Chapter 444: Daily life in the old house

"Isn't it a little inconvenient?"
Ma Hai didn't want to disturb others.
Guan's father, Guan's mother, and their family went out to play, and they even got together, which was indeed a little disturbing.
After all, in Ma Hai's view, although they knew each other, they were not acquaintances after all.
"Then we won't be polite."
Compared to Ma Hai, his wife Cai Ying didn't think too much and just agreed with a smile.
Guan Ma quite liked Cai Ying's down-to-earth and generous character, so she directly called the shop owner over and ordered some more food.
The main thing is butterfly stuffing.
Dad Guan can't drink while driving, but she can.
Ever since Guan Suisui had an eye problem, she hasn't drank the butterfly brew here for a long time.
The current time coincides with the outbreak of butterflies in the Jinyun Mountain area, although it has little to do with this butterfly brew.
But the feeling of drinking Butterfly Brew at this time is indeed the best.
When the boss brought the dessert dishes and butterfly stuffing, Tang Mu and Guan Suisui also curiously came over to take a closer look.
Purple wine with a hint of pink, this was the first time they had seen each other.
At Guan Suisui's strong request, Guan's mother also poured half a cup for Guan Suisui.
When Tang Mu saw this, he immediately raised his paws and meowed.
It clearly shows that it also wants it.
Tom actually doesn't drink.
But it will have a curiosity to try drinks that it has never drunk before.
After you taste it, if it doesn't taste good, you won't drink it in the future.
If it tastes good, I might drink it as a drink in the future.
For example, Rio is a good drink in Tom Mu's opinion.
As for other wines, they are not so drinkable.
Of the beer, he could only drink snow, and it had to be ice-cold snow, and he only drank the first sip.
After that, it won't taste good.
Because of this, basically it won't buy beer.
It would be too wasteful to buy a bottle of wine just for that one sip.
"Tom, do you want it too?"
Guan's mother held the bottle of wine in her hand, ignoring Father Guan who was looking at him with eyes wide open. Seeing that Tang Mu nodded repeatedly, she poured some for Tang Mu.
Although the wine has been poured, Guan Ma still couldn't help but warn: "The alcohol content of this wine is not high, but it is not low either. If you can't drink it, drink a little less. Just taste it."
Tom Mu stood on the stool with a confident look on his face, patting his chest with the cat's paws, indicating that there was no problem at all!
Cai Ying next to her looked at Tang Mu's popular appearance with an expression of interest on her face.
This was the first time she had seen such a smart cat.
As expected, it was the same as what Ma Hai said.
Guan Suisui couldn't wait to pick up the plastic cup and took a sip. She immediately smiled and said: "It's a bit sweet and delicious. What is this made of? Is it honey collected by butterflies?"
"Made from purple rice."
Cai Ying answered Guan Suisui's question, and the butterflies also liked the taste.
"I read a travel magazine a long time ago, and there was an introduction on it, which was quite interesting."
"It is said that the brewing materials and methods of this wine actually refer to some ancient biological insect recipes. This ancient recipe can not only attract butterflies, but also attract some valuable insects with medicinal value."
"But I don't know what the specific situation is. I just came here to take a look because I was interested. But when I asked the boss, he didn't say anything."
"Really, boss?"
Cai Ying said, and looked at the boss who was walking next to him carrying dishes.
The shop owner just smiled honestly and didn't say anything else. He just said, "If you like it, just drink more. This is what you ordered."
Seeing the shop owner put the side dishes on the table, Cai Ying, probably out of professional habit, explained with a smile: "This dry-fried river fish is the original Tassel Loach. This fish is quite beautiful when it is alive. It is just not easy to raise. It has to grow in fast-flowing rivers, so this location and the price are quite cost-effective."
"So that's it. Sister Cai Ying has so many beautiful things."
Guan Suisui had already finished half a cup of butterfly brew, and had just picked up a pair of chopsticks to dry-fried river fish. After hearing Cai Ying's introduction, she immediately started to praise her.
"Bah bang bang!"
Next to him, Tom Mu also clapped vigorously like a seal, with two obvious blushes on the cat's face.
I was very drunk at first sight.
The generous Cai Ying was made a little embarrassed by them.
The main reason is that Tom Mu's performance was too exaggerated.A few people didn't realize that Tang Mu was a little too excited now. He was still eating, drinking and chatting there.
When the time was almost up, everyone got up and walked out together.
They still have to go up the mountain in a hurry.
It's best to have lunch on the mountain, so you can't stay too long in the town.
But Dad Guan actually bought two barrels of butterfly brew and put them in the trunk of the car.
There were even dewdrops hanging on the outside of the wine barrel.
"Are you driving?"
Outside the store, Guan's father looked at Ma Hai and his wife.
"It's open, but the car is broken down and the tram can't be repaired here, so we asked our colleagues to drive over. Look at the time, it should be there soon."
Cai Ying said, looking at her watch, there was something strange on her face.

Logically speaking, Liuyang City is not far from here. They should have arrived by now when they were eating.
Dad Guan suggested: "Then take our car up first. Just call your colleague and ask him to go directly to the mountain."
"That's okay too."
Cai Ying nodded.
A group of people got into the car, and Guan Dad started the vehicle and drove towards the mountain.
The road up the mountain has also been renovated.
It's more comfortable to drive. After all, I'm going back to my hometown, and Guan's father is familiar with the road.
It is said that the mountain road has eighteen bends.
This is really the case in actual experience.
The front of the car tilted up, basically making one S-turn after another. Having just drank some wine, Tom Mu, who was already slightly tipsy, felt like vomiting.
Lowering the window, Tom put his head out the window, feeling the wind blowing in his face, trying to relieve his desire to vomit.
But obviously the effect is not very good.
No, I can't help it.
In the end, Tom Mu jumped out of the car window in order to reach his destination early.
"Tom?!"
The people in the car were shocked.
Then they felt that the car they were sitting on seemed to have risen a lot.
"Ah? What's going on?"
Dad Guan looked at his idling steering wheel in front of him and the scenery passing by on both sides.
Tom Mu, who was so uncomfortable that he wanted to vomit, chose to carry the car and run up the mountain between being in the car and vomiting outside.
At this time, behind Dad Guan's vehicle, there were two cars going up the mountain.
The driver in the car also saw this scene and couldn't help but widen his eyes!
"You're cheating! You said you didn't sell me fake wine! What did I see in broad daylight!"
One of them slapped the steering wheel so hard that his eyes nearly popped out.
He clearly saw that the cat was like a turtle, carrying such a big car on its back and crawling forward at an extremely fast speed.
Behind the fake drunkard, the driver also looked shocked.
Because of the angle, he couldn't see Tom Mu who was resisting the car.
However, he saw that the tram waiting for the red light with him in Liuyang City ignored the curve and climbed straight up the steep slope of nearly 60 degrees next to it.
Others had to make S-curves when driving up the mountain, but that car simply went straight up.
"Is this the legendary autonomous driving?"
Ten minutes later.
Destination arrived.
Tom Mu got out from under the car. After running in a sweat, he finally sobered up and felt refreshed.
However, the four passengers in the car felt a little uncomfortable.
Although I indirectly experienced a feeling similar to that of a My Neighbor Totoro bus, the experience of riding a roller coaster was really stomach-churning.
After getting out of the car, the four of them ran directly to the roadside and vomited.
Tom Mu put his hands on his hips with a proud smile on his face.
These guys are not good at drinking.
I drank so much that I vomited.
Then, Tom Mu turned his attention to the house here.
They are now located halfway up Jinyun Mountain.
As the altitude rises, the surrounding air becomes fresher.
Perhaps because of the terrain, there is not only one house here.
Although there is a distance between them, you can basically see a house at every corner.
It's also because of the forest park on the mountain.
The houses of these families are not just for self-occupation, most of them also serve as farmhouses.
Can provide meals and simple accommodation to tourists.
Just because they are not very professional, they generally don't do much business.
Most people who go up the mountain either choose to live in the town at the foot of the mountain, or go directly to a hotel in the Forest Park.
After all, the accommodation conditions in those two places are obviously better.
But they are not considered tourists, they are just returning to their hometown, so they don't need to think so much.
The Guan family had become somewhat tolerant of Tang Mu's behavior. Although they still looked at Tang Mu a few more times, they didn't say anything more.
Dad Guan walked directly to his old house.
When he was young, this old house was a mud and tile house, and then when he had some money, it became the current two-story brick house.
The brick and tile houses from more than ten years ago looked really good, but from today's perspective, they are indeed a bit old and outdated.
"Sorry, I haven't been back for a long time. I have to clean up."
Guan's father and Guan's mother apologized to Ma Hai and his wife.
"No, no, no, you are too polite. We are the ones who disturbed you, and we are here to help."
As Ma Hai said this, he pulled his wife forward.
Cai Ying finished vomitingAfter that, he kept staring at Tom Mu.
After being pulled by Ma Hai, they followed him towards the old house.
While walking, he turned back to look at Tom Mu every step of the way.
Tom was completely indifferent to this.
Anyway, I have driven a Pleasant Goat rocker car in joint racing before.
It is no longer the same Tom who just became Tom Cat.
Now, it knows what it is.
Guan's dad and Guan's mom took out a lot of cleaning tools from the trunk of the car, obviously they were well prepared.
It is said that popularity raises a house.
That's really the case.
Some houses are fine when there are people living in them.
No problem for decades.
Once the owner of the house leaves, problems will occur within a few years, and it may even collapse.
Guan's father and Guan's mother looked up at the traces of time in the old house and sighed.
They discovered that there was a bird's nest on the eaves.
It's just that the bird's nest is a little dry and there are no birds in it.
Everyone went to clean up. Naturally, Tang Mu and Guan Suisui couldn't stand still.
Things like cleaning are Tang Mu's specialty.
Putting on gloves and a mask, Tang Mu started working in the old house like a whirlwind.
Suddenly, the whole house was filled with smoke and dust raised by Tom Mu.
Guan Suisui was choked so hard that she covered her mouth and nose and coughed repeatedly.
Cai Ying was very interested in Tang Mu. Her eyes widened and she just wanted to observe Tang Mu more.
She now even wonders if Tom is an alien.
Like cats or something.
However, neither Guan Suisui nor Guan Suisui's family seemed surprised when she saw her husband, and she didn't say anything.
With Tang Mu's help, the entire house was cleaned and looked brand new in a very short period of time.
It was so clean that the whole house was sparkling.
"Well done, Tom, now we can cook something delicious for lunch."
Guan Ma did not hesitate to praise him, and even put a little red flower on Tang Mu's head.
Tom Mu was very proud of this and raised his chest and head.
The big part of hygiene was taken care of by Tang Mu, and the rest of the matter can be solved by Mom and Dad.
Guan Suisui is restless.
Seeing Tang Mu go out, she ran out too.
The two guys planned to find something interesting to play.
Watching Tang Mu and Guan Suisui leave, Cai Ying walked to the edge of Ma Hai and said thoughtfully: "You said, if we apply to the editor for a cat to be a colleague, will he agree?"
"ah?"
Ma Hai turned to look at his wife, his brain twitched for a moment, and then he came to his senses: "You mean Tom?"
"Yeah, what a good animal spy it is. It can help us take a lot of videos and photos of nature that we couldn't take before!"
Cai Ying was a little excited.
In their job, it is really difficult to take a good photo.
It not only tests professionalism, but also tests luck.
Ma Hai shook his head: "It's useless for us to think about it. We have to ask Tom for his own consent."
"you're right."
Hearing this, Cai Ying nodded somewhat discouraged.
Although they are career editors, they really can't come up with any good conditions to attract Tom.
After all, he also heard from Ma Hai that the cat went to film a movie some time ago, and he heard that the pay was quite high.
Seeing that Cai Ying was a little depressed, Haima said again: "You can ask me later, be honest, Tom's family is very easy to talk to."
"Okay, I'll try."
Cai Ying nodded.
On the other side, Guan Suisui had already taken Tang Mu around the old house.
She came here only a few times, and she was still very young, so her memory was rather vague, and she was curious about everything she saw.
Especially after arriving at the woodshed, I immediately became interested when I saw the axes and dry firewood placed inside.
"Ha! Tom sees the move!"
Guan Suisui picked up a wooden stick leaning against the wall and stabbed it towards Tang Mu.
When Tang Mu saw the long and straight wooden stick, he couldn't move his eyes away!
Damn it!
A peerless sword!
It's a pity that there is only this perfect stick. Tang Mu wants to play with it, but Guan Suisui refuses to let him play with it.
Fortunately, after Guan Suisui swung the stick a few times, she felt tired and threw it to Tang Mu.
She became interested in the wooden pier and ax next to her again.
She has never chopped firewood before growing up.

Tang Mu was delighted that Guan Suisui had found a new toy, and he happily carried the stick behind his back.
Then he took off a bamboo hat from the wall and put it on his head. He held a piece of dogtail grass picked from the roadside in his mouth, and folded his paws on his chest. He looked like a cat in the world.
Tom Mu was very happy to entertain himself.
Guan Suisui was also very happy trying to chop firewood hard.
Although I didn't master the skills and didn't have much strength, I didn't succeed in splitting the firewood.
But this has already made Guan Suisui want to play with fire!
