From a distance, I saw the tall horses, the new carriages, and the old lady in the carriage.

The two immediately rushed over, "Auntie! Auntie, is this our carriage? ”

Anhua Hao flicked his whip, rolled Xiaojuan into the car, and reached out to lift the leopard up.

The two children rushed into the carriage, touching here and there, and they were very curious.

Soon arrived in front of the courtyard of the Mei family.

The people of the Mei family had already gotten the news and were waiting at the door.

Seeing An Huahao and Mei Xiaotong coming slowly in the carriage, Tianlong and Tianhu couldn't help it, and they all greeted it first, even Mei Changqing's eyes lit up, and he followed his nephew to the carriage.

couldn't help but say, "Sister, this is what our family bought?" ”

Mei Xiaotong nodded.

"Let the third brother try?" Mei Changqing looked at it with blank eyes.

An Huahao looked at Mei Xiaotong, and Mei Xiaotong nodded.

An Huahao didn't say a word, he threw the horsewhip to Mei Changqing, and then jumped out of the carriage and stretched out his hand to help Mei Xiaotong get out of the car.

Mei Xiaotong was calm, in front of her father, mother and sister-in-law, her face also turned red, avoided An Huahao's arm, and easily jumped out of the carriage.

Mei Changqing took the whip and sat in the carriage, Tianlong and Tianhu, as well as Xiaoque and Xiaoduo who followed behind, hurriedly pulled me, I hugged you, and squeezed into the carriage together.

The whip in Mei Changqing's hand flicked, "Sit tightly-drive~"

The mule walked forward meekly and honestly, and in the carriage, the children laughed.

Along the way, there were men and children from the village, following the carriage, the adults chatting with Mei Changqing, and the children, running behind the carriage.

Frolicking and running away.

Mrs. Li heard Mei Xiaotong say that An Huahao went to Jing County to inquire about the people behind the scenes, and now he is back, Xu has inquired?

Therefore, the attitude was very enthusiastic, "Hua Hao is back, tired, right?" Come into the house and sit down, and eat at my aunt's place in the evening. ”

An Huahao nodded.

Mei Xiaotong personally fetched a basin of water for An Huahao, took a new handkerchief, and asked him to scrub it, seeing that he was too tired, and seeing that it was still early, he simply asked him to lie down in Mei Changgui's house.

An Huahao was indeed a little unbearable, so he obediently went to lie down in Mei Changgui's house.

In the yard, the family surrounded Mei Xiaotong, and Mei Changgui's face turned red with excitement, "Sister, is that really what our family bought?" In the future, we will have mules and carriages in our house? ”

Mei Xiaotong nodded, and took out the deed to buy the mule and showed it to Mrs. Li and Mei Zhongzhong.

Mei Zhongzhong only glanced at the mule first, and on the outside, it looked like a good animal, but he was still not at ease, "Xiaotong, how old is this mule?" Nothing else, right? You too, if I knew you were going to buy mules, I should

I'm going with you. What do you know about this girl's family? ”

Mrs. Li was not happy, "My daughter's own silver, I took out my own money and was willing to buy such a big mule and such a big carriage, why didn't she buy it?" Old man, are you sorry to speak? My daughter doesn't understand, don't you understand? What are you going to do? Can you pay for it? Just the dozens of eldest sons on you, or the monthly money that my daughter sent you! ”

"The family is now supported by their daughters, why do they still have the problem of picking and choosing? It's been decades since there were no mules and no carriages, and I haven't seen you babbling? Besides, my daughter can buy whatever animal she wants to come back, even if she buys an old mule and comes back, so what? The old mule doesn't cost money, and others give it away for nothing? Is my daughter's money blown by the wind? One kicked his nose in the face, relying on my daughter's tender face, and wanted to bully her! The old lady is the first to refuse! ”

Mei Zhongzhong was just worried that her daughter didn't understand the market and was fooled into spending a lot of money to buy useless livestock back.

was slapped by Mrs. Li like this, and said angrily, so angry that she squatted aside and smoked.

I know that this old woman is angry that she only handed over 50 big money to her, and she is angry when she has the opportunity.

Mrs. Li said this time, and everyone was stunned.

Mei Xiaotong explained while drinking water, "Dad, don't worry, this was picked by Brother Song, and the boss of the car and horse shop wants to buy it and still doesn't sell it." ”

"What's going on?" When Mrs. Li heard this, she asked vigilantly.

As soon as Mei Xiaotong told the truth of the matter, Mrs. Li patted her thigh, "I'll just say, my daughter's errands have never gone wrong." With Hua Hao's help, can you still buy the wrong one? Oops, Hua Hao is a great hero, no, I have to get some delicious food in the evening to thank him......"

As he spoke, he beckoned to Zhou and Wen, "Quick, go to the yard and catch the fattest rooster for me, and stew the chicken at night!" ”

Mei Xiaotong blinked her eyes, Mrs. Li is a bloody woman, there are a number of roosters and hens in this family, they are all Mrs. Li's heart, except for herself, no one can eat it.

Even Mei Changgui was injured, so he only went outside to buy some meat and bones and eat chicken? Stop dreaming.

As soon as Zhou thought of the fragrance of the stewed chicken, he immediately became energetic, picked up the broom, and went to drive the chicken with great dignity.

Sun was cleaning up the pigsty, the pigsty was a little more partial, with his back in the corner, and at this moment he saw Zhou's rushing over with a broom, and he was stunned.

Then before he could react, he saw a black shadow flying in the air, and then the top of his head sank, and his scalp was in sharp pain.

"Oh oh oh ~ ~" The big rooster of the Mei family, which has the fattest and most handsome wives and concubines, firmly grasped Sun's hair with two paws at this moment, and barked at Zhou defiantly.

Zhou spat in the palm of his hand and said to Sun, "You stand still, if you let the chicken run away, see how your mother cleans you up!" ”

Only then did Sun realize that he was self-sufficient

There was a rooster on top of her head, and the claws were hard and hard, no wonder her scalp hurt.

The thought of being ridden on the head by a flat-haired beast, and God knows what the paws had been gouged up, dung heaps, mud or something, Sun felt a wave of nausea.

Involuntarily screamed, and grabbed the big with both hands, "Ahhh

The big rooster whose dignity and status have been seriously challenged, is very impatient, and bowing his head is a peck.

"Wow-" Sun's hand was pecked into a bloody hole, and suddenly the ghost cried wolf, and his hands waved wildly.

Zhou saw that the Sun family was so useless, if it continued like this, he was afraid that the chicken would run away.

I can't take care of it, and I shoot it with a broom-

The Zhou family already has a lot of strength, although he was abused in the Lin family, but after returning to the Mei family, he can eat well every day, and this body has long been raised.

With a broom of all his strength, he directly slapped the rooster off Sun's head, flapped his wings, and flew away.

Zhou couldn't care about Sun, and hurriedly chased after him.

Sun covered his face, just now Zhou's broom, slapped the rooster away, but this broom is made of bamboo branches, after sweeping for a long time, the leaves on it have been swept away, and there are some bare poles left, which slid down Sun's face, and a few blood stains were immediately drawn out on the face.

Sun was in pain and scared, and it took a long time to come to his senses, and he looked up at Zhou's back, as if he had been poisoned in his eyes.

No matter how the rooster got stricken, he was finally chased and intercepted by everyone, and he was miserable and miserable.

Dinner was served, the sun was setting, and Mei Changqing came back with a carload of children.

Drove the carriage in through the back door.

Mei Zhongzhong, Mei Xiaoque, and Mei Changgui also hurriedly got up, carefully looked at the mule's teeth, and then looked at the coat color, hooves, etc., and had to admit that this was a good animal.

Because suddenly, before I could make a circle for the mule, I had to tie the mule to the side of the jujube tree, drag in a bundle of straw, and go to the vegetable garden to cut some greens and throw them to the mule.

The whole family gathered around to eat.

At the banquet, Mrs. Li thanked An Huahao without saying anything, and gave two big chicken legs, one to her daughter and one to An Huahao.

Mei Changqing's face is not very good-looking, after coming back for so many days, he also knows that An Huahao and his sister-in-law have divorced, and now this is all kinds of flattery, isn't it just that the Mei family is rich, and he wants to renew his relationship with his sister-in-law?

Dad and mother are really old and confused, An Huahao just helped these little favors, just praise him like this?

Don't say anything else, even if Mei Changqing is not convinced, she will admit that the girl is beautiful and can make money now, what kind of man can't marry, he has to hang himself on An Huahao's crooked neck tree?

Therefore, looking at An Huahao's eyes, he was very dissatisfied.

Anwar is as steady as ever

Taishan sat down, not taking Mei Changqing in his eyes at all.

The food is almost over, Mei Zhongzhong said, "In the past few days, I have already seen the yellow calendar, and the patriarch has already decided today, and early tomorrow morning, after sacrificing to the ancestors, I will start to harvest it." Let's go to bed early today, get up early tomorrow, these days, everyone works hard, and our annual rations rely on these few days! ”

Speaking of the most important time of the year in this village, Mrs. Li doesn't scold anymore, she arranges it every year, and this year is the same.

"Ming'er, your father, the third child, Tianlong and Tianhu, the old family, and the concubine bought by the third child, you are responsible for cutting, and I, and the third family are responsible for tying up. The eldest drove the grain to the yard, and the fourth child watched at the door of the house, so as not to be dragged away. When it's almost noon, the third family comes back to cook, and the rest of the little guys, you are responsible for picking up rice in the back. ”

It's just that Mei Xiaotong's affairs were not arranged.

Mei Changqing muttered, "We all have something, what about the old sister?" ”

Mrs. Li flew over with an eye knife, "Your sister wants to make money, otherwise where did this mule carriage come from?" If you come back with a mule and a carriage for the old lady, the old lady will let you rest too! ”

Mei Changqing didn't dare to make a sound.

Mei Xiaotong hurriedly said, "Mother, the family is so busy, just let me be idle alone, where am I embarrassed?" Otherwise, I'll just cook for everyone at home, so that the third sister-in-law won't run around. ”

"Nonsense! There are so many people in the family, and there is no shortage of you. There is a lot of oil smoke in the stove house, and the eyes are buried, so you can be obediently at home, you are tired these days, if you really want to do something, just send us food. "Where is Mrs. Li willing to give up her precious daughter, busy working in the stove house on such a hot day?

flatly refused, but he still reluctantly arranged a thing, which was regarded as blocking everyone's mouth.

"Mother, just let me try, I won't burn the stove." Mei Xiaotong joked.

Mei Zhongzhong took a puff of cigarette, "Just let Xiaotong cook, learn to do it now, and you won't be talked about when you get married in the future." ”

Mrs. Li took a sip of "Fart!" I, Xiaotong, don't get married, I want to recruit a son-in-law at home! Do you need to cook your own meals? Now that I have my wife to cook for her, even if I can't do it in the future, her sisters-in-law will eat rice? Don't know how to make it for Xiaotong? Is it worthy of Xiaotong? Besides, our family Xiaotong recruits sons-in-law, why can't sons-in-law do it? ”

Amazing! Loud! Confidently!

Mei Xiaotong......

Mei Family......

An Huahao blinked, because of the perennial hunting outside and Song's mother's body, he would cook by himself very early, but his skills were not good, did he want to find a cook to learn now?

After being silent for a long time, An Huahao opened his mouth to break the silence, "Uncle Zhuzi, aunt, I will go to the field early tomorrow morning to help." ”

Mei Zhongzhong also coughed, "Ahem, that."

, where is the embarrassment, our family has enough hands-"

"It's okay, with my help, let Yongzhu rest at home-" An Huahao said calmly, and said clearly, I will come tomorrow and work for Yongzhu, don't arrange things for her.

Mei Zhongzhong choked on a puff of cigarette in her throat, coughed so much that tears came out, and she couldn't speak for a long time.

Mrs. Li took over the conversation, "Then the aunt is welcome, you will come to your aunt's house for dinner early tomorrow morning, and go together after eating!" ”

Anwar agreed, and then got up to take his leave.

Mei Xiaotong glared at him, got up and sent An Huahao to the door, "What nonsense are you talking about?" Ming'er, why are you coming to our house to help? ”

An Huahao pursed his lips, "I'll come early tomorrow morning!" After speaking, he turned around and took two steps, and then turned back, "I can cook, although it is not very delicious, and when the autumn harvest is over, I will find a cook to learn!" ”

Dropping this sentence, An Huahao quickly disappeared into the darkness.

Mei Xiaotong is inexplicable, what does it matter to him how to cook? Do you need to talk to yourself?

No, she remembered Mrs. Li's previous declaration, why can't her son-in-law do it?

Be careful that the liver suddenly pops and pops......

finally waited until everyone fell asleep, Mei Xiaotong was lying on the kang, and Xiao Tongtong couldn't wait for her to contact her, and she couldn't wait to jump out.

"Host, host! Hurry up, level up! ”

"Don't be busy yet, you wait for me to think about it for a while!"

"What else to think about? After the system is upgraded to level 4, there will be more functions, more rewards, and more help to the host! "Xiao Tongtong doesn't quite understand, the points are sufficient, why don't you upgrade?

"To upgrade to level three, it takes 100 points, and level three to four, how many points do you need?" Mei Xiaotong felt that Xiao Tongtong's abrupt upgrade last time was lost for half a month as soon as she ran, which was really unreliable, so she asked clearly first.

"Level 3 to Level 4, you need 800 points."

That's a category, and it takes two hundred points.

"What about going from level four to level five?"

"2000 points."

Mei Xiaotong silently swallowed the question she was going to ask about how many points she needed for level six, she felt that it was better not to know.

"How long will it take for you to move up two levels at once this time?"

"Twenty days, if nothing else."

"That's not going to work, it's not going to be upgraded for the time being." Mei Xiaotong flatly refused.

……

Xiao Tongtong's system almost died of anger.

Mei Xiaotong has points, she is confident, thinking that she will cook for her family tomorrow, and in the system mall, she slowly finds a beginner home-cooked cookbook, which only needs two points.

I bought it very happily.

Xiao Tongtong saw that Mei Xiaotong really had the posture of not upgrading its points, and she panicked, and said cautiously, "Host, if you are very reluctant to accompany this system, I can also complete the upgrade in advance."

, only need the host to have an extra hundred points, and within ten days, the custodian host can see the system. ”

Mei Xiaotong snorted coldly, are you stupid? How easy are the points earned? She doesn't need Xiao Tongtong much on weekdays, so she doesn't have the idea of being reluctant to do so at all, spending a hundred points, ten days in advance? It's not such a waste to have more points!

"What are you anxious about, I will naturally give you an upgrade when it is time to upgrade you, but now I need you to do a favor, don't worry, it won't be too long, and you can upgrade as long as you want, and you can upgrade if you don't come back." Mei Xiaotong comforted Xiao Tongtong with no sincerity.

What can Xiao Tongtong do? It's desperate too!

Aggrievedly agreed, it doesn't work if you don't agree, without the consent of the host, as a system can't force yourself to upgrade!

Mei Xiaotong got Xiao Tongtong's promise, so she was relieved.

With the satisfaction of carrying a huge amount of points, you fall asleep.

※※※

Early in the morning, before dawn, the entire Lingshan Village began to be lively.

Lamps are lit in the houses, industrious women are busy in the stove houses, and men are sorting out the farm tools that will be used in the fields for a while.

The children who were lying in bed refused to get up, and they were picked up from the kang by their parents and slapped their buttocks twice, and they cried and got up.

The old people were busy preparing the offerings to be used for a while, and the whole village came alive.

The Mei family is no exception, they all woke up early in the morning, the Wen family was already busy in the stove house, Mei Zhongzhong and Mei Xiaoque took their two eldest grandsons to take down the carport on the carriage, and they could use the carriage to haul the grain for a while.

Mei Changgui was staring at a few children and telling them not to be mischievous.

Mrs. Li prepared the things to be used for the sacrifice, and when she went to the courtyard, she saw that except for the third child and the Sun family, everyone had arrived.

Suddenly there was a nameless fire, yesterday there were thousands of instructions, today I have to get up early, even the children are sensible to get up to help, the third and that slut can still lie down?

kicked open the hut where Sun lived, Sun was still in a dream, yesterday her face was scratched, it hurt for half a night, she kept fetching water with a handkerchief, and fell asleep in the second half of the night.

The sound of the door being kicked open startled her, and she turned over and sat up, before she could wake up, "What's the matter?" What's wrong? ”

Mrs. Li didn't say a word, stepped forward and grabbed Sun's hair, and slapped her twice, "Shameless slut, sell it to my Mei family and think you're here to enjoy it?" Yesterday, the old lady didn't make it clear, or did you not have long ears? The main family is up, and one of your concubines is still lying down, and you still want the old lady to call you? Fooling around with a wild man last night? Or did you go as a thief? ”
