Chapter Thirty-eight
Mei Xue followed Liu Tao. Climbing a mountain is not an easy task. The road is steep and overgrown with weeds. If she misses the mark, she really doesn’t know what will happen.
Mei Xue held the branches on the side of the mountain with her right hand and the weeds with her left hand, moving up step by step. After dozens of minutes of trekking, they came to an open field. There were no crops planted in the field. The cypress trees on both sides were extremely large, some like
It lasted for decades.
"My mother said that if these cypress trees have been growing for a long time, tar will still flow from them."
"This is solid wood."
Liu Tao didn't like to study these things. Although he didn't hate Mei Sanniang, Mei Xue always talked about her mother, and he was very impatient after hearing too much.
"You are such a typical mama's girl. When we go out to play with Mei Xue, don't mention Aunt Mei."
"Look, there are a lot of March bubbles over there that are all red."
Mei Xue followed Liu Tao's gaze and saw that there were many March bubbles in the grass over there, so she quickly ran over.
"Wow, so many March bubbles."
Mei Xue was simply dazzled by the sight. This kind of food was delicious, but there was not enough of it to fill the gap between her teeth.
"Mei Xue, I wanted to take you with me a few days ago. I go up the mountain every day because I am afraid that this thing will be picked."
Mei Xue looked at Liu Tao with some embarrassment, her voice was thin and low.
"I'm sorry, Liu Tao. My mother didn't let me come out before, so I really had no choice."
"I also want to come out and play with you, but my mother is the only one who can do the work at home. If I don't help, my mother won't last long."
"Sneaking out with you today will definitely make my mother worried."
Liu Tao picked a lot of March bubbles, and he was picking them vigorously. When he heard what Mei Xue said, he looked at Mei Xue doubtfully.
"What do you mean? I don't need your apology."
"I have always regarded you as a good friend. If you have any difficulties, just tell me."
"I know your family is in difficulty, but who's family is not in difficulty? I also survived that time. I only have my sister in the family, and my sister lives in school, so I need to feed everything in the house. I am introverted and not good at talking.
, but I treat you sincerely, so you can tell me any difficulties you have."
Mei Xue suddenly choked back. She looked at the boy who was on par with her. The boy in front of her had a more difficult family situation than hers. He was usually alone.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have stirred up your concerns."
"I have always regarded you as a good friend, always."
"Liu Tao, let's not think about anything else. My mother will be back later."
Mei Xue also picked the March bubbles. She wiped them with her clothes and tasted them. The juice burst out in her mouth.
"So sweet."
Mei Xue had a comfortable expression on her face, and she picked a lot more. They didn't stop until there were no red March bubbles left in the patch.
"Liu Tao, what will you do when you grow up?"
Liu Tao said nonchalantly: "To make money, do whatever you want to make money."
"What about you?"
"Me?" Mei Xue thought for a while, but she didn't know what to do. "I want to buy a house in the city when I grow up."
Liu Tao smiled: "Buying a house? It's not as free as the countryside. I heard that people in the city are very stingy, so I won't go to the city."
"If I have a chance, I can go and see it. I want to go out and see it when I grow up." Mei Xue thought that she couldn't stay in the village all her life. Although the village was carefree, she seemed to see the future when she saw other women.
of oneself.
"Liu Tao, I have one more wish, that is, I hope my father is still alive."
Liu Tao was very confused, why did Mei Xue still think that Li Zhantang was still alive and wanted to see again when Li Zhantang had clearly abandoned them.
"Don't worry, your wish will definitely come true."
"By the way, take all these three-month bubbles back!"
"You talk about Aunt Mei every day. I think Aunt Mei is the one who lives the most unrestrained life."
"Ah sneeze."
Mei Sanniang touched her nose and shrugged.
"Who is scolding me behind my back?"
Mei Sanniang gently hammered her shoulders with her hands, her chest was pressed against her back from exhaustion.
"When will these days end?" Mei Sanniang shouted in the field. Soon her roaring voice came from the field. Mei Sanniang was holding a hoe and was about to cry without tears.
Every day she wanted to vent her feelings several times to relieve her unhappiness.
"Why don't I die? I've died a hundred times. I don't have to take care of my children or do hard labor."
"Others travel through time and bring their own halo, but she travels through time and is divorced and has two children."
"These are such hard days, I'm so damn convinced."
"God, you see that I am too rich, so you make it more difficult for me."
Mei Sanniang was shouting in the field for a while. People passing by thought that Mei Sanniang was going crazy again, probably because she was poor.
"Cough cough cough."
"Sanniang, you are working."
Uncle Li likes to walk around with ducks, as if the ducks around him are his pets.
In addition to walking the ducks, Uncle Li also has a cat next to him. This cat is extremely obedient and follows Uncle Li wherever he goes. It will run in the fields from time to time, but it will not trample the seedlings in the field to death.
"Sanniang, I heard you yelling from so far away. What are you talking about?"
Mei Sanniang looked at Old Man Li and asked doubtfully: "Uncle Li, you are the one who is sick?"
"Seeing as your cough is so severe, why don't you go to the hospital for a checkup?"
Uncle Li's smile moved and his lips trembled: "If you have that kind of money, you might as well drink a few taels of wine and enjoy yourself."
"You are coughing so badly and you are still drinking. Uncle Li, go and have a look. If this drags on for a while, you may develop lung disease."
Old Man Li shrugged helplessly, shook his head, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The old man has a hard life. If one day I die, God may have summoned me to go back and take the person away."
"Old man, my life is worthless. If I spend it on medicine, it would be better to eat a good meal and enjoy myself. It would not be in vain that I have lived for so many decades."
"Girl, am I right?"
Old Man Li's smile gradually dimmed, and he finally sighed, coughing, and walked away with a cat and a duck.
The voice of Old Man Li was still floating in the air. He raised his head and murmured: "I am born with talents that will be useful." Mei Sanniang looked at Old Man Li who was walking away, overlooking his life. In fact, he lived a normal life.
He didn't do anything, he just ate one meal after another. For people like Old Man Li, even if he died of illness in bed, no one would necessarily find out.
It is estimated that only when the smell of the corpse appears, people will notice that such a person has left.
Mei Sanniang sighed. She was full of hope for life. Now she was lying on the bed playing with her mobile phone. She might also be watching handsome guys in the gym. The gym is the easiest place to feast your eyes on.
Life is short but lovesickness is long. The world of mortals does not end in a moment of life and death. God knows what awaits me will be an encounter or a miss? How can I stand where I am and let time pass by day by day?
The more Mei Sanniang thinks about it, the more uncomfortable she becomes. Life is short and there are many shackles on her body. Where should she go?
Let time dye her hair white and waste time, she is still young, with a body of thirty or forty years old, but her actual age is only twenty years old.
"Man, I haven't even touched a man's hand."
The more Mei Sanniang thought about it, the more irritated she became. How could she be such a coward?
On the way home after packing her things, she was a little angry. She couldn't stand the weeds and wild flowers on the road. Moreover, she met Zhang Xiaoyan on the road. After leaving the man, Zhang Xiaoyan became more and more attractive. She also dressed up and talked.
That touch of red is particularly bright.
This time, Zhang Xiaoyan saw Mei Sanniang and came up to her. She looked at Mei Sanniang and scolded her: "I thought a sparrow flew up a branch and turned into a phoenix, but it turned out that even the sparrow turned into a phoenix."
No, it’s a pheasant.”
Zhang Xiaoyan became more arrogant than before, but she remembered that Mei Sanniang was here.
"I heard that some people have meat in their homes. That's good. I'm living a good life."
"Mei Sanniang, who is your next target?"
There was something in Zhang Xiaoyan's words, but Mei Sanniang didn't tolerate her and asked: "Do you have a goal?"
"Wait until you settle down before you worry about my affairs?"
At this moment, Zhang Xiaoyan noticed the mask on Mei Sanniang, and she wondered: "What's on your face? Is it shameful?"
Mei Sanniang said: "There are a lot of people catching colds recently. Just in case, why don't you also wear a mask."
Zhang Xiaoyan glanced at Mei Sanniang with disgust, "What's the use of your rag mask? It can only protect against dust. You have to know that a sneeze contains tens of thousands of germs. How can your rag be able to resist it?"
"It's terrible to be uneducated."
"I heard that your Xue'er went to school? Sure enough, it was a benefit. All the children went to school."
"Mei Sanniang, I really underestimate you."
"I know you spend a lot of time at home, but one thing you should remember is that everything you have today is something you got from others, and it was illegally obtained. You don't feel safe using it."
This other person naturally refers to Wang Ma. Although Wang Ma has nothing to do with Zhang Xiaoyan now, most of it belongs to Zhang Xiaoyan. Now Zhang Xiaoyan is just mocking her for getting something for nothing.
Mei Sanniang was quite thick-skinned, so naturally she didn't take it seriously. After all, she wanted face but couldn't have enough to eat, so why did she need face at this time?
Besides, these were all given by Wang Ma willingly. Firstly, she didn't steal them, and secondly, she didn't rob them, so it was only natural that she got them.
"Don't worry. After all, it's all your own. You'd better wear a mask! Of course, if you spit everywhere, you can't resist germs."
"It's better to be able to resist a little bit than to expose everything to the air."
"I won't reminisce with you here. Come to my house as a guest when you have time." Mei Sanniang walked around Zhang Xiaoyan, not forgetting to glance at Zhang Xiaoyan.
After returning home, Mei Sanniang saw something was wrong at a glance. There were some March bubbles in the house. Mei Sanniang knew the area around her home best, and the March bubbles near her home were not mature at all.
It should be said that such a red "March Bubble" can only appear so red if it faces the sun.
