Mei Xiaotong has never seen someone looking for death like this.

is actually his fourth brother.

sighed, if you don't break the siege, I'm afraid that there will be a bloody case in the Mei family today.

"Fourth brother, in addition to bringing me a gift, did you bring anything to my father?"

Mei Changgui replied while jumping on his feet: "Daddy doesn't lack anything, what is there to bring?" ”

Well, the gods can't save it, so ask for more blessings!

Mei Xiaotong completely gave up the idea of rescuing.

Holding two pieces of pulp rice cakes, he glanced at the little beans, hid in the corner together, and watched Mrs. Li and Mei Zhongzhong mix men and women to fight the bad fourth brother, while breaking the rice cake into small pieces and stuffing a small piece into the mouths of several children.

Pulp rice cake is rice ground into slurry, brush a layer of clear oil in the pot, pour the slurry water into it, steam it over high heat, and sprinkle a few black sesame seeds before leaving the pot.

Fragrant and sweet, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, with a fresh fragrance, it is a rare snack in the town.

Mei Xiaotong has eaten countless dim sum before, but after all these days, the bird is about to fade out of her mouth, and at this moment, only a small piece of pulp rice cake stuffed between her teeth makes her feel more delicious than any kind of dim sum she has eaten before.

Not to mention the other children, who have never eaten such delicious food, are reluctant to chew it, just put it in their mouths, and feel that the sweetness is only sweet to their hearts.

Mei Xiaotong didn't go too far, she only shared a piece of rice cake with the children, and wrapped the rest and put it away for Mrs. Li.

Although the little beans only tasted a little taste, they also felt very satisfied, and they had no opinion at all about Mei Xiaotong putting away the remaining rice cakes.

The rice cakes here have all been eaten, and Mrs. Li is still beating her son in anger.

It wasn't until Wen had finished dinner that Mrs. Li and Mei Zhongzhong hatefully put away the shovel and cigarette pouch and pot and prepared to eat.

Mei Changgui rubbed his back and hissed.

Daddy, this is really moving, and I beat it to death! If it weren't for my rough skin and thick flesh, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to get out of bed tomorrow.

Alas, I only went home once in half a year, why could my father and mother be so ruthless?

Mei Changgui muttered while rubbing the beaten place.

However, I was full of depression, and after smelling the smell of meat, I disappeared without a trace.

What head flower, what golden branch, what is that?

It's not as attractive as the two big pots of meat in front of you!

It's been a long time since I've been so oily and watery, and after Mrs. Li divided the buns, everyone didn't speak, and shook off their cheeks to eat.

The meal was swept away, and the food on the table was swept away.

Even Mei Xiaotong, who was determined to lose weight, was so driven by this atmosphere that she unknowingly ate a few pieces of braised pork and went down her stomach.

It's rare, even Wen's stomach is seven or eight points full today, and he also ate a piece of fat meat the size of a little thumb, which is in his mouth, the meat is fragrant, so tender, I can't wait for her to swallow her tongue.

In the end, even the soup basin on the table was wiped clean by several children with steamed buns, and there was no need to wash it at all.

Mei Changgui touched his belly, and the meal of meat made him forget the fat beating before the meal, "Mother, or do you feel sorry for your son, knowing that I am coming back today, you deliberately cut so much meat for me to catch the wind?" ”

Mrs. Li was not angry: "I'm bah! Pick you up? Your face is bigger than a basin, right? I knew you were coming back with this thing, and I was still cutting meat? Cook you some green vegetables and rice cereal, it's all for my own sake! You came back suddenly, don't tell me, you're in trouble again? Didn't you discount someone's leg again? ”

As he spoke, he picked up the broom at hand, planning to greet Mei Changgui as long as he nodded.

Mei Changgui shaved his hair aggrievedly, "Mother, is your son that kind of person?" Didn't I listen to you, earn enough money that I lost at the beginning, and worry that my family would not have enough farm manpower, so I rushed back? ”

Not to mention anything else, under the discipline of Mrs. Li, the sons of the Mei family, no matter what their personality, are all filial sons in the eyes of outsiders.

Mei Changgui's own family knows his own affairs, and outsiders seem to have many Mei families, but in fact, there are only a few who can work.

Dad is old, and his health is not very good, so he can only do some light work in the field, or guide his grandson.

The only ones who can really use it on top are the eldest brother and the sister-in-law.

Although Tianlong and Tianhu have been in the ground for a few years, they can only take a hand, and they can't afford to do the real hard work.

The second brother is in the county, and it is rare to come back once a year, and the third brother is a wild horse without a halter, so he can't count on it.

So since the beginning of spring, he has worked hard to take on more work, and only then did he save enough money yesterday.

Because I was worried about my family, in the morning, I didn't buy anything except two slurry rice cakes and two flowers that I bought a few days ago when I was rushing to the market, so I hurried home in a hurry.

I thought that everyone at home should be too busy and tired at the moment, and my own wife might be smashing pots and scolding the street at home.

I didn't expect to come back, the house was quiet, and I stewed such a big pot of meat to eat, so that Mei Changgui, who hadn't been touched with a little meat for half a year, had a good taste of meat.

He didn't think much about it, thinking that it was because he was not at home, and his mother was afraid that the family would not have the strength to work, so she bought meat for everyone to eat, so that everyone could have the energy to go to the ground.

Busy showing his skills, he said that he came back to work in the fields.

Hearing Mei Changgui say this, Mrs. Li's face softened, she threw the broom and stretched out her hand: "Bring it--"

Mei Changgui obediently took out the money bag and handed it to Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li flipped the money bag, and half a string of copper coins fell out of it, and she counted it carefully three times to confirm that it was half hanging, and then she received it in the cabinet with satisfaction.

On the other hand, he muttered in disgust: "I have been out for half a year, and I only made so much money, I am not as good as your little sister!" Which of you can I count on in the future~~"

Lock up the money, while everyone is there, Mrs. Li knocked on the table: "The fourth child is also back, everyone is here, and the work in the fields is almost busy, I am thinking, anyway, Xiaotong's family affairs have been refunded, and the return ceremony, plus the money in my hand, it is enough for the fourth child to marry a daughter-in-law--"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Mei Changgui: "Mother? What do you say? The little sister's relatives have retired? Why? Is it An Huahao's bastard who came to retreat? Mader, labor and management are going to break his leg--"

As he spoke, as soon as the table was pushed and his sleeves were flicked, he was about to go to the dry frame with a hideous face.

was slapped back to the spot by Mrs. Li: "Sit down for the old lady, which one are you?" Chirp crookedly, the old lady will break your dog's leg! ”

Mei Changgui was aggrieved, "Mother, didn't you say it, if my little sister is bullied, do I, who is an older brother, have to give her a head?" This has all been withdrawn, where is the face of our Mei family? How will Xiaomei be a person in the future? Mother, you just let me go, I have to let the An family know that our Mei family girls are not so easy to bully! ”

Mrs. Li slapped the table, her eyes straightened: "If you want to beat me tomorrow, now listen to the old lady's words, and everyone will take the old lady's words as a deaf ear?" It's going to turn the sky upside down, isn't it? ”

Mei Changgui, the first brother in Lingshan Village, immediately coaxed and sat down obediently to listen to the training.

"It's okay for you to come back, take advantage of this season and hurry up to handle your marriage with the Li family. It's been dragging on for several years, and now I say that the days are not good, and Ming'er says that the passing year is not good, and his girl doesn't even deserve to give our Xiaotong shoes, and I really think that the name is called Jin Zhi, which is not a golden branch and jade leaf? Being able to marry into our family without worrying about food and clothing, I don't know what kind of blessing she has cultivated in her life, what else do you want? Where did so much poverty come from? Tomorrow, I will ask the matchmaker to set a date.

The house you live in is being painted these days, and your dad and yourself can just get a few pieces of furniture these days. Marry in early, worry about it early, and there is someone who can serve you to wash clothes and eat, and the old lady has served you for almost 20 years, and she has been injured. ”

Mei Changgui is also an innocent young man, except for his own mother and sister, he has never even held hands with other girls, listening to his mother's posture, he really wants to marry his daughter-in-law into the door.

A young man's heart suddenly thumped, and the tips of his ears were red.

Whether it's doing work outside, or being with good friends in the village on weekdays, adult boys and young men, talking and chatting, they must be inseparable from women.

Especially for those who are already married, when it comes to the benefits of getting married, they all have a smug expression like fat meat that has been eaten for a few days, and they can say at every turn that only people know when they come over, what is the skin on their mother-in-law's body is delicate, and the body is soft like noodles, and the place is slippery and tight......

The young men who didn't get married, one by one, were red-faced when they heard it, and they couldn't sleep in the middle of the night.

Thinking that he was about to get married, he would become one of the people who came over, and he could hug the fragrant and soft mother-in-law, like this and that, Mei Changgui felt that the nosebleeds were about to gush out, and he only knew that he was grinning and smirking.

Mei Xiaotong simply didn't have the eyes to look at her stupid fourth brother.

Mrs. Li also felt that this bad son was too spicy, so she drove out with two brooms.

After eating, Tianlong and a few little beans who were driven to the yard also heard the arrangement for the fourth uncle to marry a daughter-in-law, and they all smiled and went to shame Mei Changgui.

"Fourth uncle, are you going to marry us the fourth aunt?"

"Fourth uncle, why are you blushing?"

……

There was a lot of commotion in the courtyard outside.

Leaving Mei Xiaoque and Zhou in the hall, Zhou gave Mei Xiaoque a strong look.

It's rare that today's mother-in-law mentioned the family affairs of the little uncle, her own Tianlong will be 15 next year, and the daughter-in-law will also look at each other, otherwise in two years, the good daughters will be picked by others.

The house where the grandchildren got married has not yet been settled, and it has to be put on the agenda.

Otherwise, with the eccentricity of his mother-in-law, where would he think of marrying a daughter-in-law to the two Tianlong brothers.

Mei Xiaoque listened to Zhou's blowing wind in her ears every day, and she also felt that it was time to find out her eldest son's relatives, and she married her daughter-in-law early, and the family increased her labor, so that she and her daughter-in-law could also enjoy the taste of being a father-in-law and mother-in-law.

In the past, he insisted on resisting the pressure of the Zhou family and did not speak, but he knew in his heart that the children in the township were governors early, and most of them got married at the age of sixteen or seventeen.

He and the second and third children became relatives at the age of sixteen, but the fourth child is nineteen years old and has not yet married his daughter-in-law.

First, because there are more and more children in the family, all of them are opening their mouths to eat, and the burden on the family is not small.

Second, in the early years, the second child was allowed to study, and he was admitted to Xiucai, and the annual expenses were expensive, and after the second child was admitted to Xiucai, he went to the exam every year, and fell off the list every year, until his father and mother were really unable to supply, and the second child went to the county school to teach, but over the years, the family was penniless.

The third child can marry a daughter-in-law, firstly, because there is not much difference in age from the second child, and the second child was admitted to Xiucai in those two years, and it is also a scenery to say it, and some people would rather pay money to marry the Mei family. Didn't the third brother and sister's family just think that they would be able to rely on the second family in the future, so they married in with a dowry.
