The land at home is also well served, and it looks good this year.

I have found a private school for Xiaojuan, go every morning and return at night, these days are the private school Mr. has something to do at home, so I am at home.

Mei Xiaotong listened carefully, and slowly put her mind at ease, the days of the Mei brothers can now stand up.

Instead, Mrs. Li asked: "Boss, why did Xiaojuan go to school and Tianbao didn't go?" ”

Mei Changfu looked helpless: "That little rabbit cub, why didn't you send him there?" On the first day of my visit, I broke Mr. Ren's inkstone, on the second day, I stained Mr. Ren's book, and on the third day, I scratched Mr. Ren's clothes! Mr. Ren returned the bundle on the fourth day, and he was killed and refused to accept him as a student! said that he was afraid that he would go to school for two more days, but he was afraid that his life would be gone! ”

"He doesn't like to read himself, and asking him to go to school is like killing him, and he has to break a stick in the morning to go out. I've also thought about it, but I'm afraid that Tianbao is not a reading material, so I just let him follow us to learn to read the dog, he learns very quickly! ”

Speaking of this, Mei Changfu thought of Tianhu again, and couldn't help but sigh.

Mei Xiaotong saw Mei Changfu like this, and said busily: "Speaking of children, there is news from Tianbao's side." ”

As soon as these words came out, Mei Changfu raised his head excitedly, "Really? He...... Where is he now? How are you doing? ”

Mei Xiaotong soothed: "I asked someone to inquire, and the person with the letter said that he is fine now, following Boss Zhang's convoy, and now he is in the west, and he will come back with the caravan in half a year." I heard that in addition to his hard work in the caravan, everyone is very optimistic about him. ”

"He is still young now, and he has been training with the caravan for two years, so he will not be a big shopkeeper in the future! Big brother, don't worry! ”

As long as Mei Changfu hears that Tianhu is safe, the huge man's eyes are red: "It's good that he's doing well, it's good ......"

Jin Dou next to him comforted: "Dad, the second brother works hard outside, and he will have a great future in the future!" ”

Mei Changfu wiped his eyes, only nodded and stopped talking.

Seeing Mei Changfu like this, Mei Yonggui had no choice but to ask: "Mother, brother-in-law, sister, have you been doing well in the city these days?" I think you've brought a girl back? Bought to serve our mother? ”

As he was talking, Liu Xiaoqiao and the others had already made the rice slippery, and on this hot day, they couldn't eat meat, that is, some green vegetables, plus eggs and tofu, it was very simple.

Liu Xiaoqiao and the three concubines had set up all the meals before they came to invite, and they heard this at the door.

When Mrs. Li said this, she immediately came to her senses: "That's not it! Your brother-in-law and your sister are filial to me! I went to the city and got sick, but your brother-in-law and sister were in a hurry, your brother-in-law wanted to study, and your sister couldn't be busy alone, so I bought two mothers-in-law to serve me! It's just that when I came back this time, the house in the city still had to be guarded, so I didn't bring them back. ”

The brothers of the Mei family are still sighing that the old sister and brother-in-law have money, and they can buy a girl to serve their mother-in-law.

But Liu Xiaoqiao reacted first: "Mother, when did your old man get sick?" Why didn't you send us a letter back? Wouldn't it be cheaper for me and my sister-in-law to serve you? ”

Only then did the three brothers of the Mei family come to their senses, "Mother? What's wrong with you? Are you okay now? ”

"Mother, sit down quickly, are you okay? Does your leg hurt? Dizzy or not? ”

……

"Shut up the old lady!" The noise made Mrs. Li's head bigger.

Recite it silently three times, and you can't be angry with these mallets you are born, otherwise you will be angry, and these mallets don't know what you are angry about.

Mei Xiaotong hurriedly said: "My mother is too tired all these years, and my father is sad again, and I feel uncomfortable, and the backlog of discomfort in the past is coming, which is a little dangerous." Fortunately, my mother was lucky, and it happened that the young master of the Li family was in the county seat at the time, and he introduced the imperial doctor who returned to his hometown in the capital, so he rejuvenated and rescued his mother. That's it, my mother also lay down for a long time

Please note: Please pay attention to the rest of your eyes for a long time. 00 Recommendation:

, this body has only recovered a little. “

"At that time, the situation was urgent, Brother Song and I couldn't get out, so I had to ask two mothers-in-law to help, and then my mother's illness stabilized, I thought that when the family was really busy, if I brought you a letter, where could you get out? Up and down the family, there is also business, and there is also the field, who will you give it to? ”

"We're in the city, after all, it's more convenient, and if we spend money, we can have someone to help! Because he didn't bring the letter back. ”

Mei Xiaotong said the truth, if someone really brought the letter back at that time, in order to fulfill their filial piety, I am afraid that their brothers would have to come. Even if they don't come, several sisters-in-law will have to come.

Liu Xiaoqiao and Jiang Shi are okay, if the Zhou family comes, it will be to add chaos, don't make Mrs. Li angry.

They simply kept it a secret, so that they would not be worried.

Mei Changfu wanted to say something, but when she opened her mouth, Mrs. Li spoke impatiently: "The old lady is all right, what are you muttering?" You sisters are considerate of you, so you will be content, right? Is the meal ready? ”

Liu Xiaoqiao came back to his senses: "Okay, okay, mother, brother-in-law, little sister, let's go eat!" ”

Because the meal was made in the four-room stove house, it was placed in the four-room wing.

The children came back with their meals, and the leopard was still holding the box in his arms, and no one touched it.

When he saw Mei Xiaotong, he came over and opened the box to offer treasure: "Auntie, look-"

Mei Xiaotong looked down and saw that there was only half a box of sugar left in the box, and the other half of the box contained some fresh small mushrooms or something.

"Where are you from?" Mei Xiaotong asked.

Before Tianbao could speak, Xiaojuan rushed to say: "Tianbao exchanged it with them, saying that it was okay to eat candy and exchange it for something." Let's think about it, now there is nothing good in the mountain, just two days ago it rained a little, but there was a batch of small bead mushrooms in the mountain, although the small bead mushrooms are small, but they are not fragrant. It's just not easy to find, and every family can find it piecemeal

How many. ”

"Tianbao said that this little bead mushroom is delicious, and he will exchange it for his grandmother and aunt to eat, so he will exchange it for so much."

Tianbao glared at Xiaojuan: "Do you know how to say it with a long mouth?" Am I not without a mouth? ”

Then he grabbed all the mushrooms in the box, Xiaojuan pouted, and she was not idle, she took a big bowl, and this small bead mushroom also filled most of the bowl.

Liu Xiaoqiao, who was on the side, saw it and was happy: "This is a good thing, this half bowl is also rare, and it is the most suitable for making soup." Mother, you sit down first, I'll make some soup, otherwise it will be bad in the afternoon. ”

As he spoke, he took the bowl and went to work under the stove.

Mei Xiaotong touched the head of the leopard: "The leopard is also out of breath now, and he knows how to exchange sugar for things!" What about the rest of the sugar? ”

"I'll change it tomorrow? I've given a deposit, and whoever eats my candy today will have to bring something tomorrow! This sugar is not eaten in vain! Everyone agreed, and I'll change the delicious food for my aunt tomorrow! The leopard struggled to puff out his chest.

Feelings are still a little profiteer!

Mei Xiaotong couldn't help but want to be happy, Tianbao, this child, had a lot of problems before, but I didn't expect to see him in the past two months, but it has changed a lot.

"Heavenly Leopard is like this, but it reminds me of Heavenly Tiger, he also used this at that time, exchanging things with people with crushed sugar dregs-" Mei Xiaotong couldn't help but sigh a little, I didn't expect that the current look of this big house, in addition to Jin Dou, there is still a bit of business talent.

Today, I saw the exposure of a certain traffic niche love affair, it was still this beautiful love in the morning, and it became arsenic-frost in the afternoon, as the author of the melon-eating masses, it was really breathtaking~~

Tianbao has never been praised so much by his aunt, and the corners of his mouth can't help but grin, but when he heard Tianhu, his whole person collapsed, and his eyes were red: "Auntie, second brother, he doesn't know where he is now-"

"Your second brother is now following the caravan to the west, and he will be back in half a year!" Mei Xiaotong patted Tianbao on the shoulder: "If he comes back and knows that Tianbao is also out, he will definitely be happy!" ”

When Tianbao heard the news, he was so happy that he almost didn't hold the sugar box in his hand: "Really? ”

Since the second brother ran away from home, he knew that although the second brother scolded him and cared about him on weekdays, he still beat him at every turn!

But only the second brother cares about him so much!

Especially in the past two months, Mei Changfu has taken a break from the Zhou family, and the Zhou family has taken away all the things that can be seen in the big house, leaving only a few bare kangs and a few crooked tables and stools for Mei Changfu and his son.

Not even a decent mattress or quilt for the bed was left.

If it weren't for the fact that the weather was getting hotter, there would be no need to cover a thick quilt, but I was afraid that the father and son would freeze out.

Or Liu Xiaoqiao and they looked good, in the end, they picked up some of these things that were necessary for the family and sent them over, and each family subsidized some grain, rice and noodles, and the father and son barely survived.

Because of this, he was laughed at by other children when he went out, and the Mei family had a good life before, no

Separated from the family, everyone envied him, and now there is such a joke in his family, he doesn't play with him anymore when he stammers his little friends on weekdays, and he laughs at Zhou's outside the words.

He couldn't get angry, he had a fight with those children, and he was also painted, and he went to find Zhou aggrieved.

Unexpectedly, Zhou's scolded their family for having no conscience and being white-eyed wolves, and he was stupid at the time.

I don't know why, I remembered that my father was injured and was about to die, so my mother took him back to my parents' house, and then looked at the man.

The leopard's heart was cold at that time, and he turned his head and went home.

After that, seeing Zhou is like not seeing him.

Zhou seemed to have some remorse, and deliberately found an opportunity to block him, and talked to him in a good voice, seeing that the leopard was silent, he thought that he had moved, so he nagged that after he was taken off by Mei Changfu, life was difficult, and he was pointed at when he walked out of the door.

She also said that she now knows that she regrets it, and she is worried that the three of them, father and son, no one cooks and no one washes clothes, how can she live this life?

He also said that if Mei Changfu marries a fox spirit outside in the future, this will have a stepmother and a stepfather, where will the two brothers have a good life in the future?

The words are to let the leopard go back and make peace with Mei Changfu.

The leopard only lowered his head and did not say a word, nor did he say good, nor did he say bad.

Zhou said a few words, got impatient, and when he saw Tianbao like this, he pushed it: "Did you hear my mother talking to you?" Would you rather have that vixen out there than be your mother? ”

Only then did the leopard speak: "Don't worry! My father has already said in front of me and my eldest brother that he will not marry again, in case he marries another one like his mother, he will not be able to live that day? He was so seriously injured at the beginning, although God blessed, his brother-in-law found good medicine to cure him, but he also said that there should be no obstacle in terms of longevity. I don't know how many years I can live, so why harm others and myself? ”

"Now that the eldest brother is filial piety, he can marry his daughter-in-law and go home, and then our family will be given to the future sister-in-law. Mother is dead in this heart! ”

Tian Leopard's words were no less than a slap in Zhou's face, and Zhou wanted to give Tian Leopard two slaps.

The leopard dodged away and glared at Zhou: "Mother, I'm not a soft kid like my eldest brother, let you beat and scold!" Now that you have been suspended, it has nothing to do with our Mei family, can you live in our Mei family's old house, or for the sake of our brothers' face, you will be content, right? If it's really urgent, I'm not the kind of person who lets you rub and is forced away by you like the eldest brother and second brother, if you don't let me feel better, I won't let you feel better! ”

Zhou was so angry that he gasped: "You unfilial thing!" Something without conscience, the old lady raised you for nothing! I worked so hard to raise you so big, and I was most partial to you, and you actually treated me like this! ”

Tianbao didn't bother to talk to Zhou, and said directly: "Anyway, I put my words here, do you believe it or not!" ”

After speaking, he pulled his legs and left, Zhou wanted to chase after him, but thinking back to Tianbao's words, that look, he didn't dare to catch up.

Since then, Tianbao and Zhou seem to have a tacit understanding with each other, and they met by chance on the road, as if they didn't see each other.

Tianbao knew that in the Mei family's few rooms now, it was their big house that was the weakest, and Mei Changfu wanted to send him to study, but he really couldn't read it, and secondly, he was also distressed about the silver.

The silver was borrowed from the fourth uncle, and after the spring harvest business was over, it had to be repaid.

Therefore, after going for two days, thinking about the Fa, the master was so tormented that he did not dare to accept him as a student, and he was satisfied.

When he got home, he also accepted the temperament of the past, and slowly followed to help behind, watching the son, but he also learned a little interest.

Especially at night in a room with Jin Dou, I couldn't sleep and chatted, and I mentioned Tianhu, talking about how they used to use their odd wages to save money to buy some crushed sugar dregs or something in the town, come back to exchange for mountain goods, and then pay back the money.

The leopard's eyes lit up and he had an idea.

After the peak season of spring, a large number of mountain goods have been delivered to Boss Zhang, and the money has also been settled.

The Mei family sat down and shared the dividends, except for expenses and whatever, throughout the spring, each family shared dozens of taels of silver.

The big house had money in hand, so he first paid back the three and four rooms, and bought some things piecemeal, so the house was barely decent.

Then the spring harvest, the third room was paid to hire people to collect it, the fourth room planted the land that Mei Xiaotong originally divided, and there were people from Chongzigou to help, but it was okay.

There is not much land in the big house, and the father and son gritted their teeth and did not invite anyone, but they took it back by themselves, and it was barely enough to eat until the autumn harvest in the second half of the year.

The big house was relieved.

But the three of them didn't dare to slack off, not to mention anything else, this Jin Dou has not yet found a daughter-in-law, because of the divorce of the Zhou family, the reputation of their big house is not very good in the village, plus there is a mother-in-law like the Zhou family, I am afraid that Jin Dou's future marriage will not be easy.

What's more, most of the money for Mei Laozhu's funeral was paid by Mei Xiaotong, and the money was said to be repaid in the future.

The more you have to save more money, the more you can be sure!

Because of the rule set by Mei Xiaotong at that time, although the family was separated later, he still continued to pay monthly money to those who worked in the family every month.

After the leopard woke up, he was really good at work, and he was clever enough to look at people's eyes, but he had a bit of Mei Yonggui's temperament.

Mei Yonggui has a feeling of sympathy, and he is willing to brag with him on weekdays.

Therefore, the leopard has also saved hundreds of dollars in the past two months.

He took advantage of the fact that when he accompanied Mei Yonggui and Mei Changgui to deliver goods to the town, he also secretly bought some sugar dregs and brought them back, and coaxed the children from several nearby villages to go to the mountains to pick mountain goods and secretly exchange sugar dregs with him.

Especially those little girls, their hands and feet are nimble, only a head rope, a little sugar slag, and a few more coaxes, they couldn't be more happy.

He was also bolder, and he also went to the auspicious cloth workshop, and in the name of Mei Xiaotong, he could buy some cheap rags and other things to change hands in the village

Sell it.

After a period of time, I made a lot of money. It's just that he didn't tell anyone about this money, and even Mei Changfu and Jin Dou hid it from him.

He thought about it, and when he saved enough money, he went out to find his second brother.

Unexpectedly, when my aunt came back today, she actually told him that the second brother would come back in half a year.

Tianbao was happy, but at the same time, he felt sorry for the second brother, the second brother must have suffered a lot for others, and he couldn't get any money as an apprentice, so he had to work hard and earn more money.

After filial piety and the eldest brother married his daughter-in-law, the father said that he would give the future sister-in-law, but he couldn't believe it.

can't even rely on my mother, let alone my sister-in-law?

In case this sister-in-law is not a good one, he and his second brother will only have a hard time in the future, and he will never want to live like that again.

He wants to save more money, and when he has money, who can underestimate him and his second brother?

Thinking of this, the leopard made up his mind with the sugar box.

Mei Xiaotong didn't know that Tianbao still had such thoughts, so she only praised her hands and went to the table to eat.

Although they are all home-cooked side dishes, maybe it's because of the smell and smell, or because of the lack of Zhou's eyesore, but they are all kind.

After eating, the two daughters-in-law went to clean up, and everyone sat in the courtyard to enjoy the shade and chat.

Mrs. Li asked: "Boss, do you have a charter in your heart about Jin Dou's marriage?" I told you last time, it's time to find out, this filial piety is eighteen or nineteen, and other people's descendants are so big that they have a baby. ”

Mei Changfu also had a headache when he said this: "Mother, I'm also anxious, but our family is like this, with a mother-in-law like Zhou's, and people who look good, they don't agree." Those who are worse, I'm afraid that I will be wronged by Jin Dou......"
