Rebirth: Back to the Countryside

Chapter 10

The manuscript I sent to the magazine last time earned about 800 yuan, and Mu Ci took it out. She wants to buy some clothes today.

I didn't go to the small commodity market, and I knew there were many people, and Mu Ci wanted to buy better quality sportswear, so it was best to go to a specialty store.

At this time, sports brands are very easy to do, unlike the big brands that have closed down one after another more than ten years later.

Mu Ci chose the domestic LN brand sportswear and bought two sets, a silver one with a slim fit, and a set of black and white jacket and pure black trousers. Because of the 218% off promotion, Mu Ci spent a total of [-] yuan.

Mu Ci thought about it, and felt that he had enough money, so he chose two sets for his brother, and bought a pair of sneakers for each of them.

Then Mu Ci still had 97 yuan in his hand.

The money is like running water, but Mu Ci feels that she hasn't bought enough, and she needs to replace her underwear. She bought two sets of girls' underwear at the underwear store, with two pairs of underwear, for 35 yuan a set.

With only 27 yuan left, Mu Ci went to find her brother with a shopping bag. When she smelled the smell of roadside snacks, she wished she could have some of everything, but now, she has no food in hand!

When Mu Xing saw the big bag and small bag of Muci, his first reaction was: 5 yuan must not be enough, so my sister won’t pay on credit for so many things, he can’t afford it!

"Where did you get the money to buy these things?"

"I earned it myself!"

It’s okay to tell my brother, “I wrote a few short stories and they kept them, so I made some money.”

The stunned brother asked stupidly, "What magazine has such a low threshold..."

Should she take back her brother's clothes?

Mu Xing, who realized later that he was wrong, quickly comforted his younger sister: "My younger sister is still the best, she has become a writer!"

"It's just writing novels, not a writer. You have to hide this from me."

If her family finds out, no matter how much she earns, she will think that you are not writing literary works, and you must have no future. Students should still study hard and don't think about other things.

"Yes, I understand. But how do you explain these things you bought?" This is not something my sister can afford, so I have to think of a suitable reason.

Mu Ci had already thought about it, convincing his brother was the first and most important step.

"If grandpa and grandma ask, just say that the adults bought it for you, not whether it is grandma or mother." It is normal for grandma and mother to buy clothes for Brother Qian.

"If grandma asks you when you go back, you can tell me that you bought it in the small commodity market with your savings, and it is cheap." There are many pirated goods in the small commodity market, but the quality is different. .

After making good words, Mu Xing bought a reference book, and the two of them went to eat snacks, especially fried rice noodles and fried potato chips, which are delicious for rural children who can't eat them all year round.

The contented brother and sister rubbed their stomachs and walked back, just in time to digest.

When I returned to grandma's house, it was almost time for dinner, but my uncle's family hadn't come back yet, so grandma had to wait for them to come back before cooking, so as not to be cold and taste bad.

When grandma saw the shopping bag in his brother's hand, she didn't ask much, and said, "I bought it in the small commodity market. There are all pirated clothes, but it's better than what you are wearing now."

"..."

The shopping bag in Mu Xing's hand was taken by Mu Ci from the small commodity market, and he put all the clothes he bought into it, even the labels were cut off, so it's hard to tell if you don't look carefully.

It was dark, and when my uncle drove a car back to grandma's house, it was already nine o'clock.

Grandma was a little upset, "Why did you come back so late, I've been waiting for you to eat until now."

The uncle was shocked: "Why haven't you eaten yet? We all ate outside. Tonight there is a singing party in the city. Wenwen insisted on watching it, so I came back at this hour."

"Grandma, today is the National Day. It's hard to go out to play once. I accidentally played late. I'm sorry." Mu Wen got out of the car in a pink girly dress. She has bright eyes and bright teeth. style.

Zhang Yuzhi looked at her beautiful granddaughter whom she had always been proud of, and most of the anger in her heart went down, "There is a landline at home, and you don't know how to call back."

Mu Wen knew that her grandma was about to lose her temper, so she quickly echoed: "Yes, I know that grandma is wrong."

Thinking that she hadn't had dinner yet, grandma went to the kitchen: "I'll cook some noodles and forget it, and Wenwen will also eat some for supper."

Mu Wen shook her head: "Grandma doesn't need to be mine, I'm afraid I'll get fat if I eat it so late."

"You're so fat, you're slim, grandma looks just right!" But in the end, she didn't force Mu Wen to eat.

Grandpa Mu Quan'an has been watching from the sidelines. In this family, he has to listen to her wife. If his wife is not angry, he has to hold back his anger.However, he won't be angry with his second son. His Mu family will have to rely on his second son in the future, whoever makes him the most promising.

"Mu Qihang, come and take Fanfan away!" Shen Nan got impatient waiting in the car.

"Oh." Mu Qihang quickly went to the passenger seat and carried out his sleeping son.

Grandpa was not happy when he saw this: "Fanfan is asleep, why don't you just live in the house in the city, this child is asleep, it's not good to go back and forth."

The uncle explained as he entered the house: "My house was just installed and not ventilated, and Nan Nan and I didn't move in, we were still living in a rented house. And I have to go to S province with Nan Nan on business tomorrow, so I'll live better when I come back." ... Hey, the Mu Xing brothers and sisters are back?"

Mu Xing and Mu Ci were just inside the gate. He wanted to say hello, but seeing that they were talking, he didn't come forward to speak. He didn't find them until his uncle entered the room.

"Uncle... Aunt..."

The two brothers and sisters called out.

The uncle answered and went upstairs with his son in his arms.

"Yo, who is this? I haven't seen you for two years, how dare you come back?" Mu Wen sneered when she heard that her cousin had returned.

"My cousin said that, why don't you dare, as if there is a tiger in grandma's house that wants to eat me." Mu Ci replied not to be outdone.

Mu Wen is impatient, "Who do you call a tiger?"

"Cousin, I admire you for taking the meaning out of context. Did I say who is the tiger?"

Mu Wen couldn't say enough, which made Mu Wen very annoyed, "You don't want to do this to me, this is my house!"

Mu Cixiao wanted her to bow her head under the roof, would she agree?

"Wenwen, how do you talk!" Aunt Shen Nan didn't want her daughter to do something disrespectful, even if she hated her, she still smiled and said sweet and sharp words.

"Xiaoci, don't be angry with your cousin, after all, we were not mentally prepared to see you suddenly."

Mu Ci's smile didn't change, "I'm just going back to grandma's house, you are too polite, don't worry, I'm grown up and sensible, I won't be angry with my cousin."

First, this is grandma's house, not my uncle's. Even if she is unwelcome, she doesn't need to report to my uncle's house when she comes back!

Second, I don't care if my cousin is so ignorant.

Aunt Shen Nan's eyes sharpened, and she raised her hand to pin the broken hair behind her ears, revealing the pearl earrings on the snow-white pinnae, "I haven't seen you for two years, Xiaoci has changed a lot, your cousin knows how to learn dance and music on weekdays." Reading, people are too simple, I am really afraid that your little aunt will be bullied in the future."

No matter how you say her daughter is better than a stinky girl in the valley who can't eat enough and doesn't wear warm clothes, her versatility and simplicity are her advantages.

Mu Ci could hear what her aunt said, afraid that she would bully Mu Wen with deep thoughts? "Auntie, you just think too much. Since my cousin is so good, it's too late for others to like her, so why would she bully her?"

Unless your daughter does it herself!

"I hope." The aunt was too lazy to say any more, wasting time, "Wenwen, go wash up and sleep."

Mu Wen listened to her mother the most, and she was really tired after playing all day. "Got it mom."

At this moment, grandpa interjected: "Wenwen, there are no vacant rooms, let Xiao Ci sleep with you today."

Mu Wen was shocked and furious: "Grandpa, that's my room, I can't let her sleep on my bed! It's so dirty!"

Hearing this, Mu Xing was angry and felt sorry for his younger sister, and said, "My younger sister will sleep in my room, and I will just sleep on the floor."

"How can this be done!" Grandpa felt that the Mu Xing brothers and sisters finally came back once, and it would be too ugly for people to make the floor.

At this time, the aunt said indifferently: "Dad, the floor of this house was just laid not long ago. It's nothing to sleep on with a bedding and a mattress. It's okay. It's too late. I went to bed with Wenwen."

Grandpa had no choice but to get the old quilt to put on the floor under Mu Xing's insistence, and then took out the quilt from the bed.

When Mu Ci came back this time, she had already thought about it in her heart, and she would just ignore everything, but now she thinks that it is better for her to come less often to her grandma's house, as she will always be an outsider to this place.

As for why?
Simply put, because of Mu Wen.

When I was young, I remembered that Mu Ci didn't play with Mu Wen very much, because Mu Wen likes to be domineering.And Mu Wen didn't like this wild girl-like cousin very much, but the two maintained a superficial peace.

Once, Mu Wen heard that her uncle’s family had ducklings, and Mu Ci’s brothers and sisters were going to move some red bricks near their home to build a house for the ducklings. Interested, say to move bricks together.

At that time, she was young, and moving two bricks at a time was very heavy. Mu Wen couldn't bear it, and said that she was building a house, so Mu Xing and Mu resigned to move bricks.

Mu Ci has no objection, just like a hardworking bee, move bricks, move bricks.

Because Mu Ci's house is located on a high ground, the foundation of his house is about half a meter higher than the road surface. Every time Mu Ci stands below and puts bricks on it, while Mu Wen plays with red bricks to build a house on it.

Delivering the red brick again, Mu Ci was tired, so he squatted down to rest. Unexpectedly, during this rest, a red brick fell from the top of his head, and with Mu Wen's voice: "This brick is missing a corner. , building a house will leak air..."

Mu Ci's head was bleeding, and he couldn't cry, he could only groan.

Then there was a period of chaos.
