Married a scholar

▍He is not happy to hear someone scold Xia Wenze.

After dinner, Meng Yining went to take a shower, and Xia Wenze washed the pots and dishes.

Going to bed early, Meng Yining went to Xia Wenze's room to read. The original owner was also literate, but not much, but Meng Yining was literate.

His grandfather is a great calligrapher. He caught his cousins ​​and sisters to practice calligraphy since he was a child, so he not only knows traditional Chinese characters, but also can write calligraphy well.

Most of the bookshelves in Xia Wenze's room are poetry, poetry, policy theory, classics and other books, and there are few miscellaneous books such as travel notes and biographies.

Meng Yining found a book on geography and read it on a chair beside her.

The lamp is an oil lamp, and the dim light looks warm, but it is actually a little too dark for people who read books.

Meng Yining read the book for a while, rubbed his eyes and said, "In the future, if you want to read and practice calligraphy at night, you should turn on an extra lamp, so as not to damage your eyes." There are no myopia glasses in this era.

Xia Wenze was used to this kind of light, so he didn't think it was a problem, "Okay, if you want to read, you can read it in the daytime." As for why Meng Yining can read and write, Xia Wenze didn't even ask.

Meng Yining nodded, yawned, took the book and left, "You go to bed early, and there is no rush to read and practice calligraphy. There will be nothing to do when the work at home is over." There is only so much land at home, It's only four or five days to work hard.

"Understood." Xia Wenze put down his pen, glanced at the closed door, looked down at the words on the table, and smiled silently with his lips curled up.

Early the next morning, Xia Wenze wrapped several layers of medicinal cloth on his right hand in a decent manner, and he could smell the medicinal smell without getting close.

Meng Yining looked at it while eating, "What kind of medicine did you get? It smells strong enough." No one asked, even a sharper nose could smell the bitterness.

"The herbs we dug up, I also picked up some leaves and mashed them and applied them, and I added some yogurt you gave me." Xia Wenze coughed lightly, "I was thinking that these herbs are not common, but Doctor Zhou I moved to our village from outside, so I must have seen a lot of herbs, so I added some unfinished yogurt in it." The smell of regenerated fruit is a bit like yogurt, so he wanted to drink the leftovers in the box Add the yoghurt to the mashed concoction.

Meng Yining laughed out loud after hearing this, "You're pretty good at fooling around."

"Aren't you afraid that if more people know about it, it will draw Dr. Zhou's attention? He will definitely come over and have a look at that time, maybe he even wants to know the prescription." Xia Wenze frowned a little when talking about this. How to do it.

"The sweet potato has to be arranged in autumn." After finishing the sweet potato porridge in the bowl in one breath, Meng Yining wiped his mouth, "What are you worrying about? Doctor Zhou won't force him to know If you don’t keep your prescriptions, at most you will smell the medicine juice in your hand and study it.” There is a rule of one line, even if Dr. Zhou is curious, he will not force them to take out the prescription. At most, I will pester you to take a look at the concoction.

Xia Wenze nodded, "That's true, but I was thinking about it."

"If you care about it, you will be chaotic." Meng Yining piled up the empty bowls, stood up and said, "The things we made are enough to arouse suspicion of us." So there is really nothing to worry about, even if someone insists Staring at them, he is not afraid.

"I'll wash the dishes." Xia Wenze took the empty bowl to the kitchen, and Meng Yining followed behind him, "I planted the peanut and corn seeds today, and the rest will wait for the potatoes to germinate."

"Well, rest in the afternoon, and I will go to the field tomorrow." After cleaning up the kitchen, Xia Wenze put the selected peanut seeds and corn seeds into baskets.

Meng Yining thought for a while and said, "I'll tell you how to farm the fields then."

The rice planting here is very rough, that is, the water in the paddy field is drained, only a small amount of water is left, and then the soaked rice seeds are sprinkled in, and the water is slowly poured in after the seedlings grow up.There is no so-called link of seedling raising and transplanting.

Meng Yining was going to be a leader for them, to let them see the benefits of raising seedlings and transplanting them, and they would follow him in the coming year.

"Okay." Xia Wenze has never been in the field, but he has helped with the work in the field before.

Xia Wenze went to work in the field first, Meng Yining went to gather some fresh grass and came back, some of it was chopped and boiled for the little chickens to eat, and some of them were thrown to the little calf to eat.

After tidying up the house and going to the field, Meng Yining said to Xia Wenze: "When building the pigsty, we should also tear down the fence of our house and rebuild it."

"Okay." Xia Wenze also felt that the fence in his house was not suitable, "I will ask them to expand it outside and build it higher."

"Can it work?" The foundations of each house are well established, and the cultivated land is not allowed to be occupied. It seems that there is a small vegetable garden outside his house.

"It's okay, there are foundations all around." Xia Wenze said, "Let's just surround the vegetable garden as well."

"That's fine." Meng Yining nodded when he heard that, and he could then grow something else at home.

"Brother Ning, is that your grandma?" When Mrs. Zhang got up to take the seeds, he saw the old lady of the Meng family approaching aggressively, and hurriedly greeted Meng Yining who was working.

Meng Yining looked back, wasn't it just his good grandma who came over?He thought that the other party could bear it a little longer. After all, the Meng family has a lot of land, but there are not many people in the family who can work. The old man and his second cousin are the main force.

"Let me ask you, where did this land come from?" The old lady Meng asked Meng Yining angrily as soon as she came over. Where did it come from?She went to ask Meng Twelve in the morning and found out that the two acres of land were bought by the second child more than ten years ago.

No one in their family knew.

This is a first-class field, so it was given as a dowry to a brother who lost money.

Meng Yining straightened up and looked at her, "Didn't you find out everything, what else is there to ask?" He couldn't believe that she didn't find out the matter clearly before coming.

The old lady Meng immediately said as a matter of course, "Give me back the land."

Meng Yining laughed out loud, "Grandma, this land was left to me by my father, and my name is written on the land deed."

"I don't care. This land was bought by your father, and it belongs to our Meng family. Go and change the name on the deed." Mrs. Meng doesn't care about this, she only knows that these two acres of fine land cannot Let a money-losing product be taken to someone else.This is something from her Meng family.

Meng Yining was quite speechless. Although he knew from the memory of the original owner how weird this grandma was, after all, he had never really learned it. The day he wrote the divorce letter, he saw her meanness and stinginess, but he didn't expect this person to think quite well. Okay, "Why should I change it? I'm married now, and I wrote the divorce letter that day. In what capacity do you want me to change it? Just because you have kept me fed and clothed for the past few years, what are you doing?" The identity of a grandma who beats and scolds me every now and then?"

Meng Yining wouldn't spoil her, did she think the divorce letter was just for fun?

"It's not dark yet, did grandma start dreaming?"

"You money-loser, I never gave you enough food and clothing, and I raised you up like this. How are you doing now, and you, a money-loser, even blamed me instead." When the old lady Meng saw the people around her looking over, Immediately crying: "Second, come and see, your shameless daughter-in-law took away all your compensation money, and let us two old guys come to raise your child, now that the child is grown up He even blamed us."

Xia Wenze frowned, how could he scold Brother Ning like that?

I said silently in my heart several times that this is Grandma Ning, an elder, and I can't argue with her, so I didn't open my mouth to say anything about an old man.

Meng Yining watched her cry with a hoe, and when she finished crying, she said, "Grandma, if you call my father back, you are not afraid that my father will come to you in the middle of the night. It is her fault that my mother took away the compensation money." , What did my brother and I do wrong? The green brick house you live in was built with the money earned by my father, right? Half of the ten acres of land at home was bought with the money earned by my father? Don’t say that , since my father passed away, have my brother and I worked less at home? Even if we go to the town to do part-time jobs, the work my brother and I have done is enough to support us."

Just for a while, all the workers in the surrounding fields stopped their work and listened to join in the fun.Everyone felt harsh when they heard old lady Meng's crying, but no one stood up to speak for her.

Everyone stood on the ground with relish watching her howling there.

No one in the village didn't know what old lady Meng was like.So now that she is howling here, everyone treats it as a show, and no one speaks for her, which shows how unpopular this person is in the village.

"Your father is my son, and the money he earns should be given to us." The old lady Meng stared at Meng Yining and cursed: "You lose money and take the land your father bought to another house, you just follow me!" Your lowly mother is the same, she is an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf. She deserves to be divorced, and she deserves to be married to an ugly ghost."

Meng Yining was able to listen calmly at first, anyway, the original owner didn't know how many times he had been scolded for saying these words, so he was tired of hearing them long ago.

As a result, the old woman dragged Xia Wenze into it by cursing and cursing, and Meng Yining was a little unhappy.He didn't like to hear someone scold Xia Wenze, not even the original owner's grandma.

Originally, he wanted to have a few words with this old lady, but now he is too lazy to talk, his mouth is so cheap, so why not ask for it, Meng Yining gave the old lady a cold look, and when he turned around, he lightly moved his right hand back. With a flick.

Seeing Brother Ning turning around with a cold face, Xia Wenze quickly comforted him: "Don't take what she said to Brother Ning, you are fine." It's not a money-losing product, he knows that many people in the village treat sister Brother Er underestimated them, thinking that they were going to get married. He didn't like to listen to those words that looked down on Brother Ninger before, but now that Mrs. Meng said that about Brother Ning, he felt that those three words were particularly harsh. .
