Chapter 61: I don't want to go
Outside, the moon hung high, and the moonlight gently poured over the earth. The breeze blows, and the leaves sway with the wind, making it quiet and serene.
Inside the house, after Meng Chuntao washed, Meng Guoqiang brought an old-fashioned hand-woven bamboo bed and put it in their room.
The bamboo plank bed is about 2 meters long, about 1 meter wide, and about half a meter high, which is a good tool for outdoor indoor cooling.
This can also be used to lay floors when guests come occasionally.
Meng Chuntao's room is not big, and after stuffing into this bamboo bed, there is only about ten centimeters of width left for people to walk.
"I've moved the bed for you, how to sleep at night, you can arrange it yourself." After Meng Guoqiang said this, he retired directly.
"Thank you, grandpa." Zhao Di and Nian Di both looked at Meng Guoqiang with grateful.
I thought I would be scolded, but I didn't expect that not only was I not scolded, but I also had a good meal and a good meal, and I was afraid that they would have no place to sleep, so I deliberately moved to the bed.
It is not an exaggeration to describe this kind of treatment as worlds different from when he was in the Dong family.
Zhao Di and Nian Di can feel the kindness of others, and they all consciously sit on the bamboo bed and lie down.
"It's enough for us to sleep with Nian Di on this bamboo bed, sister, you and your mother should continue to sleep in the bed."
The two of them were extremely thin, lying flat on the bamboo bed, stunned by a large gap.
Meng Chuntao saw that they had already chosen, and he didn't stop them, he took out some old clothes and handed them to the two of them.
"Although it's hot now, you still need to cover your stomach at night, otherwise you will catch a cold." Hearing Meng Chuntao's explanation, the sisters were willing to accept the clothes and thanked Meng Chuntao again.
Xia Yumei stood beside her, looking at the scene of the harmony of the three sisters, the corners of her eyes were slightly moist, but her face was blooming with a bright smile.
After everyone was lying down on the bed, Meng Chuntao pressed the light switch, and the lights in the room suddenly went out, falling into the darkness where he couldn't see his fingers.
Zhao Di and Nian Di were nervous all day, and they would lie on the bed, their minds slowly relaxed, their breathing gradually lengthened, and they unconsciously fell asleep.
Meng Chuntao lay on the bed but did not feel sleepy, her eyes fell on the bamboo bed not far away, and her eyes were empty.
"Little Peach, did you sleep?" Xia Yumei softly tentatively spoke.
Meng Chuntao came back to her senses and responded.
"Little Peach, thank you for taking such good care of your two sisters. They are so pitiful, if they continue to stay in the Dong family, I don't know what they will be tortured into. Xia Yumei's words were sad and slightly choked.
Meng Chuntao listened silently and didn't give any reaction.
Xia Yumei babbled something again, and seeing that Meng Chuntao had not moved, she couldn't help but be anxious, and couldn't help but spit out the words in her heart: "Xiao Tao, you see that we also get along happily today, will it be okay for the two children to live at home in the future?" ”
Meng Chuntao's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she remembered what Meng Guoqiang said in the field.
If you raise the old, you must also raise the young together? If you really raise it, there will be a bunch of things in the future!
Meng Chuntao is not nosy, but because Xia Yumei was the original owner's mother, and she rarely experienced family and maternal love since she was a child, she helped Xia Yumei again and again.
But this does not mean that Meng Chuntao has no bottom line.
As Meng Guoqiang said, she raised Xia Yumei to repay the kindness of childbirth, but there is no need to raise a few small ones together.
Although with her current ability to make money, Meng Chuntao has the ability to afford it, but as Meng Guoqiang said, once she takes over, there will be a bunch of bad things in the future.
Now that the two children have run away, they don't know how the Dong family will react, and it is unknown whether they will make trouble in the future.
Meng Chuntao didn't want to touch this hot potato and cause trouble for herself.
"Don't. We've talked about this before. You've said before that once you decide you want to raise them, you'll move out and start your own business. It's late, and I have to get up early tomorrow to go to the provincial capital, but I'll be back early to help you pack your things. Meng Chuntao refused very simply.
Xia Yumei was stunned, she didn't expect Meng Chuntao to say this, and she couldn't play the words she prepared later.
Xia Yumei didn't say anything more, and Meng Chuntao forced herself to close her eyes and sleep.
The next day, Meng Chuntao only took the amount of yellow eel that a few restaurants asked for to the provincial capital, and after delivering the goods, he went back with 500 catties of oil residue.
She sold these oil residues in several villages near the county seat, and these days, she has run through more than a dozen villages near her home, and now she has opened up several villages near the county seat.
As long as the market is large enough, her oil residue will not be sold at all.
After selling these, Meng Chuntao didn't waste time and rode to his home.
When Meng Chuntao arrived home, Meng Guoqiang was not at home, Xia Yumei was cooking, and Zhao Di and Nian Di stayed at home and did not go out.
Seeing Meng Chuntao coming back, Zhao Di and Nian Di both said hello to her.
Xia Yumei raised her head when she heard this, smiled wryly, and pretended to be affectionate: "Xiao Tao, you came back really early!" Just when the meal is ready, you go and call your grandfather to come back for dinner. ”
Meng Chuntao nodded, turned around and went to the Meng family's field.
The crops in the fields have long since been harvested, and the fields have basically been renovated and fertilized, and water is being pumped into the fields.
There is only one pump in the whole village, and each family has to wait in line for several days.
It happened to be the Meng family's turn today, so when Meng Chuntao passed, he happened to see Meng Guoqiang sitting on the ridge, staring at the pump for a moment.
Meng Chuntao walked over and said softly, "Grandpa, the meal is ready, let me call you back to eat." ”
Meng Guoqiang raised his eyes, smiled, lifted the straw hat on his head and fanned back and forth like a fan, and didn't hurry back: "There were a lot of things yesterday, and I didn't have a chance to ask you, what are you going to do with the two sisters of Zhao Di and Niandi?" ”
Meng Chuntao sat next to Meng Guoqiang and said with a smile: "There were indeed too many things yesterday, I also bought you a set of clothes, I forgot to give it to you, I will give it to you when I get home later." ”
"I'm so old, what new clothes do I wear? Waste of money! Although Meng Guoqiang was in a critical tone, he couldn't suppress a smile on his face.
Seeing the smile on Meng Guoqiang's face, Meng Chuntao's expression eased as well, and he said that he refused Xia Yumei's desire to take the child to stay.
"It's good to refuse! I see that your mother is a little confused, and she has no sense of proportion at all! I said it at the beginning, but now I still want to go back on my word! Meng Guoqiang's face sank instantly, and he looked at the paddy fields that were less than half irrigated.
"It is estimated that it will take more than two hours to pump this water properly, so I can pinch it and turn it off. Let's go back! I'd like to see what your mom says in front of me! Meng Guoqiang took the lead with a shovel, followed by Meng Chuntao.
After a while, the two arrived home.
Xia Yumei just brought the dish to the table, and Zhao Di and Nian Di both looked at the dish on the edge of the table, constantly swallowing their saliva.
"Dad, you're back! Let's start eating! Xia Yumei said with a smile.
