Chapter Ninety-Nine: Follow-up (Part I) (The Third Monthly Pass)

Almighty Cultivation Supreme

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, the four people in the old house of the Gui family got up one after another.

Mei Xiaoba's eyes were swollen into rotten apricots, and she was embarrassed. Meadow took a hot towel and applied it to him for a while, before he felt better.

Obviously, I said last night that I would let Mei Xiaoba want to open it by herself, but now seeing him like this, Mei Duo couldn't bear it, but she didn't know how to solve it.

It was Mei Xiaoba, seeing Mei Duo like this, and said: "Sister, I don't miss home, I just miss my father, and I feel a little uncomfortable." ”

It's not a lie, it's just that there are more "points" that are "a little uncomfortable" than expected.

Mei Duo smiled and said: "People's hearts are long, if you are uncomfortable, you will be uncomfortable, but you must not be uncomfortable for too long." ”

"Well, it's just two days of discomfort." Mei Xiaoba nodded heavily and answered.

Today's breakfast is two rice rice mixed with rice and millet, half a plate of pickled eggs, fried shredded lentils, and shredded cabbage mixed with tofu.

Even though he had known that Gui had eaten well, Mei Xiaoba was still surprised, looking at the salted eggs that had been cut and flowing with oil, and swallowed his saliva.

"Our family eats, but we don't only eat, you and your Chongyang brother are just when they are growing up, don't be picky eaters." Mei set the dishes and chopsticks and said to Mei Xiaoba.

Mei Xiaoba took the dishes and chopsticks and said, "Auntie, what will I do in the future?" You can't eat rice. ”

Mei didn't want to raise Mei Xiaoba into an uncle, and said: "The scattered work at home, if you see it, you will take the lead." ”

"Then I'll go fetch water in the future, don't bother Brother Chun anymore!" Mei Xiaoba immediately said.

The heaviest job in the family is to carry water, the kitchen water tank is four feet high, before because Mei's aunts and nephews are women, the water in this water tank is Gui Chun came to pick it up once on the third day; Later, Gui Chongyang came back, looking thin and sick, even if he wanted to lift water, Gui Chun would not let him, so now the water in the old house is still Gui Chun is mentioning.

Mei is considering Mei Xiaoba's proposal, and it is common for children in the village to help carry water for the family in their teens, but they are not satisfied with half a bucket every time.

Gui Chongyang was beside him, patted his head, he always felt that something had fallen after the old house was built, but now that he reacted, there was still a well missing.

"Auntie, let's dig wells, it's autumn now, and it will be even more inconvenient to draft water in winter in the future." Gui Chongyang Road.

"Digging a well?" Mei hesitated.

It is not a small amount of money to dig a well, although it is not as big as building a house, but it is a few times larger. There are more than 80 families in the village, and only the Du family, the Lin family, the Song family, the Mei family and the Li family next door have wells. The well of the Li family's house was still dug by the Gui family after the house was built; The well of the Mei family was naturally drilled by Mei's parents at the time, but it was cheaper for Mei Tongsheng's family.

"Won't it cost too much?" Mei frowned.

Before, the old house of the Gui family was rebuilt, and it cost twenty or thirty taels of silver, and the villagers did not speculate whether Gui Chongyang brought the silver back, but later there was something to say, the money for this house was from the Mei family, and the wood and bricks were bought by Gui Wu, and everyone's speculation calmed down.

However, the family who asked Mei if he was "remarried" before went silent. Mei gave the land under his name to his niece, and the silver to the Gui family to build a house, and there was no oil and water, so naturally no one cared.

"Although it costs some money, it is a matter of once and for all, and in the future, my aunt and cousin will use cheaper water. There is also the second grandfather and the second grandmother, our long house is taken care of by the second elder a lot, and the nephew has been thinking about how to be filial to the second elder once, and it is just right to dig a well. The second room is about to start repairing the house, and it is cheaper to have a well. Gui Chongyang said.

This is more useful than eating, wearing, and filial piety, and it can also save Gui Chun some effort, after all, the water used by the eldest child in the second room can only rely on Gui Chun alone.

Mei is just reluctant to be in the limelight, and is not a stingy person at hand. Compared with the rich daughters in other places, only compared with the daughters who grew up in the village, Mei's family was rich when he was young, and he was pampered. Later, when he came to the Gui family, after more than ten years of poverty, Mei's did not add to the stinginess of poverty.

Gui Chongyang has been back for more than two months, and he has indeed been taken care of a lot by the second room, Mei Shi thought about it and nodded: "Then choose one day and dig two wells!" ”

Mei Duo was beside her, seemingly serving a bowl to eat, but she was paying attention to the conversation between her aunt and nephew, and she was also happy when she heard that she had finally decided to dig a well.

Gui Wu is about to move back to the town, and only Gui Chun is young and strong in the two rooms, and it is Gui Chun's job to carry water if he doesn't dig a well. It's okay to be slack, but it's hard when it's busy.

The matter has been decided, and Mei Xiaoba is listening to it staggeringly.

Now everyone uses the well at the entrance of the village for water, how many of them have their own? The Gui family not only has to dig wells, but also two at a time, and I don't know how many people envy them.

After breakfast, Gui Chongyang and Mei Xiaoba carried the study and food boxes to the village school.

Mei Xiaoba naturally took off the ridiculous patch clothes before, which was the clothes that Mei Duo sewed for Gui Chongyang before, which was to prevent Gui Chongyang from getting bigger, but it was just right for Mei Xiaoba to wear it now.

Mei Xiaoba's thick eyebrows and big eyes are not ugly, so when she picks it up, she immediately becomes decent.

When Gui Chongyang and Mei Xiaoba entered the village school, the Mengtong people all looked over. Everyone was a little afraid of Gui Chongyang's momentum, and they didn't dare to look at Gui Chongyang, so they all looked at Mei Xiaoba.

Looking at Mei Xiaoba's new clothes, new schoolbags, and decent food boxes, the primary school students faintly felt a little envious.

What is an heir? The elementary school students still don't know much about it, but they only know that they are not the sons of their fathers, but the sons of others.

Mei Xiaoba's mother was black-hearted, not only instigated her husband to beat Mei Xiaoba, but also collected money to "sell" him to another house head as a son. This is the "conclusion" of Mei Xiaoba's succession incident in the mouths of the villagers, and it is also the cognition that primary school students heard from the gossip of their parents.

Daddy doesn't want it, the primary school students originally wanted to laugh at Mei Xiaoba, but seeing that he seemed to be living a better life than before, he couldn't say sarcastic words.

Mei Xiaoba was originally a little uncomfortable, especially when she saw several clan brothers and cousins, but when she looked at Gui Chongyang sitting in the middle and Yang Wu sitting on the other side of Chongyang, she was immediately relieved.

Mei Fuzi came over and saw Mei Xiaoba's dress, first nodded with satisfaction, this is the dress of Mei's children, not to be ashamed of himself; Immediately thought that these clothes were all paid for by Mei's family, and what they couldn't use was their own "blackmail" of the past sixteen taels, and they felt pain again, so they threw their sleeves away angrily.

Mei Xiaoba has been in the private school for a few days, and every time she has seen Mei Tongsheng all kinds of face-making and temper tantrums, from the initial panic and anxiety, to now she is Xuegui Chongyang calm and calm. But he couldn't help muttering in his heart, this "good grandfather" has a black face all day long, and he doesn't have a smile, Xu is master talks like this.

said that Mei Tongsheng returned to the master's room, and the more he pondered, the more he felt sulky.

In the matter of choosing an heir for his nephew, Mei Tongsheng did save a little reputation in front of the clan, but as he sent Mei Xiaoba to the Gui family's old house for the Mei family to raise, the clansmen inevitably had arguments.

Although Mei Tongsheng's cheekiness doesn't take it to heart what others say, he still feels that he has lost.

He gave Mei Xiaoba's father, Mei Qingmu, four taels or three dollars of silver, and planned to "wool out of the sheep", so he took the opportunity to ask for more from Mei's side, and he didn't want any one to owe the clansman to tell Mei's quietly, and in the end Mei's only gave him five taels of silver. After all, it was an extra seven dollars, although Mei Tongsheng regretted it at that time, he still felt that he had earned, but now he felt that he had lost.

Mei's already has the money to buy Mei Xiaoba new clothes and new schoolbags, and he still has money on hand, rather than cheaper a few cubs, isn't it just to honor his uncle.

was coerced by Gui Chongyang once, Mei Tongsheng was originally a little jealous of Mei's aunt and nephew, but now he wants to open it, there is no evidence, does Mei's aunt and nephew really dare to sue and fail? You must know that as long as you get into a lawsuit, it will not only be the reputation of Mei Tongsheng's house, but the entire Mei clan will be implicated. In that case, it is not just his own family that will be offended.

"In the future, I'll have to move around." Mei Tongsheng boasted that he was here, touched his beard, and secretly calculated.
