"I didn't say that I didn't believe you, but I just thought it was a bit strange. Why would you encounter such a good thing?"
Mei Zhonghua explained the cause of the matter. There is a village near Meijiazhuang called Zuojiazhuang, and there is a person from Mei Zhonghua who is born in that village. He was born as a soldier. He just returned from the army and wanted to renovate his house. In the past few days, Mei Zhonghua was going home to help farming and harvesting wheat. So I met this Fa Xiaoxiao. After talking about each other's recent situation, Mei Zhonghua said that he is now helping others build houses. As a result, when he heard this, he handed over the renovation of the house to Mei Zhonghua.
"What's the situation with your small family? I remember Zuojiazhuang is not far away from your Meijiazhuang."
"These two Zhuangzi were already three miles away. I really don't know the situation of my young family, but he has been a soldier for many years, and his family should not be thin. I am not the only ones in this picture. I am the young man. The house is on the edge of the village, facing the main road. If his house is renovated well, the people from ten miles and eight villages will pass in front of him, and everyone will ask if they see it? If anyone comes along, I’m doing the job. , Doesn’t that mean it’s free to advertise?"
"Dad, I have to praise you, you are very thoughtful. If that's the case, even if you don't make money, you have to help you renovate your house. This will also serve as a publicity for you."
"Ran Ran is right, I think so too."
Having said that, Mei Zhonghua took another look at his wife and knocked her on the side drum. "Ming Yun, I can put the ugly words first. I guess I won't make much money this time, but I will definitely do this for this house. I want to help. No matter what your mood is, I will definitely do this job anyway."
Li Mingyun glared at him angrily, "You didn't discuss it with me. Even if I object to it, it won't work, so what are you telling me?"
"Oh, you are not my daughter-in-law, of course I have to tell you in advance."
Li Mingyun pursed his lips and smiled, "Okay, let's eat first, let's talk about anything after dinner."
After eating, Mei Zhonghua told his daughter-in-law about all his plans.
Li Mingyun only said one sentence, "Anyway, if you want to work, take the city with you.
He must be given great work, and I have no other opinion. "
"Okay, I see."
A few days later, Mei Zhonghua helped plant sweet potatoes on the land at home, Zhou Jincheng also discussed with Li Mingqin, planted corn in his own field, and the wheat vacation was coming to an end.
During the ten days of vacation, Mei Xiaoran didn’t relax and study. She had to spare time every day to recite her English, review her homework... When it comes to studying, she, an old aunt, is really ashamed, if she hadn’t had the foundation. , I really can't keep up with her brother in study.
After school starts, the children hand in the ears of wheat they picked to the school.
After Mei Xiaoran handed in his share, she went home with Lu Xia and did not officially start the class until tomorrow. The teacher was busy harvesting wheat ears and arranged for the students to go home to preview the new courses.
On the way back, I met Ouyang by chance.
"Ran Ran, how many wheat ears did you hand over today? Did you pick enough? If not, I will give you a little bit."
Mei Xiaoran knew what channel Ouyang Xun used to get the wheat ears, but she picked up enough by herself, "Brother Ouyang, thank you for worrying, I have paid enough."
After a wheat break, the students got tanned a lot, even Mei Xiaoran was a few degrees darker than before, but Ouyang Xun looked almost the same as usual. Even Lu Xia couldn't help saying, "Brother Ouyang, are you afraid that you haven't been out this holiday? We are all tanned, and you seem to have not changed much."
"Of course I've been out, how about making wheat ears? If you don't believe me, ask Mei Xiaoran?"
"I don't believe it." Lu Xia covered her mouth and smiled.
"Lu Xia, this is true. I can testify. I prove that Brother Ouyang came up with a way to exchange popsicles for wheat ears in order not to be tanned. He only used two boxes of popsicles in exchange for a large cart of wheat ears. ."
Lu Xia's eyes widened in surprise, and she said enviously, "Brother Ouyang, you are really rich. You can think of two boxes of popsicles for wheat ears."
"Lu Xia, you didn't calculate the account like this. How much does it cost to give a box of popsicles? The value of the popsicles is far more than the value of a cart of wheat ears that are made into wheat.
Facing Xueba’s statistics, Lu Xia was really stunned. She really didn’t expect to be able to do it like this. If it were to be counted,
Ouyang Xun made a fortune!
"Brother Ouyang, you are really good."
At this time, the three of them had reached the end of the Dongguan Bridge. When Mei Xiaoran walked on the bridge, she saw a woman walking into her courtyard. From the physical appearance, she looked a bit like the fourth aunt Li Mingye.
She hurriedly ran back and opened the door to see, isn't it Li Mingyue who is standing in the yard!
"Aunt Si, you are willing to come back. Where have you been in the past two months? My mother and I went to chase you that day, but you have already left."
Li Mingyue used to have a dark complexion, but now he looks black and thin, and the flesh on both cheeks is shrunk.
"Ran Ran, hurry up and get me some food, I'm almost starving to death."
Mei Xiaoran originally had something to ask, but when she saw Siyi doing this, she was afraid of delaying the cooking. It would take a while for the stove to open and the fire to rise, so she went out and bought the steamed buns.
Li Mingye seemed to be very hungry, and ate three or four buns in one go. It looked like he hadn't eaten many meals.
At this time, the coal fire was on. Mei Xiaoran ran to the kitchen to beat a few poached eggs, put brown sugar on it, and served it to Li Mingye.
Li Mingye, like a cloud in the wind, ate the poached egg clean, not even the soup left, and then put down his chopsticks contentedly.
"Auntie Si, should you tell me where you went now?"
"Don't mention it, I'll talk to her when I see your mother back."
Mei Xiaoran knew that in the previous life, the fourth aunt went out to get the food stamps, but lost a lot of money. It seems that the fate of the fourth aunt has not changed, and the result is already doomed.
After Li Mingye had eaten enough, he slowed down a little bit, and his face looked much better, "Ran Ran, have you seen your uncle recently?"
"I haven't seen it? A few days ago, my fourth uncle went to Beiguan to help my grandfather and grandmother cut wheat."
Li Mingye's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Your fourth uncle really went to help?"
Mei Xiaoran wanted to say that she called the fourth uncle, but seeing that the fourth aunt was so happy, she didn't say why.
"Your fourth uncle will do. Knowing that I am not at home, I can still go to help your grandmother cut the wheat. It seems that I underestimated him before."
Mei Xiaoran had to say something fair for Cheng Bin, "My fourth uncle, besides not growing up, he takes care of people and things, but there is nothing to say."
