Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Plum Berry Who Doesn't Do His Job
evening
Today, Mrs. Zhang, who didn't pick beans and changed to hemp rope, once again heard the mother-in-law next door talking about her other daughter-in-law who also had to deduct the Dragon Boat Festival ritual.
No, it's blowing up again!
"Ahh These two heartless things! ”
"Is there any heavenly reason! These two unfilial things! ”
"Isn't it just a little bit of food, and you still have to use the Boxing Rites to deduct it? Is it a human child? Unfilial things! ”
Although Mrs. Zhang was repeatedly emphasized by her old man that she was not allowed to go out to make trouble.
However, can scolding the street in front of your house be counted as going out to make trouble?
Anyway, Mrs. Zhang herself didn't recognize it, and the one who stood at the door and scolded it was ugly.
"Forget about the shrew in the second room, the third family actually does the same! It's all a group of white-eyed wolves! ”
Zhang's scolding was loud, Mei Lian stopped what she was doing, and glanced at the old lady who was standing at the door of the kitchen, peeling peanuts and stealing them, but she was a little surprised.
Yesterday, her mother was still indignant, and her mentality changed overnight?
"See what?"
Noticing his daughter's gaze, Jiang walked up to Mei Lian and handed two to Mei Lian.
Mei Lian took it, looked at her mother, and asked, "Didn't I see you want to go out and help your grandmother scold people today?" The two aunts have offended a lot this time, and they don't plan to give the Dragon Boat Festival gifts. ”
"yes, and it's no good not to give the Boxing Rites, what am I going out for?"
Jiang, who whispered to his daughter, poured the last handful of peanuts into his mouth, and then chewed the peanuts as if to vent his anger.
"She's good, all the things she takes now are cheap and given to the fourth child, don't say it, don't say no, our family can't get any oil and water...... I'm out, it's not worth it. ”
Jiang finished muttering in a low voice, his face was full of anger at not taking advantage of this time and suffering a loss, and before Mei Lian could say anything, he heard her grandmother shouting her mother again and again at the door.
"Alas! It's coming, mother! ”
The Jiang family, who was still showing resentment and meanness on his face just now, heard the shouting, and the expression on his face changed as soon as he said it, and when he turned his face, he smiled and went to her milk.
Now, Merlene thoroughly understood what her grandmother said that her mother had a talent for pleasing her.
"Mother, you extinguish the fire, go back to the house to drink saliva, let's find a chance to make them look good next time!"
Merlene: "......"
It's just that this way of flattering is really not clever.
***
"What? It was the male protagonist who saved it that day? ”
In the evening, Mei Berry's family sat in a row on the kang and soaked their feet together, and Mei Youqian was not too shocked to hear Mei Berry sort out the recent check-ins and rewards.
"How can it be a male lead?"
Mei Youqian didn't understand, he lay down at the beginning, what kind of male protagonist is it?
"Shouldn't the male protagonist appear with the spirit of a tyrant, save the suffering heroine in danger, slap the best in the face, and kick the villain?"
Hearing Mei Youqian's understanding of the male protagonist, the corners of Mei Berry's mouth twitched.
How many male frequency cool articles did his dad watch behind her back before?
"What do you think? Youyou are so powerful, you don't want to be good every day! ”
Wei Meili united with her daughter, glared at her husband, and stepped directly on the other foot in the basin with her own foot.
"Now, our silver system has also given a lot, and you have got a few more primer recipes......"
Mei Youqian changed the topic with interest, and remembered that they went to the town to catch up with the market and drink tea in the tea shop a few days ago.
"Speaking of which, the tea in the tea shop in the town is really not good, and it is made from some old tea leaves."
Mei Youqian said that he asked Mei Berry to show him the drink recipe sent by the system, and he smiled after reading it, "Although the tea recipe here is simple in raw materials, it is better than freshness." Left, but the system also said that these recipes are all drunk in the summer, and they are sold for two or three months~"
Earning is a wave of quick money.
Even if they don't make money, the money they get from punching in the system has more provenance.
How much money can you make selling mushrooms all year round?
"Another day, wife, you made a taste at home, if you can really do it, when the weather is hotter again, the little mule cub at home will be a lot bigger, just let it exercise."
Since the mule cub came out of the system, the plum berry has found that it really looks the same every day, and it grows extremely fast.
Meimei's parents are the kind of people who do what they say and do it.
Early the next morning, he and his wife went through all the recipes and became interested in the introduction of raw materials that could be obtained at this time.
Mulberry chrysanthemum, a tea brewed from chrysanthemums, honeysuckle and mulberry leaves.
It is very suitable for drinking when the weather is hot, and it has the effect of clearing heat and reducing fire, quenching thirst, reducing swelling and brightening the eye.
Dried chrysanthemums can be bought in pharmacies;
Now is the season for honeysuckle to bud;
Mulberry leaves are also available in the village, and both of the latter can directly pick some and go home to dispose of and dry them themselves.
Soon, this job fell on Plum Berry.
Early in the morning, Wei Meili was washing clothes by the river, and Mei Berry took a small basket and picked some honeysuckle flowers that had just begun to be packed along the riverbank and some mulberry leaves.
Looking at the slightly reddened mulberry fruit on the branch, this mulberry chrysanthemum drink has not yet reached the mouth, and the plum berry has begun to think about eating mulberry fruit.
Picking the mulberry leaves and a few honeysuckle bones and putting them in the basket, she had already heard Wei Meili wash her clothes and call for herself to go home.
Plum Berry turned and walked to the road, just in time to see her aunt coming with a large basket of clothes.
Seeing Mei Berry standing on the side of the road, Jiang Shi didn't have a good face, and when he walked past her, Mei Berry also subconsciously moved to the side.
Seeing Mei Berry's movements, she saw Wei Meili standing not far away, and finally Jiang snorted with his nose to show his sense of existence.
For Jiang's childish behavior, Mei Berry also stuck out her tongue and grimaced at her background.
Who knew that as soon as she finished making this grimace, she turned her head and saw Mei Lian standing not far away with a basket of vegetables.
Plum berry: "......"
This kind of being caught in front of others and making faces at other people's mothers, Mei Berry can only show an embarrassed smile.
"Good morning, Sanya, have you eaten?"
However, as if she didn't care, Mei Lian ignored Mei Berry's embarrassment, and stepped forward to greet Mei Berry warmly.
Her gaze fell on the basket of plum berries, and she froze for a second, and when she saw what was inside, she withdrew her gaze and continued to smile.
"Eat, eldest sister, have you eaten it too?"
"Well, after eating, let me come over and wash some vegetables for lunch." Mei Lian said softly, and then asked, "Sanya, what are you doing here?" ”
"Huh this?" Finding that Merry had noticed her basket, Plum Berry smiled generously and replied, "I'll pick some flowers and go back to play." ”
Pick flowers and have fun.
Mei Lian looked at the honeysuckle that had just budded, and looked at Mei Berry for a while, her eyes were a little complicated.
Mei Lian's heart is really indescribable at the moment.
Look at these three sisters, they were stunned at home in the past, but now that they are away from home, they are becoming more and more out of tune.
I'm afraid her three sisters aren't stupid, right?
She doesn't do anything at home, and she's still interested in picking flowers when the adults are busy?
Yesterday evening, after her father and grandfather came back, she took a broom to sweep the yard door and closed the door, at that time, I happened to see not far away on the road, plum berries were also happy, holding a few wild fruits in her hand to eat.
It looks like it's been another idle day.
Thinking about the temperament of her second uncle and second aunt who protect the calves, it's no wonder that there is no reason.
Faintly, Mei Lian didn't know if she was pitying her third sister, who was twelve years old and still ignorant of the world and still a little stupid, or should she be jealous of her stupid person and stupid blessings?
Mei Berry didn't know that she was raised stupid in the other party's impression, but she was a little scared of Mei Lian's watery eyes.
Mei Lian's eyes are like a deep pool with an undercurrent surging under the calm, and it is really scary to look at each other......
Mei Berry: I never thought that after "being beaten up half of the village", I would be able to mention the rumor that "I was a fool".
