Chapter 296: Chinese New Year
An Huahao replied seriously: "Uncle, a lot of broken stones were blown down by the wind on this mountain and fell in the middle of the road, and I couldn't do it." Be patient, I'll let the carriage go faster, and I'll be in town!" ”
As he spoke, without waiting for Mei to reply, the whip in his hand was raised high, and he drove the mules and horses to speed up and trot towards the town.
When they arrived in the town, Mei Chang'an's family turned pale and almost rolled off the carriage in a languishing state.
This way, they all doubted life, where was there time to talk, at the moment their legs were numb, and even their brains were numb.
Although Mei Zhongzhong is old, he is still relatively earthquake-resistant, and his face is not bad.
Anwaro sent them to the door of the town's carriage shop.
Mei Changan got out of the car, ran to the side first, and vomited up the breakfast in the morning, and the whole person felt better.
He is not stupid, and he still doesn't understand anything, An Huahao is only afraid that it is deliberate, and it makes him feel sick.
While spitting and feeling ruthless, a wild boy from the countryside dared to use such a method behind his back, don't blame him for being ruthless!
Qian and Jin Hai also ran to the side and vomited in a drowsy manner, and it took a long time to recover.
Holding on to his spirits, he ran to the carriage shop and hired a carriage.
Mei Changan disliked being too good at blowing the wind at the door, and also ran to the carriage shop to sit, only Mei Zhongzhong was still standing at the door, looking at An Huahao, and stopped talking.
Mei Zhongzhong has lived so much, and An Huahao's deliberate tossing thoughts, he also sees it in his eyes.
Although I am not happy in my heart, I can't talk about this kind of thing on the surface, I just shake my head in my heart, Hua Hao, this kid is good everywhere, it's not good at all, I listen to Xiaotong's girl for everything, isn't this clear to be angry with Xiaotong and his wife?
An Huahao didn't care what Mei Zhongzhong and Mei Changan thought.
Seeing that the person was also delivered, he was about to leave in the car, thought about it, took out a piece of broken silver from his arms, and stuffed it to Mei Zhongzhong: "Uncle, everything costs money outside, you keep yourself just in case." Also, uncle, if Mei Changan asks about the Mei family and Xiaotong again, you'd better not say anything! ”
As he spoke, he raised his whip, turned the car, and soon disappeared at the end of the street.
Over there, Mei Changan and they negotiated the price, and came out to look at Mei Zhongzhong and looked at the end of the street in a daze: "Dad, what's wrong?" ”
Mei Zhongzhong subconsciously held the silver in his palm and shook his head: "It's okay, let's go!" ”
An Huahao sent people to the town, and by the way, he went to the house left by Qin Orion and Shopkeeper Zhang.
The house is now a point of contact for him.
As soon as I entered the house, someone greeted me.
At the beginning, Ma Boss's dozen or so people were sent to a private mine by the Yu family, and by the time An Huahao found someone to buy them, two had already died, not to mention, and the rest were all seriously injured, and several of them either had broken arms or broken arms
Leg.
All of them were so thin that they were almost humanoid.
After buying it, I rested in the local area for almost half a month, and I was barely able to make it to the road, before I was escorted back to Shiqiao Town secretly.
When I arrived in Shiqiao Town, I invited a doctor to come again, and I kept the medicinal soup every day, and now I have barely recovered.
Seeing An Huahao, the life-saving benefactor, Boss Ma and his party were unruly in the past, and they are all wiped out at the moment.
Without saying a word, he knelt down on the spot for Xie An Huahao's life-saving grace.
An Huahao also did not hypocritically say that he didn't want to reciprocate by saving everyone.
Before the words fell, Mrs. Li picked up the silver ticket, looked up and down for a long time, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt bottomless, and stuffed the silver ticket into Mei Xiaotong's hand: "Girl, look at it, it won't be fake, right?" That little brute, the title deeds he got back were all fake, this silver ticket-"
said and looked at Mei Xiaotong with a blank eye.
Mei Xiaotong held the silver ticket, everyone's eyes were staring at the silver ticket and Mei Xiaotong, and Mei Xiaotong felt a lot of pressure when she saw it.
I took a closer look at the silver ticket and took out a silver ticket of five taels to compare, which was a little different, but I really couldn't find a flaw.
After thinking about it, he said: "This, we can't recognize it, why don't we go to the town tomorrow to find someone to see?" ”
However, according to her understanding of Mei Changan's character, it is estimated that it is likely to be fake.
This reminds her, how to distinguish the authenticity of this silver ticket, but she also has to study hard, and she is afraid that the days of dealing with silver tickets will be long in the future, and she can't not understand anything, right?
There were few stupid people present, thinking of Mei Changan's criminal record, and they all felt that this silver ticket was fake.
Mrs. Li's face sank, and the other people saw that Mrs. Li's face was wrong, and they all dispersed with interest.
As soon as the people were finished, Mrs. Li slapped the table angrily: "Why didn't I think of this place earlier, otherwise I should have dragged the second brute to find someone to see if I got the silver ticket, and confronted him face to face!" ”
"It's good to let him go now! This brute, this is not at all concerned about the family's dedication to him for so many years, he has made a fortune, and he has to use fake silver tickets to deceive his family! ”
Mei Xiaotong and An Huahao hurriedly stepped forward to comfort them, and it took a long time for Mrs. Li to calm down.
sneered: "Even if this silver ticket is fake, the old lady has nothing to lose!" At most, you lost three bowls of chicken noodle soup, but you foolish dad! also treated the second brute as a good son, and followed him upside down. Fortunately, he was not completely confused, and left the principal and silver, otherwise, I am afraid that he will be coaxed by the second brute! ”
After speaking, he glared at Mei Xiaotong and An Huahao: "You are not allowed to pick up that old fool, let him go with his most valued good son, kiss Xiang Xiang enough!" ”
Mei Xiaotong smiled and nodded: "Mother, don't worry!" We're not going to pick it up! Let Dad go to the city for a few days of happiness! ”
Mrs. Li was originally in her heart
was angry, but when she thought of Mei Zhongzhong's old foolish mood after learning the true face of the second child, she suddenly felt less angry.
The next day, An Huahao took Mei Xiaotong and Mei Changqing, as well as Mei Xiaoque and Mei Changgui, to the town together to find someone to identify the silver ticket.
As expected, this silver ticket just can't be used.
This is a silver ticket that has expired and become invalid, and after the issuance of this two-hundred-tael silver ticket, a forged version appeared for a while, so this version of the silver ticket was later abolished.
Mei Changan didn't know where to get this abolished silver ticket, and it didn't seem to have any problems, but it was worthless.
Mei Changqing was so angry that she scolded her mother on the spot.
Mei Xiaotong and An Huahao were very calm, they watched the person who identified the silver ticket stamped the invalid stamp on the silver ticket.
I also asked people very sincerely how to distinguish the authenticity of silver tickets.
When I got out of the house and got into the carriage, the atmosphere was very dull.
Mei Xiaotong smiled: "What's this, without his two hundred taels of silver, our lives would be the same." Besides, this also reminds us that in the future, we will definitely have to fight with silver tickets
Dealing, today I learned more about how to distinguish the increase in silver tickets, and when we encounter such a thing, we will know how to distinguish the true from the false, and we will not be fooled, which is also a good thing! ”
The expressions on Mei Changqing's faces have improved, after all, no matter how you say it, whether this silver is real or false can't reach their hands, it is also the little sister Mei Xiaotong who suffers the most, she doesn't care, but it seems that the brothers are too old.
Or Mei Xiaoque mentioned: "Since this silver ticket is fake, then Dad will follow the second child to the city, it will be fine, right?" ”
Mei Changqing cut off: "It's good to let my father go and see the true face of the second child, otherwise he won't believe it no matter what we say." ”
Regarding Mei Changqing's opinion, the brothers all acquiesced.
These days, Mei Zhongzhong's unreasonable partiality towards Mei Changan makes her sons not very happy. At this moment, there is a kind of weirdness, so that the father can also see the true face of his most eccentric son.
※※※
Mei Zhongzhong left, and the Mei family quieted down.
Mei Yongzhen didn't dare to come to the door, and the door of the old house was closed every day.
The brothers of the Mei family also breathed a sigh of relief.
The next thing is to be busy with the New Year.
It is necessary to clean, to prepare delicious food for the New Year, and to sacrifice to the gods.
Men and women are busy.
On the morning of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Mei Xiaoque, as the eldest, took several younger brothers and sons and nephews to the ancestral hall early in the morning to worship the ancestors, offered tribute, and asked the ancestors to bless the family with peace and prosperity.
Then go home, the New Year's dinner is ready.
Placed in the big room, two long tables are put together, and Mrs. Li sits on the top, and then
The male side and the female side sit separately.
It stands to reason that An Huahao should spend the New Year alone, but Mrs. Li felt sorry for him alone, so she simply called him over.
The family sat around, everyone with a smile on their faces.
The food on the table is very rich, flying in the sky, swimming in the water, running on the ground, the mountains are delicious, there are twelve dishes.
The portions are full and the table is full.
In front of the men was a small jar of fine wine.
In Mei Zhongzhong's absence this year, Mei Xiaoque played this role, said a few words of blessing, and said his hope for the coming year, and then first toasted the heavens and the earth and the ancestors with three glasses of wine.
before signaling to start eating.
Tianbao and the children can't wait for a long time, since last night, the Mei family's yard has been wafting with the smell of meat, what steamed meat, what fried meatballs, fried twist flowers, sun-dried sweet potato chips, and pastries wrapped in maltose.
A firewood stove is also set up in the yard, and washed and dried sand is put in and fried rice, chestnuts, peanuts, and other dried fruits.
These are children's favorites and snacks to entertain guests during the Chinese New Year.
The women were busy all day and half the night yesterday, and it was half a day in the morning before they got up for this table.
The children's favorite thing is meatballs and big elbows.
Men like braised pork, as well as marinated pork head, crispy pork ears, and crispy peanuts, which are the most suitable for wine.
This is the most sumptuous New Year's meal for the Mei family for so many years, and the children eat with round stomachs and oily mouths.
The men also blushed from drinking, and looked forward to next year, full of confidence.
The women had finished eating, and gathered around to gossip.
The men drank so loudly that when they had drunk a jar of wine, they opened another jar.
In the end, he was a little drunk, and Mei Xiaoque drank too much and was just like him usually, holding the table leg and sitting down silently.
Mei Changqing drank too much, but he was full of interest, slapped the table, stepped on the stool, and complained all over the place, saying that everyone looked down on him and thought he was a gangster.
For a while, he boasted about Haikou, saying that he would definitely be able to be the father of the master in the future, and when the time came, he would let his father see who was the best father.
As soon as Wen heard Mei Changqing's nonsense, he said that he was embarrassed to let his father call him a father.
Fortunately, this father-in-law is not at home, otherwise there will be a fight during the New Year.
With a red face, he dragged Mei Changqing back to the house.
Mei Changgui also drank high, and looked for Liu Xiaoqiao all over the house: "Daughter-in-law-where is my daughter-in-law?" ”
Liu Xiaoqiao is also a new daughter-in-law, under the eyes of her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, she blushed, and stepped forward to pinch Mei Changgui: "What are you shouting?" Shame on you, go back to the house—"
Mei Changgui was extremely aggrieved: "Daughter-in-law, you pinch again."
I-"
Liu Xiaoqiao stumbled, almost didn't fall, and he couldn't wait to leave Mei Changgui, a drunk, behind.
looked down at Mei Changgui's pitiful appearance, and still grabbed his hand and didn't let go, his heart softened again, his mouth was disgusted, but he pulled Mei Changgui back against him.
Mei Xiaotong looked at An Huahao very vigilantly.
This guy doesn't pull himself by getting drunk again, it's daytime, and his mother is still on the side.
An Huahao's face was a little red, and his eyes, which were usually dark, were now covered with a layer of water, removing a little bit of the cold air on weekdays.
also had a little wine, but he didn't hold Mei Xiaotong, just a pair of eyes, as if they were growing on Mei Xiaotong, wherever Mei Xiaotong went, his eyes looked.
He didn't speak, he didn't shout, he sat straight and straight, and his neck followed the movement of his eyes.
Mrs. Li was angry and funny.
instructed Tianlong to help Mei Xiaoque to the house to rest, and asked Zhou and Xiaoque to clean up the remnants.
Then pat Mei Xiaotong: "Hua Hao is drunk, help him to lie down in the room next to you, and he will keep the New Year at night." ”
Mei Xiaotong had no choice but to step forward to help An Huahao and go to the backyard.
Take him to the house where he usually embroiders and settles accounts, let An Huahao lie on the kang, put a thin quilt on him, and get up.
Before he got up, he was grabbed by An Huahao.
Mei Xiaotong turned around, An Huahao grabbed her hand, kissed her on the lips with attachment, and then held it firmly and pressed it under her cheek.
Mei Xiaotong......
wanted to withdraw his hand, but was grabbed tightly by An Huahao, and said in his mouth: "Xiaotong, don't go, accompany me-"
Mei Xiaotong knew that she couldn't reason with a drunk person, so she had to lower her body and say softly: "I'm not leaving, I'll pour you a glass of water to drink, okay?" ”
An Huahao's eyes stared at Mei Xiaotong's pink lips, and he only felt that a fire was burning in his heart, making his mouth dry.
At the moment, he couldn't hear or see anything, he just felt that the pink lips, which looked like he wanted people to take a bite of, must be very sweet......
Mei Xiaotong was scorched by Anhua Hao's eyes with a hint of indescribable desire, and her heart skipped a beat, and her intuition was not good, so she was about to get up.
was pulled into a familiar embrace by a force, steaming with shallowness
Mei Xiaotong ran the physical fitness operation, and sure enough, it was the same as the hanging, and there was no need for ventilation when kissing.
Satisfied, An Huahao's mouth was swollen, and he was very brave enough to try a French kiss, so that An Huahao was so dizzy that he almost flew into the sky.
I was so satisfied that I was about to moan, but my body was so empty that I was clamoring to rub Xiaotong into my body.
I wanted to reach out and hold Xiaotong several times, but I was pressed by Xiaotong to death, and finally had to give up and let Xiaotong go
Tong is wanton on himself.
The alcohol surged up, and he tried to sober himself up, but he finally fell asleep after calling Xiaotong in a low voice.
Mei Xiaotong is very complacent, hum! They all said that they learn things quickly, but it's just a kiss, everyone is the first time, why does An Huahao take the initiative, but he can only be passive?
This time, I finally got my face back and put An Huahao to sleep!
After the triumph, reason returned, and Mei Xiaotong finally felt the presence of another person in the house.
turned his head and looked at Mrs. Li's indescribable eyes.
Looking at the posture of himself and An Huahao at the moment, he was suddenly startled, hurriedly turned over and got off An Huahao, and squeezed out a smile in embarrassment: "Mother, I-"
Mrs. Li thought back to the scene just now, and felt that her old face was feverish, and she coughed reluctantly, "That, Xiaotong, although Hua Hao, this kid is a son-in-law who came to our house, but don't bully others too much!" ”
Mei Xiaotong, what did I bully him?
"Look at you, what kind of bullying other people's children in broad daylight! Pay attention, too! Hua Hao's kid is thin-skinned, how about you save some face for others, you know? You can't just rely on your strength! I haven't gotten married yet, so I'm a little bit restrained! When you get married, whatever you want......"
Mrs. Li told carefully.
The more Mei Xiaotong listened, the more she felt wrong, right? Mother, which side are you on?
After Mrs. Li gave her instructions, she thought about it, and felt that Hua Hao's child looked very good, and she couldn't resist her own girl, no, she had to find a little tonic to make up for Hua Hao's child, otherwise when she got married, wouldn't she be a daughter who suffered.
Thinking about it like this, Mrs. Li didn't have the heart to watch the New Year at night and pay New Year's greetings tomorrow.
I took the key and went to the back warehouse to pick up the tonics.
Mei Xiaotong......
※※※
By the time An Huahao woke up, it was already the next morning.
Before I opened my eyes, I smelled a faint familiar fragrance, which was the smell of Xiaotong's body.
I still faintly heard Mrs. Li's voice in my ears.
An Huahao opened his eyes suddenly, and immediately found that he was actually lying in the room where Xiaotong usually lived.
It was already dawning, and An Huahao never knew that he could sleep so deeply.
Although he drank yesterday, he knew in his heart, and he still remembered that it was Xiaotong who helped him back to the house in the end.
also remembers that he was reluctant to hold Xiaotong's hand and not let go.
