Chapter 9 Grabbing

The next day, Meng Xi was still the same, but she didn't go to the town, but hid in a shaded place to rest. Although it was hot to sleep in the wheat waves, she at least didn't have to work. Anyway, she couldn't be seen in the places where Tao Hui and Meng Jianghe were separated.

Hua Yushuang worked in the field. While drinking water, she caught a glimpse of the lazy Meng Xi. He had always hated this behavior the most and did not expose it for the first time. He stared at Meng Xi's slender wrist and couldn't help but move his Adam's apple.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

Hua Yufeng, who was following Hua Yushuang to pick up wheat straw, was puzzled. At his brother's speed, he should be far from being able to keep up.

Hua Yushuang withdrew her gaze, and the force on her hands became heavier. She left Hua Yufeng far behind. Hua Yufeng was about to cry without tears. If he had known that he would not have talked much, his waist...

The next day after the rush to collect, the whole family was so tired that they were panting, but Meng Xi was calm and made Meng Dongni very jealous.

"Why are you not tired at all? Are you lazy?" She acted coquettishly with Tao Hui today. Although she was still feeding pigs, Tao Hui asked Meng Xuni to pick the pig grass.

"That's because I'm in good health." Meng Xi said in anger that he was not worth his life.

If Meng Dongni complains again, she will be in poor health.

Tao Hui, who originally wanted to quarrel with Meng Xi, stopped talking in an instant. Although she was very tired, she would never admit that she was in poor health.

In the evening, Meng Xi created two meat buns for his two sisters.

"There is no meat today, only buns."

Meng Xuni took it and took a bite. She thought it was just a steamed bun, but she didn't expect it to be covered with fat and thin meat.

"Is this called no meat?" Although it is not as good as the big bowl of meat yesterday, compared to the things on the dinner table, meat buns work part-time delicious.

Meng Shengni praised repeatedly: "Little sister, where did you get so much money to buy meat?"

"I went to the mountain to fight rabbits and exchange them."

Although rabbit meat is rarer than pork, it does not have more pork. Only the city people will be greedy for fresh purchases. The powerful hunting men in the village will also change their prey when they catch them. Otherwise, eating wild vegetables and corn lumps every day will not be smooth.

The eldest sister and the third sister really stopped asking questions.

After eating the buns, I continued to eat the fruit. Today, Meng Xi took out persimmons, one person, two people, and three people were satisfied with the small cooking.

Meng Yuewen, who was next door, smelled the aroma of meat for several days, could no longer hold it back. He ran to the next door and happened to meet three people eating persimmons.

Meng Xi was startled: "Why are you here?"

I have almost eaten the persimmons, so I wonder Meng Yue won’t snatch them either.

Although she didn't hate Meng Yue as much as Meng Dongni, she couldn't like her either.

Meng Yue slid and knelt in front of Meng Xi pitifully: "Sister, I want to eat meat too."

She looked pitiful like a little puppy.

Meng Jianghe and Tao Hui have good genes, and none of them are ugly at home. Meng Yue has been carefully raised since childhood, so it is naturally even more impossible for him to be ugly.

There were two white steamed buns on the dining table just now, and they were eaten by Meng Dongni and Meng Yue. Meng Yue originally planned to stay and share them with three sisters, but who knew that Tao Hui saw through his thoughts at a glance and forced him to finish eating on the spot.

But where does white flour steamed bun have the aroma of meat buns?

Meng Yue's spoiled her three sisters caught her off guard, but they all knew very well and didn't say anything.

Big sister, third sister is like Meng Xi. When he was eating white flour steamed buns just now, he didn't think about why they should share the meat buns with him?

"What did you say? Where did the meat buns come from?"

Meng Xi's eyes turned and decided to pretend to be stupid.

Meng Yue pointed to the persimmon in her hand: "Sister Four, I really haven't eaten enough. If I don't have meat buns, I can do it."

Meng Xi finished eating the persimmons in a few strokes, and slapped her hands into the quilt to sleep. Although Tian Shengli had done all her work, she was not as comfortable as her home when she was lying in the field to rest.

The eldest sister and the third sister made the same move.

Meng Yue knew that it was impossible to get something, so he turned around and went back in disappointment, making up his mind to come in earlier tomorrow, but when will the fourth sister go up the mountain to catch the rabbit? Why didn't he know?

Meng Xi gave out apples today and gave Tian Shengli three more meat buns. She made a little more buns yesterday, so she was not used to eating overnight food.

"Two are for you, and one is also for you to hand it over to my third sister when you are resting."

Meng Xi was not worried that he would lose things. Most rural people were simple and if he dared to steal food, he would be gone next time.

Tian Shengli's eyes turned green when he looked at the meat bun. He had just eaten a bowl of corn porridge in the morning, and he was not half full.

As for why Meng Xi only gave it to her third sister and not her parents, he didn't ask, why should he care about so much about other people's affairs?

"Don't worry, sister Meng Xi, I'll put the buns in the lunch box and make sure they'll be warm when I give them to your third sister."

Tian Shengli cut Meng Xi's field and became even more energetic.

Meng Xi did not disguise this time. When he arrived at the black market, he took out a pomegranate and banana, and still showed a corner. After a while, someone asked.

"Pomegranate is one pound, five pounds, one dollar is cheaper when buying five pounds, and one pound of banana is one pound, no bargaining price."

The person asking for the price was not expensive: "Give me five kilograms of pomegranates." The eldest sister generously took out six yuan and five yuan.

When it was sold out, Meng Xi saw surrender. This time he was holding two pig trotters in his hand. These days, the pig trotters are more than the one on his feet, and their thighs are cut high.

Chen Fu had never seen this before. Meng Xi pretended not to know him and stepped forward: "How to sell pig's trotters?"

"Four dollars per pound, don't have meat tickets. Hey, girl, why do I think you look so familiar?"

His eyes were bright and bright, and he seemed to have seen them somewhere.

Meng Xi was not at all panicked: "Is that so? My friends say I am a public face."

Chen Fu curled his lips. If this watery little look was a public face, then the public face would be too beautiful.

"Maybe, do you want pig's trotters?"

"It's about three yuan, I didn't bring so much money today."

Chen Fu was late. If he saw Meng Xi selling fruits, he would shout that he had been cheated.

"If you buy one, I will give you three yuan. " Chen Fu gritted his teeth, for fear of being a little scruple, so he insisted on cutting a knife, and the price would be reduced as soon as the pig's trotter was cut.

"good."

Chen Fu skillfully weighed the pig's trotters of two and a half pounds, a total of nine yuan.

Meng Xi paid the money and put the meat into the basket, and the next second the meat entered the space.

By changing his identity to sell fruits, Meng Xi quickly accumulated 300 yuan, which is already a huge sum of money these days.

It was already a week since she provided Wang Jinbu with supplies, and she kept her word.

"Sister, is your family's rush to collect it?"

"Not yet, these two days." Although the whole village was involved in the battle, the wheat fields in the south were famously large and endless. After harvesting, they had to plant a new round of wheat seedlings, and they would have to work for a long time.
