Chapter 42 Wang Hui's Dawn?
Chapter 42 Wang Hui's Dawn?
Wang Huishou waited in front of Mu Xiaolu's door for a long time, Xiaofei hadn't come out after the usual sleep time, the room seemed very quiet, and he couldn't see anything clearly through the crack of the door.Because they secretly observed the two of them getting along on weekdays, and there seemed to be no ambiguity.So even though I was a little anxious, I had no choice but to comfort myself and wait.
But I was very tired from work these days, and I slept very late every day. I went out for another day today, and I didn’t have a good rest. It was late at night, and I felt a little tired. He closed his eyes for a while to rest his mind, but unexpectedly fell asleep, so Xiaofei fell down when he opened the door.
Thanks to Wang Hui being a military commander with first-class reflexes, he woke up in an instant, twisted his waist and jumped up on the way down, and stopped abruptly.Even so, he pushed Xiaofei subconsciously, pushing Xiaofei to the ground and rolling twice.
Mu Xiaolu didn't care about putting on his shoes, so he jumped off the kang with bare feet and ran over.
The door was open, and the moonlight streamed through the door like water.
Wang Hui looked at Mu Xiaolu who was dressed in thin white clothes, he seemed to have a faint halo all over his body, and his whole body seemed to be elegant and otherworldly, but his slightly tanned face was telling the hard work of these days, and his heart ached. Terrible, I really want to rush over and hug him immediately.
Under the moonlight, Mu Xiaolu frowned, staring at him with bright eyes. If he really insisted, all his efforts and hard work would be in vain, and his hopes in this life would come to naught.
Well, bear with it.
Wang Hui suppressed the desire in his heart, forcibly fixed his feet, and said with a sneer, "Are you still asleep? Hehe, I'm going to sleep right now."
After speaking, he turned around and left, returning to his room.
Lying on the kang, I couldn't fall asleep.
Mu Xiaolu who doesn't eat the world, who flutters like a fairy, Mu Xiaolu who is stubborn and rolls in the mud, who is unwilling to be humiliated and flees alone, Mu Xiaolu who gets along with his relatives warmly, and Mu Xiaolu who smiles like a flower in the spring breeze , Mu Xiaolu, who was concentrating on writing and drawing under the lamp, had countless shadows swaying in front of his eyes, dazzled Wang Hui's eyes, this person, this life, he could never let go.
Wang Hui tossed and turned and continued to suffer from insomnia as usual.
Mu Xiaolu knew that Wang Hui would guard the door for a while every night, and he got used to it, so he ignored him.Seeing that Wang Hui was gone, he helped Xiaofei to let him go back, and closed the door to sleep by himself.But I don't know that someone next door is suffering a long night and has no desire to sleep.
Afterwards, Mu Xiaolu endured the pain in his feet and kept busy. Wang Hui came to help him apply the medicine again the next morning, fearing that the blister would turn into pus.Mu Xiaolu felt that he was making a fuss out of a molehill, but he couldn't avoid it, so he let him go.
Because the collected strains are to be used as mother fungus for propagation, one has to go to the village to buy rice bran as a carrier for fermentation, and go to the field on the mountain every morning to collect the stems of mugwort and celery with dew Tip, come back and add brown sugar to marinate and put it in the tank to make nutrient solution.
Seeing Mu Xiaolu busy, the three of them were amazed and asked a few questions from time to time.Mu Xiaolu didn't even bother to raise his head, just perfunctory.Sprinkle another layer of brown sugar on the mixed mugwort, press it with stones, seal the mouth with straw paper, and put several small earthen jars in your house.
After lunch, when everyone was not paying attention, I went back to my room and took the tank to the space to bask in the sun. The climate here is much warmer than outside, which can save time for making nutrient solution.
In the afternoon, Aunt Jing asked Su Lin to go home with Mu Xiaolu and have a good meal.Mu Xiaolu has been making do with his meals recently, and Aunt Jing felt distressed when she found out, so she specially bought meat and made a delicious meal for her nephew.
Mu Xiaolu was so busy that he didn't touch the ground, he didn't go home for several days, and he missed his son very much, so he brought Qi Cheng and Xiaofei back, leaving only Wang Hui behind, who was very resentful.Mu Xiaolu pretended not to notice, carrying a basket of wild vegetables on his back, and the three of them went back together.
When he came back in the evening of the next day, Wang Hui was very disappointed to see that they were empty-handed. Mu Xiaolu looked funny, so he took out a large bag of cooked meat and steamed buns from the basket. Wang Hui immediately snatched them and ran to Mu Xiaolu with a smile Eat on the small table in Lu's house.
While eating, he looked at Qi Cheng who was walking towards the pig house and said, "Why did he change another pair of shoes?"
Mu Xiaolu smiled and said: "Of course it was done by Sister Su, are you jealous? It's useless! I discussed it with Qi Cheng, and when the weather gets colder, I will help them organize their wedding when I have free time."
Wang Hui snorted: "I'm not jealous, it's too late for me to be happy!"
Mu Xiaolu was very surprised: "Why don't you go back to your own room to eat?"
Wang Hui said: "No reason, I just want to watch you eat. Have you brought the wine?"
Mu Xiaolu had no choice but to dig out another jug of wine from the basket.
Wang Hui wrinkled his nose and said, "I knew you wanted to embezzle the wine. Hmph!" After speaking, he opened the wine jar, poured a bowl, took a deep breath on the wine, and then picked up the bowl and took a big gulp , squinting his eyes and squinting his mouth to enjoy it, he picked up another piece of meat with chopsticks, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed slowly, as if he had never eaten meat and wanted to savor it carefully.Mu Xiaolu sneered secretly, wrinkled his nose, and went to the pigsty to look at the pigs.
Wang Hui suddenly remembered one thing, and secretly scolded himself for his bad memory, why didn't he do it while he was away?Seeing that Mu Xiaolu was gone, he quickly put down his wine and meat, got up and rummaged through Mu Xiaolu's suitcase, found a white undershirt, put it under his nose, sniffed it, put it in his arms, and went back to continue eating and drinking.
Five days later, Mu Xiaolu opened the sealing paper of the vat, and found brown liquid seeping out, slag floating on the surface with a sweet smell.How lucky, Mu Xiaolu was very happy. At night, he asked Xiaofei to help move the fungus and rice bran into the house, secretly put them into the space, mix the fungus and rice bran nutrient solution together, cover it with straw curtains, and wait. fermentation.
After practicing, they took a bath in the spring water, and the two of them came out to rest.Xiaofei asked: "By the way, I suddenly remembered something. What were you talking about with your aunt in the house after lunch that day? So mysterious?"
Mu Xiaolu yawned and said, "Oh, it's nothing more than my cousin's marriage."
Xiaofei asked: "Why, you don't want your cousin to marry Zhao Qing? He's pretty good."
"Good is good, but he can't find a daughter-in-law, so he insists on my cousin? Even if he takes my cousin as his wife now, if he becomes an official in the future and wants to take a concubine, isn't my cousin wronged? Don't let him take a concubine, Cousin will get a reputation of being jealous, let him take a concubine, cousin will be wronged, and our family background is low, and I was the male favorite of Brother Wang Hui, cousin will definitely be discriminated against, so, these few days After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Qing might not be a good match for my cousin, it's better to find an honest commoner, at worst, I will give my cousin some money as a dowry."
Xiaofei laughed and said, "Then let's try Zhao Qing and see how he is. If he doesn't take a concubine in the future, marry my cousin to him, okay? I don't think my cousin has any dislike for Zhao Qing."
"It's easy for you to say, but the most unpredictable thing is people's hearts. How many years later, can you be sure? Besides, if Zhao Qing is really an infatuated person who doesn't take concubines and guards his cousin alone, he will be said to be fearful , I am afraid it will also affect the future, Zhao Qing has the courage to fight against the officialdom and the world?" Mu Xiaolu is a little bit unsure that the Saint of Love can resist the pressure of the world.
"But you see Mr. Wang and Wang Hui's parents are good role models? It can't be said that there are no such people." Xiao Fei objected.
Mu Xiaolu held his chin and thought for a while, then said: "Well, yes, I didn't know that Wang Hui's parents died long ago, but this old man Wang is very strange, so he can live smoothly without taking concubines. Strange. Sigh, you have to take your time with this matter about my cousin. You have to be sure before you can decide. My cousin is no better than me. I am a man who can live in any way. A woman who is a widow and remarries must keep her eyes open. But Miss Su It’s just luck, Big Brother Qi is a good person. Ah~ go to sleep, we’ll talk about it another day.”
Xiaofei nodded and opened the door to go out. Seeing Wang Hui standing by the door, he smiled and left in a hurry. As long as this guy is not facing Mu Xiaolu, he has a kind of coercion, so it's better to avoid it.
Wang Hui saw that Mu Xiaolu had closed the door but slept without turning off the light. He peeked through the crack of the door and saw Mu Xiaolu writing carefully on the paper with charcoal sticks on the small wooden table. Pig's diary, sighed and went to sleep.
Mu Xiaolu opened the straw curtain every day to watch until the end of the month, which was also the night of the seventh day, when he suddenly found silky white mycelium growing from the rice bran, and shouted happily, Xiaofei was practicing under the peach tree , I heard that I hurried over to take a look, and sure enough, both of them are very excited, hope is ahead.
Mu Xiaolu slept soundly that night, and he didn't even hear Wang Hui's footsteps walking around outside.
The next day was the first day of May, Mu Xiaolu got up early and called Xiaofei over to help secretly put the fermented mycelium into a basket and carried it out to the room, leaving a little for preservation, next time for breeding For mother fungus.We also need to pick some mugwort stem tips to make nutrient solution, and some things are busy.
After breakfast, I took everyone to get busy.
Mu Xiaolu wrote a program table so that they could remember how to do it, which would save them a lot of trouble.It's just that the temperature and humidity have to be mastered by yourself.
After a whole day of work, I finished it at sunset.
A padding made of a layer of moist straw that is almost 20 cm thick is evenly sprinkled with fermented rice bran with mycelium, and a thin layer of straw is spread on top to complete the work.
Mu Xiaolu looked at the huge ceiling and said with a smile: "Okay, in a few days, if the hyphae grow too much, put Zhu Xiaoluo in!"
Qi Cheng and Xiaofei laughed with a "puchi".
Wang Hui was still bending over to clean the straw and rice bran scattered outside the shed, and laughed when he heard it.Seeing Mu Xiaolu so happy, Wang Hui was also very happy.
Recently, he always thinks that if he likes someone, he really needs him to be happy to be happy himself.I used to think that giving him gold and silver treasures and pampering him would give him sincerity, but I was really wrong.
My grandfather was right, you have to be sincere and sincere to be able to make gold and stone.
Although the golden stone is not yet opened, at least Mu Xiaolu can smile happily in front of him, and he is no longer afraid. This is progress.
So there is light in my long journey of love.
The next day, because Mu Xiaolu was very busy recently and rarely had time to spare, he took a late sleep and didn't get up until noon.
When the lunch was served, Mu Xiaolu saw it, why was it so rich?Just ask Xiaofei and Qicheng.
Qi Cheng smiled and said, "It was the old man who cared about us and sent it to us."
Mu Xiaolu thought to himself: Did he feel sorry for his grandson?
Naturally, the food was exquisite and hearty, and Mu Xiaolu's food was also delicious.There is no need to be hypocritical, just eat what you want.When I earn money, I can eat better.
Seeing that Mu Xiaolu had lost a lot of weight and darkened recently, Wang Hui felt distressed, so he pushed the meat and vegetables in front of Mu Xiaolu, and Mu Xiaolu shared them with Qi Cheng and Xiaofei. Talking and sleeping without saying a word, we talked and laughed and finished our meal.
After eating, the servant of the Wang family who brought the food said: "The old man is not in good health recently. He misses Mr. Mu and the young master. I wonder if we can go and see him."
Mu Xiaolu: "..." The old man is really cunning, there is no free lunch.Since he said he was sick, he couldn't still let his grandson work here, and he felt embarrassed not to visit.
Mu Xiaolu wanted to leave again the next morning, but the servant said that the old man was eager to see people and wanted them to leave immediately, so Mu Xiaolu had to leave Qi Cheng and Xiaofei to watch, and he and Wang Hui went to town in the Wang family's car.Now Mu Xiaolu walks very fast and his body is much stronger than before, but Wang Hui insists on letting him take the car.Mu Xiaolu shrugged and jumped into the car.
The weather at the beginning of May was already hot. Wang Hui dragged Mu Xiaolu to sit in the car. Mu Xiaolu was too hot and didn't want to be in the same car with him. He insisted on sitting on the outer shaft of the car, and Wang Hui also came out. They sat outside, but the space was only that big, and it was even more crowded. Mu Xiaolu had no choice but to get into the car again, and Wang Hui quickly moved into the car.On a hot day, the curtains were lowered.People outside can hear "chirping and cooing" inside, but they don't know what they are talking about.The servant followed the carriage, secretly winking with the coachman and laughing silently.
The two went to the town's house to change their clothes and bought some pastries before taking the car to Xiufeng City.
Wang Hui also changed into clean clothes.Because he never left Mu Xiaolu all day long, Aunt Jing also prepared a room for him in the front yard, and the laundry was done by the women at home.
Half an hour later, the carriage entered the city.
The weather in May is warm and comfortable, with fragrant flowers and green trees all the way, and the scenery is pleasant.
Mu Xiaolu hasn't come for many days.Seeing the traffic of cars, horses and people on the street, I felt very lively and friendly, so I opened the curtains to watch.
Wang Hui stuck to him and said with a smile: "I've been busy these days, I finally rested for a few days, let me go for a walk on the street with you, shall I do some shopping?"
Mu Xiaolu extended an index finger against Wang Hui's body and pushed back, Wang Hui had no choice but to move further away.
When we arrived at the entrance of the palace, there were servants who had been looking around at the door. Seeing the car coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and said with a smile, "The old man has been waiting for a long time."
Mu Xiaolu carried the pastry, followed Wang Hui into the house, and met Xiu Qing head-on.To say that the last time he almost fell into Xiu Qing's way, it was because the two brothers were so alike that Mu Xiaolu was unprepared.Now seeing Xiu Qing again, I really want to slap him twice, but forget it, I don't want to cause trouble.
However, Xiu Qing walked over as if he had greeted everyone without incident.
The servant smiled and said, "The old master is in the study."
Mu Xiaolu followed Wang Hui into the study room. There was no one outside. He thought he was inside. Just as he was about to ask Wang Hui, he suddenly saw a painting hanging on the wall. The painting was nothing unusual. An old man in ancient costume looked up at the sky. bright moon.It's just that there are two poems on the painting that shocked Mu Xiaolu all of a sudden: raise your head to look at the bright moon, lower your head to think of your hometown.
