Chapter 36, Pulling the Lights

Seeing him touching his head and smiling like a second fool, Grandma San was full of disgust, "Okay, go back to have a meal soon, Grandma San, thank you."

This thing used to be eaten, it was very glutinous, but it had to be cooked. (It is not the same thing as the camphor tree seed in traditional Chinese medicine, don't compare it blindly.)

Holding a basket, he closed the yard door.

Fortunately, Anshan left, otherwise she would have to keep food.

Mei Xue was eating while waiting for her grandmother to come back.

When she saw the basket in her grandma's hand, she asked inexplicably: "Grandma, what is this?" She didn't know what the black thing was.

"This is called Zhangmuzi in our local dialect. This thing is also a kind of hunger-filling food back then. I haven't eaten it for some days. Will grandma cook it for you later?" Grandma He put down the basket and returned to the table.

Looking at the sky outside, Mei Xue shook her head, "Forget it, let's cook it tomorrow." She really didn't know what it was, a small one, even if it could be eaten, it would be very troublesome.

"It's okay. I'll cook it tomorrow and add some sugar and salt. It can be made into a cake, but it's a little troublesome." Grandma He racked her brains to tell Mei Xue how to eat it.

Mei Xue nodded and smiled at her grandma, "Okay, I'll cook with her grandma tomorrow." You don't have to think about it and know it's very troublesome. It's better to help her make it together. It's not easy to use when you are old.

"Okay, I listen to Xiaoxue."

After dinner, Mei Xue brought water to her grandmother and went back to the house to take a shower, then cooked a pot. After her grandmother finished washing, she raised the water and poured it out, and then went to wash it by herself.

After taking a shower, everyone basically stopped going out and just slept at home, waiting for the dawn the next day.

Mei Xue was quiet here, but what she didn't know was how scared both families were after she asked An Wen and An Liang to take a pheasant back.

They were almost afraid to eat. Fortunately, it was dark and Aunt San didn't come, so they dared to start eating.

They can't be blamed, mainly because Grandma He has been gaining power for a long time. Of course, that's when others want to take advantage of her.

When Aunt Meilian saw that she had both rabbit and chicken, she felt that it was better than during the New Year.

During the Chinese New Year, there are only meat and fish, and even chickens are reluctant to kill one of them at home. If it is a visitor, they might even kill one.

"In the past few days, An Liang, please help me with some work at home, don't cut down trees. Mom makes the quilt that Xiaoxue wants." Before, only the clothes from San'anjian were made, but what hadn't been done with Xiaoxue's quilt that Xiaoxue wanted yet.

Of course An Liang was willing, "Well, I won't cut trees these two days." What others don't know is that even if the tree is cut, he is afraid that the fourth uncle will know what happened today.

What should I do if my fourth uncle doesn’t accept it?

However, it was dark and I didn't see Aunt Yong coming up to cause trouble. An Liang felt a little grateful.

But he didn't dare to relax too much. If he really came to cause trouble, he would also stand up and say justice.

Aunt Xilian didn’t have so many ideas at home, she just thought about what else to order for Aunt San’s house tomorrow.

She came back late today, mainly because her daughter had something to do with her, so she went to her daughter's in-laws' house.

It was dark when I came back.

The lamps at Aunt San’s house had already been gone, and she couldn’t thank her late at night.

After dinner, Aunt Xilian thought about getting something for Aunt San tomorrow.

"What are you thinking? Go to bed quickly." He Zhengxi was about to fall asleep, but the wife around him always moved around, it was already hot, but it became even hotter as soon as she moved.

"You mean you can give me something to Aunt San tomorrow. Thank you Xiaoxue?" It was a fish and a chicken.

Fish is nothing, but the chicken is really precious.

"My sister Hong is giving you some jelly? You will give it to Xiaoxue tomorrow. She is not big and she is still a child." He Zhengxi said little, but he is also a diligent and polite person.

It doesn't mean to take other people's things in vain.

I didn't go to thank you today because my aunt's house has no man at home, so it's not good if he comes to the house.

It’s better for Aunt San to be alone, but Xiaoxue is also very irritating.

"Yes, but there are not many jelly, only a dozen, and An Wen ate a few. Isn't this too little?"

Aunt Xilian felt a little owed.

"Don't treat it as an exchange, just treat it as their juniors' own relationship. Just give me some gifts and it's all right. If you want to get too many Aunt San, you don't know what kind of Aunt San is?" He Zhengxi sighed.

"Yes, okay, okay, let's not talk about this, go to bed quickly, and you'll have to get up early tomorrow."

His own men do hard work, go to bed early, and he will go to cut trees tomorrow and sell them in a few days.

The village collects once a month, mainly because the car is big, and I am afraid that the trees will not be enough to fit enough and waste fuel back and forth.

That night, everyone finally fell asleep.

The next day, Mei Xue got up early to finish the work at home. Now there are no chickens to feed, so it seems like there is something missing.

What a pity, the chicken can't be caught.

After the pig was fed, Mei Xue moved back to make breakfast. The breakfast was simple, and the two of them ate the leftovers from last night.

"Grandma, where are you going today?" Mei Xue opened her mouth and asked when she saw her grandma look down the mountain.

"If you don't go anywhere, let me see if the one who installed the lights comes." Grandma He was most worried about Xiaoxue.

Hearing grandma's words, Mei Xue chuckled and said, "Didn't you say you'll have three days later? It's no one will come now."

"Yes, forget it, let's not watch it anymore. Grandma Xiaoxue will cook camphor mugs for you. Today, Grandma will make pancakes for you at home." Grandma He thought that she was really enjoying her happiness now.

Xiaoxue did the work in the fields, and Xiaoxue also helped her do the work in the fields.

To be honest, she is really doing nothing now.

"That's it, you cook first. If you peel it, wait for me to come back. Don't use your eyes too much, it's not good." Mei Xue had to go to the vegetable field, flip through the soil, pick some vegetables back.

"Where are you going?" Grandma He was stunned and asked.

"I went to the field, and the peppers were all red. Didn't you say last time that I asked me to get some chili for you and make chili sauce?" Mei Xue replied.

"Yes, haha, grandma forgot, okay, go." Grandma He waved her hand in anger.

The vegetable field was not far from his house, and Mei Xue took a hoe and went to the vegetable field.

The dew in the morning was still very heavy, so she was wearing high boots and the mud was a little wet, just right.

A lot of chili have been sold, but now the grandmothers don’t allow them to sell them. They say that they keep them for chili sauce at home. Mei Xue has no objection, because she doesn’t need that few dollars anyway.

Yesterday she thought that if she could catch more animals and ask her grandma to count the money, she didn't expect that she would catch three pheasants in the end.

It really disappointed her.

There is not much work in the field, and grandma doesn’t grow much vegetables, so she almost sold them.

All the things left are eaten by one's own home, and you can't leave a bite for the sake of money.
