It was noon in the morning.

The primary school students sat in groups of three or three, but they all looked at Gui Chongyang side. Mei Chen, the leader of the primary school students, hesitated for a moment and walked over: "Brother, are you okay?"

Among the few primary school students surnamed Mei, Mei Chen and Mei Xiaoba are the same great-grandfather, and are cousins ​​with the closest bloodline.

Although Mei Chen felt that this cousin was stupid and had no clever mind, he was a member of the Mei family. He had to ask the last question, and the Gui family thought that the Mei family was no longer there.

Mei Xiaoba nodded and said, "It's pretty good."

I eat well, wear well, and clean the house, unlike the house that I only place myself in the edge of the warehouse.

Mei Xiaoba did not talk about these benefits in detail, but the clothes on his body and the food box in front of him all mean that his life in Gui's family was much better than before.

Mei Chen was nine years old and entered the village school for two years. He knew etiquette, honor and disgrace, but he felt that his face was burning. The starling brother was obviously from the Mei family's blood, but no one in the Mei family raised him, so he could only let the Gui family raise him. What's this?

Mei Chen left embarrassedly, Mei Xu was still confused and asked Gui Chongyang and Yang Wu: "What is he going to do?"

Gui Chongyang smiled but didn't answer. Yang Wu took a big bite of rice and said, "What else can I do? I'm worried that you can't eat enough and don't wear warm clothes. I look more arrogant on weekdays, but I feel warm and warm, much better than your two cousins."

Mei Xiaoba’s two cousins ​​are also in the village school, and are in the big boy class next door.

Logically speaking, Mei Xiaoba, the cousin of two village schools, entered the village school. As the cousin of the "old man" of two village schools, he showed up to take care of him, but he did not show up at all, whether it was before or after adoption.

Mei Xiaoba was a little sad. When his grandfather took him back yesterday, he wanted to keep him there, but before he could mention it, the old man gave up his face, and the aunt also said that the family was difficult, and the two cousins ​​saw him, but they did not see him.

"Mei Chen is good at studying. If you stick to it, you can't say you can read it." Gui Chongyang said, disagreeing with Yang Wu's words.

When Mei Xiaoba heard this, she said happily: "Is that true? The clan members also said that Xiaojiu can study, and she may be the second fourth brother in the future."

Xiaojiu is Mei Chen's big ranking, and the "Fourth Brother" is Mei Sheng, the glorious "Little Three Yuan" of the Mei family.

Yang Wu looked at Mei Xiaoba enviously and said, "You Mei family is really good at studying. The old man in the village said that you have taken all the spiritual energy in our village."

The Mei family produced two children, two earliest children in the village. The Mei family also produced two scholars, two only two scholars in the village.

No wonder the villagers see the Mei family like this, and the Mei family also claims to be a scholarly family.

Gui Chongyang couldn't help but feel strange. It's okay for the Song family to pass on medical skills and do not follow the path of imperial examinations. But another decent Lin family in Mujia Village has never heard of their children studying?

The Lin family is the second only to the Du family, and there is no shortage of money for studying; there are also tribe members who are officials in the capital, which is the time to take over their children.

While the gossip, the three teenagers used lunch. Just as they packed the food box here, someone shouted at the door: "Mei Xu, someone is looking for it!"

Mei Xiaoba hadn't reacted at first, and he waited until Gui Chongyang got up, and then he realized that he was looking for him, so he went out with Gui Chongyang.

The visitor was outside the gate of the ancestral hall. Gui Chongyang squinted his eyes and had a bad premonition in his heart.

Sure enough, when Gui Chongyang and the other two walked to the door, several elementary school students were already standing at the door watching the fun.

Outside the gate, a young woman holding a child stood.

The woman was wearing a used-only jacket, with a pale face, and the child holding her hands was wearing patched old clothes. The mother and son looked a little shabby.

Gui Chongyang picked on the corner of his mouth, but Mei Xiaoba was confused and slow.

The woman held a veil in her hand and stared at Mei Xiaoba and was about to cry. However, the child held in the woman's hand was a little clever. When she saw Mei Xiaoba, she immediately let go of the woman's man and rushed over: "Brother, brother!"

Mei Xiaoba held the child and looked at the woman. Her mouth moved, her face flushed. He wanted to call him "mother", but when he said that he was no longer a child from his original family, but became the sixth aunt's family. In the future, he would call his parents "uncle and aunt", but he really couldn't say it.

"Brother, brother, where have you been? Why don't you go home?" The child was only five or six years old. He hugged Mei Xiaoba's waist and asked Lian Sheng.

The woman's eyes turned red when she heard this, she waved to the child, and said, "Don't be naughty, don't call her elder brother in the future, you should change her words to "Brother".

The child shook his head quickly and said, "Big brother is someone else's 'Big brother', my 'Big brother'!"

Mei Xiaoba's eyes were red and she held the child unwilling to let go.

Needless to say, the mother and son in front of him are neither other people, but Mei Xiaoba's stepmother Qiu and half-brother. This younger brother is four years younger than Mei Xiaoba. Although Qiu doesn't want the two brothers to get close to each other, the younger one has always been close to his brother, and Mei Xiaoba really loves this younger brother.

What is this? Since I am reluctant to give up, I have given it to others as his heir?

The primary school students who watched the fun were all confused. Yang Wu was older and went to see Gui Chongyang's expression, worried that he would be unhappy.

Gui Chongyang was really unhappy. Qiu was a fool who was someone else. He didn't want to raise Mei Xiaoba, but he still had to hold the thread in his hand. What did he want to do? He just used family blood as a rope and asked for whatever he wanted.

Mei Xiaoba is an ordinary ten-year-old boy, how could he stand this? He choked up and said, "Mom... Aunt... You don't want me anymore? I'll be obedient in the future, and I can't come and study..."

Others felt sad when they heard this. The child didn't know whether he had given instructions in advance or had a good relationship with his brother, so he immediately started crying, saying, "Brother, I want my brother..."

After all, the village school is a place for studying. Such noisy immediately attracted more students to come out to visit, but there was no movement in the Master's room. It was obvious that Mei Tongsheng was not there. Otherwise, with Mei Tongsheng's sour character, Qiu Shi, who disturbed the village school, would have to be scolded tortured.

Since Mei Tongsheng was not here, Qiu Shi did not take the onlookers' furry children seriously and said casually: "What's the way for mom? Who makes our family worse than others' promising? They lack sons, so they will let them choose?"

The scars on Mei Xiaoba's body were still there, and it was ridiculous that Qiu said this. Even Mei Xiaoba, who had always been honest, could only smile bitterly and let go of the child's hand.

Qiushi couldn't see anything wrong with Mei Xiaoba. She immediately didn't mention it, but said, "Don't blame your father. He didn't fall asleep all night last night. He felt uncomfortable. You are his own son, and he wouldn't really give up you if he is a person who can make money. Now it's just a difference in fame. Can the relationship between his family be broken? Now you are following your sixth aunt, dress better than home, eat better than home, and study. Don't blame your father, it's not that he doesn't love you." At the end of the story, he was already choked.

Instead, they avoided the important things and wiped away her provocation and Mei Qingmu's anger. It seemed that they had to send him off for Mei Xiaoba, and they had a "loving father and kind mother" heart.

Gui Chongyang heard this and couldn't help but sneer: "Aunt Mei family, what you said is too easy. You spend money on raising children, but my aunt doesn't spend money on raising children? Your family has land, Uncle Qingmu has skills, and the money earned is not enough to support his two sons. My aunt can only rely on needlework, but she has to support her cousin and me. Now Xiao Ba is added, and her eyes are blind. According to my aunt's words, my aunt should give us all away."

Qiushi went to Gui's parents' room to have a hot pot wine, and he knew Gui Chongyang. He hurriedly said, "Look at what Mr. Chongyang said, how can we compare with the Gui family? The Gui family can afford to build a pine house and eat white flour and steamed buns. We can't eat anything from our small family. I know that you will definitely not be happy if Xiaoba went to your house, but we have no way to do it. Xiaoba is always a sensible person and can't eat too much. After a few years, Xiaoba will be a good laborer, and your cousins ​​can help each other."

This has begun to provoke the relationship between Mei Xiaoba and the Gui family again. It means that the Gui family dislikes Mei Xiaoba for being able to eat? Gui family treats Mei Xiaoba as laborer?

The primary school students who came out to watch the fun were all curious and looked at Gui Chongyang.

Gui Chongyang said quietly, "Why is there no way? As my aunt said, you are just a father, son, mother, and relatives, and how can you really ignore Xiao Ba? My aunt is worried these two days. The Gui family has only two acres of land under her name. She was ruined by wild boars two months ago. I don't know where the food is this year. The family's meals are either based on the needlework or my fifth uncle's supplement, but there is no reason to rely on people to supplement them. Since you are worried about Xiao Ba, you can help prepare a Xiao Ba ration, and there is no need to do too much. It only takes two or three stones a year, and prepare for a few years. After a few years, Xiao Ba is a good laborer, and it just can help your son. His reputation becomes a brother of the clan, but he can help each other."

Qiu was unwilling to raise Mei Xiaobayi in vain, so he deliberately came to play and resolve the relationship. He was preparing for the future, so how could he be willing to pay off the food? He immediately looked stiff and smiled and said, "Don't joke with the Chongyang brother. The Gui family is a lean camel bigger than a horse. If it pulls out a hair, it is thicker than a slave's waist. It's so hard that it can't be eaten?"

Gui Chongyang opened his eyes wide: "But the little Ba surname Mei is not the surname Gui, you are his biological parents, and they are connected by blood, so I understand Xiao Ba's difficulties."

Qiu sighed and said, "There may be some way. The autumn grain has not yet been released, and there is no more than two stones of grain left in the family. I really want to send it to the Gui family. Will the whole family drink the northwest wind?"

Gui Chongyang nodded and said, "This autumn grain has not come down, which is indeed a problem. Otherwise, you should first use the food for one month, regardless of sorghum and millet, and send two buckets of emergency response. When the autumn grain comes down next month, then make up the rest."

This time, the primary school students watching were staring at Qiu.

Everyone is not old, and they can't tell me a lot about the elders and relatives. Naturally, they feel that no matter what their status is, their parents are still parents. Mei Qingmu's family lives a moderate and superior life in the village, with a small family population, so they can also afford Mei Xiaoba's food rations.

However, in the Gui family, a widow has two children. Even with Gui Wu’s support, Mei Xiaoba’s surname is Mei but not Gui. Why is it that she can eat and drink for nothing?
