Mei's can't sleep and eat these days, because he is afraid that Mei Tongsheng's father and son will calculate Mei Duo's head. The surname of Mei Duo is Mei, and even if the father and son have not raised her, they are qualified to marry her directly.

The second room of the Mei family only has Mei Duo's bloodline, if it can't be protected, the Mei family will not have the face to see his father and eldest brother when he goes underground.

Gui Wu only thought that Gui Chongyang was quite scheming, but Mei was only grateful here.

Gui Chongyang was a little embarrassed, and whispered: "It's all a family, what is there to thank for, my aunt is outside." ”

Mei nodded tearfully: "Yes, it's a family, it's my aunt who said the wrong thing." ”

It's the appearance of a little white rabbit again, and there is no more vitriolism in the Du family.

Gui Chongyang picked the corners of his mouth, and he became more and more well-behaved.

Gui Wu looked at the two aunts and nephews from the side, and rolled his eyes.

What the hell, my eyes were blocked by eye feces before, how could I think that Mei's cousin was cowardly and easy to bully? Being able to keep his own title deed under the greedy persecution of Mei Tongsheng's father and son, to support the portal as a "widow", and to serve the old and the young, Mei's temperament is far more tenacious than everyone sees.

The two people in front of them are like aunts and nephews.

Meadow heard movement in the room and came out with a curtain.

Seeing Mei's red eyes, Mei Duo couldn't help but feel tight, and became more and more worried, and didn't dare to ask for a while.

"Add vegetables at night!" Mei's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and she couldn't suppress her joy all over her body.

Before Mei Duo could react, Mei Shi shook his hand in the Chinese book: "It's done, your marriage is not in the hands of others, and my aunt is directly in charge!" ”

Gui Chongyang also smiled and said: "There is still a year to go, and my cousin can embroider the dowry!" ”

Mei Duo reacted at this time, only to feel that her heart was about to jump out, and she didn't care about being ashamed, so she took the document and read it again, before she pursed her lips and smiled.

The two women in front of him are both medium-level talents, but this smile makes Gui Chongyang's heart hot. He couldn't help but finally make a request that he had been thinking about for several days: "Auntie, I want to eat rice and white rice at night!" ”

After enduring these few days, Gui Chongyang really couldn't bear it anymore.

Eating one meal or two meals of coarse grains is a concoction, and eating one meal at a time is really difficult to swallow.

Gui Chongyang endured it, believing that Mei also saw it somewhat, so he also steamed steamed buns and pancakes with two and two noodles, but it was also two and two noodles. Gui Chongyang is not very old, but he claims to be a man, he is used to taking care of women and children, and refuses to eat alone.

Gui Chongyang has silver in his pocket, it's not that he didn't think about buying rice and noodles directly to improve his life, but he always felt that it was not good, so he restrained his appetite.

Gui Chongyang's opening attracted the other three people present to look over.

The young man, who usually looks like a little adult, finally showed a little childishness at this time, touched his stomach and said: "The family is not short of money, I will eat better in the future, I will still grow my body, and my cousin will also make up for it, so I can add a little nephew as soon as possible." ”

Mei Duo blushed, glanced at Gui Chongyang, and went to the kitchen to prepare food.

Mei Shi said with a distressed face: "It's all my aunt's fault, I knew that you couldn't get used to it, and she still did it." In the future, if you want to eat, just tell your aunt directly. ”

Gui Chongyang said embarrassedly: "My aunt and cousin can eat, what can't I eat?" I don't know why, I'm hungry these days, and I'm hungry, and I think of white rice, and I have saliva in my mouth. ”

When Mei heard this, he became more and more distressed.

What else could it be? Because of his insistence on keeping filial piety to his father, Gui Chongyang does not eat meat. He couldn't get used to eating those coarse grains, and every time it was a small bowl. He was in his teens, and when he was growing his body, he had no oil and water in his stomach, and he couldn't eat enough food, so he was naturally hungry quickly.

Gui Wu didn't say anything like sending rice and noodles in a big package, but only advised Mei: "The money is not saved, it's a matter of the girl, and the rest is an open source matter." Since Chongyang has returned, the family has the backbone, isn't he talking about being the patriarch? Whether it's Chongyang's shackles or the dowry of the girl, let him worry about it himself! You, who are aunts, also enjoy the blessings of nephews! ”

Gui Chongyang likes to listen to this the most, and really thinks that Gui Wu is a well-informed person, so he nodded busily: "Yes, yes, in the future, although my aunt spends money, I don't have to worry about money." ”

Mei's life is frugal and thrifty, but he is not such a stingy character, since both the uncle and nephew said it, they also nodded and said: "Okay, I listen to Chongyang, just wait to enjoy the blessings of Chongyang, and make white rice tonight!" ”

The food commonly eaten at home is sorghum and millet, but a few catties of white flour and rice are also prepared, waiting for guests to come or make sick meals to eat.

Gui Chongyang was overjoyed, and he was full of anticipation for a while.

Mei opened his mouth to stay with Gui Wu, and Gui Wu shook his head and said, "I'll forget it, your brother and sister are still waiting at home." But taking advantage of the current farming slack, this house should also be cleaned up, last time Chongyang said that he wanted to start again, what does my cousin mean? ”

Repairing a house and building it again are two different things, and the former can cost more or less money; The rebuilding of the house in the back will cost a lot of money, and it is a little eye-catching. Mei was worried and couldn't help but hesitate.

When Gui Chongyang heard this, he immediately looked at Mei Shi and prayed a little: "Auntie, the house is short, it is not ventilated and stuffy, and there are tide insects that bite me so that I can't sleep well......"

This is not a lie, not only because there are many insects, mosquitoes and ants in the house, but also because there is no ice, it is difficult to be sweltering. Gui Chongyang was tossed, and the dark circles under his eyes came out.

Seeing this, Mei immediately put all his worries behind, nodded and said: "Then start again, ......" Speaking of this, he paused and said: "Chongyang is twelve years old this year, and if you have filial piety, you should talk about family affairs, and you have to prepare the house, and you can cover it with fifteen taels of silver!" ”

Mei's family has savings of two taels of money, Gui Chongyang gave ten taels of silver for the family, plus the sixteen taels of silver from Mei Tongsheng today, then Mei Duo's eight taels must not be moved, and the rest of the total is only eighteen taels of silver plus two taels of money, and he was willing to promise to take out fifteen taels to build a house, which can be described as a big deal.

These silvers are naturally enough to build three new houses in the village, but if it is the two houses that Gui Chongyang was worried about before Gai Gui Chongyang, it is naturally far worse.

Gui Wu was curious and couldn't help but look at Gui Chongyang's reaction.

Gui Chongyang's eyes lit up and said, "Where can I use my aunt's silver, don't I still have forty taels?" Flower that. ”

"That silver can't be touched anymore." Mei Zhengse said: "Whether it is a land, or a small shop in the town, you can have an income." ”

Gui Chongyang whispered: "Auntie, in addition to the fifty taels, I also have some silver, so I don't have to be so tight." ”

Mei touched Gui Chongyang's head and said, "How big the head is, how big the hat you wear, the Gui family's days are just about to get up now, and it is not appropriate to be too ostentatious." Even if I built a house this time, my aunt would say that it was built with sixteen taels of silver, so that she could save some tongue. ”

Otherwise, as soon as the news of the dowry of Mei's aunt and nephew comes out, the days to come will not stop, and the matchmakers from ten miles and eight villages will come to the door. What kind of good family can be the kind of person who looks at the dowry and says that he is a daughter-in-law? If you encounter a scoundrel, even if you refuse, you will have revenge.

Mei will not remarry, Mei Duo has a whereabouts for life, so naturally it is better to have more than less.

Gui Chongyang nodded, expressing his understanding of Mei's words, but he still remembered the house with two entrances. However, he also made up his mind, even if he couldn't cover it all at once, he had to plan out all the places, and wait until two years later, when the Gui family was erected, he was not afraid of jealousy, and then added one or two.

Being willing to listen to others and not insisting on one's own opinions is another rare place. Gui Wu saw it in his eyes, and felt a lot in his heart, he could raise such a son, and his cousin was not a fool, if only there was nothing back then, it would be a pity.

Thinking that the old father and mother at home still had a knot in their hearts, and they still rejected Gui Chongyang, Gui Wu said: "Before the old house is rebuilt, first repair the two-bedroom house, and when it is repaired over there, you can move in for a few months, and it will be cheaper to move back when the new house is built." ”

Mei hesitated, Gui Chongyang didn't speak, obviously the aunt and nephew both knew the attitude of the old couple.

Gui Wudao: "Let's see how to live over there first, I have to come here to borrow a few days when I can't repair the house." ”

"It's cheap here, just let my second sister-in-law come and live with us." Mei said happily.

The second room is three main rooms, and two rooms are in the east and west compartments. Even if the house is repaired, it will not be repaired at the same time, most of them will be repaired first and then the wing room.

In that case, the second room itself has to vacate one of the wings to install the things in the room, and also vacate one room for the old couple to live temporarily, Gui Wu and his wife are not easy to move; If Gui Chun comes, he will have to live with Gui Chongyang, which will affect Gui Chongyang's reading, and it will not be convenient to be under the same roof with Mei Duo; The only one who can come out to live is the Yang family.

The Yang family is Mei Duo's mother-in-law after Mei Duo, and the Mei family is willing to let their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have more contact.

The Gui family is just a few people at the moment, Gui Wu hopes to take the opportunity to resolve the knot in his parents' hearts, as long as the two rooms are closer, it doesn't matter who comes to live.

*

Duri is the house, living room.

The previously interrupted banquet was held again, Mei Tongsheng dug up the flesh and felt heartache, and ate most of the pots of wine one after another, his tongue was wooden, and his mouth was chattering: "That's sixteen taels of silver, sixteen taels!" The dead girl took it, and the designated one was held tightly, and she couldn't deduct a penny. I also want ten acres of land, even if I pick up the field and give it to her, it is worth more than forty taels of silver. It's really old, you can see everything, the Gui family is black-hearted, this good docile child has learned badly when he goes in, he wasn't like this before. ”

Du Li is "um", "ah" casually perfunctory, disappreciative in his heart, the Mei family has calculated to tell Mei Duo to the Hong family, it would be strange if the Mei family did not react.

"My silver, I only receive 3,600 yuan and two stone grains from the village school every year, and those 16 taels of silver are a few years' wages!" Mei Tongsheng was still chattering, and his eyes were getting more and more confused.

Du Li was watching attentively, and said softly: "Yes, it's enough to lose, if you can make up for this silver, then the ten acres of land will also be made up, won't it be a loss?" ”

Mei Tongsheng cried and said with a sad face: "Where to make up for it?" I thought that Master Hong would have a big income of dozens of taels, but now it is also in vain. ”

"I'll make it up for you." Dury was saying happily.

Mei Tongsheng had a big tongue, but he still listened to this sentence, and immediately smiled, and said, "Good brother, I know that you feel sorry for me...... You're my brother......"

Du Li was smiling and picked up the wine cup, and said, "Now that I'm happy, then let's go with one of our brothers?" ”

"Let's go, respect my big brother!" Mei Tongsheng held the wine jug, trembled his wrist and poured the wine, and took a dry sip.

"Okay, if you're happy, let's have another one!" This time, it was Du Li who was pouring wine for Mei Tongsheng.

Mei Tongsheng staggered: "Go to the Gui family and the Lin family, and I will recognize the Du family ...... in the future."

Needless to say, the Gui family is an enemy, a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh; The Lin family is another rich family in the village, although they are also outsiders, they can't stand having relatives as officials, no one dares to underestimate them, and their lives are prosperous, which can only make people secretly jealous.

"I take your love, our two families are one family." Du Li was laughing at Mimi and poured Mei Tongsheng another glass of wine.

Mei Tongsheng was already full of nonsense, Du Li just put down the wine jug, got up and took a few pieces of paper, as well as a few silver ingots.

"This is the receipt, you sign and put your fingerprint on it, and the silver will be given to you." Duri is tempting.

Mei Tongsheng didn't need Du Li to say any more, and directly hugged the silver into his arms: "Hey silver, this is my life......

As for the receipt, Mei Tongsheng didn't look at it, for fear that Du Li would regret it, so he directly grabbed the brush, wrote his name crookedly, and happily pressed his handprint, and then hugged the silver ingots, his body was crooked, he fell on the kang, and fell asleep "whirring".

Du Li was putting away the "receipt" in his hand, and glanced at Mei Tongsheng with contempt, if there was no precedent for Mei, he would not have thought of this.

Now it's finally come true, not bad.
