Chapter 182: How fast she changes her expression
Shen Xiaobin entered the room nervously. Wang Guizhi had already started chatting with Shen Meng. Lu Qinlan and Su Xiaomei also sat beside her. The two sisters-in-law asked about Shen Meng and the children's well-being.
"Xiaolong, come here. Your aunt and uncle are here. Hurry up and say hello. You will be learning carpentry soon, so you will have to trouble your aunt and uncle then."
Xiaolong was very shy, with two blushes on his face. He walked to the side of Shen Meng. It was not that he was afraid of people, but his previous impression of Shen Meng was too deeply rooted, so he didn't know how to get close to her. As for Lu Zhenping, he admired him but was a little afraid. His uncle was not an ordinary person, he had been on the battlefield, and all the friends in the village envied him for having such a powerful uncle.
"Aunt, hello, uncle."
"Xiaolong, you will go to your master's house after this month. If you miss home, tell your master and his wife, and they will let you come back. If you are not busy in Lujia Village, come to your aunt's house and I will make you delicious food, okay?"
"Oh, thank you, aunt." After Xiaolong finished speaking, he looked at Lu Zhenping with hope, hoping to get a few words of advice.
Lu Zhenping looked at Xiaolong, who was the same age as him, and thought in his heart that when he went to the army, Shen Meng would also go to the county to work. When he was free, he could come home to help take care of Mingkai.
"Xiaolong, you are a grown-up now. Carpentry is a craft. Once you learn it, you will earn a living for your master. Generally, apart from teaching your own children, few people pass on their skills to others. Your master is willing to take you in because your aunt has made a lot of efforts. It is not just as simple as giving you some gifts. Your aunt saved the lives of your master's wife and your younger sister, both of whom are mother and daughter. That is why your master is willing to accept you. You will be well treated by your master. Learn, work hard, ask boldly if you don't understand, don't be shy, don't be afraid, if your master is strict with you, it proves that he wants to teach you well, if he is not strict, that will harm you, when you are not busy, you should take care of your brothers and sisters at home more, be more diligent, understand? "
Shen Meng: "........"
The last sentence is so crucial, so important, and so shameless!!!
Lu Qinlan, Shen Shoutian, Wang Guizhi, Shen Fugui and others were moved when they heard Lu Zhenping say this. Only a family would give such careful instructions, which also shows that Lu Zhenping really treats Xiaolong as his own child, so he would say this, otherwise if it was someone else's uncle, it would be good if he didn't criticize you.
Xiaolong was so excited that his face was dark red and his lips were trembling.
"Thank you, uncle. I understand. I will work hard and study hard. When the time comes, I will go to play with my brothers and sisters. When I am free, I will definitely not just play around. I will study hard. Ask boldly." "Good
boy."
Lu Zhenping praised Xiaolong with this, which made Xiaolong very happy. When he left, he was shaking his hands and feet. Shen Meng was embarrassed for a moment. He didn't know how to describe his feelings at the moment. He felt that his nephew was a big fool.
Lu Qinlan and Su Xiaomei greeted Shen Meng for a while and then hurried to prepare lunch. Wang Guizhi wanted to go over to help, but the two daughters-in-law said that when the sister-in-law came to visit relatives, they had to let the mother and daughter talk properly. There was no reason for the mother-in-law to come to help with cooking.
Shen Meng and Wang Guizhi were chatting. When Shen Xiaobin was engaged before the New Year, the family spent a lot of money. Although the bicycle and watch were paid by Shen Meng, the family still gave her some money. Wang Guizhi also recorded the money she spent on the Shen family in the notebook. Although it was all circles of flowers, she remembered it clearly.
The Shen family moved to a bigger house and bought a bicycle, but they had their own principles. They always treated her as a married woman, worried that she would not live well, worried that Lu Zhenping would have opinions, and worried that she would have conflicts with her parents-in-law. She accepted the help she gave, but she kept it in mind. Shen Meng knew that if the Shen family had the ability, they would definitely pay back the money, and even more.
Some of the money that was divided during the Chinese New Year was used when Lao Hong got engaged. No, I'm afraid a lot of it was used for food.
Shen Meng looked at the people talking and laughing in the house, the children playing in the yard, and the busy figures in the kitchen. They were poor, or too poor. She was thinking about things in her heart.
Uncle Guai and Shen Fugui were chatting animatedly. If Shen Xiaobin hadn't walked up to them and poured them a glass of water, interrupting them, they would have already talked about what the name of Shen Xiaobin and Lu Xiangxiang's baby would be.
After chatting for a while, Shen Meng took out the gifts she brought. Uncle Guai was not an outsider, so there was no need to hide them. She took them out one by one.
"I bought maltose, milk powder for the elderly, cakes, rock sugar, brown sugar and red dates for my eldest and second sisters-in-law, and two bottles of wine. This stewed egg with sugar is good for women. There are also two silk scarves, two pieces of scrap cloth, a pen scarf for Xiaobin, hats and gloves for my eldest and second brothers, and snacks and hair ornaments for the children. Please share them among them, mom. Oh, and the most important thing is this: New Year's money for the children, one cent each."
Shen Shoutian and Shen Yutian watched Shen Meng taking things out. They felt that their sister's bag was like a treasure bag, as if they could never take out all the things.
"Oh my God, you little girl, why did you buy so many things for us? You always do this. If you do this again next time, I won't let you in."
"Little sister, look at the big-toed cotton shoes on my feet. I just put them on. And you bought me a hat and scarf. They are all expensive things. How much money must it cost? The house is so poor now..."
"Ahem... Yutian, look at this hat your sister bought for you. It's made of fur, right? It's so soft to the touch. These gloves are so thick and convenient to wear when working. Xiao Meng is so caring."
Shen Shoutian didn't want to say anything bad about Shen Meng. It's just that the famine at home was making it hard for people to breathe. He himself didn't have much ability. Year after year, he relied on the few work points from the fields. Seeing his sister taking so many things, he felt distressed. Even if he had money, he couldn't spend it like that. His sister had four children at home. There would be many places to spend money in the future. He just wanted his sister to think more about the future.
Wang Guizhi still used the same old tricks, afraid that Lu Zhenping would have an opinion. Her son-in-law had been good enough to the Shen family. If he always asked for money from the young couple, he would get annoyed one day, and then she, the daughter of the family, would be bullied. She didn't want to see that day.
"Mom, second brother, these were bought by Xiaomeng and I. It's a good thing that she is thinking about you. It's better than some people going back to their parents' home to beg for money and food. You take them. Only when you live a good life can she feel at ease." As
expected, as soon as Lu Zhenping spoke, Wang Guizhi immediately stopped talking and had a smile on her face. Although Shen Meng knew that she was kind, it was still very shocking that the old lady changed her face so quickly.
