Chapter 43: Traces
Old man Mei saw that his eldest son was looking at him, and he suddenly smiled and said, "Didn't Dad say it before?" No matter if the old four will not succeed next year, An An should be enlightened.
When the time comes, if the fourth child really has the talent to show talent, he can still let him guide An An......"
If he fails the exam, Mei Dahu also knows that at this time, it is estimated that his father and mother will be angry when he says it.
Facing his son's dark eyes, Old Man Mei lowered his face and didn't speak again.
He also knows that the old man is dissatisfied, and the boss is actually very clear now, he can make money, but not all the money is for the fourth.
Since the third child was born at the age of twelve, the later Xiucai has repeatedly missed, and the family has indeed accumulated a lot of contradictions.
It's not a matter of talent that the fourth child failed the exam, but that the luck was really bad.
During the first hospital examination, Meiyang encountered the death of the first emperor, and the court was turbulent, and after His Majesty finally sat on the throne, not only did not open Enke, but even directly stopped the imperial examination for three years.
They don't understand this kind of thing, but I don't know how many people who read have a lot of complaints about what His Majesty has done today.
As for how it was bad, Old Man Mei didn't understand, and he didn't dare to say it.
So, when the imperial examination was reopened three years later, the competition in the examination that year was particularly fierce, and that time was also the first test show talent in Meiyang, because there was not much experience and the competitive pressure was also great, and he was a little short of passing the exam.
On the day of the second exam, the weather was abnormal, and a cold spring directly caused most of the students who took the exam to be infected with the wind cold, and Meiyang was among them, and he was almost not saved.
Anyway, there were too many unlucky things during the exam, and in short, none of them went well.
This back and forth delay has not been married until they are in their twenties, and the second and third children have left their hearts because of this matter, and at the moment, I am afraid that the boss is also dissatisfied.
Old man Mei sighed in his heart, and thought about the gentleman who he had taken the time to meet when he saw the fourth child in the county a few days ago.
That also said that the old four irons will definitely be able to win, if nothing else.
If you win, everyone will be happy, and if there is another accident...... Then he can only admit that God will not let the fourth child become a talent.
Old man Mei sighed secretly, turned his head to look at Mei An who was playing over there, and was balancing the pros and cons in his heart.
"Okay-" In the end, Old Man Mei was still relieved, "Your father-in-law, the old Xiucai in their village, I remember that enlightenment is quite cheap, and the fourth child was also enlightened over there." Taking advantage of this short period of time at home, you just go to see your in-laws, and ask An An by the way. ”
Even if Old Man Mei admitted this, Mei Dahu was relieved from the bottom of his heart, and he didn't care about his mother's muttering just now.
It's just that the family has been a little tight in the past two years, and these words will be said when the fourth middle school next year is gone.
He doesn't care about any of this, as long as his father agrees to send An An to school, he has the energy to work!
Mei Lian was also happy when she heard this, and she beckoned to Mei An, who was secretly looking at them over there, and Mei An immediately stepped forward when she saw this.
"This is the sesame candy that Sister bought for you, take it."
"Thank you, sister!"
Mei An and Mei Lian's actions naturally couldn't hide the eyes of others, and the Zhang family was worried about the silver.
Don't look at the boss who just gave two coins of silver, and now she suddenly learned that there was another expense at the end of the year, and her good mood changed sharply.
"Where did you get the money? Have you been able to be paid a month? ”
"Milk, no, I'm still an apprentice. My embroidery skills are not as good as embroidery. It's just that I follow the hands-on learning on weekdays, and I will practice with some cloth cloths in private, although the embroidered objects are far inferior to the masters of the show, but as long as the low price can still be sold, I saved a little money. ”
"You've saved ......"
Without waiting for Zhang to ask her how much money she had saved, Mei Lian herself slowly answered and said, "I heard that grandma was not in good health a few days ago, so I specially took out all the money to buy things for grandma to make up for your body." ”
Saying that, Mei Lian handed a packet of brown sugar and a small packet of longan to Mrs. Zhang, who looked at the contents of the bag, and her expression was a little ugly: "You have been practicing for so long and sold these?" ”
"That is, the handkerchief that was practiced after the year was barely able to be seen, so it could be sold."
Mei Lian said, with a look of self-reproach on her face, and said, "After I go back, I will definitely practice embroidery well, and strive to become an embroidery girl as soon as possible, just like the second uncle and the third uncle, I will buy you a bunch of things back when the time comes." ”
"Wait, who are you talking about?"
Hearing Mei Lian's words, Mrs. Zhang immediately reacted, grabbed Mei Lian's wrist and asked, "You said that the second and third children went shopping again?" Not a lot? ”
"yes, isn't it a gathering today? The second uncle and the third uncle also bought a lot of things. ”
As if she didn't pay attention to the changes in her grandmother's face, Mei Lian nodded honestly and replied, "Second Uncle also bought an old hen that has always been big." ”
After she finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on the bright yellow chicken feathers on Mei Dahu's head......
***
In the evening, the whole village is filled with smoke, and families are preparing dinner after a day's work.
Wei Meili finally didn't resist her husband's "macho coquettishness" and made cabbage and meat ball soup in the kitchen.
It is worthy of the seeds produced by the system, and after only how many days it has been planted in the ground, the cabbage will grow the size of a palm, and it will be ripe after rolling it in boiling water a little.
Plum Berry was working in the yard behind her dad at the moment.
The house has been repaired, and the rest is surrounded by the yard, and the bamboo fence under the soil has not yet been fully repaired.
After returning this afternoon, Mei Youqian kept talking to the mud, saying that he wanted to repair the fence in his yard earlier.
Her father re-pasted the yard fence with mud with the front foot, inserted a freshly sharpened bamboo skewer on the top, and planted beans and winter melon seeds at the foot of the fence in the yard with the plum berries hind foot.
His dad also bought a few pumpkin seeds today, and plans to plant them together in the vegetable garden tomorrow when he plants cucumbers.
In fact, his father doesn't like to eat pumpkin very much, although it is sweet and glutinous, it can be used as a staple food or stir-fried, but he can't stand eating too much and his face is yellow.
But the pumpkin is big and durable, and the seeds in it can be dried and fried and can be used as melon seeds, and there are many advantages, and although Mei Youqian doesn't like to eat pumpkin, he likes to eat pumpkin pie.
This morning he saw someone selling this seed, and it was very popular, so he bought a little.
When the father and daughter were about to finish their work, Mei You came to find Mei Berry and asked her to go up the mountain tomorrow morning.
"Tomorrow? All right. ”
Listening to Mei Youyue, she went up the mountain to dig mushrooms, and Mei Berry happened to have this meaning.
It rained last night, and today they went to the market and the weather was still sunny, and the plum berries also estimated in their hearts that the mountains were full of mushrooms again.
Tomorrow she's going to dig up a lot of mushrooms.
"Ah, I'll go tomorrow too, it looks like this mushroom is quite popular."
At this time, Mei Youqian suddenly interjected, and Mei Berry turned her head to look at her father in confusion.
Didn't you just say that you still have to plant pumpkins and cucumbers in the morning? Why do you have time to go up the mountain?
In fact, to be honest, Mei You didn't really want Mei Youqian to follow them.
The main reason why she came to Plum Berry today was to pull Plum Berry as a shield.
She has something to do in the mountains tomorrow, but she can't directly tell the Miao family that she wants to go into the mountains.
The best way to do this is to say that she and Meiberry have made an appointment to pick up mushrooms at the bottom of the mountain, and when the time comes, Meiberry will obediently pick up the mushrooms at the bottom of the mountain, and then she will do what she wants to do by herself.
Because of the market this morning, Mei You didn't have time to inspect the condom she had laid yesterday, and it wasn't until she came back in the afternoon that she went to the place where she had put the condom before.
As a result, Mei You didn't see the prey, but saw the blood stains that had dried up for a long time on the sleeve and on the ground around him, as well as the scattered messy feathers and some small animal skins around.
You can imagine how violently the prey you are trapped in is torn off the rope.
It wasn't something that was discovered after someone found out......
