Lin Mei walked halfway with her things on her back, and when she was a little tired, she put down her things and rested on the side of the road, when suddenly a spring breeze blew, and the air carried a familiar smell.

Lin Mei looked up and looked at a few big trees not far away, very excited.

Why didn't you notice a few toon trees here when you passed by last time, Lin Mei looked at her with a little contempt.

It doesn't matter so much, seeing that there is no one around, Lin Mei climbed to the tree and picked up the toon buds. The tall place of the tree could not be picked, so Lin Mei picked everything that could be picked. A few trees were picked up, but in fact, there were not many, and it was estimated that it was only three or four catties.

"Sister of the Lin family, what are you doing here?" Tian didn't expect to meet Lin Mei when he came back.

"Aunt Tian, you also rush to the market." Lin Mei said.

"What are you doing with this?" Seeing that Lin Mei picked so many and put them in the basket, Tian couldn't help but be curious.

Lin Mei suddenly remembered that Father Lin said that the Tian family in the village was a stone mill, as if it was her family, so she took the initiative to catch one and gave it to Tian's and said: "Aunt Tian, I won't hide it from you, this is called toon buds, you can eat it, you take these, go home and soak it with boiling water first, and then cut it into tofu or scrambled eggs." ”

"That's not good, this is what you picked hard, I'm just curious to ask, now I know that this thing can be eaten, I'll pick some back another day and taste it." Tian refused.

"Take it, Aunt Tian, this toon tree is not easy to find, these are almost all picked by me, even if you want to pick it, it will take two days to sprout, and this toon can not be eaten, only those that have just grown like this can be eaten, and you can't eat it if you are elders." Lin Mei said repeatedly.

"Then you're welcome." After speaking, Tian took the toon and put it in the basket.

"Thank you, thank you, I'm also greedy to pick so much." Lin Mei said politely.

"Meizi, my aunt wants to ask you something, if it's convenient for you, just say it, and if it's inconvenient, I'll treat it as if my aunt didn't ask." Tian's favor for Lin Mei skyrocketed, but he was still puzzled by what happened in the bookstore just now, so he asked.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Lin Mei also began to wonder, what did this Aunt Tian want to ask.

"I just saw you talking to a man in the bookstore, you know?" Aunt Tian thought about it.

This is to ask what the relationship is, Lin Mei is not afraid of the shadow, and directly tells the truth: "Oh, you ask Xiao Gongzi, my father was injured just to save him, today my brother went to the private school to study, I just went to buy him pen and ink, just happened to meet, so I chatted a few words." ”

"I see, I'll just say it...... Oh, your brother went to a private school to study, and your father agreed? Tian almost missed his mouth, and suddenly reacted and asked.

"Look at what my aunt said, if my father doesn't agree, Shanzi can go to school." Lin Mei thought to herself: It's good to say it, otherwise it will really be suspected, this woman loves gossip by nature.

"Look at my aunt's stupid mouth, she can't speak, and if your father doesn't agree, your brother really can't read it." Tian slapped his mouth as he spoke.

"Aunt Tian, look at it's noon, let's go home quickly." Lin Mei's picking toons has been delayed, and now she is sitting on the side of the road chatting with Aunt Tian to delay the time, Lin Mei is a little anxious, so she urged.

"Okay, okay, let's talk as we go." Tian was also in a hurry to go back to cooking, and after speaking, he followed Lin Mei to the village with a basket.

"Meizi, your family has no enmity with Zhang Hehua, right?" Tian didn't quite understand Zhang Hehua's framing of Lin Mei, so he had the heart to remind him.

"No, Aunt Tian, have you heard something?" Lin Mei was still very puzzled by Tian's problem.

"It's best to have no hatred, maybe there is some misunderstanding, just now I asked you about the bookstore, in fact, Zhang Hehua also saw it, she ...... Broken mouth...... Alas, anyway, you should guard against this person in the future. "Aunt Tian was afraid of stirring up trouble and causing trouble, so she hid what Zhang Hehua said just now.

When Lin Mei heard this, she guessed that it must be this lotus dog who couldn't spit out ivory in his mouth and said bad things about her, otherwise Aunt Tian wouldn't have asked like this, whatever, her mouth was on her, she wanted to talk about it, if she said it in front of herself, she would have to slap her with a big mouth.

The two of them talked for a while and arrived in the village, and because of the different roads, Lin Mei said goodbye to Aunt Tian.

"Sister, you're finally back." Momoko was playing in the yard, and when she saw her sister coming back, she stepped forward and said, suddenly remembering that her father was still worried about her sister, so she asked the back room and shouted, "Dad, my sister is back." ”

"Meizi is back, it's good to be back...... Just come back. Seeing that it was already noon, Meizi had not come back yet, he was worried that something had happened to Meizi, and because of the inconvenience of his legs and feet, he could only work at home in a hurry. ”

"Dad, I saw a toon village on the road today, thinking that there was no food at home, so I picked some toon sprouts and came back to eat, so I delayed for a while. Daddy is hungry, I'm going to cook. Lin Mei saw that it was already noon and Shanzi was about to come back, so she was in a hurry to cook.

As soon as he entered the kitchen, Shanzi returned.

"Dad, sister, I'm back." Xu is the first day to study, Shanzi is still a little uncomfortable, a little homesick, as soon as school runs, people have not entered the house, began to shout.

"Yo, Shanzi is back, my sister has something to delay today, and the meal is not ready yet, you take out the things in the basket first and put them in order. You have bought all your pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, and you can take them and put them in your house. Go back and think about getting you a desk. Lin Mei then thought that there was only a kang in Shanzi's house, and there was a cabinet on the kang head, and there was nothing else.

Lin Mei entered the kitchen at this time, thinking that everyone was hungry, and Shanzi had to go to school in the afternoon, so she simply made toon scrambled eggs, braised rabbits, and corn potstickers by the way when roasting rabbits.

"Sister, let me tell you something, don't tell your father that I said it." Peach slipped into the kitchen and whispered to Lin Mei.

"Peach, what's the matter, I won't tell my father." Lin Mei assured Peach.

"There is a matchmaker at home today, and she wants to say goodbye to our father." Peaches saw that there was no one outside the door, and said to Lin Mei in her ear.

Lin Mei chuckled in her heart, does anyone want to propose marriage to my father? Am I unable to escape this ancient custom, just blindly marrying dumb and dumb like this? Lin Mei hurriedly asked, "Then our father agreed?" ”

"Dad didn't agree, but Dad asked the matchmaker to find you a family business." Momoko shook her head.

"Wait...... Let me repeatedly" Lin Mei was confused, since someone came to the door to propose, why did my father ask the matchmaker to find it again, could it be that I misunderstood, not to propose to me?

Lin Mei thought about it and said to Peach: "Peach, think about it, who is the matchmaker talking to." ”

"I said it all, it's for our father."

"You mean to say that the matchmaker said to our father that she wanted to find us a stepmother, does that mean?" Lin Mei induced.

"Well, well, that's what it means, do you say that our father will find another stepmother for us?" Momoko nodded, and when she saw that her sister finally understood, she asked, "Sister, can I eat, I'm hungry." ”

"Look at me, I forgot about this interruption, go and ask your brother to help my father out, and I'll set the meal." After Lin Mei finished speaking, she went to get the bowl of vegetables.
