80s: The Farmer’s Wife Is The Boss

Chapter 29, Grandma

Since the money from selling chickens and vegetables was still in Mei Xue’s hands, the old lady followed her without saying anything.

As long as she is happy.

 After buying what she needed, Mei Xue bought two pieces of mung bean cake for the old lady. They were sweet and not expensive.

Meixue is not interested in the candies that grandma mentioned. She doesn’t like sweet things. She has strong taste and likes to eat things with strong taste.

These sweet candies are not as refreshing as going home and frying some chili peppers.

“Grandma, do you have anything else to buy?” After buying everything, Mei Xue asked her grandma when she saw that everything was complete.

Grandma He would not be willing to part with it. If Xiaoxue had not bought these things today, she would have been able to use the old ones at home for many years.

“No, no, grandma, I don’t need anything.” Grandma He waved her hand and almost ran out with Mei Xue.

　　With the loot, the two of them walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative happily. On the roadside, they came to a noodle shop and ate a bowl of noodles.

This is the first time Mei Xue has eaten this thing, and she thinks it tastes delicious. In her world, such things have long since disappeared. There is not even much food, so who will make rice noodles.

“Grandma, this is delicious, please eat more.” Mei Xue put the slices of meat in her bowl into grandma’s bowl.

Of course, there are also bun sellers. These things won’t last long. Mei Xue didn’t plan to buy more, so she just bought a big meat bun, planning to have lunch that night.

 Bought six meat buns.

By the time they came back from shopping, Aunt Meilian's vegetables had been sold out, and she was waiting on the carriage.

"Third Aunt is back. It seems that she bought a lot of good things today." Not only Aunt Mei Lian was in the car, but there were other people as well.

Seeing Grandma He come back, she immediately gathered around and asked.

Grandma He is not usually a showy person, so she rarely complains about things, but it is different today.

How could she not talk about such a face-saving thing? Seeing that the old lady was interested, Mei Xue followed her.

When I got to the car, I saw Aunt Meilian drinking water. I thought she was hungry, so I took out a bun from the basket and said, "Aunt Meilian, eat quickly, you are hungry."

Aunt Mei Lian is not someone who eats people's food casually, especially after smelling the aroma of meat, she will not accept it, "No, I'm not hungry."

"Why are you being polite to me? Take it quickly and don't let them see it. There are only a few of them." Mei Xue put the bun directly into Aunt Mei Lian's hand and said.

Seeing Mei Xue like this, Aunt Mei Lian was very happy, and her eyes were red. Apart from her family members and her third aunt, she was the first person who cared so much about her.

“Hey, Auntie, listen to Xiaoxue.” Aunt Mei Lian choked and ate several big bites of the buns, fearing that she would cause trouble for Xiaoxue.

They are all from the same village, and it’s not good to give it to anyone if you don’t have some relatives or acquaintances. You’d better eat it quickly.

If you eat the steamed buns too quickly, you will choke the person. When Mei Xue saw Aunt Meilian acting like this, she quickly handed her the water and said, "Eat slowly, drink some water quickly." She patted Aunt Meilian on the back gently. shoot.

Mei Xue’s sensibleness is very popular, even her own children are not so considerate.

The people gathered quickly, and the sun was strong, so there was no place for people to take shelter in the carriage. After everyone gathered, An Cheng drove the carriage back to the village.

It was already after noon when we returned to the village. Fortunately, Grandma He and Mei Xue ate vermicelli on the street, otherwise they really wouldn’t have made it to this time.

 Get out of the car and give money, grab your things and rush home. There is nowhere else as comfortable as your own home.

 After returning home, Mei Xue sorted out the things she bought and replaced everything that needed to be replaced.

The old towel was also used as a rag. Mei Xue cut it into two pieces with scissors, and the size was just right.

Grandma He went to feed the pigs water as soon as she came back, fearing that the pigs would be in trouble.

The pig has been fed with water for some time. Now its hair is shiny and its body is getting stronger, which makes Grandma He very happy.

“Grandma, go get some sleep. It’s too early to get up, so you need to catch up on some sleep.” Mei Xue finished her work and shouted to the back of the house.

Hearing the sound, Grandma He responded cheerfully, "Hey, I'll be there in a minute."

　　It is true that I got up too early, so I have to catch up on my sleep, otherwise I won’t be able to make it through the afternoon.

Mei Xue boiled water and took a bath for herself, and then slept until about four o'clock in the afternoon.

As soon as she woke up, she heard her grandma's voice talking to others outside. When she heard it, she didn't recognize it.

Mei Xue walked out of the house. When she saw the two old ladies under the tree in her yard, Mei Xue smiled and said, "Grandma."

“Hey, Xiaoxue is awake. Is she dizzy? If she is dizzy, sit down for a while.”

 “Not dizzy, quite energetic.”

“Come here quickly, this is your Aunt Zhengting’s mother-in-law. Your name is Grandma. Among the sisters-in-law, we are the only ones left.” Grandma He sighed with a look on her face.

Meixue didn’t know what the two old ladies were talking about. From what her grandma said, she was afraid it was something sad.

 “Hello, grandma.”

"Okay, okay, okay, Xiaoxue is a capable person." The eldest grandma is not blind or deaf, and her heart is very open. She sees and hears everything Xiaoxue has done recently.

 Happy for my younger sibling.

It would be great if the Zhengjing family was like this. There would be no need to make noises at home every day and make everyone laugh.

 “Go and do your work, I’ll talk to your eldest grandma.” The eldest sister-in-law came to me to complain, so she didn’t want to let the younger generation read the joke.

Grandma also smiled and nodded, "That's right, you go and do your work, and I'll talk to your grandma."

Mei Xue didn’t ask any questions, nodded and entered the kitchen.

 Take out the purchased meat and bones, wash them, boil the oil, and stew the soup. You will have to make dinner soon, so you need to get started.

After Mei Xue left, the grandmother sighed again, "It would be great if the daughter-in-law of the Anhua family was like Xiaoxue. She is really annoying." Anhua is the son of the Zhengjing family.

 He is two years older than Anze and has been married for two years. The couple seemed to love each other at first.

 But I don’t know what’s going on recently. The couple is quarreling every day, and they barely go back to their parents’ home.

 “What does she want to do?” Grandma He asked with a frown.

"What else can I do? I want Anhua to go out to work. There is money everywhere now. Go pick it up." The grandmother said with a mocking look.

“Haha, you’re thinking too much. As a person who hasn’t graduated from elementary school, how can she find a good job when she goes out?” You know, finding a job now is not that easy.

Either you have connections, or you have craftsmanship, or you have to have a diploma. If you don’t have anything, what can a rural couple do?

“No, I told her all this, but she just couldn’t listen and scolded Anwar every day for being useless.” After all, the eldest grandma felt sorry for her grandson, “If he was useless, he wouldn’t marry her.”

Same, if you have the ability, who doesn’t have the heart to marry a good wife?

 “Did she listen to someone’s gossip outside?” Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so violent.

The eldest grandma shook her head, "I don't know. If you ask Anhua, Anhua won't tell you. He just works hard every day. It's really irritating." The eldest grandma is also very angry with her eldest grandson.

"Forget it, forget it, let him worry about it. You are not young anymore. It's time to enjoy your happiness. Why are you worrying so much? If you are upset, you can come and live here. The Zhengting family will be quiet." Grandma didn’t want to say too much.
