MTL - It’s Hard For a Good Wife and Mother-Chapter 127
After a good night's sleep, Mo Dai woke up when she heard the sound of snow shoveling outside, she got up and got dressed quickly.
Opening the door, you can see a world of bright snow. There are ice edges of different sizes hanging on the bottom of the eaves of the corridor. Xu Shaolin is leading the family to shovel snow in the yard, including Qiongqing and Ciena who are helping with bamboo dustpans. The two little ones, Mo Xiaoyu and Mo Xiaoyi, followed the adults to play in the snow.
Mo Dai came to the kitchen to scoop up hot water mixed with cold water to wash, and found that Xiao Sheng had already prepared breakfast, boiled porridge, boiled eggs, and steamed a pot of white and fat buns. Half is stuffed with pork and half is stuffed with cabbage and shiitake mushrooms.
After Mo Dai washed up, Xiao Sheng also put breakfast on the dining table, and greeted the snow shovelers to have breakfast.
Today is the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month. According to the custom here, a lot of steamed buns are steamed, and a lot of meatballs and vegetarian meatballs are fried before the new year. Before going to bed last night, Mo Wuyun and the others had reconciled, and just as they got up after breakfast, the three brothers, Mo Dai, Xiao Sheng, and Mo Wuyun began to prepare steamed buns.
Xiao Sheng skillfully made animal steamed buns for the three little ones, longevity peach steamed buns for Xu Shaolin, and rice cakes. He poured hot condensed milk on the rice cakes and distributed them to everyone after paying homage to God.
Speaking of condensed milk, the boy named Song Aping sent it over for the Year of the Ox a few times before, but Xiao Sheng was not there at that time, so Mo Wuyun took it for Xiao Sheng, and gave it to the boy according to the money Xiao Sheng gave. Mo Wufeng once watched Xiao Sheng make condensed milk. When Xiao Sheng was away, Mo Wufeng made the condensed milk.
In the kitchen, Mo Dai and the others were very busy, and the aroma of food wafted out.
In the dining room, Xu Shaolin was weaving a bamboo box while watching the three little ones playing beside Qiongqing and Cigla. Maru Niu and White Cat Gua Gua were lazily nestling beside the small charcoal stove, and Gui Yi was also sitting beside the charcoal stove with his eyes closed, seemingly sleeping but not sleeping.
Mu Qianche was preparing the pills in his room, and Mo You was helping him grind the herbs.
Shi Mo wandered around the whole house, and paid the two guards to go home for the New Year. The two guards actually didn't want to leave so soon. They could smell the aroma of food wafting from the kitchen. They wanted to make it to tomorrow so that they could eat a few more meals, but the master had already spoken, so they had no choice but to leave.
After Shi Mo sent the two guards away, he wandered around again, and then went back to the backyard instead of going to the dining room, because there was a qiongqing inside. To be honest, he still dare not look at the qiongqing, it was so beautiful that he felt accurate. Another person who made him feel uncomfortable was Mu Qianche.
"You only came back last night when you were ugly. After tossing so late, what's wrong with the daughter of the Wan family?" Shi Mo asked, leaning against Mu Qianche's door.
"The wind and cold caused a high fever, and the old asthma also relapsed." Mu Qianche said, his hands kept moving, wrapping up a few herbs that he had picked out and handing them to Mo You.
"Tsk, asthma, that kind of disease is really fatal!" Shi Shi clicked his tongue.
Mu Qianche couldn't help raising his eyes and squinting at Shi Mo: "Master Shi, if you have something to say, just say it, Mu doesn't dare to pretend to be affectionate and think that your question just now is to care about Mu!"
Shi Mo snorted, and also squinted at Mu Qianche: "Although your personality is not very pleasing, it is important to have self-knowledge! That's right, how could I care about you? A married man doesn't come back until midnight, I'm worried that you will do something wrong to your wife-lord outside!"
"Kacha", Mu Qianche suddenly crushed a small porcelain bottle containing pills, but his hands were not injured, Shi Mo couldn't help but take a step back in shock, thinking to himself, why is this person so unbearable to joke about?
"Master Shi, take care of yourself first. As for Mu, if Mu does anything wrong to his wife-lord, Mu will definitely apologize with death!"
"Hey, what a big deal to die? Modai said, don't threaten people with death, everyone will die, but sooner or later!" Shi Mo sarcastically raised his eyebrows.
Mu Qianche ignored Shi Shi, Shi Mo was bored, and decided to go to the kitchen to find something to eat.
As soon as Shi Mo left, Mo You began to complain for Mu Qianche: "Young master, Shi Gong is too deceptive, and he will always stab you a few times on weekdays, thanks to you being able to bear him!"
"He didn't give him a good face before taking revenge on me. At the beginning, I thought that the wife-master would not marry him, and I persuaded the wife-master to stay away from him." Mu Qianche said lightly.
Mo You stopped talking, so what, what Mu Qianche did was really hurtful? If it were him, he would also bear Mu Qianche's grudge!
At noon, the family had just finished their lunch when someone came to look for Mu Qianche again. It was still the same Wan family. Mu Qianche hurried away with the medicine box on her back and didn't come back until Haishi.
Mo Dai hadn't slept yet, and when she heard the sound of him pushing the door, she also pulled the door and walked out: "Qian Che, you're back, have you eaten yet?"
"I ate it, I ate it at Wan's house." Mu Qianche turned her head and smiled at Modai, "It's so late, why are you still awake?"
"I'm worried about you!" Mo Dai blurted out.
"..." Mu Qianche's heart warmed, and she couldn't help stretching out her hand to Mo Dai. Without even thinking about it, Mo Dai walked to his side, and was hugged by him, "wife master..." Mu Qianche buried her face Entering into Modai's hair, deeply inhaling the faint fragrance of her hair.
"Well, have you encountered a difficult disease?" Modai reached out and hugged his waist tightly.
"Well, the patient had an asthma attack. I tried to control her condition with repeated injections, but the effect was not great. I think she might not last for a few days!"
"Do you want me to make a move?"
"Let's not do it."
"Why? Isn't the Wan family rich? Our consultation fee is one thousand taels, which is a drop in the bucket for them!"
Mu Qianche couldn't help laughing, he knew that Mo Dai was comforting him, and he said that on purpose because he was afraid that he would feel a burden in his heart, and his heart became more and more moved and joyful, and he hugged Mo Dai even tighter: "My wife, you are so kind ,very nice!"
"Well, I think so too!" Modai replied as a matter of course.
Mu Qianche was so moved that he wanted to cry, but was completely destroyed by Mo Dai. He really couldn't laugh or cry.
"My wife, I want to be hugged too!" Shi Mo appeared behind them at some point, leaning against the pillar, with a half-smile on his face.
Mu Qianche froze involuntarily, but she had no intention of letting go, but Mo Dai said at this moment: "Come here, let's go together!"
This time, not only Mu Qianche, but even Shi Mo was shocked by Modai's bold words.
The corner of Shi Mo's mouth twitched violently, and then put on a weeping expression: "My wife, how can you... I always thought you were a decent woman, but I didn't expect that you, like other women, dreamed of being married at the same time overnight." Yujifu, you really make me..." Shi Mo suddenly changed the subject, "Excited! Wife master, you finally figured it out, I will let you know that I will definitely be a hundred times stronger than someone!"
Mo Dai was overwhelmed by Mo Mo's misunderstanding, she only said that the three of them hugged together to show unity and friendship, where did he think? And the "someone" in his words must be referring to Mu Qianche. The two of them have been pinching each other since she came back. They are really good brothers!
Mu Qianche let go of Mo Dai, and flew towards Shi Mo with a sharp glance, completely ignoring him, and the contemptuous expression clearly said: Experts don't even bother to show off their tongues!
Shi Mo was very angry, and also shot Mu Qianche with a sharp eye: Only Mo Dai can judge who is the master!
Mu Qianche understood Shi Mo's shamelessness, so he simply ignored him, and said directly to Mo Dai: "My wife, it's getting late, it's time to rest." Then she took Mo Dai back to her room.
Shi Mo touched his nose and wanted to follow in, but was pushed out by a gust of wind. Shi Mo muttered angrily: "Tch, kung fu skills are amazing, today Mr. Ben will let you go first, hum!"
On the next day, on the 30th day of the new year, early in the morning, Xu Shaolin set up a table in the backyard, put on sacrifices, offered the tablet he had always treasured, burned incense in the small three-legged tripod, and paid homage to the dead Moa flower And Xu Shaohua, the whole family worshiped. When Qiongqing and Cigla also went to worship, Xu Shaolin obviously didn't accept it, but he didn't say anything. Zuo Modai wanted to marry Qiongqing, so it was appropriate to pay respects.
Mo Dai found that Xu Shaolin's mood was a little depressed, guessing that he must be thinking of the dead Mo Ahua and Xu Shaohua, and felt regretful, sad and lonely, or maybe he missed Mo's Village, after all, that was the root of his heart.
After breakfast, Mo Dai went to Wan's house with Mu Qianche, and saw Wan Ruyi who was ill. Only then did she know why Mu Qianche was so concerned about Wan Ruyi's illness, because Wan Ruyi's mother was also Wan Sumei, Has friendship with Mu Qianche's grandmother. As usual, Mo Dai fooled them first, and finally saved Wan Ruyi by dripping a drop of blood into the medicinal soup Wan Ruyi drank.
Wan Sumei was overjoyed. In addition to the one thousand taels of consultation fee, she also wrapped two big red envelopes for Mu Qianche and Mo Dai. One thousand taels, rich man!
After Wan Ruyi got well, she called Mu Qianche "Brother Che" openly and silently, but she was called by her name directly. Of course, she did not reveal that she and Mu Qianche were husband and wife, but they came hand in hand, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell if their relationship was good or not?
Originally, Mo Dai had no bad reaction to Wan Ruyi calling her and Mu Qianche that way, but when she saw Wan Ruyi looking at Mu Qianche affectionately, she felt a little uncomfortable.
In the main hall of the Wan family's main house, Wan Sumei invited Mu Qianche and Mo Dai to drink tea.
"Brother Che, try this, it's delicious!" Wan Ruyi picked up a piece of dim sum and presented it to Mu Qianche.
When Mo Dai took a look at the dessert, her eyelids twitched, it turned out to be the biscuits she baked, she remembered that Xiao Xiao seemed to have said that there was a Wan family who asked her to send biscuits regularly. This Miss Wan actually took the biscuits made by Modai herself to show her favor to Modai's man, I have to say, this Miss Wan is quite kind!
However, Mu Qianche has always been indifferent and does not accept Wan Ruyi's snacks. Wan Ruyi is also a piece of brown candy, if one move fails, then another move will be made.
"Brother Che, play Go with me!"
"Sorry, I won't."
"Huh? What about chess?"
"No."
"Impossible, my mother said that you are proficient in everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting!" Wan Ruyi looked in disbelief, and turned to her mother Wan Sumei, "Really, mother?"
"Ruyi, if you want to play chess, go to Mr. Song, don't embarrass your brother Che!" Wan Sumei also saw her daughter's feelings for Mu Qianche, but she also knew that Mu Qianche was married. , and the wife-in-law is Modai who is sipping tea gracefully in front of her. My daughter is too young to do things regardless of the consequences, alas!
"But I don't like playing with Mr. Song, I just want to play with Brother Che!"
"Stop messing around!"
"I won't!"
"You! Oh, really, it's all because of your mother who spoiled you, nephew, Ruyi is ignorant, don't take offense!"
"Where, my nephew understands." Mu Qianche smiled and cupped her hands, "Aunt Wan, my nephew and his wife are coming home, and I will visit you another day when you have free time!"
Wan Sumei was about to answer, but was snatched away by Wan Ruyi: "Ah? Brother Che, are you coming back now? Why don't you stay and have lunch! Okay?"
"No, today's New Year's Eve, my wife and I have to go home for dinner, Aunt Wan, farewell!" Mu Qianche stood up, followed by Mo Dai. But Wan Ruyi stretched out her arms and ran to Mu Qianche to stop him from leaving.
"Brother Che, why don't you stay and eat, stay!"
Wan Ruyi's long-tailed voice acted like a baby, which made Mo Dai's whole body get goosebumps. Wan Ruyi's spoiled temperament reminded Mo Dai of Shi Lan back then, but Shi Lan was pestering her, and now Wan Ruyi was pestering her husband.
What kind of person is Mu Qianche, who pushed Wan Ruyi to sit on the side seat without even touching her, and then walked out of the main hall with Mo Dai. Wan Ruyi's tears of grievance rolled in her eyes, and Wan Sumei sighed as she watched.
When Mo Dai and Mu Qianche were about to walk out of the gate of Wanjia, there was a sound of running footsteps behind them, and Wan Ruyi's sharp voice shouted: "Brother Che, I like you, I want to marry you." you!"
Mo Dai's scalp tingled, this Wan Ruyi was really unusually persistent, she always felt that she had saved a white-eyed wolf this time, but forget it, Mu Qianche would not talk to her, and their family had two thousand more. The income of the two can be regarded as a beautiful thing.
Hearing Wan Ruyi's confession, Mu Qianche frowned, without turning her head, she just said in a calm tone, "Thank you, Miss Wan, for your kindness. Mu has married as a husband, and this is Mu's wife." As he spoke, he took Mo Dai's hand again and interlocked his fingers intimately.
Wan Ruyi is still not reconciled: "What's the matter, as long as your wife's head divorcees, I will marry you in my life!" Then, she pointed to Mo Dai and said, "Mo Dai, tell me, How much money do you want to divorce Brother Che? Is five thousand taels enough?"
Mo Dai wanted to laugh when she heard this, Wan Ruyi is really spoiled, she must get what she wants, she really thinks the world revolves around her!
"I'm sorry, I won't give up any amount of money!"
"Ten thousand taels?"
"..."
"Twenty thousand taels?"
"..."
"Fifty taels! No more!"
Mo Dai looked at Mu Qianche and winked mischievously at him, meaning, tsk, your worth is 50,000 taels, which is not bad, should I consider it?
Mu Qianche squeezed her palm, and gave her an annoyed look, meaning, dare you agree to try?
"Hey, how much do you want?" Wan Ru thought that Mo Dai would not speak, and took a few steps forward, but there was some snow on the ground, she slipped accidentally, and fell to the ground, crying out in pain Acting like a baby, "It hurts so much, Brother Che..."
Mu Qianche couldn't bear to hear it any longer, so she directly grabbed Mo Dai's waist, tiptoed, jumped up the wall, and disappeared without a trace in a few vertical leaps.
When they got home, Mo Dai was still laughing, while Mu Qianche had a flat face, feeling that there was no point in laughing at all.
Shi Mo took Mo Wuqing to replace all the lanterns hanging in the corridor with red lanterns, and pasted red couplets on all the doors, and the word "Fu" on the windows and furniture, and put a firecracker on it to celebrate the New Year's Eve. The smell is strong.
After lunch, Mo Dai, Xiao Sheng and the others started to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner. The dishes were richer than ever, and the most important thing was to make dumplings.
Mo Dai prepared three kinds of stuffing, pork, cabbage and mushroom, and shredded radish. Everyone sat around the table in the dining room to make dumplings. Even Mo Xiaoyu and Mo Xiaoyi washed their hands to help . Graphite, Qiongqing, enamel and Guiyi are not very good at making dumplings, but after making a few, they can still look decent.
Mu Qianche was worthy of being a culinary idiot, she couldn't make dumplings, her face was flushed with embarrassment. When Shi Mo saw the dumplings made by Mu Qianche, he almost fell to the ground laughing, and finally he was able to laugh at him with peace of mind.
According to the past practice, Xu Shaolin took out ten copper coins, boiled them in boiling water, and then randomly wrapped them in dumplings. If anyone gets the copper coins, it means that they will have a lot of money in the coming year, and their wishes will come true. As a result, at the New Year's Eve dinner, Mo Dai alone got three copper coins, and the remaining seven were eaten by Xu Shaolin, Xiao Sheng, Mu Qianche, Mo Wufeng, Mo Xiaoyi, Qiongqing, and Ci Glaze. Those who got the copper coins were all beaming, while those who didn't get the copper coins, such as Mo Xiaoyu and Shi Shi, were a little unhappy.
This is the first new year that Mo Dai has passed since she came here. Mo Dai was so happy that she drank a few more glasses of wine. As a result, she fell asleep halfway through her New Year's Eve, not only her, but Xu Shaolin and the three younger ones Everyone is drunk. In the middle of the night, after Xu Shaolin watched the New Year's Eve, he helped them into the room one by one.
On the next day, Mo Dai woke up to the sound of crackling firecrackers, blinked her eyes, and then realized that it was not the sound of firecrackers, but knocking on the door.
