Chapter 20, The Cow Dies
Hearing that there were still so many people at home who hadn't eaten yet, Mei Xue didn't want to stay any longer, "Okay, I'll come over later."
"Well, I'm leaving."
After seeing Aunt Meilian off, Meixue continued to clean up the yard. The chicken was very naughty and pooped everywhere, which was very smelly.
Mei Xue thought about buying some cement and spreading it herself when she had some free time in the yard. Otherwise, when it rained, there would be no good ground, only mud puddles.
Mei Xue's sense of belonging to this home is growing stronger and stronger, and she truly regards this place as her home.
Not long after Aunt Meilian left, Grandma He got up. She was very happy to see Meixue busy in the yard.
"It's hot now, you can do it later." Looking at Xiaoxue who was sweating profusely, Grandma He said with concern.
Hearing her grandmother's voice, Mei Xue smiled, "Grandma, get up. Aunt Mei Lian just came home."
The work was almost done and there was no need to waste a little time, so Mei Xue put down the broom and walked to her grandmother.
At this time, the drizzle stopped and the yard was full of puddles. There was really no good land.
"Why is she here?"
"This morning, Aunt Meilian took Sister Lixia and the child to see a doctor. At noon, they ran into those two people, so they hurried back to see if you were okay, Grandma."
Mei Xue was still very grateful for Aunt Mei Lian's kindness.
"Hmph, what can I do? Those two useless guys are probably saying bad things about you everywhere." Grandma He said unhappily.
"That's no big deal, just say it, it won't cost you a piece of meat." There are many people scolding her, who do they count for?
"It's good that you don't take it to heart. None of these fast-talking women are good people." These are the people whom Grandma He dislikes the most.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, grandma. The rain has stopped. I'm going to the fields to check on the water. I don't know if the fields are too full."
Mei Xue still likes farming very much.
"Okay, I'll go with you. How would you know anything about looking at water?" Grandma He smiled.
You should go and check it out after the rain stops, otherwise what if the roots are soaked and rotted by the water?
Of course Mei Xue wouldn't tell her grandmother not to go. She just wanted to learn from her grandmother's experience.
The two of them packed up and put on the new rain boots that Mei Xue had bought. Grandma He walked with a breeze.
Looking at her proud little look, Mei Xue thought her grandma was very cute.
I walked all the way to my own field, and sure enough, the two days of rain had filled up the field with water.
"Grandma, what if this water ends up in other people's fields?" Mei Xue said worriedly, looking at other people's fields right below her own.
"It's okay. I'll go check if there are any openings in the fields below. If not, I'll help open one. The rice isn't short of water now, but it's afraid of it."
"Okay, grandma, I'll go down and take a look." Mei Xue looked happy as she saw the rice growing better than the previous days.
The rice in other people's homes has turned yellow, but theirs has just been packed.
There is not much work to do in the fields. After watering, just wait for it to dry up. Then you can go back.
Mei Xue, who had nothing to do, soaked her feet in the stream. The cool water was very comfortable.
Grandma He was watching from the side, and seeing Mei Xue's happy look, a smile appeared on her face.
"Don't soak in the water for too long. Be careful not to catch a cold. You'll be in trouble if you do."
"No, I'm in good health. Grandma has taken good care of me."
After finishing the work in the fields, Mei Xue did not add space water to the fields because it was raining. Besides, she had just added space water last time, so it was enough.
However, the heavy rain brought some benefits to the fields below.
When I got home, smoke started coming out of other people's chimneys, people who were busy outside had also returned, and shouts were heard from every household.
Such a peaceful and stable life made Mei Xue very comfortable.
After returning home and cooking a delicious meal and filling her stomach, Mei Xue began to enjoy the future.
"Grandma, why is there no electricity in our village? I saw that the town has electricity." Sitting under a sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the yard, Mei Xue asked while looking down the mountain.
"Why not? But many people in the village want to get electricity, but most don't because they don't have the money." Getting electricity is not just something you say; you have to pay for it.
You also have to pay electricity bills every month, which costs money.
She had also disagreed with removing one of the members before, but now that Mei Xue was added to the family, Grandma He felt that it was time to remove her.
"Someone will come to register next month, and we will register then." Grandma He said with determination.
Mei Xue was very happy when she heard it, "Really?" Only light can make people feel at ease.
What she hated most was the dark night, so she was 100% in favor of pulling the electricity.
"How much?"
"You don't have much money, but grandma still has money for electricity, so don't worry." Did she?
She didn't, but it was time to send someone to deliver the letter to Anze.
He Anze has two names. One is He Anze, which was given according to the generation of the He family. The other one was given by his mother, He Junqi. He calls him He Junqi to outsiders, but in the village, everyone calls him He Anze.
His registered name is also He Junqi.
Grandma He thought of asking her grandson to bring back some money to get the electricity connected so that they would live more conveniently in the future.
Mei Xue didn't know what Grandma He was thinking, and she certainly didn't care about money. It didn't matter whether Grandma had money or not, as long as she had it.
When she woke up the next day, she heard someone crying and shouting in the village, which scared Mei Xue a lot.
"Grandma, what happened?" She's crying like that, is someone dead?
Grandma He was also startled and hurried to the door, looking down, only to see that all the people were gathered behind Zhengsong's house by the creek.
Grandma He thought for a moment and immediately said, "Zhengsong's parents are long gone. His wife is crying at this time. Who has an accident?"
Mei Xue didn't know Zhengsong, but when she saw Aunt Xilian and the others coming out, she immediately pulled her grandmother and pointed to the side of her house.
Grandma He opened the door and walked out.
When I see someone, I ask, “What’s going on?”
Those who were quick on their feet had already gone down and received the news, and were now running up.
"Third Grandma, it was Uncle Zhengsong's cow that was crushed to death. A piece of the mountain in their backyard collapsed yesterday and fell right on the cowshed."
The person who was speaking was He Anwen, who came from Aunt Xilian’s family. He was twenty years old and was currently cutting trees at home to make money.
"Oh, why did they drive the cows back home when they knew it was going to rain?" All the cow sheds in Shuli were built under Feishan Temple, where the ground was flat and belonged to the team.
Normally, no one takes their cows home because they are too smelly, so they are kept in the cowshed near Feishan Temple.
"It seems that the cow has diarrhea, so Aunt Zhengsong took the cow home. We plan to ask Uncle Zhengsheng to check it today." He Anwen was like a gossiper, and the information he got was very comprehensive.
Mei Xue looked at the boy with admiration in her eyes. He was indeed a talented person.
After receiving the message, no one had made breakfast yet, and everyone went home to cook.
After getting up, the men went straight down the mountain and went to Zhengsong's house to join in the fun.
