Shen Jiaojiao opened it curiously.

Inside were piles of neatly bundled things.

Estimated number, tens of thousands.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

Mother Shen said, "We didn't make it to your wedding, and we didn't have time to buy you a trousseau. We really wronged you. This money was originally prepared for your wedding, and it contains the love of our entire family.

Your grandparents gave 5,000, your father and I gave 5,000, and your three brothers each gave 1,000. The total is 13,000 yuan."

Mother Shen added earnestly, "Originally I didn't dare to give you this money, for fear that you would be cheated, but now you have grown up and become sensible, you are already a little adult, these things belong to you, you can use them as you wish.

Although life in the countryside is hard, you won't be too poor if you have money.

Don't be frugal on food and clothing. Our family is not yet at the point where you need to live frugally.

But now you are no longer the little girl of the Shen family, but the daughter-in-law of the Xu family. As a daughter-in-law, you cannot do things as you please. You still need to be sensible to avoid being gossiped about and bringing discredit to your husband's family.

You can't just take advantage of your mother-in-law's love for you and act recklessly.

I'm sure your second brother has also reminded you that everything will be fine when you return to the city in a year or two.

Even though you are married, you will always be the precious daughter of our Shen family, and you will always have a place in the family.

Go home more often and always remember that your loved ones are thinking of you."

After hearing these words, Shen Jiaojiao burst into tears.

She had never experienced what it was like to say goodbye to her family on her wedding day.

She once thought she was strong enough not to cry.

However, no matter how strong a person is, he will be vulnerable in front of his loved ones.

At this moment, Shen Jiaojiao burst into tears.

Mother Shen stroked Shen Jiaojiao's little head and sighed, "I regret that I couldn't personally send you off to get married."

Shen Jiaojiao sniffed and said, "Then when I get married next time, I will definitely let you marry me off in a grand manner."

Mother Shen: “…”

Xu Mo who came in from outside: "..." Is he about to be abandoned?

Mother Shen also saw Xu Mo and quickly patted the silly girl in front of her, "What nonsense are you talking about? How can you get married a second time? Do you want to start a mess and give up in the end?"

Shen Jiaojiao also saw Xu Mo, and reacted, explaining, "Oh, you misunderstood. I meant that when Xu Mo and I get our marriage certificate, we will have another wedding."

Mother Shen breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Mo also breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, I didn't abandon him.

Otherwise he wouldn't know who to cry to.

Xu Mo walked in with a plate of sliced ​​watermelon in his hand.

"Mom, this watermelon was just picked out of the well. It's delicious. Try it."

He took one piece and gave it to Mother Shen, and took another piece and gave it to Shen Jiaojiao.

When the weather is hottest, the well water is very cold.

If you put a watermelon in well water and chill it for a day, the cooling effect will not be inferior to that of a refrigerator.

Taking a bite of icy cool watermelon is so comfortable in the hot and dull summer.

Mother Shen took a bite of the watermelon, looked at Xu Mo and asked, "Where are your grandpa and the others?"

"They went to the thatched hut at the back to rest."

Originally, the three members of the Shen family were going to stay in the guesthouse.

But since arriving at the Xu family, no one wants to go back.

Although there were no extra rooms in the house, Grandpa Shen and Father Shen would rather squeeze into the thatched hut in the back to sleep than go back.

So the two gentlemen slept in the thatched hut.

Mother Shen and Shen Jiaojiao went to sleep in Liu Xiaolan's room.

Xu Mo slept with Xu's father.

Although it was a bit crowded, everyone felt particularly comfortable.

In fact, as long as a family lives together, they are happy no matter how difficult the conditions are.

After eating the watermelon, Mother Shen took some cotton clothes and nutritional supplements and went to Liu Xiaolan's room.

Shen Jiaojiao also took out a set of cotton clothes and underwear and prepared to give them to Li Ermei.

Also bring snacks for the kids.

When they arrived at the second room, the three boys were lying on the kang after washing their feet.

Li Ermei was sitting on the kang doing needlework.

It seemed that she was used to the noise of the children, so she could concentrate on her work.

Xu Fugui was weaving a backpack on a small bench in the middle of the room.

This kind of backpack woven with bamboo strips can be exchanged for money at the supply and marketing cooperative.

Since Xu Fugui divided his family property, he has been relying on this craft to earn a living. Although he doesn't earn much, it's enough to feed his wife and children.

"Auntie, you came to play with me again?"

Sanjin was the first to see Shen Jiaojiao, jumping happily on the kang.

Shen Jiaojiao walked over and handed them the bag of snacks in her hand.

"These are to be shared among the three of you brothers. You are responsible for distributing the three pounds."

"Thank you, Auntie. You are the best."

Sanjin thanked them happily, took the snacks, and carefully shared them with the other two brothers.

No one has more and no one has less, three pounds is the most fair.

Li Ermei said helplessly, "You will ruin their habits if you do this."

"My mother bought this for the kids. It's okay to have it once in a while."

Shen Jiaojiao put the cotton coat and underwear in Li Ermei's hands.

"My mom also brought this. All the ladies in the family have one. See if you can wear it. If it doesn't fit, we can alter it. It's not a big deal."

Li Ermei was shocked when she saw the thick cotton coat and the underwear made of fine material in her hands.

"This is too expensive."

"It's not worth much, just keep it. If you don't accept it, it would be really alienating to me.

My mother worked so hard to get it from far away. If you don’t accept it, you can’t let her take it back to Beijing!”

Since Shen Jiaojiao said so, Li Ermei couldn't refuse.

She didn't hesitate and accepted it.

"Thank you so much, Jiaojiao! If you need me in the future, just tell me. Don't be polite."

Shen Jiaojiao smiled and nodded.

She looked at the trousers that Li Ermei was mending and asked, "Are you making trousers, sister-in-law?"

"Yeah! These three rascals in my family have the worst pants. Look, Erjin ruined another pair for me today.

I pieced together and cut some waste fabrics and some damaged clothes to make him a pair of pants.

School is about to start, it would be embarrassing to be without pants."

There was not much fabric at home and it was expensive to buy, so she could only piece together a pair of trousers with some scraps of cloth.

Shen Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Boys are tough, and their pants and shoes are the least durable."

"That's right! Having too many children is a real worry!"

"Haha, this is called suffering before happiness. When these three children grow up, you can enjoy happiness! To be honest, I envy you for having three such well-behaved children."

Li Ermei did not deny it this time.

Indeed!

Although raising three boys is very stressful, I also enjoy it. After all, they are all my flesh and blood. I raise them from childhood until they can walk and run, and call me mom. That process is the happiest.

Without children to look after, life would seem meaningless and meaningless.

Li Ermei suddenly stared at Shen Jiaojiao with a teasing look in her eyes.

"When are you going to have a baby?"
