There was a well on the right side of the big poplar tree in the center of the village, and when Lin Mei carried the bucket to the well, there were also people in front of her to fetch water, so Lin Mei had to wait.

Today's weather is good, the sun comes out to shine on people's warm bodies, and the old people who have been at home for a winter are carrying small stools to bask in the sun under the big poplar trees.

"Isn't that the plum of the Lin family, do you think that her marriage with the Liu family can still be ......?"

"What is Cheng, I didn't see that the eldest son of the Liu family now has a daughter-in-law, and the son is almost a year old......"

"I haven't heard of it, in the month of La, Meizi jumped into the river for this matter, if it weren't for the Guo family boy who came back to deliver New Year's goods to his uncle and saved Meizi, maybe they would all have turned into ghosts now."

"This Liu family is really not a thing, when Liu Shougen was in Guyuelan's fiftieth birthday, he pulled Meizi and his father said in front of the whole village that he wanted to marry his children and in-laws......"

"Don't say it, Meizi is looking at us."

Lin Mei didn't pay attention to or stop the gossip of these women, and went home after fetching water.

"Sister, you can rest for a while......" Momoko watched her sister carry water and became so distressed that she hurried to the kitchen to boil water.

The day before yesterday, I just went to buy eighty catties of cornmeal and thirty catties of white flour, and I took turns picking with Shanzi before I got it back, and now I went to fetch water, Lin Mei was tired of lying on the bed and didn't want to move at all, recalling the gossip I had just heard by the well, which evoked the memory in the depths of my brain.

Liu Dawu's mother Liu Fang's family is particularly capable of giving birth, Liu Dawu is the eldest son, when he was ten years old, there were three younger brothers in the family, and Liu Fang's still had one in his belly.

It is said that half of the eldest child eats Lao Tzu to death, and the people in the village can eat meat three or four times a month, which is good, except for Xiaolin Mei's family, after all, there is a father who is a hunter, Liu Dawu is particularly envious of Xiaolin Mei, Xiao Lin Mei was only five years old at that time, and Mei Ziniang Wu is a particularly kind-hearted woman, poor Liu Dawu's hungry yellow skin is shaved and thin, and when the farm is busy, let Liu Dawu help take care of the fields for two meals.

Fang's knew that the eldest son was working in the Lin family, taking care of the food, and saving the family's rations, the key was that he could eat a meat meal the next day, so he supported the second Liu Dahu to also help go to the Lin family to work and save some rations for the family.

But the Lin family has only three acres of paddy fields, eight points of vegetable land, and there is not much to do, Father Lin sees that Liu Dawu is a good seedling, he is diligent and can endure hardships, so he intends to teach him to hunt.

In the fiftieth birthday of the ancient grandmother, the eldest son Guo Ping'an was filial, and held a banquet in the village, and also invited the opera troupe to sing in the hall, and invited the whole village to sit and watch the play.

I heard that Liu Shougen, who was at the same table, was also Liu Dawu's father, and after drinking some wine, he pulled Father Lin and said that he wanted to marry his children.

Before this, Father Lin had never thought about his daughter's marriage at all, after all, his daughter was still young.

As a result, Liu Shougen said in front of the whole village that Daddy Lin had the grace of knowing Liu Dawu, just like a reborn parent, and he and Meizi were also childhood sweethearts...... Bala ba, said a bunch of ...... I had to ask Daddy Lin to agree immediately.

When Daddy Lin heard it, it was bad, if he didn't agree, Meizi's reputation would not be good in the future, and Liu Dawu was also half an apprentice, and he was also seen from a young age, so he agreed to this marriage, but because the venue was not suitable, he did not make a marriage letter.

In order to earn money to marry a daughter-in-law, when the Luo family recruited guards, he went to enlist, signed a five-year contract, and promised Father Lin that he would marry Meizi when he came back in five years.

Five years later, Liu Dawu came back with his wife and children, the Lin family heard about it, and the four of them came to the door to ask for an explanation, but Liu Fang's flatly denied the marriage, and said that he only said that he was married to his son and daughter, and he said that he was for his second son Liu Dahu, and asked Lin Dad to take out the marriage book, Liu Dahu is also a good person, and when he heard his mother say this, he ran to the four members of the Lin family, "Father-in-law, sister Meizi" and called......

There was no marriage certificate at all, and Lin Mei was embarrassed and rushed out of Liu's house and jumped into the river. Without......

"Sister, sister, Grandma Gu is back......" Momoko ran into the house with excitement on her face, interrupting Meizi's memories.

When Lin Mei saw it, the little girl's smiling eyes were bent into small crescents.

"How do you know that Grandma Gu is back......"

"Brother just told me ......"

"Your brother is back from chopping wood......", Lin Mei heard that Shanzi had come back from chopping wood, and endured the sore shoulders and got up to prepare for lunch.

Lin Mei rolled up her sleeves and went into the kitchen, asked Peaches to help raise the fire and boil the water, scooped a bowl of cornmeal and added a little white flour, planning to make corn nests with the noodles, and then stew the bone winter melon soup.

Lin Mei didn't lose her mouth in her previous life, and now she can't treat herself badly, when she came back from the town the day before yesterday, she bought three catties of meat, and after bargaining with the butcher shop owner, she asked for a few bones.

Shanzi put the firewood and went into the kitchen to drink water, saw that his sister was meeting, and said to his sister: "Sister, I just met the mouse, he sent the ancient grandmother back, I heard the mouse say that there is also his aunt's family." ”

When Lin Mei heard this, she stopped, straightened her waist and said to Shanzi: "I'll go around the forest tomorrow morning to see if there is anything in the past two days, and if there is, I will send ...... to Grandma Gu."

"Or I'll go, dad can move himself without my help for the past two days, if you don't have a set, see if you can catch some pheasants or rabbits or something."

"I'll go with you, you go alone, I'm not at ease, what if I encounter a wolf again......" Thinking of what happened to Father Lin, Meizi didn't dare to be careless.

Lin Mei also learned archery with Father Lin when she was a child, but after her mother died, she didn't practice, Lin Mei said seriously: "From tomorrow, I will practice archery with you for an hour every day......

In this era, medical care is backward, there is a doctor in the village, medical skills are not good, it is okay to see some minor diseases, and you have to go to the town to find a doctor for major diseases, Meizi thinks that she has to refine her body.

I remember when Peaches was two years old, Little Peaches had a fever, Daddy Lin took Shanzi up the mountain to hunt, Xiao Linmei was so anxious that she went to the doctor with Little Peach on her back, but the doctor was not at home, and Xiao Linmei cried urgently.

Grandma Gu's house was next door to the doctor's house, and when she heard someone crying, she went out to check, and saw the eldest daughter of the Lin family crying with her young sister on her back, so she stepped forward to ask. Knowing that Xiao Momoko was sick and had a fever and the doctor was not there, Xiao Lin Mei was so frightened that she didn't know what to do.

Grandma Gu took the little peach in her arms, took Xiao Linmei to Guo's house, and showed Xiao Linmei how to rub wine on the little peach to reduce the fever, and boiled the medicine herself, and stayed up all night to feed the medicine, and the little peach got better.

Meizi is grateful to Grandma Gu, and Grandma Gu feels very sorry for this pair of motherless sisters, and often teaches Xiaolin Mei housework and how to deal with people.

Since then, Xiao Linmei has treated Grandma Gu as her own grandmother, but the year before last, after Grandma Gu was taken to the town by Uncle Guo, she never returned to the village.

I heard that Grandma Gu came back, so she naturally wanted to come to visit, but it was not good to go empty-handed after all.

After lunch, Lin Mei took out the rabbit skins that had not been sold a few days ago and put them in the yard to dry, planning to make a pair of knee pads for Grandma Gu.

"Sister, why did you turn this skin out......" Momoko sat down next to Meizi with a small stool.

"I'm going to make a pair of knee pads for Grandma Gu, who is old and her knees hurt in winter. Where's your brother? Lin Mei chose a pure black leather and was gesturing.

"Sister, you are really thoughtful, my brother went to play with Brother Mouse, I'll accompany you to get it......"

"Don't you Brother Mouse, Brother Mouse, his real name is Luo Sicheng, the name of the mouse is a nickname given by your brother and I in private when I was a child, and now everyone has grown so big, I heard that he is still a child, you are not allowed to call it like this......"

"Uncle Guo's surname is Guo, why is his surname Luo." Momoko doesn't quite understand this.

Lin Mei looked at Peach's surprised surface and was happy, "What's so strange about this, Uncle Guo and Uncle Guo are half-brothers." Uncle Guo's father's surname is Luo, and he has returned to the sect for three generations, so he naturally wants to change his surname back to Luo, come, help me pull the skin......"

"I'm going to save a few skins for you, and when it's hot, I'll make you a leather jacket to wear in the second half of the year, but it's warm......" Lin Mei still remembered the envious look in her eyes when she went to the fourth aunt's house that day and looked at Lin Xing's new clothes.
