this big house, their hearts beat uncontrollably faster. It's just that when he thinks of his wife, Mo Daxi, the expression on his face is different.
Mo Wuyun was a little confused. Originally, he knew that Mo Daxi was an incompetent wife who could not be counted on. Since he couldn't change the reality, he planned to spend his whole life with her in such a respectful way. Life and other things, he had married Mo Daxi long ago. That day is gone, so he lives every day indifferently. To be honest, when he learned that Mo Daxi fell off the cliff and his life was unknown, at that moment he felt a sense of relief that he was finally freed from the mud, but the ensuing confusion and bewilderment quickly surrounded him heavily. live. Mo Daxi is gone, his wife is gone, what should his family do?
However, when Mo Daxi reappeared in front of him, at that moment, the daze and bewilderment disappeared inexplicably, followed by the hopeless indifference that made him die of indifference.
But Mo Daxi has changed. She knows how to be close to children, be filial to her father, and considerate to her family. She doesn't know where she learned good cooking skills, and she took the initiative to go to the kitchen to cook for them. She knows how to defend her family and become tough, she doesn't drink or gamble, she knows how to earn money to support her family, and she built this high-walled compound in front of her alone.
Mo Daxi has really changed. She is sincere to her children and her father, and she will no longer beat, scold and torture them. She is very considerate to them, although it seems that something is missing. Dad often said that it is good to let them open their eyes to see more about Mo Daxi, and let them be more considerate of Mo Daxi. He understands what father said, and he has seen all the changes in Mo Daxi, but the memories she brought to them in the past are too miserable, and resistance to her has become an instinct.
Mo Wuyun looked at the two children who were lying directly on the polished stone floor after being tired from playing, and urged them to get up quickly to avoid catching a cold, while thinking to himself, Mo Daxi, I really hope you can continue to live like this...
"Brother, what are you thinking?" Mo Wufeng asked while wiping the window lattice with a rag.
"..." Mo Wuyun came back to his senses and smiled, "It's nothing."
"I didn't think about it, why were you so dazed just now?"
"...No wind, you say..."
"Ah, Wuqing, didn't dad let you do heavy work? You put down the barrel quickly, and I'll fetch water!" Mo Wufeng hurriedly put down the rag to pick up the pole on Mo Wuqing's body, which also interrupted Mo Wuqing. Yun wanted to ask for a moment.
After Mo Wufeng took over the burden, he suddenly remembered that his elder brother seemed to have something to say to himself, so he asked, "Brother, what did you want to say just now?"
"It's nothing, you can carry water yourself, be careful on the way." Mo Wuyun said with a smile. Mo Wufeng nodded in response, and then went out the door with two wooden barrels.
Mo Wu lightly touched his seven and a half month old belly, frowned and said, "Brother, you don't let me do this, and you don't let me do that, I'm too busy to be in a panic, and I'm going to die in a few days." , it will be busy again in January, I hope I won't drag you down by then!"
"What's the drag? You're pregnant, so naturally you can't do heavy work. If you're careless, both adults and children will be in danger!"
Mo Wuqing looked down at his stomach, frowned, and murmured: "I really don't want this child..."
"Wuqing!" Mo Wuyun interrupted Mo Wuqing's murmur, and said displeasedly, "No more nonsense in the future, if the wife-lord finds out..."
"Hmph! Let her know, so what? You let her talk about it herself. Does she have the face to tell how this child came from?" Mo Wuqing said, as if remembering something sad, the circles of his eyes immediately turned red , the eyes filled with tears were filled with humiliation and resentment.
Seeing him like this, Mo Wuyun's eyes also turned red, and quickly took a rag and continued to wipe the window lattice that Mo Wufeng hadn't finished wiping. After wiping for a while, he stopped: "Wuqing, we've already married, don't play tricks anymore. Child temper."
Mo Wuqing didn't speak, just lowered his head and looked at his belly, where a little life was being conceived, even though he said harsh words just now, if he really wanted him to abandon this child, he would never be able to do it of.
Full of blessings.
As usual, Modai was writing hard in the box on the second floor. Shi Lan has been full of blessings in the future for many days, and Modai wrote the script and handed it directly to Fang Ling. After more than a month of study, Fang Ling has no obstacles to recognize and read the simplified characters, but the old storyteller Shang Yihong still listens to it with his ears, and then develops on his own, without recognizing and reading those simplified characters.
At noon, when Mo Dai handed the story book to Fang Ling, Fang Ling also threw a bulging cloth bag to her. Mo Dai knew it was silver, and immediately said to Fang Ling, "Thank you, shopkeeper!"
Seeing that Mo Dai took the money and left, Fang Ling coughed: "Aren't you going to order the money?"
Mo Dai was stunned for a moment, then turned around and said with a smile: "The shopkeeper is doing business, don't worry."
"Tch!" Fang Ling sneered, not wanting to admit that he was so pleased by Modai's words just now, and coughed again, "There are two hundred and thirty taels of silver in it, if you think it's troublesome to carry it with you, I can help you exchange it into bank notes."
Mo Dai thought for a while, then untied the cloth bag, and saw that it was full of twelve taels of silver ingots, and said: "There is no need for silver bills, it is still safe to carry some heavy silver."
"Tacky!" Fang Ling gave Mo Dai a disdainful look.
"Hehehe, that's right, the little one spends all day worrying about whether the family can have enough to eat, isn't it vulgar! If the little one can be as gentle and refined as the shopkeeper, and act in a high-end manner..."
"Okay, okay, don't put a high hat on me, girl, I don't know what you think in your heart? Gentle and elegant? High-end atmosphere? Thank you for being able to break it out, but you really want to say that I am a copper-smell Be a profiteer!"
"No, no, absolutely nothing for the little one. What the little one said just now came from the bottom of my heart. The little one is able to get to where he is today, thanks to the hands of the shopkeeper. The little one has nothing but gratitude for the shopkeeper!" Mo Dai was very sincere. Looking at Fang Ling intently, she almost burst into tears.
"Are you really grateful to me so much?" Fang Ling raised her eyebrows with a smile that was not a smile, she spoke sweetly and sweetly, but she had to admit that what this girl said deeply touched her heart.
"really!"
"Okay, let's talk about a book tomorrow!" Fang Ling shook the hem of the water-blue silk shirt on his legs and stood up, saying in an unquestionable tone.
"Uh, Mr. Shang..."
"She has been talking for a month, she must give her a day to rest!"
"Only for one day?" Mo Dai asked.
"You can do it for two or three days!"
"No, no, my little voice is not good, and my little one has been busy with building a house at home for more than a month, and there are still many details that have not been sorted out, so..."
"Okay! Knowing that you are a busy person, let's say it will be done in one day?" Fang Ling gave Mo Dai a displeased look.
"Thank you shopkeeper!" Mo Dai immediately bowed and smiled apologetically.
Mo Dai came to the backyard to look for Xiao Xiao with money in her pocket, thinking that when Xiao Xiao asked for a break again in the future, she would go to Shi Mo's house with Xiao Xiao to pay back the money.
When Mo Dai walked into the backyard, she saw that all the helpers were having lunch, and Xiao Xiao was among them, but this time she no longer stood up like in the past and shouted at her brightly, "Daxi, here, here, I will keep it for you." It's time to sit." Today, she lowered her head and pawed at the brown rice in the bowl with a sleepy expression, and she didn't see her picking up a dish with chopsticks for a long time.
Mo Dai suddenly felt that things were strange. She had been busy building her new house for more than a month. Even though she went to Fumantang every day, she seldom talked to Xiao Xiao, and she didn't have lunch at Fumantang. In a hurry, she remembered that a few days ago, when Xiao Xiao was about to go home, she grabbed her and asked about the progress of the house.
"Xiao Xiao!" Mo Dai couldn't help shouting.
Xiao Xiao didn't seem to hear, she still lowered her head, picking at the rice grains in the bowl again and again, until a person next to her bumped her arm with an elbow, and she just came back to her senses. Looking up and seeing Mo Daxi, Xiao Xiao immediately burst into a smile, but the smile was more or less forced.
Mo Dai pulled Xiao Xiao to a secluded place, looked her in the eyes, and asked: "Tell me, what happened?"
Xiao Xiao looked into Modai's dark and bottomless eyes, and suddenly, the painful emotions that had been suppressed by her desperately burst out in an instant. The girl who used to have a bright and innocent smile now seemed to be taken seriously by a craftsman. Like a plastic skin, the whole face was twisted and wrinkled together, which made Mo Dai's heart tighten.
"Ugh..." Xiao Xiao cried on Mo Dai's shoulder all of a sudden, his crying was suppressed and hoarse, tugging at Mo Dai's heart more and more.
Mo Dai didn't move, just let her lie on his shoulders, feeling the damp heat and then cold touch of her shoulders, and silently accompanied her through this desperate moment that seemed to be falling apart.
After a long time, Xiao Xiao stopped crying, and Mo Dai asked again: "Is it about Shi Mo?"
Xiao Xiao couldn't make a sound, but Mo Dai knew that she had guessed right, this silly girl who laughed all day long, who could make her so sad except the man Shi Mo she was obsessed with?
"...He, left..." Xiao Xiao said hoarsely.
"Let's go, if you like, go after it, even if it's in the ends of the earth?" Modai said with a smile.
"But he doesn't want me. He thinks I'm stupid and annoying. He said that even if I'm the only woman left in the world, he won't like me..."
Mo Dai twitched the corners of her mouth, this man is so cruel, he actually said such words to Xiao Xiao who was obsessed with him almost to the point of madness!
Xiao Xiao paused for a moment, then suddenly raised his face from Mo Dai's shoulders, and looked at her with eyes as red as rabbits and protruding like goldfish: "Daxi, don't be angry with me!"
"Why, you dragged me into it?" Modai glanced at her indifferently.
"Huh? How do you know?" Xiao Xiao looked at her in surprise, and Modai was a little speechless. Anyone with a little insight can guess it, okay?
"I, I asked him if he likes you?" Xiao Xiao said while carefully looking at Mo Dai, seeing that Mo Dai didn't have any big reaction, he continued, "I told him, if he likes you, I will I won't pester him anymore, because I know you will make him happy..."
"Hehe, then I really want to thank you for trusting me so much." Mo Dai said with a bland smile, deeply troubled by Xiao Xiao's brain logic.
"Really, I really think so, except you, I don't think anyone else will love him more than me..."
"Stop! Girl, you have made a basic cognitive mistake. I, Mo Daxi, hereby assure you that I have absolutely no affection for Mo Mo other than friends. In my opinion, there is no such thing in the world. There is a second person who is so infatuated with him like you!" This Xiao Xiao, let her say what she wants!
"But you are very nice..." Xiao Xiao said unwillingly.
"Thank you for your compliment." Modai glared at Xiao Xiao with a smile, "Besides that, what else do you want me to say?"
"It's not like that, I just..."
"Okay, don't just stop, I still say that, if you like it, go after it!" Mo Dai silently omitted the second part of the sentence "Anyway, it's not a day or two for you to be ashamed".
"He, he said he would be back in a few months..."
"..." Mo Dai was quite speechless, what was the reason for crying so sadly and desperately just now? It made her shoulders wet a lot, and now it's icy cold when the wind blows, can she beat her to vent her anger?
Mo Dai was a little angry, she avoided Xiao Xiao's body and wanted to leave, she didn't know what the real suffering in Xiao Xiao's heart was at this moment, and only after she knew it did she understand why Xiao Xiao cried so desperately and helplessly.
Xiao Xiao also saw the large wet marks on Mo Dai's shoulders, so she smiled a little embarrassedly, when she saw that Mo Dai was about to leave, she hurriedly grabbed her, turned around and ran back to her residence, and ran out again after a while, but In her arms is a sauce-colored porcelain altar.
"This is the condensed milk my brother asked me to bring to you. He said that he was very sorry for taking your money before. If you still want this condensed milk in the future, just tell me. I will tell my brother later!" Xiao Xiaoxiao Looking at Modai, it seems that she has returned to the original girl with a bright smile.
"I'm just sorry, no, I bought these, I'll give you ten taels of silver first, and bring me all the condensed milk in the future!" Mo Dai took out an ingot of silver as she spoke. She believes that it is a continuous and continuous process for children to drink milk to nourish their bodies.
Xiao Xiao was dumbfounded, this ingot of silver was almost enough for her a year's wages, if she accepted it, she would be scolded to death by Xiao Sheng when she went back, but if she didn't accept it, Mo Daxi would definitely not want this condensed milk, This worries her to death.
"Why are you so sad? If Xiao Sheng asks, you will say that I insisted on giving it. From now on, not only condensed goat milk, but also cow's milk is also acceptable. I will have Xiao Sheng to supply me this year. !"
Hearing this, Xiao Xiao still had a bitter face, she was very puzzled, why Mo Daxi was willing to spend money to buy goat's milk, which other families despise to death? Forget it, she can buy it as soon as she buys it, but Xiao Sheng will definitely talk about it non-stop after she goes back!
Shi Mo left Liugang Town, Mo Dai hadn't returned the money, so he had to keep it until he came back. After leaving Fumantang, Mo Dai first went to Carpenter Gu's house in the town. Before that, the beams, door frames and window lattices of her house, the wooden doors of each room and the heavy door outside the front room were all custom-made in Carpenter Gu's house. This carpenter Gu was also introduced by Shi Shi, his craftsmanship is very good, and the price is fair. Earlier, the money was not enough, and the tables, chairs, cabinets and benches she ordered have not been paid yet. This time, Mo Dai came to pay. Several bullock carts pulled back to Mojia Village.
Carpenter Gu was very kind, and after receiving the money, he also gave Mo Dai a rocking horse for two young children to play with. A soft cushion is sewn with cotton cloth. These details all show that Carpenter Gu is making everything with his heart. On the other hand, it also shows that Shi Mo, a man, is indeed not simple.
Modai hired three bullock carts, put all the furniture on the bullock carts, and then went to the blacksmith shop. Blacksmith Wang Laoyuan has already finished the oven, iron bucket and simple valve she wanted. But when Mo Dai took out the money to pay, Wang Laoyuan smiled unnaturally: "Miss Daxi, actually, I made two sets according to the diagram you gave, so what, I also want to give it to my family." Don’t be surprised to build a pot and stove like the one you mentioned! Of course, as far as the price is concerned, I only charge the cost, do you think so?
