"Now this yard, everything the Mei family has, is earned by your sister-in-law! Have a fart relationship with you? Your face is bigger than a millstone? Want to divide the family property too? Phew! Not a single thatch stick will be given to you! You made a fortune outside, not to mention giving some to your family to support your parents, and now you still want to share your sister's things? Do you want to be shameless? Isn't it human? ”

"Don't give the old lady these things to get or not, don't you say that you came back with the money that ransomed the land? Didn't you say that the silver ticket was in the box, let's go, go and take it out for the old lady now! As he spoke, he was going to take Qian Shi outside.

Mei Changan hurriedly stopped Mrs. Li and knelt down: "Mother, I said the wrong thing!" I shouldn't have said I wanted to divide the property! I'm just a little aggrieved for a while, but I'm also my father's son, I don't know anything about such a big thing as dividing the family, so it's ......"

Then he looked for Mei Xiaotong in the house, and he heard this girl's voice before, and asked the old lady if he was tired of the one.

At that time, he was bent on coaxing Mei Zhongzhong, so he really didn't have the distraction to watch.

When I looked at it at this moment, my eyes lit up.

I haven't seen it for half a year, but the black and fat girl is gone, and standing in front of me is a beautiful girl wearing a light red jacket, pink skin, clear eyes, and a slightly fleshy face.

If it weren't for the familiarity of those eyebrows, he really couldn't believe it, this was actually Mei Xiaotong?

That style, that demeanor, where is half the vulgarity of a country girl? Compared with his own golden hairpin, he is a little more affinity.

Mei Changan's heart suddenly boiled.

Taking a deep breath and suppressing his excitement, Mei Changan made a big salute to Mei Xiaotong: "Little sister! Thank you so much! The second brother did something wrong, and as a result, you have to bear it for the second brother! It's all the second brother's fault! Now that the second brother is back, don't worry, the second brother will treat you well! Compensate yours! ”

Mei Xiaotong saw Mei Changan's eyes suddenly lit up after seeing herself, and then her breathing was short, and she heard him put on this posture again.

only sneered: "Who are you second brother?" Our Mei family doesn't have Mei Changan, I remember that my father said it clearly, just as if he had never given birth to you, he expelled you from the house. ”

"Little sister, the second brother knows that he is wrong, didn't he come back to confess?" Mei Changan said with a smile.

"So what? Now that the family has been divided, they are all in charge of their own affairs, even if Dad is confused, I can forgive you, that's Daddy's business, what does it have to do with me? Mei Xiaotong said coldly.

Mei Zhongzhong's face turned blue suddenly.

When Mei Xiaoque heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up.

Mei Changqing couldn't help laughing: "It's not, Dad is confused, we're not confused!" People like you, let's stay hidden! Otherwise, you have to worry about the family's title deed being stolen! ”

Mei Changan has excellent psychological quality, and was ridiculed by Mei Xiaotong and Mei Changqing like this, but he didn't get angry, but smiled awkwardly: "You still don't forgive me?" ”

Mei Xiaotong became more and more vigilant in her heart, and she was the former Mei Changan, or any scholar, who was scolded by pointing her nose like this, but she could still endure it.

Either the city is very deep, or the demand is very big!

And Mei Changan is only afraid that these two things are accounted for.

She could guess with her feet that when Mei Changan came back, what she wanted was probably money.

It's just that she has completely cut off Mei Chang'an's way, even if Mei Zhongzhong gives Mei Changan all the principal in his hand, I'm afraid it will be far from quenching Mei Changan's thirst.

What's more, Mei Xiaotong looked at Mei Yongzhen standing beside Mei Zhongzhong without a trace, and this eldest sister was there, both of them were Mei Zhongzhong's hearts and eyes, and they were afraid that it would be difficult for Mei Zhongzhong to want a bowl of water.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was awkward, Qian and Jin Hai didn't dare to speak.

Mei Zhongzhong glanced at the whole room, thought for a while, and said, "It's not early, I'll talk about it tomorrow." Fourth, now that your yard is empty, why don't you let the second child live in your yard for a few days? ”

After all, there are many children in the eldest house, and the third child has his own yard, as for the yard of the girl and the old woman, Mei Zhongzhong didn't dare to think about it.

pondered for a long time, only the fourth was honest and easy to speak, and the fourth daughter-in-law was a new daughter-in-law, thin-skinned, and would not object.

Mei Changgui didn't expect to dump Mei Changan's family to himself in the end, and immediately reflexively went to see Mei Xiaotong.

Seeing Mei Xiaotong's calm face, he immediately became clever: "No!" ”

Mei Zhongzhong thought that the fourth child would agree, but he didn't expect him to refuse directly.

"Why not? You young couples live in one yard and have so many empty rooms, why can't you? Mei said loyally and dissatisfied.

Mei Changan was also busy: "Fourth, don't worry, our family is only staying for a few days, and we will go back after the New Year!" Anyway, we are also brothers, even if we are separated, blood and family are separated? Besides, even if there is a relative in the family, it is necessary to arrange a place to live. I know you all have problems with me, I can understand it, I don't think you can forgive me right away, now I just come as an ordinary relative, can't I stay for two days? ”

The new house looks spacious, bright and warm, much stronger than the old one.

Mei Changan naturally wants to live in this new house, so she can coax her father and mother more!

"Anyway, it just won't work!" Mei Changgui knew that he had to be in front at this time, if he had one leg, his father would definitely find his daughter-in-law.

I can say no, but my daughter-in-law can't say no!

Therefore, without saying the reason, he bit it to death and did not let go.

There was no way, Mei Zhongzhong looked at Mrs. Li tentatively: "Old woman, where you live-"

Mrs. Li didn't speak, only waved the thin bamboo pole in her hand, and Mei Changan couldn't help but tremble her skin three times. Looking around, Mei Zhongzhong looked at her three sons, all of them with a smile on their faces

Don't hide your resistance.

sighed, knowing that everyone's knot was still deep, and there was no way to untie it at this moment.

I had to say: "Second brother, or you go back to the old house first." Your old house is also in good condition, and you can live in it just by cleaning it. Your mother, and your brothers and sisters are still angry in their hearts, you came back too suddenly, we are not mentally prepared, and after tonight, everyone is discouraged, let's talk about it tomorrow. ”

What else could Mei Changan do, so he had to grit his teeth and agree.

When Jin Hai heard that he couldn't live in this new house and had to go back to the old house, he was immediately unhappy.

When he opened his mouth to speak, he was pinched by Qian's fiercely, and he suddenly didn't dare to make a sound with tears in his eyes.

However, Mei Yongzhen listened to this arrangement and was overjoyed: "That relationship is good, it's good to let the second brother be our companion!" As he spoke, he enthusiastically went to pull the Qian family.

Qian's heart is not happy, he can't live in a good new house and a big yard, and he wants to go back to live in the old house.

But now they didn't dare to say anything, so they could barely hold on to their smiling faces, and the family followed Mei Yongzhen back to the old house.

Sun Mutou was cooking, and when he heard the movement, he ran out to take a look, and was stunned.

Mei Yongzhen hurriedly said: "Hurry up and help your second uncle clean up the house, your second uncle and his family are temporarily living with us for the past few days." ”

As soon as these words came out, Mei Changan and Qian frowned together.

Sun Mutou nodded, didn't speak, took a broom, waited for Mei Yongzhen to open the door with the key, and then went in to clean.

This house was a few days ago

The master who lived in the new house cleaned it again after leaving, and now it is only a little floating ash, and Sun Mu came out after sweeping it in three or two.

Qian and Jin Hai covered their noses and went in, there was still some dust, so they choked and ran out.

"How gray is this house, how to live in it? Mother, I don't want to live here! The golden hairpin stomped his feet.

Mei Changan was in pain at the moment, standing in the yard and cold, thinking about it, and said to Mei Yongzhen: "Eldest sister, can I go to your house to rest my feet first?" The place on my body that was pumped by my mother now hurts when I move, and I guess it's bleeding to the touch! ”

Mei Yongzhen hurriedly said: "Oops, I forgot about this!" Come and rest in my room. ”

He led the man into his own room, which was empty, except for a table, and two chairs.

Mei Changan sat on the chair and ordered: "Ruyue, quickly show me the injuries on my body!" ”

Qian hurriedly stepped forward and carefully took off his robe for Mei Changan and put it aside.

When Mei Yongzhen saw it, she hurriedly pulled Jin Hai out and withdrew.

As soon as he went out, Jin Hai shook off Mei Yongzhen's hand and walked to the side with a pout.

Mei Yongzhen didn't care, and touched Jin Hai's hair lovingly: "Jin Hai, right, they have grown into beautiful big girls, it's cold outside, you go to the stove house to sit, where is it warmer." ”

Where would Jin Hai go to the stove house, which she thought was pickled, because she was afraid of dirty clothes.

But at this time, the sky was dark, and the howling wind blew on the body, which could penetrate the clothes, and after a while, the body was blown cold.

endured it, but followed Mei Yongzhen to the stove house, took the small bench given by Mei Yongzhen, and sat at the door of the stove, so that his body was warmer.

Mei Yongzhen was not idle, and went to fetch water to wipe the table and kang mat in Mei Changan's house. He also instructed Sun Mu to burn the kang.

After a while, Mei Zhongzhong knocked on the door again and brought a futon to Mei Chang'an's family.

I happened to see the Qian family showing Mei Changan's injury, and when he walked over to take a look, his brows furrowed.

Mrs. Li really didn't keep her hand, this thin bamboo pole looked inconspicuous, and it hurt very much on her body.

Now the weather is cold and he is wearing thick clothes, but the cotton robe on Mei Changan's body has been torn in several places, and the cotton inside is exposed.

Not to mention the arms, neck, and legs, which were really staggered with red marks, all swollen.

As soon as he touched it, Mei Changan snorted slightly.

"Your mother is really, why didn't you leave a hand at all?" Mei Zhongzhong also felt unbearable when he looked at it.

"Dad, I'm fine! As long as my mother can dissipate her anger, I am willing to smoke me two more times! Mei Changan lowered his eyebrows, showing infinite filial piety.

Mei Zhongzhong handed over the bedding to the Qian family, and went back in a hurry, and brought a bottle of medicinal oil after a while: "Use this to rub it, and the swelling will disappear when you get up tomorrow morning!" I've brought you some game, and you're going to eat it here at night!" I'll talk about it tomorrow when your mother is gone. ”

After saying that, Mei Yongzhen said a few more words, and then left in a hurry.

Mei Yongzhen cleaned up the house where Mei Changan and the others lived, and the kang was burned, and Mei Changan, Qian and Jin Hai went back to the house.

Mei Changan couldn't stop thanking: "Eldest sister, it's really thanks to you!" Otherwise, we don't know what to do tonight! ”

At the same time, he instructed the Qian family: "The eldest sister has helped us clean up the house, what are you still doing?" Why don't you go and help your eldest sister cook? Are you waiting for the eldest sister to serve? ”

Mei Yongzhen has never heard anyone thank her so much, especially

Is the second brother still a talented man, it is really exciting, and he is full of indescribable energy.

Hurriedly waved his hand and said, "You are injured, let your younger siblings take care of you!" I'm going to cook! I'm going to cook! "Laughing as if picking up gold ingots.

Watching Mei Yongzhen enter the stove house, the smile on Mei Changan's face was closed, and as soon as he turned around, his body hurt, and he couldn't help but curse in a low voice.

Qian hurriedly stepped forward to help: "Official, are you okay?" If we had known that you would suffer such a sin when we came back, we might as well not come back! ”

Mei Changan glared at her: "Woman's opinion! What is this injury? If you don't suffer a little, can you make them believe? Confused! I'll tell you, Ming'er

Don't show me the bottom, do you hear? ”

Qian said in a low voice: "But Daddy's side, the official, you promised to send a silver ticket tomorrow morning, let's ...... it."

The voice was low and could not be heard.

Mei Changan frowned, and after thinking for a while, he said, "I know this in my heart, don't worry about it." You'll just have to bring the gifts we bought early tomorrow morning, and then ......"

※※※

In the stove house, Sun Mutou had a calm face, and while adding firewood to the stove, he said: "Mother, let's get involved in the affairs of grandpa's family......

Mei Yongzhen was stir-frying, Mei Zhongzhong just mentioned a hare, which was chopped into pieces by her, and she planned to braise a pot.

Hearing Sun Mutou's words, he disagreed: "What do your children know?" Now our Sun family can't count on it, your mother used to be confused, and she was not close to your uncles and aunts. It's okay that your grandfather is here now, but what can you do if your grandfather is not there in the future? Now that your second uncle is finally back, he is still a talented master, and he is doing things for the county master, let's not talk about stammering, the relationship is better, and maybe I can pull you in the future! ”

Sun Mu threw a piece of firewood into the stove: "I'm a country boy, what can my second uncle pull me?" Mother, let's do our duty, isn't it good to live honestly? ”

He saw that his mother's temperament had become more and more unspeakably uncomfortable since his father's time.

"Wasn't my mother honest enough before? But I was tortured by your milk and almost lost half my life! Mother understands it, this person has to plan for himself! Besides, my mother doesn't have any other ideas, she just wants to get closer to your second uncle, what good things will your second uncle do when the time comes, thinking about us, this is also wrong? ”

Sun Mutou lowered his head and stopped making a sound.

Early the next morning, Mei Yongzhen made breakfast, because of Mei Changan's family, she specially boiled white porridge, served with pickles, and cut two salted duck eggs.

This was brought by Mei Zhongzhong, and she was reluctant to eat it, so she didn't take it out until today.

It was the best thing she could ever get her hands on.

Mei Changan didn't say anything, Jin Hai originally wanted to pick and choose, when she was in Qicheng.

Where have you eaten this in the morning? It's either dim sum with a bowl of sweet bean curd, or three fresh xiaolongbao with porridge, and there are several side dishes.

It's just that the Qian family had already explained to her last night and asked her to endure it for a few days, so even if she wasn't happy, she reluctantly drank half a bowl of porridge with salted eggs.

After breakfast, Qian went back to the house and hugged a large package, which was packed up last night as a gift for the Mei family.

Qian first gave Mei Yongzhen a bag of pastries, saying that it was unique to the county, and then gave Mei Yongzhen a thin silver hairpin, and also said that it was a new trick in the county, so that Mei Yongzhen could wear it and play with it.

Mei Yongzhen married a few silver hairpins except when she got married, and no one really gave her this.

I also heard that it is a good east in the county

West, so excited that his hands trembled, holding the hairpin and not letting go.

There was a touch of contempt in Qian's eyes, he had never seen the world, and a silver hairpin would be like this.

I also have to smile and say some kind words like a simple gift, don't be weird, big sister.

When they arrived at the new house, the Mei family was eating.

Breakfast is usually placed in Mei Changqing's yard now, and today I eat chicken noodle soup.

It was the soup that Liu Xiaoqiao brought back yesterday that boiled up all night, and the bones and meat were separated.

The freshly made noodles in the morning are chewy and smooth, cooked in a pot and taken out and placed in a bowl, poured with a spoonful of chicken broth, and sprinkled with chopped green garlic leaves, which makes people whet their appetite as soon as they smell it.

Jin Hai didn't eat well yesterday, Mei Yongzhen's cooking skills are average, a good rabbit, she is reluctant to put oil, reluctant to put seasonings, almost boiled in water, there is still cabbage and radish in it, where can it be delicious?

I only ate half a bowl of white porridge this morning, and at the moment I smelled the smell of chicken soup, I couldn't help but salivate.

It's a girl's house, and she wants to be faced, so she only looks at the Qian family with her eyes.

Qian didn't expect that after the mother-in-law's family lost them, life would be so good, and she actually ate chicken noodle soup early in the morning, and this umami made her almost unbearable.

Since Mei Changan was dismissed, he has to go around, spend money like water, and not be too shabby by holding on to the façade.

As the saying goes: there are no clothes on the body, and no one knows if there is no food in the stomach.

Qian can only save expenses, save and save, and save on food.

Mei Changan eats out almost every day in order to make a point, Jin Hai is her only daughter, and she is still a child, so her standards have not been lowered.

Qian and her father and mother are green vegetables and white rice every day, and they can only see meat once in half a month.

Mei Yongzhen's rabbit last night was tasteless, and she ate several pieces, not to mention the fragrant chicken soup.

It's just that she wants to save face, and she also remembered Mei Changan's words, glared at Jin Hai, and asked her to be reserved.

Mei Zhongzhong saw that the second family had come over, so she asked, "Have you eaten?" Would you like to have a bite to eat? ”

Mei Changan also sat down at the table, and said very filial piety: "Third brother and sister, bring me a bowl too, and I will accompany my father to eat a little more." ”

Wen was dumbfounded, and begged for help to see Mei Changqing.
