The chopsticks had already been put down in the main room, but the children outside were still eating, and they couldn't go out right away, so everyone had to chat.

It just so happened that the autumn harvest had just come to an end, and everyone was talking about this year's harvest and next year's sowing.

As soon as Mu Yangling came in, Liu He and Liu Daqian, who were facing the door, saw it.

Liu He waved at her and said with a smile, "A Ling is here? Come to Uncle."

Mu Yangling smiled slightly, walked over, and saluted, "Hello, uncles, cousins."

Liu He laughed loudly, "You kid is still so polite, you came back from the town? Where's your father? Did you come back from the county?"

"I'm back. He's at home. I'll accompany my brother to play."

Liu He knew that Mu Shi didn't care about this matter at all and only let his daughter handle it. He knew that Mu Shi loved his daughter, but he didn't expect to let Mu Yangling be so indulgent.

Liu He breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Mu Yangling: "My good boy, I know that it is a good intention for you to bring your cousins ​​into the mountains, but we are peasants, and the most important thing is to cultivate the land, so they will not follow you in the future." It’s a mountain, work at home.”

"I know what my uncles are worried about. It's nothing more than fear that other people in the village will come to my house. I really want to thank my uncle for thinking about our Mu family. I didn't think about it before, but I still want to take everyone into the house. Mountain."

Mu Yangling said: "Recently, there are more and more rabbits in the mountains, and now there are more and more trends. I used to go to the east after hunting in the west, and then slowly go east. Move, and come back in about two months, so that I don’t have to worry about the prey being hunted in one place and reducing too much, but in the past half a month, I have hardly changed places, and they are all in the west. A hare that can carry a basket on its back."

Liu He and Liu Daqian looked at each other and said solemnly, "You mean there are a lot of wild rabbits in the mountains?"

Mu Yangling nodded, "It's almost a disaster. If you don't catch more in autumn, after winter, I'm afraid it will harm the crops grown in the village."

They have never seen rabbits in the mountains harm crops in the fields, but Liu He has heard that those rabbits can dig out the roots to eat when they are hungry, which is not less harmful than voles.

"That's why I took my four cousins ​​into the mountain. Since other people in the village have opinions, why don't uncles divide the forty-seven households into five teams, and send one team to follow me into the mountain every day, and the team that kills the prey?" people, but I also have a request."

As soon as these words came out, there was no sound in the main room. Liu Daqian looked at Mu Yangling anxiously, but everyone else looked at her with piercing eyes.

Liu He Weiwei sat up straight, "Say it."

"I brought them into the mountain because I felt sorry for those children, and everyone knows that my Mu family relies on hunting for a living, so the prey you hunt are not allowed to be taken to the town and Mingshui County If you sell it, you can only keep it for your own family, if you want to sell it, you have to go out of Qili Township and Mingshui County."

Liu He pondered for a while, and said: "You are still a child, so you have to tell your father about this matter..."

Mu Yangling shook his head, "I can make the decision on this matter, uncle can just rest assured."

Liu Daqian interjected: "Then we can't take advantage of you for nothing, son, how about sharing half of the prey that enters the mountain with you?"

Mu Yangling pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Uncle, there are plenty of prey collected in the town and the county. I can't sell them if I want so much. My mother is pregnant now, and making dried meat will smoke her. "Mu Yangling thought for a while and said: "How about this, each family will give me half of the peeled rabbit skin every day, how about it?"

She doesn't want the rabbit meat anymore, but the rabbit skin can be sold. When the tanning is finished, the old lady will make leather clothes, gloves and hats for them, so that they can have a warm winter.

For such a small request, Liu and the others naturally agreed.

Mu Yangling got up and said, "Take out my Biao Ting and Uncle Yuan Biao separately, so there will be forty-five households, each team has nine people, and then count the two of them in, and each time they are two Everyone in the village obeys their arrangements, and I am only responsible for taking them in and teaching them how to set traps and hunt, and leave the management of people to my two cousins.”

That means that Liu Ting and Liu Yuan can follow the team every time, and they can get prey every time. Everyone knows that she is taking care of her two uncles. There is a difference between closeness and closeness. No one has any objections. Everyone nods. Down.

Mu Yangling said again: "Widow Liu's family has no grown-up males. When it's her turn, her prey comes from my two cousins."

In the whole village, only Widow Liu is the head of the household who is only five years old. Widow Liu cannot follow her into the mountain, and things come out from Liu Ting and Liu Garden, so everyone has no objections.

The people who came to the Liu family did not expect such a surprise. Even if they were teased by Liu Ting, it didn't affect their good mood. Everyone looked at Mu Yangling with relief, and felt that it was the Mu family who had a kind heart. .

Seeing that the matter was finished, Mu Yangling got up and said: "Then uncles, let's arrange it, we will not enter the mountain until the day after tomorrow." After a pause, he pretended to be unintentional and said: "By the way, how is the matter with the great aunt? Entering the mountain Will it delay the matter of the great aunt?"

"No, no," Liu He promised: "In a few days, I will take your uncle to Xishan Village to see your aunt, and I will go to the village chief to say hello."

Liu Daqian's eyes lit up. Liu He is not only the village head of Linshan Village, but also the patriarch of the Liu family. If he can be invited to come over, it will be of great importance. Besides, Liu He can also invite the head of the village.

Mu Yangling didn't expect such a surprise, and the smile on his face was more sincere, "Then wait for you to divide into teams, and wait for me at the foot of the mountain the day after tomorrow. I'll go back and talk to my father."

"Okay, okay, you go back, I'll do the statistics today, and I can divide them up tomorrow, and let your two cousins ​​take people there early in the morning." Liu He got up and sent Mu Yangling out in person.

Fang Liu listened to the general idea in the kitchen, saw Mu Yangling rushing out, hurriedly ran over and said: "Ah Ling, you make up your two cousins, why don't you make up your cousin too, let them three Let’s help you lead the team together.”

Mu Yangling snorted: "I don't like Uncle Zhuzi, so little aunt doesn't need to say more." Anyway, she is only a nine-year-old child, so what if she can be self-willed?

Liu He also shouted: "Mr. Fang Liu, there is no place for you to talk here, let me out."

Fang Liu blushed, and was about to say something when Mu Yangling said, "My father is back and is waiting for me at home. If little aunt is unhappy, you can come to my house and talk to my father."

How dare Fang Liushi? He could only suppress his temper and watch Mu Yangling drag Xiao Bowen away.

Little Bowen walked forward bouncingly, and said, "Sister, Daddy said that he will send me to school in the spring of next year."

"Then I get up every morning and carry you on my back, okay?"

"I don't want it," Xiao Bowen said arrogantly, "I can walk by myself."

Mu Yangling patted his head, "I'm going to school next year, so you have to learn a few more words, so that you won't be overtaken when you go to school."

Xiao Bowen suddenly said with pride: "No problem, I will definitely take the first place in the exam."

Mu Yangling took his younger brother's hand back home, and Mu Shi was sitting in the yard waiting for her, "You're back? Come here and tell Dad what trouble you got into again?"

Mu Yangling squatted in front of his father, and Xiao Bowen followed suit, squatting with his sister with his chin staggeringly propped up. Mu Shi looked at the big and small in front of him, and the anger in his heart suddenly disappeared.
