Chapter 272
Because Li Yuan lived closest to Li Meier's house, she was the first to come, followed by her little follower, her younger brother Li Wei who was just three years old.

Li Yuan was very embarrassed, and said to Li Mei'er with a blushing face, "My mother insists that I bring my brother with me..."

Li Meier understood Li Yuan very well, patted her on the shoulder lightly and said, "It's okay, I prepared a lot of food today, enough for everyone to eat, you take Ah Wei to have some snacks first."

Li Yuan took her younger brother and went in first.The sisters from the Li family also came not long after, and they brought Li Meier a gift, a basket of fresh peaches.

"These are peaches grown by my grandfather's family. They are sweet and delicious. You can share them with everyone later." Li Yuanxia was obviously in a good mood, and said to Li Meier with a smile.

Li Mei'er took the peaches and praised: "It looks delicious." Then she entered the room with the two of them.On the way, she also asked the two of them, "What's so interesting about your grandfather's house?"

"My grandparents lived in the next town, and they lived in the outskirts of the town. There was a large orchard next to it, and a lot of fruits were planted in it. When we went there, the peaches were ripe, so we went to pick them. A few months earlier, there was still There are red bayberries and strawberries, and the red bayberries are delicious, if I go next year, I will pick a basket for you." Li Yuanxia said with a smile, his face was very bright.Li Yuanchun obviously didn't have the gloom of the previous days, and echoed with a smile: "The fruiting period of red bayberry is too short, but the fruiting period of strawberries is long, and it will ripen in winter. When the time comes, my grandfather's house will definitely Bring the fresh ones over, and we'll bring them to Sister Meier for you to try."

"Then I'll just wait, you know I like eating strawberries the most." Li Meier agreed with a smile, glad that the two sisters have come out of the haze of the previous days.

Jiang Hehua was the last one to arrive. Since his parents both worked in Jiang's shop, he occasionally visited Li's house as a guest, and he knew Li Meier very well. She also brought a gift, which was a basket of salted duck eggs. , her mother marinated it by herself, and it is the most delicious to eat with white porridge.

When all the people on Li Meier's side arrived, they began to chat while eating. Since everyone else had brought gifts, Li Yuan felt even more embarrassed. She didn't dare to move when faced with the food at the table, but his younger brother Li Wei didn't know what it means to be polite. After eating, he asked for another, and his mouth didn't stop for a moment.

Li Yuan's head almost fell to her chest, and she regretted so much that she listened to her mother's words and brought her younger brother over, but now everyone was here, so she could only hold back her shame and continue to sit.

Li Meier also noticed her discomfort, and tried to talk to her to ease her embarrassment, and put some snacks on her plate from time to time to make her feel more at ease.

"Have you heard? The fishing port under Xiangshan County seems to be full of pirates." Jiang Hehua suddenly said mysteriously.

Since Jiang Xu was out all day, he naturally had more sources of news. Sometimes he would gossip with his wife about recent major events at home, and Jiang Hehua would naturally listen to him.

"Japanese pirates! Really? That's too scary, won't you come to our place?" Li Yuanxia obviously heard the name of Japanese pirates, and said with some fear.

"What are you afraid of? The Japanese pirates came across the ocean, how many people can come to our place? With so many of us, we can kill them all with one punch." Li Meier was not afraid at all, and she had never heard of any troubles in their town in her previous life. Japanese pirates should be fine.

"What Meier said is true. Isn't there a militia in our town? It should be fine." Li Yuanchun didn't take the pirates seriously, and said with a smile.

"But I heard that there seemed to be a lot of Japanese pirates coming this time. There was a whole boat, and many people died in the fishing port." Jiang Hehua still said with some fear. She overheard the news. She said that she was so scared that she had nightmares at night.

"It's so serious, has it been reported to the state government?" Li Meier also paid attention to the words and asked.

"I don't know about this, but it must be reported, after all, he is dead." Jiang Hehua said with lingering fear.

"But Yugang Village is still far away from us, more than 200 miles away, and the Japanese pirates probably won't come here." Li Yuanchun was also a little scared at the moment, and said with a frown.

"Our town is a big town, so it should be fine." Although Li Meier said so, she was a little worried in her heart, and made up her mind not to go out casually during this period of time if there was nothing to do.

"Mei'er, hasn't your father come back from the state capital yet? Do you want to wait until Qiu Wei releases the rankings before coming back?" Xu said that the topic of Japanese pirates was too heavy. Li Yuanchun saw that everyone's faces were not good, so he immediately changed the subject and asked.

"No, didn't my uncle also participate in Qiu Wei this time? He still has some things in the county school over there. He has to come back later. My father will be later with him, but he will definitely be able to come back before the Double Ninth Festival. of."

"If both uncle Wutang and your uncle can win the exam, then your house will be very lively." Li Yuanxia said with a smile.

"My grandmother said that if my father wins this time, there will be a three-day feast." Li Meier also covered her mouth and smiled.

"Then we will all come, sticky and happy." Li Yuanxia and Li Yuanchun said together.The atmosphere immediately relaxed again.

At noon, a few people ate the pot, boiled mutton and vegetables with mutton soup, and prepared dry noodles and steamed buns. They were sweating profusely from eating.

After lunch, the few sat and chatted for a while, and then prepared to leave.

Li Meier sent them out, except for Jiang Hehua, the others lived very close to Li Meier's house, they could just walk back.Li Meier had just sent the little friends away, and Jiang Shanqing and a few boys also came out.

Li Mei'er looked back at their blushing faces, frowned and asked, "Have you been drinking?"

Li Ang reacted the fastest, and immediately shook his head in denial, "No~~ how can we drink!" But after he said this, he hiccupped, and even if he was a few steps away, Li Meier could smell the wine taste.

"He said he didn't drink it!" Li Meier frowned and questioned dissatisfied.

"It's none of my business, brother A Yi brought the wine!" Li Ang sold Zhou Muyi without any psychological burden.

Zhou Muyi glared at Li Ang, and immediately begged Li Meier in a good voice: "Sister Meier, let's just drink a little, just to taste, you must not complain to Aunt Jiang."

Li Meier squinted at them one by one, snorted heavily, and said: "Forget it this time, next time you drink, you have to bring me!"

Zhou Muyi was stunned for a moment, thinking that he heard it wrong, shouldn't it mean that you are not allowed to drink anymore next time, what does it mean to bring me.

"What kind of wine do you drink at the girl's house?" Jiang Shanqing suddenly coughed and said with a straight face.

"If you can drink, so can I. Don't you always say that men and women are equal." Li Meier choked Jiang Shanqing and said.
