Chapter 122, Regretful Author
"Okay, go ahead. Do less and rest early after eating." It was really tiring to walk this way.
After dinner, they took a bath and went straight to bed.
The next day, Mei Xue went to the vegetable garden and came back with a cloth to go to Aunt Meilian's house. It started raining again today.
But the rain is not heavy.
"Xiaoxue, why are you here?" Aunt Meilian was doing housework when she saw Meixue coming over.
"Aunt Meilian, I tore some cloth yesterday and would like to ask you to help me make a few more clothes for grandma, as well as for myself." Mei Xue said as she walked into the yard.
"Okay, it's time to buy it. I was thinking about when I would go to town to buy some cloth for your grandma to make some clothes. Now it's ready. I can save money if you buy it." Her family's business was taught by Xiaoxue and was the idea of her Third Aunt.
Not to mention all the benefits that An Liang had gained from following Xiaoxue, he should be filial to his third aunt.
"No need, I will buy things for grandma." Mei Xue likes to buy things for her grandma and see the smile on her grandma's face.
Is there anything more important than grandma’s smile, and of course, that smile is because of her presence.
"Then you can't stop us from being filial to my Third Aunt."
"Then Aunt Meilian, you can make clothes for grandma." Mei Xue retreated.
"Haha, you, okay, wait for me to wash the handle, let me see the cloth."
Mei Xue couldn't help here, so she might as well go back and help her grandma get the cotton out. It was really troublesome to deal with the cotton she bought by herself.
After Mei Xue left Aunt Mei Lian's house, Aunt Mei Lian said to He Zhengcai who had just come out of the toilet: "Xiao Xue is so filial."
"What's wrong?" He Zhengcai heard Xiaoxue's voice, but he was in the bathroom and was too embarrassed to say hello.
"Look." He pushed the cloth in front of him, "These are what Xiaoxue brought over. She asked me to make some clothes for Aunt San and her, as well as the bed sheets and quilt covers that she asked me to make before."
She had made it for Xiaoxue's bed before and knew the size, but the one she was given today was obviously not for her own use.
If she doesn't need it, who else can it be? It's only her third aunt.
"Are you envious?" He Zhengcai said happily, "I'll find such a good wife for your son in the future."
"Bah, you're dreaming. How could there be such a good girl in the world who could marry into our family? Is your son worthy of her?" Aunt Meilian glared at He Zhengcai unhappily.
He Zhengcai touched his nose and said, "That's your son too."
"Yes, my son, I gave birth to him, I know he doesn't deserve it."
Well, this poor kid An Liang was rejected by his own parents.
Mei Xue didn't tell them about the snake sale. They would talk about it after An Liang and the others came back.
It's not good to tell anyone.
An Wen also knew that his sister-in-law had returned, but he did not go up to ask. However, he also planned to go to the mountain to look for her. Of course, it would be best if he could catch her, but if not, forget it.
Because his family is short of money.
It has rained a lot these days, so she doesn't have to work too hard in the plum fields. However, the watermelons she planted have begun to form flower buds. But it has been raining all the time, which has a great impact on the flowering.
Grandma He and Mei Xue were both a little anxious about this matter. "If we had known earlier, we would not have planted the watermelons in the field." It would be much better to plant them in the backyard, and we can use other things to block the watermelons.
"It's okay, we won't plant on the mountain next year." Mei Xue also felt a little regretful. She didn't expect the rain here to be so heavy.
"Alas, I don't know if it will bear fruit this year."
"If it doesn't bear fruit, it doesn't bear fruit. With this experience, we will definitely be able to grow good watermelons next time." Mei Xue comforted.
Compared to Mei Xue's self-confidence, Grandma He is not so confident, "As long as you are happy." No belief, no discouragement.
Time flies, and soon it is the end of September. Mei Xue has been catching snakes in the mountains with An Wen these days.
Why did Mei Xue run into An Wen every time she went up the mountain with An Wen? Of course, it was not that An Wen deliberately ran into Mei Xue, but that Mei Xue ran into An Wen.
After learning that he had been catching snakes, Mei Xue came up with something and the two of them put the snakes together.
An Wen also gradually improved his skills, and under Mei Xue's guidance, his skill in catching snakes became better and better. At the end of the day, he could catch as many snakes as Mei Xue.
During this time, when An Liang and his friends came back on the weekend, Mei Xue also distributed the money to them, 100 yuan each, according to the previously agreed price of 3 yuan per pound.
But they all felt that they had not contributed much and were unwilling to take the job. In the end, Mei Xue used the words of breaking off the friendship to convince them to stay.
After giving them the money, Mei Xue never asked An Liang and the others to come with her when catching snakes again. It was not because she didn't want to, but because they knew their own worth and they couldn't always take advantage of others.
At the end of the month, the flood receded and the roads in the village were open. Boss Zhao did not come with Qian Zeyang this time, but Uncle Shi did.
"Big sister, big sister, are there any snakes to eat today?" Grandpa Shi shouted as he entered the He family courtyard.
Grandma He had already seen the car by the creek and knew that Boss Zhao and his team had come to collect vegetables, but she didn't expect that the first person to enter her house would be Old Man Shi.
"Eat? Eat your ass off. Can't snakes be sold for money? Why should I cook them for you to eat? Do you deserve it?" Grandma He's mouth is like the teeth of a poisonous snake.
Uncle Shi was not angry. He said cheerfully, "Don't be angry, don't be angry. Look what delicious food I brought you." Uncle Shi was very good at reading people's expressions.
Seeing the two big bags in his hands, a smile appeared on Grandma He's face. "Come here if you want. What do you want to bring? It costs so much." If those hands were not so quick, her words would be more believable.
Grandma He opened the bag and looked at the things inside. She was very happy and said, "Come on, sit inside. It's so hot outside."
Uncle Shi's expression changed immediately, he really acted like an ostentatious old man. This time he invested a lot of money. Those two big bags cost him a lot of money.
There were not only canned food and meat, but also some cloth and ready-made clothes. The ready-made clothes were suitable for the elderly, and the cloth was suitable for little girls, not to mention those small things. He also bought a lot of fruit candies and milk candies.
More importantly, there was also the egg cake he brought back from Kyoto, which was extremely precious.
"Where is the little girl? Isn't she at home?" When he entered the kitchen and didn't see anyone, Grandpa Shi asked.
"Xiaoxue is picking vegetables in the vegetable garden. The vegetables have to be tied up, otherwise she won't be able to take them down the mountain." Grandma He said happily.
Last time she counted the money from selling snakes, it took her several days to do so. This time, with so many vegetables, she didn’t know how long it would take her to count.
"Is that so? Then let's go and help her." Uncle Shi knew who was the head of this family, so he had to please that girl.
Just at this moment, Qian Zeyang, who was walking behind, came in and said, "Grandma He, Grandma He."
Hearing the sound, Grandma He went out again.
