Chapter 52, Frustrated
He Zhengting opened his mouth and finally looked at An Lin. Seeing him looking at him expectantly, all his worries turned into love.
"I will listen to Aunt San and Xiaoxue." After making up his mind, He Zhengting looked at Meixue, "Xiaoxue, tell uncle how much money you need and he will give it to you."
Mei Xue laughed after hearing this, "How much money you spend is up to you, Uncle Zhengting. You can learn with just one or two dollars. An Wen is not sensible, but he has already bought the wine, so it's too late to regret it."
At this point, Mei Xue glared at An Wen and said fiercely, "An Wen, I'm telling you, don't cry if you lose money, because I won't compensate you when the time comes."
An Wen had already prepared himself mentally. Besides, he was not a person who didn't know how to deal with things. How could he not understand his sister-in-law's intention? He smiled innocently and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. If I lose money, it's my bad luck. How can I blame you for this?"
He Zhengting listened to the conversation between the two. How could he not understand what Mei Xue meant? He sighed, "Xiaoxue, thank you for teaching An Lin and the others. Uncle would like to thank you here."
After saying that, He Zhengting stood up and said, "Here is twenty yuan, Anlin, take it and buy whatever you need." After saying that, he put the money on the table, said hello to Grandma He and walked out.
Grandma He curled her lips, but didn't say much, "An Lin, take it yourself, come here." Everyone has left, what else can she do.
"Third grandma." An Lin's expression was still very well-behaved and honest. "Sister-in-law." He and He Anze were born in the same year, but He Anze was older.
There is nothing wrong with calling her sister-in-law.
"Okay, it depends on how much wine you want to brew. But let me make it clear that this is just a test, and I can't guarantee whether it will be successful or not. So, take it easy. In addition to the wine, you also need to buy a few pounds of rock sugar. Not much, about five pounds will be enough."
Mei Xue regrets it now. If she had known earlier, she would not have done such troublesome things. She is really annoyed.
"Also, do you have a big jar at home? If not, you have to buy one. You should prepare these things today. An Liang and I will go pick plums first." Mei Xue didn't want to say anything more. She was annoyed.
Seeing Mei Xue's increasingly impatient tone, Grandma He immediately took over the conversation, "An Lin, you go get ready first. Mei Zi will ask An Liang and the others to pick more plums. It won't be a big deal if they pick more. You go and do your business first."
He Anlin smiled naively at Third Grandma and Mei Xue, and wrote down everything Mei Xue asked him to do.
"Well, I'll listen to Third Grandma and Sister-in-law."
Grandma He picked up the money on the table and gave it to An Lin, asking him to buy it himself. "Take this money and don't spend it carelessly. Earning money is not easy."
"I know Third Grandma, I won't use it indiscriminately."
After An Lin left, Mei Xue sighed and glared at An Liang and An Wen, "I shouldn't have taught you earlier. What a trouble." Her tone was full of resentment.
An Liang was a tough and thick-skinned man, so he immediately stepped forward to try to please him.
After this incident, An Wen was no longer as shy as before, and began to try to please Mei Xue with every word.
After the matter was settled, Mei Xue took the two of them up the mountain. She really didn't know where to find the plums on the mountain, so she could only follow them.
Along the way, we saw quite a few plum trees, but An Liang said that those were from other people's mountains. It was okay to pick some to eat, but not too many.
They have to go deeper and higher into the mountains.
"Are we there yet?" Mei Xue was not tired, but she was anxious because she had walked for half a day and didn't even see the shadow of a tree.
"Sister-in-law, there's still a long way to go. We need to get to the top of the highest hill. That's the team's hill, it doesn't belong to anyone. You can pick the plums there without worrying about getting into trouble."
An Liang was smart. They picked plums to make wine. If they succeeded, they could sell them for money. The people in the village would surely be jealous, and that would be very troublesome.
There is no need to think about it, it will definitely happen.
Looking at the low and dense woods, Mei Xue felt a little excited and worried.
There must be a lot of animals living in a forest like this. The excitement comes from the harvest, but the worry is the fear that a wild beast will come out and hurt people.
It's not that she was worrying unnecessarily, but she had experienced it before.
They walked for an unknown amount of time until An Liang and An Wen were sweating profusely, and then they finally stopped.
When they arrived at a water flow, "Sister-in-law, take a rest, we're here." Few people usually come here, and no one has vegetable fields here. Except for those who are cutting trees, no one usually comes up here.
"Are we there yet?" Mei Xue looked around, but there was no plum tree in sight. She was confused, "Where is the plum tree here?"
An Liang scooped up a handful of water, washed his face first, then brushed away the leaves with his hands, lay on the ground and drank the water.
"Sister-in-law, the trees are right above us. You can't see them like this. We will be able to see them when we go up from here. There are three plum trees here." An Wen said excitedly.
Mei Xue didn't know, but since they were already here, what else could she say? She had to follow them.
"Sister-in-law, would you like to drink some water? The water here comes out of the ground and it's very clean." After drinking the water, An Liang said to Mei Xue.
Mei Xue shook her head. "I brought some water. You guys can drink it. After you finish drinking, we will go pick plums. The sooner we pick them, the sooner we can go back."
An Wen was also thirsty, so after An Liang left, he immediately lay down and started to drink water.
People in the mountains don’t carry water with them when they go out. There is groundwater everywhere, and there is always drinking water.
Just as Mei Xue and others were picking plums on the mountain, An Lin also returned home.
When He Zhengting saw An Lin coming back after him, he immediately looked unhappy.
But he didn't ask directly, just glanced at An Lin.
An Lin was a little afraid of his father. When he saw him looking at him, he immediately told him what his third grandmother and sister-in-law had said.
After listening, He Zhengting nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go buy it with you later."
Aunt Ting looked at her sons and felt very sad. No matter which son she favored, the other one would be hurt.
The reason she compromised this time was only because An Lin had reached the age of marriage and she had to let him establish himself first.
It's always good to learn a skill. Anshan is still young, so we can wait a little longer.
Thinking of Anshan, Aunt Ting turned around and went back to work, trying to avoid seeing it.
As for Anshan, he left home very early in the morning, and no one knew where he went.
At noon, Mei Xue didn't want to stay in the mountain any longer, and she had almost picked all the plums, so she immediately suggested going back.
An Liang and An Wen obviously didn't want to go back, and they both looked at Mei Xue with innocent and pitiful eyes.
Mei Xue knew a little about what they were thinking. There were some people on the mountain, but she was more afraid that her grandmother would worry about her.
"Come back in the afternoon." Mei Xue's meaning was very clear.
When the two heard this, they were happy, "Okay, we'll listen to sister-in-law." They immediately picked up their loads and started walking down the mountain.
The tickets are moving!!!
