80s: The Farmer’s Wife Is The Boss

Chapter 207, Transition (please vote for recommendation)

Anshan was not far behind either. He didn’t catch a single game all morning, but he picked a lot of peaches.

As for Mei Xue, she was bored and making clothes for the children with Li Shuangshuang. I don’t know what she was thinking about doing so many things.

"Sister-in-law, do you want to make two quilts for the children?" Li Shuangshuang said looking at Mei Xue who was about to fall asleep.

Meixue was stunned for a moment, then thought for a while, "No, there are already several quilts, so there is no need to make any more." Any more would be useless, they are so small, and they won't be used when they grow older.

"Okay, I'm thinking of asking Brother Anwen to buy some cotton to make a quilt in two days."

"Want to buy cotton? Then ask him to bring some back to me. Winter is coming soon, so I need to prepare more quilts for Xiaoyu." There is enough at home, but there is nothing to replace.

“Okay, let’s talk to him when he comes back.”

While chatting, the two of them heard someone shouting outside the house.

 “What are you doing?” Mei Xue stood up holding the chair and looked outside.

 Soon I saw Anwen and the others, and saw that they were carrying a large backpack.

 “What are you arguing about?”

 Hearing Mei Xue's voice, the two of them stopped struggling.

Originally, Anwen said that his sister-in-law was at his home, but Anshan didn't believe it. His sister-in-law didn't like going to other people's homes, so how could she go to his home.

"Look, I said my sister-in-law must be at home."

An Wen was speechless. He also heard his wife say something in the morning, saying that he would ask his sister-in-law to come and sit at home.

“Sister-in-law, look what we brought back for you.” An Shan could only show his shyness in front of Mei Xue.

“You smell it, it’s peaches, right? Are the peaches on the mountain ripe?” Mei Xue didn’t know the seasons very well, and she didn’t know when anything would be ripe.

 Don’t say it, it’s good to have sharp five senses.

"No, sister-in-law, look, these peaches are so fragrant." Anshan took out the largest, softest and reddest peach from his hand as if he were offering a treasure.

Mei Xue would not be polite to him and took it directly.

 “Really, Xiang, Shuangshuang, stop doing this and come over and eat.” He didn’t forget to shout to Li Shuangshuang.

 Would Li Shuangshuang not eat? His man is still standing here.

Li Shuangshuang’s belly is no longer small now. Her belly is more than six months old and looks like a watermelon, big and round.

I often hear Aunt Xilian talk about giving birth to a daughter for the first time, probably because she is afraid of putting pressure on Li Shuangshuang.

 In rural areas, there is a certain preference for boys over girls.

 But it’s not that serious. After giving birth to a daughter, it’s most likely that she will have another child.

 Generally, there will be two children in the family, and the old people say this is called having company.

They dumped the peaches in the two baskets on the ground. Not to mention, they tasted really good.

 Seeing so many fruits, Mei Xue's heart skipped a beat and she thought of something.

 "Anshan Anwen, does the back mountain bear much fruit?" If possible, there will be good wine at home by then, but it will only take a longer time.

"There are many. We only visited a few peach trees. We haven't seen the loquat or plum trees yet, but the plum trees also have a lot of fruit." Anwen replied.

 “Well, it almost bent the tree.”

Hearing this, Mei Xue was happy, "If you two have nothing to do recently, help me pick all the fruits. Also, help me buy two big vats from the town. The bigger the better."

Mei Xue is a little excited.

"Ah." The two of them were a little confused, "Are you going now?" Anshan asked in embarrassment.

"Well, it's best to go now. If you two are tired of picking, then ask another person to pick all the ripe fruits." Mei Xue saw Anshan's dilemma, "Anshan, you don't have to be in such a hurry. "Don't go to town, just let your brother An Wen go."

Hearing this, Anshan felt a little embarrassed, "Sister-in-law, my mother can't live without me, I, I..."

"I know, don't think too much. Just help me pick fruits when you have time. Of course, you will have to pay for the wages." Mei Xue has no intention of letting them work as coolies, and she will certainly give them what they deserve.

"Sister-in-law, I'm going to get angry when you say this." Anshan and Anwen immediately stopped working when they heard about the wages. "It's easy to pick fruits, so why talk about wages? This will be ignored."

Seeing how angry they were, Mei Xue smiled and said, "Okay, I won't give you any money. I'll treat you to a meal when the time comes, but you have to do it yourself."

 Anshan and Anwen rested for a while and then went to the back mountain again.

Meixue doesn't plan to wash these fruits, the original flavor is the most beautiful.

　　Without inviting anyone, it took the two of them three days to pick all the ripe fruits.

As for the jars and other things, I also asked Uncle Zhengnan to bring them back during the gathering.

Each jar can hold at least a hundred kilograms. Unfortunately, there are too many fruits and not enough jars.

There happened to be some unripe fruits, so Mei Xue asked He Zhengnan to help her bring back five more vats the next time she went to the market.

Looking at these large tanks in the courtyard, Mei Xue felt for the first time that she was too wise. This place in the old house was the best place to store her things.

Throughout September, all the fruits in the back mountain, except for plums, were collected and filled into five large vats. There were also two large vats of 100 kilograms left at home. Mei Xue had nothing to do, so all of them were used to brew plum wine.

This year, An Cheng and An Shan joined the team, so everyone made the plum wine together, but Mei Xue did not add space water to it.

Anyway, the plum trees on those mountains are grown using space water.

 When the fruits were not ripe, the animals ran here one by one without fear of death.

 It is cheaper than Anshan and Anwen.

The two of them are not solitary eaters. After selling the food when Boss Qian came, they took out a hundred yuan to improve the food for everyone.

 Where to eat?

Of course it is at An Wen's house. Whoever has his house closest, whether it is Mei Xue or Li Shuangshuang, is very convenient.

At this dinner, He Zhengting was made to cry, but no one said anything when he heard his confession.

 In the end, Anshan said something to him to stop drinking, and then he helped the man back.

 Aunt Ting’s waist can’t be used, and she will have to wait for at least more than a year before she can move.

 She also looked at Anshan's changes with red eyes, and thanked everyone one by one.

 In this regard, Aunt Mei Lian and Aunt Xilian tried to explain her.

Even Grandma He didn’t even listen to a word and took Xiaoyu home directly.

 I need to help him take a bath, change clothes, etc. He has to go to school tomorrow.

When Mei Xue came back, Xiaoyu and grandma were watching TV, Journey to the West, in the living room.

Grandma He scolded her, but she felt sorry for Xiaoyu. No, she didn't even take the TV away from him.

 “Grandma Xiaoyu, I’m back.”

"Mom." Hearing the voice, Xiaoyu turned around and stood up, "Slow down, I'll help you." The little man stepped forward to help Mei Xue, who was carrying a big belly.

But as she counted the days, Mei Xue felt that the child in her belly might not come out until the full moon.
