Leftover Girl's Neverland

Chapter 27 Temple Fair ([-])

With Meng Zhen's permission, the villagers began to fetch spring water one after another.Most people are very self-conscious, and a family only takes two or three buckets, enough to water their own vegetable fields and fruit trees.Although many people want to water the wheat field, but there are more than 100 households in the whole village, and the lotus pond is only [-]% big, which is not realistic at all.

But this is just the thinking of ordinary people. For people who are usually more calculating, it is another manifestation.

After Meng Zhen had lunch, he pressed Xiong Xiong to bathe it in the yard.This guy is usually obedient in everything he does, but he doesn't cooperate when he takes a bath.

Although it is only two months old, it has sufficient daily nutrition and is quite energetic. After Meng Zhen washed it, he was sweating all over.

"Hey, I have never seen such a thick-skinned person."

Seeing that the door of Meng Zhen’s house was open, Second Aunt Meng walked in with a greeting. After entering the door, she saw that Meng Zhen was wiping the water off the dog’s body with a towel, and said, “Zhen Ni’er, many folks went to your lotus pond to pick up water today. Shui, why don't you go and watch, you still have time to play with the dog at home?"

"Second Aunt, what happened?"

Meng Zhen hurriedly asked Second Aunt Meng to sit on the stone bench, seeing her angry face.

"You are so generous,"

It turned out that Second Aunt Meng went to work in the field after lunch, and she didn't care when she saw Meng Zhen's lotus pond surrounded by people carrying buckets to fetch water, until the crowd heard 'too much' and 'Why is she like this'? There was a discussion, she leaned over to take a look, and found that Meng Fanli's family had put a water pump there to fetch water. The long leather pipe was connected to the wheat field of the family, and the water was rushing, and the water level was falling rapidly. Seeing the water in the pond Almost one-third of the water has been pumped out.

The people in the village don't like her demeanor, but this woman is a well-known shrew here, and they usually don't want to provoke her.Because Second Aunt Meng lived in the front and back yards of Meng Zhen and got along very well, she liked her for being easy-going and able to do things. Besides, she really couldn't stand Meng Fanli's wife's sarcastic appearance, so she went over and said a few words to her, but was rejected. They said, "I didn't say anything about Zhen Nier, what's your business?" I pushed back.

She was so angry that she didn't go to the wheat field, but went directly to Meng Zhen's house.

Meng Zhen didn't know how to evaluate this sturdy woman after listening to the second aunt's story.

"This Liu Yumei is really a mean daughter-in-law that we have never met in the village for decades. Her mother-in-law became angry and sick within two days after she passed the house, and she refused to take good care of the patient. Her mother-in-law passed away in a few years. Brother Qingwu couldn't stand her either. I would rather live alone in a hut in a wheat field than live under her hands."

"For this reason, Meng Qingyu dislikes Meng Fanli and his wife. According to the relationship, Meng Fanli is his serious cousin, but Meng Qingyu has never given him a good face, nor has he given him a single cent. Good thing. Especially this time Qingwu Ge died in the wheat field in the middle of the night, and no one knew about it. The people in the village saw him the next day when they went to work in the field, and his body was so stiff at that time. Alas, everyone said raising children to guard against old age, but this The son is useless and the wife is unfilial, let Brother Qing Wu go away in such a miserable way."

"So, there is still land in this house. If you didn't take it over, according to Meng Qingyu's thinking at the time, he would rather leave it empty than give it to them. No one in the village is willing to deal with them. How can you expect people who are not filial to their own elders to be kind to others?"

"Jenner, although the spring is alive, it will still spew out if the pond is emptied, but the hole cannot be opened, and she will be addicted to taking advantage of it. What I do today is to explore the way. If you don't say anything, she will I only think that you are easy to bully, and you will make more progress in the future!" "Well, I see, Second Aunt, thank you for reminding me."

After hearing this, Meng Zhen thought for a while and said, "I asked Mr. Wang to help me make the fence. It will be finished in a few days. I will go to the lotus pond later. If she is still there, stop her. After all, there are still people in the pond. The fish I stocked. I asked everyone to carry the water, but I didn’t want to monopolize the spring water, and now she’s doing this, it’s a bit too much!”

"Yes, that's what I mean. Everyone in the village knows that you are generous. But for such a person, you take care of everyone and others appreciate it, but she will take advantage of you and call you a fool in her heart—"

Just as he was talking, a voice came from the horn on the telegraph pole outside the courtyard:

"Everyone pay attention, everyone pay attention, now I have good news to tell everyone, the heads of every family should hurry to the yard!"

"Everyone pay attention, everyone pay attention, the heads of each family hurry to the courtyard, I have good news to tell everyone!"

"What's the shout inside?"

Second Aunt Meng was talking just now, so she didn't listen carefully.

"It seems to be Village Chief Meng, who said that he asked the heads of the various households to gather in the courtyard, and there is good news to announce!"

The voice from the speaker was repeated several times, and it was vague, and Meng Zhen also got a rough idea of ​​it.

"Oh, let's go quickly, maybe something good will happen!"

"I'll go as well?"

"That's right, isn't your family the head of the house? Our head of the house has gone to collect goods, so I will go for him. Let's go and have a look!"

As he spoke, he dragged Meng Zhen towards the yard in Zhuangdongtou. On the way, there were also villagers rushing one after another, discussing with each other what good news they had.

When I came to the yard, I saw that Village Chief Meng had placed a desk in the center, and he was sitting behind the desk, chatting with the villagers who had come earlier.

Seeing that almost everyone came, Village Chief Meng cleared his throat: "Everyone is here, I have good news to announce."

"Village chief, what's the good news, do you want to send money?"

"Yes, how much did you send?"

The people in the village were discussing in a hurry, and the voice of Village Chief Meng was almost drowned in the huge courtyard.

"Quiet—"

He shouted at the top of his voice for a long time, and everyone finally calmed down slowly.

"It's not money, it's like this, this year our city will hold a temple fair on 'March [-]'—"

"Village chief, what does holding a temple fair have to do with us? This is the good news you want to say?!"

"That's right, we usually go to a big fair, why don't we go to a temple fair?!"

"That's right, what good news is this!"

"Quiet—you listen to me. There is a temple fair in the city, and we will give you a booth in the west of the city. You can sell any rare things you have. The booth is free. Isn't that good news?"

Afraid of being interrupted again, Meng Fanhao finished speaking in one breath.

"Rare things? Are there any rare things in our village?"

"That's right, that's right, we just grow persimmons, apricots, and vegetables, which are sold everywhere now!"

"That's right, you can't sell vegetables at temple fairs, right?"

Meng Fanhao saw that some people had started to leave disappointedly, so he said loudly: "Why not, let's just say Mr. Wang, the bamboo baskets, straw mats and slippers you weaved are all folk art, and they can be sold at temple fairs." And that grandma Meng Liu, the tiger-toed shoes you made and the embroidered coarse cloth bags are very rare. Also, there is also Meng Zhen, the persimmons in your house are already ripe, when the time comes You can just take it, everyone’s persimmons are ripe in September, and yours is the only one. And..."

Village head Meng commented on the people in the village one by one, not knowing what to say. With his count, there are quite a lot of things in the village that can be put on the temple fair.

The people in the village heard what the village chief said, and it made sense after thinking about it, so they began to discuss what they could participate in the temple fair.

Seeing the lively atmosphere, Village Chief Meng continued: "In order to allow everyone to participate in the temple fair easily, the village committee decided to hire a large truck to deliver goods for everyone for free. Those who want to participate now can go to the village committee accountant Meng." Sign up there, even if there are no rare things for sale, you can also go to the city with everyone. The travel expenses are saved..."
