This is the truth, if this big house can't get up a few years ago, the Mei family really becomes a joke.

Tianlong also looked at the adult's eyes carefully, and then said: "There is also the fourth uncle's family affairs, but the date is set, and he also said that he will move to a new house and get married." When the house is not built, what will happen to the wedding? ”

Speaking of Mei Changgui's marriage, even Mrs. Li hesitated.

Only Mei Changqing didn't do it, he was the only one who slandered people, but I didn't expect to be slandered today?

"Why? I have seen a lot of people like the Sun family, I gave them today, and I will come back tomorrow, if I don't beat them like them, they will entangle our family and shake our family as a cash cow. I'll go to Sun's house tonight, break their legs first, and see how he comes—" He said, his tone revealing a bit of cruelty. Nonsense! After all, the Sun family is your eldest sister's in-law's family, and you broke the Sun family's leg, what should you do with your eldest sister? Besides, their family is already poor, and when the time comes, they say that they have no money to treat their legs, and they ask our family for money, can you not give it? Mei Zhongzhong slapped the table, hating iron but not steel.

Mei Changqing didn't expect this stubble.

There was a stalemate for a while.

The women didn't dare to speak, and the children didn't dare to speak, and in the end they only looked at Mei Xiaotong.

After all, she is now the master of the family.

Mei Xiaotong is naturally uncomfortable in her heart, but how can anyone go well, if you encounter setbacks, just walk over.

It's just a little more time! The Sun family is just disgusting people, and now a little money can be used to get rid of it, but I am afraid that I will raise my mind, and I can't get rid of it when the time comes, which is the trouble.

However, things should be prioritized, and building a house is now the first priority, and the rest can be postponed.

After pondering for a while, Mei Xiaotong spoke: "Now that there are many things in the family, building a house is the first, let's endure these little things first, wait for the house to be built, and then free up our hands to clean them up, let's do it according to my father's wishes first." But I only have one condition! Mei Xiaotong said.

When Mei Zhongzhong heard that Mei Xiaotong was so good at talking today, she was able to listen to his opinion, she was overjoyed, and nodded hurriedly: "What conditions?" As long as Dad can do it, he will promise you. ”

Mei Xiaotong smiled slightly: "In the final analysis, this matter is caused by my father, so naturally my father wants to clean up the mess." Nowadays, the family spends a lot of money every day, and the house has not yet been built, and I don't know how much it will cost, so this additional expense can still be avoided. Therefore, the money given to the Sun family is still the father's private money. I think everyone has no opinion! ”

Whoever has an opinion is a fool!

Who present is not angry in their hearts, a good happy event, making such a fuss, and they have to watch the people of the Sun family disgust themselves in front of them every day, and they have to endure it.

Therefore, when they heard Mei Xiaotong's conditions, they all agreed.

Mei Zhongzhong's face turned dark, but she had already said it, and she couldn't regret it in front of her family.

Especially a room full of little bunnies, dwelling

But no one spoke for themselves.

Look at the boss, the boss looks up at the sky; Look at the third, the third looks down at the ground; Looking at the son-in-law, the son-in-law was expressionless......

Mei Zhongzhong was so angry that he patted the edge of the kang: "A group of unfilial sons, get out of the labor and capital!" "They are all white-eyed wolves, don't they just save some private houses, and they can't look at them all?

Everyone got out very obediently, one by one, you look at me, I look at you, and went back to the house to rest.

The pain in Mei Zhongzhong's heart, it was really hard work for more than half a year, and once she returned to xx.

Mrs. Li was the most happy in her heart, and she didn't look at Mei Zhongzhong's black face, and fell asleep on the kang by herself.

Outside the door, Mei Xiaotong's eyes were slightly cold, Mrs. Li has always had a knot in Mei Zhongzhong's private money, and she used to know that all the money she earned was handed over to her for safekeeping, but now that she is old, she can prevent her, how can she not chill?

Mei Xiaotong didn't know what Mei Zhongzhong's purpose was in saving her private money, and she was not interested in knowing.

However, she took advantage of this opportunity today to justifiably let Mei Zhongzhong's private money be handed over if she didn't pay it.

And this money is in the hands of his most beloved eldest daughter, and in the hands of the Sun family, I just don't know what Mei Zhongzhong feels like in his heart.

I'm afraid that after thinking about it, I will end up complaining

Mei Yongzhen!

An Huahao didn't know what Mei Xiaotong had in mind, but he also felt that the future father-in-law was really unreliable, why should he save his private money, shouldn't he give it to his mother-in-law?

Besides, this future father-in-law is so indulgent to his eldest daughter, but Xiaotong, who has contributed the most to the Mei family, always picks his nose and eyes, which is too partial!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but take a closer look at Xiaotong's face and slowed down his voice: "Xiaotong, don't be sad, it's enough for my aunt to hurt you." ”

This is for fear that Mei Xiaotong will be sad.

Mei Xiaotong will not be sad because of Mei's loyalty, but she is very concerned by An Huahao.

Pursed his lips, nodded, and pulled him to the eaves: "Are you tired today?" ”

An Huahao shook his head, held Mei Xiaotong's hand, looked at the glowing lips under the hazy moonlight, couldn't help but have a dry mouth, barely looked away, and found a topic: "Then how do you plan to solve the Sun family?" ”

Xiaotong is not a character who allows others to blackmail, and the Sun family is afraid that they will commit Xiaotong's taboo by doing this.

Mei Xiaotong smiled: "Let's let the Sun family be proud for a few days." "The more proud you are now, the more uncomfortable you will be in the future!

※※※

Sure enough, the Mei family didn't guess wrong, and the next day, the Sun family came all the same.

In addition to Sun Shishi's daughter-in-law, she went back and forth to Sun Wang's two families yesterday, dozens of miles of mountain roads, and got up early in the morning to say that her stomach was not very comfortable, after all, it was the granddaughter-in-law of the Sun family, and there was a child in her belly, so the Sun family's mother-in-law was in charge and let her rest at home.

When the mother-in-law of the Sun family arrived at Mei's house, she barely pretended to be yesterday, and she is even the same today

I didn't pretend to be any more, so I touched a stool and sat in the yard.

While basking in the sun, he also pointed his fingers.

"The meat is thicker, and the bite is strong."

"Why don't you buy a bigger fish, it's too small and has more spines."

……

Early in the morning, Mrs. Li greeted the mothers-in-law who came to help in advance, saying that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Sun family are estimated to come today, and what they say in the future will be treated as if they are farting! Ignore them, don't talk to them, just don't have them.

The mother-in-law who came to help naturally agreed, not only because of the Mei family's money, but also because the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Sun family were too unpopular.

Therefore, no matter what the Sun family's mother-in-law said, no one talked to her anyway, so everyone just didn't hear it.

It was Mei Yongzhen, who entered the yard, didn't say anything, and worked with his head bored.

When I saw that no one was washing the vegetables, I went to wash the vegetables, and after washing the vegetables, I saw that there was not enough firewood, so I went to carry the firewood.

As long as you can see the work, you can take a hand.

The mothers-in-law who helped didn't like to take care of her at first, and they all looked down on her posture of bringing her in-laws to harm her mother's family.

However, seeing that she is better than the mother-in-law of the Sun family, she knows how to work, and after all, she is the daughter of the Mei family, so her attitude is more relaxed.

Mei Xiaotong went to the town early in the morning, the temperature has dropped a little in the past few days, making mud bricks, the first layer of mud bricks has been shoveled, and now it is living mud, everyone is soaked in the mud all day long, legs and feet are exposed, and the autumn wind blows, and the body is cold.

Yesterday, Mei Xiaotong asked me to bring a jar of wine, and everyone can take a sip for a while, and they can also live their blood.

Unexpectedly, I heard Mei Changgui say in the evening that the three men of the Sun family followed yesterday, and half of the jar of wine was killed by them. Before Mei Xiaotong went out, she told her family to close the doors and windows, and lock the doors, so that the Sun family would not touch them.

Especially in the stove house, meat, fish, eggs and so on are all taken care of, so I hurried to the town to drink.

When I arrived in the town, I naturally had to go to Zheng's shopkeeper's restaurant to see, in the past two days, the dishes made at home were radish stewed meat and mixed fish stewed tofu, and it was made in one day or two, and I was a little tired of eating this every day.

Mei Xiaotong took out the recipe she had redeemed before and looked at it, and pondered a few dishes, some of the ingredients, I'm afraid only Zheng's shopkeeper's restaurant has them, and she didn't bother to look elsewhere, so she simply came directly to the restaurant.

According to her current friendship with the shopkeeper Zheng, just buy it directly from the restaurant.

It just so happened that the shopkeeper Zheng was also in the restaurant today, and when he saw Mei Xiaotong, he immediately smiled: "But it's a rare guest!" I met Brother Song a few days ago, saying that you are going to build a new house, why do you have time to come to the town today, but there is something? ”

As he spoke, he asked Xiao Er to serve hot tea and snacks.

Mei Xiaotong also sat down politely, first drank hot tea, and ate two steaming dim sums that had just come out of the pot, and the whole person warmed up before he spoke: "I came here today to ask Shopkeeper Zheng for help."

。 ”

Shopkeeper Zheng was stunned for a moment and lowered his voice: "But don't you have any money to get your hands on the new house?" It's okay, I'll give you some dividends first-"

Mei Xiaotong hurriedly waved his hand: "It's not this, our family's mountain goods business this year is okay, although we don't make much, but it's enough to build a new house." The main thing is to ask someone to help at home, and I am responsible for three meals a day. In the countryside, the weather is cold now, and there is nothing to eat, so I can't let people eat steamed buns every day, so I want to buy some vermicelli, potatoes and other ......."

Shopkeeper Zheng understood when he heard it, and immediately smiled: "It's just such a trivial matter, where can I use asking for words?" ”

As he spoke, he motioned for Xiao Er to go to the back kitchen and called the chef in charge to the front.

After a while, the chef in charge came over, and they were all acquaintances, and said hello.

As soon as the shopkeeper Zheng said the meaning, the chef understood: "How much does Miss Wang want?" I'll just put it on in a moment. ”

After thinking about it, he enthusiastically recommended a few easy-to-cook and easy-to-eat big pot dishes to Mei Xiaotong, and explained all the methods by the way.

Mei Xiaotong hurriedly thanked him and didn't mention it.

With this chef's reminder, she has more and more confidence in her heart.

bought a large bundle of about 30 catties of vermicelli, plus 100 catties of potatoes, Mei Xiaotong wanted to count the money.

Shopkeeper Zheng is also accustomed to Mei Xiaotong's one-yard style, and he said a number very happily, Mei Xiaotong gave the money, thought about it, and simply cheekily said that he would simply buy the wine together.

Shopkeeper Zheng couldn't cry or laugh, and pointed at Mei Xiaotong: "You are really, let me say how are you?" To know that who in this town doesn't know that our wine is the best? The wine you go to the grocery store outside is mixed with water, and most people can drink it. What are you going to do when you go back from drinking? ”

Mei Xiaotong didn't hide it, so she said that it was for the people who helped to make mud bricks to drink to warm their bodies.

Shopkeeper Zheng didn't expect Mei Xiaotong to buy wine for this, after thinking about it, with the relationship between the two, he won't say anything: "My family's wine is divided into three kinds, one is the best pure wine, one is mixed with water, and the other is mixed with some wine in water, this kind of wine is specially sold to those who are addicted to alcohol and have little money on hand. ”

"If you're buying back

Go to your own house to drink, I will naturally sell you the best, if you give it to others, the second kind is almost the same, drink it to warm your body, and you will not get drunk, so as not to drink too much, and delay your family's affairs. ”

Mei Xiaotong didn't expect there to be these doorways, and looked at Shopkeeper Zheng with some surprise.

Shopkeeper Zheng was angry and funny: "What are you still watching me do?" I even confessed to the old bottom. ”

Mei Xiaotong also smiled, poured thanks, hit a jar of ten catties of good unmixed wine, and fifty catties of medium mixed wine with water, paid, and said goodbye with a smile.

The shopkeeper Zheng didn't keep her, and asked Xiao Er to find a few steamed buns and half a steaming roast chicken from the back kitchen

Wrapped in oiled paper and stuffed it to Mei Xiaotong: "If it gets dark late today, I won't keep you, and you will go back early after you finish shopping." When the new house is ready, let someone bring a message, and I will go and warm the new house for you. ”

Mei Xiaotong did not shirk, took the food, and waved goodbye.

After passing by a butcher shop, I saw that there was still half a fan of pork on the board, some tube bones and two-leaf pork liver, thought about it, simply got out of the car, cut a small half fan of pork, and rounded the bones and pork liver.

The butcher shop owner rarely saw such a generous guest, and finally settled the account and wiped the odds, and finally threw half a pig's head into the basket.

By the time I arrived at Mei's house, it was already getting dark.

The Sun family ate lunch and ran away.

Today, because everyone is vigilant and watching, the loss is smaller than yesterday, only a few eggs and two small fish are lost.

When I got home, several mothers-in-law were discussing the matter: "Forget the eggs, you can take them home in your pocket, and you won't bury your clothes." But that fish, fishy and bloody, how can you bring it back? In your pocket, do you want the clothes? ”

Everyone was puzzled.

Mrs. Li saw that her daughter was back, "Have you eaten?" Do you want to go and steam an egg for you now? ”

Mei Xiaotong shook her head: "I've had lunch, and the shopkeeper Zheng wrapped me steamed buns and roast chicken, mother, I left you a chicken leg." As he spoke, he took out an oiled paper bag, which contained a shiny chicken thigh.

The girl eats something delicious and doesn't forget herself. Mrs. Li couldn't be happier in her heart, so she took the chicken leg: "Mother doesn't eat it, keep it for you when it's hot at night!" ”

At the same time, he beckoned someone to move the things off the carriage.

Several mothers-in-law came around and were dumbfounded when they saw a cart full of things.

When Mrs. Li saw it, she also took a breath: "Girl, how much do you have to spend to buy such old things?" ”

Mei Xiaotong put aside the ten catties of fine wine that had been marked, and then pulled Mrs. Li: "I'm tired of eating meat and stewed radish every day, I went to the restaurant today to ask the master chef in charge of the spoon, and taught me several dishes, let's change the taste tomorrow." ”

When Mrs. Li heard that her daughter was tired of eating, she immediately felt very distressed: "It's all because my mother has been busy these days, and I haven't noticed that you can't get used to eating these." In the evening, my mother will fry two dishes for you alone. ”

The mother-in-law next to her couldn't help but smack her lips when she heard it, this mother is too spoiled by her daughter.

After all the things were moved, Mei Xiaotong asked the leopard to lead the mule to eat forage.

The potatoes were put in the stove house, the vermicelli and thirty catties of wine were put in the upper room, and half of the pork, pig bones, and pig heads were also moved to the stove house.

The mothers-in-law who helped were busy, and it was late this day, and they couldn't see the hair on the pig's head clearly, so they had to get it tomorrow. But the small half of the pork should be marinated, and the pork bones should be put into the pot to boil and skim off the foam, and a separate pot was found, and it was simmered on low heat, and some radishes or something were thrown into it tomorrow morning, and it was very fresh.

Mrs. Li said

When I did it, I saw that there were still two leaves of pork liver, and my eyes lit up, "Girl, my mother will fry pork liver for you to eat at night, fry it tenderly, put a little spicy seed, it is the most appetizing, and then stew an egg for you." When you're done, you go to rest, and when you're tired of the day, your mother will bring you dinner to the house to eat. ”

As he spoke, he picked up the pork liver and went into the stove house to get busy.

Mei Xiaotong was not idle, she brought the good wine into her room and put it, and then began to keep accounts.

Xiaoque took a look at the air and slipped into Mei Xiaotong's house, the little girl has eaten well at home in the past few months, her body is running fast, and her hair is shiny, not like before, withered and yellow like straw, and has a bit of a girl's slender posture.

When I entered the house, I didn't dare to disturb Mei Xiaotong's bookkeeping, and when she got it done, she said: "Auntie, that old woman of the Sun family hates it to death, she saw the earrings I was wearing today, when I was a three-year-old child, she pulled me aside, coaxed me and said I wanted to see it, so I stood and let her see it, but she said that she couldn't see it clearly, so she had to tear it down and look at it." ”

"If you insist on pulling my ears, it's good that I can run fast, otherwise my ears might have been torn off. I knew she wasn't there to see it, she just wanted to snatch my studs! Saying that a little girl of my age can't bring silver, it will suppress the blessing, these things should be brought by an older person. ”

"Then why did you get back to her?" Mei Xiaotong asked.

"I'll go back to the old woman and say that our Mei family is blessed, and we are not afraid to bring silver! Only those who are not blessed can't hold it down! I can't hold it down even when I'm old! "Xiaoque is now bolder, and his mouth is not forgiving.

At that time, I said a word, and I almost didn't get angry with the old wife of the Sun family.

Although the little girl was very happy to go back at that time, she was still a little scared in her heart, and she didn't dare to tell her father, so she came to tell her aunt first.

Speaking of this, I was still puffing up, and my eyes were red.

These silver earrings were given by milk, and they were also their first piece of jewelry, and they almost didn't keep it.

Mei Xiaotong's eyes sank, this Sun family is too arrogant, even if you steal some food, you still can't grab it? Seeing Xiaoque's aggrieved appearance, touching her head, I saw that the little girl's earlobes were still red
