Chapter 41, Unexpected Results
Soon they arrived at their own mountain and found several plum trees.
However, they are not very red yet. Even if they are red, they are all on the sunny side and on the tops of the trees.
Mei Xue got a few and after tasting them she thought they were okay, better than the sweet stuff.
"Grandma, please come back to pick them after a while. They are too tender and sour now." Mei Xue threw the few popped plums in her hand far away.
It's really too sour.
The plums were not ripe and could not be eaten, so I had to carry the empty basket home.
Seeing her grandmother's somewhat lost expression, Mei Xue knew that she was blaming herself. "Grandma, it's still early, let's walk slowly. This is my first time in our mountain. Can you take me for a walk?"
There was no way. Seeing her grandmother blaming herself, Mei Xue felt very uncomfortable. Her good impression of her grandmother was completely destroyed by this incident.
Grandma He knew how to see through Mei Xue's thoughts. "Good child, it's grandma who has wronged you." She felt very uncomfortable.
Normally she never spoke to others, but she never expected that for a few plums she would lose so much face that she would lose decades of her life.
It's like she is holding a grudge against her sister-in-law. It's just some plums. Two days ago, Xilian sent her Xiaoxue some precious jelly. People can't be compared.
"What's the grievance? Grandma, let's plant some plum trees next to the tree." Mei Xue is also a competitive person. She is used to being self-reliant and doesn't feel uncomfortable at all.
It's just that she didn't want her grandmother to suffer.
"Well, grandma will dig some plum trees for you, so that we will have enough to eat next year." Grandma He is also a strong-willed person.
So the two of them found a few small plum trees on the mountain, dug up the plums and took them back. At this time of year, Grandma He had no idea whether the plum trees could survive.
Judging from her behavior, I'm afraid she really thinks she will have plums to eat next year.
While digging the plum tree, Meixue's habit started to play tricks on him again, and he looked around.
Soon she made a new discovery.
"Grandma, look." He pointed to a low place on the mountain and called softly.
Because there were a few very familiar pheasants there, with shiny feathers, very eye-catching.
Grandma He looked in the direction Mei Xue pointed and immediately saw the pheasant in the low-lying area. "It's really beautiful."
"Grandma, don't move here, I'll be back soon." Mei Xue was so excited.
The backpack on her back could not stop her steps. She approached the pheasant quickly and silently like a gust of wind.
It was not until the three or two pheasants had all fallen to the ground that Grandma He reacted, "This girl, isn't she afraid of being scratched by those thorns?" There was surprise in her eyes and heartache in her tone.
When Mei Xue saw the three pheasants she had shot, she immediately shouted to her grandmother from a low place: "Grandma, look, I shot them, I shot them." Her face was full of excitement, as if she had shot them for the first time.
"I see, I see. Go slowly. There are thorns over there. Be careful not to get your hands scratched." Grandma He also put the backpack on her back and put three or two plum trees in it.
Each grain is as tall as the basket.
A pointed head pops up and flutters in the wind.
"Grandma, don't come down. I'll be there soon." There is no way down the mountain, and there are thorns everywhere. Mei Xue is worried about her grandma.
Mei Xue moved quickly. After putting the pheasant away, she ran to her grandmother and said, "Grandma, look." She took out the pheasant and showed it to her grandmother as if she was presenting a treasure.
Looking at the three fat pheasants, Grandma He's face was full of smiles. "I'm still very useful, Xiao Xuezhong. These pheasants are very lively and it's usually difficult to catch them. You can hit three of them at once, not bad."
Xiaoxue told her that she was very strong, and Grandma He also had some knowledge, so she was quite accepting of some of Xiaoxue's skills.
"This one is for grandma to make soup. She drinks the soup and I eat the meat. This one is for stir-frying peppers. Grandma likes it, but she can't eat too much. The rest are mine..." Mei Xue immediately made arrangements.
Grandma He was so amused that she couldn't stop smiling. Not only that, her previous gloom also disappeared in the joy of getting three pheasants.
"Okay, I'll give it all to you. I won't give it away this time. Let's go home and stew some chicken." Grandma He said with a doting look on her face.
After returning home, Mei Xue started to boil water to pluck the feathers and trim the chickens because they were going to have lunch.
Plus, the weather is too hot and it won’t last long.
It would be better to cook it into a dish and hang it in the well. It can be kept for several days. Besides, how can it be kept for several days with her around?
If she ate as much as she wanted, she could finish it in one day, but in order not to scare her grandmother, she had to be more restrained.
Mei Xue was thinking in her mind.
At noon, fragrance wafted from Aunt He San's house again.
An Liang, who was more familiar with Mei Xue and Grandma He, ran over with a bowl in his hand in the middle of the day like a cat seeing fish.
I was afraid of Third Grandma before, but now, there is nothing to be afraid of, because Third Grandma is very kind.
Mei Xue's meal was just served. Because it was hot at noon and of course, she had some thoughts in mind, Mei Xue placed the dining table directly under the osmanthus tree.
The sweet osmanthus flowers are in full bloom and the fragrance has already begun to spread. Eating under them is a unique experience.
Seeing the person coming, Grandma He laughed and scolded, "You've got a dog's nose." She opened the gate and let An Liang in.
"Third grandma, what delicious food did my sister-in-law make today? It smells so good that I can smell it even when I'm at home." An Liang said he was not afraid, but he was more or less a little nervous in his heart.
"You can already smell it, but you don't know what to eat? Come and sit down." She picked up a piece of chicken from the bowl and put it in his bowl, "Eat it."
When Mei Xue brought out the meal from the kitchen, she saw An Liang sitting at the table. It was true that Mei Xue accepted An Liang as her little brother, but the prerequisite was that he could not snatch food from her.
She gave them all the chicken yesterday, and now she wants it again today, huh.
"What are you doing here?" Mei Xue said with a hint of displeasure in her tone.
When Grandma He saw her own Xiaoxue like that, she immediately laughed, "He was born in the Year of the Dog, and he came here by smelling the scent."
An Liang really likes his cousin's wife. Seeing the unhappiness on her face, he knows in his heart that his sister-in-law must not really not want to see him.
"Haha, it's because my sister-in-law's cooking is so delicious." An Liang said with a flattering look.
So, the lunch for two became a trip for three.
When Aunt Meilian didn't see her son come back after dinner, she came to look for him, and saw her son eating a lot. It was so embarrassing.
"You little rascal, you've eaten all your third grandmother's meat, let me see how you can compensate her." Aunt Meilian walked in without being asked.
When An Liang saw his mother, he felt a little scared, "Mom, Third Grandma asked me to eat it."
Grandma He also put down her chopsticks and said jokingly, "He didn't eat my meat. The old woman's meat is not for him to eat."
Mei Xue called out "Aunt Mei Lian" and made room for her to sit down.
I started to clear the dishes on the table.
Why is my timing always wrong????????????
