Chapter 64: Making Up the Shortfall

Looking at the two brothers who were focused on playing chess, Mei Li had to turn around and accompany her father in the kitchen to prepare lunch.

At that time, families in rural areas generally used earthen stoves to cook on fires. On the simple cement stove, an iron pot is inlaid in the largest hole above, and an earthen pot for water is placed in the hole next to it.

The kind where one person makes a fire underneath and one person cooks on top, when the dishes are all cooked, the water in there is also boiled early, which can kill two birds with one stone.

Merry washed some of the vegetables and set them aside, then cut all the meat that her father had bought, and when everything was ready, it was almost time to make lunch.

Thinking that her brother hadn't eaten breakfast yet, Merry stir-fried vegetables in the stove.

Mei Ya Island sat on the lower edge of the fire, looking at her happy daughter, Mei Ya Island still had some questions in her heart, and while her son-in-law was playing chess outside, he came up with his thoughts.

"Lili, are you okay at your in-laws' house? How do your in-laws treat you? ”

Listening to her father's worried words, Mei Li replied while stir-frying: "Dad, I'm very good at his house, I feel that his parents love me a lot, I don't need to do anything, let me do a good job in the class in the future"

Meiya Island was very happy to hear this, and she had been worried that her parents over there would be difficult to serve at home, but she didn't expect her daughter to make their home extremely good.

"That's good, as long as you're doing well, Dad will be relieved."

Mei Li also said thoughtfully: "Dad, you take care of yourself in the future, and I will help you pay back the dowry money slowly." In the future, if I have more money, I will also help An An study. ”

Because the family has always been in a state of poverty, and he got married in a hurry, his father borrowed money to marry himself before he had time to save enough money for the dowry.

Although the dowry is not a large number, it is still a small expense for this poor family.

Mei Li thought that Qin Shao's family was rich, and it should be no problem for her to secretly help her father make up for the deficit after she got married, so she treated her father like that.

When Meiya Island heard her daughter's sensible words, tears of emotion flowed from her eyes: "Lili, your heart is understood by your father, you don't have to pay back the money, and you don't have to worry about An An's study." You have already got a family, there will be a lot of places to use money in the future, and you have to plan for your own family if you have more money, you don't want your father to worry about going to school for you in the future."

Mei Li looked down and saw that her father was crying, and she asked nervously, "Dad, what's wrong with you?" Why are you crying? ”

Meiya Island hurriedly wiped the tears from her eyes, looked up with a smile and said, "It's okay, Dad is high-minded, it's better to hear that you are doing well in their house, than anything else." ”

Understanding her father's thoughts, Mei Li continued to instruct: "Dad, you should also pay attention to your body in the future, let me live there at ease, and if you need anything, you don't need to be so polite to me." The daughter is the intimate padded jacket of the parents, and I should honor you. ”

Meiya Island knew that his daughter was filial, and in order to reassure her, he had to nod his head frequently.

In this way, the father and daughter chatted and prepared a lunch.

Qin Shao and his brothers fought on the chessboard for a morning, and the two of them were equally good at chess, and the two shouted that they would continue to fight again in the afternoon.

The two of them who did not admit defeat were finally impressed by Mei Li's cooking skills, eating fragrant meals, Qin Shao felt that Mei Li's cooking was very delicious, and it simply surpassed his mother's cooking skills.

Mei Yadao looked at his son-in-law who was eating sweetly, and he also stepped into his bowl vigorously, so that Qin Shao had to loosen his belt when he ate half of it.

Mei An is also greedy to eat, and thinks that the days of having a sister are happiness.
