Chapter 170: Don’t be so open with me
When Shen Xiaobin went back, Shen Meng gave him two books, which Mingliang had never used before. There were also two notebooks and a pen, which Shen Xiaobin kept. He looked very embarrassed when he was there, and even wanted to put it on the table secretly, pretending that he had forgotten to take it, but Shen Meng twisted his ears and scolded him.
“It’s not like I’m asking you to take the No. 1 exam, and I’m asking you to know a few more words, but you still resist. Is it that easy to go to work in a textile factory? Most of the people there have gone to school and been assigned. Some of them may still be children from the textile factory compound. You used to After getting to know so many people, you can’t even write anything if they ask you to do it. Wouldn’t it be embarrassing for you? Also, I asked you to do this job, so you can’t embarrass me.”
After hearing this, Wang Guizhi clenched her fists and hit her son hard twice.
“Xiong Gaozi, your sister is doing this for your own good. With such a good job, other people’s ancestral graves won’t be able to be retrieved even if they are on fire. Your knowledge of words makes you so anxious and angry, little one. Bin, if you don’t want to make progress, your sister and your brother-in-law will be embarrassed. If you make it difficult for your sister and your brother-in-law, I will definitely not let you go.”
Shen Xiaobin had a stern look on his face and quickly put all the pen and paper textbooks in his arms.
"I understand, sister, I will study hard. If there is something I don't understand, I will ask the knowledgeable people in the village. I will not embarrass you."
" Okay."
When Shen Meng and Lu Zhenping sent the Shen family to the entrance of the hospital, Wang Guizhi pulled her over, took out thirty yuan from his pocket and handed it to her.
"Daughter, I keep track of all the money you gave to my family. This time your brother got engaged, and you helped buy watches and order bicycles. My parents owe you enough. Now, you can take the money and wait until your brother's matter is settled. My parents, your brother and sister-in-law will work together for two years to pay off the debt as soon as possible and pay back all the money you gave me." br>
Shen Meng hurriedly pushed back and stuffed the money into her pocket.
"Mom, what are you doing? Our family's life is so easy and enjoyable. How can you give me money? If you have money, you might as well treat my two sisters-in-law better and let them I can buy some decent gifts to go back to my parents' house, and avoid being scolded every time I go back. Xiaobin is My brothers, brother and sister-in-law can all contribute, and those who can contribute will contribute. It makes no sense for me as a sister to have money and live a comfortable life. Isn’t it difficult for you and dad?”
“Xiaomeng, that’s not what I said. You have become a monk after all. I always take money from the family. As time goes by, can my son-in-law be okay with it? And your parents-in-law, even if they don’t take it right, they are still Zhenping’s parents. You can’t treat them differently. Those who should be filial should still be filial. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. , also remember to buy something for your parents-in-law to send over. Tsk, don’t give it to them. I pursed my lips and listened to my mother’s words!”
Chen Meng said haha, Lu Zhenping’s comrades had already given away a bunch of things when they got together, and just give them a meat dish during the Chinese New Year. She wouldn't give it to that old lady Liu Sanjin!
"Okay, okay, I understand. Hurry up and get on the oxcart. It's so cold that it will be dark when you get home. I don't want this money. I only want the money to build a house. I Don't worry, just give it to me whenever you have it at home. Lu Zhenping won't have any objections. He hopes you will spend more of his money, so that he can feel at ease. When he returns to the army, you can take care of our three mothers. Don’t worry too much about him.”
Besides, she had a lot of room for these things, so they weren't worth anything at all. Seeing her daughter's perfunctory attitude, Wang Guizhi felt really angry, happy, and helpless.
New Year’s Eve is the time when every family makes fried meatballs, sugar cakes and boiled oil to visit relatives. A bunch of relatives came to the old home, and everyone gathered around Zhou Jiaojiao and Lu Jiaxuan to talk. He's a commune officer, and he's going to work in a textile factory soon. , the two people holding the iron rice bowl in their hands were naturally praised by the stars. Wu Xianglan was busy in the kitchen alone, and finally made Yi Zhuozi's meal. Liu Sanjin also ordered her to go to the big room to borrow tables, chairs and benches. She was very angry. Her stomach ached and throbbed. After hearing her complaint, Shen Meng's eyes and brows were filled with smiles, and she reached out to greet Lu Mingyang.
"Mingyang, take your younger brothers and sisters to deliver all the things your second aunt needs. Don't stay there. Your father will prepare food soon. Come back for dinner soon!”
“I understand, Auntie, please rest while we go get you something.”
Wu Xianglan was so moved that she was so obsessed with lard before. How could she think of always embarrassing her sister-in-law?
A few people from Mingyang carried benches and rushed towards the old home. Their mother had said that during the Chinese New Year, New Year's money would be collected. There were many relatives at home. Grandpa and grandma would not ask for New Year's money in front of everyone. It depends on whether you give it or not. If you don’t give it, you can act recklessly. Whoever has the ability to ask for the New Year’s money will get it without having to hand it over. This is the opportunity they have been waiting for!
“Drink some orange water quickly. I bought this at the supply and marketing cooperative when I went back to the county town last time. It was so popular that I almost didn’t buy it. The supply and marketing cooperative in the county town is really big, bigger than the one in the commune. Wait. You go to the county town, go shopping and buy whatever you want.”
Wu Xianglan took a sip, um, it tasted very good, and it was very sweet. She looked at the half pack of orange powder with eyes filled with tears. Full of longing.
"Pianlan, I have another pack at home. Take this pack back and let Yongqiang and Yongli have a good taste, but you must also take it out so that the old lady can see it and give it to you. Gotta go.”
"This, this is not good, sister-in-law, how can I ask you for such a precious thing? You can keep it for your children."
When Wu Xianglan refused, her heart ached. What if? In the past, she would accept it secretly without fail, but now she can't. Shen Meng is quite nice to her. If she keeps shamelessly accepting other people's things, how can she follow her in the future?
Chen Meng sighed and put half a bag of orange powder in her arms.
“Just take it if I ask you to, and don’t be so open with me. I just heard you say that Jiaojiao took all the relatives who came over to her own house. Her house is still the same as before with my children and me. The house they live in is small and shabby. With so many people, she is not afraid of missing things. If someone can't resist the temptation and steals something and puts it in his pants, this will happen. Who would have thought, alas, I didn’t mean to say that the hands and feet of the uncle’s family are so bad!”
Wu Xianglan’s heart tightened when she heard that, yes, the uncle’s family came here every time. The relative was clearly here to enjoy the autumn breeze. If Zhou Jiaojiao took away the notice from the textile factory, wouldn't it ruin her future?
"Well, sister-in-law, I still have a lot of things to do at home. I won't talk to you anymore. I have to go back quickly. I'll take this orange powder. Thank you, sister-in-law."
Chen Meng smiled. He sent the person to the gate of the courtyard, and after waiting for a while, he saw Mingyang walking towards his home with a bunch of younger brothers and sisters with their chests puffed out and as high-spirited as a victorious rooster.
