"What do you think? Why does uncle think he can borrow money from us?"
Mei Dahu was angry. Mei Youqian and Mei Sanma were chatting outside, while Mei Bei and Mei You were chatting in the house.
Anyway, Mei Berry was very curious about Mei Dahu's mind.
I feel like I'm quite smart sometimes, coming up to deliver food at critical moments.
"Because as he said, who can really just pay the corvee without leaving any money?"
"Even if he had it, he wouldn't borrow it." Mei Bei looked strange after hearing this, "Where did he get the confidence that we would borrow money?"
"Not necessarily. Based on my father's past temperament, he might actually borrow it, but now he is not so easy to talk to."
Having said this, Meiyou smiled at Meiberry: "I would also like to thank your family. Your father has a great influence on my father."
"Hahaha, I hope I can have more influence. Sometimes my dad is a bit out of his mind~"
Remembering that her father and her third uncle were rubbing their hands together just now, Mei Bei looked at Mei You with a somewhat apologetic expression.
It's embarrassing that such an honest and good father suddenly becomes a little bit... wretched.
"My second uncle is very good. He is free and straightforward in his behavior and is very kind to his own people. He is not a bad person, but he has his own sense of good and evil, right and wrong."
To be honest, Mei Berry felt a little embarrassed when she heard Mei You's praise. She felt that the heroine's filter on their family was a bit heavy.
"But having said that, I didn't expect that things like corvee would happen every year."
Maybe it’s because I haven’t read enough history books, or maybe when watching TV, some costume dramas rarely mention this matter.
The Mayberry family never thought about it.
Mei You also thought for a moment after listening to Mei Bei's sigh, and said: "I haven't thought about it, but I can understand it. This is the same as paying taxes in accordance with the law in your future generations, except that in addition to money, there is also labor here."
"Sister, it seems that there will be no future generations for you~"
Meiberry heard that Meiyou sometimes added "you" before talking about future generations. The unfamiliar feeling of isolating herself made Meiberry feel a little uncomfortable.
Before traveling through time, just reading the book, Mei Li was amazed at Mei You's character as a boss in the apocalypse.
She simply felt that the other person had good skills, a flexible mind, and was beautiful and dashing in what he did.
But she had never thought about how Mei You could become the boss of the apocalypse.
The original book didn't explain that much, but thinking about it, it should be difficult, right?
Hearing Mei Berry's soft complaint, Mei Berry's eyes fell on the lush trees outside the window. She didn't say anything. She just smiled and gently changed the subject: "Yes, it's even more cruel and terrifying than here."
The collapse of order and the depravity of human nature brought about by the early end of the world, even if the subsequent formation of the survivor base will bring the survivors together to re-establish the law.
However, the lack of survival materials and scarce labor force still make everyone who survives in the end of the world continue to live with difficulty.
That cannibalistic world is constantly asking for food from the living.
Looking at Mei You, he was clearly smiling, but Mei Berry seemed to see the cold frost and snow in the other person's bent eyelashes.
At the end of the wind and snow is the dead wilderness again...
"ah!"
Unexpectedly, Mei Bei grabbed her hand again. Mei You came back to her senses from her past memories. When she saw Mei Bei's expression of whether to cry or not, she couldn't laugh or cry.
"What are you doing? Sympathize with me?"
"No..." Mei Berry pursed her lips and replied against her will, "I just thought, how long will it be until such a hot day? When I think about having to go home for lunch later, I'm afraid that I'll be exposed to the sun as soon as I go out. melted……"
Meiyou:......
Although the topic changed very abruptly, I have to say that what Mayberry said was very realistic.
It’s really damn hot today!
"Would you like to go to the town with me to buy food in a few days?"
Mei You suddenly mentioned this, and Mei Berry habitually nodded in agreement before asking the reason.
"With the weather so hot, there is a high probability that this year's autumn harvest will be reduced. If you don't buy food now, it may not be easy to buy it in autumn and winter."
"But, sister. It must be a lot of money to buy food. It's okay for our family to be at the head of the village. Your family is at the end of the village. There are many people and you will be too conspicuous when you buy food. Have you thought about what to do?"
Mayberry was careful enough to remind her this time.
When it comes to hunting and selling prey, it is much more convenient for Meiyou's family to live with their back on the mountain than in a village.
Now that they learned from Meiberry's family that there is another way up the mountain that takes a detour outside the village, the advantage of the back mountain seemed to be average.
It's not like they haven't bought anything before, and there were a lot of people snooping on them along the way.
There are a lot of people in the village who gossip and gossip, and Meiyou doesn't like being criticized when she buys some food.
"Is there any open space over there at your house?"
Suddenly, Meiyou felt blessed.
When Mei Bei heard her question, it was hard not to guess what Mei You meant: "Sister, you mean... you want to build a house somewhere else?"
【system! ! The heroine changes houses. Is there a plot in the original book? ! ! 】
Meiberry has already scolded herself ten thousand times for not taking it seriously, but in her original book, the heroine's family still lived here when it snowed heavily in winter!
Meiyou wants to change houses?
Isn't it obvious that he was influenced by her?
[Is this a deviation from the plot? 】
Mayberry asked fearfully.
[As a heroine, how can it be called a deviation from the plot if she has her own ideas to do something to improve her life? 】
Meiberry never expected that the answer given by the system would be this!
Dog system, double standard monster!
"Originally, I thought about changing the house, but my parents really like it here, so they haven't changed. But it's almost winter..."
Mei You expressed his shortcomings and concerns about the wooden house.
Among them, there is no earthen kang in the winter bedroom of the wooden house, and there is concern about carbon monoxide poisoning when burning a brazier;
The land at the foot of the mountain is not suitable for digging, and it is difficult to store some food in winter. Mei You can't count them on her fingers.
Meiberry opened her mouth several times after hearing this, and then silently swallowed back her questions.
What they said makes sense.
But in the original novel, Meiyu still didn’t move?
"What's wrong? You seem to have doubts."
"Just... putting aside what I told you today, do you also have the idea of leaving the cabin and moving away?"
"Of course, I've always had this idea. Even if we just get through the winter like this, I will move out next year at the latest."
"Where to move?"
"Mei You." Hearing Mei You suddenly call her name, Mei Bei's body sitting on the edge of the bed suddenly straightened up. She looked at Mei You seriously and said "yes", which almost made Mei You fail.
"Do you want to live here until you die of old age?"
"No!"
When Meiyou asked this question, Meiberry shook her head without hesitation to express her meaning.
If you put aside the need to follow Meiyou to clock in and survive;
If we put aside the unknown and chaotic times that are about to begin;
The Mayberry family will definitely leave Jinshui Village after making money.
Stay away from the best, use the money you earn to find a lively and prosperous place or a place with simple folk customs and beautiful mountains and clear waters to live again, and be a happy little landowner.
Yes, so the heroine didn't mind living in a simple wooden house from the beginning.
It's like their family just renovated a mud house and lived in it.
It's all just because they don't regard this place as their real home and don't pay much attention to it. All they have to do is because what they see in front of them is not what they really want.
"Then what kind of house do you want to build near our house?"
"Just a mud house similar to yours will do."
In Mei You's view, she chose a new house because of the location advantage, and this was just a place for her to stay for a short time.
That night, Mei Mei mentioned to Mei Youqian and others at home that Mei You decided to build a new house near their home.
Although Mei Youqian and Wei Meili were surprised for a moment, they obviously accepted it quickly.
"Yes, that house looks good now. It's shaded by green trees and cool in the summer. But in the winter, the wooden house doesn't get much sunlight, and you have to be careful about carbon monoxide poisoning when burning the stove. It's time to build a new house."
"Yes, there is a cellar. I forgot about it if you didn't remind me. We don't seem to have a cellar at home. I'll do it when the weather gets cooler."
“Don’t we have space at home?”
"Then there needs to be someone who can replenish the money."
In the hot summer, the Mei You family decided to rebuild a house near Mei Berry's house, and the matter was settled quickly.
However, because of the hot weather, the house is only built in the morning and evening. On weekdays, when the sun is shining, everyone still chooses to cool off and rest in the house.
The small animals in the yard are also taken care of by Mayberry with cold spring water.
But even so, the three cashmere sheep that Meiberry's family bought earlier almost suffered from heat stroke because of their thick wool.
However, just because of the heat stroke in the cashmere sheep, Mayberry's attention returned to the wool line again...
It’s so hot, ice cream, happy water, and watermelon can’t solve the problem~ I can’t wait to lie in an air-conditioned room 24 hours a day...
