CHAPTER XVI
As soon as Meng Qingxuan and Meng Yao arrived at the foot of the mountain, they saw his father and An Zhu standing anxiously in place, and when he saw them, he hurriedly greeted Meng Yao and took him: "Why is it so late, it's really a desperate death." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Uncle Meng almost went into the mountains to look for you, so I said it's okay, I have to wait for you here, if I wasn't afraid of staggering, I would go into the mountains to look for you." An Zhu helped beside him, and glanced at Meng Yao fiercely, looking at Meng Yao inexplicably.
Meng Qingxuan smiled and reassured: "What can happen, I was lucky to meet a few prey, and I forgot about it for a while, Dad, you are too worried, don't you still believe me." ”
"Xuan'er, why are your sleeves broken?" Meng Yuan saw at a glance that half of Meng Qingxuan's sleeves had become tattered. looked worried: "Don't you have something to hide from your father." ”
"If something happens, can I hide it from you? It's really fine, it's just that I was scraped by a tree branch while chasing a rabbit, and you don't know me yet. Meng Qingxuan smiled and opened the wild vegetables spread on the top of the basket to reveal the two fat rabbits inside: "Look, it's not easy to catch this thing, I chased it for a long time, otherwise I would have come back early." ”
"Amitabha, sins and sins." Looking at the two rabbits, Meng Yuan couldn't help but start chattering. "Dad can make money, how can he take advantage of these innocent lives...
"Dad, I'm hungry." Seeing this, Meng Yao unconsciously held her forehead, where did his father come from, he felt a headache when he heard her father nagging like this, and he didn't know how her mother could stand it in the first place.
"I haven't eaten breakfast, can I not be hungry?" As soon as he heard that the baby girl was hungry, Meng Yuan immediately forgot about those innocent rabbits: "Xiaozhu sent some cakes just now, you will fill your stomach and go to eat next door at night." "The Meng family and the An family are good friends, since Qin Yunxiang passed away, Aunt An always makes excuses every time she sees the two children not eating well, and the two families eat together, and everyone has become accustomed to nodding and agreeing.
When they arrived at the courtyard of the Meng family, An Zhu, who was silent just now, immediately pulled Meng Yao to the side in a hurry, and looked like a shrew with his hands on his waist: "Meng Qingyao, you are so uninteresting, you don't even call me when you go up the mountain, and you are still not a friend." ”
"Xiaozhu, don't blame me for not reminding you, hehe." Meng Yao looked at An Zhu with a wicked smile and pointed to the next door with her finger.
An Zhu immediately changed his face and pretended to stand still, lowered his voice and said, "Didn't you say that you would go up the mountain together, but you actually abandoned me." "That sad face, if it weren't for herself, she would be a three-year-old girl, and she would really think that she had met a negative man.
"Okay Xiaozhu, don't be angry." Meng Yao tugged at the corner of An Zhu's clothes and whispered softly: "I'm in a hurry to go out today, I'll definitely call you next time." ”
"What are you doing on the mountain today, it's been so long, but Uncle Meng is in a hurry." An Zhu was originally pretentious and didn't get really angry: "You forget it, Brother Xuan doesn't have a number." ”
"Isn't it a market tomorrow, my brother is thinking about going up the mountain to grab something and see if he can exchange it for silver. That's not all for now. ”
"Hey, it's really too hard for your family to rely on Uncle Meng alone if you don't have a field." An Zhu sighed like a little adult, and she also knew the situation of the Meng family: "But remember to bring me next time, I can still help Brother Xuan, you can only hold back."
Hmph, I won't tell you wouldn't have caught these things without me. Looking at the stinky Anzhu, she could only think arrogantly in her heart.
Over there, Meng Qingxuan was still discussing with his father what he wanted to bring over at night: "Bring a rabbit, Uncle An's family is usually a little fishy." ”
"Amitabha, why don't you bring some wild vegetables." Meng Yuan looked at the struggling hare with pity, panicked in his heart.
Meng Qingxuan looked at his father weakly, no wonder his mother used to tell him a lot of things instead of telling his father, "Don't mention the usual Aunt An's care for our family, just say that if it weren't for Xiaozhu's cleverness this time, Tuan Tuan would not have been able to save it, wouldn't it be good to bring a wild vegetable." ”
"Then you can do it." Meng Yuan replied in a sullen voice, in the past few years, without Yun Niang, he is no longer the ignorant Meng Yuan before, many things have their own rules, and we can only adapt to it in such a world, not let it adapt to you.
Seeing that it was almost time, Meng Qingxuan called Meng Yuan and Meng Yao to go next door, and they could still help do something after this time.
"Brother Meng Yuan will come when he comes, and he will bring something." Uncle An has an upright temperament, and he opened his mouth a little unhappily when he saw that Meng Yuan was still bringing a rabbit to the door.
"Today, the two little ones went to the mountains to catch them back, and they just added a dish, it's not that the sister-in-law's craftsmanship is good, the children are hungry." Meng Yuan smiled and handed the rabbit to Meng Qingxuan and asked him to take it to the kitchen to help.
"Hey, two days ago, your Jiaxuan kid also gave a chicken, look at this whole thing." Uncle An was uneasy when he thought of receiving so many things, the Meng family had no land and relied on Meng Yuan to work for people for a short time, and the money earned was not extra for tooth sacrifice at all, and it was rare that most of the good things went into his stomach, and he scratched in his heart.
"What the eldest brother said, are those grains and dishes worth this in the past? To put it this way, the younger brother won't dare to accept the things sent by his sister-in-law next time. Meng Yao looked at it and snickered, don't look at Meng Yuan grinding and chirping at home, how could anyone think that her father would have recited the scriptures five times at home before going out.
Seeing that Meng Yuan and Uncle An were chatting hotly, Meng Yao felt bored and went to the kitchen to find An Zhu. Before entering the kitchen, I smelled the smell of meat, An Zhu burned the fire, Meng Qingxuan washed the vegetables, Aunt An stir-fried vegetables The three of them had a clear division of labor and special coordination, Meng Yao came in and squatted to help her brother pick beans, Aunt An looked at it, and hurriedly fished out a piece of meat and bones and put it in the bowl and pulled the person up: "How can I want you to do this, Yao girl, come and taste it, my aunt has stewed for an afternoon, this meat is rotten, come and taste the fragrance." ”
Meng Yao's eyes lit up immediately when he saw the food, and he didn't use chopsticks, he washed his hands and gnawed on the big bones, the bones were stewed enough to be simmered, and the bones and flesh trembled and were easily torn off, the pork at this time was not the kind of breeding pigs that ate feed in the previous life, the pork was not only fragrant but also chewy, and Meng Yao's face was full of oil. "Aunt An, it's so fragrant and delicious."
"Eat more if it's delicious, there's more, there's enough for you to eat." Aunt An was happy when she saw the fragrance of Meng Yao's food, she didn't believe it when she heard Qingxuan say that Yao Yatou could eat it, but she didn't want to move when she put it before she specified a bite, which is like now, the old man said that if you don't die, there will be a blessing in the future, Yao Yatou is not a blessing in disguise.
Aunt An's work is very quick, and she made a table of dishes after a while, rabbit meat stewed with potatoes, half of the pheasant left last time was braised last time, sauerkraut stewed with big bone broth, stir-fried beans, stir-fried shredded potatoes, cold wild vegetables, and Aunt An's best pickled side dishes.
As soon as the two families sat down, Meng Yuan waved his hand embarrassedly: "How can my sister-in-law do so much, I can't help it." ”
"What's the matter, half of the dishes on this table are brought by your family, sister-in-law, I'll just borrow a light." Aunt An smiled heartily. Not polite at all: "Okay, Brother Meng, don't say anything else, let's eat, the children are hungry."
"That's it, Dad, Aunt An's family is not an outsider, you are just like you are in your own home." Meng Yao pulled her father to be coquettish, isn't it just a meal, it's a big deal to take more things out in the future.
"You girl, what nonsense are you talking about." Meng Yuan gave Meng Yao a color, how could the girl's family be so embarrassed to spread it in the future.
"I love to listen to Yao girl's words, isn't it the same as my own family in our house, the same as her mother, atmospheric, Brother Meng, it's not my sister-in-law who said you, you, for so many years, it's still the same as Rue Xiang said, sour, what is the relationship between our two families, you are still in this sour and polite way, it's not as good as Yao girl." Aunt An didn't like Meng Yuan's politeness, and she seemed angry. "I just like Yao girl."
"Hey, it's me who made my sister-in-law smile." Meng Yuan was no longer hypocritical, and took the lead in clipping a chopstick: "Don't look at it, eat it." Sister-in-law's craft is really speechless. ”
"If you like it, eat more, but I don't like it."
This meal was all eaten by the guests and hosts, and halfway through the meeting, An Zhu wanted to go with Meng Yao to live or die, Aunt An had no choice but to ask Meng Yuan to look at it, with Meng Yuan here, they were still relieved. However, An Zhu and Meng Yao smirked excitedly.
