"I don't know how long ago her donkey egg happened."
This time, Mei Youqian didn't speak loudly in front of others. He stood aside and whispered to his daughter.
"Then who knows?"
Mayberry was also puzzled.
The father and daughter were not the only ones confused in the yard.
Fat Tiger, who had followed Mei Berry up and down the mountain, was about to share the news of today's outing with his friends in the yard, when he saw an older lady hugging her best friend and not letting go.
Fat Tiger: "Meow?" What's going on, brother?
Mule Zai: "Ang~" Who knows?
"Mom! (milk)!"
Just when Mei Bei and her father were standing not far away, watching Grandma Liu hugging the mule calf and talking nonchalantly, two shouts came from the door of the courtyard.
When Mei Bei heard the sound and looked over, she saw a woman and a boy appearing at the door of her yard.
The face of the young man among them looked familiar to Mei Bei.
Hey, isn't this the child that Mei An hung with candy last time?
Mayberry vaguely remembers it being called Lockhead?
Mayberry remembers that he even beat Mayan up later, right?
Suo Tou also caught Mei Berry's gaze, and his steps paused. In such a short time, his mother took the lead and walked to his breasts.
Widow Chen walked up to Grandma Liu and called out softly: "Mother?"
"Xiao'e?"
"It's me, mother."
Seeing that Granny Liu could still recognize her, Widow Chen sniffed and realized that they were still at home. She turned to Wei Meili who informed her of the news and thanked her: "Thank you, sister-in-law."
"Ah, it's okay. Anyone who encounters this will have to tell you, right?"
Wei Meili also walked up to her husband and looked at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law over there. Grandma Liu took her attention away from the mule and carefully looked at the daughter-in-law in front of her.
"Xiao'e, why do you look so dark? Are you still strong? Kang'er will be sad to see you like this when he comes back..."
Hearing that her mother-in-law still remembered her dead husband, Widow Chen's red eyes were about to burst into tears. Fortunately, her son stopped talking.
"Nai, it's getting late, let's go home first."
The lock came forward to help Grandma Liu, but Grandma Liu was stunned. She stared at the lock for a long time and suddenly frowned and asked, "Kang'er, why are you so thin?"
As if he had heard it many times, Suo Tou just said with a straight face: "Let's talk about it when we go home."
"Son, why have you become shorter? Look at you, you were not much taller than your wife, but now..."
Lock:……
Grandma Liu looked at Widow Chen and Lock, as if she was troubled by something, and sighed, "Hey... go home and make more delicious food, Xiao'e, let your husband eat more, and you... …”
Grandma Liu hesitated to speak, and after holding it for a long time, she tactfully persuaded: "It's not that I don't want you to eat, it's just... you have to be appropriate sometimes."
The current Widow Chen cannot be called fat, but the word "strong" cannot be used to describe her.
Wei Meili heard Aunt Wang say that Widow Chen was also famous for her beauty in the surrounding areas. However, because her husband died suddenly, the family only had a mother-in-law who was often not clear-headed and an infant child.
It is impossible for Widow Chen to raise her children to such a big age without some changes.
Widow Chen's limbs and torso are not slender, but they are not fat and round due to lazy and gluttonous eating. Instead, they are more like tendons that are tempered by working a lot.
There used to be a lot of disputes in front of the widow, but now Widow Chen has a lot less disputes.
"I know, mother, let's go back first."
Widow Chen wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeve, and her eyes signaled her son to take his milk and go back quickly.
"Tomorrow when I am free, I will come to thank my sister-in-law in person."
Because she was leaving, Widow Chen thanked Wei Meili again and made an appointment to come over in a few days to have a nice talk.
But Grandma Liu was in no hurry to leave.
"Take, take donkey eggs back."
People are still thinking about the mule cub!
"Mom, that's not a donkey egg."
Widow Chen forced an apologetic smile at the Mayberry family and pulled Grandma Liu back.
"Just, that's right."
"Don't we have no grass at home? Donkey Dan will be taken care of at someone else's house for a while. Let's cut the grass at home tomorrow and then take Donkey Dan back."
Widow Chen has strong hands and a gentle and coaxing tone. She may have had many experiences. No matter how reluctant Grandma Liu was, she would have been coaxed away.
But Grandma Liu's obsession with the mule kid should not be underestimated. As she walked out, she would look back at the mule kid from time to time.
She murmured: "It's really Donkey Dan~ People say Donkey Dan is back, but I still don't believe it. Now that Donkey Dan is back, my Kang'er is coming back soon..."
"What's going on with that donkey egg?"
Watching Granny Liu and the others leaving, Mei Youqian turned to look at his mule cub. The mule cub was meowing and arrogant with Fat Hu, and they didn't know what they were communicating with.
Probably as confused as them.
"In the past, when Widow Chen's husband Liu Kang was still alive, their family had a donkey, called Donkey Dan. Liu Kang seemed to use a donkey cart to pull goods for people, but unexpectedly, he was robbed by a group of bandits on the road. Not to mention, people He also died. The donkey named Donkey Dan was also killed by bandits and cooked into soup..."
When she went to call Widow Chen just now, Wei Meili made some inquiries.
She had previously known that the other party's husband had been killed by bandits, but she didn't expect that even a donkey carrying goods could not escape the disaster.
"Ah? Where are they? Are there bandits near here?" Mei Berry was also startled by the sudden mention of bandits: "Oh my God, there was a water bandit incident some time ago. Were there bandits before this?"
"They have been wiped out by the imperial court, don't be afraid." Mei Youqian patted his daughter's little head, "This time the water bandits were calmed down so quickly. The imperial court is sometimes very effective in suppressing bandits."
"Really?" Mei Berry didn't think that the speed of suppressing bandits was something worthy of praise.
Unless you really can't survive, who would be willing to fall into the trap of a bandit?
"By the way, I just heard from Grandma Liu that someone told her that Donkey Dan was back. It seems that it's not a coincidence that Grandma Liu got lost and ran away to our house."
Meiberry suddenly remembered the conversation between Grandma Liu and Widow Chen just now.
"You mean someone wants to cause trouble for our family?" Upon hearing this, Mei Youqian frowned, "But who would do this to cause trouble for others?"
"Oh, I can't wait for a while. Let's eat first. Are you hungry?"
"Hungry!"
Mei Mei and Mei Youqian were no longer distressed by this incident.
"Then why don't you go to the vegetable garden to pick cucumbers, and Berry, you go to the henhouse to touch eggs."
At the command, everyone in the Mayberry family started to move.
Eat well tonight;
Eat well tonight;
Have breakfast tonight;
"Then - you will be in good health tomorrow morning!"
Meiberry squatted in front of the chicken coop, holding two freshly baked eggs, looking up at the sunset that was just beginning to appear on the horizon and letting out a long sigh.
"Everything is getting better~"
***
That night,
Xie Changxu looked at the four people with bruised noses and swollen faces, with a rare expression on his face that he couldn't hold back.
Especially after hearing them explain the cause and effect of the matter, he was immediately made angry and laughed.
The moonlight shines on his face through the window, adding a layer of frost to his already bloodless face.
"So, you just came back with the killer's body, injuries and warnings?"
The four people kneeling on the ground were silent, and no one dared to say a word.
Seeing the four people pretending to be dead, Xie Changzhen could no longer restrain his anger. He suppressed the sweetness in his throat and said, "Go to the execution hall to receive the punishment according to the mistakes you made today."
"yes!"
The weather suddenly became very hot. Is this summer?
