Zhang Meiyu's mother and son worked all day in the greenhouse, carefully raising the vegetable plot in the garden, and then making out more than a dozen vegetable beds, Mingfang had bought back vegetable seeds, saying that they were planted in a hurry before the year.

After four o'clock, Mingfang came back, and Zhang Meiman parked the carriage at the door to pick up the old lady home. Mingli carried Mrs. Zhang into the car. Mrs. Zhang was homesick for a long time, and when she saw her children coming to pick her up, she was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth.

Zhang Meiyu hurriedly took out a basket and put it in the car. The melon seed candy, firecrackers and millet that Ming Fang bought the day before yesterday were all double, and when I bought them, I planned to ask Mrs. Zhang to go home and take them.

"Man, all the brooms have been sold?" said Mrs. Zhang hurriedly asked her son what she was worried about.

Zhang Meiman couldn't hide the smile on his face, and there were flowers blooming on his wrinkles. He helped the old lady to sit down and patted his pocket: "Mother, it's sold, it's all sold! It's sold for more than 120 yuan! Mother, we're thanks to Fang girl!"

Zhang Meiyu glanced at her daughter with satisfaction when she heard this: "Brother, don't say that, she shouldn't be the one she should be!"

"Oh! My old woman's illness is also thanks to this niece! Hey, I have been blessed in several lifetimes!"

Mrs. Zhang was full of joy, grabbed the basket with both hands, smiled on her face, and left in the carriage.

Seeing off Mrs. Zhang, Zhang Meiyu's mother and son have been busy in the greenhouse until dark. It was easy to make dinner, Mingfang only cooked the stick noodle gruel and cut some shredded pickles. When Zhang Meiman was buying donkey meat in the town to burn, Mingfang asked him to buy a few more, and his uncle had just made money, so he took the opportunity to slaughter him, and also asked his mother and brother to have a good meal. The so-called wealthy, Zhang Meiman saw what Ming Fang meant, and he himself bought ten more fires and took them home for his wife and children to eat. It's called a beauty in his heart!

After dinner, Ming Fang went to Da Ling's house as usual to prick Chunfeng's needle, and she heard about Fang Yuan and Li Honghua. Mingfang was secretly surprised, Fang Yuan has always been steady, and the amount of alcohol is not small, Fang Yuan and Mingli drank together, she had seen it, it was printed with a white porcelain jar that grasped the revolution and promoted production, Fang Yuan drank it dry in a few sips, and then it was okay to drink it again, how could he get drunk and lose his sense of proportion after eating the Li family's meal, and actually slept with Li Honghua?

Fang Yuan didn't mean that much to Li Honghua, Ming Fang really looked at it.

"I really never imagined that this kind of thing would happen, Erqin is not easy to mess with, this crazy woman went to Zhiqing to find Fang Zhiqing in the future, and shouted for him to promise to marry Honghua...... Hey, I heard that Fang Zhiqing is about to return to the city, what can this safflower girl do......" Da Ling continued to gossip.

After pricking the spring breeze, Ming Fang said goodbye and hurried out, only to find that snowflakes had fallen outside. The snow was falling heavily, and the road was already white. Da Ling wanted to send Ming Fang home, but Ming Fang refused, and she ran all the way to Zhiqing Point after turning an alley.

It was snowing heavily and the streets were empty. Ming Fang walked to the Liu family's old house with snowflakes on her head, went up and knocked on the door. I knocked for a long time and there was no response. Ming Fang knew that Fang Yuan must be there, so she shouted: "Brother Fang Yuan, Brother Fang Yuan, open the door!"

She shouted several times, raised her hand and knocked on the door again, and the door slammed open. Fang Yuan stood sluggishly, looking at Ming Fang, his expression was embarrassed: "Xiao Fang, you ...... Why are you here......"

It was freezing cold, and Ming Fang pulled him into the house and closed the door. Seeing Fang Yuan's face haggard and his eyes sunken, Ming Fang helped him sit down: "Brother Fang Yuan, I just heard, what's going on?"

Fang Yuan suddenly held Ming Fang's hand: "Xiao Fang, you believe me, I don't, I definitely don't...... I don't know what happened that night, I can't remember anything......"

Ming Fang turned around and went to the back room, lifted the quilt, glanced at the blue checkered sheets on the bed, and sneered: "Brother Fang Yuan, of course I believe that you didn't do anything...... You haven't changed your sheets, have you?"

"Change the sheets? No...... I'm not in the mood to do anything......" Fang Yuan replied indistinctly, he felt unrefreshed all day today, and had a splitting headache.

"But, don't you have any impression of how Li Honghua got into your bed?"

"No...... When I came out of Li's house, I was so dizzy that I couldn't open my eyes, and I didn't know how I got home...... But I didn't drink much, a total of no more than three taels of wine, presumably Li Honghua took advantage of my drunkenness...... I saw that she had that in mind about me, and I was useless. ”

"So, Brother Fang Yuan, what can you do when you're like that? besides, the sheets are clean, and there is no sign of ......"

"But in the morning we were together naked...... Many people in the village saw it, and Liu Erqin also saw Li Honghua in my place...... I...... Even if I jump into the Yellow River now, I can't wash it away...... Xiao Fang, I'm sorry, I'm sorry for you......" Fang Yuan suddenly grabbed Ming Fang's hand and sobbed.

Ming Fang unexpectedly held Fang Yuan's arm: "Brother Fang Yuan, I think this matter is strange, but you don't have to say sorry to me if you do anything?"

"Xiao Fang, do you know that in my heart, in fact, I ...... in my heart" Fang Yuan suddenly stopped in the middle of speaking.

"With the amount of alcohol you drink on weekdays, it's okay to drink a pound, how can you get drunk and unconscious?" Could it be that you drank fake wine...... Ming Fang said it, and said in her heart, there are still fake wines, fake cigarettes, fake shampoos, fake eggs, ,,, countless fakes on the market these years.

Fang Yuan was extremely distressed and shook his head vigorously, even if he and Li Honghua didn't do anything, but it was a fait accompli that the two of them stripped naked at night and lived in the same room and covered the same quilt, and he couldn't deny it. Liu Erqin came to him again in the afternoon to ask for an explanation, asking him to promise to marry his daughter, anyway, people know that his daughter is with him, if he doesn't marry the red flower, he won't be able to marry......

Mingfang's mind suddenly flashed to the day that she was in the town and saw Li Honghua entering the health center!

Could it be that she went to the health center to have another reputation?

Ming Fang blinked, could it be that the Li family invited Fang Yuan to dinner?

"Brother Fang Yuan, in fact, Li Honghua is very beautiful, her heart and eyes are flexible, you are very good with her......"

"No! I don't want to!" Before Ming Fang finished speaking, Fang Yuan shouted as if he was frightened, and then lowered his head and hugged his head: "Yesterday I rejected Hu Lingling again, I know that Hu Lingling is very painful, she smiled bitterly in her heart, she drank and laughed non-stop...... Maybe, maybe it's retribution, so that I can't ...... with the people I love in this life"

Ming Fang walked up to him, squatted down and stroked his knees, and looked up at him: "No. As long as you don't want to, no one can force you to be with someone you don't love, no matter who she is! Moreover, as long as you are firm, you can be united with the person you love! So, Brother Fang Yuan, you don't have to be so sad at all......

Fang Yuan stared at her good-looking little face, his face was a little bright: "Xiao Fang, really?"

"Really, of course!" Ming Fang straightened up: "Brother Fang Yuan, don't wash your sheets these days, I have my own way to prove your innocence!"

The next day, the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month. As the saying goes, twenty-four families are busy making tofu and cleaning houses. The Zhuang family thought that this day was a good day, made tofu to sweep the house, and prepared for the New Year.

Zhang Meiyu's mother and son had breakfast early, Zhang Meiyu and Mingli deliberately put on shabby clothes, wrapped a towel on their heads, Mingli was busy covering the noodle jar, hall cabinet, pot stove and so on, Zhang Meiyu held a broom tied with a stick and began to sweep the dust on the beams and walls from the east end of the house.

During the Chinese New Year, most households have to make a dish of tofu. The soybeans soaked on the first day were carried with a bucket to the stone mill on the village street to line up, and the soybeans were broken with the stone mill. Then I picked up the people who made tofu in the village, and the tofu workshop was the most busy at this time. The freshly ground tofu is steaming, and a piece is broken off and put in the mouth, the tofu is warm and fragrant, and the face of the person who eats the tofu has a satisfied smile. Say a few New Year's greetings and pick up the tofu and go home.

The Liu family does not have soybeans, so they save the matter of soaking beans and pushing the mills. Zhang Meiyu said that when someone else made tofu, buy a few pieces.

Mingfang told Zhang Meiyu that I had to go to town, Zhang Meiyu didn't plan to ask her to work at all, and told her to come back early. Turning his head, he saw that his daughter had already run away.
