The pitiful Mu Yiyang was tricked by her just like that, he never thought that she would be able to teach him for long.

At this moment, he felt grat.i.tude from the bottom of his heart towards the two siblings. His eyes were shining brightly, Mu Rousang felt that he had changed.

"Sister Rou Sang, I know that there were many things that were wrong with my parents in the past. I"ve heard people from the village say this before. Don"t worry, I will definitely treat you and Jin Jin very well." Mu Yiyang didn"t know how to express himself, he only knew that it was very, very good.

Mu Rousang"s eyes flashed with a trace of laughter: "Alright, yang-ge, hurry up and burn the brick bed, we will be able to read while eating."

Mu Rousang once again sighed at the fact that her own brother was being mischievous. She was usually extremely gentle to Mu Yiyang and would not remember the things he had been taught, instead patiently teaching him over and over again.

She once asked curiously, "Bro, yang-ge didn"t even mention that he wanted to take the exam, why do you have to teach him so many times?" Mu Rousang was afraid that he would be tired from reading, it was already hard enough for him.

But who would have thought that Mu Jinzhi would tell her, "Wise but new. Big brother doesn"t have a lot of things to learn, he needs to study at all times, and it"s also the right time to teach yang-ge. Sometimes big brother also needs to think about his questions."

Mu Rousang sighed a lot recently. Her brother really grew up!

In the blink of an eye, it was the middle of the month. Everyone was busy preparing for the New Year"s holiday. In a few days, the town"s boss would have to close the door and go back home to celebrate the new year.

The three Sage Herb seeds had grown up quite a bit in this s.p.a.ce, and after absorbing the spiritual energy, the s.p.a.ce became even more smug, causing the apple trees to be hung with fruits in a single breath.

That day, Mu Rousang looked at the red apples and was worried. It had been so long since she had to eat them, she decided to wait until next year"s spring to quickly move them outside!

Mu Rousang sat at the entrance of the small hut and stared dumbly at the trees full of apples, then looked at the chilies in the fields, she thought for a long time and patted her forehead. She had that intention not long ago, why did she forget about it?

Then she saw a little girl in a white coat with purple hibiscus flowers, scurrying about the woods with a small bundle of heads, and all the apples looking ripe, and her face showing the joy of a harvest.

She ran to the warehouse and took the apples to the display. Looking at the string of zeros behind the numbers, she smiled until her eyes were curved. Then she processed some glutinous rice flour in the processing plant, washed the zippers, ginger garlic, and apples, peeled them, and then made the apples into foam along with the chili and ginger garlic.

After filling the pot, he carried out the s.p.a.ce along with the glutinous rice powder. He went to the kitchen and poured the liquid from the torch into the pot. He left a small fire in the pot and slowly stirred it with the spatula, turning it into sticky glutinous rice paste.

Then, she went to vegetable garden and pulled a few pieces of rare cabbages. If she could, she really didn"t want to waste time like this, she could only earn this much money to move her. But if her family wanted to build a house, she had no choice but to make some preparations.

After washing the cabbages, she planned to make some Korean pickles. When she thought about the spicy and fruity flavor, her drool almost flowed all over the floor.

First, she cut the cabbage into a small piece with a knife, rubbed the rake with salt, looked at the dry water after it had dried, then filled it with Shau Keji and spread it out before draining the water. She touched the glutinous rice paste in the pot with her small hands, still warm, and spread the paste out faster with a spatula.

She moved to a small stool and sat down in the kitchen. There was a sapphire blue pouch embroidered on the edge of the stove. Looking at the contours of the silk thread, it was a few green bamboos, and in the quiet room, only her deep and shallow breathing could be heard.

Mu Rousang really liked these leisurely days. After doing some embroidery and rubbing her sore neck, she put the unfinished embroidery back into the basket. Only then did she stand up to see that the glutinous rice paste had become more or less cold.

Mix the prepared cabbage in a pot, take out a clean jar and seal it with dried lotus leaves. Then, fill the sides with water. This way, the sealed jar will not only have a better taste, but will also not spoil the food.

After placing all these jars in his s.p.a.ce and cleaning all the traces, he calculated that it was about time to order New Year"s gifts. When Mu Jinzhi came back and asked about it at night, he realized that he had already applied for leave.

"Little sister, in five days it will be the Winter Solstice. The two of us can"t go to the county town that day, so we can have a look around for something new." Mu Jinzhi regretted that his sister had not gone far away from home. It would be inconvenient for her to go out in a few years, so she would have to wait for her daughter"s marriage.

Mu Rousang was completely unaware of Mu Jinzhi"s intentions, she nodded her head and agreed, as long as she did not delay the ceremony.

He thought about the question he asked Qin Er a while ago about whether he wanted to go to the County City. It was not safe for the two children to drive a donkey.

"Big brother, I heard from Peach Blossom that Second Aunt also wants to go to the county city. If not, why don"t we invite them together? We can stay together and take care of them."

Under the oil lamp, Mu Jinzhi was dressed in a light green cotton robe, with the same color as the soft handkerchief in his hair. The remaining half of his shining black hair was casually scattered behind his head, as he lowered his head to write a line of red.

"Sister is right. Logically speaking, it would be best for us to follow Eldest Uncle and his family to the County City. Oh right, we should go to the County City this time and also send the annual festival gift from Aunt"s house."

"What?" Mu Rousang"s clear, young, and tender voice pierced through the straw roof, drifting with the cold wind.

She got up and bent to fill the kang with firewood, the light flickering on and off on the side of her face.

Mu Jinzhi sighed, "Little sister, just based on what big aunt did that day, she must have had a motive. Even if big brother doesn"t want little sister to be wronged, what can we do to her? You can only … "Move it slowly!"

In the past few days, Mu Jinzhi had been cultivating early because he felt that he was too weak. His family would not be able to keep him safe with all the money he had, and it was not easy for his sister to be able to eat until she was full. Unexpectedly, her aunt"s hand wanted to reach over, but she hated herself for being too young.

Perhaps, even Mu Rousang did not realize this, as she had only thought of her hard work in becoming stronger, to be able to take good care of her little sister.

Ever since his sister had been resurrected from the dead, he had changed. On the surface, he was still a gentle, jade-like little gentleman. However, a glint of cold light flashed in his eyes. He had learnt to scheme against others.

In the end, when his aunt wanted to take the Brother and sister people away, he discovered that he had become stronger and that it was not enough to scheme against others. He still needed some help, and the village chief"s rescue opened a new door for him.

"Brother, do you have a plan?" Mu Rousang gradually no longer treated him as a child, and placed him in an equal position to face up to every word that he said.

"Don"t worry little sister. Big brother will definitely protect you well. That kind of thing will never happen again." Under the flickering oil lamp, Mu Jinzhi was still methodically drawing a red line, slowly drawing one line at a time.

"Alright, since brother has made up his mind, sister will do as you say!" He was feeling gratified that his brother had become more and more a.s.sertive.

"Mn, tomorrow you will find some time to secretly ask Second Aunt." He paused for a moment before opening his mouth with some difficulty, "Sister, be careful when you go, don"t let Eldest Aunt listen in." As for finding out when he returned, there was nothing he could do to the brother and sister at that time.

The next day was overcast, as if a piece of pig iron was about to crush a hole in the sky.

Mu Rousang took out a light blue scarf that was made from muslin s and wrapped it around her. She also took out a small basket to pack some s.p.a.ce for green beans and red peppers.

It was cold and windy, and the village was empty. All the women who used to love making a fuss were hiding in their houses, circling the hot brick bed.

Mu Rousang pa.s.sed by the house of the Eldest Aunt, she saw that the courtyard doors were closed, the corners of his mouth were raised, and a mocking smile floated up to the corners of his mouth, annual festival gift?!

Mulberry made a good idea. Her things were not so easy to take, they were unable to resist this kind of etiquette from the ancient times. However, if she was allowed to eat them, she would also feel uncomfortable.

She confidently pa.s.sed through the door of her uncle"s house and came to Qin Er"s house. In her heart, this woman with a loud voice was more like her relative, her aunt.

He lightly knocked on the door. It was probably because it was too cold, but after knocking for a while, he heard Qin Er"s loud voice, "Who is it, come over immediately!" She tightly wore her half-worn cotton robe. This year, she had saved up enough money for Mu Rousang"s Peach Blossom to drag a new cotton-padded jacket on the two small ones.

When Qin Er opened the door, a little girl who was wrapped in light blue cotton cloth with a pair of shiny black eyes was standing at the door. She smiled sweetly and called out, "Second Aunt, I"m coming to open the door."

The Qin Er stretched out her warm hands, "It"s so cold today, why did you come out here? If you have anything to say, just ask the siderocarpus to come over.

Listening to Qin Er"s complaints, Mu Rousang"s heart felt warm, "Second Aunt, a friend sent someone over to deliver some new dishes two days ago. I"ll bring some for Second Aunt."

Qin Er quickly pulled her in and closed the door. Mu Rousang looked at her unknowingly.

"Come, Rou Sang, go inside the house and roast the fire. Look at this little face; it will have to be thicker. The winter wind is like a sword, and the knife cuts the face without pain. Only at night do you understand the pain."

The Qin Er didn"t want to explain why he reacted like that. She picked up Mu Rousang and quickly went into the house.

When Mu Rousang came back to her senses, the Peach Blossom Girl jumped down from the brick bed in the room. "Rou Sang, you"re here!"

Mu Rousang raised her head and looked at the sky. Could Qin Taohua see her for the first time?

Qin Taohua stepped on her shoes and ran in front of her, "Rou Sang, my mother is sewing a new cotton-padded jacket for me!"

Oh, no wonder! But she still didn"t understand why the peach blossoms became so pa.s.sionate.

Seeing that there was no need for Qin Er"s greeting, he quickly pulled her into the inner room and carried her onto the brick bed. After hugging her for so long, the two of them were still struggling on the brick bed.

"Peach Blossom, you"ll be seven years old in the new year, why aren"t you acting proper? Quickly put on your clothes, what do we do when it gets cold?"

Qin Er followed her in and patted her head.

"Mom, I"m trying to get on the brick bed with Ruo Sang in my arms. Ruo Sang, have you gotten fat recently? Why can"t I hold you?"

Mu Rousang rolled her eyes when she heard her. This person just realised, this was the first time he was hugging her, okay!

"Peach Blossom, put me down. I just need to ask something from your mother. I"ll be going back later." She really intended to sell a few more pieces of embroidery when she went to the county, so that she could buy more New Year"s gifts.

Qin Er placed her on the brick bed and said, "Foolish child, hurry up and sit down and warm your body.

"That"s right, Rou Sang, look, my mother is sewing a new cotton-padded jacket for me. This was bought by the copper coins I saved from embroidering my purse, am I right, mother?" She looked very capable, like she was asking for praise.

"Alright, hurry up and thank Rou Sang. It"s all thanks to her that you were taught to embroider flowers!" Those thread feet, horizontal needling technique, and complex needling technique made even Qin Er feel dizzy. The job of embroidering these peach blossoms according to what she had taught him was much more nimble.

Mu Rousang was right. In the eyes of the Peach Blossom Girl, the copper coin they earned from embroidery had levelled up. Not only could they buy sesame sugar, they could also buy a few sets of clothes.

Seeing how hardworking the Little Peach Blossom was, for a moment, her heart was burning. She wanted to hurry back home and embroider a few more needles, so she didn"t beat around the bush and directly explained her intention of coming to Qin Er.
