80s: The Farmer’s Wife Is The Boss

Chapter 51, Variables (please vote for recommendation)

"Who's to blame? I asked him to come. If he doesn't come, why should he blame me, huh." Mei Xue was not happy.

 She just wanted to help An Liang and An Wen because she liked them. An Shan and the others were not familiar with her, so what if they didn't help.

Seeing that Xiaoxue was unhappy, Grandma He sighed and said nothing more.

"Grandma, don't worry. It's not our fault. Helping is a matter of friendship, not helping is a duty. We don't owe their family anything." Seeing her grandma thinking too much, Mei Xue immediately comforted her.

Grandma Lihe doesn’t understand this, which is why she doesn’t want to interact with more people on weekdays.

“That’s right, forget it, forget it, let’s see again tomorrow.”

 Have a good night’s sleep.

 Aunt Ting's family is indeed in some trouble.

The main problem lies with He Zhengting. After he heard about it when he came back at noon, he wanted An Lin to learn it. After all, he was also an elder brother and was about to get married. It was good to learn a craft.

But Aunt Ting didn’t want to. The person she came to call was Anshan, and now it’s Anlin. I’m afraid that the third aunt will have something in mind.

 Furthermore, An Lin also has his own little ideas. Anyway, he expressed his stance that he wants to learn from it.

 And Anshan is still a child, but he is not stupid. There are two brothers in the family. He knows that his father likes the eldest brother more, but this time his sister-in-law calls him, and he does not want to miss it.

He has seen that plum wine before, and it sells very expensively. It is right next to the school, and he often hears his classmates talk about it.

 So, Aunt Ting’s family delayed this matter because of who they asked to learn.

 Finally, after dinner, He Zhengting made the decision and asked An Lin to study.

 Anshan had a bad temper all night, and his relationship with his brother became worse and worse.

Mei Xue and others don't know these things, mainly because Uncle Zhengting is a good-faced person.

Everyone knows that there will be no quarrels at home.

 The next day, just after breakfast, three families were welcomed outside Mei Xue’s yard.

 The male owners of the three families came with their children. He Zhengcai and He Zhengxi both carried some gifts in their hands, such as a piece of bacon or a wax rabbit.

Only He Zhengting was empty-handed. As soon as the three of them met, they all smiled and said hello.

Grandma He is hanging clothes outside. Mei Xue has washed all the clothes. She is washing dishes in the kitchen at this time.

　　"Why did you meet each other? Come in quickly." Fortunately, my yard is big enough.

“Third aunt.” He Zhengting and the other three shouted in unison.

As for Anlin and the others, they called her Third Grandma.

“Sit down and wait until I finish the work.” Grandma He was a very discerning person. When she saw An Lin coming over, she knew something must have happened.

Xiaoxue didn’t say yesterday whether she wanted An Lin or An Shan to come, but when she said it in the past, she meant An Shan, but today it’s An Lin who came, I’m afraid...

Grandma He shouted into the kitchen. "Xiaoxue, please stop working now. Uncle Zhengting and the others are here."

Mei Xue had already heard the sound, but the bowl in her hand would be washed soon, so she was not in a hurry, "Hey, here it comes." She said to the outside.

　　"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, third aunt." The three of them were a little embarrassed.

"What's the rush? You'll have to chop wood later. That's money, so we can't delay it." Grandma He said to them as she hung up the clothes.

“It doesn’t matter if we delay for a day.” He Zhengting said with a smile.

He Zhengcai and He Zhengxi didn't speak, mainly because they thought it was important to delay for one day. If it weren't for the purpose of sending something, they really wouldn't have planned to come.

Anwen pulled An Lin and ran to Mei Xue's wine vat, letting him smell it to see if it smelled like plums.

An Lin didn’t understand, so he actually went up to smell it, and when he smelled it, it smelled of wine and not a bit of plum.

 An Liang was playing with the water by the well, and helped the third grandma fill two empty buckets with water.

Meixue quickly walked out of the kitchen. When she saw people, she called out one by one: "Uncle Zhengting, Uncle Zhengxi, Uncle Zhengcai."

"Hey, Xiaoxue is good." When He Zhengcai saw Xiaoxue coming out, he immediately handed over his rabbit, "Xiaoxue, let me give you a taste of this. Uncle has something else to do, so he will leave first. An Liang will leave it to you. If there is any work, just ask him to do it.”

The sun is rising soon, so I have to go.

He Zhengxi heard what He Zhengcai said and took out his piece of bacon, "That's right, An Wen will be left to you. You can let him do any heavy work. He is stronger than An Liang."

“We still have to chop wood, Aunt Xiaoxue, let’s leave first.” The two put their things on the table and walked out of the courtyard.

As he walked, he told his sons to obey.

 This made He Zhengting a little embarrassed. He came today mainly to ask about Xiaoxue's wine making. He was somewhat sure about it.

 Just because they knew his temper, He Zhengcai and He Zhengxi ran as fast as rabbits.

 Mei Xue was stunned.

 “What are you bringing things for? It’s so troublesome.” Grandma He cursed behind her in annoyance.

 But as long as they have the intention.

 An Liang and An Wen were confused when they heard what their father said. Are they being sold?

Mei Xue didn't waste any time. She would have to pick plums later. "Did Uncle Zheng Ting send An Lin to learn how to make wine?" Mei Xue said directly.

He Zhengting is the kind of person who likes to take things slowly. Mei Xue's directness made him a little uncomfortable and he frowned.

Who is Grandma He? She knows all these nephews very well. After hanging up the clothes, she put the pots away and said, "Zhengting, would you like An Lin to come to your house?"

"If it's An Lin, let him prepare a vat, wine, and sugar, and we'll go pick plums together later. All the plums at home have been used up." Grandma He's words were very direct. She pulled away from Mei Xue and sat down. Opposite He Zhengting.

Mei Xue glanced at An Liang, An Wen, and An Lin, and frowned.

 She regretted it now. These things were so troublesome and it would be better to do them alone.

He Zhengting had a headache when he saw Third Aunt coming to talk to him. He knew very well what kind of person Third Aunt was, so he had to bite the bullet and nodded.

Seeing him nod, Grandma He spoke again, "How much wine do you plan to make? An Liang made forty kilograms, and Anwen made about sixty or seventy kilograms. What about your family?"

Before He Zhengting could be surprised, Grandma He dropped a bomb again, "My Xiaoxue is responsible for teaching, but there is no guarantee that it will be successful. After all, everyone's brew tastes different. According to preliminary estimates, it will cost at least ten or twenty yuan." money."

You know, wood only costs a few cents per hundred pounds, and it will take several days to cut it to earn back the money.

Grandma He throws away all the blame. Anyway, the conditions are like this. If you can accept it, then learn together. If you are afraid of not succeeding, then please leave.

 Grandma He was very tough regarding the Xiaoxue incident. ,

This is also the reason why Aunt Xilian and Aunt Meilian didn't come to ask, for fear of making the third aunt unhappy.

I walked too much yesterday and can’t even get up today. Oh, it would be great if I could just lie down and type.
