Chapter 183: Visiting the Neighbors
When Mu Jingchen, who had been boiling cold water for a long time, returned to the bed with a body of water vapor, Mei Yali immediately consciously nestled into Mu Jingchen's arms.
Mu Jingchen hugged her in vain, and didn't dare to get too close to her.
The two people, who were already a little tired because of the toss, soon snuggled up to each other and fell asleep.
Nothing was said all night.
The next day, Mu Jingchen first took Mei Yali to a small restaurant in the town that had a very prosperous business for breakfast, and then the two went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables together, and finally, on the way home, Mei Yali bought two packs of oil horns and two bags of honey from the roadside store.
The oil horn and the honey three knives were both in a pound, and Mayali divided them into two small bags and carried them, ready to carry them to the neighbor's house later.
The old lady who picked up her shovel yesterday is old, and she usually stays on the stone pier at the gate of her house to bask in the sun.
Mu Jingchen and Mei Yali walked back with their things, and she saw the two of them from a distance.
"Tsk, what a rich man, eating such a big fish and meat every day." The old lady muttered in a low voice, but in fact, she was clearly heard by Mu Jingchen and Mei Yali, two guys with sensitive senses.
The two looked at each other for a moment, then decided to pretend they hadn't heard anything.
"Little girl, I'm going to buy groceries again." When they came closer, the old lady immediately raised a smile and talked to them.
Her old face was full of folds and smiles, and some overly enthusiastic smiles made people see at a glance that there was something else and a touch of sourness.
"Hmm. Auntie, how about you bask in the sun? Mei Yali replied with a smile, not in the slightest because of the other party's small abacus and jealousy.
The old lady's eyes burned, giving Mayali the illusion that she was looking through the bag to see what she had bought.
She was a little helpless, but she didn't use her body to block the bag in her hand.
It's not a shameful thing for her to be rich, and she can't sneak around just because other people's eyes are hot.
Sending the things back to her house, Mei Yali went to the old lady's house next door accompanied by Mu Jingchen.
When the old lady saw her carrying two bags of snacks, she was surprised and inevitably inadequate.
But she saw that these two young men had just come back from buying several large bags of things.
What was sent to her house was only two catties of fruit, and the difference was too big!
The old lady pursed her lips, put the fruit into the cabinet, and then didn't even give Mu Jingchen and Mei Yali a glass of water to drink, just sitting, thinking that she was secretly listening to Mu Jingchen and Mei Yali.
She knew that Mu Jingchen was a soldier, and Mu Jingchen didn't like her very much, so she deliberately didn't speak with a serious expression, so this old lady didn't dare to provoke Mu Jingchen, and the object of her speech was Mei Yali most of the time.
However, Mei Yali is not easy to mess with, although she is a woman, and she is still smiling all the time, very easy-going, but this old lady has not been able to get any useful information out of her mouth.
She asked Mei Yali where she was from, and Mei Yali replied "Mongolian District".
She asked Mei Yali if she lived on the grassland, and Mei Yali replied "no".
She continued to ask, and Mayali added another sentence of "mountainous area".
She asked Mei Yali if you have good mountains and rivers and are very rich, and Mei Yali shook her head sincerely and said, "No, it's just a remote mountain village with inconvenient transportation."
In the end, she couldn't hold back, so she directly asked Mei Yali what she did and whether she could make a lot of money, but Mei Yali replied to her with a smile, "I'm studying medicine and not going to work." ”
What she didn't know was that what Mei Yali was best at was misleading people with the truth.
She was indeed born in Mongolia, her hometown is indeed a remote mountain village, and now she is indeed studying medicine with Mr. Jing, and she did not go to work, but she deliberately did not say that her family made some money through the breeding industry, and now she has moved to Y Province in the south to settle down, not to say that she has been able to support herself since high school, and now she has so much money that she can do nothing every day, eat and wait for death.
Mu Jingchen on the side originally didn't like the old lady's greed and spying, but Mei Yali's skillful way of answering made him laugh.
Seeing him shrug his shoulders, Mei Yali was afraid that he would really laugh out loud and ruin his own affairs, so she simply got up and said goodbye.
When the old lady saw this, she hurriedly chased them to the gate of her house, and on the way, she asked Mei Yali two more questions.
One is, "Your family can make a lot of money, right?" Mei Yali replied to her directly, "It's just a poor soldier, just a mess to eat."
The other is "Then you're going to settle in the town in the future?" Mei Yali replied to her, "I don't know yet, it depends on the situation."
Until Mu Jingchen and Mei Yali were sent out of the gate, the old lady was still reluctant to let them go, if it weren't for Mei Yali bluntly saying that she and Mu Jingchen would go to another house, the old lady would have wanted to follow them home.
As soon as the two entered their living room, Mu Jingchen couldn't help but laugh out loud.
finally laughed enough, he straightened up and said to Mei Yali: "Every time I hear you fool people, I think it's very interesting, I just want to laugh but can't laugh, but I suffocate me." ”
Mei Yali squinted at him, "Do you know how to use words?" I call it the art of language! ”
Mu Jingchen laughed again, "You're right, I said the wrong thing." ”
Mei Yali snorted lightly, with a proud face, "Let's go, there is another one." ”
Mu Jingchen then carried the other two bags of fruits on the table and went out with Mei Yali.
What they didn't expect was that the old lady next door actually sat down at the door of her house again, and she also glanced at Mei Yali's house, obviously to see if they were really going to the next door.
Mei Yali was amused and helpless, gave Mu Jingchen a look, and then pulled him to lock the door of another house.
The man who came to the door was a little boy of four or five years old, the little guy was dressed very plainly, and the clothes and shoes looked like they were made by the housewife herself, there was no style to speak of, but it was also clean and generous.
Seeing Mei Yali and Mu Jingchen, the little guy immediately turned his head and shouted into the courtyard, "Mom, the beautiful brother next door came over with a beautiful sister." ”
Mu Jingchen was slightly embarrassed, but Mei Yali couldn't help laughing.
"Come in, come in." The boy's mother came out of the house quickly, and Mayali's eyes were sharp, and almost immediately she saw the thimble she still wore in her hand.
Obviously, before she and Mu Jingchen came in, the woman was doing needlework in her house.
