Chapter 180: Cooking Hot Red Wine
On the way back, Xie Jinghao looked at Shen Meng with hesitation, she couldn't understand why Wu Xianglan was so nice to her second sister-in-law when she used to bully her and her children.
It was just cleaning, and it was almost twenty yuan a month. It was so much money, so she should not give it to a dog.
"Just say whatever you want to say, why are you always secretly watching me?"
"Sister-in-law, why are you so nice to the second sister-in-law now? Why give her such a good job? I think Sister-in-law Qinlan is better than her."
Shen Meng looked at her and stretched out his hand to pinch Xie Jinghao's face.
"You ate the wrong food. It's not that sister-in-law doesn't miss you. Xiaoni is still young and
can't be away from people. Otherwise, I would have thought of a way to find you a job." Xie Jinghao waved her hands repeatedly. She didn't want to go. People in the county were not so easy to get along with. They all raised their chins high and could choke people to death when they talked. She followed her sister-in-law to the supply and marketing cooperative and the state-owned hotel. None of the people she met was good. They liked to roll their eyes when they talked. She didn't dare to think about how she would live if she was in such an atmosphere every day.
To live, you have to be in a familiar place, take care of your man and children, have three meals a day and four seasons, and be down-to-earth.
Shen Meng knew Xie Jinghao, so she naturally understood her meaning and thoughts. Xie Jinghao could see the problems, but Wu Xianglan couldn't.
Where is the textile factory? Except for those who are formally assigned to it, it can be entered. Isn't it because there are connections, big and small? A rural woman suddenly entered such a good unit, so people can't ask about it.
"Jinghao, my sister-in-law knows what you are thinking. I have never been one to retaliate with kindness. Making money is really profitable, but the taste is not so pleasant. Wu Xianglan will just go. It's okay."
"Sister-in-law, it's not that I said bad things about her, she is not a person who knows kindness. Now she is crying and saying it nicely. When she finds a bigger supporter, do you think she will still pay attention to you?"
Shen Meng smiled and said nothing. She didn't want Wu Xianglan to do anything important in the first place, so there was no talk of a future with her.
"Okay, let's not talk about her anymore. Let's go home quickly. Xifeng said she would come to play with me after New Year's greetings. Let's go home and see that our little girl is sleepy."
"Hey!"
Xie Jinghao didn't persuade her anymore. No matter how she persuaded, it was useless. Shen Meng has always been a person with his own ideas.
In the main room, Shen Meng opened the valve of the coal stove a little wider, and the fire was a little big. The aluminum pot on the coal stove was bubbling and burning vigorously, and the aroma of mulled wine gradually filled the room.
Shen Meng put apple cubes and cloves, hawthorn, honey, oranges, cinnamon and blueberries, and she slowly stirred with a spoon.
"Hey, what is this little black fruit? It tastes sweet and sour, and it has a very nice flavor."
"It's called blueberry. I've seen it in old newspapers. I happened to go out two days ago and saw some on the roadside, so I picked them all. This wine is made by myself in the fall. I heard that adding fruits to it and drinking it in the winter is very good for our women's bodies. You guys should all try it."
Shen Meng said shamelessly. The wine is good. She got it from the space, and the wholesale price of a bottle is more than 500.
She also took melon seeds, peach cakes, peanuts, stacked candies and honeydew melons, and various snacks were placed on the table.
Snow was falling outside, and there were laughter and joy in the house. They were cooking wine around the stove, and they were so happy.
Shen Meng felt particularly relaxed at this moment. In her previous life, she was either flying around or working overtime on PPT with a black card.
There was no time for her to relax, let alone get together with friends. If it weren't for the relatives who visited her every month, she would have almost forgotten that she was a woman.
"Oh, smell it, smell it and see if
it smells good. This little taste is really thanks to Xiao Meng. Without her, we wouldn't have this experience." "Yes, I've lived in the countryside all my life and I've never seen such wine, and it's a wine that can be cooked and drunk. It's a pity to waste so many fruits. Don't throw them away. I'll eat them later!"
"Eat if you want. No one is stopping you."
…………
Shen Meng looked at the women talking around the table and laughed. Sister Lianhua, Xifeng, Yu Shirley, Xie Jinghao, and Lu Xiangxiang just came over to play. A group of women chattered and spoke in dialect, and occasionally mixed in a few words like "good boy" and "
damn it". But Shen Meng just felt that they were so cute.
"I have good news. I found a job for Shirley in the city, moving things and burning stoves. It's a bit heavy, but it pays more than 18 yuan a month, and there are tickets and benefits. In the future, the three of them will finally have an easier life."
"Oh, such a good thing. Congratulations, Daya Niang. You said that after your divorce, good things have happened one after another. You are so happy!"
"I really envy you. Your life was hard in the past, but now you have finally gotten what you deserved. Find a good man in two years and your life will get better and better."
Seeing everyone say this, Yu Shirley felt even warmer in her heart. She wanted to say something, but what about these people? Even Xie Jinghao and Lu Xiangxiang didn't have a share, but she had such a good job. If they got angry and had opinions in their hearts, wouldn't it make it difficult for Shen Meng?
As a result, they were all really kind to her and said such heartfelt words.
"Thank you, thank you all very much. I used to be like a hedgehog to everyone I met, and I didn't know how to talk to them. Thank you all for not minding and helping me so much. My current life is given by you all, and the most important is Xiao Meng. How can I deserve your help?"
Shen Meng's eyes have been on Wang Lianhua since she finished talking about work. She originally wanted to chat happily with the sisters, but she didn't expect that after Wang Lianhua took off her scarf, several purple bruises on her neck were exposed. The room was so hot, but she kept pulling the sweater under her cotton jacket from time to time. She refused to take off her jacket when she was asked to, and it turned out that she was beaten again.
"Shirley, I'm not helping you, I'm helping fellow women who are being bullied."
Wang Lianhua was stunned when she heard this, and then she pretended to be calm. Seeing that she didn't mention it, Shen Meng didn't ask. In this kind of matter, it's not easy to buy and sell.
If Yu Shirley hadn't worked hard, she wouldn't have reached out to help her. Everyone has their own destiny, and you can't force it.
After the mulled wine was ready, Shen Meng served everyone a bowl. She also left a small cup for Mingfang and a few children, ready for them to take a sip.
Wang Lianhua felt bitter. She saw Shen Meng's eyes and knew in her heart that he was pointing at her. Divorce is not so easy, and she has never thought about it. Anyway, it's over anyway, and she can just endure it for the sake of the children.
It was almost noon, and everyone was helping to pack up and go back to cook.
Shen Meng called out and took out a few cans from the cupboard.
"This is the red... wine that has been distributed to you. It can be used to stew eggs, dispel cold and warm the uterus. It is the best way to nourish the body. When you feel unwell later, a meal of this will be better than anything else."
Everyone ate and took things. Although they felt embarrassed, they were still happy to carry their things and left.
After leaving the door, Xifeng, who was walking at the end, grabbed Yu Shirley and approached her and said, "What's going on with your job? Tell me more about it!"
