Chapter 16 Face

In any case, this civet cat has truly settled in Meiberry's house. After all, Meiberry cannot really do anything to the mythical beast given by the system to control the house.

Her mother also said that Fat Tiger is a good mouse catcher when he looks like this.

That's right, he even got his name very quickly, called Fat Tiger.

After returning home in the afternoon, Mei's dad decided to make a bed board after sorting out the things he purchased in the town in the morning. The quilt would be enough for tonight.

By the way, Mei Youqian took the vegetable seeds sent by the system from the scene where Mei Qian checked in at any time in the town to check in the heroine and their purchases. Mei Youqian planned to clean up the abandoned vegetable patch behind the house.

Meiberry took the initiative to help her father.

But I don’t know if it was due to the influence of the system, but after being accepted by their family and given a name, Comrade Fat Tiger unexpectedly became a little clingy.

No matter where Mayberry went, it would follow her, and its fluffy and furry tail would brush against Mayberry's ankles from time to time. She originally wanted to help her father, but in the end, Mayberry was reduced to sitting on the edge of the vegetable garden and petting the cat.

The cat's lust misled me!

Listening to the soothing purrs coming from Fat Tiger's mouth from time to time, Mei Qian couldn't breathe with a lump in her throat.

She finally discovered a problem.

This cat, maybe, probably, is just born with a bad face.

Regardless of whether he is being cute or not, Fat Tiger's face can always maintain a proud look of "Two-legged beast, accept the gift."

I accidentally discovered that the cute Meiberry is addicted to sucking cats and can't help herself.

Although the vegetable patch behind the house has been abandoned for decades, Mei Youqian unexpectedly picked out a lot of vegetables while weeding and cleaning it.

Fresh shepherd's purse in spring, small green vegetables that are almost mixed with weeds, and fat and tender ant vegetables. These are originally meant to be dug directly from the ground. No, after Mei Youqian recognized them, they called them plum berries.

Go get a basket and pack the picked vegetables for Wei Meili, who is already busy in the kitchen.

"Where did your dad get all these vegetables?"

The first thing Wei Meili did when she came back was to blanch the pork ribs. She was currently cooking pork rib soup in a big pot. She was about to go out to see what Mei Pei and his daughter were busy with, but she saw Mei Pei coming back with a basket of vegetables.

.

Looking at the quality, I always feel like it was pulled from some lazy guy's vegetable garden.

It’s rare for vegetables to grow like this, or maybe——

"Your father took you to where your milk is again?"

Mayberry: "..."

I've only been here for two days, and I don't know what her father did to give her mother the image of "just go and fuck her breasts if you have nothing to do".

"No, my father said he would clean up the vegetable patch in the back in the afternoon. Although it was deserted, he still ordered some vegetables."

"Oh, by the way, what are the vegetable seeds provided by the system?"

When I thought about how hard it was to check in, only to be given a few vegetable seeds, Wei Meili felt that it was not worth it.

It’s better to give money directly~

"Raids, beans, cucumbers, winter melons and eggplants. The system says these seeds will grow 25% faster than ordinary seeds."

"Ah, that would be suitable for planting some."

I heard that vegetables grow faster than usual. In the current situation where there is a shortage of food and vegetables, Wei Meili thinks this reward is good.

"Beans grow very fast. In the summer, you can pickle sour beans and dry them in the sun to make dried vegetables. Winter melon is also suitable for eating in summer. It clears away heat and relieves heat. Ah, you can also make some winter melon candy and save it to be mixed with water later..."

When it comes to cooking delicious food, Wei Meimei can't stop talking. For Mei Li, who only knows how to eat since she was a child, but can't cook much, her mother is like a goddess descended from heaven!

Mei Berry suddenly felt lucky that her family had traveled through time neatly.

Otherwise, she can’t do anything by herself_(:3　∠)_

After the Mayberry family returned home victoriously from the old house, they started to prepare the land and cook, and the Meiyou family did the same thing.

Miao cut the piece of pork belly Meiyou specially bought in the morning into slices as thick as her little finger, and cooked braised pork in the pot.

Mei Sanma used tools borrowed from other families to install door locks on her courtyard gate and house.

He didn't think of it in the morning, but when he and Mei Youqian met later, he saw him buying it, so he also bought two.

Who would have known that I would encounter this when I came back? I bought this lock just in time for the occasion.

But he didn't expect that the thief was none other than his own mother. While installing the door lock, Mei Sanma couldn't help but feel sad.

Even his own daughter could see that his mother was like this, and what on earth was he expecting after acting like a fool for so many years?

"Mom, what do you think dad bought?"

Miao stir-fried the meat in the pot to remove excess fat, and collected the fat in a small bowl for later use. After that, she poured the seasonings and water into the pot and simmered it together.

At this time, she heard Mei You's voice and immediately turned around and entered the back room. She saw that her daughter was already sorting out the things she bought today.

Among them, the things Mei Sanma bought before were now completely seen by Mei You.

There were other daily necessities, as well as some whole grains, seeds, etc. Meiyou could understand, but at the bottom of the backpack there seemed to be a package of medicinal materials, a wooden comb, and a small bronze mirror that were deliberately kept.

Looking at the prices of these three, at least in this era, they are not commonly purchased items for villagers like them.

There are even two colorful headbands inside that don't quite fit Meiyou's aesthetics. They don't look like they were used by her father.

Miao, who rushed over and saw what Mei You had brought out, was also stunned for a long time.

"These..." Ms. Miao opened her mouth, not sure if it was what she thought. She looked at Mei You, who had an inexplicable expression on her face, and asked cautiously, "Erya, do you like it?"

Hearing this, Mei You lowered his eyes and said nothing, but his chest inevitably felt a little swollen...

evening,

The three members of the Mei family, who had just gotten off the oxcart and had gone to the county town today, were walking towards the village.

Along the way, the expressions of the three people were different.

The expression on Old Man Mei's face was very happy, and the expressions on the faces of his son Mei Dahu and grandson Mei An who were following him were a bit intriguing.

Mei An was less than six years old, an age when she had nothing to worry about. She went to the county with her grandfather and father and ate skewers of candied haws. Her grandfather also bought a pack of halva candies and kept them for later.

It's when your heart feels beautiful.

There was no joy in the expression on Mei Dahu's face, but the gloominess in his eyes still made Mei An, who was originally grinning, immediately lower his head and calm down when he saw it, and was led by his father to walk away obediently.

Today, Mei Dahu went to the county to visit his fourth brother with his father, and saw that the money he had earned from working with his master a few days ago was transferred to the fourth brother's hands.

What was the expression of the fourth child at that critical moment?

Hoo~

When he was working with his master a few days ago, it was not that Mei Dahu had never seen the faces of some wealthy people. Fortunately, his younger brother had not yet won the scholarship, but the expression on his face already had the face of a landlord.

Already?

Although Mei Yang's reaction only lasted a moment, Mei Dahu could see it clearly.

Not to mention his expression when he learned that only six taels of silver had been delivered.

Later, his father gave Lao Si something behind his back because Mei Dahu wrapped the thing in cloth and didn't see what it was.

But in the end, Lao Si's relaxed eyebrows and slight smile still made Mei Dahu extremely concerned.

The more he thought about it, the worse Mei Dahu's mood became.

Thinking of this, Mei Dahu pinched the one or two pieces of silver in the hidden pocket of his clothes and said nothing more.

This was given to him by his daughter Mei Lian today, and he said nothing to anyone about the fact that Mei Lian could also make money now.

People outside always say that the elder couple of the Mei family favor the eldest son and the youngest son, but in Mei Dahu's view, the one they really favor is the fourth child.

If yesterday he was still resentful about the separation of the third and second children, today seeing the face of the fourth and old Mei's unabashed partiality, Mei Dahu now understands the actions of the two families.

But understanding does not mean approval. After all, their separation means that Mei Laosi has to be more "tolerant" on his side.

The three of them, grandfather and grandson, had different thoughts. They completely didn't notice the joking looks they received when they walked into the village. They didn't know what happened during the day until they returned home...

Mei Yang was once named "Mei Xiaoyang", but later changed his name when he was studying.
