Mu Xue and Mu Xue

"Ah, stay for dinner? No, no, my mother and father are still waiting for me to go back home to cook!" Carpenter Chen said hurriedly while wiping the fine sweat from his forehead, but he did not stop the work in his hands at all.

That focused look on his face, as if the work in his hands was more important than anything else.

"Okay then, in a few days when the new vegetables are ripe, I will send some to you as compensation for not treating you to a meal this time. Don't worry, I will give you the money as usual." Lin Mo said sincerely to Carpenter Chen, his eyes full of gratitude and sincerity.

"Oh, why would I care about money? It's not easy for you two kids to live together. You are so kind-hearted to give others such rare vegetables. How can we bear to eat and drink for free in your house?" Carpenter Chen waved his hands repeatedly with a simple smile on his face. His simple words were full of love for Lin Mo and Mu Xue.

"Okay then." Seeing Carpenter Chen's resolute expression, Lin Mo had no choice but to give up. But in his heart, he secretly thought that he must find an opportunity to thank Carpenter Chen in the future.

"Xue'er, you play here first. I'll go cook. Remember to pay Carpenter Chen when he leaves!" Lin Mo worriedly reminded Mu Xue before leaving, his eyes full of care.

"I know! Brother, hurry up, I'm starving!" Mu Xue said in a sweet and naive tone. Her cute look made people laugh.

"Little foodie, just wait, it will be ready soon. You can eat it in a quarter of an hour!" Lin Mo said lovingly, and then walked quickly to the kitchen.

"Yes, okay, brother!" Mu Xue jumped up happily, her cheerful figure like a lively little bird.

Carpenter Chen was almost done with his work, and all that was left was to hammer everything into the ground. He skillfully picked up his tools and hammered them again and again, the crisp sound echoing in the air.

After a while, Carpenter Chen finished everything. He stood up and looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction, a pleased smile on his face.

"Carpenter Chen, how much is it this time? I'll give it to you straight away! Oh, and here are some more." Mu Xue said as she took out some leftover vegetables from her storage necklace. The vegetables were fresh and tender, emitting an alluring luster.

"Uh... this is not good!" Carpenter Chen quickly put his hands in front of Mu Xue, just in time to block the vegetables Mu Xue was holding. He had an embarrassed look on his face, as if he was unwilling to accept Mu Xue's kindness.

"Oh, it's okay. I'll give you money. Just tell me how much!" Mu Xue insisted, her eyes full of sincerity. Her bright eyes seemed to sparkle with bright stars, making it impossible to refuse her kindness.

Carpenter Chen felt that if he didn't accept the money, he might not be able to leave the house, so he just said a random number: "10 copper coins."

Carpenter Chen said helplessly. There was a hint of hesitation in his voice, as if he felt that the price was a bit low, but he didn't want Muxue to spend too much.

"Ten? Aren't ten too few? How about I give you ten more?" Mu Xue frowned slightly and said seriously.

Her eyes were full of concern, as if she felt that the price was not enough to reward Carpenter Chen for his hard work.

"Uh... ten, just ten, no more." Carpenter Chen put the tools in his hand into the storage ring and said while holding up ten fingers with both hands.

He moved a little hastily, as if he wanted to end the argument about price as quickly as possible.

"Okay then," Mu Xue said, pulling out ten copper coins from her interspatial necklace and giving them to Carpenter Chen. Her movements were gentle and swift, as if she was afraid Carpenter Chen would refuse. Then she quickly ran to the door, blocking Carpenter Chen's path.

"Take these vegetables home to feed Grandpa and Grandma, or I won't let you go!" Mu Xue said seriously. Her eyes revealed a firm determination that made it impossible to ignore her request.

Carpenter Chen's mouth twitched. It was unfair to say what Mu Xue had done. The food was for her parents, but she was being kind. She had forced him to accept it and wouldn't let him leave! He was filled with helplessness and emotion. He felt helpless at Mu Xue's stubbornness, but was moved by her kindness and sincerity.

"Okay, okay, I compromise. I'll accept these vegetables." Carpenter Chen finally compromised. He didn't expect Mu Xue's move.

There was a hint of doting in his voice, as if he was talking to a naughty child. "Can you please make way now? I need to go home and cook for my mom."

After Mu Xue saw him accept the vegetables, she left the door and let Carpenter Chen go out. A satisfied smile appeared on her face, as if she had completed an important task.

At this time, Lin Mo's voice came from the kitchen in the distance: "The meal is ready, Xueer, come and eat! Linglong, come and eat too!" The voice was full of warmth and expectation, which made people feel longing.

Linglong, who was sleeping soundly in the room, seemed to hear the call and there was a sudden sound of tossing and turning in the room, "Hua La Hua La." The sound seemed to be Linglong responding to Lin Mo's call, full of vitality and energy.

"Brother, wait until I put the chicks back into the chicken coop. It will be there soon!" Mu Xue responded to Lin Mo.

The chicks seemed to understand what Muxue said. They all ran to her side and chirped as if they were saying, "Please put us back quickly. Sister Xue'er, go and eat!" This scene was very funny.

"Okay, okay, come with me, don't push, don't push, come one by one, Dahuang is the first, Erhuang is the second, and Xiaohuang is the third. Okay, I'm going to eat, bye." Muxue said to the chicks.

The chicks chirped as if responding to what Mu Xue said.

Mu Xue came to the dining area, which was the living room, and saw that today's dinner was very rich, including: beef, mutton, potatoes, eggs, and millet porridge.

"Wow! Brother, today's meal is so rich! There are even my favorite potatoes!" Mu Xue shouted in surprise.

"Hahaha, eat more if you like it. There are plenty at home! There are still a lot of vegetables you planted in the space. We can only eat them every day from now on. Although they won't go bad, they will always take up storage space. Although there is more than 100 meters of space, we should save as much as possible." Lin Mo said with a smile.

"Oh, it turns out that ten kilograms per person is still too little. How about changing it to 20 or 30 kilograms in the future? This way we can free up space and make everyone enjoy the meal more." Mu Xue chatted with Lin Mo while putting delicious food into her mouth.

"Hmm... This is a good idea. We can consider it. But we also have to be careful not to send too much or too little at once. We have to pay attention to our inventory." Lin Mo replied thoughtfully.

"Yes, then we can adjust the quantity of gifts based on the actual situation, so as to avoid waste and meet everyone's needs." Mu Xue nodded in agreement.

The two ate and chatted, enjoying the delicious dinner while also discussing future plans. They hoped to make better use of their resources and make more contributions to the community.
