Chapter 137: Changing Places
"What do you think, how do you think Uncle can borrow money from us?"
Angry Mei Dahu, Mei Youqian and Mei Sanma chatted outside, and Mei Berry and Mei You chatted in the house.
Anyway, Mei Berry has a strong curiosity about Mei Dahu's brain.
I feel like I'm smart sometimes, and I come up to deliver food at critical times.
"Because as he said, who can really take out all the money without leaving a little money to resist the forced labor?"
"Then even if there is, I won't borrow it." Mei Berry looked strange when he heard this, "Where did he get the confidence that we will borrow silver?" β
"Not necessarily, according to my father's previous temperament, maybe he will really borrow it, but now he is not so good at talking."
Speaking of this, Mei You smiled at Mei Berry: "Thank you to your family, your father has a great influence on my father." β
"Hahaha, I hope to influence more. Sometimes my dad is a little out of character~"
Remembering that her father rubbed her hands with her third uncle just now, Mei Berry looked at Mei You's expression with some apology.
is a good honest and pure father, and suddenly becomes a little bit ...... It's obscene, it's embarrassing.
"The second uncle is very good, he is free and easy to do things, and he is very good to his own people. is not a bad person, but he has his own view of right and wrong. β
To be honest, Mei Berry was really embarrassed to listen to Mei You's praise, and she felt that the heroine was a little heavy on their filter.
"But then again, I didn't expect that such a thing as forced labor would happen every year."
Maybe I don't read enough history books, or when I watch TV, some costume dramas rarely mention it.
The Plum Berry family didn't think about it at all.
Mei You also thought for a moment when she heard Mei Berry's sigh, and said: "I haven't thought about it, but I can understand it, this is the same as paying taxes according to the law in your later life, but in addition to money and silver, there is also labor here." β
"Sister, it seems that you won't have the same in the future generations~"
Mei Berry listened to Mei You sometimes add a sentence of "you" in front of her when she said the afterlife, and the feeling of alienation that isolated herself made Mei Berry feel a little uncomfortable.
Before crossing over, just reading a book, Mei Berry was full of amazement at Mei You's setting up such a person as a post-apocalyptic boss.
She just thinks that the other party has good hands and flexible brains, and she is beautiful and sassy in doing things.
But she never thought about how Mei You could become a boss in the last days.
I didn't explain that much in the original book, but I thought about it, it should be difficult, right?
Hearing Mei Berry's whispered complaint, Mei Berry's eyes fell on the lush trees outside the window, and he didn't say anything, just smiled and gently brought the topic over: "Yes, even more cruel and terrible than here." β
The collapse of order and the degradation of human nature brought about by the early apocalypse, even if the composition of the survivor base in the back brings the survivors together and re-establishes the law.
However, the lack of materials for survival and the scarce labor force still make everyone who survives in the last days continue to live with difficulty.
That cannibalistic world is constantly demanding from the living.
Seeing that Mei You was obviously smiling, but Mei Berry seemed to see the cold frost and snow in the other party's curved eyelashes.
At the end of the wind and snow is a dead wasteland......
"Ahh
Coldly grabbed Mei Berry's hand again, Mei You came back to her senses from her past memories, and couldn't laugh at Mei Berry's look of wanting to cry or not.
"What? Sympathize with me? β
"No ......," Plum Berry replied against her will, "I thought, how long is it on such a hot day?" The thought of going home for lunch later, I was afraid that I would be sunburned as soon as I went out......"
Mei You: ......
Although the topic changed very bluntly, I have to say that Meiberry said it very realistically.
It's really damn hot this day!
"In a few days, will you go with me to the town to buy food?"
Mei You suddenly mentioned such a sentence, and Mei Berry habitually nodded in agreement first, and then asked the reason.
"The weather is so hot, there is a high probability that the output will be reduced in the autumn harvest this year, and if you don't buy grain now, it may not be easy to buy in the autumn and winter."
"But, sis. There must be a lot of food to buy, our family is good at the head of the village, your family is at the end of the village, there are many people, you buy food back is too conspicuous, have you thought about what to do? β
Plum berry is in place this time.
If you talk about hunting and taking out the prey to sell, it is much more convenient for Mei You's family to live against the back mountain than in the village.
Now I know from the plum berry house that there is another way up the mountain from the detour outside the village, and the advantage of the back mountain is also general.
It's not that their family hasn't bought anything before, and there are many people snooping along the way.
There are a lot of idle people in the village who are idle and gossiping, and Mei You doesn't like to be talked about when she buys some food.
"Do you have any open space over there?"
Suddenly, Mei You's soul was blessed.
When Mei Berry heard her question, it was hard not to guess what Mei You meant: "Sister, you mean...... Do you want to change places to build a house to live in? β
γSystem!! The heroine changes the house, is there the original book of this plot?!! γ
Mei Berry has already spit on herself 10,000 times in her heart for not being serious, but the heroine's family still lives here when it snows heavily in winter in her original book!
Mei You changed houses?
Isn't it obvious that she was influencing?
[Is this a deviation from the plot? γ
Plum Berry asked scaredly.
[As the heroine, if you have your own ideas to do something to improve your life, how can it be called deviating from the plot? ] γ
Plum berry never thought that the answer given by the system was like this!
Dog system, double standard monster!
"Originally, I also thought about changing the house, but my father and mother liked it very much, so they never changed it. It's almost winter, though......"
Mei Yu expressed her shortcomings and worries about the wooden house.
Among them, there is no earthen kang in the winter bedroom of the wooden house, and the brazier is worried about carbon monoxide poisoning;
The land at the foot of the mountain is not suitable for digging, and some food in winter is not easy to preserve, and so on, Mei You can't count them on her fingers.
The plum berry opened her mouth several times when she listened, and then silently swallowed her question back.
What they say makes a lot of sense.
But Mei You still hasn't moved in the original book?
"What's wrong? You seem to have a lot of doubts. β
"That's it...... Aside from what I've told you today, do you have the idea of leaving the cabin and moving away? β
"Of course, I've always had that idea. Even if it's just past winter, I'll move out next year at the latest. β
"Where to move?"
"Plum berries." Hearing Mei You suddenly call her name, Mei Berry's body sitting on the edge of the bed suddenly straightened, looked at Mei You seriously, and responded with a "yes", almost making Mei You ruined.
"Do you want to live here until you die of old age?"
"Nope!"
Asked by Mei You's words, Mei Berry shook her head without hesitation to express what she meant.
If you put aside the need to follow Mei You to check in and live;
If you put aside the unknown troubled times that are about to begin;
The Meiberry family will definitely leave Jinshui Village after making money.
Stay away from the best, take the money you earn to find a lively and prosperous place or a place with simple folk customs and beautiful mountains and rivers to live again, and be a happy small landlord.
yes, so the heroine didn't mind living in a simple wooden house in the first place.
It's like their family just repaired a mud house and lived in it.
It's just because they don't think of it as their real home, they don't pay much attention to it, and all of them will end up because what is in front of them is not what they really want.
"And what house do you want to build near our house?"
"Just a mud house like yours."
In Mei You's opinion, changing to a new house, she just took a fancy to the location advantage, and this was just a place for her to stay for a short time.
That night, Mei Berry is at home and Mei Youqian mentions that Mei You has decided to build a new house near their home.
Although Mei Youqian and Wei Meili were surprised for a moment, they obviously accepted it quickly.
"Also, the house looks good now, the trees are shady and cool in the summer, but in the winter, the wooden house can't shine in the sun, not to mention, you have to be careful of carbon monoxide poisoning when burning the stove, and you should rebuild the house."
"Yes, there is also a cellar, you don't remind me that I have forgotten, we don't seem to have a cellar either. I'll do it when it's cooler. β
"Don't we have space in our house?"
"Then there has to be a top-up one, too."
In the scorching summer, Mei You's family decided to rebuild a house near Mei Berry's house, and things were quickly settled.
However, because of the hot weather, this house is only built in the morning and evening, and everyone still chooses to cool off in the house when the scorching sun is in the sky on weekdays.
The small animals in the yard are also often cared for by the plum berries with cold spring water.
But even so, the three cashmere sheep that Mei Berry's family bought back almost suffered from heat stroke because of their thick coat.
However, because of the heat stroke of the cashmere sheep, the attention of the plum berries returned to the wool thread again......
It's so hot, ice cream, happy water, and watermelon can't be solved~ I can't wait to lie in an air-conditioned room 24 hours a day......
