Chapter 227: Generous
Everyone agreed, and Mei Xiaoque hurriedly went into the warehouse to check the mountain goods.
Xiaoque's eyes were different when she looked at Mei Changqing's father, she always knew that her father couldn't count on it, but she didn't expect that she could get praise from her grandmother and aunt today, which made Xiaoque feel a little incredible.
It was Mei Changqing, who heard that there was a reward, and rubbed to Mei Xiaotong's side with a smile, "Old sister, tell me, according to your third brother's merits today, what can you reward me at most?" ”
Mei Xiaotong is also generous, it is rare to see that Mei Changqing is still able to do things, especially when he and his mother praise Mei Changqing a few more words, his expression is different.
His heart suddenly moved, and he said with a smile, "What does the third brother want?" Why don't you reward the third brother with a tael of silver when you pay the monthly money this month, what do you think? ”
"A tael of silver?" Before Mei Changqing could speak, Zhou and Xiaoque on the side shouted.
Now at home, this Mei Xiaoque only has 100 yuan a month, Mei Changqing just found out that people were selling fakes, so he rewarded him with a tael of silver?
Zhou's envious eyes were green.
Xiaoque looked at Mei Changqing, but he didn't expect that his father, would be able to make money?
Mei Changqing didn't expect Mei Xiaotong to be so generous, she just opened her mouth and moved her hands, and she could get a tael of silver for nothing?
Over the years, Mei Changqing has only cheated his family and deceived the money of people outside, and he has really not earned so much money seriously.
was stunned for a while, his eyes flashed for a long time, and there seemed to be tears flashing faintly, but they quickly disappeared.
"My sister is generous! Okay, a tael of silver is a tael of silver, right? If you still find this kind of thing in the future, will there be a reward? Mei Changqing quickly returned to normal, and asked with a ruffian.
Mei Xiaotong smiled slightly, "Third brother, what do you think?" ”
Mei Changqing's scalp is numb, hey, hey, this pride has forgotten who her old sister is, and when she is used to mixing outside, she has to make inches.
Suddenly sneered, "I'll go to help my eldest brother ......", and the soles of his feet were so oiled that he slipped away.
Xiaoque gritted his teeth, stomped his foot, and followed Mei Changqing into the warehouse.
Mrs. Li glared at Zhou, "If you don't go to help the third family's cooking, what are you doing with your hands?" Waiting for the meal to be served on the table? ”
What the Zhou family is most afraid of now is Mrs. Li, plus today's own man almost went wrong and made the family lose money, so he didn't dare to talk much, so he went into the stove house with low eyebrows and gave Wen's help.
Mrs. Li said dissatisfiedly, "You are a loser, why are you so loose?" Even if the third child has made a meritorious contribution today, if he makes something delicious, it is enough to give two or three hundred Wen, why did you give one or two silver? You don't know the third person, he can save money? The money was given to him, and within two days he ran to the town to give it to the blind......
Mei Xiaotong helped Mrs. Li to walk into the house, and only after entering the house did she whisper, "Mother, I'm here."
Naturally, they have their own intentions. You also said before that since the third brother was sensible, he didn't do a single reliable thing, so he gave birth to a mouth, died so much that he could be said to be alive, and then cheated and cheated everywhere. You also thought before that this man became a relative, had a child, and would be able to restrain himself and know the Gu family. But the third brother is still the same as the horse without a hitch, the third sister-in-law has given birth to three children with him, and he is still focused on not being at home outside. ”
"You said that the third brother is hopeless, but I don't see it. The third brother still has this family in his heart, but he has been outside for a long time, and he has changed his temperament, so he doesn't know what to do. I see that today you praised the third brother, and the third brother is happy. ”
"I just thought, since before, my mother and father were scolding, and I didn't see that I could bring the third brother over, I think it's still not right. Today, the third brother helped the family solve this big trouble, and he himself was very surprised, plus you praised him, and said that he was specially made pheasant cubs to eat, I saw that the third sister-in-law's eyes were full of light, and Xiaoque also had a better view of the third brother, and even the third brother's complexion was very different from before. ”
"I just pondered, maybe this is a method, let's praise the third brother more, reward him, maybe he can change it for the better, not to mention anything else, the third brother has been outside for so many years, and he has seen the world. As for that fraudulent method, if there is no third brother, where will we know where to go? To do business, we have to have the third brother like this, we know some deviations, we know in our hearts, don't hurt others, just prevent others from harming us, it's also the credit of the third brother, isn't it? ”
"You used to say that the third brother is just an idle eater, what to do, what to eat is not enough, it is all wild outside, and you can't take it back. Today's incident proves that the third brother has learned something outside over the years, which may not have been useful before, but now it seems that it will be quite useful in the future. ”
"Besides, our family is now rich, and it is not difficult to come up with a tael of silver, if the third brother can be improved, it is worth spending more silver."
After saying a few words, Mrs. Li smiled angrily, "Okay, okay, you are still thinking about straightening the third child." If this method is really effective, this money is not unwilling. A few years ago, he was so unsuccessful, and his mother never really let him starve to death. That's it, just use your method to see, if you can really change it, it will be your credit, if you can't change it, we will die of heart, and we won't let him touch any silver in the future. ”
Mei Xiaotong naturally said okay, she can't help it, Mei Changqing's temperament definitely can't be let out to cause trouble.
Suppressing by force, there is always a time of negligence, he is so adult, he can't be chained, right?
Therefore, it is the most reliable to let Mei Changqing change by himself and have a sense of belonging and responsibility to this family.
Mei Changqing is not as good as Mei Changan, that is really a desire for profit, in order to be promoted and make a fortune, everything can be abandoned, there is no lower limit.
Although Mei Changqing is selfish, she is not bad to the bone.
These days, she also discovered that Mei Changqing is the most
It's a face-loving person, he looks like he's stingy on the surface, he doesn't seem to care what others say about him, no matter how ugly he says, he laughs, and often echoes himself to blacken himself.
But just now she asked her family to learn from Mei Changqing, but she found that Mei Changqing's eyes lit up all of a sudden, and the whole person was very different from before.
She had this idea, anyway, a dead horse should be used as a live horse doctor, it can really make Mei Changqing better, and it will be good for the Mei family and herself.
When An Huahao went home, he naturally found out that the atmosphere of the Mei family was a little strange for the first time.
However, he naturally didn't ask too much, and only gave the dim sum he bought from the town to Mrs. Li, and brought Mei Zhongzhong a little tobacco leaves.
Mei Zhongzi happily went to take the tobacco leaves to the side to try the cigarette.
Mrs. Li complained a few words that An Huahao would not be in charge of life, which was too wasteful, but the corners of her eyes were smiling, naturally this was not true.
In fact, I was extremely satisfied.
Mei Xiaotong could see that although An Huahao's expression looked the same as usual, his eyebrows were always wrinkled unconsciously, thinking about going out this time, he encountered something annoying.
So I found an excuse and dragged An Huahao to the backyard; "But what's wrong with going to town?"
An Huahao hesitated, "It's okay for everything else, but I received a message from the two gentlemen who taught me before, asking me to go there in the next few days, saying that I have something to explain." I think it's a little strange, I made it clear last time, it's been torn clean, what else can I explain? I'm worried that things will change......"
Mei Xiaotong also chuckled in her heart, the meaning of An Huahao's words was revealed, I am afraid that the nobleman, will he feel that he has been deceived and will do something?
However, she was not too worried, "What is this, the soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it." What does this mistaken child have to do with you? It's all made by Song Chunhua, besides, if he really has the so-called father-son relationship with Song Chunhua's child, he won't treat you like that. Ming'er, I just happened to send mountain goods to the town, I will accompany you to take a look, I want to see what can happen. ”
As soon as An Huahao's eyes lit up, his expression softened, and when he looked at Mei Xiaotong, he only felt a sweetness in his heart.
For so many years, no matter how hard and difficult it was, he was the only one who could resist it.
Now, there is finally a person who says to himself that he can accompany him.
An Huahao only felt that his throat was a little choked.
He covered his mouth and coughed twice, then nodded.
Mei Xiaotong also briefly said what happened at home today, and only said the reward for Mei Changqing, and An Huahao immediately understood.
"I think you may be able to do this, the third brother has been out there for so many years, and the brothers who were with him at the beginning were some who couldn't get along, some were injured and down, and some lost their lives at a young age. The third brother though
He always can't make money, but you see him, no matter how long he goes out, how far he goes, he can always come back safely, which is also his ability. ”
"Now this mountain goods business is becoming more and more eye-catching, this kind of thing will be indispensable in the future, and it is also a good thing to have people like the third brother in town."
An Huahao thought more far-reaching, people like Mei Changqing used it well, used it skillfully, and the effect was great.
In the past, he had no identity position to remind him, but now that Mei Xiaotong can figure it out by herself, it would be great.
The two discussed a few more words about the delivery and returned to the yard.
Mei Xiaoque and the others have already checked all the mountain goods, and they really found a few things that don't look right, and for the sake of insurance, they all picked them out and put them aside.
After this incident, Mei Xiaoque also became vigilant, and secretly decided in her heart that when she received mountain goods in the future, she must be careful and careful.
It just so happened that dinner was ready, and Zhou came out to greet everyone to eat.
In the past, when Mei's family was eating, Mei Zhongzhong and Mrs. Li sat at the top, with a male column and a female column, and sat down next to each other.
Mei Xiaoque is the eldest son, and he has always sat next to Mei Zhongzhong, followed by Tianlong and Tianhu.
Mei Changgui didn't care about this, and often sat under the Heavenly Tiger.
Mei Changqing was not at home all the year round, and after he came back, he naturally didn't dare to say anything because he was idle and not serious, so he sat next to Mei Changgui.
Today, for the first time, Mei Xiaoque, Tianlong and Tianhu did not sit down, and pressed Mei Changqing next to Mei Zhongzhong.
Mei Changqing began to excuse himself, and after hearing Mei Xiaoque say that he was a great hero today, he should sit here, so he sat down with peace of mind.
Mei Zhongzhong saw that Mei Changqing heard two good words, and his bones were lighter, and he really felt that he had no eyes to see.
Mei Changqing only felt proud of the spring breeze, he had never been so valued at home in his life, so he was a little fluttering.
However, Mei Xiaotong was directly opposite him, and when he met Mei Xiaotong's smiling eyes, half of the bones that had just floated were gone, and he immediately fell to the ground honestly.
At a meal, everyone was speechless and Kwa Mei Changqing, and even Mei Zhongzhong changed her face after being called into the house by Mrs. Li and muttering for a long time.
Let Tianlong pour himself and Mei Changqing a glass of wine, and the two of them touched a glass together, "I have raised you for so many years, and when I am old, I can see you come out once, and I am happy for you." In the future, I will be honest at home, I will be the father of three children, so I will be more restrained, don't go out and mix ...... again"
The rest of the words were interrupted by Mrs. Li rolling her eyes, "Okay, everyone is happy, just you drank two cups of cat urine, and you can't even speak?" I think it's good that the third child has changed, okay, eat! The third family, don't give your man food, what are you doing stupidly? ”
Wen was told by Mrs. Li, and she still had a smile on her face, but she married into the Mei family, and her face was the brightest day.
Hurriedly agreed, added a bowl of rice to Mei Changqing, and was bold, took the initiative to take a spoon, scooped a few pieces of chicken and piled it on the rice, and handed it to Mei Changqing, "Be in charge, eat quickly!" ”
Since Mei Changqing got married, he hadn't seen Wen so active and attentive for many years, and there was light in his eyes.
was also stunned, took the rice bowl, took two bites, looked up, and saw their children, Xiaoque and Xiaojuan looked at themselves, and the eyes were different from usual.
Seeing Mei Changqing look at it, Xiaoque, who had always ignored him, blushed and took the initiative to speak, "Dad, do you want to drink water?" I'm going to pour it out for you? ”
Saying that, he put down his rice bowl, and Gu Dong ran to pour a bowl of white water and put it in front of Mei Changqing.
Mei Changqing enjoyed the diligence of his wife and daughter, and in that way, Zhou only felt that his teeth were about to sore.
Really, my own man has worked hard for so many years, and the third child has always been idle, and after so many years, he has done such a reliable thing, and he has been praised by others.
But no matter how careful she was, she didn't dare to complain, and Zhou was not stupid, so she could naturally see that this was her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, and she wanted to pick up the third child.
It's stupid, only at this time to touch the moldy head of my mother-in-law and sister-in-law.
So I silently endured the stomach pain and finished dinner.
Packed up, everyone went back to the house.
Mei Changqing sat on the kang, still holding Erlang's legs and picking his teeth, and Wen Shi brought in a basin of hot water, "Master, I'm tired today, burn my feet." ”
Saying that, he squatted down, removed Mei Changqing's shoes, put his feet in the basin, and the hot water gushed up, Mei Changqing's whole body was so comfortable that his bones were soft.
"What's the matter, your man gave you a long face today, and you are willing to give your man a good look?" Mei Changqing has long seen that since the Sun Afu incident, the Wen family and the child have always had opinions about themselves, and they are very cold.
It's been so many days, and now I finally see Wen's smiling face, and I'm also in a relaxed mood, who doesn't want his wife and children to heat the kang head, and look at the faces of his mother-in-law and children every day, if he didn't still feel a little guilty in his heart, he would have turned his face a long time ago.
Wen lowered his head to wash Mei Changqing's feet, and it took a long time to hold back a sentence: "Be in charge, you will take care of it in the future, let's follow the family, you teach us Xiaojuan and Xiaoduo your skills, and the two children will inherit their father's business in the future, as long as the family's business has been done, the two children will not worry." Will we live a good life as a family? ”
Mei Changqing's body stiffened, and he said uncomfortably for a long time, "Now you know your man's ability?" ”
Wen didn't say much, after washing Mei Changqing's feet and washing himself, he saw that the children were asleep, and Mei Changqing also lay on the kang and closed his eyes.
quietly blew out the oil lamp, and only then climbed onto the kang, and was fished into Mei Changqing's arms, and Wen's whole body stiffened.
Mei Changqing hugged Wen's and didn't speak for a long time, and Wen's was about to fall asleep, so he whispered, "No."
It's nothing to do now, so let's stay at home for a while. ”
Wen suddenly became excited, the whole person was awake, covered his mouth, and tears came out, "Master, you are ......"
Mei Changqing turned over angrily, pressed Wen under him, and leaned over with a hot mouth, "Your man gave you a long face today, and you also rewarded your man......"
……
Early the next morning, Mei Xiaotong just got up and went to the stove house to get hot water to wash her face, and before she went in, she heard Zhou's voice, "Oh, brother and sister, you have a really good face today, and you ...... yesterday."
The rest of the words, after seeing Mei Xiaotong, immediately swallowed them, and squeezed out a smiling face, "Little sister is up, is it a face wash, give me ...... quickly"
As he spoke, he snatched the basin in Mei Xiaotong's hand and scooped up hot water.
Mei Xiaotong couldn't help but glance at Wen a little more, not to say no, I don't think that this look, Wen is a little different today, the corners of his eyes are spring, the depression between his eyebrows has dispersed a lot, and the corners of his mouth that have always been pursed are a little upturned today.
Especially the eyes, which are like stagnant water on weekdays, are full of sorrow, but today they look shiny.
Even her hair is combed brighter than usual, and her clothes are rarely changed into new clothes made at home a few days ago, and the indigo clothes are worn on Wen's body, which makes her particularly quiet and gentle.
Mei Xiaotong couldn't help but sigh that for a woman like Wen, the changes brought by a man's struggle and giving her a long face are really huge.
But this is a matter between their husband and wife, and it is naturally not good to say much about being a sister-in-law by herself, as long as the Wen family is willing, who cares?
After taking the washwater scooped by Zhou, Mei Xiaotong thanked him, and when he came out of the stove house, he vaguely heard Zhou's joke about Wen.
After breakfast, I loaded all the mountain goods into the carriage.
Mei Xiaotong and An Huahao are going to the town to deliver goods today, and they told Mei Xiaoque to pay more attention when they receive the goods today, and asked Mei Changqing to collect the mountain goods with Mei Xiaoque every day from today.
