Chapter 42, An Liang's Heavy Responsibility
"Stinky boy, don't go and help yet. Aunt Meilian glared at her eyeless son angrily.
After the two of them were gone, Aunt Meilian began to ask about this morning.
It turned out that after Grandma He and the others left, the eldest grandmother regretted it and squatted at the gate.
Everyone was close, and they listened to the whole story, and after knowing what it was, everyone didn't come forward.
"It's not easy for Xiaoxue to eat plums, there is a good one on my mountain, and I will pick it up for Xiaoxue in a few days. "Aunt Meilian also understands the temperament of the eldest aunt and never borrows anything from her.
"I know, if it weren't for her precocious white plum, do you think I would go?" Grandma He said this, and her heart was very remarkable.
"Forget it, aunt is such a person, you don't know, don't be angry with her, be careful of hurting your body. Aunt Meilian comforted.
"I know, I'm not angry, I've been around for decades, and I know her, but I didn't expect that I just picked up Xiaoxue's things yesterday, and now I changed my face, I really didn't expect it, it's still the same as when I was young, it's annoying. ”
Grandma He said that she was not angry, but can she really not be angry?
"I saw Xilian's sister-in-law go up the mountain before, I'm afraid that she is picking plums for Xiaoxue, don't worry about it, there are many people who like Xiaoxue, not worse than her. ”
"I originally wanted to take Xiaoxue to Xilian Mountain to have a look, but Xiaoxue didn't let me, forget it, don't want to take advantage of other people's families in the future. "Grandma He is also cold-hearted.
But Aunt Meilian knows that the third aunt has that mouth, but her heart and eyes are actually better than anyone else.
After the dishes were washed, Aunt Meilian took An Liang home.
After returning home, she gave An Liang a heavy task and asked him to go to the mountains to find some ripe plums for Xiaoxue to come back.
This matter is trivial to An Liang, there are no boys who don't go up the mountain to climb trees, go into the water to fish, and they are more familiar with the mountains than these adults.
After getting the order, he played even more crazy.
Mei Xue didn't know these things, and not long after Aunt Meilian left, Aunt Xilian came to the door.
Seeing her come in with a small basket, Mei Xue saw what was inside, it was Meizi.
There may have been expectations before, but now, there is a dislike for plums, and Mei Xue.
"You're really here, sit down, just now Meilian was still saying that you went up the mountain, and I think you went to pick plums. Grandma He was not polite to her, and directly took the basket and put it on the table.
"Xiaoxue doesn't want to eat plums, there are them on the mountain, I'll go and see, I didn't think it was really ripe, give Xiaoxue a sweet mouth." Aunt Xilian smiled.
Seeing her like this, I'm afraid that I also know what happened in the morning.
"Thank you, Aunt Xilian. Seeing that her grandmother took it, Mei Xue immediately thanked her.
"I don't need to thank you, I want to say thank you, I have to thank you, that pheasant is expensive, and we also followed Xiaoxue to enjoy the happiness and eat a chicken. "Generally, there is really no chicken to eat at home until the New Year's holiday.
"No thanks, Anwen and they all contributed. "Accidents or something, Mei Xue still knows.
She's just on the defensive.
It's not that they can't come into contact with people.
After the conversation, Aunt Xilian took the basket and left.
In the afternoon, Aunt Ting also sent a basket of plums, but this time Grandma He did not come forward.
Aunt Ting knew what kind of virtue her mother-in-law was, so she didn't say anything, so she said that the plums were ripe and gave Xiaoxue and the third aunt a taste.
Of course, Mei Xue took it, because it was she got the chicken back.
Since the eldest grandmother is so stingy, then she can't be generous.
In the afternoon, the sun was too strong, and there was no work at home except to pull weeds in the field, so Mei Xue asked the old lady to stay at home, and she went to the field and the field by herself.
The old lady shook her head, reluctantly, for fear that she would see the man at home for a while, and she would be upset.
followed Xiaoxue to the field.
The rice in every household in the field is yellow, and her family has only packed it, but she has not been here for a long time, and she feels that her own rice seems to have grown a lot.
Those ear buns are all very bulging, and at a glance you know that the pulp is very good, and this year will definitely be a bumper harvest.
Grandma He felt that this was Xiaoxue's blessing.
Since Xiaoxue arrived at home, her family's life has changed day by day, and she has also enjoyed the blessings of her children and grandchildren that she could not enjoy earlier.
There is still such a shallow layer of water in the field, which is also the last time to fertilize the rice, as long as the weather is not too dry, there is no need to put water in the field.
It is not until the rice is harvested that the fields are filled with water again, and the mud is soaked to soften the land, so that the land can be cultivated in the coming year.
Of course, these things are still far off.
After pulling some grass in the field and around, the two walked home in the sun.
I have to go to the vegetable field to see, now almost all the vegetables are supplied from my own home, but some vegetables have almost to be planted.
Mei Xue is a person who has never farmed, and everything she does is under the command of Grandma He.
Grandma said that these vegetables could be plucked, so she plucked them and let her sit under the shade of the tree to rest.
Anyway, the mother-in-law and grandson's little life is very fulfilling.
In addition, with electricity at night, Mei Xue prefers such a peaceful day as now.
Mei Xue, who has nothing to do, changes her tricks every day to make up for Grandma He's body, all kinds of supplements.
If it weren't for the poor level of the doctors in the village, Mei Xue would have wanted to use those Chinese medicines, well, the main thing is that she wanted to try what the legendary medicinal food tasted like.
She had seen it in books, but she hadn't even smelled it.
July passed quickly, because every family was busy with the work in the fields, and some people went to the big market every time, so it can be said that this month can be regarded as a harvest month.
In the blink of an eye, August has arrived, and some early rice families have begun to harvest rice.
Mei Xue doesn't worry about the rice in her field every day, and basically runs every day.
And on this day, before Mei Xue had time to go out in a hurry, she found that there were more than a dozen carriages in the village.
After asking, I learned that today is the beginning of the month, and it is the day when the village sells wood.
The wood is sold to a lumber mill in the town, and there are capable people in the village who deliver directly to the timber mill, so the village will basically cut some trees from their own mountains and sell them.
Anyway, don't need the capital, everyone's enthusiasm is very high, it can also be said that selling wood is the bulk of the village's income.
"Grandma, can we also cut wood on the mountain?" As soon as Mei Xue heard that she was rich, she had an idea in her heart.
It's just that she has to ask her grandmother something.
Grandma He knew Xiaoxue's thoughts, and she also suffered because she was the only one who left early and was bullied by the villagers.
"We don't have anything important on the mountain, it's just some small trees, and people don't collect them. Grandma He shook her head.
Mei Xue obviously felt the sadness in her grandmother, she didn't know why, but she didn't dare to ask any more at this time.
Forget it, it's a big deal that she doesn't sell wood.
