Chapter 128, Water Chestnut (Please subscribe)
"It's okay, just keep it and I'll repay you for your kindness," Mei Xue comforted.
That night, Grandma He didn't fall asleep until the radio died down.
The next day, Grandma He got up late.
After the gift-giving event last night, the An Wen family and Mei Xue's side became closer.
Everyone saw these changes, and soon everyone knew that Anwen had given his third grandmother a radio as a gift to her, and everyone was very envious.
Just after noon, An Wen came over again, "Sister-in-law, where is my third grandmother?" He didn't see his third grandmother when he came in.
"Grandma is taking a nap. She didn't sleep well last night." Mei Xue looked at An Wen with a bit of resentment, with a hint of blame in her eyes.
An Wen understood the look in his sister-in-law's eyes and touched his nose. "Has Third Grandma listened to the radio all night?"
"What do you think?"
Well, what else could An Wen say? However, thinking about why he came to see his sister-in-law, he immediately changed the subject: "Sister-in-law, let's go pick water chestnuts."
"What is a water chestnut?" Mei Xue was confused.
"It's delicious, but don't go, sister-in-law. If you're late, the villagers will have picked all the berries." The berries grew in an abandoned field. I heard that someone had planted them before, but that person left the village and never came back, so the field was left empty.
But the water chestnuts inside are very delicious. Every time this season comes, many people in the village will pick some to eat.
"Okay, wait for me." Of course Mei Xue had to go.
She has no resistance to food.
She went into the house and took a look at her grandmother, who was sleeping soundly. Mei Xue did not wake her up, but she locked all the doors here and the gate to the yard outside. Only she and her grandmother had the key, so she was not afraid that her grandmother would not be able to get out.
Just as An Wen said, there were quite a lot of people here. When many people saw Mei Xue coming, they greeted her with a smile.
Mei Xue knew some of them and some not, but she had to call them all aunt.
After finding a place with few people, Mei Xue rolled up her trouser legs and went down to the field.
In the past, water chestnuts could be eaten as meals, but now they are eaten as snacks.
No one will pick up too much.
It was the first time Mei Xue saw it, so she picked up a big bucket, but it was not the kind of bucket used to hold fish, but a small bucket that was usually used at home.
After finishing the installation, she went up to the field stalk and waited for Anwen.
An Wen came up without picking up much, "Sister-in-law, you picked up so much." Looking at the big black water chestnuts in his sister-in-law's bucket, An Wen really felt that his sister-in-law could do anything.
"Well, let's go back." After Mei Xue went to the fields, she broke one off and ate it. It was a little sweet raw, but an aunt next to her saw it, smiled and told Mei Xue that it needed to be cooked.
This interrupted Mei Xue's idea of eating it raw.
"good."
This time I gained a lot.
Life passed quietly like this, and Mei Xue got along well with her grandmother and the people in the village.
Even Aunt Yong will call Mei Xue "Xiaoxue" with a smile when she meets her now.
Unlike before, when people always said that she was unlucky in marriage.
However, Mei Xue is a stingy person. She still remembers the suffering the original owner had endured, and she pretends to be blind to Aunt Yong's kindness.
However, an accident brought her into contact with He Anwei and his group of guys.
"Hurry, come on, there's more here." It turned out that the children in the village were looking for food in the mountains in this golden October.
Each one is like a wolf set free.
Look, there is a pear orchard on the other side of the mountain behind Mei Xue’s house. I don’t know how many fruits there are, but for children, they are also appetizing fruits.
Mei Xue also heard what her grandmother said and planned to come over to take a look, but unexpectedly, she ran into a group of little kids from the village.
This mountain is not her home, and Mei Xue has no intention of going forward when she sees people. She plans to go to the pear tree on the other side to pick some pears to eat.
This thing is definitely not as delicious as the one grown with her spiritual spring water, but it’s better than nothing.
Just as she was leaving, Mei Xue saw a snake crawling down from the pear tree. The color of the snake was very similar to that of the pear tree, and if you didn't pay attention, you might not be able to spot it.
Looking at the appearance of the snake, Mei Xue knew it was a poisonous snake.
She wanted to leave, but when she thought of the price of the snake, Mei Xue held back and slowly walked towards the group of children.
He Anwei was the leader of this group of children. He was about to climb up the big tree, but unfortunately, he did not find the snake.
It happened so quickly that when Mei Xue saw the snake raise its head, she immediately stepped forward and grabbed He Anwei with one hand, pulling him down from the tree.
When the people around saw it, they immediately started yelling.
Before they finished yelling, Mei Xue grabbed a snake in her hand and weighed it. It was not light, at least three or four kilograms.
"What are you arguing about?" Mei Xue turned around and glared at the little brat behind her.
Of course He Anwei and the others saw the snake in Mei Xue's hand, and they were so scared that they took several steps back.
The snake's head is pointed, and you know it's poisonous. It would be very dangerous if you were bitten by it.
He Anwei broke out in a cold sweat.
"Sister-in-law An Ze, thank you." He is not an ungrateful person.
Mei Xue glanced at He Anwei and didn't expect that he would thank her.
"The snake belongs to me." Mei Xue nodded in response.
"Of course." A group of people nodded hurriedly. They didn't dare to take the snake.
Seeing that they understood what was going on, Mei Xue smiled and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"We are picking iron pears here. They are so sweet." A group of half-grown children all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Mei Xue's smile.
“This is called iron pear?” Can you still eat a pear if it’s made of iron?
He Anwei also came back to his senses at this time, put on his shoes and walked forward, "Sister-in-law, this pear has a thick and hard skin, so everyone calls it an iron pear, but this pear is sweet, sister-in-law, do you want to eat it? I have some here, all for you."
Mei Xue originally came here to pick pears, but now she had a snake in her hand, so it was difficult for her to pick the pears. When He Anze handed the pear to her, she of course didn't hesitate.
"Oh, okay." He took it very easily.
"Then you guys take your time picking them. I'll go back first." After saying that, Mei Xue turned around and left.
In Mei Xue's eyes, this snake is much more valuable than a pear.
Only after the person walked away did He Anwei and the others breathe a sigh of relief, "Oh my god, my sister-in-law is too scary, isn't she?"
"That's right, I don't dare to move in front of her."
"Yes, you know, my sister-in-law kicked An Wei away with one kick."
One by one, they all expressed their gratitude for their performance.
He Anwei's face also gradually turned ugly, "Stop talking nonsense, go pick the pears quickly."
Mei Xue put the snake in the utility room as soon as she got home. This was the first snake she caught after selling all the snakes last time.
I didn’t expect there would be so many snakes in the mountains, that’s great.
In a blink of an eye, the weekend came again. When An Liang and the others came back, Mei Xue felt that her home was lively again.
