How could Gong give up so easily, and continued to ask, "Yue girl, didn't you see the eldest grandmother, we were going to go when you got married, but we really don't know where you live in Daliang Mountain, don't you go to it, why don't you take the eldest grandmother up the mountain to make up for a gift today?" ”

Mingyue smiled sarcastically and responded, "There are beasts everywhere on this Daliang Mountain, I don't know when they will come out, I don't dare to take my grandmother up the mountain at will, if my grandmother is here to make up the gift money for me." ”

Gong's eyes rolled around, "Oops, I almost forgot, I didn't have any money on me, next time I make up for it, you go back first, I'll make it up next time." With that, he stood on the side of the road and got out of the way.

Mingyue sneered, stopped following Gong's ink, and took the two of them down to Daliang Mountain.

When he walked to the foot of Daliang Mountain, Li Lan said worriedly, "There won't be any beasts on this mountain, right?" ”

Mingyue said with a smile, "Don't worry, this is the periphery of Daliang Mountain, where are so many beasts, our family has lived here for so long, and we haven't seen any beasts, besides, isn't there me." ”

Hearing Mingyue's words, Li Lan was a little relieved, and cautiously followed behind Mingyue and followed up the mountain.

As soon as she arrived near the cave, Mingyue saw her younger brother Mingyang and Minghui Mingkang looking out at the gate of the newly repaired courtyard, and Mingyang saw his sister coming up from the intersection of the mountain, so he waved his hand excitedly, "Sister, sister......

Mingyue walked over quickly, picked up Mingyang, pinched Mingyang's face, and scolded, "What did my sister tell you?" Do not shout loudly in the mountains, lest you invite wild beasts and disobey? ”

Mingyang Pippi smiled, "I'm happy to see my sister." ”

Minghui and Mingkang also followed behind Mingyue, "Sister Yue'er, why did you only come back now, we waited for you all morning." ”

Mingyue smiled and said, "So enthusiastic? Say, what's the matter with me? ”

Ming Kang smiled, "Isn't this waiting for Sister Yue'er to come back and teach us a new boxing technique?" ”

Mingyue saw several children talking around her, and they were still standing at the gate of the courtyard, so she scolded lightly, "Didn't you see any guests?" Hurry up and lead the way in. ”

Immediately, Mingyue turned around and introduced a few children to Li Lan, and asked a few children to call someone, and then took Li Lan into the house.

Li Lan looked at the surroundings of the cave, the fenced yard, and the vegetable patch in the yard, and couldn't help but sigh, "You guys actually built this place like this." ”

Mingyue smiled and said, "It's not bad." ”

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Xu Jinniang and said happily, "Are you back?" Who is this girl? ”

Mingyue introduced Li Lan to her mother-in-law, and each of them greeted each other, and asked Wu Wei to put down the return salute, before asking, "Mother, why are you and a few children at home?" Grandma, what about them? ”

Xu Jinniang said, "I went to dig the foundation." Yue'er, you entertain Miss Li Lan, I'll go cook, and I'll be fine in a while. ”

A few children were still around Mingyue, and Mingyue greeted, "What are you doing around me, a few of you, take Wu Wei to play." Now Mingyue's words are better than his father's words in front of Minghui Mingkang, listening to Mingyue's orders, he took Wu Wei out to play, but Mingyang was relying on Mingyue's body and didn't want to come down.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, the clothes here, the mattress and pants, and the outer dress, have been worn in several layers, plus after such a long time, Mingyue is sweating, and she was going to go to the lake to wash it, but Mingyang relied on herself, so she had to take it with her.

After rummaging through two sets of clean mattresses and pants at home, she took Mingyang and Li Lan and walked out, Xu Jinniang looked at the clothes and pants in Mingyue's hand, and knew what Mingyue was doing, and instructed uneasily, "Be careful, you are not allowed to take Mingyang with you." ”

Mingyue looked at Mingyang who was aggrieved in her arms, "Heard?" Go play with your brothers. ”

put Mingyang down, and Mingyang pouted and went to the yard to find his brothers.

Mingyue pulled Li Lan out of the door, and Li Lan said curiously, "You are still carrying clothes, what are you taking me for?" ”

Mingyue smiled mysteriously, "You'll know when you go." ”

When she arrived at the waterfall and small lake, Li Lan looked at the scenery in front of her and couldn't help but sigh, "Wow, the scenery here is so beautiful!" ”

When she turned her head to look at Mingyue, she saw that Mingyue was undressing, thinking of the mattress and pants that Mingyue was carrying, Li Lan looked at Mingyue in surprise, "You don't want to go into the water, right?" ”

Mingyue took off her outer skirt, smiled at Li Lan, and plunged into the water next to her, startling Li Lan, and then showed her head in the water again, sighing, "It's so cool." He beckoned to Li Lan, "This land is shallow, come down quickly." ”

Li Lan opened her mouth slightly and watched Mingyue swim around in the water, and then she was a little moved, but she still said with some hesitation, "What if, what if there is someone?" ”

Mingyue said with a smile, "Who dares to come up to this Great Liang Mountain?" Don't worry, there won't be anyone, come down. ”

Li Lan was not a timid person, she was a little moved when she saw Mingyue go into the water, and after listening to Mingyue's words, she unceremoniously removed her outer dress and followed Mingyue into the water carefully.

Mingyue taught Li Lan to swim in the water, and the two of them were playing in the water, it was already hot, and it was noon, so they didn't feel cold.

It wasn't until Xu Jinniang came over to call the two of them to eat that the two came out of the water and packed up.

When he entered the courtyard, he saw Ming Wenli also sitting in the house, Ming Wenli saw Ming Yue come in, and greeted him with a smile, "Yue'er is back?" Bring Miss Li over for dinner. ”

Several children and Wu Wei helped Xu Jinniang bring the food to the table, and Mingyang sat next to Ming Wenli, looking at the table in front of him expectantly, only the food on the table in his eyes.

Mingyue took Li Lan to sit down at the table and introduced Li Lan, "This is my fourth uncle." ”

Li Lan has been doing business in the town with her father all the year round, and she is not as twisted as ordinary women, and she has greeted her generously.

Mingyue asked at this time, "Fourth uncle, didn't my mother say that you were digging the foundation?" How did you get back? ”

Ming Wenli smiled and replied, "Then you have to eat, don't you?" I'll come back to get some food, and I'll see if you've come back, how are you doing over there? ”

Mingyue nodded, "It's good, I can't wait for dinner to stretch my hand, the only drawback is that I'm too idle, I'm not used to it, hehe." ”

Xu Jinniang came over with a plate of dishes and interjected, "You girl, you don't know how to be blessed in the midst of blessings." ”

Mingyue naughtily stuck out her tongue at Xu Jinniang, and then turned her head to Mingwenli Zhengse and said, "How did you raise the foundation dug?" ”

Speaking of this, Ming Wenli frowned and said, "Your grandmother has hired a few workers in the village, and the speed is quite fast." ”

Old Man Ming insisted on repairing a big mansion with three entrances and three exits, and Mrs. Ming was very high-profile in the village, so that almost the whole village knew that their Ming family was suddenly rich, and there were people who went to the foundation to discuss and watch all day long, which really made Ming Wenli a little uncomfortable.

Mingyue looked at the expression of the fourth uncle, and then thought of the Gong family who met on the road today, and could guess that now the Ming family is afraid that they have become a well-known nouveau riche in the outer mountain villages.

Mingyue didn't care too much, and she couldn't stop it, so she let them toss it, and said, "It's better to build it earlier, and move to live under the mountain, so everyone can feel at ease." ”

Ming Wenli nodded, didn't speak again, the food was already on the table, Xu Jinniang called the children around the table to make it, and then the meal started.

There are no vegetables, meat and other game, fried wild boar, braised rabbit meat, mushroom stewed pheasant, and a few wild vegetables made of side dishes, a table is also rich, a few children eat gobbling up.

After eating, Xu Jinniang went to clean up the food that Mingwenli was going to take down the mountain, Mingyang dragged Sister Li Lan to the yard to see the rabbit he raised, Mingyue was about to follow, but was stopped by the fourth uncle Mingwenli, and then Mingwenli went to the house, brought out two pheasants and two hares, put them on the ground, and said with a little sadness, "The family didn't prepare a return gift for you, this is what I went to the trap in the morning to collect, when I go back in a while, you can bring it." ”

Mingyue sighed in her heart, she has always been wide-hearted, and she didn't feel anything if she didn't return the gift, so she didn't care, but she made the fourth uncle sad, nodded with a smile on her face, and responded, "Okay, these things are good things in other people's homes, I'll take them back in a while." ”

Xu Jinniang had already packed the food, put it in the two hand baskets, and said to Ming Wenli, "Fourth brother, it's okay." ”

Ming Wenli didn't move, as if he had something to say, and he was a little hesitant.

Mingyue saw it in her eyes and asked suspiciously, "Is there something wrong with the fourth uncle?" ”

Seeing that Xu Jinniang was busy again, Ming Wenli whispered, "Yue'er, Yanmen is recruiting, I want to go and see." ”

"Yanmen Pass?" Mingyue frowned, during this time, she looked through some books of the fourth uncle and her godfather from time to time, and she still had a general understanding of geography, this Yanmen Pass was the only pass that Xianbei wanted to step into Dayan, of course, to get rid of the road that crossed the dangerous Daliang Mountain, which stretched for miles.

"It's not that the fourth uncle doesn't know the current situation, and there may be war at Yanmen Pass at any time."

Ming Wenli sighed, "It is precisely because of this that I want to break through, after reading all these years, I have achieved nothing, and I have no strength, maybe I can take advantage of the war to earn a little bit of military merit." ”

Looking at the expression of the fourth uncle, I am afraid that it was decided by myself, and I didn't discuss it with anyone, Mingyue asked, "Did you tell grandma?" Can they agree? ”

Ming Wenli shook his head, "If you let them know, you will definitely not be able to leave, I want to leave secretly." ”

Mingyue frowned and said, "I think, the fourth uncle should not go for the time being, the family is like this, and the fourth uncle still needs to take care of it, and the fourth uncle should seriously consider it." ”

At this time, Xu Jinniang came here after cleaning up, Mingwenli did not continue the topic, and said to Mingyue, "I will send the food first, and it is estimated that I will return in the evening, so be careful when you go back in the afternoon." With that, he took the basket and left.

Mingyue lowered her head and pondered, why did the fourth uncle suddenly want to be a soldier? Raising her head to look at her mother, Mingyue asked, "Mother, what has happened at home in the past two days?" ”

Xu Jinniang said, "It's nothing." Oh, by the way, your grandmother found a girl for your fourth uncle, the wife and nephew of the village chief, it is said that she is from Yangliu Town, and there is an elder brother in the family who is still a showman. ”

Mingyue said, "That's good! Then he fell silent, and the fourth uncle wanted to leave because he was avoiding getting married? But the fourth uncle is not young, it is indeed time to get married, why do you want to leave? Or does the fourth uncle have a sweetheart and don't want to get married?

"What god is there?" Xu Jinniang's voice disrupted Mingyue's thoughts.

Mingyue retracted her thoughts, but she still planned to ask the fourth uncle what was going on, and stopped guessing by herself.

Xu Jinniang saw that Mingyue came back to her senses and continued, "Don't stay here in a daze, hurry up and go outside to accompany the guests." ”

Mingyue nodded and walked outside.
