Chapter 70: The Three Floors (2)

didn't wait for Mu Yan to say anything, the rest time was over, everyone went back, Mu Yan carried a sack of goods and moved to the cargo ship, thinking to himself, why is she such a big girl, everyone thinks she is a man.

On the shore of the carrying, Mu Yan looked down at the lake, and when her appearance was reflected on the lake, she knew the reason, she was unkempt, she couldn't see her face clearly, she was dressed in men's clothes, and she looked like a thin teenager who was not well fed, and she didn't have the appearance of a girl's family.

Mu Yan also learned in her memory that because the lord of the family, that is, her father, died early, and her younger brother was just born, there was no man in charge of the family, and this era was not good, she could only be dressed as a man to go out and walk to support the family, but the actual housekeeper of this family was still her mother.

He worked at sunrise and received his wages after getting off work, and returned home before dark.

"Do you know you're back, why don't you hurry up and cook, I want to starve your mother and me!" When she pushed open the courtyard door, no one saw it, but her mother's voice came, and the sound made her brain hurt.

Mu Yan was in a dilemma, suddenly rushed out of a little boy pulled the corner of Mu Yan's clothes, according to Mu Yan's usual vigilance, it was strange that he didn't fight back, only to hear the boy say to Mu Yan: "Sister, I'll help you cook together, you give me some money." ”

It turned out to be his own brother, no wonder there was no vigilance at all, Mu Yan recalled that in his memory, this kind of thing had also happened, when his own brother did not have silver taels, he would come to the door to help him do some small things and earn silver taels, Mu Yan took out his belt and gave the same silver taels as before: "Here you go." ”

"Sister, go away and don't be discovered by your mother." The boy picked up Mu Yan and walked to the kitchen, and under the leadership of his brother, he bypassed the main house, but was not noticed by the woman.

Mu Yan helped chop firewood, watching the boy skillfully raise the stove and boil the underwater rice, Mu Yan secretly studied, planning to try it early tomorrow morning.

The three of them ate dinner, saying that it was rice, but it was actually a rice soup of sticky unknown grains, and when they drank it, they knew that it was unpalatable, so thick that they cut their throats.

"Ah Yan, give me the salary." When he finished eating, Mu Yan was about to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and the woman stretched out her hand like Mu Yan to ask for silver taels.

Mu Yan hesitated again and again, took out the silver and handed it to the woman, seeing that the woman's expression was not satisfied, the woman said: "Why is it like this, did you spend it indiscriminately, and told you that you wanted to save money for your brother to marry a daughter-in-law, why didn't you listen......

The woman's mouth was foaming, Mu Yan was a little overwhelmed, and it was endless abuse, if it weren't for the existence of memory, Mu Yan would have wondered if this person was his own mother.

"Mother, I still have to read, don't make any noise." Mu Yan's own brother opened his mouth to relieve Mu Yan, and the woman looked at her son, who was about to read at night, and slowly stopped talking. She can't delay her son's study, what can she do if she can't get into the exam in the future.

"Mother, I'll go back to the house first." Mu Yan took this opportunity to say hello and retire.

"Yo, the old lady thought you were dumb, and I didn't see you say a word today, I pulled you so big by myself, I ......" is an endless fragmented thought.

"Mother! Let the eldest sister go back and rest, the eldest sister is tired for a day. The brother stopped the woman with a drink.

Mu Yan hurriedly fled from the main house, he really couldn't stay any longer.

Early the next morning, Mu Yan chopped wood and made a fire, planning to prepare food with the same steps as her own brother yesterday, yesterday she handed over the silver taels to the women, and today there is no silver taels to buy morning food, so she can only rely on herself.

"Bang." A huge voice sounded, and Mu Yan was a little speechless when he looked at the scene in front of him.

"It's a long life, Ah Yan, what are you doing in the back kitchen!" The women in the main room were awakened.

Mu Yan quickly thought about what to do, or not? Running first? Mu Yan quickly extinguished the fire, approached the courtyard wall, supported his hands, and fled over the wall.

"Mu Yan! You give me back! The woman who got up and came to the back kitchen immediately roared when she looked at the pot in front of her with a big hole.

Mu Yan, who escaped over the wall, listened to this roar, stumbled under his feet, stood firm and ran faster, and when he arrived at the dock, he was suddenly afraid, patted his chest, and sighed that he was lucky to run fast.

It should be fine if she gets off work today to buy a pot and bring it back, Mu Yan thought so in her heart, she was not worried that her mother and brother would starve to death at home, the salary she handed in yesterday was enough for the two of them to go out for a meal.

What can I do in the future, I really can't cook, Mu Yan sighed secretly in his heart, it seems that he still needs to make more money, please be a cook.

My mother always feels that she is spending money indiscriminately, which is good, and I don't know if I can save more money, and it is not a way to be penniless every day.

"Mu Yan, why did you come so early today?" As soon as the workers arrived at the dock, they found Mu Yan sitting on the steps, and it was just dawn at this time. The worker took out a steamed bun and handed it to Mu Yan: "Eat something, I just bought it, I see that you haven't eaten so early." ”

"Thank you." Mu Yan took the steamed bun, she was in a hurry earlier, and she didn't eat anything, not to mention that she didn't have money to buy something to eat, and she was already hungry at this time.

"Your mother drove you out early this morning?" The worker sat down side by side with Mu Yan on the steps and chatted.

"No, I got up early today." Mu Yan denied.

"Ouch, what can't we two say, your mother's loud voice has been heard for a long time." The worker patted Mu Yan on the shoulder and comforted. "You can tell my brother if you have any difficult things on weekdays."

"There just happened to be one thing, I want to earn more money on weekdays, do you have any other odd jobs to recommend?" Mu Yan plans to earn some extra money and leave some money for himself, this salary has been known to his mother in the past, and there are many numbers that should be handed in every day, and it is difficult to deduct it.

"You're asking the right person, let me tell you, you go back early every day on weekdays, it's better to follow my brother to the city to make some small business." The co-workers began to brag about how good their small business was.

"Mu Yan, what are you two still doing there? It's all started. At this time, the foreman came to urge the two of them.

Mu Yan secretly memorized the names of his co-workers, so as not to be embarrassed when he encountered him on the road next time.

"Just come." The two patted their shirts and pants and got up.

Mu Yan and her co-worker Guan Yun made an appointment to go to the city together when they got off work, Mu Yan thought that it would be good to go home later, she didn't know how to face her mother.

She doesn't know how that pot exploded suddenly!
