Chapter 56 Xue Ning looked at Mu Chenghe aggrievedly and said, "Why did you come here!"
Muyu was convinced of his brother's words, put down the pen in his hand, and ran to the next door.
After a while, Muyu ran back, holding a bowl with less than half a bowl of salt in his hand.
"Brother, Yan, I have set up the kitchen for you." Mu Yu entered the kitchen, but did not come out immediately. He rummaged through the boxes and cabinets in the kitchen.
Muchenghe walked over and stood at the door of the kitchen and asked, "What are you doing?"
Muyu was currently stepping on the stool, opening the higher cabinet door and rummaging inside.
"Brother, do we have brown sugar at home?"
"No, what on earth do you want to do?"
Mu Yu jumped down from the stool in disappointment, "Sister, she has a stomachache and feels very uncomfortable. The last time I saw my teacher had a stomachache, he drank brown sugar water, so I wanted to get her some brown sugar water."
Mu Chenghe felt nervous and asked, "What is she doing now?"
"Just lying on the bed."
Mu Chenghe's face darkened, his expression solemn, he looked at Mu Yu and said, "You go do your homework! We don't have brown sugar at home. I'll go to someone else's house later to get some."
When Mu Yu learned that Mu Chenghe was going to take care of Xue Ning, he felt relieved and prepared to do his homework.
As soon as he reached the door, Mu Chenghe stopped him again, "Muyu, I'll prepare the meal later. You and dad will eat and then go to bed. Leave me alone, let alone tell dad what I'm going to do. Do you understand?"
Mu Yu glanced at Mu Chenghe strangely, but knowing that his brother was always reliable, he didn't ask any more questions.
"knew."
After Mu Yu left, Mu Chenghe went into the kitchen and washed rice neatly for cooking. He also made white rice porridge, which they did not often eat.
When the porridge in the pot was almost done, Muchenghe took 5 kilograms of flour from home and prepared to collect it from home in exchange for brown sugar.
In this era, brown sugar was a precious commodity, and most people couldn't afford it.
Not many people in the village can always keep brown sugar at home.
Mu Chenghe took the flour and prepared to go to Grandma Liu's house to ask.
Grandma Liu is kind and kind-hearted, and she treats Mu Chenghe well, many times better than her own grandmother.
Besides, Grandma Liu is an old revolutionary. She did glorious things for the country when she was young. Now that she is old, she gets a monthly pension and lives a very good life.
She should have things like brown sugar at home.
Mu Chenghe arrived at Grandma Liu's house and explained that she wanted to exchange for brown sugar. Grandma Liu apologized, "Oh, what a coincidence, I don't have any brown sugar here."
Mu Chenghe said, "It's okay, grandma, I'll go check out another house."
Grandma Liu stopped Mu Chenghe who was about to leave, "Chenghe, what do you want brown sugar for?"
"Oh, it's a bit urgent." Mu Chenghe didn't say much.
Grandma Liu didn't ask much, "Then go quickly, don't delay, it's almost dark."
"Okay, then I'm leaving."
Muchenghe came out of Grandma Liu's place, thought for a while, and finally went to the captain's house.
At present, it seems that the only ones who can have brown sugar at home are the village chief and the captain's family.
The brown sugar from the village chief's house probably wouldn't be exchanged for him, so he would have to go to the captain's house.
When we arrived at the captain's house, he happened to be smoking in the yard.
Muchenghe once again explained his purpose of coming.
"You want brown sugar? I have some at home. How much do you want?"
Mu Chenghe handed the 5 kilograms of flour in his hand to the captain, "Here are 5 kilograms of flour, I'll exchange it for 1 kilogram of brown sugar."
The current market situation is that a pound of flour costs 2 cents and a pound of brown sugar costs one yuan. 5 pounds of flour can be exchanged for 1 pound of brown sugar.
The captain took the flour and generously gave Muchenghe a pound of brown sugar.
When Muchenghe got the brown sugar, he didn't rush home. Instead, he waited until dark in the village and all the people who were eating and chatting outside went home, and then he touched it back in the dark.
At home, Mu Yu and Mu's father had already eaten and gone to bed.
Muchenghe went to the kitchen, and there was a bowl of rice porridge left for him in the pot.
The man took a big bowl and poured out all the white rice porridge, then took the porridge and brown sugar to the next door.
The lights next door were dark and the kerosene lamp was not even lit.
Mu Chenghe walked to the door and knocked nervously, "Dong dong dong, Xue Ning, are you asleep?"
After waiting for a long time, there was finally movement in the room.
The originally dark room turned on, and there were footsteps in the room. After a while, the door opened, and Xue Ning's face was pale, her body was slightly bent, and her expression was very painful.
His small face was wrinkled together, looking extremely weak. Even standing up seemed to be very difficult.
The moment Xue Ning saw it was Mu Chenghe, his mind and body became even more fragile, and he said aggrievedly, "Why did you come here!"
In this way, it is obvious that he treats Mu Chenghe as the closest person and is acting coquettishly.
Muchenghe's body felt like an electric current was flowing through him, and he instantly became numb and numb. This feeling was very strange.
He couldn't say how to describe it, he just felt warm and itchy in his heart.
It was like ants crawling on my heart, and my whole heart was trembling.
The man pretended to be calm and tried to keep his tone gentle, "Does your stomach still hurt?"
Xue Ning frowned and nodded, "It hurts."
Mu Chenghe handed the thing in his hand to Xue Ning and said, "I cooked some white porridge, it's still warm. You eat some first, and there's also this brown sugar. You can mix it with water and drink it later. It won't hurt anymore."
"
He was standing at the door talking, with no intention of going in.
Xue Ning was unhappy. How could she stand at the door and not come in when she was in such a miserable state? It would be nice to come in and talk to her at least!
The girl puffed up her cheeks and continued to act coquettishly, "Come in and help me make the brown sugar water."
Mu Chenghe's throat tightened, and he felt uncomfortable all over. I like the group favorite of the era, Xiao Jiaojiao makes the rough guy's heart tremble. Please collect: (https://www.bajiewx.com) The group favorite of the era, Xiao Jiaojiao makes the rough guy's heart tremble.
