Although Zhou was still a little unhappy in his heart, he also went to the back garden to water vegetables and top dressing.

Mei Xiaotong was left, commanding the little beans to completely clean up the Mei family.

Even the cobwebs in the corners were cleaned.

The yard was originally a little messy, but now it is also regulated neatly, and the weeds have been pulled clean.

The old ash on the window ridge was also wiped off, the stove room was a little brighter, the cabinets were brushed clean, the grease stains on the stove were removed, and the two iron pots were polished shiny.

The pigsty and chicken coop were also cleaned and the whole yard was renovated.

Mei Xiaotong finally checked it again, and then she was completely relieved, and at the same time, the prompt of the system in her mind sounded: "Congratulations to the host, the window is bright and clean, the cleaning task of the room has been completed, and 1 point will be rewarded." ”

When the points were in hand, Mei Xiaotong was relieved, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat, and the points are not too little.

Mood No. 1, and then looking at the neat but empty yard, I always feel that something is missing.

After a gesture, I instructed a few small beans to go to the mountains in the past few days, and see beautiful flowers and trees, such as azaleas, or gardenias, dig a few bushes back, and plant them in the yard, which also adds a bit of interest.

Xiaoque is a girl, when she heard about planting flowers, her eyes lit up, and she cautiously suggested: "Auntie, I know that Li Zhuye has gardenias in their house, and the flowers are fragrant and big, let's go to their house and plant them in two branches, right?" ”

Li Zhuye?

Mei Xiaotong looked confused, and she had no impression in her memory for a long time, no way, Mei Xiaotong used to see that except for herself An Huahao, no one else could not enter her eyes.

So it's normal to be unimpressed.

Xiaoque also knew that there was something wrong with her aunt, and hurriedly explained: "It's next door to the fourth aunt who hasn't entered the door yet?" The two of them are cousins, and the fourth aunt is still Zhuye's cousin. ”

Understand!

Mei Xiaotong hesitated: "Will their family give us a share?" Do you want to bring something, it's not good to go to the door empty-handed? ”

I don't know what about others, in Mei Xiaotong's previous education, you can't go to someone's house empty-handed, so you have to bring some souvenirs or something.

Xiaoque is still a child, where will he pay attention to the interaction between children in the countryside?

Not to mention, even if she knew, she wouldn't have anything to give to others?

Therefore, when Mei Xiaotong mentioned it, Xiaoque was dumbfounded.

"That'...... So what to do? ”

Mei Xiaotong pondered for a while, in the future, she would have to mix in Lingshan Village, not to mention the relationship between the surrounding neighbors and the village, at least everyone should not be so prejudiced against herself.

In the future, we will have to deal with each other, so it is better to start with this Li Zhuye family and take the first step in her interpersonal communication!

After thinking about it, he went back to the house, turned out two red-headed ropes in the box, handed one to Xiaoque, and put the other one in his purse: "Does she like red of that bamboo leaf?" ”

Xiaoque was overjoyed and held the head rope: "Auntie, this is for me?" ”

While carefully touching it, such a red head rope is only available to my aunt in the family, and her hair is tied with strips of cloth cut from old clothes.

What little girl doesn't love pretty? Although Xiaoque is sensible, she is not envious of other little girls who can tie a red head rope on her head and wear a head flower.

She could only look at such a head rope before, but now that her aunt gave her one, she was both happy and afraid.

Mei Xiaotong waved her hand casually: "Give it to you, your little girl's family is good looking." "There are several other colors in her box, and she has high vision, so these head ropes are naturally not in her eyes, not to mention, her skin is still a light buckwheat color, and it looks black and earthy when she wears red, okay?

Xiao Que happily spread out his hair, took off the gray cloth strip, tied the red head rope, on the fine yellow braid, the red head rope is very bright, not very good-looking, but Xiao Que still can't put it down, and from time to time he reaches out to touch the head rope twice to make sure that it exists.

Xiaoque touched her braid several times before she came back to her senses: "Auntie, let's go, I'll take you there, I have a good relationship with Zhuye, even if you don't give her a head rope, you can give us a few flowers." Besides, this head rope is precious, and the flower branches are not valuable, auntie, let's only divide a few flowers, and give a head rope for nothing, isn't it too much of a loss? ”

This girl, following Mrs. Li and Wen's ears, also learned very well.

Mei Xiaotong shook her head and said, "Since you have a good relationship with Zhuye, then we can't take advantage of others!" You can't think it's not a big deal because you have a good relationship with others, you don't care, after a long time, people will feel uncomfortable, and good friends will be estranged. If people spread the word that you are a stingy person who likes to take advantage, it will be an obstacle to your reputation. Most people don't like to associate with people with bad reputations, and if there is something going on in the future, whether it's right or wrong, people will think it's your fault. When the time comes, you won't be able to say that you will suffer a loss, and we can't do such a thing of being greedy for a small price and suffering a big loss, you know? ”

Xiaoque on weekdays, Mrs. Li only needs her to do the work, Wen has to be busy with family affairs, even the youngest Xiaoduo has to be carried by Xiaoque, where is the time to teach her daughter this.

However, she is smart by nature, and she has the gentle and tolerant influence of Wen's, except for being too picky and taking advantage of a little advantage, there is no other problem.

On the contrary, he is diligent in his hands and feet, and his mouth is well-behaved, which is not bad in the eyes of children and adults in the village.

At this moment, when she heard Mei Xiaotong teach her like this, she really listened to it, although there were still some things she didn't understand, she remembered it in her heart and planned to ask Wen secretly at night.

However, the child's mouth was fast, and he accidentally asked: "Auntie, why did you always like to take advantage of others before?" Reputation is bad in the village? ”

Mei Xiaotong......

I hate children the most, and I'm so straightforward or something, so poking people's hearts!

endured it, Mei Xiaotong couldn't hold back, and played Xiaoque's brain, with a straight face: "Lead the way, go to Zhuye's house--"

Xiaoque stuck out her tongue, knowing that this had annoyed her aunt, she didn't dare to say more, so she ran to the front to lead the way.

Li Zhuye's house is not too far from Mei's house, at this moment, some of the people in the village have gone to the field, and after the work in the field is done, it is rare to rest at home, except for a few ignorant children running around in the village, there is no one to move.

Mei Xiaotong didn't meet anyone all the way, and when she arrived at Li Zhuye's house, the door was open, and she walked straight in.

"Bamboo leaves? Are you at home with bamboo leaves? ”

A little girl about the same age as Xiao Que walked out of the back room, not as tall as Xiao Que, dressed in a white-washed blue floral dress, with generous eyebrows and eyes, and her skin was black and yellow peculiar to a country child.

Seeing Xiaoque, he rushed up and hugged him in two steps: "Xiaoque, why are you here?" Looking for me? ”

Xiaoque turned around and saw that Mei Xiaotong was still standing at the door and didn't come in, so she hurriedly beckoned: "Auntie, why don't you come in, what are you doing standing at the door?" ”

While introducing to my good friend Zhu Ye: "Zhu Ye, this is my aunt." ”

Zhu Ye naturally knows Mei Xiaotong, the female overlord of the Mei family, Xiaoque has occasionally complained in her ear before, the old aunt is lonely, and Mrs. Li is spoiled, whatever is delicious and fun in the Mei family, you have to follow Mei Xiaotong first, Mei Xiaotong is not like an old girl, good things have always been enjoyed by herself, and she has never loved her nephews and nieces, they are all called around.

Xiaoque's brothers and sisters didn't want to see this old lady very much, but they didn't dare to offend, it was not good at all, the old aunt sued in front of her grandmother, they not only had to be scolded, but also didn't give food.

So the relationship between my aunt and nephew has always been very cold, and I didn't come to Mei Xiaotong as a last resort.

Why did you take the initiative to take my aunt to your house today? Could it be that Mei Xiaotong took a fancy to her own house and forced Xiaoque to come to her house to ask for it?

Zhu Ye's first reaction was like this, looking at Mei Xiaotong vigilantly, for fear that she would have to ask for something to do? My father, mother and brother have gone to work in the fields, and I am left to take care of the house, what if I can't beat it?

The little girl's mind was spinning fast.

"Zhuye, hello, I'm Xiaoque's aunt. I heard Xiaoque say, you are very skillful, and you are especially good at raising flowers, and your home-raised gardenias are the largest and most fragrant in the whole village--" Mei Xiaotong looked at the little girl with a vigilant look at herself, and she didn't understand that the little girl was guarding herself.

I had to talk about it first, so that the little girl could relax a little.

Zhu Ye really heard Mei Xiaotong praise himself like this, and said that it was Xiaoque who went back to say it, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl.

"Of course, I learned this craft from my grandfather's family, and I can't find this kind of flower craft in Manling Mountain Village. Since my aunt came to our house for the first time, I will pick a few flowers for my aunt and bring them back, only putting water to raise them, fragrant and fragrant house. The little girl puffed up her chest proudly, especially generous.

"Thank you then! I came today, just for the gardenias, our family recently had to do a happy event, clean up the yard, found that the space is not good-looking, plan to plant some flowers and plants, but also to add some joy. I heard Xiaoque praise your gardenia for being very good, and I came to the door to ask for a few branches to go back, this is a thank you gift! Afraid that the little girl of Zhuye would misunderstand that she was asking for nothing, Mei Xiaotong hurriedly took out the prepared red head rope from her purse and stuffed it into Zhuye's hand.

Bamboo leaves' eyes lit up, little girl, who doesn't love red.

This red head rope is brightly colored, and it is not a bargain at first glance.

couldn't help but be moved, but I felt a little embarrassed, holding the head rope in my hand, and pushing in my mouth: "Aunt Mei is too polite, but a few branches, where can I afford such a fee, my aunt should take it back." ”

Mei Xiaotong naturally wouldn't take it back, so she gave Xiaoque a look.

Xiaoque immediately hugged the bamboo leaves: "What are you polite to my aunt?" My aunt is generous, look, she gave me one, it looks good to tie it, you can tie it up quickly--"

I can't help but say that I took off the hair tied on the bamboo leaf head and tied the red head rope for her.

Zhu Ye really liked this rope in her heart, so she pushed the boat and let Xiaoque tie her hair, and most of her prejudice against Mei Xiaotong in her heart was gone.

Since the Mei family's aunt is so generous, she can't be stingy.

happily touched the red head rope: "Then thank you Aunt Mei." My aunt said that I would plant flowers and plants in the yard, so I was right to find me, and I was satisfied with the safekeeping. I branched a cluster of gardenias from my old tree the year before last, and this year it has taken shape, and the tree is full of buds, and it will be the time to bloom in a few days, just in time for my aunt's house to move. We still have some henna, nightshade, little jasmine, do you want aunt? ”

Mei Xiaotong was overjoyed, this is an extra joy, I didn't expect that the Li family in Lingshan Village still has these flowers, although they are all ordinary, but ordinary people will not plant these wastes.

Busy nodding.

Zhuye is also a generous girl, seeing that Mei Xiaotong really likes flowers, and uses a red head rope to exchange, she quickly enters the house, moves out of the small bench, and brings out a glass of water: "Then my aunt will rest here, I will go to the backyard with Xiaoque to dig out the nightshade, jasmine and henna for my aunt, and bring it back to plant it later." That gardenia, now it is also a person tall, and the roots are deep, we can't dig it, wait for my father and brother to come back, let them dig it out, and send it to your family tomorrow, is it feasible? ”
