"The third child and the second child's families are really close!"
Mei Dahu, who had just walked around the fields with his father in the drizzle early in the morning, took a bowl of spicy ginger tea from his mother and drank it in one gulp as soon as he returned home.
He listened to old man Mei scolding the second and third children they had just met in the morning and said nothing.
When they came back this morning, they passed by Mei Youqian's old house. The two brothers were plastering the living wall. When they heard the noise, they looked up and saw the two of them. The voices of the people greeting each other were quieter than the other.
"Two white-eyed wolves!"
The angry old man Zhang cursed a few words after drinking the ginger tea. Mei Dahu raised his head and glanced at the old woman Zhang who was about to speak. He immediately shut up and let the other party do his best.
When Old Mrs. Zhang heard what Old Man Mei was talking about about the two separate families, she naturally started scolding her as well.
When she thought about how she heard someone at the door say that the two families had dinner together yesterday when she just left the house this morning, and they even ate meat!
The smell of meat wafted far away.
"I heard that the two of them sat together to eat meat yesterday! They didn't even know how to bring the meat to the old house to show respect to my mother and father. They are unfilial and look down upon! They shouldn't have been allowed to grow up like this in the first place!"
Old Man Mei only said a few words when he heard his old wife curse and talk so much that she couldn't get a word in to say a few more words.
Old man Mei couldn't help but glare at his old wife, asking her to calm down.
"That's right, if you ask me, they just don't pay attention to you, parents. They just separated the family, and now they are eating and drinking and completely forgetting about you. I'm afraid they will forget all the filial piety during every new year in the future! "
Jiang came out with a big pot of porridge and corn pancakes. After hearing what her mother-in-law said, she also fanned the flames.
It's okay not to say this, but if more people say it, whoever listens will feel more and more upset...
At the foot of the back mountain,
[Host, remember to check for the mule we rewarded you~]
Just when Meiberry had already made a preliminary judgment on the loud screams, the system prompt finally came belatedly.
This also made Mayberry finally think of the rewards brought about by the strange check-in incident yesterday.
"Is this...a little wild donkey?"
Meiyou stepped forward to take a look, and was confused when she saw a little mule squatting in the trap with a very reluctant posture.
It's a bit ugly and she doesn't recognize it yet.
Feels vaguely like a donkey.
"Is there a possibility... that it's a mule?"
Following the reminder from the system, Mei Berry also took a look and helped Mei You answer her questions.
Meiyou didn't believe everything Meiberry said, but before she could continue to observe, the eyes of the little mule lying in the trap suddenly lit up.
He stood up immediately and jumped out of the pit without hesitation and jumped to Meiberry's side. He said "high" happily as if he answered Meiberry's judgment of his identity just now.
At this time, Meiyou also clearly saw the situation at the bottom of the trap.
Yesterday, she gave Mayberry a barb and now she was lying in pieces at the bottom of the pit. The little mule was completely unharmed.
"Did this guy do it on purpose?"
Seeing the mule humping Meiberry's side like a coquettish girl, Meiyou felt a little doubtful about the ugly mule's life.
There are no monsters in this world, right?
Seeing the heroine staring at herself and the mule with a confused look on her face, Mei Berry was also digging her toes in embarrassment at the sudden appearance of the mule.
[System, why is this mule here? 】
The system gave her an explanation for Meiberry's doubts: [Of course, give it a reasonable way to appear~ Host, you captured this in a trap. 】
[Is this reasonable? System, don’t you think what you said is a bit guilty? 】
Mayberry looked down at the young mule, which was a little taller than her waist, and then at her sloppy trap.
Who would believe it!
Besides, where is there a little mule in the wilderness?
Have the donkeys and horses in the wild taken the initiative to break the shackles of race for love? !
System: [Well... don't worry too much. We are not some scientific explanatory text, right? 】
Meiyou looked at the extremely flattering little mule standing next to Meiberry, twitched the corners of her mouth fiercely, and commented: "It's like touching porcelain."
Mayberry: Yes! The heroine is right. Isn't this just cheating?
Mei Youqian and Mei Sanma all knew about the fact that Mei Bei dug a trap and caught a little mule when they came back for lunch at noon.
Everyone was shocked and in complete disbelief.
Everyone looked at the little mule tied up in the yard obediently eating grass. Their father first expressed his doubts: "My dear, does this wild one have a mule?"
Yesterday, Meiberry didn't have time to tell her parents about the punch-in reward. The system said something about the origin of "Minglu". The result was like this, and Meiberry didn't even know how to explain it.
"He's still healthy and uninjured, and now he's being dragged back by you? Are you so bold and don't pay attention?"
Mei Sanma checked the mule with some uneasiness and found that although he was small, he could not hold up the children at home and he was not much taller.
If he was injured, wouldn't he and his second brother be heartbroken?
"But this little kid will be good when he grows up and sells goods~" Mei Youqian soon forgot to pursue the question of the mule's origin. Instead, he looked at the little mule more and more curiously for a long time.
"When the time comes, I can set up a small car and drive to town comfortably!"
For a time, the topic of conversation changed from where the mule cubs came from to what they would do when they grow up.
The little mule, who was grazing carefree, had no idea of his difficult fate in the future.
After wondering about the little mule for a long time, as Wei Meili and the others prepared lunch, the group's attention returned to their food.
What I made for lunch was spring bamboo shoots and fish bone soup + multigrain rice + mixed wild vegetables.
The fish bones were picked out from the fish balls made yesterday. They were fried in oil until they were brown and crispy. Added with boiling water, it instantly turned into a pot of milky white soup. Finally, a handful of chopped green onions and salt were added to make it tooth-droppingly delicious.
Meiberry didn't even eat much rice, just to drink two bowls of soup.
Not to mention the others, Mei Sanma even put her hands on her waist in embarrassment after finishing the meal.
In his heart, he despised his own appetite. How could anyone raise such an appetite like this?
Isn't this going to ruin the whole family?
But, it’s really delicious! Woohoo!
Fortunately, his wife's cooking is not so delicious, otherwise their family would be impoverished by him!
"Third uncle, second uncle, are you at home?"
Just after lunch, when everyone was eating, an uninvited guest came outside the small courtyard.
Hearing the sound, everyone turned their heads and looked out of the yard, and saw someone coming to the Mei family's old house again.
Mei Dahu's wife, Mrs. Jiang, was looking in from the outside. When everyone saw her like this, they couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
What is this person doing here?
