Chapter 54, Fake (people)
Mei Xue's mouth twitched, but fortunately Grandma He pulled her back and said, "Zhengting is here, but he has come up the mountain to wait for you. These plums cannot be kept for long, and they will be useless tomorrow if they are left overnight."
"This has delayed Xiaoxue's work. I apologize to you here. When you are done with your work, go to my house for dinner and let Aunt Ting cook you two delicious dishes to make up for it."
He Zhengting is very tactful in his work and life, and generally never offends anyone. Even if he does something out of line, others will be bribed by him.
Unfortunately, he met Mei Xue and Third Grandma.
How could the third grandmother not know what kind of person her own nephew is? A man who eats the food of his people should be grateful, but her family is not so poor that they should be grateful.
"Haha, that's great. Let her Aunt Ting kill a chicken and steam a bowl of bacon. It's really nutritious." Third Grandma looked at He Zhengting expectantly.
He Zhengting was speechless.
He also wanted to eat chicken and bacon, but there was only so much meat at home, so he had to be frugal with it. He would not bear to eat it when he was not doing heavy work on weekdays.
He even steamed a bowl of it. I have to say, it really made him feel bad.
But what he said can't be dismissed with just two eggs.
He could only look at Xiaoxue with a smile, hoping that she would refuse.
Mei Xue also did as he wished, "That won't do, Uncle Zhengting, I don't need to take supplements, I'm in good health."
She was afraid that she couldn't eat anymore and was being hypocritical.
"No, sister-in-law, go ahead. We'll go with you then. I haven't eaten bacon for a long time." An Liang, this silly boy, couldn't stand when he heard Mei Xue's refusal.
"Sister-in-law, you don't know how delicious this bacon is. It's all oily when you take a bite. Well, I'm hungry again." An Liang said to Mei Xue with a pitiful look on his face.
Just as Mei Xue was about to open her mouth to refuse, someone was quicker than her: He Zhengting.
He was afraid that Mei Xue would agree and then give the meat to others to eat, and he really couldn't bear to do that.
"It's okay. Since Xiaoxue doesn't want to go home to eat, I'll ask Aunt Ting to get you a few eggs and you can cook for yourself then."
Well, this guy is really...
"Okay, okay, stop making trouble. The sun is so strong. If you don't pick the plums out, they will be full of maggots. Let's see what you can do." Grandma He was very unhappy.
After looking at what An Lin brought, Mei Xue nodded. He Zhengting originally wanted to stay and take a look.
But he was chased away by Grandma He.
When he got home, he asked his wife to take out ten eggs and asked her to give them to Xiaoxue later.
Aunt Ting knows her husband very well, but she didn't say much. She was still thinking about her youngest son and she had her own thoughts.
Winemaking is not a very delicate job, Mei Xue said as she took a small stool and sat next to them to watch.
A little worried for the first time, Mei Xue tampered with the tanks of An Liang and An Wen.
As for An Lin, he used twenty kilograms of wine to learn. Mei Xue didn't want to care about it, but she said everything she needed to say.
She did not hide anything that needed to be paid attention to and told them everything. It was up to them how much they could remember in the future.
She only planned to teach this once.
An Liang was a man of many thoughts. He had made preparations early on, fearing that his brain wouldn't work well, so he took out a small notebook and wrote down everything Mei Xue said.
It was not until dark that the three people's plum wine was sealed with yellow soil, and then they just had to wait.
Wait a few days and see how the plums ferment.
But don't worry, with the space water as a guarantee, it will definitely not go bad.
It was the one about An Lin. Mei Xue didn't add any space water, but she also paid more attention to it. She couldn't let others hold a grudge against her.
Afterwards, An Liang and An Wen came to see Mei Xue several times, asking her if she wanted to go up the mountain with them.
But Mei Xue rejected them all because she had more important things to do, which was growing vegetables.
A few days ago, her grandmother was worried that she was tired, so she let her rest at home for three days. But now, the vegetable garden at home is not small, and the seedlings are growing beautifully.
If you don't plant it in the ground now, it will soon bear fruit.
Without Mei Xue, the two of them went to chop wood obediently.
To plant seeds in the vegetable garden, one has to bend down and squat. Mei Xue didn't want her grandmother to suffer so much, so she didn't let her grandmother go to the field, but asked her to help with the seedlings at home.
Let’s do them one by one first.
Grandma He separated and tied each vegetable and asked Meixue to prepare one every day.
The main reason is that there are a lot of vegetable seeds this time, and there are only a few kinds of vegetables in the countryside. Grandma He planted all of them, whether they can be grown or not.
I don't ask for much, I just hope Xiaoxue is happy.
There are eight kinds of vegetables this time, two of which are new varieties, such as the autumn tomatoes, which are seeds bought from the supply and marketing agency. I heard that they are small in size and can be used for cooking or eaten raw.
Anyway, Grandma He had never seen it before, so since Xiaoxue wanted it, she grew some. There was also watermelon, which was originally impossible to grow, but Xiaoxue insisted on it, so Grandma He had no choice but to grow some seedlings for her.
The sun is so strong now. Anyone who has farmed knows that there are really not many vegetables that can be grown. Autumn is the harvest season, and there are all kinds of vegetables to eat.
Grandma He didn't hold much hope, but she still helped Xiaoxue grow the vegetables.
Mei Xue spends the whole day in the vegetable garden.
After planting the vegetables, she would water them. When the water in the pond was gone, she would pick the vegetables. She was willing to endure hardships and patience, and she was very enthusiastic about work like fattening.
After four or five days of planting all the land she had reclaimed, Mei Xue took a deep breath.
Then, spit it out, "It stinks."
There is no way around it. Nowadays, fattening cattle is done with manure from their own toilets or from the cow shed. The smell is really unpleasant.
"Finally, the work is done. Let's go home." After Mei Xue watered the last seedling, she picked up the bucket and went home.
When Mei Xue returned home, she was worried because her grandmother was not at home. She had asked her grandmother several times recently to go and catch some chicks.
When I'm not at home, I go to the village to catch chicks.
Mei Xue boiled some water and took a bath first. There was no other way because she smelled so bad.
After taking a shower and washing and hanging up my clothes, I saw a figure walking up the mountain.
He was holding something in his hand, a large bamboo frame. Mei Xue recognized the figure as soon as she saw him.
That's her grandmother.
Hurry down the mountain.
"Grandma, did you catch the chicks?" Mei Xue looked excited as she watched the chirping chicks.
"Of course. If I don't catch it back, grandma will have a headache because of your nagging. Come on, help me carry it. I'm so tired." Grandma He put the bamboo frame in her hand on the ground. It was really a bit strenuous to walk all the way.
Maybe she hasn’t been working as much recently. In the past, she never felt tired no matter how many things she carried.
"Hey, I'll bring it up. I'll bring it up."
After returning home, Mei Xue has been taking care of the chicks. She counted them and found that there were not many, but not few either, about twenty in total.
The tickets are moving!!!
