Chapter 049: Remember to Come Back
Granny Meng's small pink western-style building was filled with an extremely joyful atmosphere at this time.
Meng Tianlan and Xiao Yuyao were cooking, Pei Qingqing was chatting with Granny Meng, and Ye Ci was running back and forth with the children. When the children saw Ye Ci, who was very similar to Xiao Yuyao's appearance, they shouted "sister, sister" in their throats, and took turns to kiss her face, which made Ye Ci, who had never hugged her grandchildren, happy to close her mouth.
"Seeing the way your mother likes her children, I think you might be married off right away. Meng Tianlan cut the green onion and whispered to Xiao Yuyao.
Xiao Yuyao, who was planning to make dumplings with her, closed her eyes, her head drooped, and she said gloomily: "Mom has actually blocked a lot of knives for me, if it weren't for her, maybe I would have been married off by my father a long time ago......"
"Your dad may have his helplessness. Meng Tianlan comforted.
Xiao Yuyao sighed softly: "Perhaps, my sister and younger brother have been used by him in exchange for benefits, and I am actually mentally prepared." ”
"Yaoyao, you...... Don't you have a crush on someone?" Meng Tianlan lowered his eyes and asked softly.
"Sister Tianlan...... Why are you asking about this?" Xiao Yuyao looked ashamed, she felt a little strange in her heart, Sister Tianlan has always disliked asking other people's private affairs, what's wrong today?
"Oh, no...... It's nothing," Meng Tianlan subconsciously accelerated the stirring of the egg liquid in the bowl, hiding a trace of panic in herself, "I just think...... If you are interested in someone now, you can discuss it with your family. ”
"Discuss~ I'd rather run away from home!" Xiao Yuyao said indignantly.
"You can also ...... Get on the bus first and pay later. Meng Tianlan's voice was like a fine mosquito, except for Xiao Yuyao, there could be no second person who could hear it.
"Sister Tianlan, you're crazy! You can hear what you're saying!" Xiao Yuyao secretly turned Meng Tianlan with her arm.
"Use extraordinary means in extraordinary times!" Meng Tianlan was itchy and hurriedly twisted her thin waist, "I don't believe it, you are like this, your father can still force you to marry someone else." ”
Xiao Yuyao gently wrinkled Xiao Yao's nose at Meng Tianlan, and suddenly seemed to remember something, her eyes instantly lowered, and she sighed: "Don't hide it from my sister, Yaoyao does have a sweetheart." ”
Meng Tianlan was stunned for a moment, and said nervously: "Who ...... Who?"
"This man was no longer alive years ago...... If he is still here, I believe that without me mentioning it, my father will also go up to the pole and beg me to marry him......" Xiao Yuyao held the basin with both hands, her eyes blank.
"Oh...... It turned out to be an absent person......" Meng Tianlan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Well, sister, what you said today is so strange, it's not like what you ......said at all," Xiao Yuyao couldn't help but wonder.
"Oh...... It's nothing, I just think it's a pity that this person is so young, it's gone, and it makes my sister think about it so much, how good this person is!" Meng Tianlan hurriedly played a round game.
"It's really good, but it's a pity that I didn't make it a hero, unlike my brother. Xiao Yuyao smiled slightly and continued to make peace.
"Your brother, he's hitting him crookedly!" Meng Tianlan sneered, but there was a different kind of light in his eyes.
"Then you have to be able to fight! My boy who has been thinking about it for a long time was also beaten crookedly back then, that is, ...... I didn't ......," Xiao Yuyao sighed.
"It's just luck. Meng Tianlan prepared the ingredients in her hand, and with a "bang", she turned on the fire, she was going to make a lot of egg fried rice today.
"However, Sister Tianlan, your solution is a good one. Xiao Yuyao nodded slightly.
"What way?" Meng Tianlan didn't react for a while.
"Get on the bus first and make up the ticket later!" Xiao Yuyao smiled slyly.
Meng Tianlan was speechless, and couldn't help but feel guilty in his heart, as if he had inadvertently opened a Pandora's box.
On the other side, Granny Meng looked at Ye Ci, who was standing at the door teasing the child, her eyes were full of kindness, and she whispered to Pei Qingqing: "Qingqing, what about Xiaocang and Xiaoshuang?"
Pei Qingqing glanced at the back of Meng Tianlan, who was cooking, and whispered back: "Mother-in-law, those two children, it's okay, but it's not easy to manage now, Xiaocang is okay to say, it's more well-behaved, but Xiaoshuang's child, the brain is too flexible, I can't control her!"
Granny Meng covered her mouth with her arm and laughed softly: "It's bothering you." By the way, what about the two of them?"
Pei Qingqing replied: "Xiao Cang is in Lingdie Castle now, this time there was an accident in Lingji Hall, I came in a hurry, and I didn't bring him over." Xiaoshuang ...... She helped me go to the Stone Elephant Clan to do something, if she had done it, she would have seen the note I left when she got home, and she might have arrived at Spirit Butterfly Castle. ”
"You really don't have to worry about letting her go alone!" Granny Meng couldn't help but look gloomy, "Stone Elephant Clan, why did you let her go to the Stone Elephant Clan?
Pei Qingqing was speechless when asked by Granny Meng, so she could only laugh awkwardly.
"Hmph! How many years, you kid, why don't you know how to die! What kind of temperament is Liu Peixi, can't you still see it? Even let Shuang'er go alone, if something goes wrong, you ...... How do you make me and ...... Ahem...... cough cough ......" Granny Meng was angry, her face was swollen and red with anger, she covered her chest, and coughed incessantly.
"Mother-in-law...... Don't you know...... Mother-in-law...... Don't be angry, Qingqing knows that you are wrong!" Pei Qingqing saw that Granny Meng couldn't catch her breath, so she quickly admitted her mistake and begged for mercy.
Ye Ci, Meng Tianlan and Xiao Yuyao heard Granny Meng's cough, and hurriedly put down the matter in their hands, came to Granny Meng's side, and asked with concern what happened.
Granny Meng leaned back on the sofa, closed her eyes and took a few breaths, waved her hand at a few of them, and said, "People are getting old! This body is really getting worse day by day! If I can drink a few more sips of wine every day, maybe my old bones can last a few more days!"
Seeing this, Meng Tianlan and Xiao Yuyao didn't say much, turned around and continued to cook, leaving Ye Ci and Pei Qingqing, who looked at each other.
"Yaoyao, what's the matter with you, mother-in-law is so uncomfortable, why don't you ask?" Ye Ci, who didn't know the truth, asked at his daughter's back.
"Mom, you don't have to worry about her, she's fine!" Xiao Yuyao said without looking back.
"Alas!" Granny Meng pretended to sobbed twice, looked up to the sky and sighed, "People are getting old! This treatment is really worse day by day! If the food and drink are still under control, what do you mean by saying that this person is alive!"
Meng Tianlan, who was in the distance, sighed softly, returned to his house, took a bunch of keys out, and walked towards a small house next to him.
"Sister Tianlan!" Xiao Yuyao shouted.
Meng Tianlan turned her head and smiled at Xiao Yuyao, did not speak, opened the door with the key and went in, and after a while, she took a bottle of wine out, walked through the living room, and put it in front of Granny Meng.
Granny Meng's eyes suddenly lit up, she jumped up from the sofa, opened the bottle cap three times and divided five by two, and drank it all after a while.
"Hiccup~~"
Granny Meng didn't pay any attention to her beautiful image and hiccuped for five seconds.
It's just that after the wine burp, there was no smell of wine, but a burst of intoxicating aroma spread, almost fainting Pei Qingqing and Ye Ci on the side.
Granny Meng, who was refreshed, lay on the sofa, squinting her eyes and savoring the aroma of wine.
"Do you still want to drink?" Meng Tianlan asked softly.
When Granny Meng heard this, she suddenly opened her eyes and stared at Meng Tianlan, who was standing beside her smiling, her eyes rolled for a long time, and said, "Tianlan, why are you so generous this time, willing to let my sister and me drink, could it be that you have something to ask me?"
Meng Tianlan smiled: "Mother-in-law really knows everything, Tianlan does have one thing and wants to ask my sister for permission." ”
Granny Meng pursed her mouth, and the comfortable mood just now was swept away.
"Tell me about it. Granny Meng closed her eyes again, crossed her hands in front of her chest, and posed as an interrogator.
Meng Tianlan didn't care, and said softly: "For the sake of safety, the children of Lingji Hall have all temporarily moved to Lingdie Castle, and I also want to go there to accompany the children." ”
Granny Meng opened her eyes, stared at Meng Tianlan again, and asked in a deep voice, "Is Yaoyao going back too?"
"Well, she's going back too. ”
"Then, what about her eldest brother Du Xiaobai?"
He ...... Go back too. ”
Granny Meng nodded slightly, slowly stood up, and said in a low voice, "If you have time, remember to come back." ”
After that, Granny Meng passed by Meng Tianlan tremblingly, and walked upstairs with steps that were extremely incommensurate with her young and beautiful appearance.
Outside the small western-style building, a few slightly older children were giving amnesia soup to dozens of newly arrived souls. On a white bull ant boat docked by the Lechuan River, Du Xiaobai was drinking wine and chatting with Old Man Du.
Old Man Du took a sip of wine and gave Du Xiaobai a thumbs up: "Boy, since I went to the underworld, there are not many people I have admired, and you are one of them." ”
Du Xiaobai waved his hand again and again: "Old man, I'm really crooked, it's nothing, my only wish now is to quickly find out the ingredients in my blood, if it can help to govern the Lechuan River, it won't be too late for you to admire me then, hehehe." ”
Old Man Du nodded and said, "I have already said hello to some boatmen, don't touch the water of the Forgetchuan River, usually check the hull of the boat, and if you find any damage, you must remedy it in time." ”
"Old man," Du Xiaobai was silent for a long time, and still brought up the topic, "I see that my mother-in-law's health is really not very good, don't you really plan to reconcile with her......"
"Stop!" Old Man Du stopped Du Xiaobai's question, "Some things are matters of principle, and there is no room for negotiation." ”
"However, is it the relationship that is important, or is the principle important? If it were me, I would rather abandon all principles and just ask my wife to return to me......" Du Xiaobai still did not give up his efforts.
Old Man Du took another sip of wine, got up and walked to the corner of the boat, and said to Du Xiaobai behind him: "We are all old monsters who have lived for thousands of years, and when life is infinitely extended, many things seem to be less important. But in my opinion, old man, there is one thing, even if thousands of years have passed, billions of years, it is the most important. This is the respect for life and love. What Meng Yiyi did completely ignored the preciousness of life, so I can't forgive her no matter what. ”
"Granny Meng...... It doesn't look like the kind of person you say...... What did she do to make you so angry?" Du Xiaobai asked.
Old Man Du sighed and said, "This is a matter between me and her, and I don't want to mention it again." Boy, I understand your intentions. Thank you, old man. However, both of us are already old and stubborn, this old man, it is complicated and complicated, and it is simple and simple, so you don't have to worry too much. Maybe one day we'll figure it out and reconcile. ”
"Really, when the time comes, if I am still alive, I will definitely bring wine to congratulate the old man!" Hahaha!" Du Xiaobai saw a little hope and was in a good mood.
"What are you talking about, it's not easy to die after drinking my ambergris, ahahaha!" Old Man Du looked up to the sky and laughed.
Du Xiaobai stood beside Old Man Du, looking at the calm Lechuan River, forgetting the nervousness of entering the capital city soon, and his mood became extremely calm.
