Meng Tao received the two wooden boxes sent by Shen Yu and Meng Zhehan, locked the small warehouse and returned to the hotel. She pried open the two tightly nailed wooden boxes and was immediately speechless: Another imported milk powder! Why are these two people so keen on letting her drink milk powder? She likes fresh milk, okay? If someone can send a cow over so that she can drink fresh milk every day, she will be grateful.

Meng Tao was just thinking about it. If those two people really went crazy and sent the cows, she didn't know what to do. The production team would definitely not allow private individuals to own cows, and they didn't dare to take living things into the space. That would be troublesome.

She found an envelope in each of the two boxes. In the letter, Shen Yu chatted about some romantic things that she couldn't tell whether they had copied them from a book or imagined them. Meng Tao wanted to laugh. But what he wrote at the end was what she was interested in. He said there was another manila envelope in the box that contained cash for her to use first and they could talk about the rest when they met.

Meng Tao rummaged through the box and found a large brown paper envelope. When she opened it, wow! It was full of brand new big unity banknotes, which roughly amounted to 5,000 yuan.

Meng Tao was very happy. She had spent almost all of her original 6,000 yuan in the past few days. With the 5,000 yuan in her pocket, she felt more confident and could spend money more easily.

There was also a banknote enclosed in Meng Zhehan's letter, and the amount was quite large, but I definitely couldn't accept it. I appreciated the kindness, but I had to return it to him later.

It had been raining and snowing for several days in a row, with snow particles mixed with raindrops, which was extremely cold to the bone. In such bad weather, someone actually came to the Meng family in Liuzhuang.

It was Meng Changshou's fourth son Meng Laibao who came to visit Meng Jinniu with his ten-year-old son Meng Jinshan.

The father and son's lips turned purple and their faces turned pale due to the cold. They sat shivering beside Jinniu's bed. Meng Tao gave each of them an enamel cup of boiled water, and they drank it slowly in her arms. Finally, they recovered.

Meng Laibao bought two canned fruits. Jinniu asked Fourth Uncle why he was still spending money. Meng Laibao said apologetically, "Fourth Uncle is sorry for you. Fourth Uncle was really not at home at that time, otherwise he would definitely stop your father."

Taurus just smiled. He had completely let it go and was no longer sad about those people and things.

Meng Jinshan approached him and asked, "Third brother, are you feeling better now? Are you still in pain?"

"Much better, it doesn't hurt anymore." Jinniu asked Meng Jinshan: "Ba Wa, why don't you go to school?"

Meng Laibao answered, "He insisted on coming to see you when the school was on vacation. Ever since you came to the county town, he has been running to the mountains every day after school, picking dried golden berries from the branches like other people, saving a bag and selling them at the commune purchasing station, saying he wanted to buy food for you... Look at how his hand was pricked."

Meng Jinshan hid his two black claws embarrassedly. Meng Tao saw that the back of his hand was pricked by the small thorns in the thorns. When he plucked them, the thorns broke off and stuck in the flesh. He might have scratched because of the itch, causing inflammation... It's not the time for frostbite yet. If he got frostbite, it would be even more uncomfortable.

Taurus: "Ba Wa, don't go into the mountains anymore. What if you run into a wild boar? You are weak, and the mountain roads are hard to walk on. You might fall again!"

"I didn't go into the mountain. I was only at the foot of the mountain. There were a lot of golden cherry trees at the foot of the mountain."

Meng Jinshan said as he pulled out a handful of colorful fruit candies from his pocket and smiled, "Look, Third Brother, I picked up golden cherries and exchanged them for 1.6 cents. I bought all these candies at the supply and marketing cooperative. If your mouth feels bitter after taking the medicine, just put one in your mouth."

He saw Meng Tao and handed two pieces to her: "Sister Taohua, have some too!"

Meng Tao smiled and answered: "Thank you."

Meng Jinniu's eyes were red. In that family, only Ba Wa treated him sincerely.

"Thank you, Ba Wa. Third brother is not around anymore and I can't help you with anything. Be careful when you go to school on windy and rainy days."

"Don't worry, third brother. I've grown up and can do a lot of things on my own. You just go back to Linshui Village. I don't want you to come back. Grandma curses you every day. If you go back, she will never forgive you. Our grandfather sent Geng Caiyue back to the Geng family, and there was a big quarrel at home." Meng Jinshan said.

Meng Laibao coughed twice and said, "Don't worry, Sanwa. Geng Caiyue can never marry you. She is not a quiet person. Seeing that my eldest brother and his wife didn't take you back, she actually set her sights on Jin Lin.

Meng Jinniu: “…”

Why did everything get messed up and split up when he left? Anyway, he couldn't control it, so let it be.

As they were talking, Jinniu grabbed an apple and some biscuits from the bedside table and gave them to Meng Jinshan.

At noon, Meng Tao came back with food from the hospital cafeteria. Meng Laibao, Meng Jinshan and his son ate with everyone else and then prepared to go back.

Jinniu asked Jinshan to take the two canned fruits back, but Jinshan refused: "They are for you to eat. They are nutritious and will help you get better soon."

Jinniu said, "When you know the way, come to Linshui Village to play with me."

"Hey! I will definitely find the way."

Meng Jinshan said, and Meng Laibao also smiled. He was happy to see his son interacting more with Jinniu. Jinniu was not as smart and promising as King Kong and Jinlin, but he was kind and reliable, and treated people sincerely. Now he was adopted to Linshui Village. Looking at Meng Taohua's clothes and manners, you can tell that the Meng family in Linshui Village will have a good life. When Taohua gets married in the future, Jinniu will be the head of the family.

Meng Laibao was willing to spend money to take his son to the county town to visit Jinniu. Firstly, he couldn't stand his son's noise, and secondly, he saw this point. If his son had an emergency in the future and asked his cousin Jinniu for help, he would definitely help.

Meng Tao sent the father and son downstairs and gave Jinshan a comic book "Little Soldier Zhang Ga", which made Jinshan very happy.

Two days later, Zhou Cuiling took time out to come to the county town and brought Meng Tao three registered letters written by Shen Yu and a telegram from Liu Jianxin of the Pingjiang Forestry Bureau.

Meng Tao was not at home, so the telegram was signed by the brigade leader Bao from the brigade headquarters and stamped with the brigade seal before the postman left it.

Meng Tao opened the telegram and read that Liu Jianxin said: Liu Yongsheng and his group of four will arrive in Linshui Village on the 20th of the twelfth lunar month.

Mr. Liu is really coming.

Meng Tao asked Zhou Cuiling to go back and tell Captain Bao about this. She said that food and accommodation would not be a problem for the guests, as she had prepared everything. As for the rest, she could slowly plan it out after she and Jinniu returned to the village, and they would still be in time.

Zhou Cuiling went back and applied for a tractor from Captain Bao on behalf of Meng Tao. Meng Jinniu could remove the plaster now. His injured leg still needed a splint, but he could recuperate at home and move around more easily.

On the day of discharge, Meng Tao and Jin Niu said goodbye to Zhang's father and Zhang Fu, thanked Zhang Fu for his care, and invited them to visit Linshui Village. Zhang Fu smiled and said, "I will definitely go!"

Meng Tao is still renting the small warehouse of the winery.

In two days, Mr. Zhang will be able to be discharged from the hospital.

Today's update is complete, thank you for your support! Thank you!
