80s: The Farmer’s Wife Is The Boss

Chapter 102, three turns and two rings (please vote for recommendation)

However, Mei Xue is in a bit of a dilemma now. Does she really not want to teach them how to make wine?

But after thinking about it, I might as well forget it.

On this day, Mei Xue took the lead and took three and a half-year-old boys to pick wild grapes on their mountain.

Because she wanted a lot, she spent the whole day picking. She ate a bit of lunch and everyone went up the mountain again.

When Grandma He saw the grapes in the yard, she quickly put them into the utility room, otherwise she would definitely be harmed by the chickens in the yard.

It wasn't until night, when Mei Xue came back with three people and found that the grapes at home were no less than a hundred catties, that Mei Xue stopped.

“Okay, there’s no need to go tomorrow.” Mei Xue said with a satisfied look on her face as she looked at so many grapes.

"Sister-in-law, you can't go even if you want to. We all have to go to school tomorrow." An Liang sat on the ground weakly, holding a cup in his hand, drinking water while answering.

"Ah, don't you have two days off?" Mei Xue really didn't know.

"There are only two days, just a day and a half, half a day on Friday and one day on Saturday. I have to go to school tomorrow morning." An Liang felt that going to school was really hard.

He still had to do so much homework. Thinking of this, An Liang cried: "Ugh, sister-in-law, I haven't even finished my homework yet."

This time it was Mei Xue's turn to feel a little embarrassed. After all, she had delayed their homework, "How about I help you do it?" The education at this time should not be as good as hers, right?

“Sister-in-law, do you know how to do it?” An Liang smiled bitterly, “Forget it, I’ll do the same thing at night, as long as I can hand it over to the teacher tomorrow.” At worst, I’ll sleep less.

Meixue really wanted to say that she could, but she swallowed the words that came to her lips, "Okay, I'll give you a good dose tonight."

Grandma He has been listening to the conversation of several people and is very happy.

"Take it up, make it up. Grandma made bone soup for you today to make up for your brain." Grandma He's words hurt her heart.

 After having a good meal at the third grandma’s house, the three of them hurried back home.

Mei Xue arrived and she was not too tired, but when she saw grandma busy there, she felt a little distressed and said, "Grandma has worked hard today. I will be at home tomorrow, so you can stay away from the fields." She has to water the vegetables this afternoon.

She filled the pool yesterday, but it was not easy to water such a large area.

 “It’s okay, grandma can still work.” She’s not too tired, she used to work a lot.

 “Grandma is great.” She is coaxing the children.

With help from others, we have all the raw materials. We will clean and dry them tomorrow, and then we can squeeze the grapes. These wild grapes are not as big as the grapes grown at home. They are only about the size of a little finger. Even if they weigh a hundred kilograms, they can be packed. It will be good to finish three or four tanks.

Wine is different from plum wine. Plum wine needs wine as a primer, while wine has to ferment on its own, otherwise it won’t be able to produce wine.

The next day, Mei Xue got up early and tidied up the house, fed the chickens and piglets, and then took out the grapes from the utility room to wash.

 Fortunately, there is a shaking well in the yard, otherwise we would have to move it to the back of the house, which would be very troublesome.

Grandma He may have been tired yesterday and got up a little late today. She didn’t come out of the house until Mei Xue asked her to get up for breakfast.

When he came out, Mei Xue clearly felt that there was something wrong with his feet.

“Grandma, does your leg hurt?” she asked, looking at her as she walked a little unsteadily.

Grandma He held on to the door frame and said, "No more." She waved her hand, "It's not painful, maybe I haven't done so much work for a long time, and my legs are a little sore." Grandma He didn't lie to Xiaoxue either.

“After you got married, you said to yourself, how long has it been since grandma did any heavy work.” After saying this, Grandma He looked happy.

Mei Xue was happy, "Grandma, please take more rest recently and don't run down the mountain. Come, I will help you." Grandma is so cute.

 At the breakfast table, Mei Xue asked about An Wen's blind date.

"I heard that the girl is pretty good-looking. What is her temperament? Your Aunt Xilian thinks she's passable. She's not a strong-willed girl. In terms of character, the matchmaker said she's not bad." Grandma He said while eating.

"Can you trust what the matchmaker says?" Mei Xue didn't understand. Like a matchmaker, she would definitely not say that the person she introduced was bad. She would usually say the best.

"Don't worry about it. The matchmaker is your grandma Meng's daughter-in-law. You have to call her Aunt Yanzi when you see her. The girl is from her natal family, but there are a lot of brothers in the family." Of course Grandma He inquired clearly.

"Oh, have you taken a fancy to Anwen?" Since there are people from the village as guarantees, I think it won't be too bad.

“Anwen is like a piece of wood, he doesn’t dare to say a word when meeting people.” Speaking of this, Grandma He felt that she had no future.

 Sigh, nothing compared to that boy An Liang.

These things were what Aunt Xilian had been nagging to Grandma He after she came back, mainly because she also wanted to hear Third Aunt’s opinion.

 “Then he always knows whether he is interested in him or not.” Mei Xuefang.

"Because he should have taken a liking to her, otherwise he wouldn't have said a word." Grandma He said like a divine calculator.

　　"Okay, if you like it, there will be a happy event before the Chinese New Year." Regarding marriage, Mei Xue prefers to watch other people get married.

 “Let’s see and then talk about it, it’s still early.”

 After breakfast, Mei Xue and Grandma He were washing grapes in the yard.

But not long after, Aunt Xilian and Aunt Meilian came over.

"Why are you here? There's a big market tomorrow. If you don't make sweet-scented osmanthus cake at home, why are you here?" Grandma He asked with a questioning look on her face when she saw the visitor.

 “Oh, why don’t you come to Third Aunt for some advice.” Aunt Xilian responded quickly.

This matter is also her family's business and she needs to speak out.

"What's the matter?" Grandma He didn't retreat and asked immediately.

"What else could it be? It's not An Wen's marriage." Aunt Meilian came here to hear the news.

Aunt Xilian also nodded, "Both Zhengxi and I are a little undecided about this matter, so we want to ask Third Aunt."

Mei Xue called the two of them and listened from the sidelines.

 “Then tell me.”

It turns out that I got a reply from the girl’s family.

But the reply to this letter was really fast.

The reason is that the third brother of the girl's family is getting married, and the family has little money. Getting married now is not the same as before, where you could get a wife with just a little food. Now you have to go around and around.

That’s all money, who can come up with so much money?

 In the past, it was better to ask for tickets, which were not so expensive, but now we don’t need tickets, because those things are extremely expensive, and the sound now is not a watch, but a TV.

This thing is so expensive, who can afford it?

 So the Li family came up with the idea of ​​​​taking their sister.

 And the girl from the Li family is also a naughty girl. After knowing her family's plans, she is not stubborn and will go on a blind date. As long as she likes someone, she will accept it.

 It was better than being sold out by her family in the end. If she didn't leave a way out for herself early, she would be afraid of hard times later.

 It can be seen from this that the girl from the Li family is smart.
