Chapter 162: "Fang Neighbor" (The First Shift Asks for a Monthly Pass)
Mei Duo was in a good mood, Gui Chun had a regular business life in the future, and he watched the Du family eat deflated.
The Du family sold not only the land, but also the prestige in Mujia Village. With the Gui family buying land in front, the villagers also knew that the Du family was not indestructible.
People are born by their fathers and mothers, but Mei Duo lost her father and mother in her infancy, and it would be a lie to say that she has no regrets in her heart. Not to mention others, if her father and mother were still there, her grandparents would not have passed away one after another, and her aunt would not have become a floating person, so she could only entrust the Gui family.
Gui Chun is eighteen this year, which is not small, and when Mei Duo and Lu are next year, the two will get married.
Mei Duo's dowry was almost ready, but her heart became more and more uneasy. She is not for herself, but for raising her aunt who grew up like mother and daughter.
Now it seems that Gui Chongyang is a person who values affection and righteousness, and Mei Xiaoba looks like a kind-hearted person, both of them seem to be able to become Mei's dependence, and they can provide for Mei's pension regardless of anyone, but in fact it is not.
Although the man is the head of the family, the family depends on the woman for his life.
If these two little ones are supple and virtuous in the future, they will not dislike their aunts; What if you have a bad personality and dislike your aunt?
Mei Duo had been worried about this before, but today when she saw that Gui Chongyang had 600 acres, she suddenly became enlightened.
If the life of the Gui family is tight, it is an eyesore to eat alone; But the days of the Gui family's room are up, what is one more person and one less?
Mei Duo dried her clothes and saw a dying impatiens in the corner of the yard, and couldn't help but be interested. She turned and went into the kitchen and grabbed a small bowl.
The impatiens were crimson, light purple, and pale pink, and the plums picked out the same color, picked the petals, filled a small half bowl, and went to the backyard to pick many eggplant leaves, and then went into the Westinghouse.
Alum is placed in a small bowl, pounded with the petals, and then covered with a fingernail cover, wrapped in eggplant leaves, and it is inconvenient to tie the silk thread with one hand.
Mei happened to come back from the second room, and when she saw her niece tinkering with these, she stepped forward to help tie the silk thread, and said, "This impatiens have been planted for a few years, and I haven't seen you toss, why do you remember it at this time?" ”
Mei Duo leaned on Mei Shi and smiled: "Auntie, I'll dye your nails too, right?" ”
Mei Shi laughed and said, "This is your little girl's play, what did I do." ”
Mei Duo turned sideways and stared at Mei Shi, a pair of apricot eyes were round, and she was silent for a long time.
Mei Shi was stared at with straight hair, touched his face and said, "Rubbed ashes?" ”
Before changing the boundary monument, the second room prepared a meal to entertain the Zhang family, and Mei went over to help.
"My aunt has become younger." Meadow was surprised.
The aunt and nephew lived and ate together every day, and they didn't pay attention to it before, but after a careful look, Mei Duo found that her aunt was several years younger.
Mei Shi didn't believe it, shook his head and said, "What did you say?" It's the same as before. ”
Seeing that she didn't believe it, Mei Duo went to find a mirror and handed it over: "Aunt doesn't believe it, look at it yourself, her face is smooth!" ”
Mei Shi was stuffed with a mirror in his hand, and he didn't take it seriously in his heart, but he was stunned in front of the mirror. It's not that she found that she suddenly "rejuvenated", but that she found that her face had changed.
Mei's eyebrows originally had deep "Sichuan lines", looking at the face with a little sadness, slightly older than the actual age, dark yellow complexion, and tired eyes; Now it is peaceful, and the complexion is also applied every day because Gui Chongyang bought facial fat, and it looks a lot whiter and tenderer.
In addition, Mei is a maid after all, she has never given birth, and she is still a girl, she looks like she is in her twenties, a few years younger than her actual age, and compared with the original old and tired appearance, the contrast is very obvious.
It seems that there have been many years when he has not been in the mood to look in the mirror, Mei Shi first sighed in his heart, then smiled with relief, put down the mirror, and said: "It will always get better and better day by day." ”
Mei's biggest worry before was that Du Li was making another trick against the Gui family, but after today, he had to weigh Li Zheng to see if he could really scare the Gui family.
With these 600 acres of land in front of him, Mei couldn't say anything to let Gui Chongyang guard against "Senior Brother Xu" again.
Money is the best touchstone, although these 600 acres of land were bought by Gui Chongyang, but if it weren't for Senior Brother Xu, where would the Du family sell the land obediently.
With Tongzhou land so sought-after, how many eunuchs can't buy land, if the Gui family hadn't met Senior Brother Xu, and Du Li was taking the initiative to sell land because of offending, there would be no place to buy land.
Although Senior Brother Xu had a lot of temptations for the rest of the Gui family, he loved Gui Chongyang. This is Mei's impression of Senior Brother Xu, and naturally understands that Xiao Chongyang will have an extra layer of protection in the future.
Mei's hanging heart is really down-to-earth.
This sentence is true.
The aunt and nephew looked at each other and smiled, even Mei Xiaoba's side had nothing to worry about, Gui Qiu asked Mei Xiaoba to learn to cook after becoming literate, and the aunt and nephew had already heard about it, and they both raised their hands in favor.
Mei Xiaoba is different from Gui Chongyang, he is just an ordinary farmer, and he does not have half an acre of land under his name, and it is not a good thing for Mei Xiaoba to blindly read his heart and read his heart high.
It's different if you learn a craft, and with the capital to settle down, you can eat enough in the future.
Both the aunt and nephew felt steady, and they heard someone outside cheerfully saying, "Sister, what are you doing to pick flowers?" ”
It was Mei Xiaoba's voice, and the aunt and nephew glanced at each other, feeling weird, and they both got off the kang and came out.
Isn't the "sister" in Mei Xiaoba's mouth Mei Duo? But Mei Duo is in the house, who is the "sister" who picks flowers?
In the courtyard, Mei Xiaoba was still standing stupidly with a puzzled face, Gui Chongyang stepped forward in three steps and two steps, and pulled the person who was about to climb over the wall.
"Oops!" A figure in a skirt fell from the wall.
The man had a snow-blue skirt with pink half-sleeves, and his hair was scattered, so he couldn't see his face.
Gui Chongyang stepped forward, only feeling very weird.
This man was dressed and looked very familiar.
Mei Xiaoba followed, and said with a worried face: "Sister, why do you want to climb over the wall?" It's not a fall, it's scary! ”
"Chongyang, what's going on?" Mei took Mei Duo out and was surprised to see the figure on the ground.
Gui Chongyang's gaze fell on Mei Duo behind Mei Shi, and then looked at the people on the ground, knowing why he looked familiar before.
The dress of the earthly people is very similar to Mei Duo, that is, the unmarried woman's hair braids are also the same as Mei Duo.
Mei Xiaoba was shocked, pointed at Mei Duo, and then pointed at the person on the ground: "Isn't it my sister?" Who's that? ”
Gui Chongyang looked up at the wall next door, who else could climb over the wall to enter the old house of the Gui family, and run to the Li family if something happened?
When rebuilding the Gui family's old house before, Gui Chongyang found that the second grandson of the Li family had a problem with his mother, that is, he liked to lie on the wall and peep at the construction site of the Gui family's old house.
Needless to say, Qian Shi was a water-based poplar woman, and there were a few serious guests in the village, and she drooled when she saw a strong man.
Li Jiang, who is small, actually reacted with his mother, looking at the village and drooling.
Gui Chongyang is not very old, he can read a lot of books, and he also knows a thing or two about male style, but he only does it ordinary, and he doesn't take it seriously.
There is a kind of man in this world, not to mention boys and girls, and they also love to dress up as daughters, named "Xianggu", a prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River, and a special "Xianggu Tangzi". But it was a land of wind and dust, like Li Jiang, who picked himself up at home and dressed up as his daughter, Gui Chongyang was still the first time to see him, so he didn't think of Li Jiang for a while, so he directly pulled people down.
Seeing that Gui Chongyang didn't answer, Mei stepped forward and was stunned when he saw Li Jiang's dress.
Although I don't know whose daughter it is, seeing "her" lying on the ground with her hair in embarrassment, Mei couldn't bear it, and bent down to help people up, but was stopped by Gui Chongyang.
"Auntie, I'm still coming!" After that, Gui Chongyang said to the people on the ground: "Are you okay?" But did you fall? ”
If Gui Chongyang hadn't pulled people just now, he wouldn't have fallen people. The wall of the Gui family's old mansion was newly built when the house was started, and it was five feet high.
Gui Chongyang is not a ruthless person, and he is afraid of breaking people.
The man grabbed a handful of impatiens in his hand and scattered a lot of them around.
Ren can see that this "thief" actually entered the courtyard of the Gui family in order to steal the petals of the impatiens.
Mei was still thinking about whose daughter in the village was so bold, the man had already raised his head, tears rolled in his eyes, and he choked up: "It hurts......"
Which is not the second grandson of the Li family?
Except for Gui Chongyang, whose faces did not change, the other three all changed their expressions greatly, looking at the person in front of them with disbelief on their faces.
