Chapter 207, Transition (Please vote for recommendation)
Anshan was not far behind. Although he didn't catch any game in the whole morning, he picked a lot of peaches and took them back.
As for Mei Xue, she was bored and was accompanying Li Shuangshuang to make clothes for the children. No one knew what she was thinking to make so many clothes.
"Sister-in-law, do you want to make two quilts for the children?" Li Shuangshuang said to Mei Xue who was about to fall asleep.
Mei Xue was stunned, then thought for a while and said, "No need, I already have several small quilts, there is no need to make more." It's useless to make more. They are too small and they won't be able to be used when the child grows up.
"Okay then. I was thinking of asking Brother Anwen to buy some cotton to make quilts in a couple of days."
"Buying cotton? Then ask him to bring some back for me. Winter is coming, and I need to prepare more quilts and other things for Xiaoyu." There was enough at home, but nothing to change.
"Sure, tell him when he comes back."
As they were chatting, they heard someone calling outside the house.
"What are you doing?" Mei Xue stood up with the help of the chair and looked outside.
Soon we saw Anwen and his friends, carrying a large backpack.
"What are you arguing about?"
Hearing Mei Xue's voice, the two stopped struggling.
Originally, Anwen said that his sister-in-law was at his house, but Anshan didn't believe it. His sister-in-law hated going to other people's houses the most, so how could she go to his house?
"See, I told you my sister-in-law must be at home."
An Wen was speechless. He had just heard his wife say in the morning that she would ask her sister-in-law to come over to visit them later.
"Sister-in-law, look what we brought back for you." An Shan was only a little naughty in front of Mei Xue.
"I smell peaches, right? Are the peaches on the mountain ripe?" Mei Xue didn't have a good grasp of the seasons and she had no idea when each thing would be ripe.
Don’t mention it, having five senses is good.
"Yes, sister-in-law, look, these peaches are so fragrant." Anshan took out the biggest, softest and reddest peach from his hand as if he was presenting a treasure.
Mei Xue wasn't going to be polite with him and took it directly.
"Really? It smells delicious. Shuangshuang, stop working and come and eat." He didn't forget to shout to Li Shuangshuang.
Would Li Shuangshuang not eat? Her man is still standing here.
Li Shuangshuang's belly is not small now. She is more than six months pregnant and looks like a watermelon, big and round.
I often hear Aunt Xilian say that if the first child is a daughter, she may be afraid of putting pressure on Li Shuangshuang.
In rural areas, there is a certain preference for boys over girls.
But it’s not that serious. After giving birth to a daughter, the worst that can happen is that you can have another one.
Generally, a family will have two children, and the old people say this is called having companionship.
They poured two baskets of peaches onto the ground. They tasted really good.
Seeing so many fruits, Mei Xue's heart skipped a beat and she thought of something.
"Anshan Anwen, are there many fruits in the back mountain?" If so, there will be good wine to drink at home, but it will take a little longer.
"Not many. We only visited a few peach trees. We haven't visited the loquat trees and plum trees yet. But the plum trees have also produced quite a few fruits." An Wen replied.
"Well, it's almost bending the tree."
Hearing this, Mei Xue was happy, "If you two have nothing to do recently, help me pick all the fruits. Also, help me go to town to buy two large jars. The bigger the better."
Mei Xue is a little excited.
"Ah." The two were a little confused. "Are we going now?" Anshan asked with some embarrassment.
"Well, it's best to go now. If the two of you are tired of picking, then ask someone else to pick all the ripe fruits." Mei Xue saw An Shan's embarrassment, "An Shan, you don't have to rush. Don't go to the town. Just let your brother An Wen go."
An Shan felt a little embarrassed when he heard this, "Sister-in-law, my mother can't leave me, I, I..."
"I know. Don't think too much. Just help me pick the fruits when you are free. Of course, you will get paid." Mei Xue didn't intend to let them do hard labor, so she would not give them less than what they deserved.
"Sister-in-law, I'm going to get angry if you say that." An Shan and An Wen immediately stopped working when they heard about the wages. "Picking fruit is not a big deal, why talk about wages? It's too formal."
Seeing how angry they were, Mei Xue smiled and said, "Okay, I won't charge you any money, but I'll treat you to a meal later. However, you have to cook for yourself."
After resting for a while, Anshan and Anwen went to the back mountain again.
Mei Xue doesn't plan to wash these fruits, as they taste best in their original state.
No one was hired and it took the two of them three days to pick all the ripe fruits.
As for the jars and other things, I asked Uncle Zhengnan to bring them back during the market.
Each jar can hold at least 100 kilograms of fruit, but unfortunately, there are too many fruits and not enough space in the jars.
There were still some unripe fruits, so Mei Xue asked He Zhengnan to bring back five more large jars for her next time he went to the market.
Looking at these large vats in the yard, Mei Xue felt for the first time that she was very wise. The old house was the perfect place to store the things she needed.
Throughout September, all the fruits in the back mountain, except for plums, were collected and filled five large jars. Two large jars weighing 100 kilograms were also left empty at home. As there was nothing to do with the plum blossoms during the snowy season, all the fruits were used to make plum wine.
This year, with the addition of Ancheng and Anshan, everyone brewed plum wine together, but Meixue did not add space water to it.
Anyway, the plum trees on the mountains are all grown with space water.
Before the fruits were ripe, the animals ran here fearlessly.
This is a good deal for Anshan and Anwen.
The two of them were not the kind of people who would eat alone, so when Boss Qian came, after they sold their food, they directly took out a hundred yuan to improve everyone's food.
Where to eat?
Of course it’s at An Wen’s house, because his house is the closest, so it’s very convenient for both Mei Xue and Li Shuangshuang.
He Zhengting even cried during this dinner, but no one said anything after hearing his confession.
In the end, Anshan told him to stop drinking and helped the man back.
Aunt Ting’s waist can’t be used, and she needs at least a year to recover before she can move again.
She also watched Anshan's changes with red eyes, and thanked everyone one by one.
Aunt Meilian and Aunt Xilian often comforted her about this.
It was Grandma He. She took Xiaoyu back home without even listening.
I have to help him take a bath, change his clothes and so on, as he has to go to school tomorrow.
When Mei Xue came back, Xiaoyu and his grandmother were watching Journey to the West on TV in the living room.
Even though Grandma He scolded him, she felt sorry for Xiaoyu. Look, she didn't even want to snatch the TV from him.
"Grandma Xiaoyu, I'm back."
"Mom." Hearing the voice, Xiaoyu turned around and stood up, "Slow down, let me help you." The small guy stepped forward to support Meixue who was pregnant.
However, as she counted the days, Mei Xue had a feeling that the baby in her belly might not be able to come out until the full month.
