Chapter 99: Adoptive Follow-up (Part 1) Monthly Pass)

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, four people from the Gui family's old house rose one after another.

Mei Xiaoba's eyes were swollen and she felt embarrassed. Mei Duo took a hot towel and applied it to him for a while before it was a little better.

It was obvious that she had agreed to let Mei Xiaoba think about it himself last night, but now seeing his appearance, Mei Duo couldn't bear it, but she didn't know how to solve it.

Mei Xiaoba saw Mei Duo like this and said, "Sister, I didn't miss home. I just miss my father, and I feel a little uncomfortable."

This is not a lie, it's just that there are more "points" that are "a bit uncomfortable" than I imagined.

Mei Duo smiled and said, "If you have a strong heart, just feel uncomfortable, but don't feel uncomfortable for too long."

"Well, I'll be uncomfortable for two days." Mei Xiaobazhong responded with a thigh.

Today’s breakfast was made with rice and rice mixed with rice, half a plate of pickled eggs, stir-fried shredded lentils, and cabbage mixed with shredded tofu.

Even though she had known that Gui's food was good, Mei Xiaoba was still surprised and looked at the chopped salted eggs and swallowed her saliva.

"We have dinner at home, but we don't want to eat. You and Brother Chongyang are just the time to grow up, so you are not allowed to be picky about food." Mei's hand-held bowls and chopsticks and said to Mei Xiaoba.

Mei Xiaoba took the bowls and said, "Aunt, what kind of work will I do in the future? You can't eat plain rice."

Mei did not want to raise Mei Xiaoba as a chasing master, and said, "There are some scattered work in the family, and you will take action when you see it."

"Then I'll go and fetch water in the future, don't bother Brother Chun anymore!" Mei Xiaobali said at the same time.

The heaviest job at home is to carry water. The kitchen water tank is four feet high. Before, because Mei's aunt and nephew were both girls, Gui Chun came to pick up the water in this water tank every three days. Later, when Gui Chongyang came back, he looked thin and sick, even if he wanted to carry water, Gui Chun would not allow it. Therefore, Gui Chun was still carrying the water in the old house.

Mei was considering Mei Xiaoba's proposal. It is common for children in the village to help carry water at home when they are in their teens, but they are not full of half a barrel every time.

Gui Chongyang was beside him and patted his forehead. He always felt that something had fallen from the old house was completely built, but now he realized that he was still missing a well.

"Aunt, let's dig a well. Now it's autumn, and it's even more inconvenient to eat water in winter." Gui Chongyang said.

"Dig a well?" Mei hesitated.

The money for digging wells is not small. Although it is not as big as building a house, it costs a few cents of money. There are more than 80 families in the village, and only the Du family, Lin family, Song family, Mei family and the next Li family. The wells in the Li family were dug after the Gui family had their houses. Naturally, the wells of the Mei family were dug by Mei's parents when they were buried, but Mei Tong gave birth to a family.

"Will it cost too much?" Mei frowned.

Before, the Gui family's old house reopened and spent 20 or 30 taels of silver. It was not that no one in the villagers speculated whether Gui Chongyang brought the silver back. Later, there was something to go out. The money for this house was paid by Mei, and the wood and bricks were bought by Gui Wu, so everyone's guess was settled.

However, when I asked if Mei had "remarried" before, I extinguished the news. Mei gave the land under her name to her niece and the silver to the Gui family to build a house. There was no oil and water, so naturally no one was thinking about it.

"Although I spend some money, it's a matter of time. In the future, my aunt and cousin will be cheaper to use water. In addition, our second grandfather and second grandmother, our eldest son is well taken care of by the two elders. My nephew has been thinking about how to be filial to the two elders for a while, and it's just right to dig a well. The second son is about to start repairing the house, and it's cheaper to have a well." Gui Chongyang Road.

This is more useful than food, clothing, and filial piety, and can save Guichun some effort. After all, Guichun can only rely on Guichun for the water used by his eldest son in the second house.

Mei was just unwilling to show off, not a stingy person at hand. Not compared with the wealthy daughters in other places, but only compared with the daughters who grew up in the village, Mei was rich when she was a teenager and was considered to be a spoiled person. Later, she went to the Gui family and spent more than ten years of poor life, Mei did not add to poverty and stinginess.

Gui Chongyang has been back for more than two months and has indeed been under the care of the second house. Mei thought about it and nodded and said, "Then choose one day and dig two wells!"

Mei Duo was beside him, seemingly holding a bowl for dinner, but he was paying attention to the conversation between aunts and nephews. He was happy when he heard that he had to dig a well in the end.

Gui Wu is about to move back to the town. There are only Guichun and one young man in the two houses. If you don’t dig a well, you will be Guichun’s job. It’s okay for the slack farming farming, but it’s really hard during the busy farming season.

After a decision was made, Mei Xiaoba was shocked when he listened.

Nowadays, people use water wells at the entrance of the village to drink water. How many of them have them? The Gui family not only needs to dig wells, but also have two people at a time. I wonder how many people envy them.

After breakfast, Gui Chongyang and Mei Xiaoba carried their study and took the food box to the village school.

Mei Xiaoba naturally took off her ridiculous patched clothes before. It was the clothes that Mei Duo sewed for Gui Chongyang before. She was just to prevent Gui Chongyang from magnifying her head, but it was just right for Mei Xiaoba to wear it now.

Mei Xiaoba has thick eyebrows and big eyes, which is not ugly. After picking up this way, she will immediately become decent.

When Gui Chongyang and Mei Xiaoba entered the village school, the children all looked over. Everyone was afraid of Gui Chongyang's momentum and did not dare to go to see Gui Chongyang, so they all looked at Mei Xiaoba.

Looking at Mei Xiaoba’s new clothes, new schoolbags, and decent food boxes, the primary school students felt a little envious.

What is the heir? The primary school students still have only a few understandings, only knowing that they are not their parents’ sons, but have become someone else’s sons.

Mei Xiaoba's stepmother was unwilling to instigate her husband to beat Mei Xiaoba, but also charged him money to "sell" him to other housekeepers as sons. This is the "conclusion" of the Mei Xiaoba's adoption incident in the villagers, and it is also the perception that primary school students heard from their parents' gossip.

Parents don’t want it. The primary school students originally wanted to joke with Mei Xiaoba. When they saw that he was doing well, they seemed to be better than before, so they couldn’t say sarcastic words.

Mei Xiaoba was originally a little uncomfortable, especially when she saw several brothers and cousins, but when she looked at Gui Chongyang sitting in the middle and Yang Wu sitting on the other side of Chongyang, she immediately felt at ease.

When Master Mei came over and saw Mei Xiaoba's outfit, he nodded with satisfaction. This was the dress of the Mei family's children and did not embarrass him. Then he thought that the clothes were all paid for by Mei's, and he couldn't say that he was "blacking for" the past sixteen taels. He felt the pain and swayed his sleeves and left.

Mei Xiaoba has been to the private school these days, and every time she saw Mei Tongsheng giving up all kinds of faces and throwing tantrums. From the initial panic, to the time she has been calm and composed by Gui Chongyang. However, he couldn't help but mutter to himself that this "Grandpa Shan" has a dark face all day long and does not look like she smiles. Maybe the Master said this.

But Mei Tong was born and returned to the Master's room, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt more and more frustrated.

Mei Tongsheng did win back some reputation in front of his clan members when choosing an heir for his nephew, but as he sent Mei Xiaoba to the Gui family's old house for the Mei family to raise, the clan members couldn't help but say something again.

Although Mei Tong was born with shamelessness, no matter how others say it, they still feel that they are losing.

He gave Mei Xiaoba's biological father Mei Qingmu four taels and three cents of silver. He originally planned to "get the wool from the sheep" and took the opportunity to make more money from the Mei family. He didn't expect that any clan member who owed him secretly told Mei family. In the end, Mei family only gave him five taels of silver. After all, it was seven cents more. Although Mei Tongsheng felt sorry for him, he still felt that he had made a profit, but now he felt that he had lost.

Mei already has money to buy new clothes and schoolbags for Mei Xiaoba. She still has money on hand. Instead of being cheaper, she is not just a good way to be a filial pity to her uncle.

After being threatened by Gui Chongyang, Mei Tongsheng was a little afraid of Mei's aunt and nephew, but now he was open-minded. There is no evidence. Could it be that Mei's aunt and nephew really dare to sue? You must know that as long as you get involved in a lawsuit, it will not only be the reputation of Mei Tongsheng's house, but also the entire Mei clan will be implicated. If Mei's like that, it will not only be the one who offended her own family.
