Finally, the door of Mei's house opened today, and looking at the several cars dragging belongings at the door, the people of Lingshan Village couldn't help but smack their tongues.

Obediently, this girl from the Mei family has saved a lot of belongings, and the boy from the An family has really picked up a big bargain.

Mei Yongzhen of the old house also heard the movement, two days ago, the wood came back, he had just found a good job, the lord saw that he was honest and willing to work, and he didn't talk much, he was quite satisfied, and the work at home was handed over to him.

Mu didn't have time to come back, thinking that he would finish the affairs of the main family, and it was almost time for spring ploughing, and when the time came, he would go back to help a few uncles and aunts spring ploughing, so as to repay him.

Unexpectedly, before the work at hand was over, I heard people say that Lingshan Village was in the limelight, and an old man from the countryside died.

It can be seen that the child is filial!

There are also countless old people, who are envious in their hearts, why do people die so beautifully when they are fathers, they are fathers, and they also make cows and horses for their sons?

It became a hot topic in the town for a while.

happened to be heard by the wood, why did the more he listened, the more wrong it became, ran out and asked, straightened his eyes, who is this not his maternal grandfather?

My grandfather died? The wood grieved from his heart, wept bitterly, and went to say goodbye to the master's house.

When the main family heard that his grandfather was dead, he was embarrassed to keep it, and happily settled his wages and let him go home.

When Mu went home, he knew that his grandfather had been buried, bought paper money, ran to the grave and cried alone, burned the paper money, and when he went home, he saw that Mei Yongzhen was already a little confused.

Lying on the bed, I don't know how to get up to eat and drink without calling her, I stupidly hold a piece of clothing and call my dad at every turn, cry whimpering at night, and always have nightmares and say I'm sorry.

Although Mei Yongzhen is a little upside down, she is also her own mother, and Mu Tou listened patiently for several days before she barely figured it out, her mother was guilty and scared, and she always felt that her grandfather's death was related to her, and she was stunned for a while.

Mei Yongzhen is like this, where does Mu dare to let her be alone at home? I had to dispel the idea of going to odd jobs again, thinking about it, I was afraid that what my grandfather said at the beginning, let me be an apprentice and work for my grandfather's family business for a long time.

He also felt that he was not the material for business, so it was better to be honest, rent other people's fields and plant them, and be able to support him and Mei Yongzhen, his mother-in-law, and someone to take care of Mei Yongzhen.

On the night of the first seven, on behalf of Mei Yongzhen, he also kept watch for Mei Zhongzhong all night, so he naturally knew the news that Mei Xiaotong was leaving.

At this moment, the wood opened the door of the old house, walked out, and respectfully handed over a clean package, not big: "This is a little bit of our heart, and please accept it from my aunt and uncle." ”

Mei Xiaotong looked at the wood and took the package, she knew that the wood was an honest child and filial piety.

Especially now, after Mei Yongzhen is a little stimulated

, the brain is clear for a while, and the confusion for a while makes the wood suffer a lot.

And this silent young man didn't say anything, and took on a family by himself.

After thinking about it, Mei Xiaotong asked more: "What are you going to do in the future?" ”

Mu was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Mei Xiaotong to ask this, and lowered his head: "I've already thought about it, let's see if anyone rents land for people to plant in the village, I have a few acres of land, although it is harder, but one can take care of my mother, and the other can also have a full stomach......

Mei Xiaotong understood, Mu Tou knew that Mei Zhongzhong's death had something to do with his mother, and he felt guilty in his heart, so he was embarrassed to accept the help of the Mei family anymore.

Now it seems that this wood is still desirable, looking at the panicked eyes of the wood, Mei Xiaotong sighed.

After thinking about it, he said: "I once tenanted Wu Dashanren's five acres of land in the village last year, and now I want to go to the capital, and I have no time to take care of it, and my family's land has also been rented out." If you think it's okay, I'll sublease the five acres of land to you, and you can pay some rent at the end of the year. ”

Mu's eyes lit up, knowing that this was Mei Xiaotong sympathizing with herself. But he was still happy, and it was better to have someone to sympathize with than to hate someone, right? “

At that moment, he had a pair of red eyes and solemnly thanked him.

Mei Xiaotong's last remaining worries are gone.

said goodbye to his family, got into the carriage, and slowly left in the eyes of everyone.

The people in the village dispersed one after another, and the Mei brothers walked together, and they didn't know what to do on the way home. My heart was empty and I didn't hit the ground.

Especially when I returned to my new house, the door to the third courtyard and the last courtyard was never closed.

In the past few days, only three people have walked, but it feels like the whole yard is empty.

The leopard and a few of the younger children were locked in the house so that they wouldn't go out, and what did the ghost cry wolf like?

Now when I went home, I opened the door, and the children slipped out, crying and shouting, and the yard became more and more empty.

The Mei brothers looked at each other in different forms, and suddenly felt uncomfortable in their hearts......

What do the Mei brothers think, Mrs. Li and Mei Xiaotong can't take care of it, the two of them are sitting in the carriage, thinking about how to furnish and arrange in the house in the county seat, and they are talking enthusiastically.

An Huahao sat outside the carriage, listening to the sound inside, although the wind was cold on his face, his heart was hot.

Thinking about the beautiful life that is about to be in the county, the corners of his mouth can't help but curl, but he quickly suppresses it.

Because I had already asked for the Changfeng Dart Bureau, as soon as the things arrived, I repaired them for a while, and then set off with the dart team.

This time it was the Lu steward who went out to dart, and now he is easy not to dart, this dart, firstly, because of the good relationship with An Huahao and Mei Xiaotong, and secondly, the last time he came back from Yongcheng, An Huahao asked Lu Steward to tell him about the follow-up of Yongcheng and Gao Jin's fate

Oneself.

At present, his subordinates only have the power to the state capital, and the news in the capital is not flexible enough, so there is no way, so they can only use the dart game.

Steward Lu knew that they were coming back from Yongcheng, and Mei Zhongzhong was still dead in Yongcheng, so it was understandable to care about this.

However, I inquired about the Yongcheng case and inquired a lot of gossip. It turned out that Zhu Haoran was almost all the participants in the private mining case, and there were few clean ones up and down the county government, and almost all of them were implicated.

Come to think of it, if you don't get involved, you won't be able to get along in the county government.

Not to mention that there are also many officials at the state level who are also involved.

After Zhu Haoran's sweep, the officialdom of the entire Ping'an Prefecture was wiped out, and at least one-third of the positions were vacant.

In Qicheng County, in particular, there are almost no officials available.

Zhu Haoran originally planned to take the people involved in the crime to the capital to be tried by Dali Temple, and then to deal with the emperor.

But it is not possible for this Qicheng County to be taken over by no one, so I had to write an eight-hundred-mile urgent report to the emperor on the one hand, and stay in Qicheng to deal with official business.

Everyone in Qicheng knows that it is the big officials from the capital who are in charge of them now, the kind with Shang Fang's sword, don't you see that the original county lord and other officials and lords are all imprisoned?

Not to mention that in order to protect Zhu Hao, the garrison that stayed behind was stationed outside Qicheng and the county government, and there was no petty theft in Qicheng County.

It's just a road that doesn't go unturned, and the night doesn't close the door.

This can be regarded as Mei Changan's luck, if it weren't for Zhu Haoran's still being

In Qicheng Town, the relatives and friends of those local snakes in the private mining case are afraid that Mei Changan will be torn to pieces.

Now I can only endure it, and occasionally make a stumbling block for Mei Changan, so that Mei Changan's leg that was not good is not good, and I don't know why it hurts again.

Listening to the doctor who treated Mei Chang'an, his leg, even if Da Luo Immortal came, couldn't save it, so he could only be lame.

Even now that spring has begun, the wickers have begun to sprout, the river surface has thawed, and the spring breeze blowing on the face no longer has that biting feeling, but a slight warmth.

The pretty big girl and little daughter-in-law have taken off their heavy cotton jackets and changed into padded jackets and skirts, revealing their slender figures.

At this time in previous years, Mei Changan had already changed into a robe with padded cotton, and he was cleaned up in the wind, and it was a scenery when he walked on the street.

But this year, he only felt cold, when the wind blew, it was cold in the cracks of his bones, and he was wrapped in a thick cotton jacket all day long, and he would be more comfortable in the yard covered with a thick quilt as soon as the sun came out.

At night, the kang should also be burned hot, otherwise it will be too cold to sleep.

Mei Changan was not stupid, he soon felt that something was wrong, and when he asked the doctor, he learned that it was because of the negligence of the Qian family that he was now cold, and in the future, when it comes to winter, it will be even more uncomfortable than this year, and he will almost become a waste.

Got it

After the news, Mei Changan didn't say anything, and sent the doctor away as usual.

Within a few days, the shopkeeper was accidentally poked blind in one eye, and Qian also fell on his head outside in a mad way.

Although there is no evidence to prove that Mei Changan did it, the money shopkeeper knows that this is Mei Changan's revenge.

The shopkeeper wanted to leave with his mother-in-law and the Qian family, but he was blind, and their coffins were all pasted for his daughter, and now the money is in Mei Changan's hands, even if he wants to leave, he can't go.

What's more, there are no relatives and no house in my hometown, where can I still have the face to go back?

The money shopkeeper is very jealous of Mei Changan in his heart, but now he has to live under the same roof with him, and he is worried all day long, for fear that Mei Changan will not go well again, they are old and have lived enough, but what about the daughter?

She is still young and crazy, if she and her wife really go, wouldn't she be at the mercy of Mei Changan?

Just for the sake of their daughter, the shopkeeper Qian and the Qian family could only grit their teeth and endure it, wary of each other.

It is said that the day before the news came back, for some reason, Mei Changan's arm was burned by the Qian family, and now he can't even lift the pen......

After hearing this, Mei Xiaotong shook her head, afraid that Mei Changan's arm was deliberately done by the Qian family.

Now that the Qian family and Mei Changan are together, they are torturing each other, and they can't leave each other, so they can only live like this entangled with each other's hatred and defense.

It is also good to tie them together in this way, so as not to harm others.

Mrs. Li was even more relieved, that little beast has finally been retributed.

At the beginning, for the sake of Qian's father, he left behind the father and mother who gave birth to him for him to study, but he thought that he gave birth to a son for the Qian family, and raised him upside down, how not to be depressed.

Since Mei Changan only has Qian's father and mother in her heart, let's always be together!

Along the way, Steward Lu and An Huahao talked about some customs and customs, and some sounded like homely things, but they had a lot of meanings.

An Huahao's pupils shrank, and his face was silent

color, and continued to talk to Steward Lu.

I also talked and laughed in Jing County.

The dart masters simply dragged the luggage to the side of the house, and asked them to move to the house, and then settled the accounts, and gave the dart masters more red envelopes for their hard work, and thanked them again and again.

Steward Lu took the dart masters and left.

As soon as the others left, Mrs. Li, An Huahao and Mei Xiaotong tidied up the house.

Last time, I only came to stay for two days, there was only a thin layer of ash in the house, there was a small well in the yard, water was fetched, and Mrs. Li scrubbed the furniture, dried the bedding or something.

An Huahao and Mei Xiaotong adjusted the furniture.

The main house is naturally reserved for Mrs. Li to live in, and the two of them live in the east wing, this small courtyard, and the three of them live in it

Spacious.

From morning to noon, seeing that the sky was almost dark, Mei Xiaotong saw that the stove house had not been cleaned up, and the pots and pans had not been purchased, so after thinking about it, she decided to go out to see if there was anything to eat nearby, so she bought some to cushion her stomach first.

Wait until the afternoon to buy all the guys in the stove house, and then start the fire.

When I went out, I met a young woman in her twenties who had her hair combed neatly and wore a green cloth jacket skirt, and she happened to open the door when she saw Mei Xiaotong, but immediately put on a smile: "This girl, but on the other side?" ”

Mei Xiaotong also smiled: "No, our family just moved here, please take care of me when I disturb in the future." ”

The woman listened to Mei Xiaotong's words, and saw that she was wearing a silver hairpin on her head, a plain silk white flower on her sideburns, and her body was also pure, so she guessed that she was probably carrying filial piety.

I didn't want to ask more, I just smiled: "We will be neighbors in the future, as the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, we live door to door, and the days of dealing with each other in the future will be long, don't go outside." My surname is Gu, everyone calls me Gu Niangzi, my man's surname is Gu, and I have lived on this street for decades. ”

"Sister, are you renting this yard? Last year, I saw this yard renovated, separating the two yards, and rented out the front one within a few days, and the back one has not moved, and many people came to ask, and they all said that they would not rent it. It's a blessing that you've rented it. ”

You must know that our alley, don't look down-to-eye, but the location is good, after getting out of the alley, the opposite road is the most lively street in our Jing County, and everything you want to buy is cheap. Not to mention, after we pass through this alley, we will keep walking, which is the way to the academy. ”

"A lot of scholars want to rent a house to study in our alley, but it's difficult to find a suitable place like ours......"

The ancient lady is a cheerful person, with a mouth, just like pouring beans into a bamboo tube, and talking endlessly.

When Mei Xiaotong heard this, she became more and more satisfied, the original Boss Tian still had some vision, and the location of this courtyard was really good.

Not to mention, it's quiet.

Listening to what Gu Niangzi said again, I am afraid that on this street, there are many rented readers, and the learning atmosphere is good, which is just suitable for An Huahao to study.

After saying a few words to the ancient lady, pointing out that her yard was bought, not rented, the ancient lady's attitude became more and more enthusiastic.

Holding Mei Xiaotong's hand, he asked her if she was going to buy something, do you know the place? I was stunned to take her.

Mei Xiaotong had no choice but to say that she had just moved in, and there was still a cold pot and a cold stove at home, and there was nothing, so she planned to buy something to eat and go back, and buy cooking utensils in the afternoon.

Gu Niangzi slapped her two palms:

"Then you've got the right person, follow me. It just so happened that I also went out to buy baked cakes for a few Heavenly Demon Stars at home, come with me, there is a street next to it, mostly selling snacks, clean and delicious, and the price is cheap. ”

Lead the way ahead

, took Mei Xiaotong to the alley next to him separated by two intersections, and before he walked in, he smelled all kinds of aromas of frying, frying, boiling, and frying, which made Mei Xiaotong can't help but swallow saliva a few times.

followed Gu Niangzi into the alley, Mei Xiaotong's eyes were about to look at the flowers, there were fragrant buns, white and fat steamed buns, and all kinds of fruits that were fried golden and sweet.

Not to mention, there are various stalls on the roadside, such as the wonton stall, where small wontons are put into boiling water and quickly cooked transparently, revealing the pink and tender meat filling inside.

It was quickly scooped up and put into the sea bowl, the bottom of the bowl was covered with salty and fragrant dried shrimp, finely chopped green onions, and then poured a spoonful of chicken broth.

It's a pity that he is still keeping filial piety now, and he can only watch it with his eyes.

Mei Xiaotong sucked a mouthful of saliva without a pittle, forcing herself to look away, and then look elsewhere, there are people making spicy soup, some making barbecue, and all kinds of baked cakes, the air is full of the fragrance of this food, mixed together, arousing people's appetite.

Mei Xiaotong easily restrained her desires, bought a bun of vegetarian buns, four or five meat buns, some steamed buns, baked cakes, two bowls of sweet bean curd, and a big bowl of egg noodle soup.

Seeing that she had bought so much, Gu Niangzi enthusiastically helped carry it to the door.

Mei Xiaotong hurriedly grabbed a few buns and stuffed them to Gu Niangzi: "Thank you, Gu Niangzi, if Gu Niangzi hadn't mentioned it today, I wouldn't know where to buy these." Our family guards filial piety, these buns, take them back to the lady's family to taste, so I won't bother at the door. ”

Gu Niangzi shirked twice, and saw that Mei Xiaotong really wanted to give, so she accepted it generously.

Before, she saw Mei Xiaotong buy meat buns, and muttered in her heart, how can Shouxiao still eat meat, but now she understands that people bought it for their children to eat as a thank you gift.

I didn't expect that the little girl who looked young would be so sophisticated, knowing that her family was filial piety, so she avoided suspicion first.

Gu Niangzi's first impression of Mei Xiaotong was good.

If nothing else, their family has lived here for decades, and the neighbors around them know each other. In the past, the owner of this yard, surnamed Tian, was a merchant.
