Chen Wu patted Manman's head: "Your father's words are called white lies."
Manman thought for a moment and asked, "What is a white lie?"
"I just didn't have any bad intentions. Look, your father said that, and it didn't affect anyone. We went home again. That's a white lie."
He nodded seriously.
Chen Wu didn't expect that after hearing this, Manman would be able to draw inferences about other situations and not tell her about the bad things he did outside, calling it a white lie.
But she obviously didn't know this at the moment.
When Lu Xuan came back, he bought a return ticket, stayed at home for another day, and then took the return bus.
The night before leaving, Chen Wu went to see Old Lady Feng and asked her to keep an eye on whether anyone in the village was talking about what was happening outside.
While he was speaking, he also placed two small pieces of cake.
Old Mrs. Feng agreed readily. After Chen Wu left, she gave the small cake to her husband and said, "Eat."
"It's so sweet, what grown man would eat this?"
Old Mrs. Feng said, "You always say that. I gave you half, but you ate it all."
The old man sitting next to him chuckled twice.
"Don't whine. It's just the two of us now. There's no need to leave any food for others. You're old and won't live long. Just eat whatever's delicious."
As he spoke, he picked up his portion of cake and saw two folded two-dollar bills underneath.
His eyes narrowed with laughter.
Chen Wu got on the train back home.
The next day, a package arrived at the Lu family.
The postman shouted inside: "Lu Cheng, there's your package!"
Lu Cheng was beaten black and blue by Lu Xuan and had been too embarrassed to see anyone for a while. He was very surprised to hear that there was a package for him.
But he still lowered his head and came out to take the things.
Old Mrs. Feng looked at it curiously.
Lu Cheng took it and hid aside.
Old Mrs. Feng laughed and said, "Old Five, be careful when you go out. You fell and got bruised. Your mother wants you to find a wife again."
"I don't have any advantages. All I have left is my face. I can't even protect it."
Lu Cheng felt a pang of pain when he heard what Old Lady Feng said, and he quickly went into the yard.
I stared at the package and saw that it came from Guangzhou. I felt a little strange, but I opened it anyway and saw some clothes inside.
There were also two pieces of paper with letters written on them.
Lu Cheng took a look at the letter and realized who sent it. His fingers were shaking with anger.
I stared at the address and memorized it in my mind.
She called out to the children, "Dabao, Erbao, Sanbao, Sibao, your mother has sent you new school bags."
For a moment, several of the treasures thought they had heard it wrong.
Even Lanlan thought she had misheard and wondered in her heart, could it be that the fifth brother had been beaten stupid by the third brother?
Will Long Yujiao send something?
Dabao didn't move.
Erbao had already run out with his younger brother and looked at his father: "Dad, did Mom send us anything?"
Seeing the things on the ground, Erbao jumped up without waiting for his father to answer: "Really!"
"Mom sent me a new schoolbag!"
"And new clothes!"
…
Lu Erbao picked up a new schoolbag and ran into the house holding it.
I ran into Lanlan who came to check what was going on.
Looking at the things in his hands and then at the things on the ground, she was surprised and said, "That heartless Long Yujiao actually sent something over here?"
Lu Cheng nodded slightly.
"Is there anything for me?"
As she spoke, Lan Lan had already started looking, but she didn't see anything suitable for her. She couldn't help but scold Long Yujiao for being an ungrateful person.
"I take care of her children every day, so I don't have anything?"
Lu Cheng didn't say anything.
Old Mrs. Feng, who was standing on a stool and leaning against the wall to watch the fun, laughed when she heard this: "She even remembered to buy clothes for Old Zhao! Tsk tsk, Lanlan, look at how you got away with it. She only brought Lu Xiaoniao, but you brought four."
Lanlan was very upset.
Erbao in the room was holding his schoolbag excitedly: "Brother, Mom really sent us something. This schoolbag looks new, and it's no worse than the one Lu Yuan brought."
Lu Dabao nodded.
Lu Erbao pulled him out. The first thing Lu Dabao saw was something, and the second thing he saw was his father holding two pieces of paper.
He walked over and said, "Dad, what did Mom say in the letter?"
Lu Chengdao: "Nothing."
Then he put the letter away.
The letter said that this thing was given to children who studied well, and there were only two sets.
Lu Cheng subconsciously wanted to do what was written in Long Yujiao's letter, but in a trance, he suddenly thought of Lu Xuan who was like a murderous devil that night.
After a moment of silence, he looked at Lu Dabao and said, "Share these things between you and your brother. Everyone will have some."
Lu Dabao took a look and saw two school bags, two pencil cases, and two sets of clothes. There were four brothers in total.
I took some pencil cases and schoolbags and gave them to Erbao. I asked Sanbao and Sibao to choose the rest. Sanbao chose Frog's pencil case and Sibao chose the schoolbag.
The two sets of clothes were not suitable in size. The top was too big, but the eldest child still took the top for himself and gave the second child a pair of pants. The other two children were divided in the same way.
Erbao was very happy: "Brother, mother remembers us."
Dabao was not very happy when he got the things, but when he saw his happy younger brothers, he smiled too.

Chen Wu felt that everyone lying in the car was almost exhausted, with sore backs and waists. Fortunately, they arrived in Guangzhou on the third night.
When she got home, Chen Wu felt like she didn't even have the strength to breathe.
The ones in the best spirits were Lu Xuan, Manman, and Xu Yin, while Chen Wu and Lu Ye were exhausted as dead dogs.
They looked like they couldn't stand each other.
Lu Ye panted and said, "Third sister-in-law, you are not as good as me. I also carried things."
Chen Wu said, "I am bent over by the weight of knowledge."
Lu Ye said: "My wife also has knowledge, and it was not crushed, right, my wife?"
Shen Wu stared at Xu Yin.
Xu Yin coughed lightly, feeling that she would be in trouble no matter who she spoke to, so she simply pretended to be too tired to hear and walked forward quickly.
Chen Wu said, "Look, her ears are deaf from being pressed down."
Xu Yin...
Lu Xuan went home and boiled some hot water, soaked her feet, and massaged them, so that Shen Wu had the energy to wash up.
Lu Xuan poured some water and brought it to Manman: "Wash your hands and face, soak your feet and go to sleep."
Manman stared at the basin in his hand: "Dad, this is my mother's foot basin."
He added, "My mother said it's unhygienic to wash your face and feet in the same basin."
Lu Xuan looked at it for two seconds and said, "Then soak your feet first. I'll get you some water."
At the Chen family next door, the old lady peeked out and said, "The people next door are back again."
"I can't sleep well since they came back." He tossed and turned in bed.
The old man who was turning over was also upset.
Chen Wu didn't know or care whether others slept soundly or not. She slept very soundly herself and slept until ten o'clock.
As soon as she woke up, she was ready to go to Teacher Chu's house to get the dog and Xiaoju over. Unexpectedly, she hadn't gone far when she was stopped by someone who came in.
