"Dad, what do you think this is?"
Mu Shuangshuang suspected she heard wrong. Isn’t this stuff ant to cause diarrhea?
How could Old Mrs. Mu be foolish enough to give everyone this kind of thing?
If among these people there’s Mu Dade, Old Mrs. Mu is even less likely to do this.
"That’s right, I’ve seen it. Croton seeds ground into powder look like this," Mu Dashan said firmly.
With that, Mu Shuangshuang was even more confused.
"Could it be that my grandma intended to target soone specific but accidentally hard the whole family?"
"It’s possible. Your grandma would never harm your big brother and Xiangxiang."
Before Mu Dashan ca in, he overheard so people talking outside the kitchen and roughly understood the situation.
"That must be it then. Uncle Four, Aunt Four, you should pretend you don’t know about this! So that Grandma won’t bla you for this later on. Over the next few days, try to eat light and rest well."
By the ti Mu Shuangshuang went to Zhang Huai Shu’s house to get dicine, it was already dark. After this long conversation, it was even darker, so dark you couldn’t see your fingers.
The people of the fourth branch knew it was ti to go back, and hurriedly said goodbye to the third branch, then left!
Mu Shuangshuang cleaned the cups they had used, seeing Mu Dashan still there, looking as if he was waiting for her.
Mu Shuangshuang’s expression softened.
"Dad, do you have sothing to say?"
Mu Dashan gently nodded.
"I just had a dream, dread your big uncle didn’t pass the exam, took the family’s money and ran away, and I also dread the Old Mu Family ended up badly..."
Mu Dashan spoke with so lingering fear.
"Dad, dreams are the opposite of reality. My big uncle, in matters like whether he passed the exam or not, wouldn’t lie."
On this point, Mu Shuangshuang was absolutely certain, regardless of whether Mu Dade’s docunt had arrived!
Because Mu Shuangshuang felt it would be pointless for Mu Dade to tell such a huge lie; even if he didn’t pass, Mr. Mu would still arrange for him to take the exam again in three years.
As for the Old Mu Family’s terrible end, that seed a likely reality.
Mu Dade’s nature, sooner or later, would lead to ruin. If he spent his life like this taking exams, he might just spend so money, but if he entered officialdom, he might lose his life.
However, considering Old Mrs. Mu and Mr. Mu are Mu Dashan’s parents, Mu Shuangshuang couldn’t speak too harshly.
"Dad, Grandpa and Grandma are old now, it’s ti for them to enjoy life with Big Uncle; nothing will happen, don’t scare yourself."
Only then did Mu Dashan smile.
This man, although strong now, still had a good heart and didn’t wish for the Old Mu Family to decline.
"Dad, it’s late, go rest, keep warm at night!"
Mu Shuangshuang gave a bunch of reminders and then returned to her room.
The Old Mu Family fussed throughout the night.
By the next morning, everyone was exhausted, and finally got so rest.
As dawn broke, Mu Shuangshuang got up to prepare breakfast; today was the day to dig irrigation channels in the fields, it couldn’t be done carelessly.
In the morning, Mu Shuangshuang made a pot of noodles, cooked three eggs, and prepared a dish of pickled cucumbers, and breakfast was ready.
After eating breakfast, she took a bamboo basket and, carrying a hoe, went to find Lu Yuanfeng.
Upon reaching his house, she found out Lu Yuanfeng had already gone to the fields. Yuanbao was still sleepy, looking like he hadn’t fully woken up. Mu Shuangshuang told Yuanbao to co to her house later for breakfast, and quickly carrying the hoe went to find Lu Yuanfeng.
Lu Yuanfeng had already dug a moat for an acre and started the second one.
It wasn’t clear when he arrived, but they were pretty early; not a single soul was working on the field banks yet.
The two looked at each other, feeling they had both gotten up too early.
"Did you skip breakfast again and co straight to work?" Mu Shuangshuang asked.
Lu Yuanfeng’s face reddened, silent for a while.
Then he explained, "I planned to just co and take a look, then did so work. I thought of going back after that."
"By the ti you’ve finished work, you could have dinner. Why don’t you care for your health? Skipping breakfast is harmful, get up here, I’ve brought you breakfast."
Mu Shuangshuang knew Lu Yuanfeng too well; once he gets busy, he forgets about als.
With the army camp, als were supplied regularly. Now, without reminders, it’s often feast or famine.
Lu Yuanfeng put down the hoe and climbed up the ridge.
After washing his hands, Mu Shuangshuang took out a large bowl of noodles from the bamboo basket.
Noodles fill you up in cold weather, but if left too long they tend to clump together.
When Mu Shuangshuang brought out the noodles, they were already clumped, causing her frustration.
"I should have made you dry noodles. Soupy noodles don’t last long!"
Lu Yuanfeng smiled and took the noodles.
"No, as long as Shuangshuang makes it, it’s delicious. Did you eat, Shuangshuang?"
Before eating, Lu Yuanfeng rembered to care for Mu Shuangshuang.
"Of course, unlike so fools who don’t even care for their own stomach!"
Mu Shuangshuang rolled her eyes exaggeratedly, blaming Lu Yuanfeng for neglecting his health.
Lu Yuanfeng laughed, "Anyway, Shuangshuang cares!"
"Wishful thinking, I won’t care for you!" Mu Shuangshuang turned her head, stubbornly replied.
"Really not caring?" Lu Yuanfeng asked.
"Of course not..." Mu Shuangshuang pretended to be stern, seeing his disappointed look, she changed her tone, "Fool! If I didn’t care, would I co here to bring you food?"
