Chapter 23 The eldest and the second came to the door
, "Hey kid, where are you going?" Seeing Mu Zishu pick up his coat and go out, Wang Aihua hurriedly called from behind.
"Look for the third child." Mu Zishu turned around and replied.
Wang Aihua looked at the sky and said, "This time has passed? The sun is so big, why don't you take a nap first, and then go after work in the afternoon."
She may not be willing to go to the third child, she has found out, now Although the third child has become more diligent, his temperament is even more unpleasant than before. He used to be lazy, and he was polite to her and Chen Ping's two sisters-in-law. Now he is not only cruel, but his mouth is as poisonous .
She didn't believe that the third child would be willing to come and help, and it was not easy to pull the parents.
"No, I'll go now." Mu Zishu walked out of the room in a non-negotiable tone, and if he went one afternoon late, he lost an afternoon of labor.
Wang Aihua: I just don't want you to get angry, why don't you listen?
"Brother. This is you?"
Mu Zishu just came out of the room, and Mu Ziye, who happened to be in the opposite room, also came out of the room.
"My younger brother and sister should have told you about the third child, let's go and talk to him together."
Mu Ziye smiled, "I mean that too." The two brothers walked out of the old house side by side.
"The third, the third." The two stood at the gate of the courtyard and called for the door.
Jian Qingling, who was cultivating in the room, was forced to stop from the practice, and the expression on her face was not very good.
Can't the voice be quieter?
"I told you not to rush to cultivate, but you don't believe it. Look, come on." Mu Ziteng shrugged at the dissatisfied Jian Qingling, and did not rush out to open the door, deliberately letting the two men cool.
"Spirit-stimulating, I don't think of us when something good happens, and come over to ask for help when something happens, it's really annoying." Jian Qingling jumped out of bed and washed her face with water.
Mu Ziteng yawned and opened the courtyard door, and when he saw the two of them, he just called out, "Big brother and second brother."
"What time is it, why are you still sleeping?" Mu Zishu said dissatisfiedly.
The third child went too far, leaving him and the second brother outside to bask in the sun for a long time.
Can't you hurry up and open the door when you hear the two of them calling for the door?
"What are you doing if you don't sleep? Besides, isn't it time to take a nap?" Mu Ziteng continued to walk without turning his head, but sneered in his heart.
Mu Zishu choked, although the third child was right, but he and the second brother sacrificed their nap time to come to him, and it was wrong for him to sleep.
After sitting down in the main room, Mu Ziteng ignored them when he saw the unsightly expressions on their faces.
"Big brother and second brother, this is the first time to come to my house after the separation. I don't know what's the matter with you coming here?"
In order not to affect Xiaolingzi's cultivation and upgrading, he didn't go around with the two of them, and asked straight to the point.
Thinking of the purpose of coming here, the brothers immediately retracted their dissatisfied expressions.
"The third child, has your family finished planting the seedlings?" Mu Zishu asked knowingly.
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Mu Ziteng looked at him puzzled.
After planting seedlings at his house, what does it matter to them?
"Since your house is finished, why don't you help in the old house? Mom and Dad..." Mu Zishu sounded like a big brother teaching a younger brother.
"Stop... You don't want to talk about your parents one by two. Since the family split, I have nothing to feel sorry for them. As long as there is something delicious at home, Xiaolingzi and I will treat the second old man. Please come and share."
These people are afraid that there is no other reason to say, and they like to bring wooden parents and wooden mothers wherever they are, as if he is very unfilial.
"Okay, let's not talk about parents." Seeing that the third child was impatient, he mentioned his parents, and he didn't want to. Of all the people in the old house, only the parents could make him a little scruples.
But now is not the time to argue with the third child, Mu Zishu can only press his irritable temper and talk to him well.
"We are all a family. You have finished planting seedlings, and you don't know how to take the initiative to help. Why do you want the eldest brother and the second brother to come over to invite you in person, so you are willing to help?"
Mu Zishu said with a smile, but in his tone But with a reproachful tone.
Mu Ziteng looked at Mu Ziye with a smile and asked, "Does the second brother think the same way as the eldest brother?"
This second brother is usually silent, but he is actually a selfish person.
Mu Ziye raised his head blankly, frowned slightly, and then nodded, "Yes, if you don't go to help, my eldest brother and I can only come over and invite you in person."
What happened to the third child? He chose to come with the eldest brother. Of course, he had the same idea. .
Look, as expected and Chen Ping will form a family, and they like to dig holes for others.
Mu Ziteng smiled and nodded, "Since you all treat me as a family, that's great, it just so happens that my family is running out of food, can you help the eldest brother and the second brother? After all, we are a family."
"What? "The two thought they were hallucinating.
"Big brother and second brother, my family has no food, can you support my brother?" Mu Ziteng repeated it again with a smile.
"Why?" Mu Ziye was the first to stand up against it, and his voice was not small.
Mu Zishu was also dissatisfied with the third child's tone of voice, and they didn't owe him anything, so why should they support him?
Jian Qingling, who didn't want to leave the room at first, heard his loud voice and had to leave the room.
"Big brother and second brother are here." After greeting the two of them lightly, he looked at Mu Ziteng and asked, "Why are you second brother, making him so angry?"
"Where did I provoke him, They said that everyone is a family, and the family needs to help each other. Our family has no food for the pot, so I want to ask them to help and get some food for our family, am I wrong?" Mu Ziteng said very Helpless.
Jian Qingling patted him on the shoulder and sighed: "You are not wrong, it's just that the second brother is unwilling to help each other, and aren't we separated? We are no longer a family, so there is no such thing as helping each other.
After explaining it clearly, he looked at the cotyledons of Muzishu, "Do you mean it? Big brother." Muzishu
was embarrassed and turned his head away from her.
Muziye: If you want to take advantage of me, you can't.
"Oh, so it is." Mu Ziteng looked at the two of them with an understanding expression, and said coldly: "Big brother and second brother, since we have separated, we are two families, and I have no obligation to help others for free. , you go back."
These two people really regarded him as a fool, the whole family just wanted to help with the work for free, in broad daylight, what are you dreaming about?
"The third child, why did you, a big man, let a woman be your master?" Mu Zishu was very dissatisfied when the third child refused.
Especially when he was disrupted by a woman, he felt a little embarrassed before, but now he just doesn't like Jian Qingling.
"Whoever is right in our family will listen to whoever is right." Mu Ziteng looked up at the sky and returned indifferently.

Chapter 24 Buying Food
"Third, I didn't expect you to be such a person, I really misjudged you." Mu Zishu pointed at Muziteng in disgust.
"What kind of person am I?" Mu Ziteng lowered his head and looked at his finger, his eyes were full of storms.
"As a brother, I'll let you do me a favor, but I didn't expect you to push things back and forth. Do you still consider us brothers?" Mu Zishu pointed at Mu Ziteng's finger because it was too angry and kept shaking.
"You're too embarrassed to tell me, your brother and my family are almost out of control, please do me a favor, if you don't want to lend a hand, it's fine, but you still use the excuse that the family should help each other to morally kidnap me and do it for you for free. I'm almost out of food, how can I still help you?" Mu Ziteng looked back, imitating the original owner's scornful tone.
Mu Zishu choked again, and also knew that the third child has always been unprofitable, and he would not help without giving him some hope, so he thought about it and said, "Otherwise, if you are willing to help, we can lend you a loan. Some grain, you can return it to us after the autumn harvest."
"Big brother." Mu Ziye worried that the third child would not return it after borrowing it, and wanted to stop him.
"Okay, I have my senses." Muzishu interrupted Muziye and continued.
"The third, your second brother is stubborn, I'll tell him." He said with a smile.
Mu Ziteng made a please gesture with a bad face.
Hmm. Thinking he wouldn't be able to hear what they were talking about outside?
Muzishu took Muziye out of the main room, and when he reached the yard, he whispered, "Second brother, what are you doing?"
"Brother, it's not like you don't know the temperament of the third child, you can get it back if you lend him food. Is it? I'd rather work hard for a few days to farm the fields rather than lend him food." Mu Ziye turned his head to the side in a fierce tone.
"Is that a matter of a few days of hard work? There are so many fields in the family, and it will take at least seven or eight days to complete the planting. With the youngest couple together, it can be completed in three days at most. Besides, when the grain was distributed, it was not given to him. If we allocate enough, we will lend him some of the portion that was less distributed to him, and we are not at a loss."
Mu Zishu thought about borrowing a little less, and even if the third child refused to recognize it, they would have no loss.
"Those grains were not distributed to him at the time, that's ours, we lent him, what if he doesn't pay it back?" Muziye was still unwilling.
"Okay, if you don't pay it back, we will come and move it by ourselves. Can't we two big men grab it back?" The second child was too protective of food.
The eavesdropping Muziteng Jian Qingling: It's really too strong to go back, and you can't take it back if you add two more.
"This, okay." The grain can be brought back, and someone is helping to farm the fields. This time, Muziye has no opinion.
Jian Qingling and Mu Ziteng in the main room could hear their conversation clearly, and they both laughed helplessly.
"These two people have good ideas. It's the first time I've met such a shameless person." Jian Qingling shook her head and looked at the wood, "What are you going to do?"
"Of course I agreed to help." Mu Ziteng smiled be meaningful.
"Huh??" Jian Qingling was taken aback.
Mu Ziteng patted the back of her hand, "Don't worry, you can just watch."
"I'll just listen."
Knowing that Mu Zishu didn't like her at present, Jian Qingling turned around and went back to the room before the two entered the hall.
"Third, what do you think of my proposal?"
"How much are you going to borrow?" Mu Ziteng sat up straight and looked at his elder brother with bright eyes.
Muzishu thought for a while and said, "50 catties of corn and 50 catties of wheat. You two can save some, and you can eat the autumn harvest. After the autumn harvest, you can return the grain to us."
"I only want rice."
He and Xiaolingzi were southerners in their previous lives, so it doesn't matter if they are not used to eating pasta, but it doesn't matter if they eat some occasionally.
And that wheat will not be ripe until next year, what should he pay for it? rice? Think beautiful.
"Rice, there's not much rice at home." Mu Zishu hesitated, he didn't want to give rice.
"Forget it, you can go back." Who is lying, he still knows how much rice is harvested every year, and now the old house is probably still a few hundred kilograms.
"Okay, I'll give you fifty catties."
"One hundred catties, fifty catties won't be enough to eat the autumn harvest." After a long time, how can fifty catties be able to do it?
"Okay, you can come to the old house after work in the afternoon to get it." They won't send it over. "It's getting late, we should go to the fields."
"Brother, I think about it, my family only has those two. I don’t want to pay it back.” Mu Ziteng said that he paused here, and saw that the two brothers changed their faces, and then said, “Why don’t I give you money.” The
two heard behind To add, it was first a sigh of relief, then a surprise.
It’s better to buy it with money. There must be a lot of food at home, but it’s just sold at the market here. Generally, no one buys the food. It’s too troublesome to go to the county to sell it.
"Okay, just buy it with money." Mu Zishu agreed quickly, afraid that the third child would regret it in the next moment.
"Big brother and second brother also know that when we split up, I didn't get a few dollars, so you have to give me something cheaper."
"The market price of rice is 30 cents a pound, and I will give you 28 cents. "Mu Zishu thought for a while and said.
"No, big brother, believe it or not, I will randomly buy 100 catties of rice in the village, 20 to 81 catties, to ensure that a group of people will come to my house and say, sell it to me, and personally pick the grain to my house?"
There is such a pit Brother's brother?
If he was not afraid of trouble in the future, he would have bought grain in the village a long time ago, and he could still be a few cents cheaper per catty.
"Big brother, if you still recognize me as a younger brother, give me two cents and fifty-one jin. If you agree, I will go to the old house to help now. If it doesn't work, forget it. I will buy it from another house. I heard that the third brother's house I want to sell food when I go back to the market, I will ask later, he should give me a little cheaper, after all, they are real relatives." Mu Ziteng deliberately aggressive, but it is the truth.
"Oh no, how can we have brothers in the Sanping family? I promised you, you go to get the food before dinner, let's go to the fields now." Mu Zishu hurriedly stopped him.
The third one was right. For the sake of relatives, the Sanping family would definitely sell it at a lower price. He couldn't go there for nothing today, and in the end he didn't get anything done.
This time, Muziye didn't interrupt again. 25 cents was the most ideal price in his heart. If his eldest brother could sell it for a higher price, he would be happier.
"You go first, I'll pack up and go immediately." Mu Ziteng smiled and sent the two out of the main room.
The two stood still and looked at him suspiciously. Mu Zishu frowned tightly and asked, "Third, are you going to be like before, you have to go after work?"
