After breakfast, Mei Xiaoran's sister and brother went to work. When school was over at noon, there was no one at home.
"Sister, where did our father and mother go? Why is there no one at home and no cooking."
Since their siblings went to junior high school, three meals a day at home are very timely. This has never happened before.
Mei Xiaoran didn't know what happened, so she went to the kitchen to cook.
At that time, most people still used wood for cooking, but in the county town, many families also started to use briquettes. Briquette is more convenient than firewood. You must turn on the stove about half an hour before cooking and wait for the coal fire to rise before you can cook. The two sisters and sisters of Mei Xiaoran have finished school at 12 o’clock, and it’s almost half past one after the cooked food is finished... One week after school starts, the school starts to implement the autumn schedule. It is no longer three o’clock in the afternoon, but two o’clock in the afternoon The class was in preparation at 1:40. This afternoon, the two siblings almost stepped on the preparatory bell to enter the school gate.
When school is over in the afternoon, there is still no one at home.
This is too strange and too abnormal.
Mei Xiaoran could only eat some steamed buns with his younger brother, otherwise it would be too delay.
Sister Mei Xiaoran didn't see her parents until she went home from school in the evening.
Li Mingyun frowned and sighed as he sat there.
Mei Zhonghua persuaded her by the side, "It's going to rain, and my mother is going to get married. You, the eldest sister, can't control this kind of thing."
"Then I can't just watch her jump into the fire pit!"
Li Mingyun seemed to have made up his mind, "Don't say that my parents don't agree to this matter, I won't agree either."
"Then it depends on Ye Zi's attitude. If she is not obedient, you can't help her."
Mei Xiaoran understood. This was referring to her fourth aunt Li Mingye. No wonder her parents were so busy today that they didn't even see any shadows. It turned out that the fourth aunt was in trouble.
Li Mingyun has six siblings, except for the youngest twins who are older than the previous elder sister... The other four sisters got married, and those who did not get married have reached the age of getting married. The only one who is not married is Li Mingye, the fourth. Listening to the tone of the parents, it seemed that they were discussing the marriage of the fourth aunt.
Mei Xiaoran was not very impressed with the memory of the Fourth Aunt in her previous life, but there was an event that made her remember something fresh, that was, when the Fourth Aunt was engaged in a relationship, the family members were unanimously opposed to it, and she drank the pesticide in a fit of anger.
gosh!
Shouldn't it be this
Mei Xiaoran quickly glanced at the calendar, September 10
On the second day, the Mid-Autumn Festival is not a few days away. It seems that Siyi drank pesticides on the Mid-Autumn Festival back then. At that time, a large family didn’t even spend the Mid-Autumn Festival for her...
"Mom, are you talking about my fourth aunt?"
Li Mingyun glared at the girl, "Let's inquire about children's affairs."
"I'm not asking, you told my dad." Mei Xiaoran thought for a while to remind her mother, "Mom, this is not the Mid-Autumn Festival. You have to go back and see my grandmother."
"No, I have to buy some mooncakes when I'm a girl during the Mid-Autumn Festival and go back to my natal family."
If it weren’t for these two students at home and cooking on time, she would really like to go back to her family’s house for two days... Ye Zi’s situation doesn’t look right, and her parents are getting older, I’m afraid she could not calm this little girl. Can you not worry about it
"Mingyun, you can just buy some gifts and go back to your mother's house. I'm busy these two days."
Mei Zhonghua spoke, he was really busy. After the watermelon business failed, he went back to his old business.
Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching in August, and more people are buying fine grains, all thinking about changing some flour to make moon cakes and other foods. Moon cakes are also rare in this era, and the supply is limited. Not everyone can afford to eat them, and they have to be bought with tickets. Many people make mooncakes by themselves, so you have to get flour... Although everyone has a ration of food, but the people who lack oil and water in their stomachs, the monthly ration is not enough to eat, and they want to improve during the holidays. In life, you have to secretly buy fine grains, go to the grain bureau to go to the back door if it is relevant, and buy high-priced grains from the black market if it doesn't matter.
"Well, you are busy with you. I will buy something for myself and go back to my mother's house, that is... Can you change me some moon cake tickets? It is difficult to get moon cakes without tickets."
"I'll try it." Mei Zhonghua said. It's not easy to change mooncake tickets these days, and the price is not a problem.
It seems that it's settled, but Mei Xiaoran slept very unsteadily that night, and kept thinking about Sister Si. She just forgot which year it happened. Anyway, it was in the past two years, but she can't remember exactly which year it was.
Sleep until five o'clock in a daze, and start studying.
After making breakfast, Mei Zhonghua drank two bowls of porridge and hurried away on the cart, while Li Mingyun began to ponder Ye Zi's marriage.
The subject of Ye Zi’s name is Cheng Bin, and his home is also in Dongguan.
He is a talented person, but it is a pity that he is idle. Not only doesn't have a serious job, but also likes to go out to fight and cause troubles. I don't know why I fell in love with Ye Zi, and even got an object with Ye Zi. The family members of course objected when they learned about it. No one wanted Ye Zi to find such an unreliable person, but Ye Zi just didn’t listen. It was really annoying to threaten his parents if he stayed at home for these two days and had not eaten for a few days. Up!
No, she has to go home and see again.
After making up his mind, Li Mingyun decided to detour from the small road by the city wall to Huayuan Street to return to her family's home. This is the closest way to walk back to her family's home. When walking along the city wall to Zhaojiakeng, I unexpectedly ran into Cheng Bin.
From the outside, Cheng Bin was fair and thin, and dressed fashionable. He was a western-style young man in the city. No wonder Ye Zi liked it.
"Sister, where are you going?"
Li Mingyun found an excuse in an angry manner, "I went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things."
The Supply and Marketing Cooperative is on Zhongshan Street, just across the small road through the city wall.
Cheng Bin smiled and asked, "Is the eldest sister going to buy moon cakes?"
Li Mingyun was worried about this matter, and did not say a word.
Cheng Bin took out a few moon cake tickets from his pocket and handed them over, "Sister, I have a few moon cake tickets here. You can use them if you need them."
This is... Waiting for her here deliberately, right
"Don't don't, I have."
Li Mingyun became more angry as he thought about it, and none of the family agreed with Ye Zi and Cheng Bin. Yesterday she went back to her natal home, but did Ye Zi's ideological work for a day, but she didn't seem to get it through. Now that I have seen Cheng Bin, I can tell him clearly.
"Cheng Bin, our family disagrees with you and Ye Zi's relationship."
Cheng Bin was taken aback, "Sister, Ye Zi and I are sincere."
"Cheng Bin, listen to me to finish. The situation of my family is different from that of yours. Your family has many brothers, my family is sisters and the burden is heavy. Your family is a vegetable team, and my family is a rural one. You and Ye Zibo are both If you don’t have a formal job, it’s really inappropriate for you to be together. Even if Ye Zi married you, why would you feed her?"
Cheng Bin replied seriously, "Eldest sister, if Ye Zi really marries me, I promise to be kind to her, and I will definitely earn money to support her."
"Marriage is not a child's play, you promise me that these are useless, you have to take practical action. If you can't solve these problems, don't look for leaves anymore, I will be the master today, you two should break."
