80s: The Farmer’s Wife Is The Boss

Chapter 13, going home

Aunt Mei Lian is here to teach Mei Xue her experience. These are the experiences she gained in exchange for her life. If it were someone else, she wouldn't necessarily say so.

 Fortunately, she is my niece.

"There are not only people from our He family in the village. This village is called Hejia Village, but there are also people with other big surnames in the village. The population is large and mixed. If you don't stand up for yourself, you can't always let the third aunt stand up for you. , she is not young anymore.”

Speaking of her third aunt, Aunt Mei Lian looked distressed again, "It's not easy for your grandma, although I don't know what happened when she was young, but I got married when Brother Zhengfeng and the others left. The hardships of the following days, If your grandma hadn't been so tough, I'm afraid your whole family would have become extinct."

 Aunt Mei Lian was a little scared when talking about some past events.

Meixue could also imagine how difficult it would be for a woman with her grandson to gain a foothold in the village.

 In addition, all the men in the family are dead, and the life will be even more difficult and miserable.

Being a grandma is not easy, so Mei Xue is determined to treat her as her own grandma from now on.

"I know that I will be filial to grandma and stand up for myself. I also know that grandma made arrangements for everyone in order to marry me. Don't worry, Aunt Mei Lian, I will never let grandma suffer again in the future."

Mei Xue thought about the original owner’s life experience, and was afraid that everyone would scold her grandma from behind.

Thinking that the original owner heard some fragments of words, Mei Xue thought of many things. Of course she knew how hard it was when she was working alone.

Now it's just a different era and a different person, but I'm not as capable as I am, so you can imagine the difficulties and obstacles involved.

"It's good if you think so. Your grandma is usually reluctant to eat or wear clothes, but she is very willing to give up on your marriage to Zhengze. You yourself know that no one in the village will go to such a colorful gift, which can cost up to 100 yuan. Even if it’s up to the sky.”

Aunt Mei Lian told Mei Xue about Grandma He’s difficulties.

“The burial for your parents and the banquets are all money. Even if there are not many dishes, there is still a tough one. Meat is not cheap now.”

Meixue recalled the time when the original owner buried her parents, but she couldn't remember the food on her table.

"And those eggs for you, they are your grandma's daily living expenses. She relies on those eggs to exchange for some salt and other things. The vegetables are still grown last year, because when you come in, you will have all the eggs. All the money was lost.”

Only her own family knew about these things. How could anyone outside know about these things? Mei Xue felt a sore nose when she heard Aunt Mei Lian talking about these things.

"Aunt Meilian, please stop talking. I understand everything. I understand everything. Those eggs and sugar water that I understand every day, I know they were all saved by grandma for me."

Mei Xue was really sad. She knew that her grandma was very kind to her, but she didn't expect her to be so kind. She didn't know what kind of grudges made her pay so much.

Grandma also told herself that she was rich, rich, but in fact, where did she have money?

When Aunt Meilian saw Mei Xue crying, she also felt a little regretful, "Auntie didn't keep her mouth shut, so don't cry, just keep it in your heart. I'm not telling you how to repay this kindness, I just want you to know Your grandma’s devotion to you.”

 From the bottom of my heart, I just want my third aunt to have a better life and not be so miserable.

"Well, I understand, I understand everything. Thank you, Aunt Mei Lian. If you ask anything from now on, I won't even take a nap." Mei Xue did her best to return the favor.

“We are all members of our own family, why can’t you help me when I ask you to help? Okay, let’s not talk about this, just collect your tears, and don’t go back and be seen by my third aunt, or she will deal with me.”

Along the way, Aunt Mei Lian made fun of Mei Xue.

　　It was past twelve o'clock when we returned to the village, and the smell of rice was wafting from every house.

Mei Xue’s stomach growled in anger.

"Go home quickly, I'm afraid the third aunt is impatient." Aunt Mei Lian urged Mei Xue as she lifted the basket from the carriage.

Meixue felt a little embarrassed, "It's okay, I'll wait for Aunt Mei Lian to go up with her." Their home had to go through a mountain road, which was full of stones, so it wasn't difficult to get there.

 It’s just that it rained heavily this morning and the rocks were a little slippery.

It's better to wait for Aunt Meilian to come with us. No matter how hungry we are, we don't miss this time.

 I think grandma has also prepared the rice. If we go back and eat the ready-made food, we won’t be hungry for long.

Aunt Mei Lian smiled and said nothing more. She picked up the burden and went up with Mei Xue.

The carriage and horse fare is not expensive, only 20 cents. For such a long journey, it is not expensive to pay 20 cents plus a load. They are all from the same village, just taking the road.

Of course, if you don’t bring anything with you, everyone would prefer to go alone and save as much as you can.

When Mei Xue and Aunt Meilian were saying goodbye, she looked at a person walking not far away, and Mei Xue's eyes lit up.

 “Grandma.”

That person was none other than Grandma He who had been waiting at home. It rained so heavily in the morning. If it weren't for her age, she really didn't want Xiaoxue to go out alone.

There is no other way. If this old bone is exposed to rain all morning and is shaken by driving back and forth, I am afraid that the person will fall over.

But the vegetables at home could not be wasted, so Xiaoxue had to go with Mei Lian to sell the vegetables.

 She became anxious when she didn't see any cars coming back on the road at noon.

 But there is no point in being anxious. We can only prepare lunch first. What if Xiaoxue is hungry when she comes back?

In order to find something to do for herself and stop thinking about things, Grandma He made a hearty lunch.

 Just wait for Xiaoxue to come back to eat.

But when the dishes were almost cold, there was still no one there. A car had arrived earlier, but there was no snow in the car, so she ran home again to heat up the dishes.

Just when he was in a hurry, he heard Mei Lian's voice, and he ran out in a hurry.

“Hey, Xiaoxue is back, are you tired? Are you hungry? Grandma has cooked. Come on, let’s go home for dinner.” Grandma He stepped up and walked towards Xiaoxue.

Xiaoxue, after being taught by Aunt Meilian along the way, had long missed her grandma. When they met, Xiaoxue didn't care about Aunt Meilian, who had not left, and hurriedly ran to her grandma.

 “Hey, I’m hungry, grandma.” She didn’t give the burden on her shoulders to her grandma because there were many things in it and it was heavy.

"Go back and eat when you are hungry." After saying that, Grandma He looked at Mei Lian who was entering the house, "Mei Lian is troubling you, Xiaoxue has caused trouble for you along the way."

“Third aunt said this as if we are not a family. At least Xiaoxue also calls me aunt.” Aunt Mei Lian replied with a smile.

Grandma He knew that she was kind and kind, so she dared to entrust Xiaoxue to her, "Okay, come back quickly. You have been tired all morning. Go back and eat quickly. Lixia is still waiting at home."

 “Hey, I’ll be back soon, I’ll be back soon.”
