Chapter 44: Together again (1)

Congratulations on getting a monthly pass

The new house of Mo Daxi's family has been completed. There is a high-walled compound, the main house, the east house, the west house and the front house. There are a total of seventeen rooms. decent.

After breakfast, there was an endless stream of people who came to Mo Daxi's house to inspect the new house. Every time someone came, Xu Shaolin had to accompany them from the front room to the main room, and then from the front yard to the back yard. Visitors will look at, touch and click their tongues in admiration. Such a good gate, such a high courtyard wall, such a spacious room, and such a flat ground are truly enviable.

Then someone suddenly suggested: "Ah, Brother Xu, the ground of your house is paved with polished stones, which is many times better than the grain drying ground. The grain drying ground is made of mud. Every time you dry the grain, it will sink into the mud. A lot of food is wasted, why don't we bring the food we harvested this year to your home to dry? Is it successful?"

When Xu Shaolin heard this, he thought to himself, this yard is only enough for their own family to dry their grain, if it is given to others, where should his family's grain be stored? But he directly refused and was afraid of hurting the harmony among the neighbors, so what should I say?

Just when Xu Shaolin was struggling with how to answer, he heard another person say: "You have a good idea, the Daxi family also has land, and they have to harvest food at that time. They can't let you use their own yard, but their family ran away." Let's go to the sun-drying field!"

"Ah, brother Xu, look at me, I always speak without hesitation, don't be surprised!"

Xu Shaolin also smiled: "It's okay, it's okay to help neighbors!"

"Hahaha, I love to hear that. Tsk tsk, look at the courtyard wall, it's really magnificent, yo, why are there so many rubbles inserted on the top of the courtyard wall for what purpose?"

"Well, Daxi said it was reserved for thieves, and the sharper end of the broken rubble was embedded into the wall upwards. If a thief climbed over the wall, he would be stabbed by the sharp thing. Daxi said that these might be harmful to real habitual thieves. It's useless, but it will make it more difficult for them to climb over the wall!" Xu Shaolin said with a smile, his face was filled with pride.

"So that's how it is. Daxi's brain is really good. If my house is built and the courtyard wall is built later, I will definitely put some rubble on it!"

"That's right, this idea is really good! I really didn't see Daxi's ability before! Brother Xu is lucky! Hehehe..."

The few people who came to view the new house laughed, and Xu Shaolin laughed along with him. In fact, he couldn't understand how Daxi came up with these things in his mind. That kind of debris is only good if it is embedded in the wall, I don't know what kind of object that wave is from!

The people came to look at the high-walled compound, but they didn't notice the kitchen and huts. If they did, they would probably be discussed again.

Mo Wuqing moved a small bench and sat in the yard, with a sewing basket beside him, and was making the child's small clothes in his hand, and the child was due to be born in two months, so he had to get ready early.

Mo Xiaoyu and Mo Xiaoyi were squatting on the ground playing with rocks. Those stones were the cobblestones that the artisans brought from the river beach, most of them were used to pave the bathroom floor, and Mo Dai only picked some beautifully shaped stones for Mo Xiaoyu and Mo Xiaoyi to play with.

When Mo Xiaoyu turned around and saw the little clothes in Mo Wuqing's hand, he immediately stood up and ran to his side, pointing to the little clothes and asked: "San Dae, is this for me and my younger brother?" The younger brother Mo Xiaoyu said was Pointing to Mo Xiaoyi, Mo Xiaoyi also rushed over when he heard it, and when he saw the brand new little clothes, he didn't want the pebbles in his hand, and threw stones directly to catch the little clothes.

"Little wing, don't grab it, look at your dirty hands!" Mo Wuqing hurriedly put away the little clothes and stuffed them in the sewing basket beside him, and stretched out his arms to wrap Mo Xiaoyu and Mo Xiaoyi in his arms, "This little clothes are for my sister Yes!" Mo Wuqing's pregnancy is very big, and the baby moves a lot in it on weekdays, everyone who saw it said it would be a girl, and Mo Wuqing himself thought it would be a girl.

"Sister?" Mo Xiaoyu instinctively touched Mo Wuqing's big belly with her small hand, "Is my sister here?"

Mo Xiaoyi also babbled and touched Mo Wuqing's stomach with his small hand. Suddenly, Mo Xiaoyi felt something move under his palm, so scared that he quickly retracted his little hand, and stared at Mo Wuqing with big eyes. The light belly looked and looked, but didn't find anything coming out. So after a while, Mo Xiaoyi stretched out his little hand curiously to touch Mo Wuqing's belly again, and the little doll in the stomach seemed to sense that Mo Xiaoyi was approaching, and moved again, and Mo Xiaoyi moved again. Was taken aback. After repeating this several times, Mo Xiaoyi was no longer afraid, but became addicted to playing. As soon as the doll moved, he quickly withdrew his hand and giggled, then put his little hand on it and waited...

Seeing that Mo Xiaoyi was having fun, Mo Xiaoyu was eager to try.

Mo Wuqing was speechless, sorry to see, he thought his big belly was useless at first, but this time he finally found that his big belly is also useful, that is, it can be used as a toy for the two babies. of.

Mo Wuyun and Mo Wufeng were still busy cleaning up. After wiping the window and door frames, they started to clean the floor. Mo Daxi told them before that although it is convenient to sweep the polished stone floor, it will raise a lot of dust. For this reason, she asked Xu Shaolin to find some old clothes that were too worn to wear and tear them into cloth strips to make a mop. Save it for mopping.

After they cleaned up the inside and outside of the new house, it was already noon. After sending away another wave of villagers who came to observe, Xu Shaolin went to Mo Guihua's house to cook on crutches, because the pots and stoves in the new house It hasn't been fully built yet, so we can only use Mo Guihua's kitchen for the time being.

When Mo Dai was not at home, the food quality of Mo Daxi's family obviously dropped. The four adults who were too poor were willing to eat only white rice and white noodles, so their lunch was black rice porridge mixed with a handful of white noodles and a handful of white rice. Then Chinese cabbage was fried, and the oil was not at all willing to put it in. It was only for the sake of having two children and a pregnant woman that Xu Shaolin took three eggs and boiled them heartlessly.

For more than a month, the appetite of Mo Daxi's family has obviously been spoiled by the meals made by Mo Dai. Even Xu Shaolin, who ate the cabbage buns made by himself that lacked oil and salt, were a little hard to swallow, but they still kept silent. The others ate like this, even the two little ones didn't make any noise, they quickly drank up a small bowl of black noodle porridge, didn't eat the Chinese cabbage, just slipped down to the dining table to play with the eggs Xu Shaolin gave them. went.

As for Maru Niu, I have to say that it has a very personality, so it simply stopped eating. At this time, it has long forgotten that when it first arrived at Mo Daxi's house, in order to fill its stomach, it was afraid of even the small bowl of rough black batter. A child coveted it and swallowed it without hesitation.

Xu Shaolin also only ate a bowl of porridge and put down his chopsticks. He looked up and glanced at the table without Mo Daxi, always feeling empty, and the atmosphere during the meal was like the Chinese cabbage lacking in oil and salt, very bland and tasteless. The two grandsons have slipped away, and the three sons are silent, alas!

If Daxi was around, the two children would definitely not sneak out to play early, and they would never skip a bite of cabbage. How could that small bowl of porridge be enough? I'm afraid they are waiting for their mother to come back and cook them delicious food!

If Daxi was there, although the three sons would not speak, they would still show different expressions when watching Daxi tease the two children. How could they be as lifeless as they are now?

The meal passed in such silence. After the meal, Mo Wuyun and Mo Wufeng washed the dishes and fed the pigs, and then continued to take care of the two children who hadn't had time to finish because they were busy building a house. Finished with Xu Shaolin's new clothes. Of course, what they didn't say was that they also made one for Modai.

At the end of the hour, Mo Xiaoyu suddenly rushed into the courtyard of his new home, and Mo Xiaoyi sprinted slowly and followed behind. Seeing his grandfather Xu Shaolin weaving bamboo baskets, Mo Xiaoyu gasped excitedly and said: "Master (ancestor) Father...mother, mother is back!" After finishing speaking, without waiting for Xu Shaolin to react, he ran out of the house again, Mo Xiaoyi just followed in but saw that his brother was about to go out again, so he ran out with his short legs .

When Xu Shaolin heard that Mo Daxi had returned, he felt a little excited, and he stopped weaving the bamboo baskets, and followed out with a cane.

Three bullock carts drove steadily into Mojia Village. The bullock carts were piled up with all kinds of furniture painted with paulownia varnish. Two large round tables, one short book case, twelve armchairs, two coffee tables, eight stools, six wardrobes, one dresser with a brass mirror, two chaise longues, and two finely crafted Rocking horses and strange iron boxes and barrels. Mo Dai didn't ask carpenter Gu to make a bed, because all the rooms in the house that could be lived in were built with kangs, and they only needed to weave bamboo mats to spread on them.

Seeing Mo Xiaoyu and Mo Xiaoyi flying towards her, the smile on Mo Dai's lips widened, she jumped off the bullock cart neatly, and greeted them with open arms.

Mo Xiaoyu flew straight into Modai's embrace, while Mo Xiaoyi stopped halfway, seeing that Modai was still waiting with open arms towards him, he was stunned for a moment, and finally pulled out his calf and rushed towards Modai Come over, however, I was about to pounce on it, but unexpectedly my little foot tripped over the uneven dirt road, fell to the ground with a slap, and burst into tears.

Mo Dai hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, took out a sweat towel to wipe his tears, and at the same time held two sugar figurines in front of him and Mo Xiaoyu: "Look at what this is?"

Mo Xiaoyi was immediately attracted by the sugar figurine, and stopped crying instantly, big tears still hanging on her long eyelashes. Mo Xiaoyu was also attracted by the sugar figure, and excitedly shouted: "Pig! Pig!"

Mo Dai distributed the sugar figures to them, and picked up one in each hand. The food for more than a month has been effective. The weight of the little ones seems to have increased, but there is still not much meat on their bodies. It seems that she has to make persistent efforts!

The furniture brought back by Mo Dai once again attracted the crowds of the villagers. After the last two times, Mo Dai was already numb, and only cared about moving the furniture into the yard with Mo Wuyun and Mo Wufeng. If anyone talked to her, she would Then she responded with a smile, answered those who could answer, and let out a "hehe" if she couldn't answer. It didn't take long for those who came to watch were all "hehe" away by her.

Mo Xiaoyu and Mo Xiaoyi looked curiously and excitedly at Mo Tai, Mo Wuyun and Mo Wufeng moving in and out of furniture. Although they didn't think the furniture was useful, they were thinking "this belongs to my family" and were proud And pride will appear on their little faces. After seeing the two rocking horses, they were very pleasantly surprised. They cheered and ran over, but refused to get off after sitting on them.

After all the furniture was put back, Mo Dai called Mo Guihua to build the pot together. Mo Dai put the iron box and bucket back to the original reserved position on the pot and stove, and Mo Guihua did the final work of plastering the mud and embedding the grinding stone.

When the pots and stoves were cleaned up, it was already midnight, Maru Niu couldn't wait to run to Mo Dai's feet and said: I haven't eaten lunch yet, I'm hungry, I want to eat! You hurry to cook!

Mode: Why didn't you eat lunch?

Maru Niu: Too bad!

Mode: Starve to death!

Maru Niu was not convinced: Your two little ones didn't eat much, it was really unpalatable! Black noodle porridge with fried Chinese cabbage that lacks oil and salt, how unpalatable it is!

Mo Dai noticed that the two little ones were also looking at her eagerly, their stomachs were already growling, and then she frowned, not only complaining that Xu Shaolin was too frugal, but also worried that the two little ones would be picky eaters. If she can't come back to cook every day, what will the two little ones do? Thinking of this, Mo Dai glared at Maru Niu: Something is better than nothing! It's just a pig, and it still hates this and that!

Maru Niu was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, and was about to reason with her, but found that she was already walking towards Mo Guihua's house, Maru Niu followed, and the two younger ones also ran over.

Mo Dai didn't want to make too complicated things today, so he simply put cabbage, radish and pork together, and made a big pot of porridge. Because there was no steamed buns and pancakes, Mo Dai added more white rice, so the porridge was very thick , the whole courtyard of Mo Guihua's house was filled with the strong aroma of vegetable and meat porridge. This big pot of porridge was enough for two families. In addition, Mo Dai also roasted three or four sweet potatoes in the stove, thinking that if anyone was not full, he could eat some more sweet potatoes.

During the meal, the big cat suddenly asked Mo Dai: "Aunt Daxi, when will your pot and stove be ready for use?"

"About two or three days, what's the matter?"

"Oh..." Big Cat frowned involuntarily, with an extremely sad look on his face, "I was thinking, I can only eat the food you cooked for three more days, alas!" Then he sighed.

Mo Dai was startled, then smiled and said: "You and the second cat and the third cat can come to my house to eat every day!"

"Really? Oh, that's great!" The big cat stood up and cheered, and the second cat and the third cat also stood up and cheered.

"Sit down!" Mo Guihua sternly yelled, and the three cats sat down obediently immediately, and then Mo Guihua said, "Daxi, don't spoil them. If they eat too much good food, just watch it." Don’t go to the simple food at home, they really think of themselves as the fate of the official son! From now on, I will stay at my old lady’s house honestly, and I am not allowed to go to your Aunt Daxi’s house for dinner every once in a while!"

The words of Mo Guihua made Mo Dai fall into deep thought, that's right, people go from being frugal to being extravagant, once they get used to living a good life, if they are beaten back to the poor with a stick, then it is really possible that they will not survive go down.

In Mo Daxi's family, Xu Shaolin is kind but cowardly, and Mo Wufeng is the same. Mo Wuyun and Mo Wufeng are somewhat rebellious, but in this world of women, they are often powerless as men Yes, and the two children Mo Xiaoyu and Mo Xiaoyi are weak existences that can only depend on adults.

If she was there, she would do her best to ensure that they had no worries about food and clothing, but if she was gone, how would they live on? Of course, she was thinking too much, let alone that she would not leave them and leave this home, even if she left, she believed that Mo Wuyun and the others would be able to survive, after all, most of the time, human potential lies in the Only under the persecution of the predicament can it be brought into full play.

Forget it, educating the two little ones is not a matter of overnight, take it slowly, she will let them know that she loves them, but she will never spoil them.

That night, Mo Dai and Xu Shaolin moved into their new home for the first time. There are many rooms at present, there are two rooms on the east side of the main house, Mo Dai and Xu Shaolin each live in one room, Mo Dai lives in the easternmost room, and the two little ones, Wamaru, sleep with her. There are three rooms on the west side, from west to east are Mo Wuqing, Mo Wufeng and Mo Wuyun.

The combined wardrobe that Modai bought is divided into six vertical cabinets, except that Modai used two vertical cabinets because there are children's clothes to be stored, and the other four people each have a vertical cabinet. In the main hall, in addition to a long table against the back wall, there is also a large round table in the middle, surrounded by eight armchairs, and two armchairs on both sides of the main hall. There is a coffee table between the chairs. Another large round table and eight stools are placed in the west compartment of the front room for the family to eat on weekdays, and if there are relatives and friends, they can eat in the main hall.

In addition to two closets, Mo Dai's room also has a desk for short books, while Xu Shaolin's and Mo Wuqing's rooms each have a reclining chair. A vanity stand with a bronze mirror is in the bathroom, and a child's rocking horse is in the southernmost room of the Westinghouse.

Xu Shaolin didn't say much about Mo Dai's distribution, but he was thinking in his heart that his three sons and Daxi were not close when they slept on the same kang, but now that they are separated like this, wouldn't the relationship between husband and wife become stronger? Something went wrong? Mo Wuyun, Mo Wufeng and Mo Wuqing couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable after the joy of moving into their room at the beginning. The person who feels the most at ease is Mode, it is really refreshing to have her own room.

However, Mo Dai neglected one thing, which is very important to the whole family - Mo Dai forgot to buy quilts, and Mo Daxi's family only had two broken quilts.

So, not long after Mo Dai lay down on the kang, she heard a moderate knock on the door, and when she opened the door, Xu Shaolin stood outside, and behind him were Mo Wuyun, Mo Wufeng and Mo Wuqing.

Uh, what does this mean?

When Xu Shaolin took away Maruniu and the two younger ones with a rare and tough attitude, the two younger ones frequently turned their heads to look at her and the three Mo Wuyun brothers, their eyes were clearly resentment towards their mother and The envy of the three fathers.

When only the three brothers Mo Dai and Mo Wuyun were left in the room, it was eerily quiet for a while, except for Mo Dai, it seemed as if the other three were holding their breath, depressing, dull, and embarrassing, going back and forth among them.

Mo Dai was the first to break the silence of the room: "I was negligent, I will go to town tomorrow to buy some more quilts, let's make do tonight?" Although it was a question, there was only one answer, You have to make do with it.

"What the wife master said is true." It was Mo Wuyun who took Mo Dai's words at this time, otherwise the atmosphere would have remained stagnant.

Looking at the obviously overly stiff bodies of the three people in front of her, Mo Dai realized that although she and them had almost slept separately in the past month or so, they were husband and wife after all, so they should do this at night Or that fact is normal, they are worried about whether she will perform the ceremony of husband and wife with them in the future!

Mode wanted to say, you really think too much! Let's not say that she doesn't have such dirty thoughts at all now, even if she did, she hasn't dared to be with the three brothers yet!

Thinking that they have to sleep tonight, it's not a problem to embarrass them all the time, so Mo Dai smiled gently: "Hehehe, don't be nervous, it's not that you haven't slept, let's go together." After Mo Dai sent the letter, she was also nervous, otherwise she wouldn't have spoken so endlessly without transition, and as soon as this sentence came out, the three Mo Wuyun brothers became even more nervous.

Mo Dai thought, that's all, she should sleep with her first, as soon as she fell asleep, the sense of crisis in the hearts of the three brothers would be relieved. Thinking of this, Mo Dai directly climbed onto the kang, pulled over the torn quilt and fell asleep, leaving the three brothers standing on the ground and looking at each other.

Mo Wuyun frowned. Sure enough, he had always felt that after Mo Daxi's turnaround became better, everything was done in place, but there was only something missing. Now he suddenly realized that what Mo Daxi lacked was What, it is a woman's "desire" for a man. They are her husbands. Although they were disgusted and alienated her earlier, but now they stand in front of her without any resistance. She actually, unexpectedly...

"Brother, let's rest too." Mo Wufeng didn't think as much as Mo Wuyun. For him, it was very good for his wife to become like this, but he was a little embarrassed and confused when facing such a wife. Reassuring, but still a little scared, and at the same time feeling embarrassed and shy, it was really a mess, so although he said to stop, his feet still stood still.

"Well, rest." Although Mo Wuyun responded, he didn't see him move.

Mo Wuqing was straightforward, seeing his eldest brother and second brother hesitate, he felt angry: "I'll go to sleep first!" Then he took off his old robe, got on the kang, and lay down next to Mo Dai.

Mo Wuyun and Mo Wufeng were stunned for a moment, they said nothing more, they also got on the kang, turned off the lights and went to sleep.

Mo Wuqing's stomach became distended, and he could not sleep well at night, and had difficulty breathing, and he cried loudly after falling asleep. Mo Dai was woken up several times, thinking about how Xu Shaolin and the others have lived in the past month or so? There was no sign of Mo Wuyun and Mo Wufeng waking up, but they were already used to it.

Mo Dai remembered that before she was sixteen years old in her previous life, she also saw women with big bellies, it was quite hard work, but now it is a man to give birth to children, it is also difficult, and Mo Wuqing has become more and more irritable since she became pregnant The main reason is obvious.

Mo Wuqing moved his body again, as if his waist was extremely uncomfortable, so Mo Dai pressed her back against him, hoping that he would be more comfortable, but unexpectedly she just got close to him, and he entangled her whole body, once again Just like the night when he first came home, he hugged her with his arms around her waist, rested her big belly on her stomach, and put a long leg across her leg, pinning her to death on the kang, unable to move. But Mo Wuqing finally slept soundly.

Mo Dai silently reflected on herself in the dark, and decided not to be kind next time, the end of being kind is to let other people's happiness be based on her own pain!

At Maoshi the next day, when Mo Wuyun woke up, what he saw was Mo Wuqing clinging to Mo Daxi's body. Mo Wuqing was sleeping soundly, while Mo Daxi was staring blankly with his eyes wide open. looking at the roof like...

"Wife master?" Mo Wuyun was a little scared for a moment, and called out tremblingly.

Mo Wufeng, who was sleeping in the innermost corner, also woke up at this time. Seeing his eldest brother sitting on the kang staring blankly at something, he also sat up and asked softly, "Brother, what are you looking at?" Looking sideways, he was also stunned on the spot.

But at this moment, Mo Dai's weak voice suddenly came from their ears: "Wuyun, Wufeng, quickly pull this guy away from me. My god, I really thought I would be killed by my husband and wife last night." The unborn child in his womb was crushed to death, if that kind of thing really happened, I guess you would be embarrassed to tell others how I died, and I, Mo Daxi, would be ashamed even if I died!"

"Pfft!" Mo Wufeng was suddenly amused by Mo Dai's words, just smiled and tears flowed down, he quickly raised his sleeve to wipe away.

Mo Wuyun couldn't help but laugh, but he just relaxed a little from his indifferent expression all year round, and unknowingly spit out a sentence that was similar to flirting: "What is not dead, don't say such unlucky words in the future! "While speaking, Mo Wuyun himself was stunned, and in the next second, embarrassment swept over, and Mo Wuyun quickly reached out to pull Mo Wuqing who was wrapped around Mo Dai.

Mo Wuqing would not have slept like this in the first place, but in his dream he got a fragrant and soft pillow, which was made of the moon white muslin Mo Daxi bought, although he disagreed verbally and psychologically. , but the instinct of the body told him bluntly that it was really comfortable to sleep with that pillow in his arms. Therefore, he hugged the pillow all the time, too comfortable to wake up.

When Mo Dai left, her face was very tired, and she muttered that she really wanted to take a hot bath, and try to see if the bath was working or not. And Mo Wuqing who knew what stupid thing he had done was once again so embarrassed that he hid in his room and refused to come out. Mo Wuyun and Mo Wufeng were also a little embarrassed, and there was a blush on their faces that seemed ambiguous to Xu Shaolin.

So, Xu Shaolin was overjoyed, and he smiled when he looked at Mo Wuyun and Mo Wufeng.

Mo Wuyun was too embarrassed to look at Xu Shaolin, and hurriedly said, "Father, I'll make breakfast!"

Seeing his elder brother leaving, Mo Wufeng hurriedly said, "Father, I'll fetch water!" After speaking, he picked up two wooden buckets and went out.

The slightly flustered behavior of the two of them confirmed Xu Shaolin's suspicion of them more and more, so he smiled even more heartily. Naturally, the two little ones didn't know about the turbulent undercurrent between adults, so they woke up early in the morning and played with Maruniu in the yard.

Sishi, when Mo Dai **** her long hair again and appeared in the storytelling venue on the second floor of Fumantang wearing the pink and purple gown that Fang Ling gave her, the buzzing and noisy venue was suddenly silent, and then There was a crowd of applause in response, and before the talk started, the rewarding silver was crackling and thrown into the copper bowl of the young mistress Wu Lian.

Fang Ling was stunned. He never expected that Mo Daxi would still cause such a big commotion after such a long time. If the old storyteller Shang Yihong saw it, would he be so angry that he would vomit blood?

Mo Dai also didn't expect that she was so popular, and when she wanted to continue talking about the plot Shang Yihong said yesterday, she heard a loud voice: "Mo Daxi, I don't want to listen to "Journey to the West" today!" Mo Dai was startled, but listened to the human voice, "Since you are here, I want to listen to "Wu Niang Fights the Tiger"!"

As soon as this person took the lead, many people shouted and responded one after another—

"Yes, we want to listen to "Wu Niang Fights the Tiger". I haven't listened to it for a long time, and I miss it very much!"

"I just want to hear the part about throwing the teacup, it's such a joy to fall!"

"Mo Daxi, hurry up and tell us, we are all waiting!"

"speak!"

"speak!"

…

Mo Dai secretly let out a sigh of relief, God, there were several ups and downs when she came up, the silence at the beginning almost made her think that she was also left out, but the next second she was thrown into a fog by applause and rewards , I was about to start the lecture, but I was told that I didn't want to listen to it, and then I said I wanted to listen to "Wu Niang Fighting the Tiger". Today, if she is a little less courageous, or if her psychological endurance is a little weaker, she will definitely give her food on the spot.

Mo Dai glanced at Fang Ling who was standing at the back of the venue, meaning, shopkeeper, look, should I say it or not?

Fang Ling glared at Mo Dai, you stinky girl, you should give this old lady a fright! Talk about it! Of course I have to say it! Anyway, they have to pay for the money for breaking the teacup themselves!

So Mo Dai said it, and picked up the jokes she said earlier. This time, Modai was able to capture the ups and downs of the audience's mood. It was obviously a joke she had heard before, but when she said it like this, it was like being there. The environment is vivid, the breath of the audience is under her control, thrills and excitement emerge between her red lips and white teeth, those black and bright pupils, sweeping towards you, can be as pure as water, spring breeze Flicking your face can also be as sharp as a knife, tearing open your soul, the black eyebrows flying obliquely, the scene changes between gathering and parting, until the end of the last sentence, everyone present is still unable to regain their minds from the wonderful story , It took a long time to hear thunderous applause from the audience.

After the book was finished, Fang Ling walked behind Mo Dai who was drinking water from a large bowl. He didn't speak, but only let out a long sigh.

After drinking the water, Mo Dai turned to look at her: "Shopkeeper, what's the matter?"

Fang Ling also looked at Mo Dai, frowned and said, "Daxi, you really don't think about storytelling?"

"Not consider."

"Why don't you think about it again? You are very talented in storytelling. If you have a storyteller, let alone a 10% profit, even if you add a little more, 10% and a half, I can also consider it!" Fang Ling said cruelly, just as the saying goes. The child can't be tied to a wolf, she doesn't believe that Mo Daxi, a dead girl, doesn't want to make money.

Seeing Fang Ling gritted his teeth and cut his flesh in pain, Mo Dai thought about it for a while, and then replied: "I don't think about it, I want to take good care of my husband and the child..."

Hearing this, Fang Ling vomited blood silently in his heart, and automatically ignored the child. He only heard Mo Dai say that she must take good care of her body for her husband. Is this stinky girl alluding to her excessive indulgence?

"Really don't think about it?"

"Not consider."

"Crack!" Fang Ling was upset, and suddenly grabbed the big bowl that Mo Dai had drunk from and smashed it on the ground, and looked down on Mo Dai bitterly, "Nothing! You know your husband and wife all day long, I look down on you !" After saying that, he left with his sleeves shaken, and happened to meet Xiao Xiao coming downstairs carrying the leftover soup from the guests, and almost missed Xiao Xiao.

"Shopkeeper, who made you angry again?" Xiao Xiao asked with a smile, barely avoiding Fang Ling's body.

Fang Ling glared at her angrily: "Go away, you are like a bird like Mo Daxi, I am not happy to see it!"

Xiao Xiao immediately corrected her after hearing this: "Shopkeeper, you are wrong, I am completely different from Daxi..."

Fang Ling yelled irritably: "If you say one more word, I will pack up my bed and go home and eat myself!"

Xiao Xiao shut up immediately.

Fang Ling went out of the lobby to the backyard, Xiao Xiao put the dishes in his hands into the kitchen sink and came out to look for Mo Dai. On the way, he met a white fat man, and the two stared at each other disgustedly. After turning his face away, Xiao Xiao immediately showed a bright smile at Modai: "Daxi!"

After lunch, Modai gave another lecture, which was an empty plan, and the audience responded enthusiastically, but someone said: "It would be even better if there is Miss Smith's piano accompaniment!"

Maude smiled in agreement. Speaking of Shi Lan, she has been in Fumantang for many days, and Mo Dai has never had any doubts about it. After all, Fumantang is the property of her historian, and her coming and going is entirely up to her own wishes.

Since that day when Shi Lan cleverly played the piano halfway to make music for herself, Modai knew that Shi Lan wanted to make friends with her. But Mo Dai always thinks that she and Shi Lan are people of different social levels. Shi Lan is the employer, but she is just the employee. The employer can appreciate the employee, but it is unlikely to become a bosom friend with the employee. Modai sticks to her duty, Shi Lan has helped her, she is grateful to her, and there will be no deeper relationship other than that.

At 2:00 a.m., when Mo Dai was about to leave Fumantang and go home, Fang Ling stopped her and threw her a silver ingot of ten taels: "This is the reward for today's storytelling. Next time, when Mr. Shang is resting, you have to return it." go on!"

"Thank you shopkeeper!" Mo Dai thanked with a smile, "I find that you have become more and more handsome and handsome recently..."

"Go, go, don't give me a hippie smile!" Fang Ling waved away Modai, turned around, and couldn't help touching his cheek, well, the skin is really good recently!

After Mo Dai left Fumantang, the first thing she did was to go to the cotton workshop to buy quilts. The cotton workshop is a place that specializes in picking cotton, and the owner of the workshop also makes some quilts for sale. According to the quality of the cotton inside and the quality of the quilt surface, the price of quilts is also divided into several grades. Modai didn't buy poor ones, nor did she buy expensive ones. Medium-sized ones were fine. She picked six quilts in total. The green silk embroidered with mandarin ducks is very smooth and delicate to the touch.

In addition, Mo Dai also bought a large bag of stretched cotton, this time she must make a pillow for Mo Wuqing. Six quilts, plus a bag of cotton, cost a total of more than seven taels of silver. Because each quilt weighs about seven or eight catties, and it is a big hug when stacked, and Mo Dai alone can't carry that much. The owner of the shop was very enthusiastic, saying that he had a carriage and could help Mo Dai deliver the goods back, so Mo Dai naturally wished for it.

When the guys in the workshop helped Mo Dai to load the quilts into the car, several other people also came to buy quilts. After a casual glance, Mo Dai found that one of them was familiar, and the person she thought was familiar also happened to be Look over here.
