NOVEL NEXT Chapter 16 The twins surrender
It has to be said that after hearing Gu Yang's words, Mu Jiu felt agitated in her heart.
She hated the mistress, but the authenticity of this matter was indeed open to question. Chen Xiao was the one who had the absolute initiative.
The revelation that day shifted everyone's attention so well that even Mu Jiu felt strange.
But after the housekeeper broke the news, the woman didn't even dare to fart. She thought it was true, but it turned out there was another reason!
However, the vested interest in this matter is Chen Xiao, the steward department.
It's hard to judge.
The two sides are talking to each other, and outsiders can't tell the truth from the lies, but does this matter have anything to do with her?
From Gu Yang's words, she could understand that the woman chose to sacrifice her body to stabilize the housekeeper Chen Xiao and not harm her children.
As a mother of two children, that woman is undoubtedly qualified. She protects her two children very well.
The pair of twins in front of her were so good-looking that both men and women had the same looks. Mu Jiu couldn't help but light up just looking at them.
With this look, without any means of self-protection, he would be a walking target in the last days, the target of being kidnapped and bullied in minutes.
So now they come to her, obviously to exchange eggs for their mother, but secretly to surrender.
They hope to help Mu Jiu do things and get Mu Jiu's protection. This may be their mother's idea.
But Mu Jiu didn't like the feeling of being taken advantage of.
"I can give you eggs this time, but don't come here anymore. I don't need firewood." Mu Jiu said straightforwardly.
Gu Yang hesitated to speak, "Sister, I..."
"You wait here, I will go to the backyard to get you eggs."
Mu Jiu walked towards the backyard and came back with four eggs in his hand. He opened the door and handed them to Gu Yang outside.
Seeing the four eggs, Gu Yang's eyes lit up, like lights lighting up in the dark night, and he said thank you several times in succession!
Mu Jiu waved her hands and said smoothly: "Don't pick up those branches in the future, they will be worse without burning.
If you really don’t have anything to eat, you can go to the mountains to have a look.
You can rely on the mountains and eat the mountains. There are still many resources in the mountains that can help people survive. "
After saying that, without waiting for the two people outside to reply, he closed the door and turned around to see the guests off.
She didn't want to cause trouble for herself, but a little honest advice wouldn't hurt.
I thought this matter was over and there would be no more intersections in the future.
But who knew, the brother and sister would come again the next day.
But this time they didn’t come to exchange eggs, and they didn’t bring firewood. Instead, they only came with a big black backpack.
They stood at the door, rang the doorbell, and waited for Mu Jiu to come out of the house. Before the door opened, Gu Yang opened the backpack behind him and showed it to her.
"Sister, we listened to your words and went to the mountains to find supplies. This is wild chestnut!
We picked a lot, and this pack is for you. Thank you for telling us about the things on the mountain! "
Without giving Mu Jiu a chance to refuse, Gu Yang placed the backpack in front of Mu Jiu's door, and the two ran away together.
Although the two of them moved very quickly, Mu Jiu noticed with sharp eyes that both of them had suffered considerable injuries on their hands.
After all, wild chestnuts are not that easy to pick.
After the two of them ran away, Mu Jiu opened the door and took the backpack into the house.
A backpack full of wild chestnuts, as heavy as a big stone, with the thorny outer skin removed, and each piece is plump.
This was the only rare situation since her rebirth that someone reciprocated and took the initiative to send her supplies.
Mu Jiu didn't show any pretense, since it was delivered to her door, let's eat it.
It just so happens that there is no such thing in the stockings before the end of the world, so it can be considered an appetizer.
She spent some time and searched for delicious chestnut recipes in the network disk resource library she had downloaded before.
Finally decided to make sugar-fried chestnuts.
I spent two whole days studying the recipe, and finally had soft, glutinous and sweet sugar-roasted chestnuts on the second night!
As a result, on the third day, the two brothers and sisters came again...
This time I brought wild bayberries that were frozen into ice on the mountain! They were bright red, each one like a marble, and frozen to the bone.
They wanted to put down their things and run away, but this time Mu Jiu opened the door and stopped them.
"Hey, come back!"
Mu Jiu waved the two of them over, and then handed each of them a small brown paper bag.
"These are the wild chestnuts you picked two days ago. I made sugar-roasted chestnuts. You can try them too."
The brother and sister received the hot paper bag, their eye circles instantly turned red, "Thank you, sister!"
After the two left, Mu Jiu carried the big bag of wild bayberry into the yard and began to study how to make it...
In the next month, the brother and sister would bring food to Mu Jiu almost every day.
But they only gave her things unilaterally, and didn't mention the exchange of supplies.
The items delivered were heavy in weight and of many types. They were all materials collected from the mountains.
There are wild walnuts, wild kiwis, wild yams, cat poop melons, wild dates, wild pears, wild persimmons, and various unknown wild mushrooms growing beside the hot springs, etc.
Mu Jiu naturally understood the intention.
But compared to the previous use of their mother's affairs to beg her for mercy, she appreciates this self-reliance and hard-working way of surrender!
So when they gave Mu Jiu something, Mu Jiu would also give the two of them new varieties to taste from time to time.
For example, bayberry glutinous rice balls, walnut cakes, yam cakes, etc.
The Gu brothers and sisters are children with a sense of proportion.
They would squat outside the gate of Mu Jiu's house with a small hot bowl, finish eating, and then return the bowl or plate to Mu Jiu.
He didn't take the initiative to ask for more, and he never asked to step through the door of Mu Jiu's family.
This made Mu Jiu's favorability towards the two gradually increase.
In fact, during the more than a month that the Gu brothers and sisters had been visiting frequently, people from other villas would knock on the door from time to time.
They think everyone from the Gu family can come, which shows that the people living in Building 050 are not some scourge.
But these people's demands are outrageous.
Those who wanted to borrow food in vain were promised that they would pay back the amount even after the extreme cold.
Some were too scared and expressed their willingness to give all the food and supplies left at home to Mu Jiu, and wanted to move into her house and seek shelter.
There is even a plan to entrust the family's children to her and ask her to help give him a child... and so on.
Mu Jiu didn't even bother to look at him and refused without mercy.
In comparison, the Gu family brother and sister seemed much more lovable.
The day is still going on, and most of the flowers planted in Mu Jiu's front yard have bloomed. Under the circulating air of the fireplace and heater, the whole house is filled with the refreshing fragrance of flowers.
The chickens and ducks in the backyard, under her careful care, have hatched their third batch of chicks and ducks.
Now the number of chickens and ducks has doubled, and there are dozens of chickens and ducks eggs in the yard every day, which is a very impressive number.
Not to mention the millions of chickens, ducks, cattle, sheep, and pigs raised by Butler Beibei in the space farm!
In short, the foodie’s happiness index has doubled!
Although she stayed at home and did not go out, she knew exactly what was going on outside.
On the one hand, there are the Gu family brothers and sisters who come here every day to deliver specialties from the mountains, and they often talk to her about the situation outside.
On the other hand, the portal in space can see anything within one kilometer of the surrounding area.
As long as she wants to, she can know the specific details clearly.
As time passes, it has now been four months since the end of the world began.
Even for villas with sufficient supplies, food is beginning to be on the verge of being exhausted, and more and more people are unable to pay for it.
But there was no movement at all outside the resort. All we could see was the snow piled higher and higher, slowly surpassing the gatehouse on the road, and forming a snow-capped mountain plateau about ten meters high.
As a result, the people in the housekeeping department acted more and more arrogantly without any scruples.
Everyone knows that the world is in complete chaos.
