After crossing, start from the courtyard

Chapter 159 Chapter 150

"Are you bragging? Mei San's mother's stewed chicken? Are you kidding me? Where did you hear that?"

The man in coarse linen still didn't believe it, but the man opposite him said, "I must know, because I just passed by today and I just heard that Xu Erzhu was there at the time. If you don't believe me, just ask Xu Erzhu, are you going to Mei San's family to stew chicken?"

"Pull it down, I don't believe it! You don't know how many times that girl from her family has come to my house? If it weren't for my mother, who is kind-hearted and doesn't care about these things, or would she give her some food? On weekdays, I live frugally , when she comes, she will share the food for a few days, and come every few days, who can bear it?"

This girl's family is really miserable, but it's too much to come to their house every now and then.

"San Wazi, why don't you go get some chicken soup?"

"Cui Erwa, what you said makes sense! This Meishan Yang family has eaten and drank a lot of things from me, so don't let me take advantage of their family. It's not too much to eat a chicken, right?"

Fortunately, Cui Erwa reminded her, otherwise the opportunity to take advantage would have slipped away.

"Let me just say, I'll go with you. If he dares to kick you out, there's me too! Hey, who do you think is the man in Mei Sanniang's house? I think the woman next to the man is long It's pretty good, even more beautiful than when Mei Sanniang came to our village when she was a child!"

San Wazi shook his head, "How do I know, won't it be clear when I go to Mei San's mother's house?"

At this time, Sanwazi noticed that there was something wrong with Cui Erwa's eyes, raised her eyebrows, and said with a malicious expression, "You don't think you fell in love with this new girl, do you?"

"Hey, look at what you said, there are beautiful girls, can I not care? I don't like any of those ugly women in our village!"

Sanwazi doesn't believe in Cui Erwa. This Cui Erwa is a flamboyant, but a well-known scumbag in the village.

Most of the girls in the village should have talked to him, and there were quite a few girls he didn't like.

"Some time ago I saw you holding hands with Xiao Cui, so we're going to break up here?"

"I have nothing to do with her! Don't talk nonsense!"

Who is Cui Erwa? Sanwazi still doesn't know. He spent a lot of effort to chase Xiaocui before, but in the end, he dumped him after only a few days of getting along.

Why bother now, if there is no result, why bother to entangle?What's more, when Xiaocui was chasing after him vigorously, now Xiaocui is chasing after him backwards, and he doesn't pay any attention.

"My mother told me that I don't get along with her. I'm the only child in my family. It's not like you have a younger brother!"

"Let's go!" Cui Erwa urged Sanwazi, "I don't even have to drink chicken soup when it's late!"

He Yu had already set up the pot, and Xu Erzhu was busy cleaning up all the mushrooms, and Mei Xue also helped. She didn't know how to clean fungus before, but He Yu learned it simply by teaching.

Mei Xue did it smoothly, and she finished all the tidying up in a short time.

He Yu checked randomly, and everyone did a good job, "It's ok, little guy, I'll add a chicken leg to you tonight!"

"Thank you, Uncle Yu."

Since Mei Xue was born, she has only seen chickens running, but has never eaten chicken. She eagerly licked the corners of her mouth.

"Uncle Yu, I'll help you light the fire!"

The little girl was very diligent. When Xu Erzhu was chopping firewood in the yard, she helped to pick up the firewood, carried all the dry firewood to the stove, and offered to help build the fire.

"Little girl, can you make a fire?"

Mei Xue snorted silently, "Yes."

In fact, she doesn't know how to make a fire, she only knows how to stuff firewood into it after lighting it, and she can't control the heat.

"Girl, can you make a fire?"

Mei Xue was a little hypocritical, because she just wanted to help Uncle Yu light a fire, and she felt that making a fire was a very simple matter.

"Will... right..."

At this time, her voice became lifeless, and it was obvious that she was guilty.

"I... I'm sorry, Uncle Yu, did I do something wrong?"

He Yu didn't mean to blame Mei Xue, but gently demonstrated to her, "In this way, the fire won't flare up one after another."

Mei Xue felt that Uncle Yu didn't mean to blame, so she listened carefully and followed suit. Although the firewood that Uncle Yu had set up collapsed, she quickly repaired it.

The flames were burning very steadily, and He Yu praised softly, "I have made great progress, and I will leave the work of lighting the fire to you."

This is not only Mei Xue's progress in learning, but also He Yu's recognition of her.

"Xue'er, just don't let the fire go out."

He Yu simply found a wooden board as a cutting board, and then cut the washed mushrooms into two pieces.

"Uncle Yu, do you want to boil the water?"

"Yes, if you see bubbles, just call me."

It didn't take long for the water to boil, and the boiling water squeaked in the pot.

Seeing this, Mei Xue ran towards He Yu excitedly, shouting excitedly, "Uncle Yu, the water is boiling."

"Girl, go get an iron basin and wipe yourself with a towel. It rained a lot just now, so wipe it with hot water to avoid catching a cold."

"Uncle Yu, I don't have towels at home."

Every time Mei Xue spoke, she didn't have much confidence, because compared with other ordinary families, their family was far behind. Not only did they not have towels, but they didn't even have a decent place to sleep.

"Xue'er, it's okay, I brought it."

A gentle voice sounded from behind Mei Xue.

Mei Xue turned her head and saw that it was Miss Xiaoling.

"Although mine has already been used, as long as you don't dislike it, I will give you this towel. I will ask Xiao Yu to buy another towel when I come back another day."

"But, after I use it, Miss Xiaoling, what do you use?"

"It's not necessary to use a towel to wash your face! Silly girl, don't worry about me, go get water and wipe your body, and take a bath for your mother later."

Because Mei Sanniang hadn't bathed for a long time, there was already a musty smell on her body, taking advantage of boiling a large pot of hot water, He Yu asked Xiao Ling to take a good hot bath for Mei Sanniang, and then change into clean clothes.

Xu Erzhu took the clothes and bath tools from home, Xu Erzhu readily agreed, because they were for Mei Sanniang, so Xu Erzhu was sneaky when he got home, and took a pile of dried saponins.

Fortunately, his movements are relatively light, and he is very smooth when holding it, but just as he was about to leave the house, he was taken aback when he saw a familiar figure standing at the door.

With a straight face, the old lady glanced at the things in Xu Erzhu's hand, there were large and small bags, and there was even a piece of her clothes inside.

"Erzhu, what are you doing?"

Xu Erzhu trembled in shock from Erzhu's mother's serious eyes. This obvious thing was undoubtedly being caught.

"Help me wash my clothes and make them clean."

Erzhu's mother kept her face straight, as if she wanted to tear him apart.

Xu Erzhu knew that it was his mother who turned a blind eye, and he quickly responded, "I'll go wash it right away, make sure it's clean, and when it's dry, it'll be like a brand new one when it's taken back."

Xu Erzhu understood that his mother's painstaking efforts, knife mouth and bean curd heart, were all for his own good, so Xu Erzhu never blamed his mother, but felt that he had always been sorry for his mother's kindness in nurturing.

"I'm going."

Xu Erzhu trotted all the way to Mei San's mother's house, took a set of clean clothes and a small basin.

"Xiaoling, tell me what's missing."

"Okay, Brother Erzhu, I'll take Mei Sanniang to take a bath, and after washing, we can eat."

Xiao Ling was afraid that she would not be able to handle it alone, so she asked Mei Xue to help. With Mei Xue around, Mei Sanniang would be more peaceful.

Crazy woman, she can do anything.

Fortunately, Xiaoling's bathing process for Mei Sanniang went smoothly. I don't know if it's because of Mei Xue, or because women still love beauty even if they are crazy.

Before Xiaoling helped Mei Sanniang wash, Mei Sanniang subconsciously covered herself with her hands.

Xiaoling took out the gloves directly, she had never helped others take a bath in such a messy room.Mei Sanniang was the first one in history. She was going to wash Mei Sanniang's body well, but she was afraid of hurting Mei Sanniang, so she didn't dare to rub it hard.

Xiaoling took out the soap horns to help Mei Sanniang wash her hair, and rubbed the broken soap horns in her palms, and after a while, many foams appeared on her hands, Mei Sanniang felt it was novel, and kept rubbing it.

"Xue'er, help Sanniang to pour water on her back, she will catch a cold later."

"it is good."

Mei Xue nodded her head cheerfully, and then started to pour water on her mother's back gently. Since the hot water was too hot, she tried several times, pouring it little by little, for fear that her mother would be scalded.

After Xiaoling wet Mei Sanniang's whole body, she began to smear soap locust on her body. Xiaoling's strength was very light, and Mei Sanniang hadn't bathed for a long time, which made it difficult to remove layers of dirt on her body.

Xiaoling was also worried that Mei Sanniang was afraid of pain, so she didn't dare to hit too hard, so she could only do it little by little.

I don't know if it's too comfortable or what, but Mei Sanniang has already fallen asleep sitting on the small bench.

Xiaoling rubbed and flushed to wash off the dirt. She went back and forth about a dozen times, barely washing off the dirt, and Mei Sanniang's back was flushed red.

Mei Xue lightly touched her mother's fiery red back with her hand, besides a patch of red, there were also several bruises.

Seeing these bruises, Mei Xue couldn't help feeling distressed.

"Miss Xiaoling..."

Xiao Ling gave a "shh", and said in a low voice, "Your mother is asleep, I'll help her dry the water first, and you go get the clothes."

After working back and forth for an hour, Xiaoling didn't miss any of the places that should be washed. After soaking the saponins for countless times, the dirt on her body barely fell off.

Xiaoling gently wiped the residual water on Mei Sanniang's back, looking at the bruised back, one couldn't help but tremble, the hand that wiped was trembling.

"Hmmmm~"

The woman under her made an unbearable sound, and Xiao Ling was startled, thinking that she had hit harder.

She moved away quickly, and happened to meet Mei Sanniang's eyes, Mei Sanniang did not complain, but tears filled her eyes.

"Did I... hurt you?"

The voice was very low, with a little self-confidence, Xiaoling couldn't be sure if she hurt Mei Sanniang.

Mei Sanniang didn't speak, just looked at Xiaoling quietly, as if she was looking at something beautiful, her eyes didn't leave for a long time.

Similarly, Xiaoling also stared at Mei Sanniang, the two of them just looked at each other so affectionately, for a moment, Xiaoling felt that she was defeated, she looked away, and just at that moment, Meixue brought her clothes.

Taking this opportunity, Xiao Ling looked at Mei Xue and called, "Give me the clothes."

The clothes are relatively simple, without too much decoration, and Xiaoling helped Mei Sanniang put them on one by one. When Xiaoling saw Mei Sanniang for the first time, she was a little scared.

Because a crazy woman is not conscious, she doesn't know that hurting others, others will hurt, she doesn't know how to recognize things, and she develops resistance to everything.

However, since Mei Sanniang went down the mountain, it was still Xiaoling's illusion. She felt that Mei Sanniang was a little different.

Mei Sanniang is no longer resisting as she was at the beginning, but now she has become extremely obedient, as if she can hear people's words and can tell right from wrong.

Xiaoling called this a sign of improvement, indicating that Mei Sanniang's madness can be cured, it's just a matter of time.

After getting dressed, He Yu has already cooked a pot of delicious chicken and mushroom stew.

Because there were not many bowls, He Yu directly brought the pot down and placed it on a table made of several stones.

He also found a few stones on which to sit, and shared one with each of them.

"Xiaoyu, your chicken is so delicious, you can smell it even before you eat it!"

Mei Sanniang's family didn't have any other dry food, so He Yu only made this one in order not to arouse suspicion.

"Brother Erzhu, sit down, how about trying this chicken stew?"

He Yu scooped up a large bowl, as if he didn't want money.

"Too much, too much, leave it to Sanniang to eat."

"There are still more! Not enough, I will buy another chicken next time, and I will stew it and send it to you."

Xu Erzhu smirked, "I'm so sorry to say that, I'm a big man, I don't eat it, I give it to Sanniang, Sanniang eats well, and I can only eat it when I return home."

"By the way, do you drink chicken soup for such a big baby?"

He Yu shook his head, "Don't, just drink milk."

Xu Erzhu subconsciously rummaged through himself, rummaging around, and scraped together a few cents.

"I have so much on me, I don't have enough for me to make up for. Your milk also costs money, so you can't drink it for nothing."

"You... um... I'm afraid you can only pay for one sip."

Xu Erzhu was at a loss. He knew that this stuff was nutritious and expensive, but he didn't expect that he could only drink for a few cents.

"Huh? Then I...then I'll go home and collect some, and see how much I can buy."

Seeing Xu Erzhu's appearance, he directly amused He Yu, "Don't worry, I don't need money. In the future, I will have to rely on brother Erzhu to hang out in our Longfeng Village! If I have a chance to ask you for help in the future, I owe you first! We still have this milk powder , It’s still enough to go home and drink for several months! At that time, Mei Sanniang should be able to directly breastfeed the child.”

Xu Erzhu heaved a sigh of relief when he heard it, and then he wanted to go home with the bowl in hand. He Yu asked, "What's the matter? I was just joking with you! Why go out to eat, just here, how nice."

Xu Erzhu didn't intend to go out to eat chicken, but he planned to go home and serve it to his mother.

"I'll go back."

He Yu glanced at it, then took a sip of the chicken soup, and caught a glimpse of the girl who was eating with relish.

"Is it tasty?"

"Yeah!" Mei Xue nodded, the chicken in the bowl was gone in a few mouthfuls, the soup also bottomed out, and she even had the urge to lick the bottom of the bowl.

"Xue'er, help me take a look, you Uncle Erzhu, why did you go?"

Mei Xue was very puzzled, not knowing what Uncle Yu wanted to do.

Immediately afterwards He Yu said, "Help take a look, remember not to let you, Uncle Erzhu see you, when you come back, I will leave this chicken leg to you."

Mei Xue ran out happily.

Xiao Ling was still wondering why she asked Xueer to follow Xu Erzhu, so she asked He Yu, "Xiao Yu, why are you doing this?"
