"But, but today my mother left me and my sister behind." Xie Yu wrinkled his nose and said aggrievedly.

"Mother, today I'm going to buy something delicious for our family, you see!" As she spoke, Meng Yu took out the packaged food from behind him.

Xie Yu sniffed and twisted his head: "I'm not rare." ”

"Haha, my baby is not rare. The mother threw it away. ”

"Don't, my mother is so fragrant. I've never eaten it before! Xie Yu snatched it from Mengyu's hand. Prevent your own mother from wasting such a good thing.

Meng Yu looked at Xie Yu, who was protecting food, and felt a little pained. It's just some chicken, duck and fish, but the explanation seems to have never eaten it. The so-called dragon and phoenix soup is just stewed with pheasants and snakes.

"Come, Xie Yu and his mother will go back first. There will be a lot of delicious food waiting for the explanation. Mengyu took advantage of the situation and picked up the explanation.

Xie Yu arched in Mengyu's arms, and had the experience of the first few times. It doesn't seem to be so resistant. Instead, there is some attachment.

"Dad, I'm worried about you." Meng Yu looked at the old man Wang who was standing and looking at him, and his heart softened a little.

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back. Go back and wash your face first, and the village chief will be ready in a while! ”

"Well, then I'll go wash my face first." Meng Yu hugged Xie Yu and returned to the ancestral hall.

"Everyone, be quiet, be quiet." The village chief stood on the stone steps and shouted at the top of his voice.

The originally noisy venue slowly quieted down. The smiles on everyone's faces couldn't be hidden.

"It's been a great year. Everyone has a good harvest in the field, plus the wild things provided by Tian, the third daughter-in-law of the Wang family. So this year's celebration banquet can be said to be unprecedentedly rich. Let's eat as much as you want! ”

"Ou~" After the village chief finished speaking, the villagers couldn't help cheering.

The whole village was cheering and partying around the campfire.

Except for the Zhao family, who was specially allowed to participate in the feast. Covering his head and gnawing on a rabbit leg in his hand, he was still cursing Mengyu in his heart.

It's only been two or three days, and it's not just a brick house. If you don't have forty or fifty taels, you can't get up. And the set of wooden furniture I saw when I just came out of the ancestral shrine was impossible to buy for each of the ten or twenty taels. After asking someone he knew, he learned that it was also bought by Old Man Wang with money.

But when the family was separated, it was clearly written in black and white, and the money was to be kept for himself.

In a few days, even if you steal, you may not be able to steal so many silver taels.

The more Zhao thought about it, the more suspicious he became. This must be the money that the two old men secretly hidden. Isn't it just for so much money? A vicious idea slowly came to Zhao's mind.

Meng Yu looked at a group of people singing and dancing. Especially children, they are not happy to chase each other with food in their hands.

Adult men are gathered together, drinking bowl after bowl of crude wine, and boasting to each other.

The women gathered in groups of three or five and whispered. From time to time, there was a burst of laughter like silver bells. A group of men frequently looked over there.

At this time, Meng Yu saw several men cut off a piece of meat from the grill in front of him and walked in front of different women. The meat was placed in the bowl in front of the woman.

After the women took the barbecue, some added a bowl of wine, and some just picked up the barbecue and ate it.

The person who gets the wine is naturally excited. I happily raised my head and drank it. Those who did not get the wine also returned to their places in frustration.

When Meng Yu saw this, the memory in his heart woke up. This is a confession in disguise. No wonder before he came out, Qian mysteriously gave himself a bowl and a pot of wine. And Old Man Wang wanted to stop it, but in the end, he only buried his head in a few puffs of dry tobacco.

At that time, Mengyu thought that this bowl was for himself to eat, and the wine was also for himself to drink. I was still a little excited at the bottom of my heart. Only now did I understand the purpose of this bowl and wine with black lines on my face.

By the time Mengyu came back to his senses from the bottom of his memory, there were already several more pairs of men and women dancing unknown dances on the field.

As long as the family agrees, these couples will definitely get married next year.

At this time, Meng Yu found that a few people were secretly glancing at him. I wanted to come but didn't dare to come.

Meng Yu thought about it and understood. After all, she is a new widow. But this is both a house and a hunt. It's a little bit of a personal thought. And it does not prevent widows from remarrying, but there are more or less taboos in their hearts.

After some struggle, several people had already left their seats and walked towards Mengyu. Meng Yu saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly poured the wine jug next to him into the bowl in front of him.

Several men were stunned for a moment, and then sat down with disappointed faces.

Meng Yu exhaled in her heart. Fortunately, I reacted quickly, otherwise I would have been embarrassed to death in a while. Several people on the other side couldn't even remember their names.

I took a sip of the wine I had poured myself. Meng Yu couldn't help frowning: a spicy taste, with an indescribable astringency, rushed straight to his taste buds. Meng Yu endured it for a long time before she couldn't hold back and didn't throw it out. I couldn't help but slander in my heart, how did these people drink it. It's worse than poison.

By the time the three rounds had passed, the man was all drunk and lying on the ground. The woman's face was also full of exhaustion. Many of the children have fallen asleep in the arms of their own adults. Obviously tired of playing.

The scene gradually fell silent. Only a few old people still got together, and there was no word of small talk. From time to time, he also smoked dry tobacco.

Meng Yu picked up the bowl and walked over.

"How many clan elders have eaten?"

"Eat! Three sons and daughters-in-law, why did you come to our old guys? The patriarch was also a little drunk, but it still couldn't hinder the happiness in his heart.

"Well, today I went to the city. I've found a restaurant. Then my chickens and ducks will have a place to go. I thought that if someone in the village wanted to, they could raise some with me. Meng Yu thought for a long time, if he was to get rich alone, he might attract the jealousy of the people in the village. Then it will be a lot of trouble.

It's better to bring some people with you. When something really happens, someone will be on your side.

"Really? That's a great thing! It's hard for you to still think about the people in the village. The patriarch listened to Mengyu's words and comforted in his heart, "Don't worry, I'll find a time to talk to everyone tomorrow." When the time comes, you can just look at it. ”

"Then it's troublesome for the patriarch's grandfather! Then you talk slowly, and I won't bother! Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Meng Yu didn't want to disturb a few old people too much. After saying that, he retreated.

"What do you think of my last proposal?" The patriarch saw that Meng Yu had already walked away, and turned to a few people around him and asked.

"I think it can"

"Do you want to stop observing? After all, this Tian family is a foreign surname! ”

Of course, Meng Yu didn't know what the clan elders were discussing. If he knew that he had killed Mengyu, he would not agree to their approach. She just wants to live her own small farm life easily and happily.
