Chapter 451
Through the window, the moonlight sprinkled on the tent, Anhua Haozi felt Mei Xiaotong move, turned over, hugged Mei Xiaotong in his arms, and patted her back: "What's wrong?" Can't sleep? Don't worry, the whole family girl will definitely be able to inquire about it. It's so hot, you go to the town with your mother tomorrow to be careful of heat stroke, eat in the restaurant at noon, this is a hundred days, we have to keep filial piety, my mother can already eat some meat, her old man was sick last time, and she has eaten vegetarian for so long, you will give your mother two nourishing dishes tomorrow. β
"The matter of Yingzigou, don't worry, you go to the town tomorrow, ask the people left by the Zhang family and the Li family, see what the situation is, if there is really something wrong, let the fourth brother go in the name of collecting mountain goods, don't delay things, sleep in peace, there is me!"
This is to think that Mei Xiaotong is worried and can't sleep, so she comforts her.
Mei Xiaotong smiled, knowing that Anhua Hao's vinegar was vinegar, but the business was back to business.
Well, if you have to coax him yourself, it's a little pleasure between husband and wife! Who let himself be recruited, his own man, he has to coax down when he kneels!
Thinking about it like this, Mei Xiaotong nodded in agreement, pillowed An Huahao's arm, and fell asleep.
When she got up the next morning, Mei Xiaotong felt that her neck was about to break, and then looked at An Huahao's face, although there was nothing on her face, she could put her arm behind her and keep shaking, and she knew that it was not pleasant.
I can't help but want to spit wildly! I believe you're a ghost, those romances kill people!
What a blessing it is for God to wake up in the arms of His Beloved!
Happiness a hammer! fell asleep on his own pillow, and An Huahao estimated that the arm was wasted after being pillowed overnight.
Fortunately, Mei Xiaotong has physical fitness skills, and she did two movements, which finally relieved her neck pain.
An Huahao also worked hard to make the soreness of his arm feel better, and then saw Xiaotong's uncomfortable look, he hurriedly stretched out another good hand and pressed a few acupuncture points on the back of Mei Xiaotong's neck, and Mei Xiaotong's neck was completely relaxed.
After eating breakfast and going out, An Huahao was still not at ease, so he asked Mei Xiaotong to go to the town medical center to have a look.
Mei Xiaotong agreed to him with a mouthful of words, leaving Gu Yu at home and cooking for An Huahao.
Now that the family has been separated, the two days I came back, because of the help of the Wen family in the third and fourth rooms and the third room of the big house trust, I washed the dust and ate two meals at their house.
The rest of the fire is naturally good for themselves, the brothers of the Mei family are filial, there are fresh things at home, they are done, and it is their intention to send a copy to the backyard, but it is not good for them to go to eat every day.
Moreover, they were not short of money, and when they came back, they bought white rice and white flour, as well as all kinds of daily firewood, rice, oil and salt.
There are no vegetables, but Wen and Liu Xiaoqiao are both diligent people, and they opened a vegetable garden next door to the yard, and they can't finish the vegetables, so they pick the best ones and send them to the backyard every morning.
told Gu Yu a few words, let her be good at home, just cook a meal and send it to An Huahao over there, don't pass it
Go bother him.
The other children of the Mei family were so greedy when they saw that Jin Dou was going to the town with his grandmother and aunt.
Although the Mei family is having a better life now, and there is a carriage at home, but when they go to the town, it is all for business, where do they have time to take their children.
Several children are also sensible and never mention it.
But looking at this posture today, it must not be for the sake of the family's business, a few children moved their minds, Tianbao and Xiaojuan were older, and the two rubbed to the side of the carriage.
Tianbao didn't dare to find Mrs. Li and Mei Xiaotong, so he only pulled Jin Dou: "Brother, what are you doing in town?" β
Can Jin Dou say that he went to the town to see his daughter-in-law? I had to keep a straight face: "The children's family, what do you care we do in the town?" Naturally, there is something! β
After thinking about it, looking at the pitiful appearance of his younger brothers and sisters, he couldn't help but say again: "Be honest at home, come back and bring you something to eat!" β
Xiaojuan didn't dare to pester Mrs. Li, but only pulled Mei Xiaotong's sleeve: "Auntie, auntie, are you going to the town?" We want to go tooβ"
Mei Xiaotong also thinks that a few children are sensible, since she wants to go to the town, it's not impossible, but she went to inquire about it secretly today, she has no experience, and she doesn't know if it's appropriate to take so many children.
I had to turn my head to look at Mrs. Li.
Mrs. Li originally disliked the fact that there were many people, but after thinking about it, it was also good to have more children, and when outsiders asked, they said that they were taking the children to the town for a walk, otherwise they would only take Jin Dou alone, which was a little conspicuous.
Of course, the most important thing is, hey, the old girl looked at herself like this, and I remembered how long ago it was.
Now that the girl is older, she is more capable of being a mother than herself, and she listens to her many times, who would have thought that when she sees the old girl so well-behaved today, she wants the stars in the sky to promise her! What's more, it's just such a small thing?
He nodded right away.
A few kids are crazy! Spread his legs and squeezed into the carriage, even Xiao Duo was so little, watching his brothers and sisters climb towards the carriage, he also grabbed the wheels of the carriage and pedaled the little short legs to reach up.
was stopped by Mrs. Li: "What do they look like?" See what you're wearing? Still barefoot, running around what? It's all for the old lady to go back and wash it, change into clean clothes and come out again! If you can't wash it, don't even think about getting into the carriage! β
As soon as the sentence was finished, several children immediately dispersed and went back to the house to wash their hands and face and change their clothes.
I really don't blame these children, except for Xiaojuan, who is a girl and dresses neatly, which of them is not running shirtless and barefoot all over the ground?
The children in the countryside are not so particular, they are solid.
Especially when it's so hot, those boys have to go down to the river to swim twice while the adults are not paying attention, and naturally the less they wear, the less they wear.
There is a father and mother in the family who don't have the energy to manage it, and they are four or five years old, and they have bare farts, 1 stock, 1 egg, and 1 child.
Basically, after a summer, the girls and boys in the countryside are all
It's as tanned as a black loach.
The older ones went to change their clothes by themselves, but Xiao Duo, who was too small, hung on the wheels of the carriage, couldn't go up or down, and hung there with her bare buttocks.
Mei Xiaotong couldn't help laughing, hugged Xiao Duo into the carriage, and rubbed his hair, "Xiao Duo is good, today Grandma and Aunt are going to the town to run errands, you are still young, and it is inconvenient." I'll take you there when you're older, okay? β
This town is not less than the people in the village, they are all villagers, there are also flowers in this world, specializing in abducting children, there are many children who go together, in case one is accidentally lost, how can it be good?
Xiao Duo couldn't get up in Mei Xiaotong's arms like a twisted candy, and she grabbed Mei Xiaotong's clothes and couldn't get up: "Auntie...... Xiao Duo...... Go ......" as he spoke, saliva flowed out.
Mei Xiaotong hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe Xiao Duo's saliva clean, and then took out a piece of candy from her purse and stuffed it into Xiao Duo.
"Xiao Duo, stay at home with your mother, and my aunt will bring you candy back to eat at night, okay?"
Xiao Duo held the candy and gnawed on her mouth, and her mind was full of sugar.
Mei Xiaotong patted Xiao Duo's little fart 1 and handed him over to Wen.
When the children were all packed up and ran out giggling, the two daughters-in-law couldn't help but show a look of longing, which woman didn't want to go to the town?
Wen's is better, holding Xiao Duo, I know that I don't want to think about it today.
But Liu Xiaoqiao, since he got married, he really hasn't been to the town a few times, some time ago, his father-in-law hadn't been in a hundred days, it was not easy to go out, and there were many things at home.
But isn't this out for 100 days? There's nothing to do at home, the fourth room is now rich, and I don't have the luck to go to the city with my sister-in-law to see it, so it's not too much to go around the town, right?
It's just that she can't speak, and she only looks at Mei Changgui with her eyes.
Mei Changgui was pulled aside by An Huahao, and he didn't know what he was talking about, so he didn't pay attention to his daughter-in-law's desire at all.
Mrs. Li looked at the carload of buckwheat-colored children, and then looked at her son-in-law An Huahao, who was still at the door and did not enter, and only felt tired.
Look at the son-in-law, his face is so dark, and he is so handsome.
These little cubs in their own house, when it is dark, they are like charcoal, and it is estimated that they can't be pulled out of the ashes.
Especially Xiaojuan, who is almost ten years old, will be looking for someone in two years, this glance, that is, in a pile of buckwheat steamed buns, the one with a little more white flour, if you don't look carefully, you can't see the difference.
Look at Liu Xiaoqiao and Wen's again, they are like dogs, but look at what they did, it's been more than two months, and Jin Dou hasn't even found a single house, and he still has the face to go to the town?
I didn't see it at the moment, An sat up straight, and told Jin Dou: "Okay, let's go!" β
Jin Dou raised his whip, and the carriage set off steadily.
In the carriage, although the children were excited, in the end, Mrs. Li was very powerful, and they all endured their joy and sat in the carriage
γ
The weather was hot, the curtains on both sides of the carriage were lifted, and the leopard, Xiaojuan and Xiaojuan were all crowded by the window to look out, and even the mountains that they were used to seeing that day could cause them to be surprised.
After chattering all the way to the town, Mrs. Li's head was stunned.
First parked the carriage in the small yard that An Huahao had bought before, because An Huahao arranged a few people in the town to watch it, and there were people who came to clean the house from time to time.
It looked fairly clean, Mei Xiaotong asked Jin Dou to write down the carriage, led the mule to the side of the yard, and added water to drink.
The water was fetched again, and everyone washed their hands and faces, so that the heat was dissipated.
The leopards couldn't stay still, looking at this yard everywhere, they took Xiaojuan and Xiaojuan, and went to watch the excitement one room after another.
Leaving Mrs. Li and Mei Xiaotong to sit under the osmanthus tree in the yard, blowing a cool breeze.
After resting for a while, there was a knock on the door.
Jin Dou hurriedly opened the door, and a man with a hat came in, and when he saw Mrs. Li and Mei Xiaotong, he saluted: "I've seen a talented lady!" β
Mei Xiaotong hurriedly stood up: "But Brother Song called you?" β
The man nodded: "I received the flying pigeon of Master Xiucai last night, and our brother went to inquire about it early this morning, and left his brother to watch nearby, just waiting for you to come over and report to you." β
Mrs. Li also understood now, this is her son-in-law asking her to inquire about the situation of the girl in the family.
Suddenly beautiful, son-in-law is good, son-in-law is good, intimate and filial, I can't complain that I love him.
The man was a neat man, and in a few words, he made it clear that he had heard the news of the girls in the whole family.
This family is also the old man in this town, the family is quite rich, and when it comes to the generation of the whole family girl and her father, there is a brother.
The whole girl and her father are the second, known as the second child, that is the father who doesn't love his mother, and he doesn't have any other strengths, but he is very honest and obedient, especially listening to his mother's words.
Later, for the mother who married the whole girl, because she didn't want to give a dowry, she hired one in the countryside.
After the second child and his daughter-in-law got married, life was not good, there was no separation, the big and small things in the family, the housework was thrown to his daughter-in-law, and the dirty work of running errands outside was the second child.
The second daughter-in-law of the whole child was still swallowing her anger at first, but later she became pregnant with a child, because her mother-in-law asked her to wash the family's clothes in the yard with cold water in the winter.
Before Xiaoyuezi came out, she was asked to come out to work and cook and wash clothes for the family.
The daughter-in-law of the second child couldn't stand it anymore and ran back to her parents' house to complain. Fortunately, although the second daughter-in-law has only one brother, but there are many cousins and cousins, everyone is united, and they also feel sorry for her.
The second daughter-in-law is a strong character, although the division was unfair at that time, and the second room was the least, she was also content.
I saw heaven and earth brainwashing the whole second child and kept the house
's money, but slowly also controlled the whole second child.
In addition, the second daughter-in-law is pregnant again, and the second daughter is a person who has no opinions, he used to listen to his mother, but after the separation, he listened to his daughter-in-law.
That little day was also prosperous.
Later, when the child was born, it was a whole girl, because of the birth of a whole girl, her mother hurt her body, but she attached great importance to this precious girl.
But the brother of the whole family heard that the second daughter-in-law could not be reborn, and saw that he only had one daughter, so he hit the idea on the second daughter.
Every day, he said that the second child had no son to support the elderly, and he was out of the door or something.
The second child sighed every day.
The second daughter-in-law was hard, but it was a pity that her body was cold when she was the first child, and she hurt the root of the second child, and she survived until the girl was six or seven years old before she let go.
As soon as the second daughter-in-law left, the brothers became more and more shameless. There is also the old wife of the whole family, who calls the second child back every day and cries that he will end up in the future, and wants to pass on the sons of other brothers to the second child.
The second child still remembered his daughter-in-law's words at the beginning, and if he didn't agree, after a long time, where could he withstand the instigation of his mother and brother, and he moved his mind.
His two brothers were treacherous and slippery, and they wanted to get the property of the second child, and they didn't want to succeed their son, so they coaxed the second brother to take out the family's title deed or something valuable, and half of it was put into his own pocket by the wife of the whole family, and half was divided by the two brothers.
There are only two rooms left that were assigned to the family back then, one is because the whole girl is older, and they are forced to die, saying that if they really don't even leave a tile to their father and daughter, it will force her to die, anyway, she is going to die, and then she will simply stab it, so that everyone knows the face of the whole family.
Let the world know that the eldest and third eldest of the family forced their brothers and nieces to death, and everyone has a bad reputation, see who dares to marry the whole family! Not to mention anything else, the next generation of the family is also growing up one after another, and there are several daughters-in-law and daughters in the future, and it is really going to make trouble, the reputation of the whole family is stinky, and it is a joke that so many sons and daughters have smashed their hands.
Second, those two houses are not worth much, and in the future, this girl will always have to marry when she is older, as long as the whole girl marries, this house will fall into their hands sooner or later, and she will not have a bad reputation, because of this, she finally stayed.
The girl in the whole family is now sixteen years old, and now that she is about to say goodbye, her uncle is thinking again, and is asking everywhere, who wants a concubine, just say that she will give more silver.
The second child is still stupid every day, and I don't know if I really don't know or pretend not to know.
After hearing this, Mrs. Li and Mei Xiaotong glanced at each other and looked at Jin Dou, who was already so angry that his fists were clenched.
The two of them knew it in their hearts, and Mei Xiaotong asked, "How can we arrange for us to meet that girl as soon as we meet." β
The man hurriedly said: "This is simple, the girl of the whole family has relied on embroidery to barely support her and the second child all these years."
Son, every ten days to the embroidery village delivery, today is the day of delivery. β
said and looked at the sun: "It's almost time, go out and walk through two alleys, it's the embroidery village." β
So what are you waiting for?
Mei Xiaotong called out the leopards and told them to play in the yard, don't run out, and don't go to the well to play.
I promised to come back in a while and take them to the restaurant for dinner, so I was relieved to come out and lock the door outside.
The man saw that Mei Xiaotong was not at ease, and said: "Xiucai lady, please rest assured, there are brothers watching around here, and it's okay to keep the children." β
With the man's guidance, the three of them soon arrived at the embroidery village, and a few people pretended to gossip on the side of the road, and sure enough, after a while, a girl wearing an indigo dress came over, and the man who led the way coughed, and Mei Xiaotong and the three of them understood, this is the whole girl.
The whole girl came closer to see, she looked white and delicate, holding a small package, and went into the embroidery village with her head down.
Jin Dou couldn't help but take two steps forward, eager to follow the people into the embroidery village immediately.
was grabbed by Mrs. Li and glared at him: "Something that has no interest!" β
Jin Dou's face turned red, and he didn't dare to go any further, but his eyes were as if he was sticky, and he looked into the embroidery village.
The man was very knowledgeable, and knew that this was a private matter of the master's family, so he hurriedly took his leave.
Mei Xiaotong didn't leave it, and stuffed a purse: "You have worked hard, take it and drink tea." β
The man didn't shirk it, and took the purse: "Xie Xiucai's lady rewards!" The little ones are at the mouth of the alley, and if something happens, just call out. β
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Mrs. Li and the three of them waited next to them for a while, and when they saw the girl of the whole family coming out, the family was slowly doing shopping, and went to the embroidery village, just in time.
