"Is that why?"
In the afternoon, she came over at the agreed time. When Mei You and Mei Bei were making soap in the kitchen, she heard Mei Bei talk about what they had met in the morning.
From Meiyou's point of view, there was simply nothing to complain about.
"She thinks your family is unhappy, so why did she go to all this trouble?"
For the first time, Mei You felt that it was amazing for someone to be so free.
"Actually, it would be very miserable for an ordinary person."
Meiberry thought for a moment, "The main reason why things developed like this this time was because of my good behavior and my quick reaction.
Otherwise, if Grandma Liu is kicked by my mule, things will be difficult to deal with later. "
After Mei Mei and his family waited for Widow Chen to leave, the mother and daughter spent a long time together. Although they thought Widow Chen's speculations were understandable, as Mei You thought, Ding Xiang's approach seemed troublesome.
But when Mayberry thought about it from another angle, it was because their family was "abnormal" that they escaped a disaster.
If it were an ordinary person, Ding Xiang would have done what he wanted in this wave of encounters.
He lacks great virtue.
She took advantage of the absence of Widow Chen and her son to trick Grandma Liu out, and then called out Wei Meili and Suo Tou one after another.
If Mei Berry didn't keep an eye on the mule kid, Grandma Liu would be kicked, and when the lock came, she would definitely start a fight with Mei Berry;
Then Meiberry's mother came and came to see her daughter being beaten. Even if she didn't beat the child, she would separate the lock and Meiberry;
At that time, Widow Chen, who was one step behind, saw Mei Bei's mother "doing something" with the lock. Ding Xiang, who was following her, gave some hints and provocations. Maybe Widow Chen would rush up and fight Wei Meili. stand up.
That was a big brawl.
"Your family is simply in disaster."
Meiyou listened and looked at Meiberry sympathetically.
It was unlucky for her second uncle's family to be looked down upon by others. Mei You suddenly felt a little comforted by the honest and dull appearance of her parents.
At least, her father is so unpopular?
"By the way, how long does it take to mix this?"
No longer mentioning the clove thing, Mayberry's attention shifted to the basin of unformed soap liquid in front of her.
The fat in soap is mainly suet from wild boars.
At noon, Mei You brought a large piece of pork suet and asked Wei Meili to help refine it.
At this moment, as they were making soap, the lard placed in the two small earthen pots nearby had also condensed into a white and delicate solid state.
Meiberry watched Meiyu put it there and cover the basin with a lid after mixing it completely, and then curiously asked how long it would take.
"About two or three hours."
"Well, that's night. Then don't leave tonight. I'll ask my mom to cook something delicious~ We'll continue cooking after we finish."
"No, just leave this one like this. I'll come back tomorrow morning. It doesn't matter if you leave this one overnight." Mei You rejected Mei Berry's proposal.
It was dark at this time and there were no street lights on the roadside. Even if she wasn't afraid, Miao and Mei Sanman would still be worried.
"Then remember to take this lard residue back and eat it."
After helping Mei You prepare the lard, Wei Meili has been processing the large portion of lard residue.
Mix the fried minced garlic and sesame seeds inside, sprinkle with a little salt and sugar, and it's delicious even if you eat it dry!
When Meiyou opened the lid of the lard jar, the unique aroma of the meat oil and the aroma of the fried spices mixed together created a taste that was simply irresistible.
"Second Aunt's lard is also very clean in color and doesn't taste so fishy..."
Mei You took back the can of lard and lard residue together, and could tell at a glance that this was different from what they made at home.
"This is not difficult. Cut the lard into cubes, add water to boil the oil, and put a few slices of ginger in it to remove the fishy smell. The lard produced will be white and has no peculiar smell."
Wei Meili shared her experience and said with a smile, "Next time you ask your mother to come to my place when she has nothing to do, she will be busy during this time, right?"
"Well, it's almost done. Mom also said that she would like to play with you after she has been busy for the past two days."
Meiyou’s homemade soap Meiyou’s family attaches great importance to.
He was afraid that Fat Tiger would be mischievous in the kitchen and ruin it at night, so he put the basin of soap in the cabinet on the kang in his bedroom at night.
When Mei Mei opened her eyes again early the next morning, Mei You had already arrived at her house.
This time, even if Meiberry doesn’t want to admit that she didn’t sleep in, it won’t work_(：3 ∠)_
"This is the soap mold my dad made out of bamboo yesterday."
After getting up, Meiberry handed the soap liquid to Mei You for inspection, and then she took out the mold that Mei Youqian took the time to make last night.
"Okay, just heat it and pour it into the mold to cool."
Mei Berry and Mei You were busy with this matter for almost an hour.
After melting the reacted soap and pouring it back into the mold, nothing would happen. She just had to wait for the moment when the soil soap was ready, and then successfully clocked in!
While excited, Meiberry suddenly realized where his father and mother had been this early in the morning.
"Sister, were my parents at home when you came?"
"My second aunt was at home when I came. She said she was going to Widow Chen to get some kind of cloth. Do you know what kind of cloth it is?"
"Oh, I know. It's the kudzu we picked on the mountain that day. The one that can weave cloth." Meimeiberry and Meiyou explained, "You will know what happened to that kudzu when my mother comes back later."
It's just that the trip to her mother's house took quite a long time, and it looked like she wasn't just going to get the cloth.
Mei Youyi nodded, thought for a moment and then said: "Second uncle, I went to work in the fields with my father this morning. They seemed to have said they would go back to the old house."
"Why?"
"I heard from my father that they were looking for him at the old house before. I guess your father was also looked for. I asked my son to do some work. Even if we separate the family... there is nothing to blame."
On the contrary, if her father keeps refusing, he will not be able to run away if he is scolded.
Meiyou could be indifferent, but she understood that her father and mother probably didn't want to be looked down upon.
"That's true..."
Mei Bei didn't like to judge. Since his father had agreed to go with his third uncle, he should already have a lot of ideas.
"Anyway, my dad is gone, so he won't suffer any loss, right?"
Mei Pei thought the same thing as Mei Youqian himself.
He came here in person, how could he put himself at a disadvantage?
A few days ago, he was found by old man Mei, who said he would help when they came back from their work in the fields.
The words were very tactful and gentle, but Mei Youqian could hear the smell that couldn't be refused.
At that time, he found Lao San and asked Old Man Mei if he had also found him.
After learning that Old Man Mei's two sons had been found, Mei Youqian showed off the dragging technique with his third son.
They are capable, but they don't want to do it all. Are they the two of them taking advantage of so many fields?
If you don't share with them what you plant, they will still be exhausted to death?
Fortunately, Old Man Mei did not place all his hopes on them, and gradually planted the vacant land one after another.
Just in case Old Man Mei planted the last small piece of land where the two of them had lost their "filial piety", he would get a bad reputation later.
No, Mei Youqian and Mei Laosan agreed to come over this morning.
Old man Mei, who was sitting in front of his main room smoking a cigarette, looked up and saw his two sworn sons. He choked on his cigarette and flew straight to the sky!
"Cough cough cough cough! You, cough! Why are you here?".
"Dad - didn't you ask us to fulfill our filial piety? If there is anything else we need to work on at home, just ask me and my brothers to do it."
Mei Youqian stood at the door and not only spoke loudly, but also smiled brightly (zou), showing his big white teeth, and asked "sincerely": "Are you - moved?"
Old Man Mei: "..."
Mei Youqian: Dad! Are you happy? Are you moved? My son, I am here to fulfill my filial piety!
Old Man Mei: Get out! I'm afraid you'll come here to keep me filial!
