Chapter 279: The Old Men Work
So Mr. Shi repeated Mei Xue's words again. After listening to them, the four old men squatted down and started moving without thinking.
Mei Xue rolled her eyes, "What a bunch of drunkards."
Grandma He watched them go crazy the whole time, but there was really no wine left at home. "Xiaoxue, do you want to make some more wine this year?"
Seeing her grandmother's expectant eyes, Mei Xue smiled and said, "Okay, let's make some plum wine and wine at home this year."
However, if grandma drinks it, you still have to be more careful.
The house was recently renovated and Mr. Zhang was exhausted. He lies down at home every day to rest.
He Anyong had also been studying at home with Mr. Zhang.
The more he learned, the more he felt his own shortcomings, and he had an urge to go to school.
However, Mr. Zhang did not agree. Instead, he found some books from somewhere and let him read them himself.
After all, He Anyong went to junior high school.
I can still recognize the words.
When there was nothing to do at his sister-in-law's place, he studied at home with peace of mind, and went to the back mountain in the morning and evening, which provided the family with the annual income.
He Anwei finds some tender grass for the fish pond every day. Generally speaking, the two brothers now have something to do.
The old men wanted to make wine. They had fruits, but no wine yet. Mei Xue shouted directly down the mountain.
"Xiaowei, Xiaowei, come up the mountain quickly."
As soon as He Anwei heard the sound, he ran straight up the mountain and reached the top in no time.
"Sister-in-law, yes, is there anything wrong?" he asked while panting.
Mei Xue looked at him like this, patted him on the back, and took out a water bottle from a backpack.
"Drink some water first."
He Anwei was not polite and opened the bottle of water and drank it directly, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
"The old men want to make wine. You can take the money to buy some wine later. You can ask the old men for the money yourself." Mei Xue said with a smile, pointing at the people picking loquats on the side.
"Ah, sister-in-law, aren't you going to stop making wine for them?" He Anwei was a little overwhelmed.
"They were in poor health at that time, so we didn't let them drink too much. Now they are fine, so it's okay to drink a little." Alcohol is not a good thing after all, and drinking too much is not good for you.
But drinking less can still alleviate their vascular disease.
"Then sister-in-law, can my family brew some for you?" There is an old man in his family.
Mei Xue glanced at him and asked, "Do you want to brew some for Mr. Zhang?" Mei Xue asked what she was thinking.
"Yes, the old man also likes this." An Wei touched his head a little embarrassedly, "But, sister-in-law, if you think it's not good, I won't brew it."
"It's okay, you can brew it if you want. But we plan to brew loquats, so you have to pick them yourself." Mei Xue pointed at a group of old men squatting on the ground.
"No problem. There are a lot of loquats behind my house. I'll ask my brother to pick them later." His brother has become a fool from reading so much recently.
"Well, we won't brew it until tomorrow, so there's no rush. But you have to bring it up tomorrow so we can learn together." Mei Xue didn't plan to do it herself.
The old men had no idea that they were being plotted against again.
He Anwei asked the old men for money to buy wine and went to the house of the drunkard uncle in the village.
Counting the money in his hand, He Anwei felt that he might have to go to the next village to ask today.
"These old men are really hardworking. They don't feel sorry for spending so much money." There was at least two hundred yuan in his hand. It was the first time for He Anwei to take out so much money. His heart was beating very fast.
The ripe fruits on the mountain were almost all picked due to the damage caused by the plum snow.
After keeping some for herself, she took them all out and shared them with several families.
They were all wild fruits and not worth much. Those that He Anwei had picked earlier had already been packaged in the cellar.
Like plums and grapes, they are not ripe yet, it’s still early.
In the afternoon, He Anwei felt that he could go for a fortune-teller because the alcoholic uncle’s house really didn’t have enough wine.
An Liang also woke up in the afternoon and went straight to the He family's yard.
"Sister-in-law, I'm back." An Liang's voice was a little loud, shocking everyone to look at him.
Grandma He ran out of the house, "Are you going to die? Why are you making so much noise? Do you want a beating?" The stick in her hand was already ready.
An Liang was terrified when he saw the stick in Third Grandma's hand. "Sister-in-law, help me! Third Grandma is going to beat me to death."
Mei Xue rolled her eyes at him and said, "Xiao Peng and Xiao Cheng just went to bed." Today was too exciting. The two children played until very late. After finally coaxing them to sleep, this shout...
Mei Xue shook her head, "Good luck to you."
So, Mei Xue saw a scene again that she hadn't seen for a long time, and she felt very nostalgic.
"Big sister, do you need help?" The old men all started to get eager.
When they were at home, they taught their sons and grandchildren in the same way. Now they are far away and have not been able to move around for a long time.
"No need, get away." Grandma He started to retort.
Grandma He didn't stop until He Anliang was hit several times with a stick.
"Humph, if you come in shouting next time, I will definitely skin you alive," Grandma He threatened.
"No, I don't dare anymore, Third Grandma, I won't dare to do it again, oooh, it hurts so much." An Liang felt that he was so unlucky. How could he have run into Third Grandma at home?
Looking at An Liang being beaten up, everyone laughed unkindly, "It's okay, next time I come after you, I will definitely not beat you." Grandpa Hua said nostalgically.
The old men all nodded in agreement.
He Anliang was not stupid. Seeing their eyes shining, he knew there was nothing he couldn't understand. So when he saw Shi Weichen, he looked sympathetic.
Shi Weichen rolled his eyes at him and said, "Don't look at me like that. I've never been beaten since I was a child." He felt a little uneasy.
An Liang's face was full of disbelief, "You are lying. I saw Uncle Shi scolding you last time." An Liang looked at him as if he were a fool.
Shi Weichen couldn't bear it anymore, "Heh, people who are beaten have no human rights. You, have no right to look at me like that." After saying that, Shi Weichen turned and went into the house.
He thought it would be better for him to run away first, otherwise those childhood memories might be dug out by him.
No one paid attention to their conversation, but was more interested in Meixue's winemaking.
"Xiaoxue, this thing will rot if you touch it, how can you wash it?" These are ripe loquats, they will rot if you wash them.
Mei Xue took a look and said, "If you don't mind, you don't have to wash it." It can't be washed. If it gets rotten, the juice inside will flow out if you blow on it, and the taste will definitely not be that good.
"I don't mind." Their waists were already hurting from taking it off, and now they have to wash it again. They are old and really can't bear it.
"Then don't wash it. Just leave it there and brew it when Xiaowei comes back." Mei Xue shook her head.
Of course, Aunt Yong cooked dinner again. When she learned that her sons would come to dinner, she was very happy, so she cooked more dishes that her two sons liked.
