Chapter 22: It’s too early to talk
Lu Mingyang put down the firewood and didn’t run to the kitchen immediately. Instead, he looked at Shen Meng’s staggering steps in surprise.
Sugar-coated bullets, this is a sugar-coated bullet!!!
The bad woman has so many tricks. In just one day, two brothers and a sister are about to be conquered. A little favor makes them forget the past. They are so stupid. Lu Mingyang shook hands. In the evening, no matter what good things the bad woman made in the evening, he would never eat a bite, absolutely.
"Brother, what are you standing there for? Here's a big bowl of sweet mung bean soup. Come and drink some. It's too hot. Let's not go to collect firewood for a while!"
Lu Mingyang walked to the kitchen, picked up the mung bean soup on the table and took two sips.
"No, I've collected firewood and said what I wanted to say. I'll go back to lie down on the kang. Hey, did something scratch your foot when you were walking just now? Wash it with clean water later."
"Okay!" Lu Mingyang agreed. He glanced around and saw the sand basin on the stove. He lifted the lid and saw that there was indeed quite a lot of mung bean soup in it. He was delighted and picked up the spoon beside him and scooped a mouthful.
"Brother, do you want more? There's more here?"
"No, one bowl is enough. If you want to drink, drink some more. It's just a secret!"
"Hehe!"
One of the brothers drank another half bowl secretly, and the other one stuck his head out of the kitchen to keep watch. After a long time, he came out of the kitchen, spread out the firewood, washed his hands and feet, and went back to the west room to lie down.
Lu Mingfang and Lu Mingliang on the kang were almost asleep. He raised his hands and rubbed his eyes, and then he could see clearly where he was. Lu Mingkai was happy. He was hugged by Shen Meng for an afternoon, and he became bolder. While Shen Meng was not awake, he whispered "Mom".
Lu Mingfang looked at Shen Meng and subconsciously wanted to run away with her brother, but when she thought about how her mother had held her in her arms to sleep in the afternoon and asked her aunt to make her cotton-padded clothes and cotton shoes, she still found it unbelievable that such good fabrics and cotton were made for her.
Shen Meng didn't sleep in the afternoon and had been sleeping for the past two days. She was so sleepy that she watched a movie in her space while the two children were sleeping, and then came out with a pot of mung bean soup.
She pretended to have just woken up and frowned as she looked at the two children.
"Hey, when did you wake up? Why didn't you call mom?"
"Mom is asleep, so I won't call." Lu Mingkai shuddered and didn't get out of Shen Meng's arms. He felt comfortable in his mother's arms and didn't want to leave her at all, so he bravely replied.
Shen Meng looked at the soft Mingkai and felt happy. He gave him a kiss.
"Good boy, Mingfang, while you were sleeping, mom made you some mung bean soup with rock sugar. You can take Mingkai to eat some. Speak softly. Mingyang and Mingliang are resting in the west room!"
Lu Mingfang was stunned for a moment, then got off the kang, agreed, and carried the equally confused Lu Mingkai out. When he reached the door, he turned around and glanced at Shen Meng.
"Mom, lie down for a while. Call me if you need anything."
"Okay, go ahead, girl."
Lu Mingfang listened to Shen Meng's words, smiled shyly, and left with Lu Mingkai in her arms.
When the brother and sister drank the mung bean soup, they praised it in their hearts. Lu Mingkai laughed as he drank.
"Sister, mom just kissed me. Did you see it? She kissed my forehead, hehe!"
"I saw it, Mingkai, be good. Mom definitely likes you." Lu Mingfang said it with a little melancholy. No matter what, Mingkai is mom's child. Mom said she was good to her, but...but she didn't kiss her just now.
Lu Mingfang bit her lip, wondering if she was too cold. After all, her mother said she would change, and she was so kind to them. She fed them fine white noodles and sweet green bean soup even when she was sick. She did nothing and always wanted to run away. Would her mother be sad and change back to her original state?
Lu Mingfang was flustered for a moment when she thought about it, but when she saw her little brother was so happy, she made up her mind that next time, she would say something nice to her mother. Adults like children with sweet words. Yes, be sweeter.
Liu Sanjin was unhappy and asked for leave to go home after working halfway in the afternoon, which almost made Lu Debang angry. It was the busy farming season, and everyone, young and old, went to the fields except those who could not go to work. She was in good spirits and came back after working halfway, which made the village cadres in charge of production unhappy.
Xie Jinghao brought a bowl of cold water to her kang and called "mother" softly. Liu Sanjin snorted coldly.
Xie Jinghao didn't care. Anyway, in this family, besides her husband and children, only her eldest brother's family could make her care.
"Mom, didn't you say that the sun made you dizzy? Drink some cool water and you'll feel better. Drink it and then go to sleep!"
"Humph, forget about your filial piety. Stop getting mad at me. I can still live a few more years!"
Xie Jinghao didn't reply and put the cool water on the table next to her. Knowing that she was going to bring up the past again and deliberately tease her, she just listened.
"Our third child is also unlucky. If he hadn't married you, a mortal, he wouldn't have had the opportunity to go to school. Now he has to work part-time in the mine and work himself to death to support you and your mother." Liu Sanjin sat up and pointed at Xie Jinghao and started to scold her.
Xie Jinghao said nothing. She was an orphan raised by a kind-hearted grandmother. After her grandmother died, her close relatives occupied the old house and wanted to drive her out. She had no relatives and no one to rely on. When she jumped into the river to commit suicide, it was Lu Jiasheng who saved her. Originally, that year, Liu Sanjin had found a girl for Lu Jiasheng. If he could marry her, he would not only have a good marriage, but also be recommended to attend the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. After graduation, he would be guaranteed a job and a stable job for life. But at this time, Xie Jing's good relatives took the opportunity to make a big fuss about Lu Jiasheng ruining Xie Jing's good reputation, forcing the Lu family to marry her.
At that time, she didn't want to be the bad guy. Others had saved her with good intentions, but she ruined their future. It was Lu Jiasheng who found her and wanted to marry her, and he also vowed to treat her well. Lu Zhenping paid for the house repairs and also gave the bride price, so that Xie Jinghao could have a family again.
After marriage, the couple had a good relationship, but Liu Sanjin always looked down on this third daughter-in-law who had no mother's family.
Liu Sanjin looked at her silently, frowning. Thinking about what he heard in the afternoon, he said in a deep voice: "You cook tonight, make some corn noodle soup, boil two eggs for the old family, and stir-fry a dish. When stir-frying, add some lard. You carry... No, let Jiaojiao and Jiaxuan carry it to the old family, and send it when they get off work."
Xie Jing's eyes moved. Maybe she heard something bad outside and wanted to make something good to send to her family to save face!
Shen Meng was lying on the kang, and Lu Mingkai carefully poked his head over. Seeing his mother looking at him, he laughed.
"Mom, what are we going to eat tonight?" He had just finished drinking the mung bean soup and was looking forward to dinner. Coincidentally, at this moment, Lu Mingyang walked out of the west room. He snorted in his heart. No matter what, he was not going to eat anyway.
"If you don't cook dinner at night, your grandma will bring it to you."
Lu Mingyang: "......."
So annoying, it's too early to say it!!!
