An Huahao saw that the Mei family did not avoid himself when discussing this kind of thing, but he couldn't sit still, so he said goodbye very interestingly.

Although Mrs. Li was reluctant, she still picked out the lightest one among several cans of meat sauce and stuffed it to An Huahao, "Take it back and eat it!" ”

An Huahao hurriedly took it with both hands and thanked him, "Thank you, auntie!" ”

Mrs. Li waved her hand, not wanting to talk to him.

When An Huahao went out, Mrs. Li couldn't help but complain, "There are not a few jars of meat sauce, they are all left for your aunt to replenish your body, don't you recruit the An family kid back for me, once he comes, I will have one less jar of meat sauce, where can I stand up to this?" Do you hear that? ”

Especially the last sentence, glaring at Mei Changgui, who didn't know what was going on.

Mei Changgui, who was innocent and lay down on the gun, although he felt that he was very wronged, didn't he invite the An family brothers to come at all?

But my mother said that she was herself! Sullen stand up to make a guarantee.

Mei Xiaotong laughed sullenly on the side.

Outside the wall, An Huahao, who had paused for a moment, heard Mrs. Li's words, and looked at the jar of meat sauce in her hand, is it for Mei Xiaotong to eat?

When she returned home with the meat sauce jar, Song's mother hadn't slept yet, and was eating with an oil lamp.

Now that the An family has been in place, after An Huahao threatened Song's mother last time, the relationship between mother and son has become more and more rusty.

Song's mother only cooks for her own share, and after eating, she either stays in the house and doesn't come out, or she goes out early to go to her mother's house to avoid meeting An Huahao.

And An Huahao didn't seem to find out about Song's mother's evasion, and only left enough food for Song's mother in the stove house, and didn't say much else.

This is the first time the two mothers and sons have met since that threat.

Mother Song was stunned, she didn't find An Huahao's shadow when she got up early this morning, his house was locked, and An Huahao was often away from home for a few days these days, and she was used to it.

I thought An Huahao wouldn't come back today.

Seeing her son come back at this moment, she put down her chopsticks and wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to speak.

I was stunned for a while before asking, "Have you eaten?" ”

On the table was a plate of pickles, a bowl of porridge, and a plate of greens.

An Huahao glanced at it and frowned, "Isn't the food I left for you enough to eat?" Or didn't give you meat? Not to mention anything else, the food he left for Song's mother was more than enough for an adult man to eat, and the family often had game, and every time he went to sell prey, he would remember to leave a rabbit or pheasant for Song's mother to replenish her body.

Looking at the shabby meal on Song's mother's table, the porridge was so clear that you could see the rice at the bottom of the bowl, and the green vegetables were also boiled, without any oil at all.

Mother Song hurriedly shook her head: "Enough, enough!" Enough for me to eat! I've had a bad stomach for the past two days, so eat something light! As soon as he said that, his stomach gurgled.

Mother Song's face was red and then white, and she looked at An Huahao nervously.

Anwar Ho is determined

After looking at Mother Song for a while, she put the small crockpot in her hand on the table, "Eat this, meat sauce!" ”

When the seal of the crockpot was opened, a salty fragrance with the smell of meat came to her nose, which made Song's mother's stomach scream more and more.

Mother Song blushed, sat down with a twist, dug up a chopstick meat sauce and put it in her mouth, and after a pause, she couldn't help but stretch her chopsticks to the meat sauce again.

There are chili peppers in the meat sauce, which is a little spicy, Song's mother drinks medicine all the year round, and her diet is light, and she suddenly eats this, and after a few chopsticks, she feels that her mouth and stomach are burning, and she hurriedly drank a few mouthfuls of porridge and pressed it down.

An Huahao saw that Song's mother was so spicy that her nose was sweating, and she reached out to take the crockpot and seal it.

Mother Song was anxious, "Hua Hao, what are you doing?" ”

An Huahao said, "I see that you can't eat spicy food, so put it away!" ”

"I can't eat it, I can give it to you-" The rest of the words were suddenly seen in An Huahao's eyes

The bottom is silenced.

After a while, he stammered, "Actually, this is actually quite delicious, and my mother likes it too, or you keep it, and my mother will taste a little bit every day......"

Anhua Hao slowly sealed the crockpot, and then said, "My mother is not in good health, and I have to take medicine, this is too spicy and inappropriate." It's because the son doesn't think it through, this son still eats it by himself, lest the mother eat this and the stomach can't stand it! ”

After speaking, he put the crockpot into his arms, and nodded at Song Mu, "Mother, go to bed early!" ”

I turned around and went back to the house.

Mother Song looked at An Huahao's back fixedly, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes......

※※※

On the second day, early in the morning, Mei Xiaotong went to the town with the silver ticket and Mei Changgui and others.

went to the restaurant first, and when the shopkeeper Zheng saw Mei Xiaotong, he smiled, "It's a coincidence!" I was about to find someone to bring you a message, the person who bought your land, I have already inquired, and I have asked someone to tell their family, and their family means to meet your family and then make a decision. You have come at the right time, so as not to delay again! ”

As he spoke, he told the news of the inquiry one by one, which was similar to what An Huahao said.

Mei Xiaotong is naturally grateful.

first booked a table in the restaurant, and then asked the shopkeeper Zheng to invite Wu Zhongbao and Wu Laoqi, saying that they would be invited to the restaurant at noon.

On the one hand, the shopkeeper Zheng instructed the kitchen to make all the good dishes he was good at today, and on the other hand, he instructed people to invite the Wu family father and son.

The father and son of the Wu family were cheerful, and they didn't delay long to arrive.

The shopkeeper Zheng was downstairs, and when he saw the Wu family father and son, he greeted the two of them upstairs to the private room.

Mei Xiaotong heard the movement and immediately went to the staircase to greet her.

The father and son of the Wu family were stunned when they saw the Mei family, especially Mei Xiaotong, who was the first to take the lead.

Mei Xiaotong only didn't see it, and smiled slightly and saluted the two of them first.

Wu Laoqi is about 50 years old, slightly fat, and wears a brown and purple cocoon silk

's flower robe, the body is more and more rich and round.

Wu Zhongbao is about thirty years old, burly, with a dark face, a pair of eyebrows are about to fly out of the range of his face, although he is wearing a cyan straight shirt, he doesn't look bookish at all, but he looks like a martial artist.

Especially with a glare of eyebrows and a straight eye, you can scare a child who cries within a mile of life.

Even Tianlong and Tianhu, the two half-sized men, couldn't help but swallow their saliva when they saw Wu Zhongbao.

welcomed people into the private room, everyone sat down as guests, and the young man quickly brought tea.

Shopkeeper Zheng introduced the two sides again, and Mei Xiaotong took Mei Changgui, Tianlong, and Tianhu to greet Wu Laoqi, and called him uncle.

After just a few greetings, Mei Xiaotong motioned for the food to be served, and explained that she didn't know what the taste of the Wu family father and son was, so she had to bear with me.

The attitude is very polite and polite.

The dishes came up quickly, and it was the most expensive banquet in the restaurant today, not to mention the chicken, duck and fish, as well as the wolf jerky that Mei Xiaotong was most familiar with, which was also served.

When Wu Lao Qi saw the wolf jerky, his face that had been stiff relaxed a little, and he joked with a little dissatisfaction, "Good old Wu, I went to your restaurant two days ago to eat wolf jerky, and you said no." Why is there another one today? Is this looking down on me? Are you afraid that I won't be able to pay for it? ”

Shopkeeper Zheng snorted, "Brother Wu is telling jokes again!" This wolf jerky is indeed gone! This is what my eldest niece brought from home, and I thought to myself, brother, don't you like to eat this, so I ordered the kitchen to make it, and brought it to me, so I tried it-"

Wu Laoqi unceremoniously stretched out his chopsticks and grabbed the wolf jerky, chewed it in his mouth for a while, and his expression slowed down a little, "It's this taste!" But how does this little girl bring wolf jerky and the taste of your family? You're not fooling me, are you? ”

"Look at what you said, Brother Wu, this wolf jerky in my house was originally made by my eldest niece's family, can it not be a taste?" Shopkeeper Zheng hurriedly explained.

Wu Laoqi looked at Mei Xiaotong, nodded, and didn't speak, only ate dried meat with his head bored, and rarely used chopsticks for other dishes, it seemed that he really liked this.

Mei Xiaotong has a lot of eyesight, and immediately smiled and poured a glass of wine for both Wu Laoqi and Zheng Shopkeeper, "If Uncle Wu likes this, I don't have a lot of family, and there is a look of one or two catties, and I will send it to my uncle tomorrow!" I also have a meat sauce made of wolf meat at home, which is more delicious than this, and it is eaten with pancakes and steamed buns, which is really not changed for a roast chicken! ”

After saying that, Wu Lao took a sip of wine, and took another chopstick jerky, and didn't say yes, nor did he say no.

Wu Zhongbao on the side is also interested in wolf jerky, but he can't stand his father's appearance of protecting food, who dares to rob him, but he is afraid that his own son will not want it.

I had to eat two mouthfuls of food without taste, and finally I couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "You want to redeem the Mei family's land?" ”

“

cough cough ......" Wu Laoqi on the side was choked on a sip of wine and coughed.

I couldn't stop glaring at my son.

Wu Zhongbao was as angry as if he hadn't seen it, so angry that Wu Laoqi bit the dried meat and let out his anger.

"Yes, this land has been passed down from generation to generation by our Mei family, when it was sold, my father was so angry that he vomited blood, suffered a stroke and lay in bed, and now he has not recovered. Now that our family has finally scraped together some silver, we naturally want to redeem this land, so that my father can get rid of his heart disease. lest he sigh in his parents every day, and he will not have the face to see his ancestors and ancestors when he dies in the future! Mei Xiaotong talked about Mei Zhongzhong, showing a sad face, it seems that she is really a filial daughter who is worried about her father and mother at home.

Wu Zhongbao's eyes were a little softer, and his attitude was a little more correct, "Do you know that when Mei Changan sold this land to me, there was one condition?" ”

Mei Xiaotong's heart tightened, and her face remained unchanged, "I don't know, what are the conditions?" ”

"You can't resell it for three years!" Wu Zhongbao replied very simply.

As soon as these words came out, not only Mei Xiaotong was furious in her heart, but Mei Changgui, Tianlong, and Tianhu couldn't control the anger on their faces at all, if Mei Xiaotong hadn't swept over at a glance, I was afraid that they would have a seizure on the spot.

It's too low! Mei Xiaotong couldn't help but grit her teeth!

Mei Changan, is this going to completely force the Mei family to death?

The more angry she was in her heart, the calmer Mei Xiaotong became, "Then Uncle Wu and Brother Wu agreed to come today, are they intending?" ”

If Mei Changan was promised that he could not resell it for three years, why did the Wu family father and son agree to come to see the Mei family today?

"He said to him, why should labor and management listen to him? Is a stinky show amazing? I said at the time, as long as this land is sold to me, it will be my family's land, and what is the matter with his surname Wang? Do you still take care of my Wu family's affairs? Love to sell, don't sell! ”

Speaking of this, Wu Zhongbao paused, and seemed to smile, "Then Mei Chang'an is also a non-planted, and when labor and management say this, he doesn't even dare to let go of a fart, obediently apologize to labor and management, and get out of the way with the money!" ”

When Mei Xiaotong heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief, got up and saluted Wu Zhongbao, "Today, whether Uncle Wu and Brother Wu agree or not, we will redeem the land, I thank Brother Wu!" If nothing else, just for Brother Wu's words! ”

Wu Zhongbao played with the wine glass in his hand, but smiled, "You girl is a little interesting!" It's really not like Mei Changan's hypocrite's sister. I scolded you Mei family, and you still thank me? Where did Xie come from? ”

"The Mei family has broken off with Mei Chang'an'en! The Mei family doesn't have such a crazy son! I thank Brother Wu, thank you for not agreeing to his conditions because he is a showman! For today's Mei family, Mei Changan is not a relative, but an enemy! The enemy of the enemy is the friend. Naturally, we also want to thank you, at least we are on the same side. ”

"Interesting! Okay, how much are you going to spend on this land? Wu Zhongbao tasted what Mei Xiaotong said and smiled

After that, I asked cheerfully.

Wu Laoqi next to him couldn't hold back any longer, and slapped the table, "You Laozi, I'm not dead yet, why don't you call the shots without asking?" When Lao Tzu is dead! How many fields are there, more than ten acres, you can sell them if you say so? You loser, do you know that you Lao Tzu and I can save so much land, is it easy for me? Are you still selling outside? Are you going to be angry with Lao Tzu? ”

Frightened, Mei Changgui, Tianlong, and Tianhu jumped, and when they heard Wu Laoqi's words, they were all immediately discouraged, is this disagree?

Shopkeeper Zheng was busy persuading, "Brother Wu, eliminate the gas, eliminate the gas!" ”

It was Wu Zhongbao, taking advantage of Wu Lao's inattention, to steal a chopstick jerky, put it in his mouth, and chewed it while replying, "There is so much land at home, what do you want to do with these more than ten acres?" The place is far away and remote, and you can also see the fields in this kind of place? You're really not picky! Those fields, even if they produce grain, you have to hire people, and you have to haul the grain back, and you have to ask people to watch it, isn't that money? For the sake of those three melons and two dates, are you concerned? ”

Wu Laoqi protected the jerky plate while blowing his beard and glaring at his eyes, "Nonsense!" Can you give Lao Tzu another steal to eat? See Lao Tzu doesn't break your legs! ”

The two fathers and sons quarreled in front of people, and Mei Changgui, Tianlong, and Tianhu trembled when they heard it.

However, the shopkeeper Zheng sat on the side and didn't persuade him, so he just drank and didn't speak.

Mei Xiaotong is not in a hurry, she will pour a glass of wine for Wu Laoqi for a while, let him moisten his throat and scold again, and then give Wu Zhongbao a refill of a glass to let him stop cowardly.

However, after the two fathers and sons quarreled with each other for a long time, they suddenly glanced at each other and stopped arguing.

Wu Laoqi pointed to his wine glass, "Pour wine." Motioned to Mei Xiaotong to pour him wine.

Mei Xiaotong was full of sloppiness.

Wu Laoqi drank it dry in one go, pinched the few remaining dried meat on the plate with his hands, staggered up to leave, walked to the door, and did not forget to turn around, "The promised wolf jerky will be sent as soon as possible!" ”

"Alas! You can rest assured! Mei Xiaotong was stunned for a moment, immediately came back to her senses, and replied very cheerfully.

Wu Laoqi shook his head and went downstairs to leave.

Mei Changgui, Tianhu and Tianlong were dumbfounded, "Little sister, this ......"

This old man Wu is gone, what should they do?

When the father is gone, isn't the son still there?

As soon as Wu Laoqi left, Wu Zhongbao immediately became active, and immediately came to Mei Xiaotong's side, "Mei sister, I have heard, you killed more than a dozen wolves on the mountain alone?" This wolf jerky is made from the wolf meat you killed? ”

Mei Xiaotong was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding where Wu Zhongbao heard the news, but nodded honestly.

"That's a good feeling! Look, when are you free, take me with you when you go up the mountain to fight wolves? Wu Zhongbao looked at Mei Xiaotong with sparkling eyes.

Mei Xiaotong was looked at with such a pleading look by such a big man with horizontal eyebrows and vertical eyes,

I almost couldn't hold it.

It hurts the eyes so much.

But for the sake of his own ten acres of land, even if Wu Zhongbao said that he was going to fight tigers, he had to agree.

Nodding his head, "Okay!" When autumn comes, when we enter the mountains, we will bring you a letter! ”

"Good, good! It's a deal! Wu Zhongbao slapped his thigh happily, took out something from his arms, and put it on the table.

Mei Xiaotong looked at it, isn't it what the title deed is?

"The Mei sister is happy, and I'm also happy! This is the title deed that Mei Changan resold to me, I gave him one hundred and twenty taels of silver at the beginning, and today, you give me one hundred and twenty taels of silver, and I will write a deed of assignment for you, and then go to the yamen to transfer this field back to your Mei family. "Wu Zhongbao is really a refreshing person.

"Thank you, Brother Wu! Brother Wu's kindness, our Mei family has taken it to heart, if there is a need for our Mei family in the future, just say it. Mei Xiaotong really didn't expect that the redemption of the land would go so smoothly.

Wu Zhongbao waved his hand with a big grin: "Don't thank you either!" I'm not going to deal with Mei Changan from the first time I meet, what he doesn't want to do, I'm definitely willing! As for you, I'm used to working against Mei Changan! If you really think that I, Wu Zhongbao, am still a good person, don't forget me when you go up the mountain to fight wolves in the future! ”

Mei Xiaotong remembered Wu Laoqi's attitude, but she was afraid that this price would go back, Wu Laoqi was not happy, "At this price, Mei Changan was in a hurry to get rid of it, so he only sold it for one hundred and twenty taels of silver, Brother Wu, it is already a great favor for you to let me redeem it, if we let us redeem it at the original price, I am afraid that Uncle Wu will not be able to explain——"

The silver in his hand now is enough, Wu Zhongbao agrees to redeem it is a big favor, and he is also hearty and palatable, the Wu family is also the head snake of Shiqiao Town, the largest landlord, for dozens of taels of silver, it is not appropriate to offend them, it is better to make friends.

"Don't worry! My dad is actually the most soft-hearted! Our father and son said before they came today, let's take a look at the people of your Mei family, if it is pleasing to the eye, let you redeem the original price of the land and buy it back, if it is not pleasing to the eye, you will not sell it for any amount of money! ”

"As soon as the news came out that Mei Changan was stealing the land deed and selling it, my father said that it was not authentic! A dozen acres of land is nothing to our family, but to your family, it is all the belongings! Later, when I heard that something had happened to your family, my father became more and more uneasy. Didn't you see that although our family bought your land, they never sent anyone to Lingshan Village to look for you, right? ”
