Later, when Xu saw that Du Mei had returned, and heard that he would stay at home for one night, he was naturally very happy, and was busy making delicious food, and there was a knife of pork belly in the kitchen, and Xu Shi only felt that it was not enough, so he hurriedly sent Du Tao and Du Gui to the village to buy another fish from the people who were used to catching fish.

Du Mei ran around for most of the day, washed her hands and cleaned her face by the well, sat down to drink a glass of sugar water soaked by Xu's, and squinted comfortably for a while.

When Du Mei went out and walked to Yixue, there was no school yet, Sanjin was leading the boys to shake their heads and recite the book, and when Du Mei suddenly came, he hurriedly greeted her with a smile and let her in.

"Uncle Scrap Manuscript, how are you doing in Yixue these days?" Du Mei sat down with a smile and asked.

"Okay, although these dolls are not all smart, but we have opened a lot of practical classes, and it is also helpful to them, not long ago, Xiao Chun picked a Ganoderma lucidum on Shewu Mountain, saying that it was sold at a good price in Yujitang, and his mother was proud for a few days." The scrap manuscript made Du Mei a cup of tea and said with a smile.

"Aunt Zhang has always been a baby Tsubaki, and this time she has fulfilled her wish, and she is happy." Du Mei listened and smiled shallowly.

"You went to Gangneung City, and it's rare to come back, so you won't come here just to ask about this." The manuscript sat back in his chair and asked suspiciously.

"The Mei Ji Restaurant in Jiangling City is about to open, and I want to ask Uncle Scrap to calculate a good day." Du Mei said generously.

"How many days have you been there? Have you all taken down the restaurant? The scrapped manuscript's eyes widened in shock for a moment.

"It's all friends who help and contribute, and what I say sounds like the owner, but it's just an escrow." Dujiagou is full of mouths, and Du Mei doesn't want to show her bottom here.

"There haven't been any particularly good days recently, but Xiaoman's day is not bad, it's a double day, and the meaning is good." I found an old book and pinched my fingers to calculate it.

"Thank you, Uncle Scrap Manuscript, that's the day, the flowers are blooming and decaying, and the moon is full and losing, everything should not be too demanding and complete, Xiaoman is just right, I think the restaurant will be like the crops in the field in the future, thrive, and become more and more abundant." Du Mei thought about it, and in the dark, Xiaoman was indeed more in line with her expectations for the future of the restaurant.

"What is there to thank for this, but with a gesture, you have done a prosperous business outside, and we feel that there is light on our faces when we listen to it!" Scrap closed the book and said with a smile.

"It's going to be summer grain harvest after a while, and you can't do the work in the fields, so let Uncle Zhong bring someone to help you, don't be polite." Du Mei drank his tea and got up to leave.

"Thank you so much." The scrap manuscript stood up and sent her to the door, he was worried about collecting summer grain these days and no one helped him, and he was naturally very happy to hear Du Mei say this at this time.

"Since you have chosen a date for the restaurant, when it opens, you will come." Dumay looked back at him.

"Jiangling City is not as good as Qinghe County, there is too much delay on the road, there are only me and your third uncle in Yixue, it is not good to let him suffer alone, besides, if you invite me, but don't invite him, he can't get over it, so I still don't go." The scrap manuscript groaned.

"It's fine." Du Mei didn't force it, she knew that the scrapped manuscript and Sanjin were very close to each other, and he didn't want to have an estrangement with Sanjin because he went to eat the wedding wine she opened, which was also reasonable.

Out of the righteous school, it is already evening, the sun is west, the sunset on the horizon is burned red, reflecting half of the mountains, Ambilight, walking on the way home, meet from the field hoe home

The villagers, both men and women, greeted her warmly when they saw Du Mei.

Du Mei smiled and greeted them, walked all the way, turned the corner of the house, and saw a man in front of him pulling a cart full of bricks, because it was uphill, his waist was almost prostrate on the ground, and his feet were even more staggering, almost using all his strength to drag the cart, at this time, even a small pebble loose on the side of the road could trip him and even the car and fall.

Seeing this critical situation, Du Mei couldn't help but say, took a few steps, bent down and put his hands on the back of the cart, and helped push forward.

With her help, the man in front struggled and finally pulled the cart onto the flat road.

"Thank you." The man in front stopped the carriage, lifted the cotton towel hanging around his neck to wipe his sweat, and turned his head to thank him.

"Uncle?" Because Dajin has been dragging bricks, Du Mei only saw that it was him at this time.

"Meizi, you'll be back today." Dajin saw that it was Du Mei, and he was stunned, that day Zhou made a fuss in front of the door of the second courtyard for credit grain, and at this time Du Mei helped him regardless of his previous suspicions, his face instantly turned red, and he was embarrassed.

"Well, just arrived." Du Mei looked at the white hair that came out of Dajin's temples, and was in a trance for a while.

"Meizi, you are a sensible child, don't worry about your aunt, since she left home with a bolt, she still doesn't know whether she is alive or dead, there is no news, she is not happy in her heart, and even her temper is getting worse and worse." Daikin whispered to Dume as he explained.

"I ......" Du Mei had the heart to tell Dajin that she saw Du Xuan in Jiangling City, but after thinking about it, if she told Dajin that Du Xuan was doing an unseemly deed now, wouldn't the uncle be even more embarrassed, so she swallowed her words.

"Hey, you should be angry, it's just that we are blood relatives who have broken bones and tendons, and Du Zhu is going to marry in the second half of the year, you must come." Dajin thought that Du Mei's hesitation was unwilling to forgive, so he had to sigh and talk about Du Zhu's marriage, wanting to ease the conflict between the two families.

"I'll ...... when I arrive" The three cousins of Dafang are all of the same virtue as their mother, Du Mei didn't want to have anything to do with them, she was about to refuse, but was interrupted by a woman's sharp voice.

"The house is waiting for bricks, you elm pimple has the leisure to chat with your eldest niece, does she want to honor you with the gold and silver she earns!" Zhou crossed the waist of the bucket, raised his eyebrows, and shouted impatiently.

"What's the name of the ghost, such a big slope, you don't say to help me, fortunately, Meizi can't see it, and pushed it, you crazy woman, you don't allow people to stop talking!" Da Jin complained on his mouth, but he hurriedly put the strap on his shoulder, bent down to pull up the cart, and walked away with difficulty.

Du Mei stopped where he was, watching him walk slowly and prostrately, Zhou saw Dajin say this, looked at Du Mei, didn't say anything, didn't come to help Dajin, shook his hand and went back to his own courtyard.

Du Mei passed by the courtyard of the big house, the door was half open, and she glanced at it, and the bricks and sand in the courtyard were piled up, obviously building a house.

Back at home, Xu's had already prepared a hot dinner, there was a table in the courtyard, there were a few small sticks, there were dishes on the table, it was still steaming, Du Tao and Du Gui were sitting with juniper, obviously waiting for Du Mei.

"Mother, I'm back." Du Mei fetched water at the well and washed his hands and called into the kitchen.

"Sister, you give it to me

Let's talk about it, is the business in the imperial city good? The family sat down to eat, Du Tao bit his chopsticks and asked with shining eyes.

"Side, I don't know, only the business of our delicatessen is good, if it weren't for your second sister to help, I wouldn't be able to come back, and in a few days the restaurant will open, I really won't be able to leave." Du Mei took a bite of the steamed bun, and took some spiced radish strips to eat, and ate the corn porridge, which was soft and glutinous and sweet.

"Did you choose a date for you?" Xu Shi brought a piece of braised fish to Du Mei and asked.

"Well, it's settled, Xiaoman." Du Mei nodded in response.

"It's a good day, if it's a little later, the field will be in a hurry to harvest in summer and autumn, and there will be fewer people who can go to give you a lively time." Xu saw that Du Mei only ate crunchy radish strips, and gave her a piece of pork belly.

"Mother, you bring the three of them a day in advance, Jiangling City is very prosperous, I'll take you around." Du Mei stuffs the pork belly in his mouth, and when he takes a sip, the sauce is rich and melts in his mouth.

"This and that? There was no one at home for two or three days, and the hungry chickens and ducks had to kill the villagers. Xu waved his hand again and again to refuse.

"It's good to let Aunt Fang help feed it for a few days, I told her Ming'er that she will definitely be happy." Du Mei reached out and grabbed Xu's arm and shook it coquettishly.

"Mother, you just agree." Du Tao and Du Gui begged in unison, the two little girls didn't want to go to Jiangling City to take a look, and when they talked about it in front of the village friends in the future, it was also a matter of pride.

"I'm going to eat duck duck too, Komatsu hasn't eaten it yet." Juniper threw himself into Xu's arms and said pitifully with a little face.

"Okay, okay, just go, you kids, it's so good to toss." Xu couldn't be entangled, so he had to agree.

In the evening, the family washed up and gathered in Xu's room, Xiao Song took off his coat and crawled around on the bed.

Xu took out a pale cyan satin skirt from the cupboard, and saw that the skirt was embroidered with flying flaming red pomegranate flowers, and occasionally butterflies fluttered or stopped, in different postures, interspersed, and the placket and cuffs were embroidered with intricate twig patterns with cyan silk threads.

"Meizi come and try this, the opening day of the restaurant is always festive." Xu held up her skirt and gestured on Du Mei's body.

"Mother, how many nights have you stayed up to do this?" Du Mei stroked those gorgeous flowers carefully, her eyes were wet, and she couldn't bear to say.

There are more than 100 pomegranate flowers on the skirt, from the flower bones to the bloom, but the posture of each one is different, and the red silk thread used is also slightly different.

"I didn't stay up late, I don't let the ducks go now, I have Du Tao and Du Gui at home, and I have a lot of free time during the day." Xu shook his head again and again and denied it.

"Sister, try it!" Du Gui said excitedly.

"Our sister is a beauty, she looks good in anything!" Du Tao coaxed Juniper and said with a smile.

Du Mei pulled the skirt to her own room to change, after a while, a dignified atmosphere, noble and beautiful girl walked out, her footsteps moved lightly, the skirt on the flowers and butterflies seemed to come alive in the dark, the fiery red pomegranate flowers were spit out, and the butterflies outlined by silver threads flew around her.
