80s: The Farmer’s Wife Is The Boss

Chapter 138, Gathering

"It's time to repair it, but just renovate it. There is no need to renovate it again." She knew the money at home, so she couldn't spend it all.

 There must be some self-defense for the young couple.

"Grandma, don't worry about this. Leave it to me. The snow on the roof is too heavy and we can't stay here. You go to the kitchen first and I'll bring the firewood in later."

Mei Xue knew that grandma got up so early to get firewood to cook breakfast.

"Sure, be careful. Just get some outside and don't go inside." Xiaoxue was worried about herself, but she was also worried about Xiaoxue.

"Okay, I know, it's cold outside. Grandma, please go inside quickly." Mei Xue pushed her grandma back to the kitchen.

After sending grandma back to the house, Mei Xue went to the woodshed to carry back the firewood she would use in the morning, and then came over to see what was going on with the roof.

There are many families in the village who are in a situation like theirs. Fortunately, the problem is not with the main house. Otherwise, the village will have a difficult time this year.

 The roof was broken because the materials used during construction were not that good, so it was broken by the weight of snow.

 The reason why I kept using it before was because it could still bear weight before, but now I am getting older and it is no longer useful. It is time to replace it.

 After breakfast, Grandma He put the fire in the fire box at home. She had no intention of going out to visit in such a cold weather.

“Xiaoxue, don’t stop the fire on the stove. Just add two big firewood in. It will just cook the pig food, and you won’t be afraid that the snow on the roof will collapse the kitchen.”

 After all, I have a lot of experience, and I have my own way of dealing with snow on the roof.

"Oh, okay, I understand." Mei was so snowy that she wanted to go to the roof to shovel the snow off, but such a roof could not bear her weight.

I'm afraid that the roof will collapse under her before the snow is shoveled down.

It snowed heavily, and no one in the village came out to visit. Everyone was warming up at home.

 But there are some people who can't stay, such as He Anliang and the others.

“Sister-in-law, are you at home, Third Grandma?” An Liang counted the time at home after breakfast.

Fortunately, he was not the only one. When An Cheng came up to call him, An Liang couldn't stay any longer, told his mother and ran out.

No, a few people met together.

"Who is it?" Grandma He was discussing with Mei Xue how to repair the house when she heard someone shouting outside. In fact, she knew who it was and she just responded casually.

Mei Xue opened the door and saw a few people outside the courtyard, "You are not afraid of the cold."

 The courtyard door was open, and Mei Xue let them in directly.

“Sister-in-law, have you eaten?” An Liang was very happy to see his sister-in-law.

“Have you not eaten yet?” Mei Xue asked as they approached.

“Sister-in-law, we have all eaten.”

 “Come inside quickly, it’s cold outside.”

Seeing Li Shuangshuang following behind her, Mei Xue smiled at her and said, "If you are cold, go to the firebox."

Grandma He also sat up from the firebox, where she was sitting just now.

“It’s such a cold day and you’re still running around outside. You’re not afraid of the cold.”

 “Third Grandma.” Several people shouted.

“Come up quickly, my family can’t afford to pay if it’s frozen.” Grandma He said with a smile.

An Liang was such an ungrateful person. Hearing what Third Grandma said, he took off his shoes and got on the firebox, "Third Grandma is so warm."

“Of course, I’ve been warm for a long time.” Grandma He said with a smile.

 A group of people came to the house all of a sudden, and unlike just the two of them who were quiet just now, it suddenly became lively.

“Shuangshuang is here too, come and sit.” The third grandmother moved her buttocks and asked Li Shuangshuang to sit over.

 Fortunately, the fireboxes in rural areas are large and can seat at least four or five people. The larger ones can seat seven or eight people, and the larger ones can be used as beds.

Grandma He's house was built when He Zhengfeng got married. It is quite large and can accommodate seven or eight people without any problem.

 It just means that the fire needs to be burned a little more.

 One brazier for a small one, two for a large one.

This is just for burning two pots. Before winter, Mei Xueke and the villagers bought a lot of charcoal, enough to burn at home until spring.

After everyone got on the firebox, Mei Xue turned around and went into grandma's house and took out some melon seeds and peanuts.

She brought these all back this time, and she bought a lot of them. There were also candies, but Mei Xue didn’t take grandma’s milk candies, but fruit candies.

Grandma really loves toffee, and she doesn’t dare to make her unhappy.

 “Do you want a drink of water?” Grandma He looked at both of them and asked.

To put it bluntly, just ask her if anyone dares to ask for a drink. If anyone dares to ask for a drink, then Grandma He will definitely let him pour it himself, and by the way, he will also pour the water for others.

 “Thank you, Third Grandma, I won’t drink.” Li Shuangshuang said a little shyly.

 This is the second time she has come to the third grandma’s house.

 The first time was the new daughter-in-law, and the second time is this time.

Mei Xue not only went to her grandma’s house to get melon seeds and peanut candies, but also went to the kitchen to get a bowl of spicy and sour **** made by her grandma.

 “Come, you can eat.” Mei Xue was rarely polite.

 Place the item on a high stool next to the firebox so that everyone can reach it.

Like the Chinese New Year, there is still a lot of food in the countryside, but there are still many days before the Chinese New Year, so every household has not started to prepare.

"Thank you, sister-in-law, you are so kind." As soon as they saw the food, several people became excited.

“Wow, sister-in-law, these melon seeds are actually sweet and fragrant.”

"Yes, these peanuts are all spiced. Sister-in-law, where did you buy them?" These people made a lot of money following Mei Xue, and they were all willing to give up the delicious ones.

"I bought it in the town. There is a big market before the Chinese New Year. If you like it, go buy some and bring it back. It tastes pretty good." Mei Xue said with a smile.

"Sure, I'll definitely buy it." It's so delicious, he will definitely buy more this year, An Liang thought in his mind.

 “I want to buy it too, I want to buy it too.” An Cheng also shouted.

On Anshan's part, he didn't say much, but his movements were not slow. It wasn't that he was reluctant to part with it, but that he didn't have much money.

His father took all the money he made from selling fish, but fortunately he hid it a little bit the second time and the third time.

 Otherwise he wouldn’t have a penny on his hands.

His father's original words were that his brother was getting older and Anwen was already married, so the family needed to save some money for his brother to find a wife.

What else could he say, that he would not use the money to buy his brother a wife?

If he dared to say it, his father would definitely beat him to death.

Anwen looked at his wife the whole time and left everything at home to her. She would buy whatever she asked.

“Well, it’s delicious. Let’s buy some during the Chinese New Year.” Li Shuangshuang also happily agreed.

“You can eat more if you like it.” Grandma He looked at the group of little guys with a loving look on her face.

"Let's do this. Let's all go together during the big market and buy more." An Cheng said with excitement.
