Raspberries are still very attractive. Several children searched for ripe raspberries in the mountains.
"Don't go to places with deep weeds. There are many poisonous insects in the mountains. It will hurt if you get bit."
Meng Haisheng couldn't help but remind the children that if he didn't keep his eyes on them, the little guys would go into the grass.
In the summer, there is no shortage of wild animals such as snakes and insects in the mountains. Meng Haisheng must keep a close eye on the children.
If he gets hurt, Lin Mucheng will definitely not let him off after returning home.
"Dad, you are so nagging. I will take good care of my brothers and sisters."
Momo took a long wooden stick and knocked in the surrounding grass. Then she took Xiao Shitou, Zi Zi, and Yan Yan to pick raspberries together.
Seeing how smart Momo was, the old man on the side was full of smiles.
Raspberries taste sweet and sour, very suitable for summer.
But if you eat too much, it will also make your teeth sour.
Meng Haisheng brought the children down from the mountain. As soon as he entered the house, he saw Lin Muching carrying a big watermelon from the well.
They had walked all the way and were sweating profusely. When they saw the watermelon, they immediately rushed over to eat a few bites of watermelon to quench their thirst.
"Oh, my teeth are so sour."
Momo frowned and covered her cheeks with her hands. She didn't expect that she would make her teeth sour just by eating some raspberries.
Not to mention eating watermelon, even if she was eating tofu, she was afraid that she couldn't bite it.
The other children were in the same situation as Momo.
"What did you eat?"
Lin Muching looked at the children with a strange look on his face.
"Nothing, just a few more raspberries."
Meng Haisheng took out a handful of raspberries wrapped in leaves from his clothes.
Lin Muching was not unfamiliar with this. She had picked them in the mountains before, but she had been in Beijing for many years and hadn't eaten raspberries for a long time.
With Meng Haisheng's hand, Lin Mucheng picked up a red raspberry and put it in her mouth. The sweet and sour taste made her squint her eyes.
Lin Mucheng's expression was exactly the same as Momo's, which made Meng Haisheng very amused. His wife was the mother of four children, but she still had such a lovely side.
Mr. Shi went to the mountains with Meng Haisheng. He was very tired at this time. Meng Haisheng invited him to sit under the grape trees in the yard and eat watermelon.
The slightly cool watermelon was taken in his mouth, and the heat on his body dissipated a lot.
Mr. Shi talked and laughed with the Meng family, and he was very relaxed.
Meng Guangzhu, who was next to him, saw Mr. Shi like this, and his face was full of smiles.
He was always worried that Mr. Shi would not be able to get used to living there. The living conditions in the mountains were really far worse than those in Beijing.
After eating watermelon, it will take a while before lunch. Taking advantage of this time, Meng Haisheng boiled the spring water brought down from the mountain and made tea for everyone.
The green tea everyone drank was brought by Meng Haisheng from Beijing. There are many elderly people in the family who love to drink tea. Meng Haisheng prepared the best tea early.
The spring water boiled, and Meng Haisheng made tea for everyone skillfully.
"Haisheng, it's just as you said, the taste of tea brewed with spring water is different."
Mr. Shi had drunk too many good teas, but the pot of tea brewed by Meng Haisheng today made him shine, and the taste was quite different from what he had drunk before.
Then Meng Guangzhu also tasted it and couldn't help but praise, "Haisheng, where did you get the spring water from? It tastes really good when used to make tea."
"There is a spring in the mountain stream. The amount of water is not large, but it seems to have water all year round. If you want to make tea later, you can go and get some."
"Well, I'll take two big buckets to get two buckets back later."
After lunch, Meng Guangzhu took Meng Haisheng to the rabbit farm and called Meng Haisheng out.
He said he was going to see the rabbits, but in fact he had something else to tell him.
"Haisheng, your great grandfather hasn't been in good condition these two days. It's probably just a recent thing. You should go and see him more often."
Meng Haisheng was stunned. He went to see Uncle Meng on the day he came back. Although he was sick and had been lying in bed, he looked mentally OK.
"He's old, and his body parts don't work well. If they say they don't work well, then they don't work well."
"Your aunts are all heartless. They don't care about your great grandfather, and only let your great grandmother take care of him at home."
Meng Guangzhu sighed. Grandma Meng is three years older than Grandpa Meng. How could she take good care of Grandpa Meng?
Since Grandpa Meng got sick, it was Meng Hailian who sent food to him every day, otherwise the two old people would have starved to death.
"I used to be very good with my aunts, and they often came back to see Grandpa."
Meng Haisheng was puzzled.
"It's all about money. Your great grandfather has several acres of land. Some time ago,, our family said that we would contract the farmland of the villagers and give certain compensation. ”
“Your great grandfather’s family has several acres of land, which is only worth 8,000 yuan in total. Your aunts all want this little money, but your great grandfather doesn’t want to give it to anyone. Not only that, but he is sick, and none of them came back.”
“How could their own daughter be so cruel? I guess it’s your uncles who are making trouble at home.”
“Two years ago, they proposed to sell your great grandfather’s old house, and they would take turns to support the two old people. Your great grandfather didn’t agree. I guess there was a gap in their hearts at that time.”
Meng Haisheng laughed when he heard it.
“They don’t want to support the elderly. I’m afraid they are attracted by the money my great grandfather has earned from raising rabbits in the past few years. The old house can only be sold for a few dollars. "
Uncle Meng is also a man of great ambition. When Meng Haisheng was reselling bupleurum, he also went up the mountain to dig some bupleurum. Although it was not much, it could still make some money.
Later, when digging ground turtles, Uncle Meng also made a lot of money by weaving bamboo cages.
When raising angora rabbits later, Uncle Meng was also one of the first to follow Meng Haisheng to raise them.
Although he didn't know much, Meng Haisheng knew. He would take care of Uncle Meng when giving injections and changing feed.
Before he fell ill, Uncle Meng had raised more than 30 angora rabbits in his yard.
Uncle Meng used to raise angora rabbits and make money, so he was naturally popular. Everyone wanted to support him. Now that he is sick and needs to be taken care of, he has disappeared.
Meng Haisheng has seen too many such things and doesn't find it strange.
"Hey, it's all about money. "
Meng Guangzhu took a deep puff of his pipe.
After lunch, Meng Haisheng brought some nutritional supplements to see Uncle Meng.
From childhood to adulthood, Uncle Meng liked Meng Haisheng, a naughty boy.
A long time ago, he had told Meng Guangzhu that he had no son, and when he died, he would let Meng Haisheng break the pot for him.
Meng Haisheng was not Meng Guangzhu's eldest son, and Meng Guangzhu agreed without thinking.
At that time, the family was so poor that they could not even afford to eat. Meng Haisheng was thin and small, and Uncle Meng felt sorry for him. He often helped Meng Haisheng and his wife from the few rations at home.
Meng Haisheng will never forget these favors.
