Chapter 29, Grandma
Since the money from selling chickens and vegetables was still in Mei Xue's hands, the old lady just let her be and didn't say much.
As long as she is happy.
After buying what she needed, Mei Xue also bought two mung bean cakes for the old lady. They were sweet and not expensive.
Mei Xue had no interest in the candies and other things that her grandma mentioned. She didn't like sweet things. She had a strong taste and liked to eat something with a strong flavor.
These sweet candies are not as delicious as going home and stir-frying some peppers and pork.
"Grandma, do you want to buy anything else?" After buying everything, Mei Xue asked her grandma.
Grandma He was reluctant to do so. If Xiaoxue hadn't wanted to buy these things today, she could still use the old ones at home for many years.
"No, no, grandma, I don't need anything." Grandma He shook her hands and almost pulled Mei Xue out.
Carrying their spoils, the two happily walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative. On the side of the road, they came to a noodle shop and ate a bowl of noodles.
This was the first time Mei Xue had eaten this thing and she thought it tasted delicious. In her world, such things had long disappeared and there wasn't even much food left, so who would make rice noodles?
"Grandma, this is delicious, please eat more." Mei Xue put the meat slices from her bowl into her grandma's bowl.
Of course, there were also buns for sale, but these things couldn't be kept for long. Mei Xue didn't plan to buy too much, so she just bought a big meat bun and planned to have it for lunch that night.
Bought six meat buns.
When they came back from shopping, Aunt Meilian had sold all her vegetables and was waiting in the carriage.
"Aunt San is back. It seems she bought a lot of good things today." Not only Aunt Meilian was in the car, but there were other people as well.
When they saw Grandma He coming back, they immediately came up to her and asked.
Grandma He is not a person who likes to show off on weekdays, so she seldom talks about other people's affairs, but today is different.
How could she not say something about such an honorable thing? Seeing that the old lady was in the mood, Mei Xue followed her.
When I got to the car, I saw Aunt Meilian drinking water. I thought she must be hungry, so I took out a bun from the basket and said, "Aunt Meilian, eat quickly. You must be hungry."
Aunt Meilian is not the type to eat other people's food casually, especially after smelling the aroma of meat, she would not respond, "No, I'm not hungry."
"Why are you being so polite to me? Take it quickly and don't let them see it. There are only a few." Mei Xue stuffed the buns directly into Aunt Meilian's hands and said.
Seeing Mei Xue like this, Aunt Meilian was very happy and her eyes were red. Apart from her own family and Third Aunt, she was the first person who cared about her so much.
"Hey, Auntie will listen to Xiaoxue." Aunt Meilian choked up and swallowed the bun in several big bites, for fear of causing trouble for Xiaoxue.
We are all from the same village, so we should be related to each other. It would not be good to give it to anyone, so just eat it quickly.
If you eat the buns too fast, you will choke on them. Seeing Aunt Meilian like this, Meixue quickly handed her water to her and said, "Eat slowly and drink some water." She then gently patted Aunt Meilian on the back.
Mei Xue’s understanding is very likable, even her own children are not so considerate.
Everyone gathered quickly. The sun was very high and there was no place for people to hide from the sun on the carriage. After everyone gathered, An Cheng drove the carriage back to the village.
It was already after noon when we returned to the village. Fortunately, Grandma He and Mei Xue had eaten vermicelli on the street, otherwise they would not have made it to this time.
Get off the car, pay the money, grab your things and rush home. Nothing outside can be as comfortable as home.
When she got home, Mei Xue sorted out the things she had bought and replaced everything that needed to be replaced.
The old towel was also used as a rag. Mei Xue cut it into two pieces with scissors, just the right size.
As soon as Grandma He came back, she went to feed the pigs water, for she was worried that the pigs were having trouble.
After being fed with the pig's space water for some time, its fur is now shiny and its body is getting stronger and stronger, which makes Grandma He very happy.
"Grandma, go to bed soon. You got up too early today. Make up for your sleep." Mei Xue shouted to the back of the house after finishing the work in her hands.
Grandma He listened to the voice and responded cheerfully, "Hey, I'll be there in a minute."
It is true that I got up too early. I need to have a good sleep, otherwise I won’t be able to make it through the afternoon.
Mei Xue boiled some water and took a bath for herself, then slept until around four in the afternoon.
As soon as she woke up, she heard her grandmother talking to someone outside. She listened and realized she didn't recognize the person.
Mei Xue walked out of the house. When she saw the two old ladies under the tree in her yard, she smiled, "Grandma."
"Hey, Xiaoxue is awake. Are you dizzy? If you are, sit down for a while."
"I'm not dizzy. I feel quite energetic."
"Come here quickly, this is your aunt Zhengting's mother-in-law. You call her Grandma. Among the sisters-in-law, there are only two of us left." Grandma He said with a look of regret.
Mei Xue didn't know what the two old ladies were talking about, but from what her grandmother said, she was afraid it was something sad.
"Hello, grandma."
"Good, good, good, Xiaoxue is a capable person." The grandmother is not blind or deaf, and her heart is very clear. She has seen and heard everything Xiaoxue has done recently.
I am happy for my younger brother and sister.
It would be great if Zheng Jing's family was like this too. There wouldn't be any need for them to quarrel at home every day and make a fool of themselves.
"You go and do your work. I'll talk to your great-grandmother." The elder sister-in-law came to him to complain, and she didn't want the younger generations to laugh at her.
The grandmother also smiled and nodded, "That's right, go and do your thing, I'll talk to your grandmother."
Mei Xue didn't ask any more questions, just nodded and went into the kitchen.
Take out the purchased meat and bones, wash them, boil the oil or stew them. Dinner will be ready soon, so it's time to get started.
After Mei Xue left, the grandmother sighed again, "If only the daughter-in-law of Anhua's family was like Xiaoxue, she's such a troublemaker." Anhua is the son of Zhengjing's family.
He is two years older than Anze and they have been married for two years. In the beginning, the couple loved each other very much.
But I don’t know what’s going on recently. The couple quarrels every day, and they almost went back to my mother’s house.
"What does she want to do?" Grandma He asked with a frown.
"What else can you do? You want Anhua to go out to work, saying there's money everywhere out there, so go pick up some." The grandmother said with a sarcastic look on her face.
"Haha, you're thinking too much. How can she, who hasn't even graduated from elementary school, find a good job?" You know, finding a job nowadays is not that easy.
Either you have connections, or you have skills, or you have to have a diploma. What can a rural couple with nothing do?
"Yes, I told her that, but she just wouldn't listen. She even scolded Anhua for being useless every day." The grandmother really loves her grandson. "If he was useful, he wouldn't have married her."
Well, if you have the ability, everyone would want to marry a good wife.
"Did she hear some gossip from someone outside?" Otherwise, she wouldn't have made such a big fuss.
The great grandmother shook her head and said, "I don't know. I asked Anhua, but he wouldn't tell me. He just keeps working hard every day. It's really frustrating." The great grandmother was also very angry with her eldest grandson.
"Forget it, forget it, just let him worry about it. You are not young anymore, it's time to enjoy your life. Why do you still worry so much? If you are upset, you can come up and live in the quietness of the Zhengting family." Grandma He didn't want to say anything more.
