Chapter 183: His fame is gone
The lunch was really rich, with meat, eggs and fish. Although it was commonplace in the Lu family, it was considered the ultimate luxury in the Shen family. In addition to these meals, Lu Qinlan and Su Xiaomei also made dumplings stuffed with pickled cabbage and pork. Each person had a big bowl with plenty of meat. Shen Meng did
n't say anything. The meal was a great pleasure for both the host and the guest. Uncle Guai's face turned red from drinking, but he didn't forget to go out and check on his cows, fearing that someone would bully his old man.
Shen Fugui wanted to persuade him to drink more, but Shen Meng glared at him. He put down his glass awkwardly and stuffed a dumpling into his mouth.
"Look, it's still the daughter of the emperor. Everyone in the family has said it thousands of times, but this stubborn old man still steals a sip from time to time. The daughter of the emperor didn't say a word, just glared at him, and quickly put it down. Humph!"
"Can you compare with my daughter of the
emperor? My daughter of the emperor does that for my own good. You are just afraid that I will spend money, so you want to cheat me!" "Hurry up and eat, you can't stop your mouth even if you eat."
While everyone was looking at Shen Fugui, Uncle Guai quickly sipped the last bit of wine in his glass.
"Tsk, it's so beautiful. Take another bite of the dumpling. Even a god would not change it. What my in-laws said is right. My daughter-in-law is the same. When it's hot or cold, she tells me to put on more clothes. She is also very well-behaved when she eats and does other things. Little housekeeper, don't complain about it after you get married, Xiaobin!"
"Uncle, my baby hasn't had time for her yet, how could she complain? Hehehe, how about another glass, uncle? I see that you like this very much. This was brought to my father by my sister when she came back last time. She usually doesn't want to drink it, so she specially saved it for my brother-in-law and you!"
"No, no, if I drink any more, I won't be able to catch the bus, and Xiangxiang will scold me when I get home."
Shen Xiaobin also breathed a sigh of relief. He was just testing it. If Uncle Guai still wanted to drink, he would not pour it out. He wanted to use Xiangxiang to convince him. Fortunately, he stopped there.
Shen Meng didn't say anything. She was eating happily. Lu Qinlan and Su Xiaomei were particularly generous with oil and salt when cooking today. The taste was much better, with a hint of farmhouse fun. The dumplings were also very fragrant.
After dinner, Shen Meng and Lu Zhenping didn't talk for long before they left. It was snowing that day, so it would be difficult to go back. Uncle Guai drank two cups of hot water and sobered up. After feeding the cows and letting them rest for a while, he began to move the children onto the ox cart. He also told Xiaolong to pack up his things and go to Lujia Village next month.
After returning home, Shen Meng carried Mingkai into the house. The other three children had slept enough on the way, so they ran out to play happily after arriving home. Lu Mingkai also wanted to go, but Shen Meng did not let him. The child also fell asleep due to the shaking on the way back. Halfway through the journey, he insisted on getting off the car to pee, but he did not have time to take off his pants, and his urine soaked half of his legs. The north wind was howling, and he was frozen as he grabbed his little bird and shivered with the cold. Facing the pairs of eyes staring at him, he cried miserably.
Shen Meng had no choice but to take off his wet cotton pants and let him get into bed with his legs bare, while she held the little boy in her arms.
Lu Mingkai's face turned red from crying. When the ox cart started, he looked up and saw that Uncle Guai had got a branch from somewhere and used it to fork his cotton pants and stick it in the front of the ox cart. Although Lu Mingkai was young, he was very smart. He knew that his reputation was going to be ruined. When the ox cart entered Lujia Village, everyone he met would know it.
The news that Lu Zhenping and Shen Meng's youngest son, Lu Mingkai, had wet his pants would spread to every corner of Lujia Village.
Just thinking about it, he felt so sad that he started crying again. He kept crying and hiccuping. Shen Meng was afraid that he would pout several times.
Lu Mingliang was a boy who was very good at comforting people. He pinched his brother's little butt in the quilt.
"Brother, are you cold with your butt exposed? I'll warm it for you."
"Wow~!!!"
"You're still crying. I don't mind the smell on your butt, but you still feel wronged."
Mingyang pinched Lu Mingliang's ear and came up to him and said, "Speak softly. Mingkai is sorry. When you get home, don't tell others that Mingkai wet his pants, otherwise he will become a crybaby."
"Wow~, I hate my eldest brother, I hate my second brother, wuwuwu, mom, they are making fun of me~."
Mingfang reached out and patted his head across Shen Meng.
"No, no, don't listen to your brothers' nonsense. No one will know that you wet your pants. I won't let them tell anyone. Be good and don't cry. Wetting your pants is embarrassing enough, and now your eyes are swollen from crying. It's ugly."
Lu Mingkai, who had been almost coaxed into crying, cried even louder. Shen Meng was afraid that he would drink in the cold wind with his mouth open, so she pulled the quilt to cover him up. Who knew that the child curled up directly into the quilt, hiding his whole body inside the quilt, and everyone outside the quilt could see him twitching.
On the kang, Shen Meng filled some warm water to clean his butt and legs, washed his little feet, and changed him into clean cotton trousers and socks. The little guy finally felt alive. He struggled to go downstairs to find his brothers and sisters, but he was worried that they would tell others about his embarrassing story.
Shen Meng stopped him, and after the water splashed out, she looked at her son who was pouting on the kang.
"It's cold outside, and you've been crying all the way. If you go out again, don't catch a cold. If you get a stuffy nose, you'll be very uncomfortable!"
The little guy's eyes lit up when he heard it.
"Then let the second brother catch a cold and let his nose get stuffy. The second brother is a bad guy."
Shen Meng: "........"
He still holds a grudge!!!
"Stay at home, I'll make you some sugar water."
She was afraid that Mingkai would really feel uncomfortable, so she took precautions. She made some Isatis root and gave it to him. Unexpectedly, the boy liked it very much. He asked for a cup and wanted a second cup. Shen Meng glared at him and then he stopped.
Lu Zhenping was panting in the yard washing his son's wet cotton pants. Just as he hung them on the rope, the gate was knocked. Lu Jiaxuan looked at his elder brother, hesitated for a moment, and walked into the yard.
"Brother, I, I want to borrow your bicycle. I'm going to take Jiaojiao back to my parents' home to visit relatives tomorrow. Your bicycle is new and will look much better when we get there."
Lu Zhenping looked at Lu Jiaxuan's depressed look. He used to think that this younger brother was very promising and sensible. He didn't know since the time of Shen Meng that he also paid attention to appearances and spoke in an official tone. This hair...hiss~, it seems to have been greased. No matter how you look at it now, it seems so frivolous!
