Chapter 26 There are still people who are thinking about him and caring about him
Liu Sanjin didn’t go home immediately. She clutched her heart and kept saying it for a long time, just wanting to wait for Lu Mingyang to come out so that she could say bad things about Shen Meng. No matter how many times Lu Mingyang came out, Whether this child is her biological grandson is now listed in the old Lu family's household registration book. The legitimate eldest son and legitimate grandson must be filial to her when he grows up. But Shen Meng is different.
She was married outside and was an outsider. In her heart, she still treated Lu Mingyang's children very well, so she firmly believed that as long as she and Shen Meng had a conflict, the children would definitely treat her unconditionally. towards her.
But she waited for a long time and no one came out, so she turned around and walked away angrily.
Chen Meng returned to the main room with the letter and the remittance slip. There was thirty-five yuan on the remittance slip. Shen Meng felt happy. The original owner kept it for himself, plus the compensation from Liu Sanjin and the production team, and then received the remittance. The total amount on the order is sixty-two yuan. In this day and age, having so much liquidity in hand is already a lot.
After opening the letter, there was a remittance slip inside. Shen Meng frowned. There was only eighteen yuan on it, along with five ten-pound food stamps, eight-foot cloth stamps and some other miscellaneous stamps.
Did Shen Meng frown? What happened to Lu Zhenping? Why did he get two remittance orders, and the package pick-up notice seemed to have been sent separately.
While she was stunned, Lu Mingyang walked over.
"Mom, did dad send the letter back?"
Hesitating, Shen Meng said: "Yes, why did your dad send two remittance orders, and This package seems to have been sent separately. What’s going on? ”
"Mom, then, maybe the uncles in the army put it together and sent it to me and Mingliang and Mingfang." He was a little heavy when he said this, and slowly lowered his head. Only at this moment did he I feel that there are still people who care about me, care for and love me, those former comrades of my father.
Chen Meng was surprised for a moment and looked at the allowance sent back by Lu Zhenping. He had been promoted to deputy captain last year. The allowance should be more than fifty yuan a month. The original owner knew that his position had been promoted at that time. He was so happy that he reservedly didn't ask about the allowance, thinking that it would definitely be indispensable, but this month Lu Zhenping only sent eighteen yuan.
She suddenly understood why there was a saying of "poor soldiers" in the past. Ordinary soldiers earn six or seven yuan a month, and their food and accommodation are naturally provided by the army. But some of the sacrificed people, their families Life is very difficult. There are countless families like Lu Mingyang, Lu Mingliang and Lu Mingfang.
Chen Meng was deeply touched. Suddenly, she felt that the letters, parcel receipts and remittance slips in her hands were so heavy that she could hardly hold them. Shen Meng tugged at the corner of her mouth, but still couldn't laugh.
"Hey, Mom knows, I will take these letters home. Mingyang, come over and read this letter, and read it to your brothers and sisters."
Lu Mingyang: "."
Why are you bringing this up? Didn't you say that you didn't want to go to school? I’m so forgetful as I get older! ! !
"Mom, eldest brother is illiterate, and I am illiterate, hehe!"
Chen Meng: "."
Hehehe, you are tall, hehe, you are learning. How can you not go to school at your age? Look at your illiterate words in a loud voice. Those who don’t know think it is something to be proud of!
"When autumn comes, I'll ask someone to tell me that Mingyang, Mingliang and Mingfang are all going to school. No one is allowed to be left behind. Xiaokai is young. He will have to go to school when he is older." "Mom, didn't you mean to go to school? Isn’t it useful? And you see a lot of educated youths going to the countryside? They are all studying, or working in the fields," Lu Mingliang said hurriedly. He did not want to go to school. Daqing was in the third grade this year. He said that the teacher asked him to recite the book, but when he couldn't recite it, he pinched his eyelids and burst into tears. Wow, he doesn’t want to go!
Chen Meng raised the letter in his hand, smiled and looked at the children who were obviously resisting and said: "If you don't go to school, you won't be literate. If you don't know how to read, you won't even know how to read the letter sent by your father. My mother is not very literate, but when I go to the post office to pick up things, I still have to press my fingerprints and sign my name. In the past few years, educated youths have also returned to the city one after another, and they all came back to recruit workers. I will pick them up later. You are also the ones earning a salary. Do you want to farm for the rest of your life? Of course, my mother didn’t say that farming is not good. My uncles from the army collected the money and sent it to you. Don’t you want to repay them if you are illiterate? You don’t know where to go when you go out, do you?”
Lu Mingliang: “.”
Lu Mingyang: “.”
The other two melon-eaters: "."
That makes perfect sense! ! !
“There is no need to discuss this matter. We all have to go to school after the autumn harvest. I will go back and ask the village chief to help me tell you your names. I have a headache. Your third aunt seems to know a lot of words. Wait for her. Come here and ask her to give us a few illiterate people a good meal. Nian Nian, I really have a headache day by day. Let’s wash the dishes in the morning. To calm down, my mother has gone back to the house.”
Lu Mingliang: “.”
Why is it me? I have to go to school in a miserable life, why are you still asking me to wash the dishes? ? ?
When Xie Jing came over, she saw several children with sad faces. Her heart skipped a beat, and her hand holding Xiao Gang tightened. Xiao Gang was too timid to come out from behind her. He had seen his aunt beating someone. Yes, very scary.
"Mingyang, what's wrong with you guys? Where's your mother?"
"Third Aunt, my father has a letter. My mother is illiterate herself and can't understand what my father wrote. The letter made me angry and asked us to go to school after autumn. I was so angry that I went back to the house and lay down with a headache."
Lu Mingyang/Lu Mingfang: "."
You are a good messenger. of! ! !
Xie Jing breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Lu Mingliang's words. She thought her sister-in-law had started teasing several children again!
“It’s good to go to school. Reading and literacy is a good thing. There will be a future in the future. Your brother Xiaogang is young. When he grows up, let him go to school. He can’t suffer the disadvantage of being uneducated. Xiaogang You play with your brothers and sisters here, and I’ll go find your aunt.”
"Okay."
Lu Mingliang was a little disappointed. He thought Xie Jinghao would be interested in them, but he didn't expect that they would also be asked to study. What's so good about studying? They have to sit in the classroom every day. He went up the mountain to catch birds, went down to the river to catch fish, and stole sweet potatoes and found a mountain col to bake them!
Chen Meng read the letter again. The main idea was to ask how the children were doing. I wonder if the family leave this year can be granted, so that she can be well by herself. If she has something to do, find someone to write to him, and remember to be filial. The father-in-law and mother-in-law gave Liu Sanjin three yuan and shared some of the customs and customs of southern Yunnan.
Lu Zhenping gave up his family leave last year to his comrades who hadn't been home for three years. If he didn't come back this year, he wouldn't have come back for three years. Shen Meng sighed. I had heard that it was not easy to be a soldier, but when he really got married When she was in this position, she realized that it was an indescribable grievance and powerlessness. She couldn't describe it. She had only been a military dependent for two days, but she had mixed feelings in her heart.
