Chapter 35, Sending Someone Away
Seeing the expression on Xiaoxue's face, Grandma He was amused, "Haha, that's all you can do."
"Well, that's all I can achieve." Mei Xue was not ashamed but proud of it.
"Okay, okay, if you want to eat chicken, I'll catch some chickens in a couple of days and raise them. I'll give them all to you during the New Year." Grandma He hadn't been so happy in a long time.
In the past, she was the only one at home and had to rely on herself for all her joys and sorrows. Now, with Xiaoxue by her side, she feels that life couldn’t be better.
"Really?" Mei Xue's eyes lit up when she heard this. "Really not selling it?"
"Haha, I won't sell it. I won't sell it." Grandma He couldn't close her mouth with laughter.
"So grandma, when are you going to catch them? Can I go with you?"
Mei Xue was quite close to her own rations.
"Wait, I've already asked for news, we have to wait for some time." The last time she came back from the market, she asked for news in the village, and people agreed, but she was still young, so she would have to wait for some time.
Hearing that grandma had already said hello, Mei Xue's previously lost heart slowly came back to normal, "Grandma is the best."
"You little girl, you're just sweet-talking. Why don't you go and cook?" Grandma He scolded with a smile.
Mei Xue was not slow. Today she had chicken, and pheasant was the most nutritious soup, it just took a little longer.
She also fried the small fish in oil. I have to say, the fish from this stream are really delicious. Of course, she couldn't name any of these fish.
But after listening to what An Liang and the others said, it seemed that it was not a fish that made any sound.
At about six o'clock, Mei Xue had prepared dinner. There were three dishes on the table, fried fish with peppers, a big bowl of chicken soup, and a green vegetable.
"Grandma, it's time to eat." Mei Xue shouted to her grandmother who was feeding the pigs in the back.
Grandma He now treasures this pig very much and goes over to take a look at it from time to time.
When he heard Mei Xue calling him, he immediately came out from behind, "So fast."
After seeing the dishes on the table, Grandma He couldn't stop smiling, "Xiaoxue's cooking skills are really good." The taste is very delicious.
Seeing Xiaoxue serving rice, Grandma He took a medium bowl and took out some of the fried dishes.
"Xiaoxue, take these to your great-grandmother. Her teeth are still fine. Here, take them to your great-grandmother." Grandma He filled two bowls with fish soup and chicken soup respectively.
There is more soup than meat in the bowl of chicken soup.
Grandma He is not the kind of person who would suffer a loss. She gave it to her sister-in-law as a favor, not for Zhengting's family to eat.
The little food at home is not enough for Xiaoxue to eat alone, and she can't bear to give it away.
Looking at the chicken in the bowl, Mei Xueru, just as Grandma He had expected, showed a look of reluctance.
"You kid, go quickly." Knowing that Xiaoxue was reluctant to let her go, she would feel bad if she didn't go. So, forget it, let her go quickly.
Mei Xue had no choice. She could ignore anyone's words, but she would definitely listen to her grandmother's words. "Oh, I'll go right away."
Mei Xue's face didn't look very good along the way.
When she arrived at Aunt Ting's house, the family was having dinner and they were talking about Mei Xue at the table.
As soon as he saw the person coming, he immediately stopped talking.
"Why is Xiaoxue here?" Aunt Ting came out of the kitchen and asked.
When she saw the bowl in her hand, Auntie Ting smiled and said, "What is this for?"
Mei Xue was not happy at first, but she forced a smile and said, "Aunt Ting, grandma asked me to bring some food to great grandma." After saying that, she handed the bowl directly to Aunt Ting.
Then he turned around and ran home.
In the eyes of others, Mei Xue was shy and embarrassed.
In fact, Mei Xue was afraid that she would snatch it back later.
"Why are you running, kid?" Aunt Ting was frightened when she saw the man running away...
I brought the dishes back home and looked at the dishes on the table. I have to say, they are not as good as these.
"Mom, this is what Xiaoxue brought to you. Here you go." Aunt Ting is a filial woman. "Aunt San asked Xiaoxue to bring it to you. This soup smells delicious. You should drink some quickly."
When the grandmother heard that it was her brother and sister-in-law who asked Xiaoxue to deliver it, a light flashed in her eyes unconsciously, "Yes." She took it and was not polite to her daughter-in-law at all.
She understood her brother and sister-in-law well, and if it was for herself, there would definitely be no share for anyone else.
I have been like this since I was young, and I have a very straightforward personality.
When she saw what was in the bowl, she smiled and said, "It seems that Xiaoxue really caught a pheasant."
There was also a bowl on the table, which contained fish fried with chili peppers. The eldest grandmother pushed the fish forward and said, "Try it. Your third grandmother always praises Xiaoxue's cooking skills."
He Zhengting has three children in his family, and his living standard has been average since childhood, but overall, he is still capable of raising his three children until they get married.
"Eat yourselves, and remember to be more filial to your Third Grandma in the future." He Zhengting said as he picked up a fish with chopsticks.
Of He Zhengting's three children, except for the eldest daughter who is married, the other two have not yet started a family. He Anlin is about the same age as He Anze, and He Anshan is only seventeen this year and is still in school.
He Anlin didn't catch up with the good times. When he wanted to go to school, he had no money to go.
So I can only help with the housework at home.
"Dad, we know." Although Third Grandma was fierce, she was still nice to them.
Whenever someone in the village talked nonsense, she would help her family. He Anlin always kept this in mind.
"Dad, I picked a lot of camphor seeds today. I'll send some to Third Grandma later." In fact, he envied Brother Anwen and Anliang. If he had known this today, he would not have gone to chop trees.
If he goes along to fish, maybe he can get a pheasant too.
He Anshan thought.
"Okay, you go and deliver it now. Xiaoxue ran too fast just now." Aunt Ting picked up the bowl and chopsticks and took a bite of the dish made by Xiaoxue. She had to say, it tasted really good.
He Anshan took a bite of rice, his mouth was filled with rice, and he stood up, "I'm going."
Seeing their youngest son so diligent, the whole family laughed.
He Anshan gave away most of the camphor seeds he had picked today, firstly to express his gratitude, and secondly to build a relationship so that his sister-in-law would remember him when good things happened in the future.
He put it in the backpack, picked it up and ran to his third grandmother's house.
When He Anshan came over, Mei Xuezhen was eating chicken. She gave the chicken legs with meat to her grandmother, and ate the ones with less meat herself.
"Grandma, someone is calling you outside." Mei Xue kept talking and glanced at her grandmother.
"I heard it." Grandma He put down her chopsticks, stood up and walked out, "Who is it?"
When they went out, they saw, "It's Anshan, what happened?" Grandma He had a smile on her face. This was because Xiaoxue had come. In the past, she would not even pay attention to them, let alone laugh.
"Third Grandma." Even though he was mentally prepared, Anshan was still a little afraid of her. "These are the camphor seeds I picked on the mountain today. I'm bringing some for you to eat."
After saying that, he put the backpack directly into the yard.
