Chapter 152 (2/2)
Mei Xiaolei ran out happily
At this time, it was very late. Mei Xiaoran calculated that her mother would soon come back, so she quickly fried the dishes.
As soon as the dish was fried, the knock on the door rang. Mei Xiaoran opened the door happily. It was not her mother, but a man who looked strange. ”Who are you?”
”Is Mei Zhonghua at home?”
Mei Xiaoran understood that she was looking for her father. ”My father is not at home.”
”Then he will come back at night. No, I have something to do with him.”
Because she was not familiar with her, Mei Xiaoran did not dare to answer and hesitated for a moment.
At this time, she heard her mother fighting with her neighbor Wang Fenglian, ”I'm back.”
Hearing Li Mingyun's voice, the middle-aged man quickly called out, ”sister-in-law, are you back?”
Li Mingyun was stunned for a moment, but it was too dark outside. She didn't see the man's face clearly. She had to say, ”you come here. It's cold outside. Let's go to the house first.”
After Li Mingyun pushed his car into the courtyard and entered the house, he realized who the man was. It turned out that this man was a brother of Mei Zhonghua's family. Judging from his appearance, he was afraid that he wanted to borrow money.
”Sister in law, when will my little brother come back?”
”He'll have to wait a little longer. Come on, drink some water first.”
Li Mingyun took the enamel teapot and said, ”where did you come from? How did it come from? ”
”I came from toad ditch.”
Only when Mei Xiaoran hears this can he roughly judge who this man is.
Mei Zhonghua's father had four brothers. His uncle moved to toa ditch from meijiazhuang at that time. Therefore, the family of Mei Zhonghua, whose family name is Mei, is not only their own family, but also closely related. They are Mei Zhonghua's cousins. But for Mei Xiaoran, after all, because she saw too little and separated so many years, her impression was very vague.”Xiao Qi, what do you want your brother for?”
Mei Xiaoqi put the teapot out. ”Sister-in-law, I heard that my brother-in-law has set up an engineering team to help people build houses everywhere and make money. I want to mix with him.”
Li Mingyun did not speak.
Now there are six or seven people in Mei Zhonghua's small team. If we add more people, we will not make much money.
However, she could not say this. If she said it, she would offend others? After all, this is Mei Zhonghua's cousin, or it is better for Mei Zhonghua to come forward in person.
”Xiao Qi, the sister-in-law, can't be your brother's home. Let him decide for himself. Anyway, he will be back soon. Let's eat first and wait for him while we eat.”
”How sorry sister-in-law is.”
Mei Xiaoqi was embarrassed, but when he saw the steamed buns coming up, he didn't care about his reserve Although the large-scale contract system has been implemented this year, all the farmers can get the land and eat the big white steamed buns. But after all, wheat is fine grain. In the first year, we did not plant much. In fact, there was not much left in hand when we handed in some public grain. Basically, farmers dare not eat and drink like this.
”Eat quickly. It's lunch time. Sit down and eat a little bit.”
In addition to eating white flour, the Mei family also fried a cabbage tofu in the evening In the eyes of later generations, it will certainly feel that there is no taste of water, but in that era when people just had enough to eat, it was already a good meal.
Mei Xiaoqi ate two steamed buns in one breath and was embarrassed to eat again. Li Mingyun was asking him when he heard a bicycle ring outside the door Li Mingyun heard it and said, ”Xiao Qi, your brother is back.”
