Meng Laosan stayed that night, and when he got up early the next day, Meng Tao asked him to wash his face and go to the hall for breakfast.

Do you have food if you don't work? Meng Laosan is not used to it, but it is all cooked, and it will be wasted if he doesn't eat it, and his stomach is empty here, so he can only eat.

The educated youths also have to help other people's families carry wood and cut grass, and they don't have to make breakfast, but go to other people's houses to eat.

The two cousins sat at the table of eight immortals, each with a large bowl of white rice, a bowl of cabbage soup and a salted duck egg.

Meng Laosan was uneasy: How can you eat so well? This is all his cousin's rations, and if he eats them, maybe his cousin will have to go hungry for a few meals, and he is here to work, not to take his cousin's rations.

"Sister, brother is not hungry, let you eat these hot at noon and evening."

Meng Laosan was about to get up and leave after speaking, but Meng Tao pulled him to sit down: "Eat quickly, it won't taste good if it's cold." There is enough food to eat, you can rest assured. When I left the Tian family, the team sent the rations to myself, I work every day, and the work is quite a lot, in addition, the educated youths do not live in my house for nothing, and the team will subsidize me to give me more food. ”

Meng Laosan listened, then sat down honestly, he found that his cousin's strength was quite strong, so he grabbed his sleeve with a small hand, and he couldn't break free.

Pick up the chopsticks to eat, as soon as you eat, you can't stop your mouth, the white rice is steamed, soft and chewy, the more you chew, the sweeter it is, the cabbage soup is delicious and refreshing, the salted duck egg he wanted to save, the cousin just knocked open the plug to him, the taste, better than the meat of the banquet!

Meng Laosan has never eaten any banquets since he was a child, and he rarely has the opportunity to eat meat at home, Geng Liuju is shrewd, he loves other children and grandchildren, and he can't take his turn to have meat, but he is occasionally sent to the infrastructure construction site by the production team, and there are a few pieces of braised pork to eat at the construction site.

A bowl of rice planed to eat halfway, half of the sausage was exposed at the bottom, Meng Laosan took a moment, and hurriedly used chopsticks to coerce it to give to his cousin to eat, Meng Tao blocked it: "It's in your bowl, I don't want to eat your saliva, I have it!" ”

Meng Laosan saw that there was indeed a sausage at the bottom of his cousin's bowl, so he took it back embarrassedly, took a bite and chewed it, and actually shed tears.

Meng Tao: "......"

"What's wrong with you, cousin? Isn't it tasty? ”

"Delicious!"

So it's so delicious that you cry? Meng Tao couldn't help but laugh.

Meng Laosan wiped a handful of tears and choked up: "Sister, my brother didn't come to see you before, and you are so good to your brother." ”

"Then you will often come to see me in the future, we are brothers and sisters, and we must support each other."

"Well, definitely!" Meng Laosan nodded heavily.

In the novel, Meng Taohua was framed by Wang Shuifeng's mother and daughter, and her reputation became a broken shoe, and the old Meng family in Liuzhuang, Naliang Commune, was even more disdainful of recognizing her, if it weren't for Geng Caiyue's elopement with someone later, making the old Meng family a laughing stock, Meng Laosan would not have been "assigned" to Linshui Village to inherit Meng Shengli's incense, and after Meng Laosan came, Meng Taohua was less beaten by Shi Datou.

In this village, Meng Taohua was spurned and despised by everyone, which is equivalent to being abandoned by the whole world, only Meng Laosan still respects her, protects her, and will beat Shi Datou fiercely for her, Meng Taohua died of illness, Meng Laosan did not let Shi Datou be sent to his hometown cemetery in the mountains, but made the decision to put Meng Taohua next to Meng Shengli, and the grandfather and grandson depended on each other before his death, and Taohua could still get the protection of his grandfather after death.

Based on this alone, Meng Laosan deserves Meng Tao's kindness to him, after all, she is now Meng Taohua.

After breakfast, Meng Laosan circled around the small courtyard of Meng Tao's house twice, and then checked inside and outside the house, and saw that the doors and windows of the courtyard were very firm and neat, and the firewood in the courtyard was piled into a hill, and he was relieved.

asked Meng Tao what else she had to do? Meng Tao didn't want him to go back to Liuzhuang so soon to let Geng Liuju support him, so he said that he needed to do some fine work in a woman's house, and asked Meng Laosan to work in the production team instead of her, and went into the mountain to carry wood for two days.

This Meng Laosan is happy, he has strength.

Bao Shunfeng met Meng Laosan, asked him about the situation of the old Meng family in Liuzhuang, and told him to come and walk around more in the future and take care of his cousin.

Linshui Village soon knew that Meng Taohua had a cousin coming.

Meng Laosan followed the team up the mountain to carry wood for two days, and also heard about Meng Tao's glorious deeds of fighting wild boars, he was frightened, but also very proud of his cousin.

Meng Tao was at home, thinking that Meng Laosan would come often in the future, and he couldn't sleep on the door panel every time he came, so he cleaned the back half of the hall, carefully wiped the bed frame and old furniture left by Meng Shengli with a wet rag, opened the low cabinet, and found that there was a set of military-colored clothes and pants inside, a semi-new black cotton coat, neatly folded, and a pair of brand-new unworn rubber-soled shoes, which Meng Shengli stored before his death, fortunately it had not been discovered by Wang Shuifeng and Tian Xianglan, otherwise it would not be Meng Tao's turn to see.

It can just be worn by Meng Laosan.

continued to rummage through the cabinet, found a wooden box, opened it, and saw a few photos first, including the group photo of the three that Meng Tao had seen in Liu Jianxin, and the other photos had Meng Shengli, and one was a group photo of two young men and women, looking like a couple, I didn't know each other, Meng Tao was not interested. took out the photo, there were a few medals below, as well as some certificates and letters, Meng Tao didn't go through the letters, but only carefully picked up the medals, looked at them with reverence, and learned that Grandpa Meng had spent time in the regular army, not only participated in the guerrillas as he said.

Why didn't you tell Meng Taohua about this? Meng Tao couldn't figure it out, so she didn't want to, so she still closed the box and continued to keep it.

Meng Laoshan carried wood in Linshui Village for two days, and followed everyone to beat stones and repair the village road for three or four days, he worked diligently and steadfastly, and he liked Bao Shunfeng, and the young students of Linshui Village also got along, everyone persuaded him to live longer, but the production team had no work to do, and Meng Laoshan was ready to go home.

Meng Tao sent him to the commune to take a car, Meng Laosan didn't send it at first, it was cold outside, the north wind was blowing, why let his cousin follow, Meng Tao insisted, saying that he would go to the highway to buy some small things by the way, and the brother and sister went out together.

Meng Laosan had a very good time in Linshui, but he was worried that he had eaten too much, his cousin was so good to him, every meal was full of oil and water, mixed grain steamed buns, high-grain porridge, cabbage soup, stewed potatoes with oil residue, salted radish, everything was extremely delicious, he was full these days, and he felt a lot stronger, Meng Laosan was grateful to his cousin, and secretly thought that next time he would come again, it would be good to be able to carry some rations, but the milk would not agree.

I only ask the master, if the master does not agree, then, go up the mountain to dig traps, see if I can hit a few pheasants and hares or something, and make up for my cousin, I heard that my cousin suffered a loss in the Tian family before, and the Tian family is really hateful! If he had come earlier, would the Tian family dare to divorce his cousin? However, now that my cousin is back, I feel more comfortable in my own home, and I will marry a better one in the future, his cousin is handsome and capable and so kind, and I am afraid that I will not be able to get married?

Meng Laosan was still wearing the same set of clothes when he left, but there was an extra sweater vest inside, the weather was too cold, it was much warmer with this vest, the coats sent by the educated youths and the clothes left by the third grandfather, he wore them and washed them, put them in the cabinet of the third grandfather, and wear them next time.

He knew that after those clothes were brought back, they would definitely be taken away by the milk and given to the other brothers, if they were earned by himself, it didn't matter, but the cousin gave them, and the cousin could only wear them by himself, and he couldn't give them away, so he had to put them away, and no one would give them away.
