small farm girl in pastoral space

Chapter 12

The matter of finding a husband was finally completed smoothly, and Mu Qiu officially felt relieved.After discussing that they would come to pick up their mother and son three days later, Mu Qiu took Mu Wen and left.

Shopkeeper Wu has been very anxious recently. He has been thinking about the fruits that Mu Qiu sent before for a long time, but he knows that Mu Qiu has a lot of things to do during this time, so he didn't bother him.But now he can't wait any longer, because the person from the capital has sent a letter...

The horse-drawn carriage was driving on the rugged country road, and there were hard-working farmers everywhere on both sides of the road.The countryside in spring is full of flowers, and the birds on the branches sing freely, which does not have the feeling of a paradise.

Shopkeeper Wu had never been to Ping'an Village before, but luckily Da Zhuang drove the car all the way, and the two went straight to Mu Qiu's house.When the car was stable, he got out of the carriage and saw a newly built house with many flowers planted in the front and back of the house, and there was a pear tree sticking out its branches in the yard.

"Shopkeeper, Miss Muqiu's house is beautiful! The last time I came here was your expression!" Da Zhuang laughed, and tied the horse to the thick tree at the door.

surprise!Shopkeeper Wu really did not expect such a yard to exist in the countryside.The door was not closed, and the laughter of children could be vaguely heard from inside.When he walked in, he saw several children gathered around and didn't know what they were doing.

"Mu Wen, Mu Wen, is your sister at home?"

Mu Wen raised his head from the crowd: "Hey! Uncle Wu, are you looking for my sister? My sister has gone to the mountain." After speaking, he ran into the house, shouting, "Mother, Uncle Wu is here!"

Those few children stopped playing around, and stood aside looking at the stranger who suddenly appeared with big eyes.Only then did shopkeeper Wu see clearly that these children were playing with wooden blocks. These wooden blocks were all about the same size and shape, and there seemed to be patterns on them.

"What is this? I've never seen it before." Shopkeeper Wu said to himself, and Li Xianrou hurried out of the room.

"This is shopkeeper Wu, please don't be offended if you come from a long way and get lost in welcome."

"Madam, you are welcome. I came here uninvited." Shopkeeper Wu looked at Mrs. Li. Although she was not dressed luxuriously, she behaved quite politely. She was naturally generous and not effeminate.He thinks he understands why such a peasant woman can teach such an outstanding daughter as Chu Muqiu.

"Wu Mou came to bother me this time mainly to find Muqiu girl. I want to discuss some business with her."

"So that's the case, it should be Mu Qiu who came to visit you, how can I let you come in person." Li Xianrou invited people in and served tea.The tea is flower and fruit tea made by Mu Qiu herself, because she really can't drink the tea here.

"This tea is sweet and clear, and it tastes very fresh."

As soon as shopkeeper Wu finished speaking, Mu Qiu's voice came from the yard: "Mother, I see a carriage parked outside. Is there a visitor here?"

Mrs. Li joked: "This girl looks like she put her eyes on her head at home, and she came back just as she was about to talk."

When Mu Qiu walked in, he saw shopkeeper Wu sitting there: "Huh? Uncle Wu, why are you here?"

"Of course I came to see you."

Seeing that the two of them wanted to talk about something, Mrs. Li stopped interrupting. It was almost noon, so she definitely wanted to keep them for a meal.She turned and went into the kitchen to get to work.

"Uncle Wu, is there not enough vegetables in Tianxiangju? Or something else happened?"

"No, it has nothing to do with cooking when I came to see you today." Mu Qiu expressed doubts, why not for cooking?
"Girl Mu Qiu, do you still remember the box of vegetables you gave me at the beginning of the year?" Seeing Mu Qiu nodded, he continued, "Actually, the important thing is not the vegetables, but the things under the bamboo basket."

"You mean those fruits!" Mu Qiu suddenly realized.At that time, she couldn't find anything valuable to return the gift, so she took some fruits out of the space, but she didn't expect shopkeeper Wu to miss it so much.

"Exactly! Girl Muqiu, I want to ask where all those fruits of yours come from?"

"Oh, those... I actually picked them on the mountain."

Shopkeeper Wu was very surprised: "I picked it from the mountain? Which mountain?"

Mu Qiu thought for a while: "It's the one behind our house. I picked those fruits back then because they were delicious. By the way, after our family bought the land this year, I transplanted those trees from the mountain. It’s in my field.” In fact, it was transplanted from the space!After all, planting fruit trees can’t be started by sowing seeds, because the growth rate of the trees is too slow, and the change is too big after watering the space, so Mu Qiu let those fruit trees grow in the space in advance, and then just find an excuse to transplant them out.

Hearing what she said, shopkeeper Wu immediately became interested: "Then can you take me to have a look?"

"of course can!"

Mu Qiu took shopkeeper Wu to visit his place.Luscious green vegetables, fruit trees of various colors in full bloom, and seasoning plants unknown to outsiders.Shopkeeper Wu's eyes were wide open after the visit, and he repeatedly praised: "You are such an amazing girl!"
