Chapter 135: Where does the money come from?
Some of them have followed the army, some have visited relatives, and some have participated in several such comrade-in-arms gatherings. They are often laughed at, or their words, work, eating, and even drinking water can be criticized.
If their men are able to do their best and support them, they will still want them. Some of them even abandon them when they go home. This really makes them feel aggrieved. They have worked hard for so many years, but they don’t know why. However, Shen Meng spoke out their inner thoughts.
These are what they wanted to say before but didn’t know how to say them.
"Sister, what you said is very good. I've wanted to say it before, but I didn't know how to say it."
"Me too, me too. I used to come here and attend gatherings with my old man. What did they say about me? Oh, they said I smack my lips when I eat, drink water like an old cow, and can't even drink wine. They also said I burp and fart. You guys tell me about this. Who doesn't burp and fart? She is a god."
"Hahahaha, ouch, come on, stop saying such rude words, or you'll get scolded again later."
"Hehehe, I just want to express my meaning. Captain Lu has a good eye. I really like you, Xiao Meng."
.......
Everyone started talking at once. The group of highly educated people next to Qin Hao's wife blushed a little, because they did think so before. Shen Meng's words slapped them in the face in the hearts of several people.
After serving in the army for a few years, he forgot about his wife who worked so hard at home. If she hadn't taken such good care of them at home, how could they feel at ease serving in the army outside!
Several military wives looked at their men, saw the guilty and distressed look in their eyes, and felt even happier for Shen Meng.
Shen Pingping's face turned pale. She didn't expect that a country woman could talk so well and speak so eloquently. "Hiss~, what are you doing, brother? You're going to pinch my legs blue."
"Shen Pingping, I warn you, don't talk anymore. If you want to stay, just eat this meal honestly. If you don't want to stay, you'd better leave quickly and don't embarrass me again."
Shen Yi smiled and whispered in Shen Pingping's ear.
Shen Pingping also realized that Shen Meng was not someone to be trifled with, and since Lu Zhenping was obviously angry, she decided not to say anything. After all, there were so many people here, and even if Lu Zhenping wanted to help her, some things were inconvenient to say.
She had no choice but to shut up aggrievedly.
The look of resentment and anger made Lu Zhenping almost unable to eat. He turned his head to look at Shen Meng several times before he felt relieved.
Lu Mingkai ate a few dumplings, and then clumsily picked up one with chopsticks and fed it to Shen Meng, and was praised as a good boy again.
Shen Meng took a bite and thought it tasted good. He thought about buying a few more and taking them home for Mingyang and the other children to taste.
The Shit Troublemaker kept silent, and the whole dinner went much better. After the meal, everyone took their own food coupons and money and paid the bill together.
Shen Meng and Lu Zhenping were the last to leave. When most of the people had left, she turned back and asked the waiter for three servings of cabbage and pork dumplings.
"These dumplings are delicious. Buy some and bring them back so that Mingyang and the others can have a taste."
"Okay, by the way, Qin Hao just told me that the school boots I bought have arrived. He will help me deliver them to the supply and marketing cooperative later. Let's go home together later. Mingkai looks sleepy."
"Okay."
Qin Hao waited for him at the entrance of the alley outside the supply and marketing cooperative for a while. In addition to handing him a sack, he also gave him a bag and a circle of bills.
"Here, these are for you to help bring to Li Jun, Daniu and the others."
"Yeah!"
Qin Hao had met Shen Meng before, but he was not familiar with him. He didn't expect this guy to be so eloquent. He nudged Lu Zhenping with his elbow.
"Hey, I didn't expect your wife to be so talkative. Didn't you say before that she didn't go to school? Why do I think she knows more than those who have gone to school? Didn't you see how ugly those military wives who always speak in a pretentious manner looked when she said that?"
"Why didn't I see it? It's not like I wasn't there."
Qin Hao rolled his eyes at him.
"Tsk, what the hell did you see? Your eyes were almost glued to your wife. So many old comrades talked to you, but you seemed to be deaf and couldn't hear anything. Hey, but your wife is right. It's not easy to be a military wife. I feel sorry for my wife when I look at her. I have to go to my mother-in-law's house later. My wife loves the noodles she makes the most. I have to bother her."
"Go away, I get annoyed when I see you!"
Lu Zhenping couldn't stand others showing off his wife in front of him, after all, he hadn't started showing off yet!
Shen Meng bought three pairs of rain boots and three raincoats at the supply and marketing cooperative, as well as two bags of milk powder and four bottles of malted milk, and four boxes of peach cakes. The most abundant thing in this weather is apples and oranges, but even if it's such things, I think Li's sister-in-law and Daniu's wife would be reluctant to buy them.
The two people she named when she was in the state-owned hotel were them. She remembered them when Lu Zhenping came to both sides of the family during the New Year.
"Mom, we have these at home, we have these at home."
"Mom knows, these are bought for other brothers and sisters, not a waste of money, don't worry!"
After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, she bent down to pack things and took out a piece of dark blue corduroy fabric from the space. It was just enough for two families, half for each family, to make clothes.
"Why did you buy so many things?"
"Look, everything in this sack is for my two sisters-in-law, take it!"
Shen Meng looked at Lu Zhenping who was a little surprised, and said speechlessly: "When you were at home, you often talked about how Li Jun and Daniu's families had a hard time, especially Daniu's family, who had three children to support. After he was discharged from the army, his parents directly separated their family. I know that during the years when Mingyang and his family were supported, Li Jun and Daniu also sent money. I remember that everything here is in duplicate. You can see it. Here, I also spent thirty yuan to buy a piece of cloth, a full fifty meters. You can divide it between the two families. Li Jun's family has more people, so you can give two more meters. Deliver the things when it gets dark, and tell them to hide it, so as not to arouse the jealousy of others. "
When Lu Zhenping looked at Shen Meng, his eyes were shining. He was talking about the difficulties of Li Jun and Daniu's families, because most of the comrades-in-arms had jobs arranged by their families or the army, only Daniu was injured and retired, and Li Jun was still waiting for arrangements.
But he didn't expect Shen Meng to be so thoughtful and prepare so many things for him, buying all the food, clothing and daily necessities.
"Hey, wife, I'm sorry for spending money on you."
Shen Meng chuckled, stretched out his hand to pinch his ear, and leaned close to him and said: "It's not expensive, but I really want to know, you clearly said when you came home that you would give me all your money, may I ask what you used to buy such old officer boots and a big fleece scarf?"
Lu Zhenping: "......Uh!"
