"I'll buy some meat today. I haven't eaten meat in a long time!"
"Didn't you eat fish a few days ago?"
"Your dad, I don't want white meat like fish, I want red meat, and pork belly is the best!"
Mei Mei and Mei You did not expect that the least calm person would be Mei Youqian.
Did you agree that when you go out, it will be extra calm if you have an adult with you?
Before leaving Jiubaoxuan, I made an appointment with Lin Shoucai to take a boat back.
There was still more than an hour before the return trip, and Mei Youqian was so excited.
I just want to buy meat!
"Mom, please take it easy. My family has no money, and the old house is over there..."
In public, Meiberry reminded in a low voice, "Don't attract anyone's attention!"
After Mei Dahu injured his leg, people from the old house came over to talk about it.
At that time, her father and Mei Sanma went to visit out of love, and the two brothers carried two big bones together.
He was still disliked by her mother for a long time. At that time, Mei Youqian wanted to take those two big sticks back.
If he doesn't eat, he will go home and make bone soup to drink!
After coming back, Mei Youqian only said that Mei Dahu was very tired and lost a lot of weight. Although he could get down to the ground with a cane, he still looked quite embarrassed.
Because of the injury, the gloom between his brows made people uncomfortable.
Especially when he saw himself and Mei Sanma looking so energetic and lively, his face became even more disgusting.
After hearing Mei Youqian's description, Wei Meili told them not to be too public.
Pink eye does not distinguish between eras, there are people like this at all times.
"Let's just buy some braised pork and cook it. We don't need to use an open fire to cook it when we go home. Won't it lose the taste? No one can notice it."
Mei Youqian had a good idea. Mei Qian and Mei You had nothing to say and could only follow Mei Youqian and watch him buy.
But occasionally Meiyou will buy some.
Really, what her second uncle described was too tempting.
Whether it's the braised pork with rich sauce or the sweet and glutinous pastries, Mei Youqian's mouth is almost blown to the sky.
Even the food store owners smiled happily after hearing this and finally had to give some away.
Mei Youqian's backpack was quickly filled with all the things they bought. When he was heading towards the dock, he didn't expect to meet Mei Yang, who was walking with his classmates.
"Huh?"
When Mei Youqian saw Mei Yang, he sighed in his heart because of his blood relationship, but he still had to say hello.
What surprised Mei Youqian was that before he could say hello, Mei Yang turned around and started chatting with the classmates next to him.
As if he didn't recognize the three people coming towards him, he walked straight past Mei Youqian.
"This fourth child..."
When Mei Youqian saw Mei Yang's virtue, he didn't know how to define his behavior.
He couldn't help but gloat to his daughter: "With Mei Yang's virtue, how good can he be to the people of Lao Mei's family in the future? It's a good thing that we don't listen to your father's PUA.
Looking at the scholarly attire of the scholar traveling with him, his family must be in good condition. I think this fourth child has potential as a white-eyed wolf. He hasn't even become a scholar yet and has started to ignore his own family. Tsk tsk tsk...
I don’t know if Mei Dahu and Old Mei will regret raising such a thing in the future. "
"That's not necessarily true. In ancient times, people still attached great importance to this kind of ethical principles. If a reputation for being unfilial was spread... he wouldn't even be able to be an official."
Mayberry felt that the other party would become a hypocrite at best, and not as outrageous as her father said.
But as soon as Mei Berry finished speaking, she met the speechless eyes of her father and Mei You.
"What's wrong?"
Mei Berry looked at the expressions of the two of them and was very confused.
Was what she just said wrong?
"Why...why do you think he can be an official?"
Mei spoke first, and it was hard to explain what Mei Berry's hypothesis was.
And her words were affirmed by Mei Youqian: "Yes, yes! I heard Shopkeeper Lin talk about the imperial examination today. Hey! It seems more difficult than your college entrance examination. How can he pass it?"
Mei Youqian said with disdain on his face: "It's not that I look down on him, I really find it difficult. Is there smoke coming out of the graves of Lao Mei's family? The whole family is crooked and broken...anyway, I Even if you can’t pass the exam, it will be even harder for him!”
Mayberry:? ? ?
Isn't it normal for her father to fail the exam?
Mei You: "..."
Although...but there was really no need for her second uncle to say the last sentence.
***
"Brother Youyang, I saw that you were restless when you came back from the dock. Did something happen?"
Mei Yang was distracted there, thinking about Mei Youqian whom he had just seen, when he was suddenly called back to attention by his classmates, and he was still a little stunned.
"No, it's nothing." Mei Yang shook his head, the smile on his face was a little forced, "I'm just a little nervous for those senior brothers...
Two days ago, when I heard my husband give his final thoughts to the seniors, I saw the expressions on his faces that were somewhat serious and a little nervous for the seniors who were rushing to take the exam. "
"Hey, don't mention this. Mr. Be careful to ask us to write a policy when he comes back. Since his wife passed away a few years ago, his temper has become more and more unstable. He can probably only show off his colors towards the two-year-old. …”
Mei Yang saw the troubled look on his classmate's face, but the words he muttered became more and more unworthy of hearing.
Mei Yang only listened once and then simply turned his head and continued reading his book.
Mei Yang couldn't help but think of everything that happened today.
The fingertips that lifted the pages of the book trembled slightly, and finally he closed the book in his hand and pressed it on the desk. He closed his eyes and frowned, as if suppressing some anger.
His mind couldn't help but think of the Dragon Boat Festival a few months ago. What happened at home was something Mei Yang had never thought of.
The brothers, who had always been honest and taciturn, suddenly separated, their personalities changed drastically, and their words became aggressive;
The two timid and timid sisters-in-law also began to speak sharply, and even his mother could not explain it.
Different from the past when they looked at him with flattering smiles, for the first time, Mei Yang felt despised, ignored and even disliked by everyone.
His father also told him in private with a tired look on his face that after he passed the examination as a scholar next year, he would start arranging marriage arrangements for him, and when he got married, the family would be completely separated.
Do they, these people, despise themselves like this?
A bunch of short-sighted people digging in the dirt!
Mei Yang gritted his teeth and cursed these people secretly, thinking that he would make them regret it when he won!
Even today, on the one hand, Mei Yang didn't want his classmates to know about his family's situation, but on the other hand, he didn't expect that "his own family" would dislike him first.
What a deception!
…
For Mei Li and his family, Mei Yang was just an episode, not worth a few more minutes of thinking about it.
The boat ride home went smoothly.
When Mei Mei and Mei Dahu returned home, Wei Meili had already boiled the bath water.
After the father and daughter were cleaned, the family sat in the yard to eat and enjoy the cool air.
At this time, it was still bright, but the sun had completely dropped below the horizon.
The meal at Mayberry's house tonight was also very refreshing.
A plate of appetizing and refreshing cold shredded radish, a plate of salted peanuts, and the braised pork Meiberry and the others brought back today.
Wei Meili cut into half a catty and put all the remaining plum berries in the space.
Just the warm and moderate white rice porridge, which is not too hot in your mouth, is a really comfortable meal for the whole family.
This white rice porridge, the rice grains have been boiled to bloom, and the rice oil is thick. Mei Qi didn't even take a bite of the vegetables, so she just finished a bowl of porridge.
It wasn't until she was eating her second bowl of porridge that Meiberry started to take it easy.
There was a slight cool breeze blowing while the family was eating, which was very pleasant.
During this period, the father and daughter talked about what happened during the day.
While Wei Meili listened, the corners of her mouth did not curl down, because Wei Meili was very happy about the wool business.
"By the way, one step before you came back, I saw Mei Lian coming back."
"Ah? Why is she back?"
Mei Bei was stunned for a moment, but soon her mother told her that Mei Lian had come back with her uncle and aunt to visit her father.
"Auntie's family?"
"Well, he seems to be my sister-in-law's younger brother." Wei Meili nodded, "But I see that Mei Lian's uncle is quite impressive. I'm afraid that the person who came here this time is not evil."
Wei Meili didn't know much about Jiang's family situation, but she couldn't bear to go back every year during the holidays. When he came back, he would show off in front of her and Miao.
She said that her brothers are more promising and so on.
Even if she didn't know clearly, there was no doubt that her sister-in-law's family was really powerful.
"But I remember that my sister-in-law's younger brother hadn't gotten married last year. If it hadn't been for Mei Lian's introduction, I wouldn't have known about it."
Thinking of the young man she saw earlier when she was feeding chickens in the yard, and the delicate and beautiful woman beside her.
At that time, Mei Lian greeted her and introduced her uncle and aunt.
Wei Meili felt the couple's appraising eyes on her.
Wei Meimei didn't like it, and her intuition told her that neither of them was a fuel saver.
