Chapter 258 Xiaocheng Flies to the Full Moon (1/3)
After Mei Jinping steamed the rice, he turned around and sighed, "What do you say? I'm not the material to learn... I just thought, I will help in your store for two years before talking. Otherwise, I have to get married right away!"
In the countryside, it is normal for girls between fifteen and sixteen to marry.
Although Mei Xiaoran is a man of two generations, she still can't accept it, "Apart from these, do you have no other ideas?"
"Yes! If I have a chance, I want to take my mother back to Sichuan and help her find her mother's family."
Everyone in Meijiazhuang knew about Xiao Jinping's mother. In that era, there were indeed a lot of foreign women who got married in the local area. Some came from the mountains and the countryside, some came from fleeing famine, and the worst was Xiao Jinping’s mother who was abducted... If she met a kind family , At least there is some freedom, and will not be beaten; but when you encounter that kind of bad family, you have to work when you are beaten and angry, and you have to be watched firmly like a thief.
"Xiao Jinping, if you really think so, then you can work hard in my store and save more money, otherwise why would you take your mother to Sichuan?"
Mei Jinping thinks so too. She is still young, and she doesn't want to marry. Even if she gets married, she wants to find someone she likes, instead of finding a matchmaker to talk to each other, the couple will meet once or twice, and they will decide to get married.
"Well, I just thought, I will at least consider getting married after I'm twenty, but Ranran, you know, there are three siblings in my family, and the burden is heavier in the countryside. I also want to help my family. , At least I have to wait for my brother to be older."
Mei Jinping’s little brother is only five or six years old now, and he is almost ten years behind Mei Jinping. If this little brother grows up, it will take at least ten or eight years... Mei Xiaoran feels that the people of that era are really Simple, I always think about dedication, almost no selfishness, unlike in the future generations, everyone is exaggerated, all of whom have lost their original intentions, and only consider themselves selfishly.
"Well, Xiao Jinping, if you have such a plan, you can do it well, but I also want to advise you that it is not a bad thing for you to read more books when you have time and master more cultural knowledge."
"Ran Ran, do you think anyone likes to study like your siblings?"
Mei Xiaoran smiled helplessly. In her previous life, she didn't really like learning either, and she was not a good student.
But after a lifetime, she realized what is the most important thing! To put it simply, knowledge is everything. Without cultural knowledge, it is impossible. Otherwise, why would she study so hard in this life, she just doesn't want to waste time again.
After Mei Jinping steamed the rice, he came over to choose vegetables with Mei Xiaoran. This season the long beans will come down... But unlike the later generations that use pesticides, the beans don’t even have a bug eye. The current long beans You have to carefully pick out the place with the worm's eye, and pull off that section of the beans.
"Ran Ran, guess who I met just now when I came back?"
Mei Xiaoran was taken aback for a moment, and blurted out, "Who did you meet, how do I know? I didn't go to the street again?"
"I saw Sister Zhao Ying, she was with a young man..."
It didn't take long for Mei Jinping to come to the Zhonghua Store. Of course, he didn't know anything about Zhao Ying and Wang Qingchun. He just felt a little curious. Although she is not as familiar with Mei Xiaoran and Zhao Ying, when it comes to blood ties, they are the same distance and close. They are all cousins and relatives, and they definitely know each other.
Mei Xiaoran couldn't help asking her, "Is that young man of medium height, big ears, and fair skin?"
"How do you know?"
Mei Jinping was so surprised, she thought she was the first person to find out!
"Don't ask about this. When you see it in the future, just tell me. Don't tell anyone."
Mei Xiaoran can only talk about it. No matter how much she can talk about, she can tell Xiao Jinping that Zhao Ying is now hooking up with Wang Qingchun, and the two are talking about an unscrupulous relationship
Mei Jinping nodded seemingly...
That night, after Mei Zhonghua came back, Mei Xiaoran told her father about it, "Dad, Xiao Jinping and I have seen Uncle Chunwa and Sister Zhao Ying together, what do you think about this? Do you care or don't care? If the two of them continue, they will definitely say that your niece is not responsible, which will affect our family's reputation in the small street."
"Dad wants to control too, but you know your uncle, he can't control Zhao Ying."
Mei Zhonghua also had a headache when he mentioned this incident. It was originally a good thing, but was made nauseated by these two young people. If the two young men didn’t get awkward when he first offered to combine these two young people, then
The matter for the two of them has long since been settled. But who could have imagined that the two of them didn’t admit that they were in love, and they had a breakup. As a result, Wang Qingchun was going to be engaged, and the two of them actually got up and ran away... Let’s make it now, the Wang family didn’t want Zhao Ying to come in at all. However, Wang Qingchun became more and more sticky with Zhao Ying.
After Zhao Ying came back last time, he also personally took Zhao Ying back to Zhaozhuang to talk to his brother-in-law Zhao Yutian about this matter, but Zhao Yutian said that since she was a girl who ran to Xi'an, her heart had become wild. He is also a father. Can't control it! I don't care about my parents, so is he going to be in charge of his uncle who is not his dear? Will he take care of others
"Ran Ran, next time you want to see your Sister Zhao Ying and Uncle Chunwa together, you will let them come to see me, and I will talk about them."
Mei Xiaoran's mouth flattened, "Dad, you just said it nicely, I guess people don't want to see you."
The matter is equal to not being negotiated, and Mei Zhonghua and Mei Xiaoran, the father and daughter, are also very unhappy.
After going to school for another week, the wheat leave was taken.
The holiday is just in time for Xiaocheng to fly to the full moon.
Mei Xiaoran, who likes to join in the fun, came to Cheng's house with her brother-in-law and aunt and took Li Mingye and Xiao Cheng Feinuo confinement.
Confinement is also a local custom, that is, after giving birth to the full moon, mothers have to carry the child back to their natal house for a few days, and only after returning from the natal house can they carry the child out, so that outsiders can see the child. As for which dynasty this rule was formulated from, and why it was passed down to the present, everyone is not clear. Anyway, it is a custom passed on by word of mouth, and everyone follows the old habits.
In addition, it is also polite to move confinement, and the same cannot be less.
Basically, the child’s uncle came to pick up the nephew back to the grandmother’s house. When he came, his sister-in-law’s house prepared a few dishes, but there was no alcohol. According to the old custom, he was afraid that the child’s uncle would be drunk and could not hold his nephew, so he could only have food , No wine.
After the child’s uncle has eaten, he can leave. When leaving, he must use **** to wrap the newborn baby from head to toe so that the child’s face is not seen, and the baby is swaddled. Also inserted a peach stem to ward off evil spirits.
After the child’s uncle took the child, he couldn’t say anything. He had to take the child home in one breath. After he got home, he should let the child go, so that it was finished.
