Seventy cannon fodder is a ruthless man

Chapter 496 Guess

The women will never be short of topics when they get together, all kinds of rural news, parents’ short chats, before they know it is almost noon, the girls and daughters-in-law leave one after another, Meng Tao and Dongmei warmly invite them to have lunch, everyone shakes their heads and laughs It's okay to go home to feed the pigs, serve the chickens and ducks, and cook. Waiting for the people who work in the production team to come back to eat, Meng Tao is still living anyway, and come to talk again when he has time, and invite Meng Tao to their house Play.

Meng Tao stuffed the remaining sugar cakes on the table to the children and sent everyone out. In the end, Ge Xiangqin and Liang Qiuyue were left a few steps behind, and each gave them a cloth bag, which contained some candies, two cans of malted milk powder, and milk powder. A new suit for the child.

It was a gift that had been prepared earlier, and there were exchanges. Meng Tao and Shen Yu held a wedding in the capital and gave birth to Xiao Yunhai. They all entrusted the Taurus couple to bring gifts and items.

Ge Xiangqin and Liang Qiuyue didn't refuse, thanked them with a smile, and took the children home.

After lunch, Zhou Cuiling and Aunt Yang went home to rest with the baby, Xu Zhen took Xiao Yunhai to take a nap, Dongmei and Aunt Yu stayed at home, Captain Bao and Jin Niu took Meng Zhehan, Zhang Guoqing, Shen Yu and Meng Tao to visit the production The team's "breeding base".

This "planting and breeding base" relies on the "improved crop seeds collected overseas" sent back by Meng Tao one after another.

When it comes to "planting and breeding bases", Captain Bao is very ambitious, looking forward to the future with a heroic look of pointing out the country.

Even the Taurus has bright eyes, and his speech is not as bumpy as usual. He will give you popular science about planting and breeding knowledge, and then introduce the village. With the care and support of the commune and county leaders, and the help of Liu Jianxin, last year It has achieved very good results, with dividends at the end of the year, and the whole village has tasted the sweetness. The members have also accumulated experience and will continue to work hard to gradually expand the construction of new agricultural production bases and strive to become a model for the whole county, the whole region, and even the whole province. !
Taurus was full of self-confidence, eloquently provoking Xuanhe, and kept popping out some professional words that Meng Tao couldn't understand. It is estimated that the agricultural department cadres' presentations are similar to this.

Meng Tao, Shen Yu, and Meng Zhehan looked at each other with a smile. After three days of farewell, they looked at each other with admiration. Brother Jinniu is not what he used to be. I am very happy for him and hope that he will achieve greater and better results.

In the evening, they set up a table for dinner in the courtyard, and there were four tables full of men, all sitting crowded together. Meng Tao, Xu Zhen, Aunt Dongmei, Zhou Cuiling, Aunt Yang, Qian Xiaoyun, Jiang Limei, and He Huijuan opened a table in the house with their children.

He Huijuan and Jiang Xiaodong rushed back from the commune middle school after school in the afternoon, and Zhou Cuiling's father accompanied them.

The two goats bought by Jinniu and raised in the backyard were slaughtered by Lin Dagang, Lin Erhu and two young men from the village. The Lin Dagang brothers also brought chickens, ducks and bacon, as well as the Bao family, Zhou family, educated youths, and others. The neighbors all took chicken, duck, fish and rice noodles, and the meals were quite rich.

The beer, Erguotou, roast duck, roast chicken, and suckling pork that Meng Zhehan and Shen Yu Mengtao brought back from the city are considered rare, so everyone should try something new.

At the end of eating and drinking, many people passed out, basically all young people, and the older men were fine.

Meng Tao knew what was going on. Older people didn't like beer and only drank white wine. Young people were willing to try it. Mixing beer and white wine made them easy to get drunk, but it was fine. Add space pine needle dew to the water tank, and use this water for cooking food. People who have eaten it will restore their bodies.

If you get drunk tonight, you just need to sleep, and make sure you don't feel any discomfort when you wake up tomorrow morning.

After the feast was over and all the villagers had been sent away, Jin Niu said to Meng Tao: "Tomorrow is Qingming, we don't have to go up the mountain too early, let's wait until eleven o'clock."

Shen Yu asked from the side: "Is there any particularity?"

"No," Taurus rubbed his hands, looked at Shen Yu and Meng Zhehan, and then at Meng Tao: "After you returned to the capital, the uncle basically came here for two days a month, and Dongmei and I got married, so he remembered us What I said at the beginning, stopped the old woman and my father from making trouble, and didn't call anyone else, only brought the fourth uncle and the eighth to have a wedding. He asked about your situation, and I also told him, so he knows You have a small sea of ​​clouds.

This Ching Ming Festival, he guessed it himself, saying that you must take the children back to the village to visit the grandfather's grave and pay homage, and he will come at that time.I thought that if I didn't see him today, it might be tomorrow, and he would be there early. "

Meng Tao: "Come on, after all, he is his brother, how can we stop him from coming?"

"If he arrives early, he will arrive at ten o'clock. Shall we wait for him?"

"Well, just as you said, wait until eleven o'clock."

Meng Zhehan said: "In this case, let's drive there to pick it up."

Meng Tao was speechless, knowing that they also wanted to go out of the village for a stroll, so she said, "It's fine to look at the roadsides and intersections, don't go into that village, be careful to run into the old witch, you won't be able to fight her if she makes a fuss."

"Is it that scary?"

"It's amazing. If you don't believe me, you can try it. Anyway, I have learned it before, let alone Taurus."

Taurus smiled wryly: "Yeah, I'm not afraid of her now, but I still don't dare confront her face to face."

Bao Dongmei walked over to hear it after sweeping the ground, and asked, "What are you talking about, who dare not confront you?"

Taurus: "Talk about the grandma of Daliuzhuang. Grandpa will come tomorrow, and I'm afraid that grandma will follow to make trouble."

Bao Dongmei let out a hey: "Dare the old hag to come? It's okay, I have a way to deal with her!"

"Don't worry, she may not be able to come, and you don't need to go up if she does come. You are not alone now, so be careful."

"How can I not go? Wait until she disgusts that Geng Caiyue again? Don't worry, I can handle her as an old woman even if there are two or three of us!"

Taurus: "..." Can we not mention Geng Caiyue?He's also disgusting, okay?
Meng Tao smiled: Sure enough, the old saying is true, if you order tofu in marinated water, you can drop one thing, and there is such a top-quality grandma at the Jinniu stall, you have to marry a hot wife.

The next morning, He Huijuan went back to school to go to class first, and asked Jiang Xiaodong to take a leave of absence, so that Jiang Xiaodong and Xu Guoliang, on behalf of the educated youths, went to the mountain with Jinniu Mengtao to visit the grave.

Meng Tao also talked with the educated youths in private, relying on "internal information" to ask them to step up their revision in the near future, and the college entrance examination will resume soon.

The educated youths said that they have been reviewing their homework and are always ready.

Dongmei had already bought incense candles under the guidance of Aunt Yu, Jinniu killed another chicken, and Xu Zhen helped Mengtao, steaming a pot of white flour steamed buns and preparing offerings.

Meng Zhehan and Shen Yu hugged Xiaoyunhai, took Xiaowangcai with them, and drove out of the village towards Daliuzhuang. On the way, they actually picked up Meng Changshou, followed by one big and one small, each carrying a cloth bag, they were the old man's four sons Meng Laibao and the little old eight Meng Jinshan.

The three of them hurried on their way, when suddenly a car stopped in front of them, and the door opened automatically, which frightened them. They looked up and saw Meng Zhehan and Shen Yu inside. Meng Laoba jumped up happily and shouted: "Brother Shen Yu! Zhehan elder brother!"

Meng Changshou was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, and he greeted as he got into the car: "Son-in-law, nephew, when did you come? Where's Peach Blossom?"

Seeing Xiao Yunhai in Meng Zhehan's arms, he said excitedly, "This is our Taohuasheng's baby? It's called Meng Yunhai?"

Meng Zhehan was overjoyed, and wanted to see Shen Yu's reaction.

Shen Yu looked indifferent.

Meng Laibao sat down on the seat and hurriedly reminded: "Father, the eldest grandson's name is Shen Yunhai."

"Oh, Shen Yunhai... This is also our family's good grandson, good grandson!"

Returning to the village by car saved at least an hour, and then waited for Meng Changshou to do something in the main room. At 09:30, the group went up the mountain to visit the tomb.

The weather is sunny and everything grows, and the fields and forests are full of greenery and verdure. Even with the sweeping ceremony every year, Meng Shengli's cemetery is still covered with a layer of weeds. There are many people who come here, and the big guys are busy mowing, pulling weeds, and cultivating soil. Meng Changshou asked Jin Niu to offer the first incense stick, Meng Laibao the second incense stick, Meng Tao and Meng Jinshan put offerings, he went to the tombstone and muttered something, then beckoned Shen Yu to offer incense, and asked Meng Zhehan to carry Xiao Yunhai over. Teach Xiao Yunhai to make a bow, and then everyone is free to offer incense...

Meng Tao saw the old man talking, and let him go. Anyway, this kind of "superstitious activities" is no longer a concern, and it will intensify in a year or two.

At the end of the sacrifice, Jinniu and Jiang Xiaodong poured out the burnt incense candles and other fires with water, so as not to spread and ignite the forest. It would be a big event. The burning of mountains and deforestation caused Guo Jia's property loss, not only compensation but also imprisonment.

After noon, the sun was already quite hot. Everyone went down the mountain along the path. Xiao Wangcai rarely came out to have fun in the mountains, forests and grass. Playing in the sea of ​​clouds, Meng Tao saw the little bird trembling with fright, but luckily the whole beard and tail were not injured, so she let it fly and warned Xiao Wangcai not to attack others again.

Back home, Bao Dongmei, Aunt Yu, Aunt Yang and the others had prepared meals, and everyone was hungry, so they sat down and made a meal.

After dinner, they went to work or take a rest. Meng Lai Bao pulled Jinniu out of the yard and stood by the door to talk. Meng Tao cleaned up the table in the yard and listened carefully to what they had to say.

It turned out that Meng Laibao asked Jin Niu to tell his father-in-law, Captain Bao, to quietly get some improved cash crops cultivated in Linshui Village and ask him to bring them back to Daliu Village to plant.

Taurus refused.

Meng Laibao said anxiously: "Sanba, uncle didn't treat you badly before, right? Your eighth brother also thinks about you everywhere. Now that uncle is separated, he doesn't have anything he wants, and he lacks everything. Uncle understands that you just got married. I won’t cry to you to borrow money, as long as you give me a little bit of that seed, I will plant it in the private plot in the backyard of my house, and when I sell it, I can pay the school fees for the old eight and buy some pens and paper.”

Taurus: "No, Uncle, don't embarrass me."

"What's so embarrassing about it? It's about a conversation between you and your father-in-law!"

"No, it's not good. It's useless to talk too much. Go back quickly, don't be late and walk at night."

"..."

Meng Tao gave Taurus a thumbs-up in her heart, she must have grown up, she knew how to refuse, and no longer gave her all for a little warmth and kindness, regardless of herself.

Captain Bao heard from Shen Yu and Meng Zhehan that they would go back tomorrow, and Meng Tao followed suit. Thinking about something he hadn't talked to her about, he hurried over to find Meng Tao.
