"Little sister, speaking of yang-ge, I forgot to teach him how to read!" Mu Jinzhi felt that he needed to take some measures to protect his leech like uncle. He had to protect his sister, even if it made her unhappy in her heart.

"Bro ~ ~ ~" Mu Rousang's rosy face was filled with unhappiness. She was still angry at him for bringing up such a topic.

"Little sister, don't be angry, big brother naturally has his own ways of stopping Eldest Uncle and his family. Big brother knows what you're worried about!" Before his mother's body turned cold, Eldest Uncle and his family could not wait and took away all the valuable things from his house. He had bullied the brother and sister's ignorance at such a young age, he, Mu Jinzhi, had never forgotten.

After knowing the rumors spread by Mu Yun's family, with the principle of clearing one's mind, Mu Rousang did not stand out and criticize them. Instead, he continued to do what he had to do.

After that, Mu Rousang took out a dyed cloth from inside the cave and started to sew up a winter coat for Mu Jinzhi and herself. Her thoughts were simple, before the house could be covered up, she had to close her door and eat, sleep and live comfortably.

They made two sets of jackets for each of them, two sets of winter clothes and a cotton jacket. Only then did the bedclothes and two beds of mosquito netting get embroidered with flowers.

The wooden bed had also been brought in, and two quilts had been sewn with pale lake-colored cotton. She had sewn the modern one, but there was no zipper.

After finishing all of these things, Mu Rousang realised that it was already the end of November. She found a time to go to town and retrieve the rabbit skin boots she ordered.

"Little sister, this bed is really soft, and so is this pair of boots. Right now, the academy is very cold, and teacher doesn't allow us to order carbon basin. During class, we always feel like we're soaking in an icy cave."

Mu Jinzhi's face was brimming with the innocence and childishness that belonged to this age. He wore rabbit fur boots and stomped on the ground proudly, directly shouting how soft it was and how warm it was, and then touched the beautiful bed sheets and blankets.

"Little sister, do we really have a wooden bed to sleep on in the future?"

He still didn't dare to believe it. It was as if he was in a dream. Although he knew that his family had made good progress this year, when the silver turned into real life, the impact was even greater.

Mu Jinzhi stretched out his hand to touch the wooden bed once more. The wooden bed, on this warm night, emitted a faint wooden scent, and something broke out from Mu Jinzhi's heart.

"Yes, big brother, we don't need to sleep on the brick bed anymore." No wonder the brick bed was used at home. It turned out that it was because every single household in the village knew how to make it, and only Mu Rousang knew that this brick bed was even taken care of by her father when she was still alive.

"Brother, look. In the future, we can cover our beds by ourselves!" This bed was around 1.8 meters wide, it was enough for the two of them. Next year ? She thought that Mu Jinzhi's face would be even more interesting.

"Sister, really! That's great. We can all sleep comfortably at night. " He beamed with joy, and spent the whole night holding his books in his arms. It was so good, his family life was getting better and better, and his sister would never be hungry again.

That night, Mu Rousang did not sleep well. She spent the entire night on the new bed frying salted fish, tossing and turning it around. The next morning, she happily went to school with a panda eye.

As the days got colder, she, who had been busy with trivial matters, suddenly remembered that there were two rabbits kept in the space. When she entered the field, a white patch of land almost blinded her.

He counted and counted. Aiyo, mother, there were at least a hundred of them, but fortunately, the meadow was just grass, and there were no fodder to eat or skin to gnaw on. Otherwise, he would have to starve to death.

Hence, there were a few additional rabbit skin coats, rabbit skin cloaks and the like in her wardrobe. Along the way, there were also two more bunny sheets, Mu Rousang, how luxurious was this! Her heart was in ecstasy. Looking at the crumbling mud house outside, she did not expect it to be so real.

Seeing that she had finished her work in the fields, she took her needle basket and went out to find Qin Er after sending Mu Jinzhi out. Although the two of them had two pairs of rabbit fur boots, they couldn't be lacking in cotton shoes.

When he entered the village and saw the Mulberry sitting in the courtyard far away from him, eating melon seeds, Mu Rousang really wanted to ignore her, "Eldest Aunt!" Helpless, the eyes of the villagers were bright. Regarding the matter of the elders' courtesy, how many times had Mu Jinzhi called for their lives?

Mulberry heard that Mu Rousang's family had opened a well and spent around 4 to 2 taels of silver. Her heart was bleeding, a few of them were enough for her to put on a set of gloves, this wasteful person, "Oh, my family does not have such noble relatives. "My family is just a small family, how would they dare to climb over your family, my poor parents left early ?"

Mu Rousang frowned, she was annoyed by Mulberry for suppressing the anger in her heart, and her tone became unyielding, "Eldest Aunt, what are you trying to say!?"

"Humph, what a shameless thing!" Mulberry reached out his hand to rub his mouth that had just eaten a melon seed, his venomous eyes itching to bore a few holes on Mu Rousang's body.

"Oh, I am a thing, could it be that the Eldest Aunt is not a thing?" Mu Rousang was so angry that he actually started laughing, and the gentleness in his tone was also gone.

Mulberry's mind was filled with the crisp voice of a copper coin. Mu Rousang's retort made her very angry, and she replied casually, "Of course I'm not a thing!" Seeing that Mu Rousang was smiling but not smiling, she finally regained her senses and fiercely spat at the ground, "Pui!"

Mu Rousang did not want to talk to her anymore, so she lifted her leg and walked towards Qin Er's house.

Mulberry's heart was even more unbalanced. Who exactly was her family members, for whom did she not hold back to stand at the door and shout loudly? "Stop right there, who told you to leave?"

Mu Rousang wanted to tear her rotten mouth apart, "Eldest Aunt, where do I have to go?

Mulberry understood that he had gone overboard, "Hmph, do you have Eldest Aunt in your eyes? When did you think you had an uncle, Eldest Aunt, who looked at how thin and tender your skin was? I think your family must be living a good life, it's all thanks to your aunt that you keep your Feng'e Sis by your side! "

"Look at your clothes, these clothes you're wearing, then look at your big sister Feng Jian's clothes, I pity my daughter, your lost sister can wear them better than yours, your life can't compare to yours, but your sister won't pity you, a pair of arms that are not bent outwards, if you give it to those who eat wild food, you won't have to fear losing your life!"

Mulberry calculated that everyone was at home? Mu Rousang squinted her eyes and looked at the corner of the courtyard. Behind the grass mound, there was someone else who was watching the show with glee.

"Eldest Aunt, I was just passing by. If you don't let me go, how can I dress properly? I earned this from my brother. "

She then glanced at the wooden hairpin with two green snot and felt disgusted for no reason. "As for Big Sister Feng Chai, didn't Eldest Aunt say earlier that she was raised in front of my aunt? Eldest Aunt is not a person that my niece likes to talk about. Look, look, how long has Feng'e Sis been gone for, I heard that the young mistresses in the big house not only have maids as their servants, but also monthly silver s, four seasons! "

"Yo, you're right, I heard that her daughter went to County to be a young miss!"

"That's right, just a tiny bit of it leaking out from the gaps between her daughter's fingers. It's enough for her family to live for a year, and there's no need to cry about being poor at all."

"Ai, have you forgotten? That married sister-in-law of yours comes to her house every year. No matter how you look at it, she's always a generous lord!"

"Regardless of whether she's generous or not, at least give her a red packet, a present or something like that. There's still quite a lot of silver, right?"

Mulberry was so angry that her face turned white and green. She wanted to calculate Mu Rousang's money, not ask her neighbors to calculate how much money her family had, so she angrily pulled back the wooden phoenix hairpin and flung the door open.

"Who is this guy trying to show off to!"

"Exactly ?"

"Do you really think your family is rich? If you want me to look, the path for your daughter in the future ?" "Hehe!"

Long before everyone started gossiping, Mu Rousang came out of the crowd and took a deep breath. Luckily she had the advantage of being young, and gave Mu Yangzi a slap on the face. She estimated that she would be able to take it easy for a while, but ? Her annual festival gift is not that easy to obtain, hmph!

Mu Rousang brought her needle basket over to Qin Er's house, "Is Second Aunt at home?"

Just as she entered the door, she saw Qin Er from afar sitting on the stairs as she mended her clothes.

Mu Rousang's eyes wandered around, the Qin Er's house was not far from her uncle's house, she immediately understood what was going on, and that was why she was at the entrance of the courtyard, where her sweet voice resounded in the empty courtyard, "Second Aunt, Rou Sang misses you!"

With his short legs, he sprinted towards the Qin Er with the little bamboo basket hanging on his arm. No matter how one looked at it, it was extremely joyous!

Qin Er laughed and said, "Pfft, you little scoundrel, it's already cold outside, why aren't you wrapping anything up? Your little face is so cold!" He took her in his arms and touched her.

Qin Taohua came out of nowhere, threw Mu Rousang a glance, and asked: "Brother Jin, you didn't come?" Without waiting for an answer, he went back into the kitchen.

"Ignore your elder sister Peach Blossom. She's going to get you some jute fruits." His family's smallest Peach Blossom earned as much as Chun Mu in a year. In addition to the smooth weather this year, Mu Rousang would often bring some good food over, making his days more and more comfortable.

"Second Aunt, don't take what happened just now to heart. My Eldest Aunt's mouth didn't have a plug!" Mu Rousang thought about it and still apologized.

"Child, how could I not know what you are thinking today? Second Aunt was just a little left-thinking for a moment, in fact, no matter how angry she is, we can just lock ourselves up and live our lives!" Qin Er did not say it clearly, and could only gently advise Mu Rousang.

The early winter sky was always gloomy, it was so heavy that it made it hard for people to breathe. Mu Rousang was in a daze as she laid in Qin Er's embrace, maybe Second Aunt's words were right. She did not open her golden fingers to let things go smoothly, but rather, it improved her life.

"Second Aunt, I want to ask you to make a few pairs of cotton shoes. The weather is getting colder and colder, and I'm worried that my brother will freeze in the academy." Mu Rousang took out an indigo cotton cloth and some cotton.

Qin Er took his hand and caressed it, "Rou Sang, I can see that the fine noodle in your basket can be lined, but look at the upper of these shoes, this muslin cloth is too thin and isn't durable."

Mu Rousang was stunned, she only wanted to save money and dressed comfortably, to the point that she forgot to leave. Her little hands patted her forehead, "Second Aunt, I don't know how to use coarse cloth."

"The coarse cotton cloth is not as durable or sturdy as the coarse linen cloth. You have to put a lot of force into wearing it." Second Aunt brought the cotton wool and white muslin s, which were used to make cotton shoes, into his basket.

"Rou Sang, don't worry, Second Aunt is preparing to sew two pairs of shoes for your two siblings. You are very quick, leave behind these cotton and white muslin. Qin Er took out a few pieces of hard cloth from the basket, they had already been done with the glutinous rice porridge.

"Second Aunt, then thank you. The cotton and thin cloth here can be used to make a pair for each of us. As for the rest, give them to Chinese toon, siderocarpus, and Peach Blossom. Second Uncle, Second Aunt, you can make a pair for yourself!" This was how the people of the village behaved. They lived in harmony with each other.
