Chapter 18 Branches
"You two are still very affectionate. Mei Leyue looked at the two of them, said with a smile, and looked at Yao Hongxi after speaking, and there seemed to be an insinuation in her words, "In the end, it is different from those messes outside, know the roots, hand in hand, how good it is to be affectionate and loving." ”
Yao Hongxi has not yet left the cabinet, she is still a little girl, she knows that her mother is talking about herself, but she doesn't care, and this time she is also very envious of Xia Chun and Mei Wendian's appearance, "But isn't it? I really hope that the Ruyi Langjun I marry in the future will also be as painful as Brother Adian." ”
Hand in hand with one person, get a white head, throughout the ages, is the lifelong wish of many ordinary women.
A few people continued to eat breakfast, chatting about homely things, the atmosphere was very lively, Mei Leyue suddenly called Xia Chun to the inner hall, "Chun'er, come, let me tell you something." ”
Xia Chun followed Mei Leyue in, Mei Leyue poured Xia Chun a cup of Monkey Kui, and opened the door Jianshan, "Chun'er, our family's recent tea sales are very bad, I plan to close a few tea shops, specialize in a few, concentrate on it, and focus on firing guns." ”
Although Xia Chun doesn't understand a lot, she has also heard that shopping malls are like battlefields, and Mei Leyue has always been a fierce image of a female general in her eyes. Xia Chun knew that it was not a bad thing to hand over the group to Mei Leyue, so he said, "I don't understand anything, so naturally I have to listen to you." ”
Mei Leyue nodded, seemingly very satisfied, and she asked again, "You mentioned Mei's Fanghua last time, what was the matter?"
Xia Chun looked at Mei Leyue and knew that Mei Leyue could be trusted, but when she thought of Mrs. Mei's deathbed entrustment, it showed that the situation was in crisis at that time, and Mei Leyue was credible, but those bad people were very likely to get something out of Mei Leyue, and that kind of consequence was something that Xia Chun could not afford. Before the recipe for Mei's Fanghua is fully found, she must learn to keep her mouth shut.
"It's nothing, I just heard the old man in the family say that Mei's Fanghua is so delicious, so I want to taste it, but hasn't it been lost for a long time? ”
Mei Leyue suddenly realized, "Oh, I see, my son, I thought you had found the recipe for tea?" Just as medicine has a prescription, this tea also has a formula, blindly with the wrong match, then it can't be called this tea, Mei's Fanghua's formula has been lost for a long time, hey, if Mei's Fanghua reappears in the world, it is estimated that we can toss a lot of sins." At least not as hard as it is now. ”
"Yes," Xia Chun wanted to bring this topic over in one sentence, and told Mei Leyue about the danger on the mountain when she went to worship before, but she only said that she was in danger, and as for the rest, Xia Chun avoided the important and light, and didn't say anything. As for what she said to Mei Wenzi in front of the tombstone, she still gave the scarf to Lin Yuefeng later, but she didn't say it.
"My child, are you okay?" Mei Leyue heard Xia Chun say this, the whole person was frightened, covering her chest, frightened, she grabbed Xia Chun's sleeve, looked Xia Chun up and down, looked left and right, for fear that she would bump somewhere.
Xia Chun was amused by Mei Leyue's appearance and replied, "Auntie, I have nothing to do, thanks to Mr. Lin for saving me that day." ”
Mei Leyue's face was a little more suspicious, "Why did Mr. Lin appear in the cemetery that day?
Xia Chun knew what Mei Leyue was worried about, and explained, "No, I don't know why he was there that day, and later asked Qiu Chan once, and Qiu Cicada only said that Mr. Lin took the initiative to find us because he saw me and Adian not coming back for a long time, and was afraid that we would not be safe outside." ”
Mei Leyue put her mind at ease, "But he is a big man living in your house, it's not good after all, you say it's okay to stay for a while, it's okay, after all, you can still be Adian's master, but next year Adian will also go to Eqiao Town to study in middle school, you said that Lin Yuefeng will stay at home again, it is unreasonable." ”
Seeing that Xia Chun pursed her lips and was silent, Mei Leyue stopped talking about it, "Chun'er, what do you see that gangster look like?"
Xia Chun shook his head, thought for a moment, seemed to remember something, and said, "Chun'er, but I remember that there was a butterfly-shaped scar on that person's wrist. ”
"Butterfly-shaped scar, okay, I'll help you remember, let my Chun'er be wronged, even if I look all over the Qingshui Stream, I will find that person for you, now the gangsters are so rampant, I didn't expect to bully my Mei family!" Mei Leyue clenched her fists and looked at Xia Chun, her eyes were full of love and pity, and Xia Chun didn't know how true or false that gaze was.
Xia Chun shook his head, "Auntie, it's also Chun'er who is not careful, I think it's also because during the war, there are many displaced people, business is not good, there is no business, there is nowhere to go, and it coincides with the Chinese New Year, so I can only burn and loot." ”
"Chun'er, a gentleman loves money, and he takes it in a good way, you are a bodhisattva, but those people are not. ”
"I'm not a gentleman, my aunt doesn't want to give me a hat, but then again, is my aunt willing to take an extra apprentice?"
Mei Leyue didn't understand, "How do you say this?"
"That's the case, my aunt also said just now, next year Wendian will go to study, I have been idle at home, there is no way, I just don't know if my aunt has time now, willing to teach me this stupid idler, learn how to pick tea, make tea, let me learn this business?"
Mei Leyue looked at Xia Chun, quietly and seriously looked at her, Xia Chun was Mei Leyue grew up watching, but Mei Leyue never looked at Xia Chun seriously, although she also hurt Xia Chun, but she only hurt when she was a daughter, when she bought something for her daughter, she always remembered to buy more for Xia Chun, and she remembered what Xia Chun liked to eat and what she didn't like to eat.
Mei Leyue looked at Xia Chun and found that Xia Chun's face was boxy, showing the word "country", with thick eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and thick lips. A bold idea suddenly popped up in her mind: Perhaps, the future of the Mei family can be pinned on this woman!
Thinking of this, Mei Leyue's eyes couldn't help but moisten, and she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "Of course this is good, I can't ask for it, Chun'er has really grown, she likes to learn since she was a child, and now she takes the initiative to learn the tea ceremony, if your parents and in-laws know everything, I don't know how happy it should be! As long as you don't dislike your aunt for being a big and rough person who doesn't know anything, your aunt is willing to teach you everything! Including your aunt's lifelong learning!"
"Then I'll thank my aunt, when do you think I'll go to the tea factory to find you?"
Mei Leyue touched Xia Chun's hand and looked pleased, "Don't worry, Chun'er, you have a good year first, and come to me after Chun'er next year." ”
Xia Chun nodded.
The two went out, and it happened that Mei Leyue's house had a meal at noon, and the table of the Eight Immortals was full, and the ordinary chicken, duck and fish meat were naturally full, and there were many local snacks in Qingshuijian, including purple cakes. The so-called "purple cake" is not purple, but a cake shape made of eggs and flour paste, which is square and can be filled with leeks, etc., and is not strictly a pastry, but more like a staple food. This dish is the favorite to eat in summer and spring, but it is usually made less, and she can eat a lot of it every time she comes to Mei Leyue's house, and then Mei Leyue knows that every time before Xia and Chun come, she will deliberately make a lot more.
According to the usual, in Qingshuijian, women and children are not allowed to eat at the table, but this time there are too few people, if you remove the children Mei Wendian and Yao Hongxi, and then remove the women Xia Chun and Mei Leyue, there will be very few, and there is no reunion feeling of the family eating lively. In addition, Mei Leyue and Xia Chun already had a high status in their respective families, so Xia Chun and Mei Leyue made an exception to the table. A happy family is home.
Mei Leyue has always had a bold temperament, knowing that Xia Chun likes to eat purple cakes, and can't wait to sandwich the whole plate of purple cakes into Xia Chun's bowl, Mei Le Moonlight Clip is not enough, and put the plate in front of Xia Chun, and said, "Chun'er, if you like it, eat more, it's okay, I also let the kitchen make more, you will go later, and let the autumn cicada heat it up for you tomorrow." ”
Xia Chun took a bite, it was indeed the taste of childhood, in fact, what she didn't say was that the reason why she liked to eat this dish was because her father told Xia Chun when she was a child that this dish was her mother's favorite food. Xia Wen said that his mother used to be ingenious and a good cook.
"Thank you, auntie, enough, enough, Chun'er really can't eat it. Xia Chun smiled and took the purple cake that Mei Leyue brought to him. A piece of purple cake is often very big, I don't know if it's old, she took a bite, she lost her desire, she just felt that the saltiness was too heavy, but Mei Leyue's concerned eyes kept looking over there, she really couldn't refuse, so she buried her head and wanted to nibble on this big purple cake.
Who would have thought that before she was halfway through the gnaw, she felt a feeling of nausea and wanted to vomit in her heart, like turning over the river and the sea, she hurriedly rushed outside, and vomited everything she had just eaten with a "wow".
The family hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks and came to see her, Yao Hongxi went to get water for Xia Chun, Yao Hongfeng went to get a handkerchief for Xia Chun, Mei Leyue patted Xia Chun's back, Mei Wendian and Yao Wenwu stood aside in order not to make trouble for them, and their faces were also concerned.
Mei Leyue squeezed her eyebrows, touched Xia Chun's belly, and looked overjoyed, "Chun'er, don't you have it? You have been married for half a year, and the days should be fast." ”
Xia Chun wiped the residue from the corner of his mouth and half smiled, "No, auntie, don't talk nonsense, Chun'er is also panicked, it won't be yes, it is estimated that she has slept irregularly in the past two days, it is too late, and her body has given an alarm, so she will make trouble." ”
Mei Leyue walked to the table with Xia Chun in her arms, and said to Xia Chun earnestly, "Then you have to take good care of yourself in the future, our Mei family is still waiting for you to spread the leaves." ”
