Mei Lan saw that the old lady's expression was not as enthusiastic as before, so she didn't say anything and went directly to the supermarket.

Mei Lan came back from the supermarket, and didn't think much about it, rural people often quarrel with each other because of trivial things, quarrels are commonplace, not to mention anything else, Mei Lan's mother and Mei Lan's second aunt have quarreled a few times, and now they don't talk much when they meet.

Therefore, the Meilan family generally rarely asks for help from Meilan's father's relatives for anything, because the three aunts all have opinions about Wang Ximei's favoritism towards the younger son, but in fact, the Meilan family did not take any advantage, on the contrary, Deng Hongying had to look at Wang Ximei's face every day.

After the meal, Mei Lan picked up a large basin of clothes to go to the river to wash, Deng Jianwen came out with a mallet for Mei Lan, Mei Lan guessed that he might have something to say. Sure enough, the two went out and walked to the river beach, and when they walked under the big camphor tree, Deng Jianwen saw that he was some distance away from home, so he stopped.

"Lan Lan, uncle asked you, what did you mean by the breakup you said to Zhuli and Juli in the hospital that day? Could it be that you have been in contact with that Xu Yan for the past few years? ”

"Uncle, don't worry, I used to contact only occasional letters, and my uncle also knows that I am so busy with my studies, and I don't have a mobile phone, where do I have time to write letters?"

When Deng Jianwen heard this, he crossed his waist and looked at a bamboo forest across the river, and did not speak for a long time.

Just when Mei Lan thought he was going back, Deng Jianwen suddenly said, "You are still young, I don't know how realistic people outside are now, uncle hopes that you will enter the university, don't be in a hurry to fall in love, it is always girls who suffer losses and get hurt at that time, and when you graduate, your job is stable, it's not too late to find it, uncle said this for your own good, a little girl of your age loves to dream, and uncle is afraid that you can't know people clearly." ”

"I understand."

Xu Yan has already taught Mei Lan a lesson.

"It's good to understand, don't tell grandma these words, study hard, find a good job in the future, uncle believes you can do it." After Deng Jianwen finished speaking, he looked at Mei Lan's eyes.

Mei Lan nodded solemnly.

"Alright, let's go."

Deng Jianwen turned around and went back, Mei Lan took the basin and clothes on the bluestone slab, now there are not many people in the laundry room by the river, and every family has a pumping well, but Mei Lan's grandmother always thinks that the clothes washed at home are not clean, and those laundry detergent soaps are not clean in the basin, and they have to go to the river to beat them with a mallet, so Liu Qiaozhen has been washing clothes by the river all these years, even in winter, and Mei Lan is naturally no exception.

Thinking of this, Mei Lan's heart became more and more annoyed, grandma's body is like this, grandpa can't help much at home, when can she take them out?

Mei Lan was stunned by the river for a while, until the sunset on the horizon had changed to blue-gray, and Mei Lan realized that twilight had fallen, and was busy washing clothes.

When she went to bed at night, because there were only three bedrooms in the house, Mei Lan shared a room with her grandmother as usual, and she didn't know how many times she had been lying in this room since she was a child, so she didn't care, the only thing that made her feel inconvenient was the gong bucket in the corner, which exuded a strong smell.

"Grandma, what did my mother-in-law say when she came, making my grandmother angry like this?" Mei Lan wanted to get something out of the mouth of this eighty-year-old lady.

After Mei Lan finished speaking, the old lady glanced at her, her cloudy eyes were full of disdain, and her mouth pouted, "Hmph, your grandmother is also stupid, and she actually let your mother-in-law bluff it, not to mention that your mother has been working as a cow and a horse over there all these years, how much has the Deng family helped the Mei family?" Ah, is it easy for my two grandchildren? Don't talk about it, but also pull the people of their Mei family, what does our Deng family owe to the Mei family? Without the Deng family, can your Mei family have a good life today? Can you live in that building? ”

This reminded Mei Lan that when Mei Lan came down from the upstairs that day, she seemed to hear her father and grandmother mention what money to build a house, this is not a small amount of money, why did the Deng family give the Mei family this large amount of money to build a house? The Deng family only lived in this small old house!

"Grandma, why did the Deng family give the Mei family the money to build a house?"

If Mei Lan is not mistaken, the Mei family's house should have been built around ninety-five years, it would be as if Mei Xin had just been born, and the Mei family had paid a fine for family planning, how could they have the money to build a house?

Even if the wages and prices were relatively cheap at that time, how could a building of this size cost 56780000 yuan? At that time, the uncle had just graduated from college, and the younger uncle had just entered the university, so it was impossible for the Deng family to come up with so much money?

What's going on here?

"Okay, don't ask if you shouldn't ask, why, why, why, what else, your mother is the daughter of your Deng family, she doesn't read much at home, and her life is the hardest, if you want to feel sorry for your mother, do more for her."

"Yes, I know."

Mei Lan knew that although Guizhi didn't like herself this week, she still loved these grandchildren, especially the two uncles, who seemed to be the root of their lives, but it happened that the two uncles were also angry and passed the exam.

Just when Mei Lan turned off the light and lay down, took a towel blanket and covered it with a blanket and prepared to sleep, the old lady suddenly spoke again, "I heard that you were admitted to a university in Beijing, if you have a chance in the future, don't forget to treat your mother, your grandmother and your two uncles well." ”

"Grandma, how do you know that I will be able to make a living?" Mei Lan asked curiously.

This old lady obviously doesn't like herself, but she entrusts the people closest to her to herself, which is also a bit too inexplicable, right?

"Hmph, although I'm old, I'm not confused, neither Zhuli nor Juli is a worry-free, the eyes are low, the eyelids are shallow, and when they suffer losses in the future, even if they come out of college, they can't eat a little hardship, what's the use? People, the most important thing is to be able to see their own situation clearly, when will they have to rely on themselves and point to others, how can there be such a cheap good thing? ”

Mei Lan knew that these words were the experience of her grandmother, she was a young widow and pulled her eldest son, but she didn't rely on herself? Therefore, Mei Ju's matter may have touched her, originally, she didn't look down on Mei Ju's laziness, and now she looked down on her.

Mei Lan remembered that after her grandmother knew that she gave Mei Ju the opportunity to study in Beijing, she also scolded herself for being confused, saying "There is a time when you regret it", and then Mei Lan and Mei Ju were both cleared home, Liu Qiaozhen was so angry that she got sick and left, Zhou Guizhi saw Mei Lan The first thing she said seemed to be "I'm not afraid of foolish people doing foolish things, I'm afraid that smart people will be confused for a while, and this time will be fatal." ”

"Grandma, don't worry, I remembered what you said." Merlin leaned closer to the old lady.

The old lady patted Mei Lan, and suddenly staggered up, and out of nowhere she found a cloth bag, turned on the light, and opened the red cloth bag, in which lay a dozen silver dollars and a few silver jewelry.

"Grandma, what are you going to do here?" Merlin had never seen an old lady take out these things.

She always thought that the Deng family was very poor and poor, how could the old lady still have a silver dollar in her hand?

"These silver dollars were left to me by your grandfather, these silver ornaments were my dowry back then, when your mother got married, I gave two pieces to each person, and now you are going to Beijing to study, I will also give you two pieces, don't tell those few, and don't tell your mother, you have a good life, if you are in Beijing, the hand is really tight, I heard that this thing is still worth a few dollars now, you take it and change it." The rest of the things, I want to keep them for Peng Peng. ”

"Don't, grandmother, this is too precious, I ......"

This change was too fast for Mei Lan to accept for a while.

"If you give it to you, you will take it, I have said it, I am not confused, I know who is good and who is not good over the years, but there is one point, you go to Beijing, tell your uncle well, let him give me a great-grandson as soon as possible."

Rural people still have a deep-rooted patriarchal mentality, otherwise Deng Hongying would not have given birth to four in one go, but after all, this is in the countryside, how can he still make do with it, but Deng Jianwu is difficult, although he is not a public official and is not subject to the restrictions of family planning, he must be able to afford to have one more?

I heard that Mei Lan's cousin was only four years old, and she couldn't afford to hire a nanny when she was young, so she had to invite her mother-in-law and father-in-law to see the children, and the two old people also had a brother-in-law, so his current burden is not lighter than Deng Jianwen.

Mei Lan took the two silver dollars, heavy, she hadn't seen these things yet, and she also learned what she saw on TV, put them to her mouth and blew them, and then brought them to her ears and listened to them.

It's a pity that I didn't hear anything, but this childish act pleased the old grandmother, who smiled and took out a silver bracelet for Mei Lan.

"Grandma, I really can't ask for this, keep this for my brother-in-law's cousin." Merlin hurriedly put it back.

Because she saw it, there were not many jewelry, just a silver hairpin, a silver bracelet and a pair of earrings.

"Grandma, why don't you wear these things? Now it is fashionable to wear bracelets outside, I heard that silver bracelets can also kill viruses and sterilization, and when I have money in the future, I will buy a gold bracelet for my grandmother to wear. ”

"And this saying, then this silver bracelet, send it to your grandmother early tomorrow morning."

Zhou Guizhi likes Mei Lan, not to mention being diligent, not greedy, but also strong, knowing that he is in control of his own destiny.

This child suffered so much when he was young, and I hope that he will have a good life in the future.

Mei Lan looked down at the pattern of the silver bracelet, and didn't notice that the old grandmother looked at her, and there were tears in the corners of her eyes.
