Chapter 203 The new house is under construction
Zhu shook her head helplessly and asked Mu Pingping and others to move all the things to the kitchen.
She instructed, "Put it all away, understand?"
Fortunately, I borrowed the village chief's ox cart today to go to town to sell steamed cakes, otherwise I wouldn't have come back so soon.
Mu Pingping said clearly, "Grandma, don't worry, we will be careful."
He called his younger brothers to move the various things piled on the floor to the kitchen and put them away.
The children were all used to doing this kind of thing and were very efficient in doing it.
But Mu Baobao picked up two wild fruits and ate them. They were so sour that her face wrinkled.
"very sour!"
She kept swallowing to try to ease the sour taste in her mouth.
Zhu took the wild fruit from her hand and tasted it. "It's quite sour."
She pondered for a moment and said, "If I pickle this sour fruit, I'm sure someone will buy it."
Mu Baobao was stunned, with countless question marks popping up in his head, "Milk, how could anyone buy something so sour?"
Zhu smiled and explained, "Baby, in the middle of winter, many people lose their appetite. Eating something sour will help."
"But where can I find something sour in the middle of winter?"
"Some pregnant women like to eat something sour when they are carrying a child, so this thing is very good for them."
Mubaobao never has a poor appetite, only when she doesn’t eat enough, so she cannot understand people with a poor appetite.
"Grandma, how about we get some more wild fruits to sell?"
Zhu said, "No, just a few will do."
At this point, she remembered something, "I just made some nests for the little animals to take back home."
After saying that, she hurried to the main room.
Baby Mu stroked the black bear's soft fur and said with a smile, "My grandma made a lot of warm dens for them."
"That's right, Black Bear, you're too big. There's no den suitable for you."
Black bears don't need nests either. They have comfortable caves where they sleep in the winter and don't wake up until the spring of the following year.
This is the last time it goes down the mountain, and it will hibernate when it returns.
Baby Mu touched the black bear's soft belly again. The black bear had such a big and soft belly. It felt so comfortable to touch.
"I brought it." Zhu came back quickly.
She holds over twenty litters.
This is a nest that looks like a chicken coop.
In fact, this is woven and then cotton is placed inside, and then it is sewn up with relatively waterproof material, which has a certain warmth-keeping effect.
"You try it."
Zhu placed a few nests on the ground and asked the animals to try them out, "so I can see if there's anything I can improve."
The cotton here is all old cotton, and the new cotton is used to make quilts and clothes.
The little squirrel jumped into the nest.
Its big, fluffy tail is draped over its head, and its whole body is curled up in its nest, making it look like a furry ball.
It turned around in the nest a few times and found space to move around, then it squeaked at the wooden baby.
The other animals also expressed their opinions after trying it.
Mu Baobao relayed this to Zhu: "Grandma, the little animals are quite satisfied."
"However, when they bring their nests back home, they put something on top of them, saying it will be warmer and more comfortable."
She was very confused, "Grandma, why do the little animals put things on top of their nests?"
Zhu pinched her face and explained, "Animals all have the habit of making their own nests."
"Just like we humans make our own beds."
Mu Baobao probably understood, "So that's how it is."
The little animals got their satisfactory nests, thanked Mu Baobao and Zhu happily, and then returned to the mountains with the black bear.
Just then, some villagers came to see Zhu.
It was to help the Mu family build a new house and have work to do.
main room.
Zhu held the wooden baby in her arms and greeted the villagers with a smile: "I understand what you mean."
"There are two things I look for in people: hardworking and down-to-earth, and not scheming."
At this point, her face turned cold. "I don't want to recruit someone who is sneaky and cunning, lest something happen."
Several people looked at each other. Everyone in the village knew that they would have a good life if they followed the Mu family.
"That's right. Building a new house is no different from any other. You have to find someone who's down-to-earth and willing to work, without any ulterior motives."
"Mu family, don't worry, my family is absolutely down-to-earth and hardworking, and we won't have any ulterior motives."
Zhu's face smiled again, "By the way, one more thing, I won't offend anyone who has a grudge against my baby."
"Those who look down on my baby, don't even think about working in my house."
But she knew very well that there were some people in the village who looked down on Bao Bao and spoke ill of her behind her back.
Even if she was short of people, she would not hire such people.
When the Mu family started building the new house, some people in the village felt regretful and annoyed. They wished they had not said bad things about Mu Baobao, and some were annoyed that the Mu family was making a fuss out of nothing.
Nowadays, every family has some little thoughts, all for the good of the family.
Where the Mu family was building their new house, besides the Mu family members and the people working on the project, there was a large crowd of people watching.
Now the autumn harvest is basically completed, and all that is left is to dry the rice, so many people have some free time.
The villagers watched with envy.
"The Mu family's life is getting better and better. Look, they're even building a new house now."
"In my opinion, the Mu family's good days are still to come. I heard that the Mu family is selling steamed cakes in town again, and business is pretty good."
"I've also heard that there are a lot of people buying steamed cakes. Combined with the Mu family's barbecue and soup medicine business, the Mu family makes a lot of money every month."
"Don't you see how much money the Mu family spends every month? I heard from Boss Mu that last month his family spent several taels of silver just on pens, ink, paper, and inkstone, not counting their daily expenses."
"Hiss! Is going to school so expensive?"
"The Mu family has many children, so the expenses are naturally high. Tao Yeye and his family don't spend that much."
The Mu family and others were working hard.
You have to get a homestead first before you can do the next thing.
The Mu family wanted to make the homestead more solid so that the two-story building would be more stable.
"Thank you all for your hard work." Zhu came over with a bucket of hot water.
Qian and Wang followed behind, each holding a stack of bowls.
Zhu scooped hot water for the workers and said with a smile, "Eat lunch at my house today. I've made a big piece of fatty meat. As much as you can eat!"
When they heard that there was plenty of fat meat to be had, everyone, whether they were working or just watching, swallowed their saliva at the same time.
"Gudong!"
My God, that’s a lot of fat meat, and there’s plenty of it. The Mu family is really living a good life.
"I wonder if the Mu family is still hiring. It doesn't matter if the wages are a little low, as long as the food is provided."
"I guess they're not hiring anymore. The Mu family is only looking for hardworking people who don't have any ulterior motives. They don't want anyone with even a little ulterior motive."
News of the Mu family's lavish spending quickly spread throughout the village.
The villagers couldn't get work from Zhu, so they turned to Mu Baobao.
It’s better to let your own children come to find Mu Baobao.
