A beautiful little life in a farmhouse

Chapter 92
"Thanks."

Xue Mu took the whip and left, and went out of the house. He had just walked a few steps, but his ears suddenly moved slightly, and he heard a few small groans coming from the house separated by several dilapidated houses.

He frowned and quickened his pace of leaving.

Not long after he had left, lame Liu in the room where the sound came from just now was taking big strides, tying his trouser belt and walking down, with Mu Shuang's legs limply turning his heels behind him.

When Xue Mu went back with the whip, Mu Wanniang was writing and drawing something at the table. She already knew a lot of the characters here, but she still likes to write in simplified characters when she usually writes, and occasionally adds some English words, few people can understand what she wrote.

Xue Mu had seen her writing before, although he felt a little strange, but felt that what she wrote must not be a simple random drawing, but a kind of memory or a way of remembering things. Without asking too much, he began to urge her to start practicing calligraphy.

"I don't want to practice calligraphy today, I will write an extra copy for you tomorrow." Xue Mu usually asked her to practice a few words for him every day, but Mu Wanniang was really busy today, she raised her head and talked to him. When he was talking, he noticed what he was holding in his hand, and asked him: "What are you doing with the whip?" It didn't look like he could use it, but the color and workmanship seemed to be more suitable for a girl's home. Could it be a gift? for her?

Seeing her looking at the whip, he stretched his arm towards her, and Mu Wanniang grabbed his arm and stood up, took the whip and looked at it carefully.

I have to say that the shape of this whip is quite what she likes.

"Give it to me?" Mu Wanniang tried to flick the whip a few times while grabbing his elbow, "Why do I feel that it's not from you?"

Mu Wanniang looked at the bright red color of the whip, and then at Xue Mu who usually only wore black clothes, she felt that it could never be him.

"Well, it's a gift from an old friend."

Mu Wanniang knew it, and it was the same as the chess piece made of jade before. She didn't think she would need the whip very much, but she put it away anyway.

When it was time to go to bed at night, Xue Mu's eyes fell on the whip that was placed on the table and lingered for a while, until Mu Wanniang pulled him to let him go to bed quickly, she will be busy tomorrow.

The candles were also extinguished, the windows that had been blown by the wind were closed tightly, and Mu Wanniang gradually fell asleep, but she suddenly thought of something, turned over and lay directly in Xue Mu's arms. Hugging her, he said hoarsely, "What's wrong?"

Mu Wanniang touched the scar on his face, "I've been wanting to ask you before, why does your scar seem to be getting deeper and deeper, is it getting worse?"

She was a little worried, and her brows frowned.

Xue Mu touched her face and diverted her attention, "No, it's not that I'm sleepy, go to sleep, or do something else."

Mu Wanniang immediately turned over and hugged him, then closed her eyes.

Xue Mu laughed.

The next day Mu Wanniang didn't go to the shop first, she asked Xue Mu to help her take Shitou and Sanwa to guard the shop first, and she had to discuss with Aunt Wang and Uncle Wang about planting cotton.

The land bought from Village Chief Liu was used to grow cotton. No matter whether it failed or succeeded in the end, she always had to try it again. Anyway, there were still a small number of cotton seeds she left behind in her space.

After Xue Mu, who played the role of father, brought Shitou and Sanwa to Wenhai in the shop to start studying, Sanwa pestered him and asked him to take him to find Xiwen.

Now Sanwa likes to play with Xiwen besides playing with her elder brother.

Xue Mu carried him to the kitchen to find Xiwen who was wiping his face.

Aunt Chunwen looked up and saw that it was him, the corners of her mouth were closed immediately.

Xue Mu put Sanwa down directly, and told her: "Take care of the two children."

"Yes." Aunt Chunwen still had a fear of him in her bones. Even though neither of them was bound in the capital now, she could still feel the majesty of the former General Xue.

The general who once killed the enemy and saved the lives of countless children.

Although he has returned to the field, he is still General Xue who has saved countless people.

Xue Mu squatted down and told Sanwa to be careful not to get hurt, and to remember to protect Xiwen who grew up with him. Sanwa nodded obediently, and listened to Little Chest saying that he was a great hero. No one will bully Xiwen.

Xue Mu touched his head, then looked to Xi Wen who was just looking at him, thought for a while, and touched her head lightly.

He got up to leave, not noticing the slight smile on the corner of Xiwen's mouth.

However, Aunt Chunwen saw it, and her eyes were sour. The young lady of her family has always lacked the warmth from her family that she should have had.

It turned out that she was so eager.

Sanwa held Xiwen's hand and wanted to play with her in the yard. As soon as the two children walked to the door of the kitchen, Xiwen suddenly turned to look at Aunt Chunwen and called 'Daddy'.

Aunt Chunwen was stunned.

When she reacted, Sanwa and Xiwen had already gone to the yard, but Aunt Chunwen, who had never cried before, burst into tears of joy.

Her lady has spoken!
This must be Miss's dead wife protecting Miss!
Raising her head again, Aunt Chunwen's eyes were full of light.

After discussing with Aunt Wang and Uncle Wang about planting cotton in Lihua Village, Mu Wanniang didn't go directly to the shop when she arrived in the county, but went to the Manxiang Building first.

She asked Wang Xiaoer to help her see a man who went to the shop to run with Shan Zi, and she got the letter yesterday so she can go see him today.

"I watched this kid grow up before, and I can guarantee his character, but if he does something wrong, you can do what you want, without worrying about my face."

Mu Wanniang immediately saw the young boy named Wang Ergou who looked about the same age as Shanzi.

Wang Ergou grinned with big white teeth, and this first impression was particularly good.

"If this kid makes any mistakes, I'll take care of him." Wang Xiaoer smiled frankly, "I've been here all the time, if you need me, just ask him to come, don't let him idle."

Naturally, Mu Wanniang will not cause any trouble for herself, because she is also an acquaintance, so she also trusts him this time.

She got Wang Ergou's deed of sale, and before she took people to the shop, she gossiped and asked Wang Xiaoer, "Little brother, what about your new shopkeeper after shopkeeper Zhang left?"

The new shopkeeper is also surnamed Zhang, but it is not the same as the previous shopkeeper Zhang.

Wang Xiaoer shook his head, and whispered to her: "This guy doesn't look very reliable, I think I have to find other jobs, or I will be squeezed dry by him!"
