In the courtyard of the old house, Mei stood under the wall of the Li family, with a rare sad expression on his face.

The two families are next to each other, only separated by a wall, and the movement in the yard over there is naturally heard here. Gui Chongyang couldn't help blushing, and went over to knock on the door under the banner of Mei's, but Mei's listened to him correctly.

Mei didn't say anything, nodded to Gui Chongyang, and turned to Mei Xiaoba: "Xiaoba is here." ”

"Sixth aunt." Mei Xiaobahan stepped forward with a smile.

Mei touched his head and said, "It's really long, half a head taller than last year." ”

Mei Xiaoba straightened her chest and said: "I'm ten years old, I'm not a milk baby, and now I can eat three bowls of rice in one meal!" ”

Mei smiled and said, "Okay, good, it's a blessing to be able to eat, I'll eat here at noon today." ”

Mei Xiaoba was still hesitating, peeking at Gui Chongyang.

In the days when Gui Chongyang came back, he had a relationship with Mei Fuzi and Mei Xiucai, and he was "the head of the Gui family's house", but everyone in the village heard it.

At that time, some people speculated that Gui Chongyang and Mei's would have a dispute, after all, one was born outside Gui Yuan, and the other was Gui Yuan's baby parent, who had been in the Gui family for all these years.

Everyone was waiting to see the excitement of the Gui family, but they didn't expect these two people to "live in peace". Then Gui Wu returned to the sect, so that everyone's attention was on the second room of the Gui family, and no one paid attention to the long room.

Only the Mei clan, a few elders were worried about the Mei family, and it was not until the Gui family deducted the dowry of the two aunts and nephews from Mei Tongsheng's father and son, and there were rumors that the Mei family was going to tell Mei Duo to Gui Chongyang, that everyone finally let go.

Mei has no biological flesh and blood, and Gui Chongyang has the "name of mother and son", but there is no mother-son relationship, and Mei Duo, who chose her niece and adopted daughter, as her daughter-in-law, and she doesn't expect her son to count on her daughter-in-law in the future.

Mei Xiaoba naturally heard the rumors, so she willingly called Gui Chongyang "Brother Chongyang", thinking that he was not only his "cousin" in his name, but also his cousin-in-law.

As for Mei's fact that she is not a daughter-in-law but an adopted daughter on the Gui family's household registration post, because no one in the Gui family advertises it, no one knows about it.

Gui Chongyang didn't know that he was "brother-in-law", so he only treated Mei Xiaoba politely, and said with a smile: "I invited you to come over just for this meal at noon, the family grinded wheat yesterday, and my aunt said in the morning, make sesame salt cakes at noon." ”

Mei Xiaoba swallowed her saliva: "Then I'll eat here!" ”

My cousin's house, from my cousin's house, what is the outside world?

Mei Xiaoba didn't need to be let anymore, so she persuaded herself.

In the upper room, Mei Duo heard the sound of talking in the yard, picked up the curtain and came out, saw Mei Xiaoba, and smiled: "Why are you here?" In the past, deliveries were always delivered to the door, so you didn't come in. It's been half a month since I sent loaches, and I'm hungry. ”

Mei Duo said this, of course, not because she was insatiable, but because she remembered the love of her little cousin and did not treat him as an outsider.

Only then did Gui Chongyang know that Mei Xiaoba had come to the Gui family before.

Mei Xiaoba smiled "hehe", but refused to answer.

What else could there be? It's just that I'm afraid that others will know, and the Mei family will be excluded along with the Gui family. However, being able to think of secretly receiving help, whether it was ordered by Mei Xiaoba's elders or Mei Xiaoba's own decision, Gui Chongyang was grateful.

"Auntie, bake eggs again and give the little eight burritos to eat!" Gui Chongyang Road.

Mei Shi answered, but did not go to the kitchen immediately, but looked at Gui Chongyang, wanting to say something, but it can be seen that Mei Xiaoba and Mei Duo were on the side, glared at him, and then turned to the kitchen.

Gui Chongyang touched his nose, a little weak. He could naturally guess what Mei didn't say, and he must have complained that he shouldn't have gone hunting wild boars.

Mei Duo had already gone to fetch a plate of kidney bean cake for Mei Xiaoba.

This is what Mei has started to do in the past few days, she saw that Gui Chongyang has been a vegetarian, and she was worried that she would not be hungry, so she made snacks for him as snacks.

Because it is made by home, it is not as small and delicate as the dim sum shop, but it is a real material, one is half the size of an adult's palm, and honey is used in it, which tastes very sweet and soft.

Gui Chongyang looked like a little adult, but in the end, he was a child, and he was very sweet.

Originally, he was not hungry at the moment, but seeing the sweetness of Mei Xiaoba's food, Gui Chongyang also wiped his hands and took a piece.

There was a sound of footsteps at the gate of the courtyard, and Gui Chongyang looked up and saw that it was Gui Chun who came.

When Mei Duo saw it, Xia Fei's cheeks didn't move, but she only looked Gui Chun up and down twice.

Gui Chun was embarrassed, but he was reluctant to look away, and said, "Milk, let me send meat." ”

Mei heard it in the kitchen, walked out, and saw Gui Chun carrying a wild boar meat weighing four or five catties, and said busily: "This is too much, no, no, Chongyang is still a vegetarian, just me and Duo'er, how much can I eat?" Half of it. ”

Gui Chun said: "Milk said to keep it and eat it slowly, these two months of summer leisure, there are many people who do happy events, and it is also a courtesy envoy, aunt, you stay, I will go to Uncle Zhang's house to drink meat porridge." With that, he shoved the wild boar meat into Meadow's hand, turned and ran.

Although she didn't touch Mei Duo's hand, she was ashamed, and hurriedly carried the meat and lowered her head into the kitchen.

Gui Chongyang was thinking about what Gui Chun said, obviously Gui Er's grandfather heard Mei Xiaoba's words, and mentioned it to Gui Er's grandmother, cutting two catties of meat over, which was also a disguised supplement.

Mei's external identity is a widow, and when she encounters happy events, she has to avoid it, but the countryside pays little attention to it, and she only avoids getting married, and the rest is fine. Therefore, there will be an invitation from the Mei clan.

Gui's second grandfather and Gui's second grandmother obviously supported the Mei clan to resume contact with the clansmen.

In Gui Chongyang's heart, he regarded Mei as his own aunt, and he had already planned that if Mei got married, he would prepare a decent dowry; If Mei has no intention of remarrying, then he will be sent to the end of his old age.

With a similar meaning, Gui Chongyang also mentioned it to Gui's second grandfather and Gui's second grandmother.

The old couple saw that this Gui Chongyang was not a child who had a traitor in his heart, it would be good if he was good to anyone, but he was a man after all, and he would marry a wife and have children in the future.

At that time, who knows what kind of temperament the daughter-in-law will marry, instead of letting Mei look at the face of the junior, it is better to take another step while she is young. If you really want to remarry, it is naturally good to have a serious mother's family, like the Gui family, after all, there is a relationship with Guiyuan, and it is not easy to get ahead, otherwise it will not be good for the family behind to feel bad. The Mei family was a little close, and the old couple was very supportive of the Mei family and their relatives moving around again.

Mei Shi looked at the direction of the kitchen and muttered: "This Nizi, you're really welcome, but I dare to accept it, there are only a few catties of meat in total......"

"Wild boar ......" Mei Xiaoba's eyes lit up, and she was about to salivate when she looked in the direction of the kitchen.

Gui Chongyang saw it on the side, and couldn't help but smile: "Auntie, fry a plate of wild boar at noon, you can also use that to wrap cakes!" ”

Mei Shi was about to shake his head, but when he saw Mei Xiaoba's appearance, he couldn't bear it, and nodded and said, "Okay, wild boar fried green onions, burritos to eat." ”

When Mei Xiaoba heard this, she hurriedly waved her hand and said, "I don't eat it, I don't eat it, the sixth aunt keeps the meat." ”

Mei smiled and said, "My aunt has eaten so many loaches and small fish from you, can I still invite you to eat meat?" It's sunbathing outside, so don't play outside, go inside and talk. ”

Mei Xiaoba was also really greedy, so she smiled "hehe" and didn't postpone it any longer.

Mei entered the kitchen, and Gui Chongyang took Mei Xiaoba to the house.

Walking to the door, Mei Xiaoba gasped and didn't dare to step in.

The walls of the room are pasted with wallpaper, the eyes are snow-white, a wall opposite the door, is a large bookcase, layer by layer, full of books, under the north window is a large desk, on the south window on the big kang, there is also a small desk, there is a pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

I can't see it from the outside, but even the countryman who has never seen it can see the difference in this house.

A room of books, nothing more than that.

Mei Xiaoba looked at the straw sandals under her feet, and her breathing was light.

"Come in." Gui Chongyang entered the house, only to find that Mei Xiaoba did not follow up, and turned around to greet him.

"Otherwise, I'd better be outside, don't get dirty." Mei Xiaoba opened his eyes wide-eyed.

Gui Chongyang lowered his head, didn't he live in a yellow mud land? What's the fear of getting dirty?

When he looked up and saw Mei Xiaoba looking at the bookcase, his eyes were full of longing and awe, Gui Chongyang's heart moved, and said, "Don't be verbose, come in and introduce my Lantern Festival to you." ”

As Gui Chongyang spoke, Lantern Xiao jumped down from the bookcase and fell directly onto Gui Chongyang's shoulder.

"Ancestor, you are not afraid of falling." Gui Chongyang hurriedly hugged and complained.

Lantern Xiao was not as obedient as before, his ears were propped up all of a sudden, his little head was tilted back, and his eyes were wide staring at Gui Chongyang.

Gui Chongyang inexplicably saw a little disgust from it, touched Lantern Xiao's ear and said: "You little conscienceless, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you still dislike people." ”

Seeing Gui Chongyang and the little white cat muttering, Mei Xiaoba went to be restrained, and came over curiously, only to see Lantern Xiao staring at her round eyes, stretching out her paws, and hitting Gui Chongyang's hand fiercely.
