Chapter 180: Disappointed Gui Chongyang
After all, in October, when Gui Chongyang and Li Jiang arrived at Mujia Village, the sky was already dark.
Mei stood at the door and watched, and was relieved until he saw the two figures.
In the afternoon, when Gui Chongyang was supposed to return, there was no one to see, and Mei began to feel uneasy, regretting that he did not go with Gui Chongyang.
No matter how sensible Gui Chongyang usually is, he is still a child in the end; Although Li Jiang is slightly two years older, he is shy and afraid of life, and he is not able to take care of things.
Gui Chongyang saw Mei's, walked a few steps quickly, and said, "It's strangely cold, my aunt is waiting outside." ”
Now it is early winter, the day is fine, there is no cold in the sun, and it is cold in the morning and evening.
Mei said with a smile: "I just came out and stood up, it's cold, let's come into the house, the food is ready." ”
Gui Chongyang turned his head and looked at Li Jiang.
This is all a meal for dinner, Li Jiang helped the Gui family during the day today, and he should have been left to eat at the Gui family, but in that case, Li Jiang's dealings with the Gui family would inevitably fall into the eyes of the Li family.
Li Jiang handed the basket in his hand to the Jiang family, and the two packets of sugar pot helmets and broad beans were not left, and said, "Aunt Mei, I'll go home first, and then Ming'er will find Chongyang to play with Xiaoba." ”
Mei hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Then go to your house, the elders of the province are worried." ”
Li Jiang answered and turned around.
Mei's aunt and nephew returned to the courtyard.
Seeing that the courtyard was deserted and there was no movement in the wings, Gui Chongyang said, "Cousin, they haven't come back yet?" Shall I pick it up? ”
Mei Duo picked up the curtain and came out, snorting softly: "What to pick up?" The reunion of people's grandchildren and grandchildren can't say that no one is happy. ”
"Do'er!" Mei shook her head disapprovingly at Mei Duo.
Mei Duo puffed up angrily: "Why can't you say it, where is there such a reason?" Before Xiaoba was bullied by his stepmother, they disliked Xiaoba, for fear that Xiaoba would be in their house, and now they don't need to be eaten or worn by Xiaoba, they want to be a good uncle and a good aunt? Yes, it was shameless, my aunt endured it very much, and went directly to Grandpa An to talk, and asked him if the matter of the succession counted? Or do you want us to help others raise sons and grandchildren? In the end, I was already unconsciously red.
Mei is nominally a "married daughter" and does not need multiple heirs and nephews in her mother's family to support her old age; On the contrary, Mei Duo is here, without a father and mother, and the relationship with his cousins is also estranged, he can be raised in the Gui family, but he can't take the Gui family's house as his maiden home after getting married.
The reason why Mei agreed to Gui Chongyang's proposal to pass on the heir of his deceased brother was not only for the sake of the ancestors, but also for Mei, who could have a maiden family in the future.
Mei Duo didn't think that Mei Xiaoba was here, so she could give herself much confidence, but she also treated Mei Xiaoba as a brother in the past two months. Mei Xiaoba's body is full of Mei Duo's needlework inside and out.
Today, I went to Mei Tongsheng's house to have a drink, and the two sisters and brothers went happily, but when they were about to go home in the afternoon, Uncle Mei Xiaoba blocked Mei Xiaoba, and used the excuse that Old Man Mei was not comfortable to take Mei Xiaoba over.
Mei Duo was unhappy at that time, but she was a junior in the end, so it was not good to reject Uncle Mei directly, so she counted on Mei Xiaoba.
I don't want Mei Xiaoba to hold a grudge, I don't remember being slapped a few days ago, I heard that the old man was uncomfortable and missed his grandson, so he greeted Mei Duo and followed Uncle Mei.
How many people watched, pointed and said anything.
Mei Duo didn't care about what others said, but she was also indignant, not only angry at Uncle Mei's repetition, but also angry at Mei Xiaoba's incompetence.
Listening to Mei Duo's words, Gui Chongyang couldn't help frowning and glanced at Mei Shi.
Mei Duo complained and complained, but did not mention the matter of the Gui family's thief today, so she didn't know about it. However, with her angry appearance now, if she knew that the Mei family had even done it as a thief for the sake of Fangzi, I am afraid that she would immediately go to the Mei family to make trouble.
Mei Shi saw Gui Chongyang's inquiry, and shook his head slightly.
Uncle Mei directly robbed people like this, maybe he was weak-hearted, but it was also another kind of unscrupulousness. Mei Xiaoba is generous, but it would be stupid to be generous to everyone.
Who can please everyone?
Mei Xiao's eightfold affection was an advantage before, but now it is annoying to look at it like this. In addition, although his uncle and aunt were not good to him, his grandparents had pitied this little grandson who had no own mother before, and they were a little partial to him, and he missed his grandparents the most in his heart. In the future, Uncle Mei, as long as he plays the banner of Mei Ping and his wife, he will be able to fool Mei Xiaoba again and again like today.
For the first time, Gui Chongyang regretted his previous rash proposal, he was the most tired of trouble, but he found himself a big problem.
Gui Chongyang's face sank, and he said to Mei Duo: "Cousin, do you believe me?" ”
Mei Duoyuan was still indignant, and couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this.
"Although my cousin is not surnamed Gui, she grew up in the Gui family, and she was raised by my aunt herself, so I will treat my cousin as my own sister in my heart! My cousin was before she got married, and so was my cousin after she got married. Gui Chongyang is colorful.
Mei's aunt and nephew were a little surprised, Gui Chongyang was young and old, and he was not a person who liked to talk about everything, and there were very few times when he made a solemn promise like today.
When it came to getting married, Mei Duo was a little embarrassed and said, "Why do you say this?" Who would doubt that you can't do anything to me? Having said this, I couldn't help comparing Gui Chongyang's cousin with Mei Xiaoba's brother, and I had to admit in my heart that if I really encountered something in the future, most of the people I could rely on would be Gui Chongyang.
Mei Shi understood, frowned slightly, and muttered, "Where did it get to this point?" ”
A few people were silent, and they saw the door being pushed open with a "squeak", and Mei Xiaoba tiptoed in.
The three of them all looked over, Mei Xiaoba was startled when she saw this, but her eyes flickered, and she didn't dare to look up to see people.
Mei Duo snorted coldly: "Now you know that your heart is empty? When I followed them just now, how did I mess around? ”
Mei Xiaoba's face flushed, and she snorted for a while before she drooped her head and said, "Uncle I said that my grandfather is uncomfortable, and I don't feel at ease if I don't take a look......"
Meadow sneered, but didn't say anything more.
Filial piety comes first, Uncle Mei can use the old man as a cover, but Mei Duo is unwilling to talk about the old man.
"How's the old man? Your uncle is looking for you for this? Gui Chongyang asked lightly.
Mei Xiaoba said: "It's just that I went up the mountain yesterday and saw the wind, and some of my heads hurt ......" The latter question was not answered.
He was not a scheming child, and now his eyes flickered with an uneasy look, and even Mei Duo noticed that something was wrong.
"Did your uncle encourage you to talk about the tenant land again? Or is it the one who agitated you? "Meadow doesn't know about the day, and that's what she can think of.
Mei Xiaoba hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no!" ”
Mei Duo said: "Anyway, don't be a big fool, don't listen to what others say!" You have taken them as flesh and blood, but they may not. ”
Mei Xiaoba sneered, but did not nod.
Mei Duo only felt bored, and said with a drooping little face: "Whatever you want, you will have a long memory if you suffer!" ”
Gui Chongyang watched coldly and didn't interject, but he remembered Gui Wu's words and knew that today's things couldn't be good.
The Mei family is obviously not afraid, and the intention of calling Mei Xiaoba over is mostly because of the iron wrench left in the Gui family.
Although I don't know what they say, Mei Xiaoba's appearance has obviously made a decision.
Gui Chongyang lowered his eyes, his mood was complicated, he was a little disappointed, and he was faintly relieved.
Mei looked at Mei Xiaoba and didn't speak; When looking at Gui Chongyang, the aunt and nephew glanced at each other, and they were a little heavy.
Mei went to the kitchen and came out with a meal and beckoned a few small ones to eat.
Mei Xiaoba touched the back of her head and said, "I just ate it." ”
"It's really the sun coming out in the west! Isn't your aunt still thinking about letting you steal the recipe? Meadow said casually.
"No, no, she mentioned it before, my grandfather has already scolded her." Mei Xiaobadao, with a hint of maintenance in her words.
Mei frowned, and Gui Chongyang looked under the dinner table.
There was a hole in the table, but it was not visible because the tablecloth was covered with it.
After picking up the iron wrench outside the wing room today, Gui Chongyang's ghost envoy did not put it in the study where he usually put things, but quietly put it in the table hole.
At that time, he didn't think about it carefully, in fact, he also thought in his heart that Uncle Mei's family might use the possibility of Xiao Hachixun's wrench, so he should take precautions.
Mei's aunt and nephew and Gui Chongyang sat down, and Mei Xiaoba used the excuse of washing up and leaving the main room.
Mei Duo picked up the rice bowl, only to find that Mei and Gui Chongyang did not move their chopsticks. The two aunts and nephews looked very serious.
Mei Duo put down her job and couldn't help regretting it, and said: "I'm all blindly worried, so I just said a few words, aunt and Chongyang, don't worry, Xiaoba is already a teenager, and I already know it's a good thing!" ”
Gui Chongyang didn't speak, stood up, and looked at Mei.
Mei sighed, followed the starting point, and said, "Go and see, there is no reason to force yourself to be a relative." Either way, it's his own choice......"
