Chapter 241 Let's Eat Leftovers
It was already late when Shen Zheng came back.
He looked from outside the yard and saw that there was no light at home, and it was pitch black. When he
entered the house, it was cold and deserted. It was obvious that no one was at home and no one was cooking. He didn't understand where everyone had gone.
Shen Zheng looked around and saw that there were leftovers at home from lunch. He cooked some noodles and heated up the leftovers.
He had eaten half of the leftovers when he finally heard some noise outside.
Not only did someone come back, but there was also the aroma of meat and vegetables.
Shen Zheng stood up and went out to see that Fang Xiaoluo and the others had all come back, and they were holding lunch boxes in their hands.
"Whose house did you go to for dinner?" Shen Zheng asked.
Shen Jinxia jumped over, "Dad, we're going to a restaurant to eat. The food is so delicious."
Zheng Lanhua walked over and saw Shen Zheng eating leftovers.
She put the lunch box on the table, "You're eating leftovers. It's just right. I'll give you two new leftovers, pure meat."
Shen Zheng wondered if he had been forgotten.
He opened the lid of the lunch box. One box contained leftover beef brisket with tomatoes, and the other box contained a few pieces of ribs, two pieces of pig's trotters, and four pieces of hairtail.
"Mom, why did you go to a restaurant to eat today?"
Fang Xiaoluo washed her hands and smiled as she waved her driver's license in front of Shen Zheng, "Of course it's to celebrate this."
Shen Zheng's eyes lit up, "Did you get your driver's license?"
"Yes, look how awesome I am." Fang Xiaoluo was very happy.
Shen Zheng directly hugged Fang Xiaoluo and spun around a few times.
The three children were watching with great interest.
Shen Jinxia covered her mouth, "Wow, Daddy is so strong."
Zheng Lanhua quickly pulled the three children over, "Don't look at what you shouldn't look at."
"Haifeng, Haiping, how come you two don't have homework?"
Fang Xiaoluo was spun around by Shen Zheng twice, and suddenly felt a little churning in his stomach.
"Quick, put me down."
Shen Zheng also felt that Fang Xiaoluo's face was a little wrong, and quickly put him down.
"What's wrong with you? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
After standing there for a while, Fang Xiaoluo felt much better in his stomach.
She rubbed her stomach, "It should be because I just finished my meal, I ate a little too much, and suddenly I feel a little sick."
Zheng Lanhua hit Shen Zheng, "Look at you, Xiaoluo has made you sick, eat your meal quickly."
Shen Zheng said quickly, "It's my fault. Are you okay now?"
Fang Xiaoluo sat down, and Zheng Lanhua went to pour her a cup of hot water and brought it over.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'll digest it."
Zheng Lanhua saw the two people sitting there, and took Shen Jinxia into the house.
Shen Zheng saw that Fang Xiaoluo's complexion had improved, and he was relieved.
He ate a few bites of the food and said, "This dish is definitely not your leftovers."
Zheng Lanhua came out to pour water, and after hearing this, she said, "You are so smart, it's time to serve the food, Xiaoluo served it to you first."
Shen Zheng felt warm in his heart. There was no doubt that Fang Xiaoluo had him in her heart.
Early the next morning, Fang Xiaoluo went out again.
She went to buy wool and came back to knit a sweater for Shen Haiping.
It was the same red sweater as Shen Haifeng and Shen Jinxia, of course, for Shen Haiping's birthday.
She treated every child equally. If one child had it, the other two children must also have it.
On Shen Haiping's birthday, he received the same red sweater with a little boy pattern, as well as a big cake and candles belonging to him. He was very happy.
When Shen Haifeng and Shen Jinxia celebrated their birthdays, they both received sweaters knitted by Fang Xiaoluo. Shen Haiping knew that he would get one too.
The three children are still looking forward to what Fang Xiaoluo will give them on their next birthday.
Fang Xiaoluo is also quite busy. After getting her driver's license, in addition to taking care of the family, she also has to go to the fields to take a look.
The land rented in Liulin Village has sprouted wheat and corn has been planted.
In Honghe Village, the local people who did not build a greenhouse for the Fang family also asked Fang Xiaoluo to plant corn.
Other people's farming is still done by their own family members, but now, at Fang Xiaoluo's request, the Fang family has hired workers to do the work quickly and well, saving themselves effort.
Early on Sunday morning, Fang Xiaoluo sent Shen Jinxia to dance class, and went to the department store to buy a new men's watch, and then bought two pieces of cloth, buttons and other things.
When Shen Jinxia's class was over, she picked up Shen Jinxia and went to Honghe Village.
On the way, Shen Jinxia asked Fang Xiaoluo, "Mom, why did you buy so much cloth?"
Fang Xiaoluo said, "Your father's birthday is coming up in a few days, and I want to make him a set of clothes."
"Oh, I understand, so going to grandma's house today means not to let Dad know in advance, is that right?" Shen Jinxia asked.
"Yes, that's what I mean, so you have to keep it a secret for mom, okay?"
"Okay, I promise not to tell you anything." Shen Jinxia said solemnly, "I will keep it a secret for mom."
After getting off the car at Honghe Village, many villagers came to greet Fang Xiaoluo when they saw her.
After arriving at Fang's house, Fang Xiaoluo saw that Zhang Xinyan and Fang Yating were at home.
"It's the weekend today, where are all the people?"
Shen Jinxia ran to play with Fang Yating, and Zhang Xinyan said, "Your dad, your eldest brother, and Yamei are in the field. Isn't Xiaojie going to take the college entrance examination in July? He hasn't come back on weekends recently. He has been studying at school. He said that going back and forth is a waste of time."
"Indeed, there are still two months left, so we have to seize the time." Fang Xiaoluo said as he carried the two pieces of cloth into the house.
Zhang Xinyan looked at it and asked, "You got the cloth to make clothes?"
"Well, Shen Zheng's birthday is in a few days, and I have to make him a new set of clothes myself." Fang Xiaoluo said, "It was his birthday before we got married last year. This is the first birthday I've celebrated for him since we got married. It's a good thing he should be able to be at home this year."
The two chatted for a while, while there was a lot of noise and chaos outside.
Fang Xiaoluo looked outside. "What are they arguing about?"
Zhang Xinyan said. "Didn't it happen at the beginning of spring this year? People like Liang Cuicui and Auntie Wu next door almost stopped farming and started to build greenhouses. In the village, some families also wanted to build greenhouses, but they had no money, and they didn't want to go to the bank to borrow money as you said, so they just farmed normally."
"There are also some families, like Wang Hongfang's family. They think that they have a problem with their brains to build greenhouses when they can farm in the spring. They can just save money, but they have to borrow money to spend. What are they saying? The crops grown in the plastic shed are no different from those grown outside. It's a waste of money."
"When people with different ideas argue with each other, it's easy to get into a quarrel, especially Wang Hongfang's family. They don't want to rob the greenhouse themselves, and they don't want others to rob it."
