Chapter 37, Past Events
As for Grandma He, not long after Mei Xue left, the eldest grandmother came over.
"Sister-in-law." Grandma called out from outside.
Third Grandma didn't move at all. She was lighting a fire in the kitchen. She would cook the camphor seeds so that they could be eaten at noon.
"Come in yourself, I'm in the kitchen."
After hearing the sound, the grandmother pushed open the door and walked in.
"What are you doing so early in the morning?" As soon as I came in, I saw her sitting in front of the stove and making a fire.
"Cook camphor seeds and make cakes for Xiaoxue at noon. Xiaoxue doesn't like sweet food very much." Third Grandma put down the tongs and stood up.
"Just sit down. You can't cook this for too long, or it will be hard and not tasty."
When the grandmother saw her like this, she was very envious. She also had grandchildren, but...
No more, no more.
"What are you thinking about? You look like you've eaten shit." When Third Grandma was young, she actually disliked her eldest sister-in-law. She wanted to be the best at everything, but she couldn't do anything right.
If she hadn't given birth to several sons and daughters, she probably wouldn't have been able to live the life she has now.
In addition, after having a conflict with her second daughter-in-law, it was almost the same as breaking off the relationship. Fortunately, the second daughter-in-law had some conscience and never neglected her during the New Year and other festivals.
Speaking of this matter, it is still her sister-in-law's own problem.
Not only does she favor boys over girls, she also likes to put pressure on her daughter-in-law. I don't know what she was thinking at the time.
Don’t you even look at the conditions of the two companies? Can you suppress them?
Now, the second son has moved out, and the couple is living a prosperous life. What about you?
At that time, the eldest son of the Zhengming family was almost harmed, if it weren’t for the quick arrival of the second nephew’s wife’s family.
Thinking of these bad things, Grandma He felt numb.
Fortunately, Xiaoxue came in and her temper improved a little.
"I'm just envious of you." What a shit-eating, still so rude, "I'm really envious of having a granddaughter-in-law as good as Xiaoxue."
Grandma He couldn't stand her behavior. "I don't have granddaughters. If I had granddaughters and they weren't filial to me, it would be your own fault. You don't treat your granddaughters as human beings. Now you know you don't love them anymore, right?"
Grandma He’s got this mouth.
"Life was hard back then, and I was just a little girl, you know..." She knew what her sister-in-law meant, but she also had her own difficulties.
When the old man was still alive, there were many children in the family and the family had not been divided. The family expenses were high and there was already a granddaughter in the family. Alas, forget it, forget it.
"The girl is no longer a member of our family. Haha, now you are jealous of my Xiaoxue. You should know that my Xiaoxue is also a girl. Fortunately, her parents love her. If she met a grandmother like you, I don't know if Xiaoxue would still be there."
Grandma He was frying camphor seeds while arguing with her sister-in-law.
The grandmother may have realized that she had done something wrong back then and had hurt her second son's heart. Over the years, her second son's wife has never returned with her four children.
After being away for so many years, she has never entered this house again.
Grandma He actually likes the personality of her second nephew's wife. If it were her, she would probably resist even more fiercely.
"I can't argue with you, so I won't talk to you about this. Come on, I'll help you." The grandmother rolled her eyes at her younger brother and sister-in-law, rolled up her sleeves and prepared to step forward to help.
There wasn't much to begin with, so why did she need help? "Don't bother, just help me light the fire."
Every family has its own problems, and she is not much better than her elder sister-in-law.
The old man and his son and daughter-in-law are all gone, and she has raised her grandson alone. The hardship she has experienced is something that not everyone can understand.
then···
never mind.
The two old ladies quarreled like children, very childish.
But I didn't dare to hurt the other person too much, so I always kept half of what I said.
Fortunately, the work at hand stopped them from bickering.
With the participation of the grandmother, when Mei Xue came back, all the camphor seeds had been picked out one by one.
After a while, you can mash it and make pancakes.
"Grandma, great-grandma, how did you finish everything?" Mei Xue put down the backpack on her body and immediately asked with concern.
Mainly because she was afraid of hurting her grandmother's eyes.
"Xiaoxue is back. Your grandma and I have nothing to do, so picking this one doesn't strain our eyes." The more the grandma looked at the child, the more she liked him.
It’s just that my family doesn’t have this blessing.
Haha, if it really comes to her family’s turn, I’m afraid she will be the first to jump out and object. After all, Mei Xue is an orphan without a father or a mother now.
Compared to Grandma He, Great Grandma's mind is not that broad. She is just jealous of Grandma He's good life.
Because she is a widower raising her grandson alone, she is somewhat comparative in her heart.
Seeing her life getting better and better, it would be a lie to say I wasn't jealous.
It’s just that she’s not that sour on a normal day.
"It's better not to move. Eye damage is difficult to cure." Mei Xue sat next to Grandma He to rest for a while.
The sun is shining brightly now and she is sweating all over, mainly due to the sun, but she is not really too tired.
"You must be tired. Grandma will get you a glass of water." Grandma He put down the work in her hands and immediately showed concern when she saw Mei Xue sweating profusely.
Mei Xue was not willing to let her grandmother pour water for her. "No, grandma, just sit down. Put these here and I'll get them later." After saying that, Mei Xue planned to go drink some water.
She found that after almost a month here, she had used the space less often than she had in a day in her previous world.
This is really a good sign. She doesn't like to rely on others, even if it is space, she doesn't want to rely too much. It's just that she can't leave that world, because once she leaves, she will face the cruel reality.
But here, the danger level is obviously much lower, she can live well even without using the space.
The water in the space has become a tool for her to grow vegetables and raise pigs.
After drinking some water and waiting for the sweat to subside, Mei Xue began to follow her grandmother's instructions and crush the camphor seeds into a dough bit by bit.
At noon, Grandma He invited Great Grandma to have dinner at her home, and Great Grandma was not polite.
Mei Xue made an extra dish for the three of them to eat, especially since there were two old ladies, so she made an egg soup.
The eggs at home have been almost eaten.
These were the pheasant eggs she brought back yesterday. She kept them all for herself and didn't share any with them.
At the dinner table, grandma ate half a bowl of rice more than usual and kept praising Meixue for her cooking skills.
After hearing this, Grandma He’s face had a few more wrinkles.
After seeing off great-grandma, Mei Xue let her grandmother take a nap. She picked a lot of peppers today. In the afternoon, she washed the peppers and dried them. She could start making chili sauce tomorrow.
"Grandma, go to sleep. I'm going out first."
"Well, you should take a nap at noon, otherwise you will feel tired in the afternoon." Grandma He replied with a smile while lying on the bamboo bed.
Mei Xue also put her grandmother's palm-leaf fan aside, for fear that she would not be able to find it when it was hot.
Mei Xue didn't really want to go to sleep, so she just put the backpack next to the well and started to wash it in the water.
The well water is cool and comfortable.
