Remember......

An Huahao's ears were hot all of a sudden, he remembered that he pulled Xiaotong into his arms, and remembered the sweet taste, which made people intoxicated and reluctant to wake up.

And then what happened? He vaguely only remembered that Xiaotong was in his arms, the two of them were intertwined, their ears and temples were grinding, half-asleep and half-awake, and even saw Xiaotong actually take the initiative to kiss his lips, so enthusiastic that he seemed to melt himself.

Between the lips and teeth, there seems to be still the soft tip of Xiaotong's tongue in the dream, and the trembling feeling when it is gently swept by, which makes people recall it at this moment, and their ears are red and heartbeat, like falling into a dream.

An Huahao sat up, touched his lips, and smiled in a trance.

In the eyes of Mrs. Li, who had just entered the house with the tonic medicine, it became, An Huahao, this child, was afraid that he was really bullied by his daughter yesterday, and it has been a long time, and he has no strength to go down the kang.

Hurriedly stepped forward and walked to the side of the kang: "You kid, why do you get up early?" Are you still feeling unwell? Lie down and rest! ”

As he spoke, he pressed An Huahao back again.

An Huahao came back to his senses, covered his mouth and coughed, rarely a little embarrassed: "Mother, I'm fine, it's the first day of the Lunar New Year, I want to give you a New Year's greeting!" ”

Mrs. Li waved her hand: "Why does the family pay attention to this?" Let's talk about drinking the medicine first! You're a little bone, you have to make up for it, or else—"

When the words came to his mouth, he swallowed again, and only handed the medicine in his hand to An Huahao.

An Huahao looked at the black bowl of decoction, exuding an indescribable taste, a little fishy, and with the smell of herbs.

"What is this?" Anhua Hao looked at the decoction suspiciously, could this be an anti-hangover?

"It's good for your body, drink it!" Mrs. Li looked at An Huahao with a smile.

An Huahao did not hesitate, and drank the medicine in one go, only feeling unspeakably uncomfortable in his mouth.

I've never had such a bad decanting soup.

Seeing that An Huahao drank not a drop of the medicine left, Mrs. Li took the bowl: "You lie down again, I'll ask Xiaotong to bring you breakfast." ”

With that, he went out.

An Huahao always felt that Mrs. Li looked strange today, but she couldn't lie down anymore and hurriedly turned over.

As soon as I got off the kang, I saw Mei Xiaotong walking in with breakfast with an indescribable expression.

"Let's eat!"

An Huahao entered the bathroom next to Mei Xiaotong, unceremoniously used Mei Xiaotong's washkerchief to soak in cold water, wiped his face, and the whole person was refreshed.

After rinsing his mouth with willow branches dipped in green salt, he sat down at the table refreshed.

While eating, he asked carefully, "Yesterday, when did I fall asleep?" ”

Mei Xiaotong was holding a cup and drinking water, and when she heard this question, she suddenly choked on a mouthful of water and coughed earth-shatteringly.

An Huahao couldn't care about eating, so he was busy with Mei

Xiaotong patted her back smoothly.

Finally Mei Xiaotong stopped coughing, and looked at An Huahao with strange eyes: "You don't remember?" ”

An Huahao was stunned, "What do you remember?" ”

Mei Xiaotong's eyes rolled, and she asked slyly, "Then do you know what medicine my mother gave you to drink?" ”

An Huahao was stunned: "Isn't it a sobering soup?" ”

Mei Xiaotong pumped into An Huahao's ear and whispered: "No, that's a tonic!" My mother said that I bullied you yesterday, and I think your body is too weak, and I want to make up for you, otherwise ......"

He shook his head sympathetically.

An Huahao's face immediately darkened, gritted his teeth and looked at Mei Xiaotong's gloating appearance, scooped her into his arms, and said hatefully: "My body is weak? ”

Mei Xiaotong blinked: "That's not good, after all, the person I slept with is not qualified to speak!" ”

An Huahao's mind exploded, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or annoyed, and looked at Mei Xiaotong in a daze: "Yesterday, you ...... Not a dream? ”

Mei Xiaotong patted An Huahao's shoulder, with a sad face: "My mother is worried about you, so she added a tiger whip to that decoction, and begged for more blessings!" ”

As he spoke, he broke away from An Huahao's hand and ran out with a smile.

Leaving An Huahao for a while to understand, he sat there in a daze, and it took a long time for the corners of his mouth to curl up, and his eyes looked at Mei Xiaotong's back with soft and obsessive eyes.

It wasn't until the food was cold that he woke up like a dream and drank the already cold porridge violently.

On the contrary, it evoked an indescribable dryness, and I only felt that the clothes on my body were all restraints, and I wanted to take off them to be comfortable.

An Huahao knew that this was only because the tonic had taken effect.

With a wry smile, he hurried back to his yard in three or two steps, on this cold day, I was afraid that I would have to take a cold shower.

An Huahao didn't come to Mei's house until dinner, his hair was still wet, and he was steaming white from the heat on his body.

I couldn't see anything on my face, the tips of my ears were still a little red, and my eyes were no longer as cold as before, with a little indescribable feeling.

first compensated Mrs. Li, and then kowtowed to Mrs. Li for the New Year, and said a few auspicious words.

Mrs. Li gave the big red envelope that had been prepared a long time ago to An Huahao, and felt a little embarrassed for a while, this tonic was made up earlier, cough cough, it hurt Hua Hao's child, take a cold shower in winter, give a big red envelope to make up for it......

Relatives and friends in the village, Mei Xiaoque has already taken the children to pay a New Year's greeting, the children have gone around and come back with melon seeds and peanuts in their pockets.

The melon seeds and peanuts prepared by the Mei family were fried into oil cakes or something, and half of them were gone.

A few children are checking how much New Year's money they have gotten for a New Year's greeting, which is the favorite thing for the little ones to do.

This year, the Mei family had a good life, and they gave it to Li Po early in the morning

The elders prepared red envelopes.

More or less, there are several copper plates in it, which is already very bad for children.

Especially Mei Xiaotong's generosity, each of the six children in the family was given a small silver bean, which was round and very cute.

The children were so happy that they clutched the silver beans one by one and didn't let go.

The leopards counted back and forth, and An Huahao was left with no New Year's money, so he brought his younger brothers and sisters forward, and when An Huahao finished paying New Year's greetings to Mrs. Li, they were also busy paying New Year's greetings to An Huahao.

An Huahao was also prepared, and one person stuffed a red envelope, and the children left satisfied.

Everyone gossiped for a while and then had dinner.

The next day, it was the day to take his daughter-in-law back to her parents' house, and now the Mei family and the Lin family have severed the relationship, and there is no difference between the Jiang family and the Jiang family.

Only Liu Xiaoqiao and Mei Changgui are newly married, and Mrs. Li remembered the Liu family's apology to Mei Xiaotong last time, and prepared enough gifts for returning to the door.

Zhou wanted to blush, but now she doesn't even have her mother's house, so she can only watch dryly.

Wen had long since given up the heart of returning to his parents' house, although he was envious, but looking at the men around him and the children making noise on the ground, that envy disappeared immediately.

After dinner, Mrs. Li drove several sons and daughters-in-law back to her yard, she is now the eldest in the family, she has been tired for several days during the New Year, who doesn't want to have a good rest?

If Mei Zhongzhong was at home, everyone would definitely have to support her, but Mrs. Li didn't pay attention to this, and drove her son and daughter-in-law back to rest, and she also lay down on the kang to rest.

Yesterday, I kept vigil for half a night, and this morning I boiled medicine for Anhua Hao, and then I received the guests who came to pay New Year's greetings, and I couldn't hold it anymore.

An Huahao didn't dare to stay in Mei's house anymore, so he reluctantly pulled Mei Xiaotong to the door, and then took out a round bead with body temperature from his arms and stuffed it into her hand: "New Year's money for you!" ”

Mei Xiaotong's eyes lit up, and now she also received the New Year's money given to her by Mrs. Li.

In the past, Mrs. Li had to give Mei Xiaotong a lot of money for the New Year every year, and this year is no exception, giving five taels of silver.

Although five taels of silver is too little for Mei Xiaotong, this is a motherly heart of Mrs. Li, and Mei Xiaotong put it away happily.

I didn't expect to receive An Huahao's New Year's money.

After thinking about it, he took off the purse containing the silver beans, and simply gave it to An Huahao along with the purse: "This is your New Year's money!" ”

An Huahao's eyes flashed, he put his purse into his arms and rubbed Mei Xiaotong's hair: "Go back to sleep!" ”

Mei Xiaotong looked around at no one, stood on tiptoe, kissed An Huahao's cheek, and then turned around and ran into the house.

An Huahao touched his cheek and returned to his yard with a slight smile, although it was empty, he felt that he was not lonely at all.

Mei Xiaotong trotted

Entering the house, she alarmed Mrs. Li, who was lying on the kang and squinting, looking at her daughter's smiling smugness, she didn't know that she was afraid that she would bully Hua Hao's child again.

glanced at Mei Xiaotong with disgust, saw that her left hand was tightly held, and couldn't help but look at it twice.

Mei Xiaotong leaned over and slowly spread out her palms: "This is the New Year's money that Brother Song gave me." “

Then, both were stunned.

In the palm of Mei Xiaotong's hand, there is a golden bead overflowing with precious light, and the gold bead is carved with fine auspicious cloud patterns, which is delicate and lovely.

Mei Xiaotong liked it at first sight, and couldn't put it down in front of her.

Mrs. Li squinted her eyes and looked at it for a while, and snorted: "This kid, if you don't get married, I'm afraid that the private money will be spent!" ”

Mei Xiaotong smiled at Mrs. Li flatteringly: "No way, who let you see your girlfriend loved!" It's not good if you don't want to! Actually, I'm quite embarrassed......"

Mrs. Li slapped Mei Xiaotong's hand funny and angry, leaned on the pillow with satisfaction, and looked at the little girl's smiling face, her whole person was glowing with a motherly light from the inside out.

Since the separation of the family, Mei Zhongzhong is not at home, Mrs. Li's whole person has relaxed, and now the sons in the family have to listen to her, and the daughter-in-law does not dare to be a demon.

At the beginning, I couldn't think about it, I couldn't separate my family, and I was afraid that Mei Zhongzhong would dislike the little girl and endure it.

I knew why I had to do it in the first place!

※※※

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Mei family began to get busy.

It's time to prepare for the marriage of Mei Xiaotong and An Huahao.

The two sides have already agreed that the wedding will be held on the Mei family's side, and what needs to be cleaned up is Mei Xiaotong's house, and An Huahao's courtyard will be directly connected to this side when the time comes.

Then they built a high wall, planted thorny roses and wolfberries in the corners, and even thieves could not climb in.

Mrs. Li also moved back to the original upper room, and the house was also refurbished, which was more comfortable than before.

Mrs. Li also estimated that the wedding would be almost ready in half a month, and it was time to ask someone to bring a message to Mei Zhongzhong and let him come back.

Otherwise, his daughter is married, or he is recruiting a son-in-law, what does it mean that he doesn't come back?

I'm looking for someone to bring the letter over, a little bit more reliable.

I heard a knock on the door outside.

opened the door, and an unknown man stood at the door: "Is this the Mei family?" Is it the Mei family who has a talented man? ”

Tianhu opened the door, looked at the man, and said vigilantly: "This uncle, what are you doing with the Mei family?" ”

The man wiped his sweat, "I brought a letter to your family." ”

"With a letter? What letter? Tianhu asked.

The man hurriedly said: "It's news from Qicheng, saying that the old man in charge of your family went to the county seat, and the water and soil are very strict."

heavy, as well as bedridden. I want my family to visit us. Tianhu was stunned for a moment before he said: "I'm tired, please come and sit down first, I'll call my family to come out." So saying, he invited someone into the courtyard, poured water again, and accompanied him.

On the one hand, he asked Tianlong to report to his family.

After a while, the whole family gathered in the courtyard of the big house.

Although the family has separated, everyone is used to looking at Mei Xiaotong in advance.

Tianhu saw Mei Xiaotong stand up first: "Auntie, this uncle said that he came from the county seat, and said that someone from Qicheng brought a letter over, saying that the master went to Qicheng and was not sick, and now he can't get out of bed, let us go and see." ”

When these words came out, everyone was shocked, although Mei Xiaoque didn't like Mei Chang'an, Mei was still very filial. Immediately nervously asked: "Is it so serious to adapt to water and soil?" Have you seen the doctor? Does it matter? ”

The man smiled and scratched his head: "I'm really sorry, I'm just a messenger, that's how it came over there, and I know that." ”

Mei Xiaotong thanked the man who sent the letter first, and gave twenty big money to send the man out.

Entering the house, everyone looked at Mei Xiaotong.

Mei Changgui couldn't hold his breath: "Old sister, we have to go and see my father, I can't get out of bed, will it ......" Although the rest of the words were not spoken, everyone knew it.

Mei Xiaoque also nodded: "What I said is that my father is sick, and we must go and see it as children, otherwise wouldn't it be too unfilial?" ”

Mei Changqing frowned: "Dad was quite tough when he was at home, why did he go to Qicheng for a few days and be bedridden?" ”

"Didn't you say that the water and soil are not adapted?" Mei Changgui said.

"It's said that the water and soil are not adapted, then Qicheng is only a few hundred miles away, so you can't get out of bed? Besides, didn't that bastard say that he had a head and a face in Qicheng? Can't even find a doctor? Mei Changqing was very skeptical about the accuracy of this news, after all, Wang Lao Er had too many criminal records.

When Mei Changqing said this, everyone was also suspicious and looked at each other.

In the end, they all looked at Mei Xiaotong and Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li frowned, this dead old man is not reassuring to go out, if he is really sick, it will be too useless.

If you don't get sick, you can let the second child come back with the news of his birth illness, what's the use of a dead old man?

But the girl is about to get married, and the old man won't come back, and if he is really sick so badly, it will be troublesome.

After thinking about it, Mrs. Li clapped: "No matter what you say, you have to go and see, what if your father is really sick?" Now how we guess at home is a blind guess, we have to go to Qicheng. Pack your bags today and go to Qicheng tomorrow! ”

Mei Xiaotong and An Huahao exchanged glances, and they both knew each other.

"Then it's decided, mother, I'll accompany you." Mei Xiaotong nodded in agreement.

The three brothers of the Mei family looked at each other, Mei

Changqing also spoke: "And me, my father is now in our third room, and if something happens, we will naturally go." ”

Mei Changgui was also going, and Mei Xiaoque was just about to speak, Mei Xiaotong said: "Big brother, don't go, we are all gone in this house, and it is not okay to leave women and children." It's better for you to stay and let the Heavenly Tiger go with us, if you want something, we can do it for you. ”

This arrangement is very reasonable, if all the men in the family are gone, leaving a few women and children behind, there will be something to do.

Mei Xiaoque was silent for a while and nodded: "Okay!" He knew that this was because the little sister understood that he had a knot with the second child, and he really felt uncomfortable going to Qicheng, so he found a good excuse for him.

The matter was settled, and everyone hurried back to the house to pack their belongings.

Mei Changqing watched Wen collect his luggage for him, lay on the kang with Erlang's legs crossed, and casually admonished: "After I leave, you take the child at home." ”

Wen nodded meekly and agreed, biting his lip for a long time before he tentatively spoke: "In charge, dad will be fine, right?" ”

Mei Changqing didn't know the bottom of his heart, he thought about it and turned over again, turned out the box where the silver was placed, picked and picked up two pieces of silver, hesitated for a moment and put one back.

He said to himself: "Anyway, I got sick at the second child, so I can't pay for it, right?" After saying that, he closed the box and stuffed it back.

Wen hesitated for a moment before he said carefully: "Master, do you want to bring more money?" Now they're separated......"

Mei Zhongzhong has been distributed to them, when they really want to pay for it, the big head will definitely have to go out of their house, and they really have less silver, how embarrassing is it when they ask for money?

Mei Changqing checked the silver in his hand, and said nonchalantly: "Although it was distributed to our family at the beginning, it was only given five taels of silver, and we haven't seen anything else." Besides, he got sick from the bastard of the second child, shouldn't he pay for it? ”

Wen still wanted to say something, but seeing Mei Changqing's impatient appearance, he still closed his mouth.

Four rooms.

Liu Xiaoqiao packed his bags, thought about it, stuffed a silver ingot into Mei Changgui's package, and advised: "It costs money to go to Qicheng to eat all the way, we are separated now, we can't all count on my little sister to pay for it." Take the money and save some flowers. ”

Mei Changgui hurriedly agreed, and also instructed: "Don't worry, I know in my heart that if you are okay at home, it is good to do it with the third sister-in-law." ”

He no longer has the heart to know that his sister-in-law Zhou is not easy to entangle, and Wen's temperament is softer, but he is easy to get along with.
