"Where did you hear about this?" Mei Xiaotong narrowed her eyes.

"Well, that's not some of the rumors that the third brother heard when he was in the town before, and he was closer to those people! After I went back, I specially told me not to mess with the shopkeeper Zheng! You have to walk around the restaurant when you walk...... "Mei Changgui "touched" and "touched" the back of his head, and couldn't help but mutter, "I don't know where the third brother is now, is there no more entanglement-"

Mei Xiaotong snorted coldly, "Dad is sick, eldest brother is injured, there are so many things at home, and I haven't seen him come back." Don't think about the bad, think about the good, I guess he must have died outside! ”

Mei Changgui was taken aback, looked at Mei Xiaotong's cold face, didn't dare to make a sound, "touched" "touched" the sweat on his forehead, and lit a wax for the third brother who didn't know where he was still wasting.

Back in Lingshan Village, at the entrance of the village, I actually saw An Huahao.

He should have been waiting here, and when he saw the two of them, he immediately greeted them.

Mei Changgui also walked a few steps forward quickly, "Brother Song, are you waiting for us here?" Something? After the tempering of going to the village to promote his own mountain goods business in the past few days, Mei Changgui is not so lacking in heart.

An Huahao raised his eyes, looked at Mei Xiaotong, who was still walking slowly behind him, and nodded, "I have something to look for you, can I go to your house and say?" ”

Mei Changgui was stunned, "What's the matter?" ”

"It's about Brother Xiaoque!" An Huahao only said these few words.

Mei Changgui was excited: "What happened to my eldest brother?" Let's go to my house! ”

Drag An Huahao away.

Mei Xiaotong rolled her eyes unceremoniously in the back, and quickened her pace to follow.

I didn't expect An Huahao to be so positive, the "medicine" given to him yesterday was sent today, see how he gets through.

After entering Mei's house, everyone went home, and Wen was busy cooking dinner in the stove house.

Several children have also worked hard these days, and it is rare that the dried meat has been smoked and roasted, and Mrs. Li thought that the family would have income again, so she relaxed a little and let them rest in the yard.

Mei Zhongzhong and Mei Xiaoque were also carried out and rested in the courtyard.

Seeing the three of them entering the courtyard, several children gathered around, "Auntie, auntie, are you back?" ”

After Tianbao left from the Zhou family, he was educated by his two elder brothers every day, and a few days ago, the Mei family's land was sold, he went out, listened to a lot of gossip, and was disgusted by his friends, and finally understood some things.

It's a lot more honest now.

After eating the sugar cake yesterday, the gluttonous worm in the stomach was hooked, and today I heard that the old aunt and the fourth uncle went to the town again, so I looked forward to them coming back and bringing something delicious.

Except for Tianlong and Tianhu, who are older and can hold on, the other little beans are all counting on this in their hearts.

Mei Xiaotong really didn't disappoint them, today she brought a small sesame biscuit to one person, one is the size of an egg, handed it to Tianbao, and asked him to give one to each member of the family, and finally he could be himself

Eat.

Tianbao's eyes lit up, and he carefully took the cloth bag, first gave Mei Zhongzhong one, and then gave Mrs. Li one, and then came down in turn, even An Huahao had a baked cake in his hand, so he took one for himself, and the rest was placed on the table in an orderly manner, not daring to move.

Mei Xiaotong smiled at this time, it seems that the child Tianbao can still be taught.

Mrs. Li was originally going to take back all the baked cakes, but when she saw that there was still An Huahao, an outsider, she barely held back, and only glared at Mei Xiaotong.

This girl will spend money "messily", such a good sesame baked cake, isn't it good to buy a few less and eat it yourself as a snack in the house?

Mei Xiaotong winked at her, what else could Mrs. Li do?

Because I felt that An Huahao's attitude had changed last time, Mrs. Li can now be stable, take a bite of the baked cake, and then ask, "An family is born, do you have something to do with my house?" ”

An Huahao cleared his throat and glanced at Mei Xiaotong before he began to make up the story.

said that in order to thank Mei Xiaotong for saving his life, he thought about it for a few days, and remembered that Mei Xiaotong said that he was worried about his eldest brother's injury, so he went into the mountains today and found a strange person who lived in Da Heishan. This strange man is also an old hunter, because he is often injured, it is common to break legs and arms.

So several generations have pondered a prescription that is particularly effective in treating this broken leg or something.

He begged for a long time, and the strange man reluctantly gave a bottle of "medicine", saying that it could be cured, but this "medicine" had side effects, that is, even if the injury was healed, after all, it was a broken bone, and when it rained, the injured place would be sore and unbearable.

In addition, the effect of this "medicine" is too strong, and after taking it, it will have a certain impact on the number of lifespans, which varies from person to person, ranging from ten years to four or five years.

As he spoke, he took out the bottle given by Mei Xiaotong and put it on the table, "I begged for this 'medicine', and I also made it clear about the side effects, whether I take it or not, it's up to Brother Xiaoque himself." ”

The whole family was staring at the bottle of 'medicine', especially Mei Xiaoque, who was so excited that her hands were trembling and her eyes were red.

As long as you can stand up, as long as you are not a waste! What is the pain on a rainy day? Can it be more painful than it is now?

Affect the number of life, what are you afraid of living ten or eight years less? Even if he can only live for a year or two after convincing this "medicine", he is willing!

Tianlong, Tianhu, and Tianbao didn't even gnaw on the baked cakes, and their eyes were staring at the "medicine", as if they were looking at a life-saving elixir.

Mei Xiaotong saw that everyone's attention was on the "medicine", and nodded at An Huahao and gave a thumbs up, it's very okay, big brother, this story is made, if it weren't for the "medicine" given by himself, almost he would have believed it.

A smile flashed in An Huahao's eyes, and he lowered his head to nibble on the baked cake.

Mei Xiaotong then spoke, "Big brother, this 'medicine' is here, whether you need it or not, it's yours!" You think about it! But let's talk about it first, this "medicine" is something that Brother Song doesn't know how much effort he has spent to get it. If you decide to use this

A "medicine", no matter whether this "medicine" has an effect or not, what the effect will be, and affect the number of lifespans, you can't blame Brother Song in the future! I can't be grateful to people now, and if there is a problem at that time, I will blame this "medicine" for not being good! People are not right! If you can do it, this "medicine" will be kept, and you will think about taking it! If you can't do it, let Brother Song take this "medicine" away! ”

Although Mrs. Li is eccentric, she is still very clear about this kind of thing, and immediately said, "Xiaotong is very right!" Our Mei family, we can't do such an ungrateful thing! Hua Hao's later life, he got this "medicine", it is kind! Whether you use it or not, it's up to us! If you only think about it now, and you don't think about it clearly, you use the "medicine", and in the future, you will turn your face and blame others, don't blame the old lady for smoking the soles of her shoes! ”

Mei Zhongzhong can also speak now, but he has to be slow, "Boss...... Think about it...... Thank you for ......."

Indeed, no matter what An Huahao said in order to repay the grace of saving his life, he has to thank others for this heart!

Mei Xiaoque's hands trembled, and her lips trembled, "This 'medicine'!" I use! Thank you, Brother Anjia! I, Mei Xiaoque, am not the ungrateful brute who picks up the bowl and shouts to his mother, puts down his chopsticks and scolds his mother! I, Mei Xiaoque, swear hereby that no matter what the effect of this "medicine" is, it is my own decision, and any harm has nothing to do with others! Celestial Dragon, Celestial Tiger, Celestial Leopard! Remember? ”

The three Tianlong brothers nodded again and again, "Dad, we remember!" ”

Tianhu even knelt in front of An Huahao, and snorted a few times, "Uncle Xie Song!" ”

An Huahao hurriedly stepped aside and pulled Tianhu up, "I can't stand it!" This "medicine" was found by me in order to repay your aunt for saving her life, and when it comes to it, you want to thank you, or thank your aunt! ”

Mei Xiaoque looked at Mei Xiaotong's eyes, indescribable, she was really grateful, and she couldn't wait to repay her with her life.

Anhua Hao hurriedly explained the way to take the "medicine", just one drop a day, it should be fine in a month, pay more attention in the future.

After that, I have to say goodbye.

Where can the Mei family let him go?

Mrs. Li is rare and generous, "The third family, eat the noodles at night!" Steam that jerky, there's a guest tonight! ”

Wen also heard it in the stove house, and was naturally happy, if the uncle could get better, the Mei family's life would be more promising.

I was busy agreeing, and I didn't mention it when I went to "knead" the dough.

Mrs. Li also went back to the house, "touched" a few eggs, and took out a small jar of meat sauce, muttering, "Today is cheap!" ”

I went to the vegetable garden to find and "touch" the greens, but I didn't mention it.

Tianlong had already nervously handed the bottle of "medicine" to Mei Xiaoque, and Mei Xiaoque rubbed the bottle for a long time before opening it carefully, and a pungent smell of "medicine" rushed into his nose.

But he felt that it smelled better than anything else in the world.

Mei Xiaotong saw that he was excited, so he let Tianlong

The brothers carried Mei Xiaoque back and let him bring a bowl of warm water in, so that Mei Xiaoque could take the "medicine".

The three brothers were nervous, Mei Xiaoque, Xiaoque, and they all followed up.

The courtyard suddenly fell silent.

Mei Changgui's eyes were red, and he patted An Huahao's shoulder, "Brother Song, I have written down your love!" ”

An Huahao slowly bit the baked cake and said lightly, "You're welcome!" ”

Mei Xiaotong really couldn't look at it, so she simply got up and went to look at the dye vat mixed with lime water last night.

After a night and a day of precipitation, the tank presents two distinct layers, the top is the light blue "color" of the water, and the bottom is the deeper "color" of the blue "color" dye adsorbed by the lime.

If it was before, she would definitely need someone to help, or use a scoop to slowly scoop out the water, but now she has the power to easily push the tank to a certain angle.

Let the water flow out slowly.

The blue "color" water attracted the attention of Mei Changgui and An Huahao.

The two walked over, and An Huahao glanced at Mei Xiaotong.

The last time he heard that Mei Xiaotong was going to dye cloth, looking at the posture, he really looked good, could he really dye it?

"Little sister, what are you doing here? What are these? Mei Changgui looked curiously.

If there is a shallow blue "color" thing left in the tank, you have to reach out and "touch" it.

Before Mei Xiaotong could stop it, he was dragged away by An Huahao, "I haven't asked clearly, don't 'mess' and 'touch'!" ”

Mei Changgui looked up and saw Mei Xiaotong's face, and immediately jumped away, "I don't 'touch'!" No more 'touching'! ”

"In the future, no one is allowed to approach this tank without my consent, do you hear?"

This was said to the Mei family, and I thought that Mei Changgui would tell everyone in the family.

Mrs. Li happened to find and "touch" a basket of vegetables from the vegetable garden, and when she came in through the back door, she immediately echoed, "In the future, your aunt's house, as well as these things that your aunt is messing with, are not allowed to touch!" You are not allowed to go out and talk about it! Otherwise, if you are discovered, you will get out of the Mei house for the old lady! Hear no! ”

Inside the house, outside the house, they all said they heard it.

An Huahao looked at Mrs. Li's way of defending Mei Xiaotong like this, something flashed in her eyes, and she turned her head to look at Mei Xiaotong.

Mei Xiaotong was observing the situation of the dye in the vat, and at the same time communicated with Xiao Tongtong, "Xiao Tongtong, how do I think this color is not blue enough, did I fail this time?" ”

Xiao Tongtong's attitude is now comparable to that of the x cat customer service in the previous life, "Dear, please rest assured, after the calculation of this system, your chance of success this time is 90%!" Now it is necessary to dry this process, and when the water in it has evaporated, like a sticky porridge, it will be successful! ”

Mei Xiaotong temporarily put her mind at ease.

When the meal was ready, it was not dark yet, so I simply ate it in the yard.

Eat noodles at night, Li Po

It's rare to be willing to give up, and I fried two kinds of cheeks.

Tomatoes, eggs, and green pepper meat sauce.

Another plate of steamed eggplant, sprinkled with minced garlic and chopped red peppers, spicy and fragrant, poured a little hot oil on the pan, it was very fragrant.

The dried meat is sprinkled with minced garlic and chopped peppers, and it is steamed thoroughly, giving it a unique flavor.

The noodles are brought up in large pots, and fresh greens and chives are placed in them.

After serving, one person scoops a bowl and then pours it on the rice and stirs it, which makes people have an appetite.

When An Huahao was at home, Song's mother could only cook and eat, she was always harsh on herself, less oil and less salt.

Later, he cooked by himself, because in the mountains, he practiced the art of barbecue, but it was his turn to cook this kind of home-cooked meal.

It's really rare to eat, so I feel very good and comfortable.

Especially a group of children in the Mei family, all of them can eat.

He also ate an extra bowl of noodles.

After the meal, Mrs. Li also stuffed him with a small jar of wolf meat sauce and more than half a catty of jerky.

By the way, he also explained, "Don't be stupid, I'll give it to your mother when I go back, and I'll run to the table of An's house before I get to it tomorrow!" Learn to be obedient, put it in your room and hide it, and when you go to the mountains one day, you can bring this meat sauce and dried meat! ”

An Huahao had never been told like this, so he was stunned.

Mrs. Li was suddenly unhappy, "What's the matter, my wife doesn't like to hear this?" ”

An Huahao hurriedly shook his head, "I know, thank you, auntie!" "It's a bit well-behaved and obedient.

Mrs. Li nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, it's all for the sake of your medicine, don't think that I will give you a good face, you will climb the pole!" Hmph—"

He shook his hands and went into the house.

Mei Changgui was afraid that An Huahao would think too much, and he had to explain two sentences for his mother, "Brother Song, my mother doesn't mean anything else, she is-"

"I know! Auntie, this is distressing for me! An Huahao took over the conversation.

Then I heard the sound of something hitting in the house.

Mei Xiaotong glared at An Huahao, this person has a problem with his brain, right? When he said this, his hairs stood up, and it is estimated that Mrs. Li in the house was also scared and bumped into something, right?

Busy into the house.

I only saw Mrs. Li rubbing her legs, and when she saw her daughter coming in, she hurriedly pulled her daughter, "Isn't this An family born in the afterlife?" ”

The brain is definitely not clear, I just can't get used to Song Chunhua, just such a son, I don't honestly guard my son's life, and I still stick to my mother's house, it's just a hole in my brain.

What's there to post about that mother's house? All the belongings are pasted in, and her nephew will be able to provide for her in the future?

An Huahao in his later life, although he was annoyed by things before, he can say in conscience that he is really filial to his unobtrusive mother.

For the other one,

Such a mother, who sticks to her mother's house every day, has already kicked her out.

An Huahao didn't have a family at such an age, and he was really affected by his mother.

I don't know how Song Chunhua's brain grows, she doesn't hurt when she is born, she hurts five people with foreign surnames, no wonder she was a maid for others, and she was slept with by a nobleman, she didn't know how to seize the opportunity, and she was driven back!

It's all pig brains!

Blind for such a filial son!

※※※

Mei Xiaoque had the medicine that An Huahao brought and hope, and her spirit was immediately different.

The atmosphere of the Mei family is also much more relaxed.

After Mei Xiaotong had the semi-finished product of indigo dye, she also had confidence.

I'm going to dig up some other plants and dye them in two more colors.

You can try the madder again last time and see if there are any other sources of plant dyes.

With the precedent of Mei Xiaotong going up the mountain last time and encountering wolves, this time she wanted to go up the mountain alone, it was absolutely impossible.

Not only did Mei Changgui follow, but he also called An Huahao.

Mei Xiaotong has currently suppressed the Xiao Tongtong system that is still under probation, so she is naturally not in a hurry to do the love task, and she doesn't want to have too much contact with An Huahao for the time being.

Immediately excused himself, "Fourth brother, what are you calling Brother Song to do?" Is there anything going on at home? Why bother people with such a trivial matter? It's not good for you to let people agree, it's not good not to agree, isn't it embarrassing? With me here, are you still afraid that the wolf will take you away? ”

is also by the way to remind Mei Changgui, you can't think that he and An Huahao are good brothers, just call someone else if there is nothing to do, and people don't owe you?

Don't talk about how An Huahao is, and don't say what the purpose of helping the Mei family a few times at that time was, but people always help the Mei family more or less, right?

Especially Mei Xiaoque's matter, thanks to him, right?

Even if he and An Huahao broke off the marriage contract, An Huahao is sorry for the Mei family and the original owner, but the interaction between people is not like this.

Blindly giving and blindly taking are not long-term solutions.

If Mei Changgui can't even understand these truths, how can she rest assured that he will go out to collect mountain goods in the future of the Mei family's mountain goods business?

Mei Changgui paused for a moment, but he didn't think much about it, and said, "What is this, it's just a trivial matter!" Besides, he also went up to the mountains to hunt if he had something to do, so we happened to be on the way, what's the big deal? Little sister, you just think too much! ”

Mei Xiaotong held her forehead.
