Chapter 208: Pretend not to know each other
After Shen Meng got home, he didn't even take a rest, but went straight to the old courtyard, waving the two candied haws in his hand and shaking them vigorously towards Yongqiang and Yongli.
"Yongqiang and Yongli, come here quickly and see what your auntie has brought you."
"It's candied haws, candied haws with rock sugar!"
"Auntie, is this really for us?"
Shen Meng looked at the two little brats with a smile, put the candied haws under her nose and sniffed it hard, "Oh, it smells so good and sweet. Your auntie remembered to bring you delicious food the day before she went to work, and now she hasn't come home yet. You two are still asking if it's for you. This hurts your auntie's heart so much!" When
Yongqiang and Yongli heard this, their faces were immediately filled with warm smiles, and they were jumping for joy before they even got the food in their hands.
"Thank you, auntie, you are so nice."
"Auntie, I wish you were my mother, so I could eat good food every day."
Shen Meng glanced at Yongqiang. This kid is just like his father. He can throw away everything for a stutter. Yongli is okay. After hearing her brother say this, she punched him.
Wu Xianglan, who came out of the room after hearing the noise, happened to hear what her son said. She was shocked. She worked hard and endured the disgust of lying with a man who was thinking about others every day, just to raise their two children. But she didn't know that her son actually wanted to recognize someone else as his mother just for a stutter.
"What are you talking about, you idiot boy? Auntie is only auntie. She has her own daughters and daughters, and she loves them. You have your own mother, and she loves you the most. Other people's mothers will love their own children first. Yongqiang, you are not afraid of hurting your mother's feelings by saying such things. You are too ignorant. If you say such things again in the future, auntie will not think of you when she has something good."
Yongqiang got the candied haws, so he naturally listened to everything. Yongli nodded heavily to Shen Meng.
"Auntie, I remember it. When I become successful in the future, I will treat my mother well and love her."
"Good child, remember your mother's kindness at all times."
Wu Xianglan listened to Shen Meng educating her children, and her heart was deeply moved. She coughed twice and hit her sleeves and trouser legs with her apron.
"Sister-in-law, why are you here? Did you just get off work?"
"Of course, I thought it was my first day at work, so I had to bring some delicious food for the children. The supply and marketing cooperative happened to have candied haws today, so I bought a few. I also have something to tell you, so I came here before I went home."
Wu Xianglan's eyebrows moved, knowing that it must be something about her work, and she quickly threw her apron towards the rope in the yard and walked in front of her.
Shen Meng gave each child one candied haws. Yongli took it and smiled at Shen Meng. After Yongqiang got it, he happily stuffed it into his mouth and started to chew it. When he looked at his mother, his expression was a little embarrassed. He didn't know if his mother heard what he said when he complimented his aunt just now.
"Sister-in-law, just tell me what you want to say."
"About work, I happened to meet the factory director's son, Comrade Hu Biao, today. I asked him about it and he told me to take you there tomorrow. Everything has been arranged there so you can work well. This job is not easy to come by. Although he is the factory director's son, the director and deputy director of the factory are all keeping an eye on you. If anything goes wrong, you might be caught."
Wu Xianglan was overjoyed. She covered her face with joy and tears of happiness flowed out.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, I've been waiting for your letter today. When I saw you and Shirley going to work in the morning, my heart was in turmoil. Sister-in-law, thank you for remembering me. It's all thanks to your thoughtful consideration. Otherwise, if I were to go to the textile factory alone, I wouldn't even dare to step into the door."
"Don't be afraid. It's just a coincidence. I don't know how my brother Xiaobin from my mother's family got to know the son of the director of the non-staple food factory. The two brothers are very good friends, and they helped Xiaobin get a job in the factory. If you have any problems, just go find Xiaobin!"
Wu Xianglan waved her hands hurriedly.
"No, no, you have to pretend that you don't know him. If the people in the factory find out and hold Comrade Hu Biao accountable, then they will catch us in trouble and think that you were all arranged by the factory director!"
Shen Meng looked at her in surprise, grabbed her hand and said, "Xianglan, I didn't react at all. You've thought it through. When I see Xiaobin later, I'll remind him to pretend that he doesn't know you when he sees you. Xianglan, you must do a good job, otherwise I don't know how to explain it."
Wu Xianglan nodded heavily. The work was finally settled. Starting tomorrow, she would be a worker in the textile factory. She would definitely remember this great favor. It was all thanks to her sister-in-law.
Speaking of which, the sister-in-law is really kind-hearted. Not only does she help her, but she also helps those poor women in Lujia Village. Although they don’t earn as much as she does from working at home, at least they can supplement their family income. Everyone in the village praises the sister-in-law. Even the old ladies Zhou Jiaojiao is close to want to work in the workshop every day!
Bah, they used to make up stories about the sister-in-law. They are just dreaming! ! !
"If there's nothing else, I'll go back. Remember to save your salary separately and hide it. Don't let anyone know. Men are unreliable. Xianglan, your good days are still to come!"
After Shen Meng left, Wu Xianglan wiped her eyes and called the two children into the house. Yongli hurriedly waved the candied haws at her.
"Mom, you eat it. It's so sweet. My aunt bought it for us. Mom, have one too!"
Wu Xianglan looked at her daughter who didn't eat any and thought about herself. Then she looked at her son who licked the candied haws clean. How could she think about herself as a mother? At this moment, the balance in her heart tilted towards Yongli.
When Shen Meng got home, Lu Zhenping had already prepared dinner, including stir-fried cabbage with bacon, cold radish, pork ribs and kelp soup, and a pot of steamed buns of different sizes. Although they didn't look very good, you could tell they were delicious just by smelling them.
"Thank you for your hard work. Can you take care of four children when I'm not at home?"
"What's wrong with a few little brats? I can handle all the new recruits in the army, so these few are no problem at all."
Lu Zhenping put his arm around Shen Meng's waist and shook his head, trying to ask for a reward.
Shen Meng glanced at him, thinking he was a jerk. Then she gave Lu Zhenping a kiss on his handsome face.
