Chapter 19: Good-looking brother
"Sister, who is that good-looking brother in the yard?"
Leaning on his sister's arms, eating the sugar gourd she bought for herself, Xiao Meng Qi stretched out his little fat hand curiously, pointed to Su Shen, who was talking to Yan Zhenwu in the courtyard, and asked Meng Zhen in a low voice.
"He, his name is Su Shen, and he is Sister A's life-saving benefactor." Meng Zhen touched her brother's chubby face, very good, not thin at all, it seems that Uncle Yan has taken good care of this kid.
Xiao Meng Qi's eyes widened, "Life-saving benefactor? ”
Meng Zhen bowed slightly, "Yes, my sister was injured and sick, and he saved my sister's life, otherwise Ah Qi wouldn't have seen her sister." ”
Xiao Meng Qi was suddenly frightened, he stretched out his little fat hand and hugged one of his sister's right hands tightly, "Is that sister okay now?" ”
"It's been around for a long time." Meng Hao touched his brother's head with her left hand, "Ah Qi, don't worry. ”
Little Meng Qi blinked his big watery eyes, carefully looked at Meng Hao several times back and forth, and saw that she did have a good face and a relaxed expression, so he was like a little adult, and he was greatly relieved.
Meng Hao couldn't help laughing, "Ah Qi will go to Uncle Yan and Brother Ah Shen first, okay?" Sister wants to cook you a delicious meal, and I don't have time to play with you now. ”
Meng Qi looked entangled, he wanted something delicious, but he also wanted to stay with Sister A.
Meng Zhen rubbed his head, "Ah Qi is the only little man in our family now, don't you want to help my sister entertain guests?" ”
Meng Qi's little face tensed, and his expression suddenly became serious, "I'll go now, Sister Don't worry, I will definitely entertain Sister A's life-saving benefactor." ”
Meng Hao said "um", and Meng Qi immediately ran out with his little short legs.
Meng Hao smiled slightly, washed her hands and continued to knead her dough.
***
When the three big and one small outside were familiar with each other, Yan Zhenwu began to guide Ah Shen to practice martial arts with great interest, and Meng Zhen finally prepared a large table of delicious food.
There are a total of 10 home-cooked vegetarian dishes, namely cold salad with three shreds, stir-fried spinach, vinegared cabbage, fried vegetarian meatballs, braised tofu, steamed eggplant with garlic, scrambled eggs with zucchini, osmanthus glutinous rice lotus, honey yam, and shredded sweet potato.
The staple food Meng Zhen prepared mille-feuille cakes and white rice porridge, plus a roast chicken and a pound of braised pork that she and Hao Mengyun brought back from outside, and the round table of Hao Mengyun's house was full.
Meat and cold salad with three shreds, steamed eggplant with garlic, Meng Zhen deliberately put it between Yan Zhenwu and Hao Mengyun, and other vegetarian foods were placed in front of Meng Qi, Su Shen and herself respectively according to her personal taste.
Su Shen likes salty food, Xiao Meng Qi likes sweets, and she herself prefers vinegared cabbage and stir-fried spinach.
Meimei ate a meal, and Hao Mengyun put down her chopsticks with a satisfied face.
Although she is not a rich lady, because she has been favored since she was a child, she can't do trivial tasks such as cooking, cooking, sewing and washing.
Even if she was forced to leave her hometown, she had always been taken care of by Yan Zhenwu, so except for dancing and swords, this girl really couldn't handle any work.
Although Yan Zhenwu is slightly stronger than her, the food he makes is not delicious, at best, it can only be said to be cooked and not unpalatable, and it is completely incomparable with Meng Zhen's craftsmanship.
During the period after the Meng family returned to their hometown, the two of them always ate the breakfast they bought, the lunch and dinner made by Yan Zhenwu, so Hao Mengyun even dreamed of missing the good cooking skills of Wu Shi and Meng Zhen.
Seeing that she was full of food and drink, lazily spreading on the chair and not wanting to move, Meng Hao couldn't help but be amused and helpless, she put down her chopsticks, "Tomorrow I want to take Ah Qi to my father's grave." ”
Hao Mengyun, who was thinking about eating, remembered that Meng Hao had gone to chase and kill the guys who killed Meng Qingze's family before, and her upper body leaned forward slightly, "So you have already helped your father and mother avenge it?" ”
Meng Hao bowed slightly, "It's a pity that it's inconvenient for me to bring those beasts to my father's grave, so that my father and mother can see what happened to them now." ”
Hao Mengyun comforted her, "Your father and mother must have been watching your brothers and sisters in the spirit of heaven, so even if you don't bring those things that are inferior to pigs and dogs to their graves, they will definitely be able to see your filial piety." ”
Meng Hao sighed and touched Meng Qi's head, which was red and a little wilted, "Then I'll go buy incense, candles, paper money, and wine offerings later." ”
Yan Zhenwu hesitated for a moment, "Won't it be a problem for you and Ah Qi to go back to Mengjiazhuang now?" If those clansmen of the Meng family want to adopt you, and then fight for the property left by your father and mother under your banner..."
"The things left by my father and my mother have long been drawn to their house by Patriarch Meng. They bought off the people in the county government and directly attributed all my family's property to the Meng clan on the grounds that my family had no livelihood. ”
Meng Hao briefly told the news she got in Mengjiazhuang, and then told everyone about the place where her father and mother were buried, "Besides, the cemetery of the Meng family is not in Mengjiazhuang, we can completely bypass Mengjiazhuang and drive the carriage directly to this mountain." Now that it's not a festival, we shouldn't meet the Meng clan people who come to the mountains to sweep the graves. ”
Yan Zhenwu put his mind at ease, "Then I'll rent a carriage and come back later, and tomorrow I will accompany you to Mengjiazhuang to go to the grave." ”
Hao Mengyun was very angry, she clenched her hands into fists, "Sure enough, it is a beast thing that is not as good as pigs and dogs, robbing other people's property, and their hands and feet can be so sharp!" ”
Meng Qi was taken aback by her sudden anger.
Meng Hao hurriedly hugged her younger brother into her arms, "Don't be afraid, my aunt is not angry with us." ”
Little Meng Qi was lying in Meng Hao's arms, his right hand tightly clutching one of Meng Hao's sleeves, but his two big clear black eyes secretly looked at Hao Mengyun, who was still angry.
Meng Hao held her brother's chubby hand with her backhand, "Master, calm down, Ah Qi is still young, don't scare him." ”
Hao Mengyun hurriedly tried to make her expression warm and lovely, but there was inevitably a little anger in her tone, and she said to Meng Hao: "Why aren't you in a hurry at all? Everything in your house is greedy by others, how will you and Ah Qi live in the future? ”
Meng Hao was very calm, "I can hunt, fish, and do business, and I can always live my life." As for my family's land, shops, and houses, when I have my hands free, I will definitely let them eat whatever they want, and they will spit it out again as much as they give me. ”
Although Meng Hao's body is still young, the soul hidden in her is a real adult woman.
Before being picked up by Meng Qingze and his wife back to the Meng family, the real little Meng Zhen had already died of a serious illness, and when Meng Qingze found her, her inner soul had been replaced by another person from modern society.
