"Well, there's no meat for lunch today?"

Meiberry looked at the fried mung bean sprouts with leeks, steamed eggplant with garlic, and soybean sprouts and egg soup on the table, and she felt a little unmotivated.

what to do?

During the difficult years, her mother still had her appetite and she thought about eating meat every day. It was really sinful!

"We have just finished eating the meat at home. If you want to eat meat, you and your dad can go to the town to buy it tomorrow. Then buy more and store it in your space."

"I also want to eat fish."

"If you want to eat fish, it's easier. For that fish pond outside the village, you and your dad remember to buy a fish basket and a fishing net.

I saw last time that the fish Mei You caught were pretty big, weren't they? Although we can't fork it, we can still catch some if we cast the net~"

Wei Meili thought of the fish in the river outside the village. She was speechless when she heard Miao say that people here didn't eat fish very much and disliked the fishy smell.

Although onions, ginger and garlic are basically available here, many people still can’t handle the fishy smell that comes with the fish.

Forget it, it’s just cheaper for them.

After eating and drinking enough at noon, Wei Meili didn't feel sleepy today. She took advantage of the couple's nap to clean up the honeysuckle that they had picked up in the morning, put it in a dustpan, covered it with a clean gauze, and took it out to dry in the sun.

.

Afterwards, she took the dried kudzu back, cut it into strips and packed it up. When Meiberry woke up in the afternoon, Wei Meili took Meiberry to visit.

Destination, Widow Chen’s house.

"Ah, sister-in-law Erniu, are you here?"

Widow Chen was weaving at home when she saw Mei Mei and Wei Meimei coming over.

"I was planning to go to your house tomorrow, but I haven't thanked you properly for last time..."

"Hey, what I said happened is in the same village, and everyone I meet is a helper, so I need to thank you so seriously!"

Mei Bei saw her mother and Widow Chen holding hands and chatting very cordially in the yard as soon as they met. She was attracted by the ancient loom at first sight.

While her mother and Widow Chen were having a lively chat, Mei Mei deliberately approached the window of the house where the loom was placed.

Observing from the small window, Meiberry didn't even notice when the lock that was handing her water came to her side.

"Yeah, you scared me to death."

Startled by the bowl that suddenly appeared in front of her, Mei Berry looked over and saw the lock-headed boy staring at her with a stinky face, as if she owed him money.

"Drink water."

Suo Tou moved the bowl closer to Mayberry.

Mei Bei pouted and took the bowl without drinking. Suo Tou didn't care when he saw her like this, so he turned around and left. However, Mei Bei told her to stop.

"You this morning..."

"Shh!"

Suo Tou nervously looked back in the direction of his mother, then turned his head and glared at Mei Berry, telling her to shut up.

Mayberry raised her eyebrows at his nervous appearance, as if she understood something.

Meiberry opened her mouth again proudly. Although she didn't make a sound, the silent threat could be seen clearly.

They just stood stubbornly not far from Mei Berry and stared at her, which really amused Mei Berry.

"What are you doing? You didn't reflect on yourself when someone saw you sneaking around, and why did you blame others for seeing you?"

Meiberry couldn't bear to see such an awkward guy. It was obvious that this guy had run up the mountain carrying his family on his back in the morning.

As a result, he bumped into it. How dare he directly blame himself for seeing it?

"Don't talk!" Suo Tou lowered his voice deliberately after hearing what Mei Berry Barabala said directly. He glanced sideways at his own mother's side, and finally softened his tone and whispered, "Come out and talk."

After grasping the little secret of the lock, Mei Bei simply said: "I'm not going. If you have anything to say, just say it here. Keep your voice down so they won't hear."

Mei Bei looked at her mother and Widow Chen chatting very happily. From the laughter coming from time to time, Mei Bei was sure that they would still be chatting for a while.

"You are this person..."

Suo Tou was so angry at Mei Berry that he gritted his teeth, but looking at her indifferent appearance, he didn't dare to really make her anxious.

He had no choice but to accommodate her and took two steps forward.

"I heard that you caught your donkey in the mountains?"

"Who did you listen to?"

A ray of light flashed from Mayberry's eyes.

"You, you care about me?"

Listening to Suo Tou's words, Mei Bei now dared to confirm that someone was actually stirring up trouble in front of Suo Tou.

If you heard it from chatting with the aunts in the village, his answer would not be like this.

Even the young man's eyes flashed with annoyance, as if he was also worried about arousing her suspicion and dragging someone into the water.

Seeing Suo Tou's resistance, Mei Mei didn't ask further. Instead, she raised her head to look at Suo Tou, looked up and down, and said in surprise: "When you go up the mountain... you don't want to catch one too, do you?"

As if something had poked into his mind, he was nervous when being asked by Mei Berry just now, but now he turned into irritation and embarrassment.

"What? You can catch me, but I can't?"

The angry Suo Tou waved his fist, showing his teeth and claws like her fat tiger.

"Pfft~ I didn't say no, but you're only ten years old, right?"

Mayberry did not immediately expose the boy's ridiculous idea.

"why are you laughing?"

"What are you laughing at? You, at such a young age, went up the mountain alone without considering the consequences? You are the only 'backbone' of your family."

Meiberry's eyes fell on the smiling Widow Chen not far away, and her mood suddenly sank.

In this era, as the only male in the family, the importance of locks is self-evident.

For both Widow Chen and Grandma Liu, the lock is their only spiritual support.

And the man who told Suo Tou about going up the mountain to catch the "donkey" was really vicious.

What if something happens?

"I..." He wanted to refute what Mei Berry said, but what Mei Berry said was right, his relatives were his Achilles' heel.

And thinking about it carefully, he was indeed impulsive.

"I heard that a hunter hunted a big insect in the mountains behind us some time ago. It is said that it is an old one. Maybe there is a young one in the mountains."

Suo Tou's face paled when he heard Mei Bei's words, but he remained stubborn: "Don't scare me, you can go up the mountain, so can I!"

"After all, we are together. My sister, didn't you see that she was carrying two big bundles of firewood? How strong is that?

If something happens...we can run away.

Moreover, my father had been to the area we went up to the mountain before and confirmed that it was safe.

On the other hand, you are wandering around in the mountains like a headless fly. The mountains behind are so big... You, at least think about your breasts."

Grandma Liu's obsession with donkeys that day was probably something Suo Tou saw in her eyes and remembered in her heart, so she took the risk and went up the mountain alone.

He saw Suo Tou, who was standing there silently as he said.

The young man stood there with a tense body, anger, annoyance, frustration and other negative emotions constantly flashing across his face. Mayberry looked at it with the bowl in hand, and finally sighed weakly.

"Oh, donkeys and stuff. You work hard to grow up and help your mother work. In the future, when you save money, you can just buy a donkey. Do you have to do such a desperate thing?"

"It's hard to buy a donkey these days..."

"That's easier to buy than cattle, isn't it?"

"That too……"

Seeing that Suo's head seemed to have renewed hope, Meiberry curled her lips and asked, "Who on earth gave you such an impulsive suggestion to go up the mountain?"

"Well... no one suggested..."

"No one? Are you sure?"

Mayberry didn't believe it.

"I……"

Just when Suo Tou was about to open his mouth to say something to Mayberry, someone knocked on the door of their yard again...

Today I saw some red-sleeved babies in the backstage saying that they were not the ones who voted to flip the sign. I looked at the backstage and the data on the red-sleeved votes was not available, so I couldn’t see the specific votes in the backstage.

So today, let’s do a gratitude inventory of the Red Sleeve votes in June. Take some time to pull out all the little treasures who voted last month:

Thanks to little baby book friend 87750 for voting 1 red sleeve ticket~
