80s: The Farmer’s Wife Is The Boss

Chapter 44, let’s go together

 There is so much, how much can you eat, why not dry it into dried prunes and give Xiaoxue a snack.

 “Hey, I listen to Third Grandma’s advice.” An Liang likes to eat Third Grandma’s food, it’s delicious.

　　It tastes better than his mother’s.

 Looking at those big and red plums, Grandma He felt very sweet in her heart.

When Mei Xue came back, she saw plums spreading out in her yard to dry.

They were all bright red and very tempting, but unfortunately, she had tasted them before and they were very sour.

“Anliang, why are there so many plums?” Mei Xue asked, looking at the plums drying in the thin frame.

"Sister-in-law, you are back. Haha, don't you want to eat plums? The plums are ripe now. I picked some for you." An Liang said a little embarrassed.

Mei Xue still doesn't understand anything. Aunt Mei Lian must be thinking about what happened last time, so she asked An Liang to pick plums for her to eat.

It made her feel a little embarrassed. "Thank you."

No matter whether the plums are delicious or not, she has to know what others think, "There are so many plums, it's really hard for you."

"It's okay. There are a lot of them on the mountain. There are still two trees in the afternoon. I will pick some more and bring them back. The third grandma said that I will dry them all for my sister-in-law to make prunes." An Liang kept saying with hands and feet.

Mei Xue was speechless. How much did she like to eat?

 It's just that she hasn't eaten it before and wants to try it. How come she wants to eat it?

 Forget it, she can’t brush off grandma’s feelings.

“Then I’ll go with you in the afternoon.” Mei Xue thought that she hadn’t gone up the mountain in some days.

 The meat at home is almost gone.

　　It would be great if we could meet some more pheasants on the mountain.

"Sure, I'll take my sister-in-law with me in the afternoon." An Liang didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Grandma He heard Xiaoxue's voice in the kitchen and walked out immediately, "Xiaoxue is back. Come and have a rest. The sun is strong outside, so don't bask in the sun."

Hearing these words of concern, An Liang was stunned. Wasn't he just basking in the sun?

How can the third grandma be treated differently?

“Let me help An Liang finish these plums.” Mei Xue did not agree with her grandma and directly helped An Liang wash the plums.

The two of them were faster than one. By the time Grandma He called for dinner, all the plums had been dried.

 “Here we come.”

At the dinner table, Grandma He cooked fried pork with chili peppers, loofah soup, and red bean rice. Because she didn’t know An Liang would come to eat, Grandma He later added fried eggs with leeks.

 Thanks to An Liang.

 An Liang's eyes widened when he saw the dishes on the table.

 “Third Grandma, your food is really good.” An Liang said with envy on his face.

Grandma He patted his head angrily, "Your sister-in-law has been working in the mountains these days. She needs to take a good supplement, otherwise she will lose weight, so she eats better. If she eats like this every day, Third Grandma will laugh. ”

 Grandma He is very strict about not showing off her wealth.

They all know that my sister-in-law is clearing up wasteland in the mountains these days, so they can understand if she eats well.

　　"Then today I have taken advantage of my sister-in-law and had another meal of meat."

 It is not just for a half-grown man to be poor. An Liang is like this now. He is fifteen or sixteen years old. It is the time when he is growing up and he eats a lot.

If you really let go of your stomach to eat, you are afraid that there will be no more than he eats at home.

 So as long as the food is not good, it is good to be full.

“Stop talking nonsense and eat quickly. After eating, go back and take a nap. I’ll go up the mountain with you in the afternoon. Also, call An Wen and ask him if he wants to come with you.” Mei Xue knocked on the table angrily.

 Anyone who competes with her for food is a bad person.

No matter how much she eats, the pain in Mei Xue’s bones cannot be changed.

Seeing his sister-in-law's change of expression, An Liang didn't dare to say anything and started eating immediately.

After An Liang got to know the third grandma and her family, he didn't know what politeness meant at all. He ate two large bowls at once, and he didn't put down his bowls and chopsticks until the water was in his throat.

"Okay, let's go back and take a nap after a while, otherwise we won't be energetic in the afternoon." Grandma He started to drive people away.

Mei Xue also took the last bite, and all the food on the dining table was empty.

After Anliang left, Mei Xue laughed and said, "Grandma, didn't Grandma come to see you today?"

Since the last incident, the eldest grandma has not been here for several days. She used to run here every day.

"She still has the nerve to come here. Huh, even if she comes, I won't pay attention to her. She is really angry." When Grandma He talks about her sister-in-law, she gets angry.

"Grandma, don't be angry. An Liang sent so many plums today. I'm afraid that grandma will be embarrassed to live at Aunt Ting's house after seeing them." Mei Xue teased.

"Oh, she, oh, you don't know the things your eldest grandma did when she was young, otherwise, you wouldn't even pay attention to her." Grandma He still didn't say more about what happened.

Mei Xue has been working hard these days, and taking naps has become a habit. After helping her grandma clean up, she went back to the house to rest.

 After a nap, I got up and carried a few more loads of water in the afternoon. The pool above was almost full.

 Because she added space for water. It was her first time growing vegetables, and she was determined to earn money for her grandma to count, so she put in more space for water.

By the time An Liang and An Wen arrived, Mei Xue had just returned from carrying water.

"Here you are, wait for me for a while." Mei Xue walked towards the courtyard carrying a bucket.

"Grandma, I went up the mountain with Anliang and the others. You should be careful at home and wait until I come back to do the heavy work." Mei Xue held a bucket in her hand, which is convenient for loading anything, and she also carried a handful of firewood. knife.

"Okay, you go, there is nothing to do at home, you should be careful." Grandma He might be able to clean up the house, holding a rag in her hand, and walked out of the house listening to Xiaoxue's voice.

 After seeing An Liang and An Wen, Grandma He said a few words to them, "You guys too, don't go to the mountains. There are a lot of animals in the mountains now." This is the time when animals come out to look for food.

 “I know, Third Grandma.” The two of them responded quickly.

Looking at the backs of the three of them, Grandma He shook her head, "Why does this kid like to go into the mountains so much?" After muttering, Grandma He got busy again.

“Sister-in-law, what are you doing with the bucket?” An Liang asked in confusion when he saw the bucket in Mei Xue’s hand.

Don’t you usually take a basket when you go up a mountain?

"It's convenient. Many people have harvested their rice. Let's go see if there are any loaches or eels." She had seen many people harvesting rice a few days ago, but she had been thinking about not being able to eat the eels. .

Hearing what the sister-in-law said, the two of them laughed, "Haha, sister-in-law, I actually plan to go and have a look today. Let me tell you, the second master's land has been harvested, but no one in his family is digging for loaches."

 Speaking of this, An Liang and An Wen both had smiles on their faces.
