Chapter 337, Fruit Wine
My mother-in-law is not a nosy person. She is honest, hardworking and doesn't talk much. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get along very well.
Sometimes it makes Aunt Zhengsong jealous.
Of course, these are what the villagers said, and what Mei Xue and Grandma He heard.
Xiangyang, who got married before Li Fei, has already become a father. Now he has brought his wife to Mingcheng and is living a happy life.
Of course, He Zhengbei was responsible for the plowing of the fields. When Mei Xue had nothing to do, she took Xiaopeng and the others to the fields to catch eels.
"Mom, can I go to the fields?" Xiaopeng and Xiaocheng were very excited on the way to the fields.
They have played hammering fish and flipping crabs in the summer, but they have never gone to the fields to catch eels.
"Don't worry, my sister-in-law is very powerful. There is no one stronger than her in the village." Xiaowei looked at his sister-in-law with admiration.
I was kind enough to tell Xiaopeng and Xiaocheng what happened that year.
He was not afraid of being embarrassed at all and even talked about the fact that he stole eels.
The two little guys were dumbfounded after hearing this, "Uncle Xiaowei, you actually stole mom's things, you are a bad boy." Xiaopeng's face was full of indignation.
Xiao Cheng also felt that Uncle Xiao Wei was bad, so he immediately let go of his hand, "Bad uncle."
Mei Xue held the bucket in her hand and knocked on the little head of the two in a bad mood, "Your uncle Xiaowei has corrected it a long time ago. You can't say that. It's not terrible for people to make mistakes. What's terrible is knowing the mistakes and not correcting them."
"That's right, that's right." Xiao Wei was a little guilty at first, but after hearing what his sister-in-law said, he became more confident: "I knew I was wrong a long time ago, and I never did anything bad again. I haven't even stolen eggs from the neighbor's house."
Mei Xue was speechless, "Can you be more promising? Stealing eggs? Of course I can." This kid.
"Oh, Uncle Xiaowei, have you ever stolen eggs from other people's homes? Whose eggs?" Xiao Cheng's eyes lit up. He thought this was very funny.
Xiaopeng grabbed his brother's hand and said, "Don't mess around, or you'll get spanked by mom." He whispered in his brother's ear.
Could it be that Mei Xue couldn’t hear it?
"Xiaowei, walk faster. If you are slow your dad will have finished plowing the fields in a while." There has been water in the fields for several days. It will be difficult to turn over the eels once it becomes muddy.
Today is destined to be a day of harvest. After a year of growth, the eels in the field are all fat and strong.
Mei Xue didn’t want the small ones, and only took those that were larger than three taels.
It was a big bucket, and her family couldn’t finish it, so she sent some to Grandma Meng and the others.
Finally, the whole bucket of eels was divided up.
Some people are envious, but this kind of thing is something that both parties are willing to do, so envy is not the way to go.
After the fields are plowed, they need to be fattened, and when the rice is harvested, there will be a bumper harvest of eels.
"Grandma, let's eat eels and loaches tonight, and stir-fry some vegetables." Mei Xue arranged dinner.
"Sure, I'll do whatever you say. But Xiaoxue, do you have any wine in the cellar of your old house? The fragrance is coming out." I don't know if it's the wind direction these days, but the fragrance is wafting through the house every day.
When Mei Xue heard her grandma talking about wine, she seemed to remember the fruit wine she had brewed for two years.
"Grandma, you watch the fire. I'll go over and take a look." She also smelled the fragrance, but didn't think of it coming from here.
Seeing Xiaoxue's anxious look, there was nothing he could do to her: "Be careful."
Mei Xue had already run out of the yard, and when she went to the yard of the old house, she met Grandma Mu.
"Grandma Mu." Seeing people, Mei Xue slowed down her pace.
"Why are you running so fast, kid?" Grandma Mu's vegetable garden was next to the old house, and she was just coming back from picking vegetables.
"I'll go to the old house to see Grandma Mu is preparing dinner." Mei Xue said very naturally, as if she was not the anxious person before.
"Yes, your Grandpa Mu went to the second team today, and we don't know when he will be back. Alas." Life in the village is easier, but she is always running around, and she is also worried about her husband.
Mei Xue was stunned. No wonder she didn't see Grandpa Mu calling Xiaopeng and the others today. It turned out that he had gone out.
"It's okay. If he doesn't come back by dinner time, let Xiaowei and Uncle Zhengnan go look for him." Mei Xue was used to the old man because he often went around to see the doctor.
But Grandma Mu is worried every day.
"I think so too. Hey, tell me, when can this village hire a doctor in the mountains? We can't always go to pick up your Grandpa Mu when he's sick. It's too far."
Knowing that she was worried about Grandpa Mu, Mei Xue smiled and said nothing, listening to Grandma Mu vent. However, they did need to hire one more village doctor, as it would be inconvenient to go up and down the mountain.
"Just tell the village chief about this. He can't just ignore the teams on the mountain." Mei Xue suggested.
"Why didn't you say it? But those people say that your grandfather Mu's medical skills are good, but your grandfather Mu is so confused by two cups of horse urine." Alas, what can I do if my man is not ambitious enough.
"Okay, okay, I won't talk to you anymore. Go and get busy. I have to go find your Uncle Zhengbei after dinner is ready." Grandma Mu waved her hand, opened the back door of the yard and walked in.
Mei Xue also pushed open the door of the old house.
He didn't even open the front door and went straight to the backyard.
The cellar is in the backyard, against the mountain.
There was a lock on the door. Mei Xue took out the key and opened it. When she walked to the door, she smelled a strong fragrance.
She knew that the fruit wine was successful.
When she was brewing the wine, she should have poured a cup of space water into each jar.
Now it seems, “good stuff.”
The smell inside is stronger and the wine is mellower. If someone who doesn't drink comes in, they will probably get drunk.
Check out the first few jars that were sealed. When you open them, the smell is so mouth-watering.
Mei Xue took out a cup of water from the space without saying a word.
When the wine goes down your throat, that taste.
"It smells so good and tastes so good." Of course, when Mei Xue thought of good things, she thought of grandma first. Without saying a word, she picked up a jar of wine and walked out.
The alcohol content of these fruit wines is not high, but the flavor is strong and mellow, and it doesn’t feel like fruit wine at all when you drink it.
"Grandma will definitely like it." After locking the door, Mei Xue walked quickly towards home.
When passing by Grandma Mu's house, she thought about bringing something over to Grandpa Mu later.
Anyway, the group of people in the back mountain have left, so there is no need to worry about sharing them out. There is also Mr. Zhang, so some things need to be sent to him as well.
During the Chinese New Year, He Anyong came back and wanted to take his grandfather to Shenzhen, but the old man didn't want to, saying that the village was very nice and comfortable to live in.
Ever since the old men left, Mr. Zhang has been hanging out with Mr. Mu.
Calmness is calmness, and victory lies in peace of mind.
He Zhengbei's family treated Mr. Zhang as their own grandfather.
"Grandma, grandma, good stuff, good stuff." Mei Xue was a little happy today and shouted loudly towards the yard.
"What good stuff?" Grandma He came out of the kitchen and met Xiaoxue.
"Wow, it smells so good." That smell: "That's the smell, Xiaoxue, what kind of wine is this?"
I forgot the time last night????????????
