After saying goodbye to Shen Feng, Meng Hao and Su Shen drove the carriage to Hao Mengyun's house.

Hao Mengyun didn't expect these two children to come to the county seat so early, she welcomed Su Shen and Meng Zhen into the courtyard with a surprised face, and then climbed over the wall to the next yard to notify Yan Zhenwu and Xiao Meng Qi to come to her house.

Yan Zhenwu was taking Xiao Meng Qi to learn to write big characters, and when he heard Hao Mengyun say that Su Shen and Meng Zhen had come to the county seat, Xiao Meng Qi threw down the brush and was about to go down to the kang.

Afraid that he would accidentally fall on himself, Yan Zhenwu hurriedly scooped his chubby little body into his arms.

The two followed Hao Mengyun over the wall together, and then Xiao Meng Qi saw Su Shen and Meng Zhen who were moving things to Hao Mengyun's hall and stove room respectively.

"Sister! Brother Su! The little fat baby was not honest when he was held by Yan Zhenwu, he waved his two little hands together, one stretched out to Su Shen, and the other reached out to Meng Hao.

Meng Hao smiled and turned around, "Ah Qi! ”

Su Shen also walked out of the hall at this time, he and Meng Hao greeted Yan Zhenwu together, everyone exchanged a few words, and then began to pack up their things together.

Meng Hao and Su Shen brought a lot of things this time, and a few people worked together to pack up about a quarter of an hour, and those things finally returned to you.

Yan Zhenwu boiled water and made tea, Hao Mengyun took out a few snacks from home, and Meng Zhen and Su Shen washed a bunch of various fruits they brought.

Finally, everything was over, and everyone began to eat and drink and chat.

Meng Hao told Hao Mengyun and the others that she and Su Shen were going to stay in the county seat for a few more days this time.

Hao Mengyun, Yan Zhenwu and Xiao Meng Qiju were all overjoyed.

Meng Zhen said again that she had brought four hundred taels of silver this time, "... Please Uncle Yan continue to help me pay attention to my family's original fields and shops. ”

This is Meng Zhen's greatest wish at present.

After solving the problem of food and clothing, the one thing Meng Hao wanted to do the most was to get all the things left by her father and mother back to Meng Qi's name as soon as possible.

Yan Zhenwu put away the four silver tickets that Meng Hao handed him, "Don't worry, as long as there is news, I will immediately ask someone to run to the village." ”

Meng Hao bent her knees slightly, "Then Uncle Lao Yan will have to worry a lot." ”

***

On the morning of August 16, Meng Zhen and Su Shen took a lot of things that Hao Mengyun had bought for them, and drove back to Yulin Village in an early carriage.

In just a few days, their home in Yulin Village already has a lot of things.

The sun-dried vegetables, mushrooms, wild fruits, and nuts were piled up, and the dried wild vegetables, grass, and straws were also neatly stacked by Guo Yang, Second Uncle Guo, and Guo Song in the empty utility room of the Su family.

Meng Zhen was very moved.

Before she had time to Zhang Luo for the rations of those living creatures at home, Aunt Guo's family already wanted to be there and did it before her.

Looking at Guo Yang, a black boy who was tired and lost a little weight but had a particularly bright smile on his face, Meng Hao couldn't help but rejoice again, glad that he had accepted such a hard-working, capable, and kind-eyed apprentice like him.

"You helped me send these to your second uncle's house, and said that I specially asked you to send them to thank their father and son." Meng Zhen said as she handed over a basket containing a roast chicken, a pound of braised pork, a small jar of osmanthus wine, a cyan muslin and four pounds of cotton rolled over.

Guo Yang was so frightened that he took two steps back, and his hands were directly behind his back, "Master, you can't do it, you can't do it." My second uncle just saw that I couldn't be busy alone, so they came over to help me when I didn't have a job, no, no, no......"

I don't want you to throw money and give so many things to thank them.

"I know." Meng Hao smiled at him, "Second Uncle Guo's family are all kind-hearted people, but I can't let their father and son get up early and work late for so many days, right?" They are kind-hearted, if Ah Shen and I don't say anything about it, who in this village will dare to help us two in the future? You can't let Second Uncle Guo's kindness end up causing us trouble. ”

Su Shen also said: "That's it." Don't say anything about 'taking advantage of the lack of work', it's autumn harvest time, and it's clearly the time of the year when the farm work is the most and heaviest. Your second uncle can put aside his salary and help you store forage for our family, which is a great favor. ”

Guo Yang is an honest man, he is really afraid that his second uncle will do something bad with good intentions, so he was quickly persuaded by Meng Hao and Su Shen, and the black boy scratched his head in annoyance, "That, that's okay." ”

He took the basket and put it on his back, took two steps and then turned back suddenly, his lips squirming as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he still did not speak.

When he left, Meng Hao prepared an identical thank you gift again, and then together with Su Shen, he personally sent it to Aunt Guo's house next door.

Aunt Guo was busy preparing winter clothes for them, and when Meng Zhen and Su Shen knocked on the door of her house, Aunt Guo was buttoning Su Shen's last winter coat.

"You're tired. I'm afraid you won't be able to make it to this festival, right? Meng Zhen put the basket in the Guo family hall, and she came to Aunt Guo and sat down without seeing anything.

Aunt Guo enjoyed Meng Hao's closeness and dependence on her, she smiled and picked up the strip of cloth and continued to twist the buttons.

"Hey, how can the croppers have time all year round? Even if I don't make clothes for you, won't I have to work in and out of my house? ”

"Besides, how many good things you and Ah Shen have sent to your aunt's family, I won't tell you, this festival has passed, and your sister and I have gained a lot of weight."

Croppers have a hard time, especially when it comes to spring plowing and autumn harvest, every household is busy getting up early and greedy for darkness.

Even if because of the hard work required during this time, all families can basically have a full meal, and some people can even get a little oily, but this slightly better food conditions still can't withstand the huge consumption caused by everyone's hard work.

This is also why Guo Yang obviously eats the same meals as his mother and sister, and even eats more than them, but he is diametrically opposed to Aunt Guo's mother and daughter.

Because he was so tired, Guo Yang not only failed to get fat, but also unconsciously lost a small circle.

As soon as she thought of this, Meng Hao very honestly exposed Aunt Guo's white lies, "Where are you and Sister Xing'er fat?" Why didn't I see it at all? It's Ah Yang, I can see at a glance that he has become thinner. ”

To be honest, before Guo Yang learned hunting with her, Aunt Guo's family lived a really hard life, even if she made up for it during this time, Aunt Guo's mother and daughter at most had a ruddy complexion and a better complexion.

Don't think she doesn't know, although Guo Yang has income every day, Aunt Guo is still very frugal as always.

Of course, Meng Hao can't say that Aunt Guo's thrift is wrong, after all, the Guo family is different from her family, and the Guo family is still the extreme poverty class.

Meng Zhen is now also a person with a grange, but Aunt Guo's family has not been able to buy a field so far.
