The north wind is howling, the snow is fluttering, and the sky and the earth are covered in silver.

Gui Chongyang had already changed into a new coat made of lambskin, standing under the eaves, looking curiously at the snow scene outside.

Mei Xiaoba said curiously: "Brother Chongyang, doesn't it snow in the south?" ”

"It's also falling, but it just melts when it lands, and it's not as big as the snow in the north." Gui Chongyang Road.

Mei Xiaoba shook his head and said: "Where is this, the soles are thick, the snow is only big in the wax moon every year, and last year there was one person high, and the door couldn't be opened." ”

Gui Chongyang's eyes widened, and he couldn't imagine what the snow would be like when he was one person tall.

Mei Duo picked up the curtain and came out and took the broom to sweep the snow.

Gui Chongyang and Mei Xiaoba met, and also found a broom to follow the snow.

After the three sisters and brothers finished clearing the snow, Mei's breakfast was also served.

This morning it was noodle soup, with two poached eggs in each bowl and a handful of cabbage leaves scalded on top.

Now in the early winter, everything is withering, and every family has prepared winter vegetables.

Just below the kitchen, a cellar more than one person high was dug and a lot of cabbage, turnips, and dried vegetables dried in the autumn.

If you don't have fresh vegetables in winter, you have to eat these.

When Gui Chongyang was there, he heard about the "Dongzi cuisine" in the north, and described it to Mei's and Mei Duo.

Mei's aunt and nephew were curious, but they didn't make a big deal about it, but just bought a few large flower pots with a width and diameter from the bricklayer in the north of the village, and put them directly in the West House, in addition to planting garlic and onions, they also planted a few pots of leeks, spinach and other live vegetables.

After half a month, the garlic and onions in the flower pot have sprouted, and the leeks and spinach have also emerged, but they can't be eaten yet.

After breakfast, Mei didn't pack the lunch box, and said, "It's getting colder and colder, the food box is easy to get cold, and I'll send it to you at noon." ”

Gui Chongyang and Mei Xiaoba naturally had nothing to say, and went to the village school with their schoolbags on their backs.

*

When I walked to the door of the village school, I heard the sound of children playing.

The elementary school students were not afraid of the cold and divided into several groups to have snowball fights. When Gui Chongyang and Mei Xiaoba came in, they were affected by the pond fish and suffered a snow ball.

The snow ball smashed on Gui Chongyang's body and fell apart, Gui Chongyang hadn't reacted yet, Mei Xiaoba had already thrown down his schoolbag and began to "fight back".

Gui Chongyang flicked the snow on his body, smiled, picked up Mei Xiaoba's schoolbag and went to class.

In the small class classroom, Mei Chen was the only one, holding a book in his hand, but his face was a little dazed.

Seeing Gui Chongyang coming in, Mei Chen stood up suddenly and said, "Gui Chongyang!" ”

Gui Chongyang raised his head and waited for Mei Chen to speak.

Mei Chen walked over, with a bit of mystery and excitement, and whispered: "Gui Chongyang, I persuaded the second grandfather, he went to the yamen today to sue Uncle Shu for 'disobedience'!" ”

"Huh?" Gui Chongyang was a little confused.

"If Uncle Tree is taught a lesson, will the theft case be dismissed?" Mei Chen begged a little.

Gui Chongyang understood, did not answer, and asked, "Does your grandfather know about this?" ”

"Theft" is shameful, but "disobedience" is not shameful?

"All good and filial piety come first, and all evil and fornication come first", Mei Chen's idea of replacing "theft" with "the crime of disobedience" is too child's play.

And where is the yamen so easy to enter?

After the yamen ate the defendant and the plaintiff in the lawsuit, it was Gui Chongyang who knew the county order directly, and Gui Wu did not dare to ignore the small officials below, so he gave a bag of silver to do internal and external dots. When a small person like Mei Ping enters the yamen to file a lawsuit, he will be stripped of a layer of skin.

Mei Chen snorted, "My grandfather...... My grandfather didn't understand, but the second grandfather understood...... It's just that Uncle Tree has learned a lesson, can the crime of theft also be ......?"

Gui Chongyang nodded and said, "If Mei Qingshu and his wife learn a lesson, I don't have to worry about it." ”

The lawsuit is just to teach Mei Qingshu and his wife a lesson, "killing chickens and monkeys", and it doesn't necessarily have to be a confrontation in court.

really got to that point, no matter whether Li Jiang or Mei Xiaoba, who testified, it was not good for the two teenagers. Gui Chongyang is not a selfish person, so he will naturally consider the two of them.

And if the "crime of disobedience" is really filed, it will not be easy for Mei Ping to withdraw the case later, not to mention that the money has been spent, and Mei Qingshu's board has also suffered.

At that time, even if the lawsuit is finally withdrawn, the evil thing of "father suing son" will spread, and the reputation of that house will be completely rotten.

Mei Chen is only nine years old in the end, like a little adult, but he is just a child, seeing Gui Chongyang nodding, he immediately felt that he had put down a big thing, and pursed his lips and smiled.

The naughty boy outside was still frolicking, Gui Chongyang looked at the time leak in front of him, and frowned a little.

It's already the point of morning class, and Mei Tongsheng is still missing.

Where can I stop reading this "three days of fishing and two days of drying nets"? If Mei Tongsheng continues like this, this village school will be abolished.

"Huh? Why hasn't Du Qi come yet? Mei Chen said in surprise.

Just as Yang Wu came in, when he heard this, he said, "I met at the door just now, it seems that I have something to do with Mei's house." Didn't the Master come? Is something wrong with the Mei family? ”

This Mei family is naturally Mei Tongsheng's room.

Mei Chen frowned and said, "Didn't you just finish the happy event, what else is there?" ”

Mei's house is not far from the village school, that is, the front and back streets.

As soon as there was movement in the courtyard of Mei's house, there were already naughty elementary school students lying on the back wall watching the excitement.

*

In the courtyard of Mei's house, luggage and broken chopsticks were scattered on the ground, full of mess.

Du Shi's face was pale, pulling a pair of children, and he couldn't help but tremble.

Mei Tongsheng stood under the eaves, with a blue face, and said, "If you don't want to stay, let the old man go!" The old man is not dead yet, it is not your turn to be a demon for an unfilial woman! ”

Li Shi helped Du Shi to stand at the door, and there was a circle of villagers watching the lively outside the door.

Li has no affection for Du's stepdaughter, but in the end, Du's daughter, there is no reason to bully people in vain. Unfortunately, Dury was going to the town and was not at home, and Li had no choice, so he called his son over to support the scene.

Mei Xiucai was not there in front of her, and the bride was hiding and not showing up.

Li's mind turned, guessed the reason, and said in a good voice: "The master of the family, Erniang has entered the Mei family, waiting for the elderly, raising children, no merit and hard work, if there is anything ignorant, you just ask your son-in-law to be good at discipline, why not make a big move?" ”

This has the reason that the mother-in-law trains the daughter-in-law, haven't heard of whose father-in-law teaches the daughter-in-law? What a big joke.

At this time, Mei An also got the news and arrived on crutches.

Looking at the circle of pointing villagers, Mei An's face darkened, and said: "Scattered, scattered, what's so beautiful, who hasn't stumbled in their lives!" ”

The people who had dealings with the Mei family dispersed when they saw Mei An's words; There are also some people who have no contacts, who can't wait to see a big bustle, and refuse to leave.

"What's going on again?" Mei An asked with a frown.

Mei Tongsheng said angrily: "It's not this unfilial lazy woman, a daughter-in-law, who doesn't know how to be filial to her in-laws, but supports people." A few days after Li entered the door, she was sick. still has evil thoughts in his heart, instigating two little disrespectful elders! ”

In front of everyone's eyes, how dare Du Shi admit the name of "unfilial piety", and said with grievances: "My father-in-law is wronged, Li Shi entered the door diligently, and took the initiative to take over the work in the kitchen, not the daughter-in-law who called people!" ”

Mei Tongsheng was even more annoyed when he heard this: "Li? That's your step-mother-in-law, it's your turn to call by name? ”

Before, Mei Xiucai and his wife were demons when they were serving tea, and they stirred up Huang to "return to the door", and Mei Tongsheng understood the intentions of his son and daughter-in-law, which was not to recognize the "stepmother" of the Li family.

Mei Tong was unhappy, but he was also persuaded by his son. For him, his wife and concubines are all serving by his side, and they are not bad; But for children and grandchildren, stepmothers and stepgrandmothers are very different from mothers and grandmothers.

But Mei Sheng came back yesterday and said right, in the future, children and grandchildren will have their own small days, and only Xiao Li can accompany Mei Tongsheng in his old age. Du Shi is not virtuous and submissive, if he doesn't support Xiao Li, then Xiao Li will be bullied to death.

This morning, because Mei Tongsheng was "newly married", it was the time to be greedy for joy, and after two nights, Xiao Li got up late.

Du Shi was lazy and didn't say anything, and also connived at his son and daughter to make trouble under the main house by taking advantage of the lack of food.

Xiao Li was so ashamed that he didn't dare to come out, but Mei Tongsheng was annoyed and came out to support his stepwife.
