Chapter 17 Go to the Streets

The door opened, and Mei Qiying stood outside the door, holding a small basket in her hand.

Seeing the door open, Mei Qiying handed the basket in her hand through the threshold.

"Second brother, these are the eggs my mother promised to give to Sanya. You can take them to replenish her health!"

She never mentioned that Old Mei had forced Mrs. Mei to give it to her. If Mrs. Mei had done it herself, haha... what would she be thinking!

"No, you'd better take such a precious thing back."

Mei Laoer frowned, thinking that if he took the egg now, the old lady might come to trouble him again later, so he refused honestly.

"Second brother, this is for Sanya, not for you. Since mother gave it to you, you can take it."

Mei Qiying has always been young and mature. Although she is only more than ten years old, she lives in seclusion most of the time. She does not care about anything, does not care about anything, and does not ask. Unless Mrs. Mei and others specifically request it, she almost always stays in her own room.

He talks too much and doesn't get involved in other people's affairs. He is like an invisible person every day.

Old Man Mei asked her to come here this time, otherwise she could stay in the house for ten days and a half without leaving the house once, and she would be a proper ancient version of a otaku!

Mei Qiying handed the basket, but Mei Laoer pushed it away. For a while, no one would let the other go.

When Merome saw that her father had gone to open the door and didn't come back for a long time, she had no choice but to come over and take a look. When she came over and saw this scene, she immediately found it funny.

When I looked at the basket in Mei Qiying's hand, I suddenly understood.

She thought that Mrs. Mei would not give them, but she didn't expect that the sun came out in the west today, and that Mrs. Mei, who had always been stubborn towards them, was actually willing to give them the eggs. This was really rare.

Melome walked over in a few steps, took the basket, and said with a smile, "Thank you, sister-in-law."

"You're welcome!" Mei Qiying looked at Melomei like this and couldn't help but asked with concern: "Sanya, are you feeling better?"

"It still hurts a little, but it's okay." Merome continued to laugh.

"well……"

Mei Qiying moved the corners of her mouth, wanting to say something, but she didn't say anything. In the end, she could only sigh softly.

She dug out a handful of copper coins from her arms, took Merome's hand and stuffed them all into her hand: "This is the money my sister-in-law recently sold for embroidering handkerchiefs. Use it to buy candies and eat them... Don't let your mother find out."

."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

"Sister-in-law..."

When Melo Mei wanted to call Mei Qiying to stop, she had already walked far away and only saw a monotonous back.

Melome's feelings for this sister-in-law are complicated. Although they live under the same roof, they don't usually have much communication. Today, she took the initiative to give her money, which made Melome not know how to react for a while.

Melo Mei followed Mei Laoer into the house and put the basket and a handful of copper coins on the table.

Melome: "My sister-in-law gave it to me."

"Sister-in-law?" Mei Erya felt incredible.

This sister-in-law is not like the third aunt who adds insult to injury to them and is sarcastic, but she also won't take the initiative to help them.

I suddenly gave Sanya a copper coin today. Could it be that he suddenly changed his gender?

"Send it back to your sister-in-law!"

Li thought for a while, grabbed the copper plate on the table and handed it to Mei Erya.

"Mom, what my sister-in-law gave me is mine, why do you want to send it back? Besides, my sister-in-law said that I can't let you know, so don't you want to frame my sister-in-law into injustice by sending it back like this?"

Melome grabbed the coins and counted them in her hand, twenty. She would have enough money to ride on the bullock cart when she went out to the street tomorrow.

It is said that she has never touched money since she came to this world. These twenty copper coins are just enough for her.

Mrs. Li saw Sanya's excitement in counting the money, and then looked at her face wrapped in white cloth. She wanted to leave it to her for safekeeping, but she finally swallowed it.

Melome didn't know that she had unknowingly escaped an incident of being kept "lucky money". She just felt that she was rich, and she was so happy that she wanted to jump up. Although this idea was very useless! But she didn't care.

I counted the eggs again and found that there were only six. I pursed my lips and looked unhappy again.

What can you do with a few eggs? Can you even replenish her health? Oh no!

One night went by in a blink of an eye...

Mei Luomei was pulled up from the bed by Mei Daya the next day, with her eyes closed and yawning when she was pulled up.

I got some copper coins last night, and I was so happy that I spent the whole night thinking about what to buy on the street tomorrow? What are they selling on the street? Will it be as lively as in modern times...

Well, I was so excited thinking about this that I couldn't hold it in. As a result, I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, and naturally I couldn't get up the next day.

Mei Daya screamed several times but did not get up. Watching the sky getting brighter, she was worried that she would not be able to catch the oxcart, so she directly pulled her up from the bed.

"Sanya, are you going to go to the street or not? It will be too late to fall asleep again."

"Take to the streets?"

When Merome heard the word "going to the streets", she woke up in a second and hurriedly got up to put on her clothes and shoes. After packing up, she realized that her parents and second sister had gone out long ago, and she and she were the only ones left at home.

Mei Daya.

Mei Daya and Melo Mei hurriedly carried the mushrooms on their backs to pack the mushrooms collected yesterday while no one noticed.

"Sanya, do you feel that our mushrooms have decreased?"

Mei Daya asked while pretending to be mushrooms. She always felt that there were a lot less mushrooms than yesterday.

"Oh, maybe it's because it's been piled here for a long time, and the moisture in the mushrooms has escaped, so it seems to have become less."

Melome put some mushrooms in her little back and answered calmly, but she was extremely nervous in her heart.

"Well, it's possible." Mei Daya thought about the pickles she usually dried, and found that there were indeed fewer pickles after they were dried.

Seeing that Mei Daya was not suspicious, Melo Mei felt relieved.

It was so dangerous, I almost couldn’t wear my vest!

The two of them got a few handfuls of wild vegetables to cover them, and then hurried towards the town.

"Da Ya, are you going to the street?"

The two of them walked to the roadside and were about to wait for the bullock cart. Suddenly they heard someone shouting. When they turned around and looked, it turned out to be Aunt Wang.

"Aunt Wang, are you going to the street too?" Mei Daya greeted Aunt Wang.

"Yeah, let's go see Feng'er. He hasn't had a rest recently. I'll go and give him something."

Aunt Wang walked closer with the baggage on her shoulders. When she saw Meromei's face, she took a breath of cold air and said, "Third girl, your face looks like this after being beaten by that old scoundrel! Why is this guy who killed a thousand swords like this?"

You're so cruel, if I hadn't gone out yesterday, I would have scolded her for you. This is your granddaughter, how could you do this?"

Aunt Wang took Melome's hand, her face full of regret. Suddenly something occurred to her, and she hurriedly unpacked her bag, took out an oil paper bag, opened it, and took out a chicken drumstick.

"Come on, Sanya, I'll give you a chicken drumstick to eat and make up for it."

"Auntie, you prepared this specially for Brother Du, so you should give it to him."

Before Melomei could speak, Mei Daya had already rejected it for her.

She took her sister's hand and coaxed: "Sanya, I will buy meat for you after I sell my purse."

Melome “…”

She really treats her like a child!

Aunt Wang wanted to persuade her again, but when she found that the bullock cart had come, she hurriedly stuffed the chicken legs into Merome's hands, and then quickly climbed onto the bullock cart.

Melome looked at the sudden extra chicken drumstick in her hand and couldn't laugh or cry. It seemed impossible to give it back, so she took out a handkerchief from her arms, wrapped the drumstick and put it into her sleeve, and then followed suit with Mei Daya's help.

Climbed into the bullock cart.

As soon as I got on the bullock cart, I found that there were quite a few people inside, including a familiar face, Liu Er and his wife Zhang Meihua.

I don’t seem to have anything to say today, so I just hope you guys will give me a cry (;︵;`)
