Chapter 46 Du's Thoughts

While pressing water, Shen Ruoqing couldn't help but look towards Mu Bai.

The boy's upright posture and the way he seriously presses the water seem quite pleasing to the eye.

"Mu Zhiqing, try this cucumber. My family grows it ourselves, and it's especially juicy." Shen Ruoqing handed over a cucumber in her hand. The cucumber was emerald green and looked very delicious.

"What are you standing there for? Come and eat, it's delicious." Shen Ruoqing found it a little funny. She felt that Mu Zhiqing was a little silly.

"Thank you." Mu Bai took a bite and it was just as refreshing as he had imagined. It seemed even better than the cucumbers he had eaten before.

"You've been tired all day, haven't you? You've never done such heavy farm work before, right?" Shen Ruoqing was still smiling.

"It's not hard. Labor is the most glorious." Mu Bai showed his white teeth. No one knew how he brushed his teeth to make them so white.

Soon, Mu Bai filled the bucket with water.

"Mu Zhiqing, let me pack some vegetables for you to take back. I think your Zhiqing camp hasn't started growing vegetables yet. I'll pack some vegetables for you to eat with your meal when you go back."

"Thank you very much, Comrade Shen." Mu Bai said.

Shen Ruoqing filled a basket with vegetables for him.

"I'll return the basket to you next time."

Mu Bai walked away carrying the water.

"Sister-in-law, that was the new educated youth just now, he's so handsome." Mrs. Du, who was cooking, poked her head out, thinking that it would be great if her baby would be as handsome as him in the future.

When Mu Bai brought back a basket of vegetables, Ma Weiguang teased, "Our Mu Zhiqing is still very charming. He can get a basket of vegetables after going out. Could it be a gift from some little girl?"

Mu Bai frowned: "It was sent by the Shen family. They said they were sending it to our entire educated youth site. Some of the food can't stop your mouth."

"This dish is so juicy, you can tell at first glance that it was prepared with great care." said Qian Damei.

"We can grow vegetables well and they are so lush, but we have to water them a lot. Not to mention it's tiring. Captain Tang also said that we can't use too much water. The water level in the big well in the village has dropped a lot." Ding Zhongjiang said.

"Then let's just plant half of it. We can't eat that much anyway."

With the vegetables sent by Shen Ruoqing, the educated youth camp added two more dishes for dinner. Even so, the dinner was eaten up.

Let’s talk about Shen Ruoqing.

"I thought my sister-in-law's loose-handedness had changed, but she's still the same as before." Wang said sourly, "What does that educated youth have to do with us? We just gave him a big basket of vegetables for free. Our vegetables can be sold, but we just gave them away for free."

The family has sold vegetables several times. Although Grandma Ji only gives one or two cents each time, the money from the sales eventually belongs to the family.

"Second sister-in-law, the dishes at home are prepared by the eldest and third sisters-in-law. The eldest and second sisters-in-law haven't said anything, but you are dissatisfied." Shen Ruoqing looked at Wang with a smile. Wang was the kind of person who loved to take advantage and was a little selfish, but she didn't make any big mistakes. It was just that every time she jumped out, it made her very unhappy.

"Then don't eat any vegetables tomorrow, just eat steamed buns. Save your share and sell it for money. You don't work all day but keep talking nonsense." Old Mrs. Ji glared at Wang. This time, Wang didn't know where she got the courage from, but she dared to talk back.

"Mom, that's not what I meant. I heard from others that the educated youth from outside are cunning and cunning. I'm afraid my sister-in-law will be deceived by them. I heard that the educated youth from outside are not as good-looking as the skinny ones in our village, but they can't carry anything with their shoulders or hands."

Skinny Monkey is the nickname of a man in the village. Few people call him by his real name because he has little strength and is very thin and small. He gets the same work points as a child, and people in the village often make fun of him.

Old Mrs. Ji's gaze fell on Shen Ruoqing.

"Mom, what are you thinking? I just thought it was not easy for the educated youth who had just arrived here, so I thought I could help them as much as I could, so I sent them some vegetables. There was nothing else. I was still young."

"Second brother, my sweetheart is still young. You are not allowed to talk about such things in the future. If people hear it, who knows what they will think. It's because my sweetheart is kind-hearted. You don't have to eat any vegetables for the next two days." said Old Mrs. Ji.

Wang opened her mouth but ultimately said nothing.

"Mom, why don't we stop letting Erya and Sanya go to school after this semester?" Mrs. Du suddenly said this.

"Why, Mom?" Shen Xue shouted. Although she was not very smart, she was diligent in her studies and her grades were pretty good. She used to think that it didn't matter whether she studied or not, but her aunt told her that studying makes people wise. For people like them, studying is the quickest way to climb up. The aunt said a lot more, but Shen Xue didn't remember much of it. But she knew that studying was her only way out.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Mrs. Du lowered her head and dared not look at Shen Xue. She just whispered, "San Ya, it's useless for a girl to read so many books. She will get married in the future. If you study hard, there will be no one to do the housework. There will be fewer people earning a cent."

Shen Ruoqing was really angry. What kind of feudal dregs is this? She thought that Wang, who was selfish, would be fine, but she didn't expect that the seemingly honest Du was the one with a hole in her brain. Others were fighting for their own children, but she came to ruin her daughter's future.

"My third sister-in-law said that it's useless for girls to study? Should I also stop studying and work at home to earn cents for the family?"

Mrs. Du felt someone staring at her with cold eyes, and shuddered. She quickly said, "Of course you are different, sister-in-law. You have four brothers. Besides, you have such good grades, so you will definitely be a worker after you graduate. Erya and Sanya are different. They are destined to be like this. They won't be able to achieve anything great after studying..."

"Wife, what are you talking about? In my heart, men and women are the same. Erya and Sanya are also my children." Shen Xiangxi said hurriedly, "Mom, don't listen to what my wife says. I don't mean that."

Old Lady Ji looked at Mrs. Du with sharp eyes: "You don't have the final say in the family's decisions. I have agreed to let them go to school. Do you want me to make my words count?"

"Mom, I didn't mean that. I just wanted to lighten the burden on the family. Now my second sister-in-law has an extra person. I only work half a day every day. I'm pregnant with a baby, so I'll have to spend more money in the future. If Erya and Sanya don't go to school, they can help my second sister-in-law take care of the children, and the housework can be easier."

"Shen Yun and Shen Xue, tell me, do you really want to go to school?" Shen Ruoqing simply called the two children to his side.

"Mom, I can learn a lot of knowledge in school. The teacher said that all this knowledge will be useful in the future and can serve the motherland. Mom, I want to study. And the teacher said that my grades have improved this semester, and I can also do well in the exam." Shen Xue said.
