Chapter 246: Honest Old Men
When everyone learned that Boss Zhao had arranged for his father to live in the village in his old age, they welcomed him very much.
In this way, will the villagers still be afraid that the bosses will not buy the vegetables they grow in the future?
Each one is very enthusiastic.
Mei Xue had just returned from the hot spring when she ran into Uncle Zhao and three old men coming up.
"Uncle Zhao, Grandpa Zhao, how did you get here?" It's such a windy day, you're not afraid of the cold.
"Xiaoxue, where are you?" When Mr. Zhao saw Xiaoxue, his eyes were glued to her and he noticed that she was covered in mud.
"Oh, I just came out of the hot spring. Please come in first. It's windy at first." Mei Xue opened the door and let everyone in.
"Is there really a hot spring in Xiaoxue?" Uncle Zhao hasn't been here for a long time.
"Yes. If you have time, you can go in and take a look after lunch. Uncle Shi and the others are here." When talking about those old men, Mei Xue's eyes were fierce.
Let Mr. Zhao be scared.
But when he thought about the personalities of his good friends, he felt that if it were him, he would have chased them away long ago.
"Xiaoxue, I'm sorry to bother you with my visit this time." Mr. Zhao's purpose was very clear.
Mei Xue nodded. It would make no difference if she drove one sheep or two or three.
"Just pay the food expenses for your family." Humph, you eat her food and use her things, but you don't pay. No way.
"That's possible." Uncle Zhao agreed with a smile.
After entering the house, Uncle Zhao introduced the old couple of Chinese medicine practitioners to Mei Xue.
After knowing that both of them were Chinese medicine practitioners, Mei Xue's eyes lit up, but it was not very obvious.
"Grandpa Mu and Grandma Mu should just live at Aunt Xilian's house. We don't have any extra rooms here." Mei Xue had a headache. There were more and more people in the family, but the house was obviously not enough.
"It's okay, it's okay, we can live anywhere." The old man and the old lady are very easy to talk to.
However, the two of them looked very weak. Mei Xue felt that it would be more accurate to say that they were patients rather than doctors.
"It's only temporary. After the house in the back is repaired, you can all live in the back mountain." There are so many houses over there, thanks to Master Zhang.
Only then did Mei Xue sincerely thank Mr. Zhang.
Grandma He also came out of the house with the children, "Xiaoxue, go boil some water. It's windy, drink something hot." As she spoke, she put the children next to the firebox.
Mei Xue and Grandma He had already separated out an area there for the two children to play.
He is almost one year old, and now is the time for him to learn to walk. I don’t know why, but some children in the village who are younger than us can walk by themselves.
"Thank you, Aunt He." Uncle Zhao said.
"You, don't be polite, come in." It was cold, but it was not time to warm yourself by the fire, but it was windy outside.
Everyone got to know each other again. Grandma He had some favorable impression on Grandma Mu. Well, sometimes people just have to get along with each other based on their liking for each other.
The two of them hit it off.
After knowing that Mei Xue had arranged for the people to live in Xilian's house, Grandma He immediately made a decision and let them live at home. After all, there was another room downstairs.
Just let the two old people live there, but Mr. Zhao was directly driven by Grandma He to the old house next door.
Mr. Zhao was not angry. He was just having fun with a group of old friends.
Mei Xue just smiled when she found out. She wasn't afraid of anyone discovering the secret under the bed anyway. The things inside were basically all in her space. Even if there were any, they were all unimportant things, such as bowls and some calligraphy and paintings.
There were four more people at home at noon. Mei Xue felt very distressed when she was cooking, and she was always worried about the food and vegetables she had saved.
Forget about the meat and vegetables, since Uncle Zhao brought them back anyway, but she was reluctant to give up the rice.
If possible, she would like to drink porridge every day.
For someone who has been short of food for decades, rice is her life.
"Forget it, just do it. I can just eat two more bowls later." Mei Xue comforted herself.
Before lunch was ready, a group of old men came back, with their hands behind their backs and their mouths wide open.
Mei Xue got angry when she saw them and didn't want to pay any attention to them.
When the old men saw Mr. Zhao coming, they were all very happy and started to show off in front of him.
Even though the Zhao family discovered this girl first, they moved in before him.
Grandma He took Grandma Mu to play with the two children.
Grandma Mu is the kind of person who speaks very little. She won’t speak unless you ask her.
She's used to it. What happened back then left too deep a mark in her heart, so she has to speak less in order to save her life.
Fortunately, she and her husband survived.
It caused hardship to several children, and each of them suffered a lot.
"Sister, your body is too weak. You need to take good care of yourself." Grandma He is very generous to the people she likes.
"Thank you, grandma. This is an old problem and it can't be cured in a short time." Grandma Mu liked this old lady very much. Knowing that she was really thinking about her, she smiled and replied.
"Then make up for it slowly. Life is better now, so you can make up for it a little bit." As someone who has lived through that time, Grandma He knows that everyone's experience is different.
"Don't worry, Xiaoxue is a good cook. Let her give you some good nourishment." She believed in Xiaoxue.
"Then I'll have to trouble grandma and Xiaoxue." The first time she saw Xiaoxue, she felt that she had a clear and upright look in her eyes. She was a good girl, and the grandma was blessed.
"It's no trouble. It's not a big deal." Grandma He waved her hand indifferently.
Fortunately, Mei Xue didn't see her grandmother's appearance, otherwise she would have suspected whether Grandma Mu had any relationship with her.
Looking at her selfless spirit, it's really a loss of food.
At lunch, the old men blackmailed Mei Xue for wine again, but she really had no wine, so the old men actually went on strike and said they would not eat.
Mei Xue was so happy about this that she said directly, "If you don't want to eat it, don't come here to eat it again."
There was nothing they could do. Since Mei Xue was stronger in actions than in people, they could only admit defeat. They all started to fight with Mei Xue, and they would take whatever Mei Xue ate.
Mei Xue was so angry that she laughed.
If it weren't for their age, she would have taken action long ago.
But if she can't do it with her hands, she can still do it with her mouth.
He simply took out a large bowl and took away half of his favorite dishes.
The old men were so angry that they couldn't even enjoy their meals anymore.
After the meal, Mei Xue asked her grandmother to cook less in the future, saying that people should eat less when they get older.
Grandma He agreed readily.
Finally, the old men faced reality and behaved themselves.
It really opened the eyes of Mr. Mu and Mr. Zhao who had just arrived.
Finally someone can control these people.
Time passed quickly, and the He family celebrated the first birthday of their two children. Although there was no custom of holding a big celebration here, close relatives would come to give gifts.
For example, a piece of cloth, a basket of eggs, a pair of shoes, etc.
