Chapter 49 She Knows, So She Pretends She Doesn’t Know

Looking at his nephew sitting on the sofa in a daze, Song Qing walked over and handed the peeled apple to Pei Yu.

"Just tell your uncle if there's anything you want to eat, and I'll ask your aunt to cook it. Your aunt is a very good cook." Song Qing also sat down and said to Pei Yu, "Don't be restrained, just treat it as your own home!"

Pei Yu took the peeled apple from his uncle, picked up the fork and ate a piece, then whispered to his uncle, "Okay."

After dinner, you will come home with me. Your aunt has made your bed for you. You should spend the next few days with your grandpa. Old Master Song touched Pei Yu's head lovingly.

Grandpa, when can I join the army? Pei Yu said calmly,

Today is Tuesday, and I will probably be able to report next Monday. You can look around these days to see if there is anything suitable. You can also send some to the cute girl. Just tell grandpa how much money you need. I also want to thank the little girl for saving my life, the old man said gently as he looked at Pei Yu who was in a bad mood!

Pei Yu looked up and nodded at his grandfather!

dad! Are you back? A little girl in school uniform came in from outside, and saw Pei Yu sitting on the sofa.

The little girl stared at Pei Yu with bright eyes, "This must be my cousin," and then she ran over excitedly, stretched out her hand and said to Pei Yu: "Hello, cousin, I'm Tiantian, your cousin."

Pei Yu stood up, held Song Tiantian's hand, and said with a smile, "Hello, little cousin. My name is Pei Yu, your cousin!

yeah! I have a brother now. I’ll see who dares to bully me. If anyone dares to bully me again, I’ll let my cousin beat him to death. Song Tiantian jumped for joy!

You little girl, you can only see your cousin, right? Grandpa is sitting here, and you didn't even notice it! You are such a heartless person, Mr. Song teased.

Hehe, no way! I was just too excited. Of course I saw grandpa! In my heart, grandpa ranks first! Song Tiantian hugged Mr. Song's arm and swayed back and forth, acting like a spoiled child.

You, you! Mr. Song tapped his granddaughter's head and smiled lovingly.

Come and have dinner, Sun Mei came into the room carrying the dishes from the kitchen and invited everyone to sit down and eat!

Wow, today’s food is so rich! Song Tiantian exclaimed: "Cousin, you must eat more later. My mother is a good cook, especially the sweet and sour spare ribs. Everyone who has eaten it says it is delicious!"

Well, Pei Yu agreed with a smile and sat next to the old man. The old man sat in the main seat, and the others followed suit.

Dad, I'm pouring you some wine. Song Qing took out a bottle of white wine and poured it for the old man.

Xiaoyu, you should drink some too. It's a welcome for you. Our family is finally reunited. Sun Mei also urged her husband to pour some for Pei Yu.

If you can drink, have a drink, Mr. Song also advised.

Pei Yu smiled and took the bottle and poured some wine for his uncle and aunt, then poured himself a glass.

I want some too. Song Tiantian raised her glass and shouted that she wanted some more wine.

Okay, stop making trouble. Children can't drink alcohol. You can only drink alcohol when you are 18 years old. Go pour some orange soda yourself. Song Qing quickly spoke up to stop Song Tiantian who was about to get the bottle of wine.

Humph, I will drink with my grandfather and cousin when I grow up, and then Song Tiantian will go over and pour orange soda into the cup.

Old Man Song raised his glass and said: First, to celebrate that our family is finally reunited, second, to welcome Xiaoyu, and third, Xiaoyu is about to join the army. Let us all raise a toast to celebrate Xiaoyu's return, and wish Xiaoyu all the best in the future. May our family get better and better. Cheers!

Everyone stood up and clinked glasses with each other. This moment was warm and beautiful!

Huanglong Village was very lively at this time, because today was the day when the commune came to collect sheep. Five of the seven sheep were handed over to the commune, and two were kept in the village.

"Mengmeng, you won't cry later, will you? These are the sheep you fed with so much effort. Wouldn't you be reluctant to take them away?" Wu Ruirui said to Li Meng, who was dragging him to watch the fun.

"Why are you crying? We agreed to hand it over, didn't we? Besides, we can get some mutton to eat! Don't you want to eat mutton?" Li Meng asked Wu Ruirui.

"Hehe, of course I do. Lamb is best eaten in winter! I heard from my dad that lamb is especially nutritious," Wu Ruirui said while sucking his saliva. At this time, he was no longer worried whether Li Meng would be reluctant to part with the lamb. He just wanted to eat the lamb as soon as possible.

With the help of villagers, several sheep were tied up and put on a car and taken away by the people from the commune. Li Meng waved to the sheep and silently mourned, "Be a human in your next life. Being a sheep means being eaten. Rest in peace."

The team leader drove the remaining two sheep to the village committee and called a butcher to kill the sheep and distribute the meat to the villagers. Several aunts also boiled hot water in a large pot nearby to scald the wool off, saying that mutton with skin tastes better.

Many people were watching the process of slaughtering the sheep, but Li Meng did not go over there, thinking out of sight, out of mind. This way she could eat the sheep without any burden.

Li Meng stood under a jujube tree opposite the village committee while the sheep had not been slaughtered yet. There were still a few jujubes hanging on the tree, all of which had been dried by the wind.

"Li Zhiqing, why are you here? Didn't you go to watch the sheep being slaughtered?" At this time, Yao Yuan walked over and came over when he saw Li Meng there.

"I'm afraid I'll feel guilty when eating mutton after seeing this, so it's better to turn a blind eye," Li Meng said to Yao Yuan with a smile.

Sometimes she didn't know what Yao Yuan was doing. She couldn't see through this person before. When Pei Yu was around, she basically didn't see him around. After Pei Yu left, she met him several times on her way out or on her way to and from work. At first, she didn't know if it was a coincidence or some other reason.

After several experiments, Li Meng was sure that this educated youth Yao Yuan was interested in her, so she pretended not to know. Only Zhou Hui and Wu Ruirui knew that she and Pei Yu were boyfriend and girlfriend, and no one else knew about it. There was no need for her to tell everyone one by one, as this was not her style.

In fact, Yao Yuan had a good impression of Li Meng when they first met. He felt that this girl was decisive, had her own ideas, and should come from a good family. It would be good if he could develop a relationship with her.

Before, it was because Pei Yu was there, and he could see from their interactions that Pei Yu and Li Meng had more or less a fondness for each other, but he had never taken any action. Now that Pei Yu is gone, he thought he could try to see if he could make Li Meng feel good about him.

Little did he know that he had calculated wrongly and that this would not be possible.

"Go ahead if you want to see it. I'll stay here for a while until the meat is divided. I'll go over there and Wu Ruirui will come to call me," Li Meng said to Yao Yuan calmly.

"It's okay. I don't like watching sheep being slaughtered either. I'll stay here with you for a while, and then we'll go over together." Yao Yuan also smiled at Li Meng.

In fact, just looking at Yao Yuan's appearance, he is the type that mothers-in-law like, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, a high nose bridge, and a tall stature. He usually dresses neatly. Several aunties in the village are secretly asking about his family situation, wanting to introduce their daughters or nieces to him.

Unfortunately, he is not her type. She still likes her boyfriend's single eyelids. She doesn't know how her boyfriend is doing now. She estimates that he will write back to her as soon as possible.
