When Mei Lan pushed open the courtyard door, it was dusk, the Mei family of five was sitting on the stone table in the courtyard to eat, Mei Baoping and Deng Hongying lowered their heads, Wang Ximei was chattering while using chopsticks to compare something, Mei Ju looked at Mei Baoping, was anxious and expectant, fourteen-year-old Mei Xin was indifferent, seeing Mei Lan push the door in, the five people seemed to be a little stunned, Wang Ximei's chopsticks also stopped in mid-air.

"Dad, when did you come back?" Mei Lan hadn't seen Mei Baoping for half a year, so she naturally had to say hello first.

"I also just entered the door with my front foot, I knew you would enter the door, I just waited for you on the side of the road for a while, hungry or not? Come, eat, eat. Mei Baoping had a flattering smile on his face, and his tone was much kinder than usual.

As soon as Mei Lan heard this, she pressed the suspicion in her heart and glanced at Mei Baoping, Mei Baoping was wearing a seventy or eighty percent new azure short-sleeved T-shirt and a pair of beige slacks.

Because Mei Baoping has been working as a chef in a restaurant in the city all the year round, the wind does not blow the rain, the sun does not shine, the skin is quite fair, the thick eyebrows and big eyes do not look like a rural person, and naturally he looks younger than Deng Hongying.

Mei Lan didn't know what they were talking about when they entered the door, most of it was related to herself, because Mei Baoping's eyes were a little evasive and uncomfortable when she looked at Mei Lan, besides, if she hadn't begged Mei Lan for something, Mei Baoping would never have flattered her like this.

In short, this is not the demeanor of a father at all.

Father, Mei Lan's eyes darkened when she thought of the word.

Looking at Deng Hongying again, Deng Hongying didn't dare to look directly at Mei Lan, glanced at Mei Lan apologetically, and lowered her head again.

Mei Ju turned her head to the side, looking at the grapefruit tree above her head, as if counting how many grapefruit there were above her head.

"Mei Xin, your high school entrance examination results have come out, how much did you take?" Mei Lan looked at the little brother with a normal face.

"Second sister, what about me, I must have a book, you still have to worry about yourself, right?" After Mei Xin finished speaking, he squeezed his eyes at Mei Lan.

"Eat your food well, and chew what maggots." Deng Hongying knocked Mei Xin's chopsticks with her chopsticks.

"Eat, eat, second sister, I'll help you serve the meal." Mei Ju hurriedly stood up and went into the kitchen to bring Mei Lan a bowl of rice.

Mei Lan put down her schoolbag, went to the well platform to wash her hands with water, and sat down at the stone table.

The family obviously knows that Mei Baoping is going home, there is meat, fish and ham, this food standard is much stronger than the last time Mei Lan went home, in addition, there is a plate of Huang Shanghuang sauce duck wings, this is not cheap, it is the whole family loves to eat, of course, it is also Mei Xin's favorite food, Mei Baoping must bring it every time he goes home.

"Second sister, come, look, Dad bought you your favorite duck wings, and if you don't come back, you'll have to snatch it up for your younger brother alone." Mei Ju enthusiastically sandwiched a bowl that Mei Lan put in.

"You don't have something to ask me for, do you?" Mei Lan asked deliberately.

She wants to see, in this life, how are they going to convince themselves?

"No, no, I have something to ask you, if you don't believe it, ask Dad, Dad, you can say it." Mei Ju led the topic to the silent Mei Baoping.

"Ah, me? I, I just want to ask, Lan Li, I heard that you are now working as a nurse in the hospital, how much can you earn a day? Mei Baoping sighed and began.

"Dad, don't worry, I earn my tuition myself, and you can provide for the eldest sister, Mei Ju, and Mei Xin to study."

Although Mei Baoping did not fulfill her responsibilities as a father, Mei Lan still didn't want to hear the sad words that Mei Baoping said from Mei Baoping's mouth that she couldn't afford so many people to study, so she gave Mei Ju the opportunity to study, after all, Mei Lan still had a little expectation of her parents, she didn't want to make trouble to the end, and this family didn't even give her the last thought.

"That, that, Lan Li......" Mei Baoping still spoke.

Merlan's heart sank little by little.

"Her father, the rice will be harvested tomorrow, didn't you say that you were going to go to the second brother and them to discuss the matter of renting a harvester?" Deng Hongying interrupted Mei Baoping's words.

"Yes, yes, eat, I still have business after eating." Mei Baoping sighed, he could delay it for two more days, he was really embarrassed to say this.

"What to eat?" Wang Ximei raised her eyebrows and was about to speak, when she suddenly saw her son's white round face, remembered why her son came back, and hurriedly changed her loving tone and said: "By the way, I heard the second child say today, it seems that there is no need for cattle to turn the ground now, and there are also tractors to turn over the ground, you might as well hire a tractor to turn the ground, you can also save some things, and Baoping can also be brisk." ”

"Mom, the four children in the family all have to study, and it will cost seven or eight hundred yuan to hire a harvester to cut rice, and then hire a tractor to plough the ground, and another three or four hundred yuan, this?" Deng Hongying was a little reluctant.

"Mom, let's hire a tractor to turn the ground, so that the family's farm work can be completed a few days in advance, and my father and I can go out a few days in advance to earn money, so it is still cost-effective." Merlin spoke.

She didn't want to stay in this home for a long time.

If she hadn't been afraid that saying it would arouse everyone's suspicions, she would have said it openly.

"That's right, Mei Lan can earn more than 100 yuan a day, and she will let her pay this money." Wang Ximei said busily.

When Deng Hongying heard this, she looked at Mei Lan apologetically.

It seems that since Mei Lan can remember, Mei Lan has not been treated by her grandmother, Deng Hongying always looks at her with such apologetic eyes, and because of this, Mei Lan compromises again and again.

"Second sister, how much money do you earn? I'm in high school, can you give me a phone too? I heard that my uncle gave you one. Mei Xin laughed on the side.

"The second sister is still using the uncle who eliminated it two years ago, what kind of mobile phone do you want as a high school student, read your books well." Mei Lan gently patted Mei Xin's head.

"He's the one you can do with it?" Wang Ximei's eyes turned sideways.

"Mother-in-law, you too, the second sister is just teasing me, what are you doing so loudly?" Mei Xin rolled her eyes.

Mei Xin was brought up by Mei Lan, he is closer to Mei Lan than Mei Zhu and Mei Ju, and he is not small, he has a certain ability to distinguish between right and wrong, and he is also quite sympathetic to Mei Lan's status in this family.

For Mei Lan, this is very content.

"You white-eyed wolf, I treat you so heart-wrenching, you actually yelled at me?" Wang Ximei saw that her grandson was angry with her, and immediately quit.

"Alright, alright, eat duck wings, mother-in-law." Mei Xin clipped a piece of duck wings to the old lady.

"Well, it's pretty much the same, I didn't hurt you in vain." Wang Ximei's face had a smile on her face.

After the meal, Mei Lan didn't wait for instructions, so she took the initiative to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and then moved a chair and went to the platform on the roof.

The platform on the roof of the building is used to dry rice, and few people usually come up, and Mei Lan doesn't come much when she comes, and she didn't have time to be sad in the past, so many things to do every day, a little free, and she still has to do a few practice questions.

I don't know what's going on today, I suddenly thought of the roof, but coincidentally, there was a full moon hanging in the sky, Mei Lan herself couldn't remember how long she hadn't been quiet to take a good look at the stars, the moon or something, before she was reborn, she had been like a spinning top, constantly turning, for the sake of family affection and love, there were too many things to grab, but she didn't get anything.

In this life, she must slow down her pace, she has found a way to make money, and this second stock operation has made her feel relied on, and she is no longer full of fear for the future.

Mei Baoping wanted to say what she didn't say, Mei Lan had already guessed what it was, and the reason why Wang Ximei also endured it was because the farm work at home was still waiting for Mei Lan, the main laborer, to reach out, in case this would offend Mei Lan, it was her son who suffered.

I'm afraid, my mother thinks so too, right? That's why I stopped Dad.

Thinking of this, Mei Lan's heart was cold.

Suddenly, the mobile phone rang twice, Mei Lan picked it up and saw that it was a text message from Xu Yan, saying that he and his classmates had gone to Huangshan to play, and it was estimated that he would arrive home in mid-July, and he would go to find her at that time.

The mobile phone number was Mei Lan who took the initiative to tell Xu Yan, because if she didn't say it, Xu Yan would also call her home or go directly to Jinggangshan to find her, and Mei Lan couldn't escape from this meeting.

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Mei Lan replied with four words, but tears fell on these four words.

She has never been crying and weak, but this Xu Yan, Mei Lan has followed his footsteps for ten years, Xu Yan has become the most important role in Mei Lan's life in the past ten years, Xu Yan polished her eyes for Mei Lan, told her how wonderful the outside world is, Xu Yan taught Mei Lan the joy of learning, and told her that poor people can also change their fate through guò knowledge, Xu Yan led Mei Lan into the palace of love, let her understand that she is also loved by someone and hurt by others, and it can also be very important.

It can be said that if there was no Xu Yan back then, the current Meilan might be a village girl who only knows how to farm at home, and she will go out to work with the little sisters in the village, and in two years, she will find someone to marry and live like her mother.

But, Xu Yan, why did you leave me behind at this time?

If it's just because I'm poor, then I've found a way to earn money, and I'll definitely have money in the future, and there's a lot of money, can I keep you?

Mei Lan in the previous life couldn't figure out how to understand at first, the Xu Yan who was willing to work with him to work and wash the dishes together, the Xu Yan who sued himself that the poor can also change their fate through guò knowledge, how can it be said that change has changed?

I remember that when Xu Yan came to tell him about the breakup, Mei Lan even punched and kicked Xu Yan, but Xu Yan didn't move, letting Mei Lan express the resentment in her heart.

Later, Mei Lan couldn't take the college entrance examination, there was no way, so she had to follow a sister in the village to G City to work, and after seeing the helplessness of so many college students outside, and seeing so many gatherings and dispersions, Mei Lan forgave Xu Yan.

At that time, Xu Yan had already followed his girlfriend to the other side of the Pacific Ocean.

What do you have to do in this life?
