"Eh, yes, yes!" Mei Laosuo hurriedly spoke, feeling as if he had found a step down, as if he was relieved.

Sister Qiu and Lin Zhun glanced at each other, and they all looked helpless and speechless from each other's eyes. Aunt Mei is still the heartless and black-lunged appearance, as long as there is something delicious, she sees everyone who is kissed, Mei Tang and Mei Da Niu father and son are not sticky to the family, Er Niu, it doesn't seem to be like that to say that he is stupid, the sloppy and sloppy have always been like that, Mao's family, no matter how filial Sister Qiu is to her, she is all like an enemy who Sister Qiu owes her hundreds of thousands of taels and does not pay back.

Only Mei Laosuo seems to be very old, the last time Sister Qiu remembered that Mei Laosuo was not like this, this time it was obvious that Mei Laosuo was old, not that Mei Laosuo's hair was white and his back was bent, but that his spirit was not as good as before.

"Master, is my uncle coming back for the Chinese New Year?" Sister Qiu asked.

Mei Laosuo wanted to shake his head, but he stopped again, and said: "I should come back, I didn't come back for the Chinese New Year last year, and I will definitely come back this year." ”

Second Aunt Mei, who had just moved the buns and flower rolls into the hall, came out, and when she heard Mei Laosuo's words, she couldn't help but crook her mouth, "What are you coming back?" It's been a long time and I don't even send a letter home, and I say that I've made a lot of money every day, so I'm afraid that our poor brother and sister-in-law won't come back if he asks for money? ”

Mei Laosuo's words were pierced in an instant, and the swarthy old face turned red.

Mao stood by the door of the hall with a gloomy face, and said to Aunt Mei'er: "What does it matter to you if you don't come back?" I'm full! It's your turn, dog with a mouse! ”

Sister Qiu held her forehead, she just had nothing to say to Mei Laosuo, she just found a topic to talk about, look at Mao's scolding Huai...... Forget it, she shouldn't talk to the Mei family, every time she puts the gift away, she can leave, and all such big guys are satisfied.

Lin Zhun frowned and looked at the angry Mao, and pulled Sister Qiu and whispered, "Let's go." He was naturally very angry, Sister Qiu was kind and filial, and she didn't pull it down during the New Year's holidays, but anyone with a normal mind would not scold someone just after receiving a generous gift from others. But firstly, Mao's is unreasonable, and she can't scold her if she argues with her, and secondly, Mao's is an elder, so it's better to be in a hurry to reason with her. After the two left, Mei Laosuo looked at the Mao family who was standing under the eaves of the house, and couldn't help but say, "What kind of anger did you just make?" Children come to be filial to us, and you don't have a good face. Mao snorted into the ground and shouted with a tiger face: "Why, she doesn't have the surname Mei when she arrives at someone's house?" I'm not her milk, shouldn't she give me filial piety? Raising her so big is for nothing? She grew up eating wind and rain? I begged her to come and give me a gift? I don't say anything, she should give it to me, make so much money, and give it away less than the ugly one is the dead girl! ”

Mei Laosuo didn't say a word, he had never succeeded in reasoning with the Mao family in his life, and the person who gave birth to his granddaughter went to the sea, he only heard about the filial piety of his son and daughter, and he had never seen a granddaughter buy this and that filial piety.

"My milk is like that!" Sister Qiu shook her head and said, persuade

Lin Zhun don't be angry, "I'm used to it, she feels that I owe her to my mother, she is unreasonable, and no one can do it." ”

Lin Zhun said with a smile: "We don't have the same knowledge as her. "It is estimated that Mei Ye's kind of stewed water hyacinth temperament can endure Mao's family.

"This time, my milk is still quite tough." Sister Qiu said with a smile, the scolding voice was full of anger, and she could listen to it all from a mile away, "My grandfather seems to be old, and he is not as tough as before." ”

"As soon as this man gets old, he grows old." Lin Zhun preached.

Sister Qiu smiled, in fact, she felt that Mei Laosuo's spirit was not as good as before, not because of age, but because of the connection suffered a blow, first placed all expectations on the son to give up studying, and now there is not even a letter, and then the granddaughter made an ugly thing to lose her ugly, and disappeared after retiring from her relatives, and he also went to find his old friend Lin Laosuo to borrow money with a thick old face, and all of them are quite shocking, if you can want to open it, but Mei Laosuo is a stewed water hyacinth temper, and she can't see anything from the outside, The most important thing inside is to have a good face.

After the New Year, when the ice and snow melted in February, Mei Yindi gave birth to a boy. is probably due to her young and good health, compared to Jia's pain for a day, Mei Yindi only took an hour to give birth to the baby smoothly.

As soon as the child was born, he washed the blood from his body, and wrapped the mother who delivered the baby into a small quilt.

At that time, Mei Yindi's mind was still very clear, Jia and Li Ailian helped clean up her body, and Mother He walked to her with the child in her arms and asked softly, "Do you want to take a look at the child?" ”

Mei Yindi had no physical strength after giving birth to a child, and said lazily: "Don't look at it." "What's beautiful, she doesn't want to recognize it, this child means tiresome to her, and she can be relieved to send her away as soon as possible.

Mother He sighed quietly, wrapped the child in a small quilt, wrapped it tightly, carried it out of the door, and gave the courtyard a couple who were crying with joy. She felt that it was okay not to look at it, and maybe she would be reluctant to give away such a good child.

"The child is fine, he cries vigorously, and his arms and legs are squeezing." Mother He said with a smile.

The couple trembled and untied the child's swaddling clothes, looked at the child's body, and the woman cried out with joy, "What a boy!" Xianggong, we have a boy! ”

The man was also quite happy, wiped his eyes, and instructed: "Hurry up and wrap it, don't freeze the child on a cold day!" As he spoke, he shoved a cloth pocket into He's mother's hand.

As soon as Mother He touched it, she knew that it was filled with broken silver coins and copper plates, and she hurriedly wanted to return them to the man, "This can't be done, where can I collect money, don't I become a child seller?" A must-have! ”

"Aunt He, if you don't want to take this money, just give it to the little lady in the house." The man said earnestly, "We will take this child out, and it has nothing to do with the little lady, don't come to recognize the child again, and collect this money, even if the two are cleared, we will feel at ease." ”

Mother He opened her mouth, and felt that this was the same reason, Mei Yindi gave birth to a child,

All the credit and hard work are there, let's go, this money is the "hard work" that people gave to Mei Yindi, and it just so happens that Mei Yindi is also short of money now, so give it to her.

When he had finished speaking, the man escorted the woman away, and the woman held the child tightly in her arms, as if she were afraid of being taken away.

When He's mother entered the house, Jia and Li Ailian had already cleaned up Mei Yindi's body, and Mei Yindi also fell asleep. Mother He gave the money pocket to Jia's family, and Li Ailian said: "Give it to her when she wakes up, and see what she plans to do." ”

None of them were greedy for money, and no one had the intention of hiding Mei Yindi.

Sister Qiu doesn't know Mei Yindi, has she ever missed her first child, when Mei Yindi gave birth to a child in confinement, she brought pastries and cane sugar to visit Mei Yindi, I think this lady is doing very well, she is almost unrecognizable with a round face, in a way, Mei Yindi is very similar to Mei's second aunt, all of them are heartless and black-hearted masters who can live with food and food.

"How do you plan to plan backwards?" Sister Qiu asked, can she keep Mei Yindi in this courtyard for the rest of her life, even if Mei Yindi is willing to raise her in such a circle, she is not willing to raise Mei Yindi for nothing.

Mei Yindi was eating the pastries sent by Sister Qiu, and when she heard Sister Qiu's words, her expression was a little unnatural, "What plans do you have to plan, I'm like this, how else can I plan?" ”

"When you're out of confinement, do you plan to go back to Little River Town, or do you want to go somewhere else?" Sister Qiu saw Mei Yindi pretending to be stupid, and asked her words directly.

Although Mei Yindi is not willing to go, she is used to a good life of eating and eating, but she also understands that after the child is born and the confinement is over, Sister Qiu will no longer raise her in vain, fortunately, she still has the "thank you money" given to her by the couple, even if Sister Qiu is kicked out, she will not starve to death for a year and a half.

"Don't go back to Little River." Mei Yindi said in a simmering voice, "They don't want me anymore, what am I going to do when I go back?" She is very clear in her heart, now that she has money, Mei Tang will definitely search her money and sell her.

"And what do you want to go?" Sister Qiu asked very patiently.

Mei Yindi picked at the pastry residue between her fingernails, and bowed her head for a long time before she said: "Sister Qiu, we are cousins, ordinary grandmothers, you know what my situation is now...... Shall I follow you backwards? ”

Sister Qiu was a little speechless, even if her sisters didn't live their lives together, not to mention that she was going to marry into the Jiang family in the future, so why should she bring Mei Yindi's "dowry"?

"How did you follow me?" Sister Qiu frowned, "I live in Yan Yuanwai's house now, it was inconvenient for you in the past, and I may go back to Xiaohe Town to live in the future, and it is even more inconvenient for you to follow me." ”

Even if she is willing, Lin Zhun is not happy! He hates Mei Yindi.

Mei Yindi hurriedly said: "I don't live with you, don't you need someone to help in that shop?" I'll go, I'll do the work for you, and you can pay whatever you want. ”

"You can't." Sister Qiu categorically refused, "If your father and mother knew that you were working with us, they might not make a fuss." "Mei Tang if

knows that Sister Qiu and her mother took Mei Yindi in hiding from them, who knows what kind of ghost they can make a name for themselves, except for blackmailing money or money, Sister Qiu doesn't want to deal with a scoundrel like Meitang.

Mei Yindi said anxiously: "I'm not in front of the helper, I'm in the back, just like Yuxiu's sister, steaming a bun and frying a fried fruit or something in the back, I can do it all!" Is it okay if I don't go out? My father looked at me, and I don't say that you took me in. ”

Sister Qiu couldn't make up her mind for a while, so she went back and talked to Jia's family. "Save people and save the end, send the Buddha to the west." Jia Shi hugged the small building and sighed, "If we don't care, can she go as an uncle and a lady?" Your sister Yuxiu will get married at the end of the year, if she is willing, she will go to the small kitchen to pick up your sister Yuxiu's work. ”

Jia simply preached: "If she makes things restless, she will be pushed away." Previously, Jia Shi had more pity than disgust for Mei Yindi, but she looked at Mei Yindi's attitude towards her own children, and she recognized that Mei Yindi was the child of Mei Yindi and his wife, and her cold temper would not change.
