"I'll buy some meat today. I haven't eaten meat in a long time!"

"Didn't you eat fish a few days ago?"

"Your dad, I don't want white meat like fish, I want red meat, and pork belly is the best!"

Mei Mei and Mei You didn't expect that the one who was least calm would be Mei Youqian.

Did you agree that when you go out, it will be extra calm if you have an adult with you?

Before leaving Jiubaoxuan, I made an appointment with Lin Shoucai to take a boat back.

There was still more than an hour before the return trip, and Mei Youqian was very excited.

I just want to buy meat!

"Mom, please take it easy, my family has 'no money', and the old house is..."

In public, Meiberry reminded in a low voice, "Don't attract anyone's attention!"

After Mei Dahu injured his leg, people from the old house came over to talk about it.

At that time, her father and Mei Sanma went to visit out of love, and the two brothers carried two big bones together.

He was still disliked by her mother for a long time. At that time, Mei Youqian wanted to take those two big stick bones back.

If he doesn't eat and gets sick, he goes home and makes bone soup to drink!

After coming back, Mei Youqian only said that Mei Dahu was very tired and lost a lot of weight. Although he was able to get to the ground with a cane, he still looked quite embarrassed.

Because of the injury, the gloom between his eyebrows made people uncomfortable.

Especially when he saw himself and Mei Sanma looking so energetic and lively, his face became even more disgusting.

After hearing Mei Youqian's description, Wei Meili told them not to be too public.

Pinkeye does not distinguish between eras, there are people like this at all times.

"Let's just buy some braised pork and cook it. We don't need to use an open fire to cook it when we go home. Won't it lose the taste? No one can notice it."

Mei Youqian had a good idea, Mei Qian and Mei You had nothing to say, they could only follow Mei Youqian and watch him buy.

But occasionally Meiyou will buy some.

Really, what her second uncle described was too tempting.

Whether it's the braised pork with a strong sauce flavor or the sweet and glutinous pastries, Mei Youqian's mouth is almost blown to the sky.

Even the food store owners smiled happily after hearing this and even gave some away.

Mei Youqian's backpack was quickly filled with all the things they bought, and when he was heading towards the pier, he didn't expect to meet Mei Yang, who was walking with his classmates.

"Huh?"

When Mei Youqian saw Mei Yang, he sighed in his heart because of his blood relationship, but he still had to say hello.

What surprised Mei Youqian was that before he could say hello, Mei Yang turned around and started chatting with the classmates next to him.

As if he didn't recognize the three people coming towards him, he walked straight past Mei Youqian.

"This fourth child..."

When Mei Youqian saw Mei Yang's virtue, he didn't know how to define his behavior.

He couldn't help but gloat to his daughter: "With Mei Yang's virtue, how good can he be to the people of Lao Mei's family in the future? It's a good thing that we don't listen to your father's PUA.

Looking at the scholarly attire of the fellow traveler, I guess the family situation is pretty good. I think this fourth child has the potential to be a supercilious wolf. He hasn't even become a scholar yet, and he starts to ignore his own family. Tsk, tsk, tsk...

I don’t know if Mei Dahu and Old Mei will regret raising such a thing in the future.”

"That's not necessarily true. In ancient times, people still attached great importance to this kind of ethical principles. If a reputation for being unfilial was spread... he wouldn't even be able to be an official."

Mayberry felt that the other party would become a hypocrite at best, and not as outrageous as her father said.

But as soon as Mei Berry finished speaking, she met the speechless eyes of her father and Mei You.

"What's wrong?"

Mei Berry looked at the expressions of the two of them and was very confused.

Was what she just said wrong?

"Why...why do you think he can be an official?"

Mei spoke first, and was a little hard to explain about Mei Berry's hypothesis.

And her words were affirmed by Mei Youqian: "Yes, yes! I heard Shopkeeper Lin talk about the imperial examination today. Hey! It seems more difficult than your college entrance examination. How can he pass the examination like that?"

Mei Youqian said with disdain on his face: "It's not that I look down on him, I really find it difficult. Is there smoke coming out of the grave of Lao Mei's family? The whole family is crooked and broken...anyway, I

Even if you can't pass the exam, it will be even harder for him!"

Mayberry:???

Isn't it normal for her father to fail the exam?

Mei You: "..."

Although...but there was really no need for her second uncle to say the last sentence.

***

"Brother Youyang, I saw you were restless when you came back from the dock. Did something happen?"

Mei Yang was distracted there, thinking about Mei Youqian whom he had just seen, when he was suddenly called back to attention by his classmates, and was a little stunned.

"No, it's nothing." Mei Yang shook his head, the smile on his face was a little forced, "I'm just a little nervous for those senior brothers...

Two days ago, when I heard my husband give his final thoughts to the seniors, I saw the expressions on his faces were somewhat serious, and some of the seniors were nervous because they were rushing to take the exam."

"Hey, don't mention this matter. Be careful when Mr. Mister comes back and ask us to write a policy. Since his wife passed away a few years ago, his temper has become more and more unstable. He probably can only show off his colors towards the two-year-old.

…”

Mei Yang could see the troubled expression on his classmate's face, but the words he muttered in his low voice became increasingly unworthy of hearing.

Mei Yang only listened once and then simply turned his head and continued reading his book.

Mei Yang couldn't help but think of everything that happened today.

The fingertips that lifted the pages of the book trembled slightly, and finally he closed the book in his hand and pressed it on the desk. He closed his eyes and frowned, as if he was suppressing some anger.

His mind couldn't help but think of the Dragon Boat Festival a few months ago. What happened at home was something Mei Yang had never thought of.

The brothers, who had always been honest and taciturn, suddenly separated, their personalities changed drastically, and their words became aggressive;

The two timid and timid sisters-in-law also began to speak sharply, and even his mother could not explain it.

Different from the past when they looked at her with flattering smiles, for the first time, Mei Yang felt despised, ignored or even disliked by everyone.

His father also told him in private with a tired look on his face that after he passed the scholar examination next year, he would start arranging marriage arrangements for him, and when they got married, the family would be completely separated.

Do they, these people, despise themselves like this?

A bunch of short-sighted people who are digging in the ground!

Mei Yang gritted his teeth and cursed these people secretly, thinking that he would make them regret it when he won!

Even today, on the one hand, Mei Yang didn't want his classmates to know about his family situation, but on the other hand, he didn't expect that "his own family" would dislike him first.

What a deception!

…

For Mei Pei and his family, Mei Yang is just an episode, not worth thinking about for a few more minutes.

The boat ride home went smoothly.

When Mei Mei and Mei Youqian returned home, Wei Meili had already boiled the bath water.

After the father and daughter were cleaned, the family sat in the yard to eat and enjoy the cool air.

At this time, it was still bright, but the sun had completely dropped below the horizon.

The food at Mayberry's house tonight is also very refreshing.

A plate of appetizing and refreshing cold shredded radish, a plate of salted peanuts, and the braised pork Meiberry and the others brought back today.

Wei Meili cut into half a catty and kept all the remaining plum berries in the space.

Just warm and moderately warm white rice porridge that is not too hot to eat. This is a really comfortable meal for the whole family.

This white rice porridge, the rice grains have been boiled to bloom, and the rice oil is thick. Mei Qi didn't even take a bite of the vegetables, so she just made a bowl of porridge first.

It wasn't until she was eating her second bowl of porridge that Meiberry started to take it easy.

There was a slight cool breeze blowing while the family was eating, which was very pleasant.

During this period, the father and daughter talked about what happened during the day.

While Wei Meili listened, the corners of her mouth did not curl down, because Wei Meili was very happy about the wool business.

"By the way, one step before you guys came back, I saw Mei Lian coming back."

"Ah? Why is she back?"
