Chapter 455: Asking for Servants
When they return to the village, the children can arrange their time freely. They don’t have to be forced to go to Grandpa Wu’s class every day like in Kyoto.
After breakfast, Mei Xue went to inspect her territory. She hadn't been home for many years and she wanted to take a walk.
A stream was developed from the hot spring and flowed directly into the creek.
Everyone would come here to wash clothes and take a bath in the winter. When Mei Xue came, many people in the village would wash clothes here.
Seeing her, they all greeted her with a smile, "Xiaoxue, you're here so early."
"Why do you get up so early after just coming back? Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
Mei Xue responded to their questions one by one and even chatted with them by the water.
Opening the yard that had not been occupied for a long time, Mei Xue looked at the grass growing all over the ground and felt it was a pity.
I also saw that several mountains were surrounded by a wall, and the original leisurely feeling was gone.
“It seems like I’ll have to tear down this wall when I come back to live here in the future.” The view is no longer open.
Walking directly to the last yard, Mei Xue looked at the flower seeds that she had stolen from Grandpa Hua before. Each one was growing very beautifully beside the hot spring water.
In the past, she might have viewed them as wild flowers and weeds, but now it is different. Looking at these gorgeous flowers, Mei Xue’s first reaction is that they are beautiful.
There was no other way. The old man himself had very few of these rare flower species in Kyoto, only one or two or so. She couldn't just pull them out.
After visiting the former residences of several old men, Mei Xue headed home.
He Anze got up just in time, and grandma had cleaned up and went to look at great-grandmother's things.
"You're back, so early in the morning. I wonder why you were out." When Grandma He saw someone coming back, she immediately started to grumble in dissatisfaction.
"I went to the back mountain and everything in the house was fine, except that the yard was full of grass. It looks like it needs to be cleaned up." Mei Xue knew that her grandmother was worried about her.
"It's okay, just let Xiaowei handle it when we leave." Grandma is now using Xiaowei very smoothly.
"Xiaoxue, why don't you free up a house for Xiaowei to live in? It will be more comfortable to live there in the winter." He Anze said while cleaning up the dishes.
Mei Xue thought it was a good idea. Those rooms were empty anyway, so she might as well let Xiaowei live there.
"Also clear out two rooms for Grandma Meng and the others." Grandma He glanced at Xiaoxue and spoke.
But she meant to vacate two rooms, not two houses.
Mei Xue understood immediately: "If Grandma Meng and the others want to live there, they can live in the front yard. Don't touch the old man's yard. I think there are still a lot of things in there."
At the beginning, they probably didn't expect that they would be away for so long.
"Xiaowei can live in the side yard where Xiaoyu and his family live. There's a lot of space there, and when he gets married, he can live there with his wife and children."
"That's a good idea. I'll do as you say." He Anze is always good at being a good guy.
"Well, we happen to live in the same compound with Xiaowei and the others, so Grandma Meng and the others might be willing to come." He turned his head and looked at grandma and said.
Grandma He rolled her eyes at him and said unhappily, "You little bastard, you're everywhere."
He Anze has long been accustomed to his grandmother's attitude. It is really not easy to be a grandson.
"Grandma, are these things for great-grandma?" Looking at the many things on the ground, Mei Xue immediately changed the subject.
"No." As expected, grandma loved Xiaoxue the most. "These are for your grandma Li. Her legs are not good now, so she can't go up the mountain. We will go down the mountain soon. Anze, you can take them to her later."
He Anze nodded: "Okay, grandma."
Xiaoyu and the others knew that they were going to visit the first wife today, so they didn't go out with Uncle Xiaowei.
Otherwise, I would have followed Uncle Xiaowei to the team to see the vegetable sheds.
All the things were packed up, and the whole family went down the mountain with their hands full.
He Zhengting knew that his third aunt was going to visit his mother, so he waited for her at his door early.
Seeing someone coming, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Aunt San, let me carry it."
Grandma He turned her hand away and said, "Why are you trying to grab this thing?" What she was holding in her hand was the funeral clothes, and young people were not allowed to touch these things.
From the moment she bought it, Grandma He has been keeping it herself.
Even Mei Xue and He Anze didn't touch it.
He Zhengting was not someone who didn't understand. When he saw Third Aunt like this, he knew what was in her hand.
"Haha, Xiaoxue, please give me the things." He walked towards Xiaoxue embarrassedly and said.
Xiaoxue didn't bother to be polite with him, mainly because there were too many things.
No matter you are doing it for the sake of face or for the sake of sincerity, you must be polite when it comes to gifts.
Aunt Zhengting went downstairs early. She would go downstairs to ask questions every day.
He Zhengjing and his friends came back very late yesterday, and as soon as they came back they heard that Third Aunt and her family had returned.
I don’t know what he was thinking about, but the smile on his face never stopped.
It was a rare sight seeing my sister-in-law smile at me early in the morning.
Seeing them like this, Aunt Zhengting didn't ask them much and let them talk or not.
Forget it, she may not want to hear it.
But the old lady would not miss such a good opportunity.
When he saw his eldest daughter-in-law coming, he immediately told her about Anwar.
"Anhua has chosen a girl, and they plan to hold a wedding before the New Year. You are the eldest aunt, so you will have to help out a lot after the new daughter-in-law comes into the family."
Anyway, in the final analysis, it all comes down to helping Anhua take good care of his daughter-in-law.
Aunt Zhengting would never indulge her. "My Wenli has never asked me to serve her twice. Doesn't Anhua's daughter-in-law have her own mother-in-law?" After saying that, Aunt Zhengting walked out of the house.
I happened to meet He Zhengjing and his wife.
Looking at the smiles on their faces, Aunt Zhengting felt very disdainful. With their taste, how could they possibly appreciate anything good?
"Sister-in-law, I'll leave Anhua's affairs in your hands." Zheng Jing's wife said with a smile.
Aunt Zhengting rolled her eyes at her and said, "You think too much. You don't even worry about your own daughter-in-law, so it's not my turn to be your daughter-in-law." She was not stupid.
It's all about money.
She has no money.
Even if I have money, I save it for my grandchildren.
"What you said, sister-in-law, after all, she is your niece-in-law." For the sake of money, they endured it.
"I already have a niece's wife. I have many nieces' wives, so I don't need another one." You get what you pay for. I guess that wife won't be easy to get along with.
She thought, should she listen to Anshan and move in with them?
Forget it, let’s wait until the people in the room leave.
"Sister-in-law, I'm going to go see mom first, you go ahead." He Zhengjing walked away with an embarrassed look on his face.
He just left his wife here.
The two sisters-in-law didn't have much to say.
They were in an awkward relationship until Grandma He arrived.
"Aunt San, you're here. Please come in. It's windy outside." Seeing the person coming, Aunt Zhengting immediately greeted her with a smile.
