Master and Mrs. are in the prime of life, so why can't they wear them. Du Mei put down Xiaoya, untied her burden, took out dark blue and purple fabrics, draped them on her left and right shoulders, and showed Huang Yiping.

"I'm a waste, where can I wear these good ones!" The fabric glows softly, and you don't need to touch it to know that it is warm and ironed. Huang Yiping only glanced at it, as if he had been pricked by a needle, and looked away.

"Master, you'll be fine, I studied medicine to heal you one day." Du Mei walked over to the bed and whispered.

"Meizi, I have cultivated blessings in several lifetimes, and I will accept you as an apprentice!" Huang Yiping's eyes were wet at Du Mei's words.

"Her father, don't spoil the child's fun!" The little girl brought her mother here, and when the eldest girl saw the situation in the house, she couldn't help but complain about her own man.

"Yes, yes, it's a big holiday, look at how disappointed I am!" Huang Yiping put away his sadness and showed a smile.

"Meizi, don't be angry with your master, he has been taking the medicine you dispensed, his body and bones are much better than usual, you also taught the eldest girl to massage his legs, and now, he just has to stand up and leave, it is inevitable to be anxious." The eldest girl hugged Du Mei affectionately and said.

"Master, I will definitely be able to help Master stand up!" Du Mei shook her thin hand.

"Master believes you! Besides, the life at home is not as good as before, the food is full, the clothes are warm, and it will get better and better. The eldest girl said, but the corners of her eyes were wet.

"Sister Meizi, is this for me?" The little girl tiptoed and struggled to pull the small flower cloth in the baggage.

"Yes, for you and the eldest girl, one person will make a jacket to wear, okay?" Du Mei folded the fabric on her shoulders and took the flower cloth to show the eldest girl.

"This can't be helped, you have already given me and your master a piece of clothing, how can there be a big girl and a little girl?" The eldest girl asked in surprise.

"I bought it when I saw that I liked it, and when I saw that it was cold, both of them had grown a lot taller, and they probably couldn't wear last year's." Du Mei stroked the rose-colored flowers and said with a smile.

"The eldest girl is now working in the grain store, and she has a monthly salary, so you can't ask for it, you can take it back and make clothes for Peach Guizi." The eldest girl resigned again and again.

The little girl didn't understand this, she just liked those pink flowers, and when she saw that the eldest girl resolutely refused to accept it, and pulled and pulled with Dumela, she suddenly cried aggrievedly.

"Master, don't see me, the eldest girl and the little girl are also my sisters." Du Mei said and bent down to pick up the little girl, gently shaking and coaxing her.

The little girl rested her little head on Du Mei's shoulder and sobbed, although there were tears on her face, she immediately stopped crying. The eldest girl and her man glanced at each other, and when they saw this scene, what else could they say, so they had to accept it.

"Let's eat." The big girl came in with a hot meal and said.

"Meizi, you stay here for lunch, just to be reunited with us." The eldest girl said expectantly.

"Okay, I also want to cook the dishes that my mother cooks." Du Mei hugged Xiaoya and sat down, and Xiaoya slid down like a little loach and obediently did it on her little club.

The eldest girl's monthly salary was handed over to her mother for safekeeping, and gradually the family's life improved, in addition to being able to eat enough every day, and occasionally buying some meat for tooth sacrifices.

Because of the festival, the eldest girl cut a good pork belly at Butcher Zhang's house early in the morning, and he gave another stick bone. So what I eat today is braised pork with thick oil red sauce, snow-white stick bone winter melon soup, and scrambled eggs with thunder mushrooms, chili bean curd, and three fresh.

Huang Yiping was still eating crookedly by the bedside, Du Mei brought him vegetables from time to time, and had a happy reunion dinner with their family.

After eating, Du Mei fetched water for Huang Yiping to wash his face and wipe his hands.

"I heard from the eldest girl that there is not much food in the grain store, but is there such a thing?" Huang Yiping saw that his wife and daughter were not around, so he asked.

"It is true." Du Mei nodded, moved the bench and sat down next to the bed.

"What can I do? The grain store has only been in operation for a few days, and it can't be closed. Huang Yiping frowned.

"Master, don't worry, I've already told many farmers that they will just wait for the autumn harvest to open the scales and harvest the grain." Du Mei comforted him.

"It's all because this leg is not angry, otherwise, I can always help you check it, those villagers are ghosts and ghosts, and you will be deceived when the time comes, you are a girl who doesn't understand!" Huang Yiping thumped his leg and sighed.

"Don't be afraid, I don't have Uncle Zhong, besides, there are a lot of people in the grain store, I just have to settle the account and pay." Du Mei smiled, if she could really get the grain, she really had nothing to fear.

"Well, Du Zhong is a good farmer, when the time comes, you let the big girl follow you, and it's always right to be cautious in trading." Huang Yiping admonished.

"This is natural, the big girl is the account room of the grain store." Du Mei laughed.

She accompanied Huang Yiping to talk, and suddenly remembered that her father came back for the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, and their sisters chewed the candy he brought back, snuggled up in his wide arms, and watched him talk to his mother who did needlework. At this time, I recalled that the sunshine of that day was also so lazy, although the days at that time were bitter, but it was the quiet beauty of the full moon and the full people.

"Plum ...... What do you want? Huang Yiping saw that she was suddenly silent, and asked out loud.

"Oh, it's okay, what did Master say?" Du Mei came back to his senses and asked.

"I'm bored at home all day, just blindly worried about your business, afraid that you will suffer." Huang Yiping shook his head and said.

"Master, don't worry, even if the grain can't be spread, I can still go with the big girl to sell food and candy, and I can make you live a good life." Du Mei straightened his waist and said loudly.

She is no longer the timid girl she was at the beginning, she carries the hopes of many people, and no matter how muddy and bumpy the road ahead is, she has the confidence to keep going.

"Master is doing well now, with clothes to wear and food to eat. We don't want to be rich and expensive, we just ask you to be good, and the big girl will do things with you in the future, and your sister and I can rest assured. Huang Yiping patted Du Mei earnestly and said.

"Hmm." Du Mei obediently agreed. She is a little greedy for the father's love that is like a mountain at the moment.

After a while, the three of the eldest girl, mother and daughter also came, and Du Mei accompanied them to talk for a long time, and when she saw the shadow of the sun moving westward, she took her leave and went back.

She carried the fresh lotus root and pomegranate home, and the other one was also for her master, and the rituals always had four things, all auspicious.

The carriage frame was leaning against the wall, the stones were probably gone, the heifer was tethered to the cowshed, and everything was in order in the house.

Xu poked his head out of the kitchen and said with concern, "Have you eaten?" ”

"I ate it, I ate it at Master's house." Du Mei smiled and walked into the kitchen.

The kitchen was filled with the smell of meat, and Xu had killed a big rooster and was simmering it in the pot. In the other pot, there is roasted meat with umeboshi and vegetables. There was also a half-sized silver carp that had been cleaned up on the board.

"Mother, I'll make fish." Dumay rolled up his sleeves.

"Well, I'll wash the vegetables." Xu took off his apron and shook off the fine dust on his body.

"What about Du Tao and Du Gui?" Dume asked.

"Momoko and the children in the village went to the mountains to pick up hairy chestnuts, and Katsura accompanied Komatsu, who is now grown up and naughty, and will fall out of bed if he is not careful." Xu Shi pointed to the big house and said with relief.

Xu Shi carried the basket and went to the river, while Du Mei made fish in sour soup at home.

There are ready-made sour cowpeas and sour bamboo shoots in the jar, and Xu's specially soaked bean sprouts in advance in order to celebrate the festival.

Beheaded, deboned, skinned, sliced diagonally, drizzled with a few drops of soju to remove the smell, and marinated with salt and egg whites. Du Mei skillfully chopped the fish head into small pieces, and together with the fish bones and skin, added ginger slices, sour cowpeas, and sour bamboo shoots and slowly boiled them on a small stove. Just wait for a while when the people are almost there, and then put in the fish fillet and bean sprouts and mushrooms, and then a pot of sour fish soup that is as white as milk will be good.

"It's so fragrant, sister, are you cooking?" Du Tao came back with a bulging cloth bag, and she shouted as soon as she entered the door.

"Look what you have become, hurry up and wash yourself, Uncle Zhong Yu will be here in a while." Xu Shi followed in, and saw that Du Tao was covered with dust, and his hair was also messed up by branches, and frowned.

"Oh." Du Tao hurriedly dropped the bag and fetched water to the next room to take a bath.

The plum vegetables and roasted pork and braised rooster in the pot were all ready, Du Mei washed the pot and scooped the water to cook rice, and steamed two large purple eggplants on the rice pot.

Xu Shi helped Du Tao wipe off his wet hair, and at this time, the sunset burned the sky red, and a round of red sun was about to fall, trembling and hanging on the canopy. At this time, the people who were working in the fields returned home, and the smoke of Dujiagou's cooking was curling, and the aroma of food wafted one after another.

Du Ying drove the ducks back, and the stone led two dry and quiet horses into the door. Du Mei sent Du Tao to invite Du Zhong's father and son to come over for the festival together, and Uncle Zhong Yu is coming today, and there are more people.

Zhong Yu delayed buying gifts, and he hadn't had a holiday for many years, and his heart faded after a long time. Now Du Mei specially came to invite, he is an uncle, it is not good to go empty-handed.

He changed into new clothes and wandered around the street for an afternoon, but he didn't know what to buy, and when he saw that the hour was not early, he finally had to go back to the hospital and wrap two bottles of freshly boiled pear cream, he thought, autumn is dry, even if he doesn't cough, mixed with warm water to drink, it is good.

When Zhong Yu came, there was a dark shadow in the sky, Du Mei was serving vegetables in the kitchen, so as to roast the big rooster, roast the meat with dried plum vegetables, dry stew green beans, stir-fried lotus root slices, cold cucumbers, she patted two cloves of garlic and chopped them, opened the lid and poured them on the steamed eggplant, poured sesame oil and twisted a little salt, and stirred the eggplant with chopsticks.

Finally, there is a pot of steaming, sour and fragrant sour soup fish. The sour taste was so tempting that Du Gui's little mouth was sour.

Du Mei went to the house and got a bottle of soju, which was left over from the last pickled duck eggs.

The stone didn't stick to the wine, Zhong Yu drank lightly, Du Zhong poured a glass and accompanied him to sip it slowly. Everyone else drinks green plum tea.

"Autumn is dry, eat some sour food to quench your thirst." Zhong Yu picked a piece of fish fillet that was so thin that it was transparent to taste, and it was really delicious.

"Uncle Zhong Yu, if you eat this steamed eggplant again, it will melt in your mouth." Du Mei scooped some of them with a spoon.

Because the garlic paste is blanched by the eggplant, it still maintains a strong and spicy taste, and it is wrapped together with the soft and glutinous eggplant, soaked in the aroma of sesame oil, and the entrance is soft and crispy and spicy.
