The four tiled houses in the bamboo garden behind the village are Liu Mei's house. At this moment, a cloud of gray and black cooking smoke came out of the roof of her house, and a white dog ran out, humming and chirping, barking twice, seeing Liu Mei and a strange old woman coming over, still carrying wild things, so affectionate, he changed his attitude and wagged his tail at Liu Mei who was approaching.

Liu Mei roared, and the white dog walked away with interest, standing on the edge of the patio, staring at the wild thing in Liu Mei's hand, and then it barked again, not very casually, but pretending to be skillful, its neck slowly raised, and its eyes squinted, which reminded people of those singers who sang it superbly.

Liu Mei's mother, Ma, is a woman in her fifties, vaguely seen, not very old, slightly chubby face shows a bit of wealth, if you look closely, you can see some shallow ripples like age spots attached to the skin.

She was in good spirits and very shrewd, and when she saw the old woman carrying two wild things and Liu Mei into the house with a smile, she stared at the old woman suspiciously and asked: Mother Xu, what are you doing with my prey? Mother Xu replied procrastinately: I didn't bring it - It was a young man who fell in love with Liu Mei and gave it to your family. Liu Mei was embarrassed to ask for this gift, so I brought it for her. Don't thank me yet?

Thank you. Ma Shi thought in her heart that the young man who could hunt in the village was Wang Meng, and she immediately thought that a matchmaker came to Meihu Village two days ago and introduced a young man named Kuai Siming to Liu Mei. It is said that Kuai Siming is a butcher, in addition to selling pork, but also selling wild meat, has been in business for many years, and has accumulated some money in his hands, but Liu Mei feels bad about him when he meets that day, he is too fat, when he looks at people, his small eyes are squinted like two meat balls bulge, he is close to Liu Mei, and there is a greasy smell on his body, Liu Mei took a step back and quietly walked away, to dissipate the disgusting feeling, these Ma Shi didn't know.

Now she glanced at Liu Mei in embarrassment, but Liu Mei didn't see it, so Ma said to Xu's mother: You can bring this gift back to Wang Meng, my plum has been married. Mother Xu felt embarrassed, but immediately said it very tactfully, easing the atmosphere. She said that when people send game, it is a favor, just a favor, or a good impression of Liu Mei, not necessarily to marry your Liu Mei. Besides, your Liu Mei is married to others, but she just said it verbally, she didn't go through the door, and I don't know if Liu Mei is willing or not, if she is unwilling, even if she is married to others, she will not live happily.

Ma secretly thought that there was some truth in what he said, so he nodded slightly, and asked Liu Mei to boil the water to rub the harrier eagle feathers, cut the weasel skin, and leave Xu's mother to eat. Mother Xu took the opportunity to get close to her ear and said: I don't think Liu Mei necessarily likes the one who has said goodbye, if she does, she won't ask for the wild things given by Wang Meng today.

Ma Shi glanced at Liu Mei and felt that it was okay to say it directly, so he asked Liu Mei, do you like Kuai Siming? Liu Mei was stunned for a moment and shook her head.

At this moment, the white dog barked outside the door again, and someone outside the door shouted Godmother, it was a man's voice, and Ma knew that it was Kuai Siming who came, so he walked out of the house to greet him. Kuai Siming wore a gentleman's uniform, shaved into a herringbone, carried a bag in his hand, and swaggered into the threshold of Liu Mei's house, and the white dog went around to the side and stopped barking. I saw him last time, but I didn't get acquainted with him, but this time I saw him, and I still looked surprised, and I screamed at first.

At this time, Kuai Siming was sitting in the hall, Ma asked her to hold tea, but she didn't move, and Mother Xu quietly said to her: This is a courtesy, what is it to hold a cup of tea? Liu Mei was silent, and Kuai Siming raised her head and squinted at her.

But Ma brought a cup of hot tea, Kuai Siming was a little unhappy, Ma saw it, and said that Meizi was busy. I picked up the bag that Kuai Siming put on the table, opened it and saw that there were some snacks inside, and below it was a knife of pork wrapped in plastic sheeting, about four or five catties. Kuai Siming said, take it out quickly, lest pig R force it to make a smell inside. Ma, who took the pork, said: You can eat wild game when you come to my house today, there are harrier eagle meat and weasel meat, and it is good that you are here.

Godmother-where did you get this? Kuai Siming asked suspiciously.

It was given by someone. Ma said as he took the pork and went to the kitchen.

Godmother, I can help with the cooking. Kuai Siming stood up and wanted to show it. Ma said, you don't have to do it, you are a guest.

Kuai Siming was very sensitive, thinking in his heart that what Ma said "was sent by someone", but it was inconvenient to ask, so he just wanted to put out her words, and deliberately said that in addition to killing pigs and sheep, he could also hunt. Ma answered, you can also hunt? What a capable all-rounder! In two days, you will also go into the mountains to hunt a muntjac or something to honor your godmother?

Okay! This is easy. Kuai Siming spoke excitedly, and his body writhed as he sat down, making the wooden chair rattle in pain.

Liu Mei went to work in the kitchen, and Kuai Siming followed, she remained silent and didn't glance at him with her eyes, but what Kuai Siming said to her mother jumped into her ears one by one, and she didn't even drop a word. Hearing what her mother said just now, she wanted to stop it, looked at her mother, frowned, and couldn't help but call her mother- There was a slightly longer drag.

Kuai Siming went in and didn't help with the cooking, because he couldn't intervene, so he sit, sitting in front of the kitchen door behind, Liu Mei turned her head, just saw Kuai Siming's gaze, she lowered her head very quickly, and secretly compared the appearance of Wang Meng and Kuai Siming, and felt that Wang Meng was more handsome than him in any part except for being shorter, so she invisibly felt disgusted with him. also deliberately chatted with Xu Ma, who came in to help: I think Wang Meng is the best hunter in the village, do you say? Xu's mother.

Xu's mother has been a matchmaker for decades, she speaks decently and measuredly, especially in front of Kuai Siming, and pays special attention, at this time she asked Liu Mei rhetorically: You have this feeling, how can I object?

Kuai Siming heard Liu Mei and Xu's mother's words, and suddenly asked: Could it be that the harrier eagle meat and weasel meat in this pot were sent by Wang Meng? No one spoke, and the air seemed to tense all at once. Ma Shi Hui Yuanchang: Wang Meng lives in the same village with us, and he usually has a good relationship with our family, so we accepted the two kinds of game he gave us. Kuai Siming remembered the harrier eagle feathers and the stripped weasel skin from the corner of Liu Mei's house he saw just now, and frowned and said: It's not easy to eat game? Next time I go up the mountain, I will also hunt some wild things, and I will ensure that my godmother is satisfied.

Child, what are you better than? You can kill pigs and sheep to make money, what kind of wild things to shoot?

Jungle hunting is also fun, and I want to try my luck, nothing is wrong. Kuai Siming was talking to Ma Shi and looked at Liu Mei, Liu Mei glanced sideways, which was a reflection, and disgust had spread all over her face. Mother Xu deliberately provoked her: Meizi, you should be happy to be able to taste wild meat today, why do you make a face? Liu Mei said: I'm upset.
