Chapter 169 Love letter?

The next morning, Meng Shulan woke up at around five o'clock.

Because of the holiday today, the store closed early at six o'clock.

After getting up, Meng Shulan packed up, Meng Changli drove the car, He Jinqiu locked the door, and the three adults and two children prepared to return to the village.

When they arrived at the town entrance, Meng Shulan glanced in the direction of Ye's shop.

They were doing very well in the first week of the new year, and they had no idea what was going on at the Ye family.

Today is a holiday and there is no market, so the Ye family's shop is closed.

Seeing her sister looking over there, Meng Changli smiled and said, "I haven't asked anyone about the situation over there. I'm too busy. I can't even handle all the orders, and I don't have the energy to care about them. But I heard they don't have the night shift anymore and have laid off half of their employees."

As the distance between the two sides grew farther and farther, Meng Changli no longer cared about others.

Now, the Ye family is no longer qualified to be an opponent, so it doesn’t matter what those people do.

Meng Changli drove quickly and got home before seven o'clock.

According to custom, we should eat dumplings this morning.

Home-ground glutinous rice flour with brown sugar in the middle has good meaning and tastes good.

Meng Fude had already boiled the water and prepared the glutinous rice flour, and was waiting for them to come back to make dumplings.

That morning, Meng Shulan ate six dumplings the size of a child's fist.

After breakfast, Meng Shulan wanted to carry a basket to the fields to get pig food and help digest the food.

He Jinqiu refused because she was afraid that her clothes would get dirty.

Today Meng Shulan was wearing the suit that Gu Hansong gave her last time in Nancheng.

It was a holiday, and it happened to be the day she was going back to the village, so she dressed up a little to see if she could run into Gu Hansong.

Since she couldn't go to the fields, Meng Shulan said she would take the two kids out for a walk.

When she came back in the morning and didn't see Gu Hansong, she wanted to go out and try her luck.

He Jinqiu just asked her to come back before lunch.

Meng Shulan grabbed two handfuls of melon seeds and candy and went out.

The Gu family was right next door, so if she really wanted to find someone, she could just knock on the door. But that was too deliberate, and she felt a little embarrassed.

Meng Shulan took her two nieces for a walk around, but didn't see many people, let alone Gu Hansong.

Yes, we have a reunion dinner at noon. Who would run outside except those who have nothing to do in the kitchen?

There are not many people in the Gu family, so Gu Hansong must be the one preparing lunch.

He is busy now and has no time to go out.

Meng Shulan sighed and prepared to go back with the two children. When she arrived at the ground in front of the courtyard gate, she saw Gu Yue sitting on a stone pier with a branch in his hand, staring blankly.

Seeing Meng Shulan and the other two, Gu Yue's eyes lit up and she called out sweetly, "Sister Shulan, did you guys go out to play?"

Meng Shulan: "Yeah, what are you doing here?"

Gu Yue: "Waiting for you!"

"wait for me?"

Meng Shulan was a little confused.

Gu Yue changed the topic and said, "I'm waiting for you guys, let's play together."

When Huang Huina and Huang Sijia heard this, they immediately gathered around.

The three little guys hadn't seen each other for a week, and soon they started playing kicking stones.

Meng Shulan smiled and prepared to go back first, but Gu Yue turned around and called her back.

"Sister Shulan, this is for you."

Gu Yue handed Meng Shulan a small square made of paper.

Meng Shulan was a little confused. After taking it, she wanted to ask something, but Gu Yue ran away again.

Never mind, there’s no need to ask.

Meng Shulan quickly put the piece of paper into her pocket, said something to the two children, and went back to the yard.

After entering her own yard and returning to her room, she locked the door, went to the window, and slowly unwrapped the paper cube in her hand. To be honest, it was the first time she received something written by him, and to be honest, she was a little excited, her heart pounding.

What would he write to himself?

It can’t be a love letter!

Meng Shulan blushed at the thought of this possibility.

This guy is really something. Why write a letter if he can't say it in person?

Meng Shulan was lost in thought and her heart was beating faster and faster, but when she unfolded the letter, she was dumbfounded.

There was definitely no love poem or anything like that. It only had one sentence: "After lunch, at Tian Changxiu's house."

This probably means that she should go to the Tian family behind to play after dinner.

Today is the Lantern Festival, and we don’t have to visit relatives. After dinner, we have nothing to do, so we just eat melon seeds, chat, play cards, etc. to kill time.

"Really? I'm going on a date at someone's house..."

But there are so many eyes in the village, there is nothing we can do.

Meng Shulan was always thinking about this matter and was a little absent-minded during lunch.

She was not a person who liked to go out and visit friends, so how to go to the Tian family behind without making any noise was a big challenge.

Fortunately, before she could say anything after dinner, Meng Changli said, "Since we don't have anything to do in the afternoon, let's go out for a walk."

Meng Changli spent the whole morning counting accounts this morning and felt dizzy and wanted to go out for some fresh air.

He Jinqiu also let them go out and play, as it was a rare day off.

The two sisters went out with their two children.

When she came outside, Meng Changli had no idea where to go.

Meng Shulan deliberately led everyone to the back.

They did not go directly to the Tian family, but passed by below, and someone from above called them over to drink tea and play cards.

The Meng sisters are now very famous in the village. It is rare to meet them, so we have to call them over and treat them well.

The two sisters went upstairs and looked up. Wow, there were already three card tables.

The stone dam here for drying grain is large enough, and it is indeed a good place to gather.

As soon as they arrived, someone immediately offered them a seat at the card table.

Meng Changli doesn't play, she likes chatting.

Meng Shulan was pulled a few times by a daughter-in-law and finally sat down.

I haven't met Gu Hansong yet, but with so many people here, it's impossible that he called me over just to have a face-to-face chat. He probably wanted to play cards with me.

Meng Shulan thought very clearly, but she had been studying at home for many years and had rarely played with these things, so she lost in the first round.

People in the village just play casually during the New Year and other festivals, and the amounts are very small, starting at two cents.

But losing all the time was also a headache. In less than half an hour, Meng Shulan had lost more than 20 cents.

Although Meng Shulan didn't care about this little money, she felt bad about always losing.

At this moment, someone called out from the edge of the bamboo forest, "Hey, Gu Hansong! Hansong, Hansong, come up quickly to drink tea and play cards! Come on, come on..."

Gu Hansong is also a popular figure in the village now!

What’s going on today? All the big shots are here.

The head of the Tian family went down personally to pull Gu Hansong up.

Gu Hansong in the village is much more low-key than outside. Except for his leather shoes, he wears his old clothes.

When they saw Gu Hansong, people at the three poker tables offered them seats.

Gu Hansong came to Meng Shulan's table without leaving any trace.

Uh……

Can he play cards?
Meng Shulan didn't know and had never seen him play it.

But this man was very calm. He swept his cold eyes across the table, as if he had a sure win.
