Soul Travel: I was bought by the fierce man in the village to farm

Chapter 356: A beggar comes to ask for a living, the grumpy Heizi

It was time to work after the weather cleared. After the sun came out in the morning, Mao Xiaosui went to find Qinxiang and asked her to inform her to work in the afternoon.

After being idle for a while, Tian Qinxiang was afraid that she would not look for them anymore, so she agreed repeatedly after hearing this.

After finishing speaking, Mao Xiaosui planned to go back. When he came out of Qinxiang's house, he saw Fang Yu fetching water. When he heard the noise, he turned around and just smiled.

Mao Xiaosui had no friendship with her, so he nodded and left.

Li Yunshan had already gone to the breeding farm. Mao Xiaosui washed and dried the unwashed and smelly clothes before. He also took out the mattress from Li Ankang's room and dried it in the same way.

Li Ruyi was writing in the room, and Mao Xiaosui also went to read some books after finishing his work.

Around noon, I washed some dried rabbits and brined them, and when picking vegetables, I pulled the grass in the vegetable patch.

Li Ruyi came out of the hut and asked her, "Do you want to eat white rice for lunch?"

There were still a lot of dried beans that Li Tian and others sent last year. Mao Xiaosui thought about the white rice he had been eating these past few days, so he said, "Let's eat beans and braised millet rice."

Li Ruyi didn't make any fuss, she just said, "Then I want to eat steamed eggs."

"There are no eggs at home. I'll bring them back to cook for you tonight."

Li Ruyi agreed and asked Mao Xiaosui, "Can I go play with Xiaohong and the others?"

Mao Xiaosui asked, "Xu Xiaohong?"

Li Ruyi nodded.

Mao Xiaosui said, "No, let's go to grandma's house to play."

Although Li Ruyi was a little unhappy, she still agreed.

After leaving the door, she quickly ran back. Just as Mao Xiaosui was about to ask her what was wrong, he saw a familiar person following her.

Mao Xiaosui just stared at him.

"Hello, Auntie." The child said hello proactively.

Mao Xiaosui asked him, "Are you looking for Ruyi?"

The child shook his head and said proactively, "My name is Su Yong. I am six years old this year. I have a younger brother and younger sister at home who are four years old this year."

Mao Xiaosui didn't know what he was going to do, but he looked more well-behaved than when he first came to ask for buns.

Probably because of his anxiety, Su Yong always pulled at his trousers and clothes uneasily.

Mao Xiaosui waited patiently, but Li Ruyi, probably impatient, approached him and asked, "What are you going to say?"

Su Yong glanced at Li Ruyi and then plucked up the courage to ask, "I heard that your family needs helpers. I can also work and the wages can be less."

Mao Xiaosui shook his head, "You can't do it."

"I can do anything, I have the strength." Su Yong immediately patted his arm hard as if he was afraid that she wouldn't believe her.

Seeing that she didn't speak, he thought she disliked his status, so she mumbled, "I'm not a beggar, I have a family, I just don't have parents."

Seeing his pitiful appearance, Mao Xiaosui also felt pitiful, but Tupi's work indeed no longer needed people, so he shook his head, "There is really no life left."

Su Yong pursed his lips and looked a little disappointed. He said, "Sorry to bother Auntie." and then left.

Mao Xiaosui asked him, "Who told you that I could survive?"

Su Yong hesitated a little, then shook his head and ran away.

Mao Xiaosui didn't care and went to the kitchen to cook.

First simmer the beans and rice, then wash the vegetables and mushrooms, and take out the braised rabbit meat.

It was a pity to pour out the stewed soup once, so Mao Xiaosui poured it into a basin and kept it. He washed a few more dried rabbits and put them in to soak. He planned to stew them and eat them with porridge at night.

The old lady was also cooking at the moment, and Mao Xiaosui heard her laughing and saying something like, "Then you'll eat here later...".

Soon Li Ruyi ran over and told her, "Grandma wants me to have dinner at her house."

"I've already done it." Mao Xiaosui asked her again, "What does grandma cook?"

"White rice."

Mao Xiaosui sighed, this girl didn't eat less good food, why was she so greedy?

Still he said without hesitation, "Tell grandma not to do it for you."

Li Ruyi said, "Grandma is almost done cooking."

Mao Xiaosui asked her, "Then what did you eat grandma?"

Li Ruyi ran away, and soon she heard her shouting, "Grandma, my mother cooked for me, and I didn't eat at your house."

The old lady said dotingly, "Let's switch. You eat the white rice, and I eat yours."

Mao Xiaosui shouted, "Grandma, please leave her alone. She is greedy for all the white rice made at home these days."

"Let her eat if it's okay." The old lady smiled, "I love watching her eat."

Mao Xiaosui just asked Li Ruyi to come back to eat and left it alone.

Heizi was lying at her feet, his tail wagging from time to time, looking very comfortable.

She reached out and rubbed its head and asked, "Will you go to the breeding farm this afternoon?"

Heizi immediately barked and his tail wagged even more vigorously.

Mao Xiaosui was very happy and patted its head and said, "We will go after dinner. Remember to catch fish."

Heizi barked again, and Mao Xiaosui just thought it agreed.

After Li Ankang came back, Mao Xiaosui fried the vegetables. After dinner, she was about to wash the pot when Qinxiang came and stood at the door of the courtyard and asked, "Have you packed it up?"

Mao Xiaosui also guessed that they would definitely not take a nap, so he told Li Ankang, "Go to the shop to find Qin An, squint for a while and then go to the school. Don't be lazy."

Li Ankang asked Li Ruyi, "Are you going?"

Li Ruyi shook his head, "I'm going to find Pingshun."

Li Ankang left on his own, with Heizi wagging his tail vigorously and barking.

Qinxiang saw it and said, "Your dog doesn't recognize me anymore?"

"It's urging me." Mao Xiaosui glanced at it and said, "I'll be fine soon, don't rush me."

Heizi lay down again, but his tail was wagging very violently.

Seeing that she would be busy for a while, Qinxiang went to talk to her mother-in-law.

After the swill was poured out, the basin was wiped, and when he walked out with the bucket, he saw that Heizi was already holding the bucket in his mouth.

Li Ruyi sat on Heizi, facing the door.

Mao Xiaosui stretched out his hand to flick her and scolded her, "Why do you keep sitting on it?"

Li Ruyi covered her painful head and said, "I didn't sit down, I squatted."

Mao Xiaosui bounced her again, "What if you don't squat down? Its small body can withstand you."

Heizi rubbed against her leg, as if to say: Well done.

Li Ruyi immediately grabbed its ears and shouted, "I didn't crush you."

Heizi shook his head and walked out with the taller bucket in his mouth.

Mao Xiaosui picked it up to avoid stubbing its teeth, locked the door, told the old lady, and left the alley. Several women were waiting on the street. When they saw them coming, they hurriedly greeted them and walked out.

It's been a long time since I saw everyone asking about their whereabouts in those days.

Mao Xiaosui went back to Su County.

"Su County?" Chen Yue asked curiously, "I heard that Su County is more prosperous than our county. Is this true?"

Mao Xiaosui nodded and told what he saw and heard in Su County.

Widow Qian asked inexplicably, "Are you staying in an inn?"

She nodded.

"Are you comfortable?" someone asked again.

Mao Xiaosui replied, "I feel uncomfortable, it's too noisy."

"Is it expensive?"

Mao Xiaosui: "We live here for three cents, and there are more expensive ones."

"It's so expensive..." Others sighed.

While chatting, they arrived at the place unknowingly. Heizi and Li Ruyi had already gone up the slope. After a while, Zhao Hui and others came down with rabbit skins on their backs. When they saw her, they smiled and called "cousin sister-in-law."

Mao Xiaosui looked at his new clothes and asked with a smile, "Did Qingqing make them for you?"

Zhao Hui suddenly felt embarrassed, but nodded, "I went to Liu's house yesterday."

Mao Xiaosui nodded, "Not bad, I'm more energetic."

Niu Si asked curiously, "Are you related?"

Mao Xiaosui was a little surprised, "You don't know?"

Niu Si smiled honestly, "I thought he was just like us. He only called me boss brother out of respect."

"It's still different." Mao Xiaosui said, "He and your boss are cousins. He worked with us for several years when we were still raising him in the village and suffered a lot."

"So that's it." Niu Si laughed. He was just curious and had no other intentions.

After laying out the rabbit skins for a few days, they had to go back to kill the rabbits, so a few people left first.

Mao Xiaosui finished dividing the rabbit skins, stuck the baskets with stones into the river to stop the fish, and said to a few people who had not gone far, "Call Heizi down to catch the fish."

Zhao Hui responded from afar.
