Chapter 35: The Great Joy of Lao Mei's Family (Added to the Recommendation~)
Cheng Yufeng was very surprised, and hurriedly took a few steps forward to greet the little girl, "Yo! Yali, is this still remembering me? β
There was a momentary pause in Mei Yali's forward stepsβjujube cake, and she forgot that she was now a little fart child who turned her face and forgot about it.
But it doesn't matter, she can still use the self-black Dafa to fool around.
"Cakes, delicious." The little girl with a pink and tender voice is sparkling, the mouth at the corner of her mouth is crystal clear, and a pair of big black and moist eyes are staring at the three carriages tightly.
She Yufen was full of black lines, "How can she remember you, she is a gluttonous worm and came out to make trouble again!" β
Cheng Yufeng laughed, "Then my niece's memory is good enough." β
As he spoke, he dragged a big bag out of the carriage, "Biscuits, jujube cakes, honey cakes, mung bean cakes, chestnut cakes, hurry up and bring them to my little niece to taste." β
He first handed the package to Mei Zhijun to hold, and then stretched out his hand to pick up Mei Yali, who was looking up at him and Mei Zhijun.
"You just get used to her." She Yufen looked helpless, "Your brother-in-law was originally a daughter slave, and you, as an uncle, still spoil her like a baby, and you are not afraid of spoiling her." β
Cheng Yufeng smiled slyly, "It's not up to me to spoil or not." I am an uncle, I only care about pets, I don't care about teaching. If you want to take care of the children, how to take care of the children, eldest sister, you have to figure it out yourself. β
The three of them talked and laughed into the house, and Mei Zhijun immediately took the pastries brought by Cheng Yufeng and gave them to Mei Yali to eat.
Mei Yali first took a piece of jujube cake and savored it in her hand.
The pastries of this era are far less delicate and delicious than those of later generations, but they are made of pure natural ingredients without any chemical additives, and the pure deliciousness makes people who eat them more assured.
So, although these things don't look very good, Mei Yali still eats very happily.
She ate slowly in small bites, until Cheng Yufeng followed Mei Zhijun and She Yufen to move the rabbit cage, and then she stuffed the last small piece of jujube cake into her mouth and continued to be a follower.

After entering Layue, Lao Mei's family ushered in a great joy - Mei Zhijun's twin brother Mei Zhizhong was getting married.
The author of the previous article has already said that because of the poverty of the family and Zhao Huiying's pungency, the three sons are not easy to talk about daughters-in-law.
Mei Zhizhong, as the eldest of this family, Mei Zhijun's children are already one and a half years old, and his marriage has only been decided, which is already a strange thing in this era and in the area where the Mei family lives.
If it weren't for the fact that his age and Mei Zhijun should be considered the same age, and the daughter-in-law he was looking for was not from Heigang Township, he didn't know anything about their family, and it really didn't matter if he could make this marriage.
No, the wedding date must be down, so Mei Zhizhong hurriedly sent a letter to his family.
Although Mei Zhijun didn't want to see Zhao Huiying's appearance that she didn't do anything for Mei Zhizhong, she licked her face without a weak heart, and the village bragged about how she was angry and how she dumped her eldest son to a good place, but Mei Zhizhong, who had the best relationship with him among the brothers and sisters, was able to set up a marriage, and Mei Zhijun was still more happy than angry in the end.
"Let Yali and her grandmother come and help us watch the door for a few days, and our family of three will go to give her uncle a show." On the night he received the news, Mei Zhijun sat under the lamp and discussed with She Yufen.
She Yufen didn't hear Mei Zhijun tell her about Mei Zhizhong, after she got married, the two met a few times, and Mei Zhizhong left a completely different impression on her from Mei Zhiming and Mei Zhifeng, so when she heard Mei Zhijun say this, She Yufen didn't hesitate at all, but immediately nodded and responded.
"One more thing." Mei Zhijun hesitated and hesitated, but finally said what he thought in his heart, "I want to steal some money to Yali and her uncle." β
She Yufen was a little confused.
They went to the wedding, just with the ceremony, the relationship is good, just follow more, why does her man have to give money secretly, what kind of road is this?
Mei Zhijun gritted his teeth, broke and crushed the most unspeakable concerns in his heart, and told his daughter-in-law little by little, "Don't you know who Yali's grandmother is?" She said that she had given a bride price, and that her clothes and bedding had been folded into money, but I didn't believe a word. If I'm not mistaken, the bride price should have been saved by Yali's uncle's own salary, and as for the money for clothes and bedding, it would be purely her grandmother's nonsense. β
She Yufen's face was black.
Mei Zhijun's words evoked her memories of some strange events.
Before she and Mei Zhijun got married, She Fenggang persuaded her not to marry Mei Zhijun.
It's not that Mei Zhijun is not a bad person, but She Fenggang doesn't want his daughter to be tortured by Zhao Huiying.
What did Zhao Huiying say at that time?
"I certainly can't treat others the same way I do to my daughter-in-law."
It's not the same, indeed.
She treats her daughter-in-law more than she treats others.
The various tribulations after marriage will not be described here, only the monetary aspects.
The bride price given by the old Mei family to the She family was all saved by Mei Zhijun's own salary.
Zhao Huiying, the head of the family who manages the family's money, not only did not contribute a penny, but also made a lot of money on his son's marriage.
When Mei Zhijun paid for her to receive gift money, this matter has been said before, now let's talk about something fresher.
Before getting married, Mei Zhijun asked her to help make two new bedding and two new pillows, and she promised to do it well, but when she did it, she secretly left half of the fabric and cotton for herself.
It wasn't until Mei Zhijun and She Yufen got married, and the two were going to use new pillows and new bedding, that Mei Zhijun found out that the bedding made by Zhao Huiying was thinner, narrower, and shorter than that made by Wang Xiulan!
Mei Zhijun is so angry!
In the end, it was She Yufen's kind words to appease Mei Zhijun, who was on the verge of going berserk, and didn't let him get into trouble with his wife as soon as he married his daughter-in-law.
But when Zhao Huiying unabashedly took out the fabrics and cotton she had withheld and sewed a normal set of new bedding, Mei Zhijun still couldn't help but question her once.
Of course, Zhao Huiying would not admit that she took these things out of Mei Zhijun's hands, not only did she not admit it, but she also scolded Mei Zhijun and She Yufen.
She has such a criminal record, so it is no wonder that Mei Zhijun does not believe that she will give Mei Zhizhong any bride price, clothes and bedding money.
"Our family is not rich, so I plan to give him two hundred. As for the gift, twenty dollars is enough. Mei Zhijun was quite lacking in confidence, and his eyes when he looked at She Yufen were also full of weakness.
