Mei Yindi glanced at Sister Qiu in amazement, Sister Qiu's Nizi was actually wearing a green cloth dress, which looked new, clean and neat, much better than the jacket she had worn for several years and had a few patches! It's really a person who relies on clothes, Sister Qiu, who originally looked stupid, looks white and clean in this clean clothes, and looks as good as a girl who came out of the New Year's painting. Mei Yindi was a little unhappy in her heart, and she was about to splash the copper water basin in her hand into the newly turned vegetable field next to the house, she didn't want to go all the way to the pigsty to splash dirty water.

"Big sister." Sister Qiu stood still, stopped her again, and looked at the copper basin in her hand, which was either the second aunt's face wash or the second aunt's foot washing water.

Talking about the vegetable seedlings so small, they have just sprouted, and this pot of water splashed down, and the vegetable seedlings were watered to death. The vegetable seedlings planted do not survive, and with Mao's temperament, he can't scold Sister-in-law Mei who grows vegetables.

Mei Yindi was impatient, "What do you want to do?" ”

Sister Qiu said with a smile: "If you splash water and water the vegetables to death, turn your face back and ask, I can say that you splashed water." ”

"You dare?!" Mei Yindi was angry, it turned out that Sister Mei Qiu, who was stupid and not afraid of things, was timid when she entered the city, and dared to sue her? "If you dare to say more, I'll tear your mouth apart!" Mei Yindi threatened, and her long face was full of bitterness and harshness.

In the Mei family, Mei Yindi thinks that she is a meritorious man, the reason is that people are like her name, she recruited two younger brothers to the Mei family, and now she is going to recruit the first little brother, the status is transcendent, in Mei Yindi's small abacus, she only returned to the Mao family and her mother, and it was a duel above Sister Mei Qiu and Sister Mei, and now Sister Mei Qiu dared to rebel, how could she not be angry.

Sister Qiu glanced at her lightly, standing from her perspective of a young man in the 21st century, Mei Yindi was so harsh and harsh when she was young, it was really a deep inheritance of the Mao family and the second aunt, and she was obviously also a target of bullying for the Mao family, but she still had to bully Sister Qiu, who was even more pitiful than her, and she didn't know what to say.

The voice of the second aunt came from the west room, "Yindi, the water hasn't been poured yet?" ”

Mei Yindi immediately said: "Mother, Sister Qiu is back. ”

The west side room was quiet for a while, and the second aunt smiled: "Eh, Sister Qiu is back, but she has made a lot of money in the city?" ”

Mei Yindi laughed like a dog, looked at Sister Qiu meaningfully, and sneered, "Stupid to make a lot of money like her?" ”

Sister Qiu's face sank, Mei Yindi is a child who doesn't understand things, it's just that Aunt Mei is an adult, what's the matter with a ten-year-old child here, "Second Aunt is telling a joke, what kind of money can I make as a child?" can't compare to the second aunt. ”

"What do you mean? You say my mother doesn't make money? Mei Yindi immediately said fiercely, "My mother gave birth to a son to the Mei family, is your mother okay?" ”

Sister Qiu sighed in her mind, and looked at Mei Yindi's arrogant face, this is the imprint of the idea of male superiority and inferiority in the countryside for a long time on women, even a 13-year-old Xiao Nizi consciously felt that the status of a woman who gave birth to a son was transcendent, and a woman who could not give birth to a son had no face.

Thinking of this, Sister Qiu said loudly: "The eldest sister is right, no matter how much money she makes, she can't compare to the second aunt being able to give birth to a son. Eldest sister, you are a good student to learn from the second aunt, even the good of the old sow's cubs can also be eaten! ”

Mei Yindi's face was flushed, and she put down the copper basin and was about to come out to chase Sister Qiu, Sister Qiu quickly pulled out the wooden stick used as a fence on the side of the vegetable field, and pointed at Mei Yindi, "If you dare to hit someone, I will dare to knock you!" Don't be afraid to scratch your face and come over! "Let's joke, if she, an older young woman, beats a 13-year-old girl, she can hang herself after all these years.

The long and sharp wooden stick is still very deterrent, Mei Yindi didn't dare to come over, and scolded a few words in her mouth, completely under the Mao family, Sister Qiu couldn't listen to it, inserted the stick back in place, turned her head and entered the door of her own house, and slammed the door shut, blocking Mei Yindi's messy scolding by the door.

Mei Yindi stomped her feet angrily, she beat and bullied Sister Mei Qiu, and she didn't see the yellow-haired girl dare to talk back to her like today, and when she saw the copper basin at her feet, she wanted to pour it all in the vegetable field to relieve her anger, but she thought about Sister Qiu's girl's words, if she poured it to death, she would definitely scold her to death, so she reluctantly picked up the copper basin, walked to the pigsty, and poured the dirty water into the dung heap.

Sister Qiu entered the house and sat on the kang, lying in the middle of the house, with a mottled wall in front of her face, a roof beam covered with cobwebs, and a bamboo basket hanging on the roof beam.

There was a wisp of earthy smell peculiar to an old house in the house, mixed with the smoke from the small kitchen, and the stench of the pigsty, which constituted the other smells of Sister Qiu's memories of Ritter.

In fact, Sister Mei Qiu's background is not bad, she is better than most of the girls in the village, thanks to the fact that she has a father who was admitted to Xiucai. That's right, Sister Qiu's father is a showman. According to the regulations at this time, Xiucai can be exempted from forced labor, exempt from taxes, can receive high-quality food, and those with excellent grades can also receive a little silver every month.

Logically, her family's life shouldn't be like this.

Sister Qiu, her father Mei Liang is not a similar person, people have been studying for many years, the most deeply understood reason is to be "filial piety", what parents say is what, he resolutely and unconditionally implement, the Mei family's old son is soft and soft, no matter what things are, Mao has the final say, Mei Liang listened to Mao's, if it weren't for the fact that the Mei family had no money to marry Mei Liang's daughter-in-law, Mei Liang would have listened to Mao's words and divorced Mei's sister-in-law and married another.

Originally, Mei Liang was sitting in the town, and he could get back a little money every month, he lived frugally, and all the money was handed over to Mao, but Mei Liang had a bad problem, he failed to pass the examination for many years, and there was no money at home for him to read again. In this way, he had a few drunken madness in the academy in the town, and the academy dismissed him.

Without a job, Mei Liang can only go back home, his reputation is far and wide, there is no college willing to hire him as a gentleman, fortunately, he is not a person who does not eat fireworks in the world, and he is also a good hand at doing farm work at home, but there is no money for his job, and the Mei family has to support Mei Laosan to study in the town, and the life is extremely tense.
