Chapter 257 (2/2)
Mei Xiaoran was surprised and pleased. She was very clever at her fourth aunt. She was so shameless that she could do such a thing!
”Ran Ran, you just need to know about it. Don't go home and tell your mother, or your mother will be angry. In fact, I didn't lose anything. I ate an extra chicken. ”
”I see. Don't worry. I'll never talk too much.”
Mei Xiaoran talked to her fourth aunt for a while. Seeing that Xiao Cheng was sleepy, she put him in the bed and let him sleep by himself.
”Fourth aunt, you also lie down for a while, sitting for a long time is not good for your waist.”
Li MINGYE nodded, and then showed a wry smile, ”well, I'm worried now. It's still a week before I have a baby I can't wait. ”
”That's just right. When you're out of the month, we'll have a wheat holiday. When you move the moon, I can keep up with the fun.”
”You just want to join in the fun, you don't want to think about it. I have to cook for a week for your fourth aunt.”
Mei Xiaokuan comforted her, ”it's only one week. It's not like how long you have to wait. What are you worried about?”
They chatted a few more, Li MINGYE was a little sleepy, and Mei Xiaoran went home wisely.
When she went back, she found that Wang Qingchun and Zhao Ying were still there, but now they have changed places. They were just beside luojiakeng. Now they are on the slope of the moat. They are also hiding under the shelter of trees.
Ran Mei pretended not to go home.
When he got home, Mei Xiaoran turned on the stove when he saw it was not early.After a while, I heard the voice of Mei Jinping coming back, ”Ran Ran Ran, I'm back.”
Mei Jinping is the daughter of Mei Zhonghua cousin's family. She is one year older than Mei Xiaoran and has just graduated from junior high school. But Mei Jinping didn't want to go to school again, and Zhao Ying couldn't help in the store. Mei Zhonghua called xiaojinping to the store to help.
For Mei Xiaoran, there was a little sister who was about her age. She was also very welcome. Xiaojinping and she are one year behind each other. Usually, they both call her by their first name, which makes them feel closer to each other.
”Xiaojinping, what shall we have for lunch today?”
Mei took the vegetables out of the bicycle basket and said, ”let's eat noodles. It's easy.”
”You don't like rice best, or we'll have rice.”
Mei Jinping and Mei Xiaoran are cousins. But Mei Jinping's mother was a woman who had been abducted from Sichuan many years ago. Although she settled down here and gave birth to children, her living habits are not changed. They are not interested in food, but they like rice most Unfortunately, the local rice production is not large. In the past, when the planned economy was changed, there was almost no rice. It was only after the reform and opening up of the market in recent years that more rice was produced.
Mei Xiaoran said and scooped out the rice in the rice bucket. Mei Jinping saw this and volunteered to come forward, ”or I'll steam the rice. You didn't steam the rice last time.”
There was no rice cooker in this era, not to mention the later advanced cooking utensils such as electric pressure cooker. They all steamed rice in the most primitive way. Mei Xiaoran was really not good at this aspect. Last time, she didn't steam it But Mei Jinping is much better than her in this respect. The steamed rice is fragrant and glutinous, which belongs to her own talent.
”Xiaojinping, you will not go to school after graduation from junior high school. Have you ever considered what to do in the future?”
