Chapter 248: Going out for a week
Yu Shirley put the money in her bag, and she suddenly felt relieved. She also received her salary today, 23 yuan, and the extra money was a reward. The money on hand gradually increased. Thinking about it, she was only 26 years old this year. During the years in the Xu family, she even thought about breaking the jar for a while. Anyway, she was already in such a mess, what else could she do? Many women in the village had a worse life than her. They all worked the same job. What's the big deal!
But every time she looked at Laizi's disgusting face late at night, she thought again, no, I have to be sober, there are still children, Dezi has already taken the roots of the Xu family, Daya and Xiaoya are still good children, they are all good children, and they are girls. If she does nothing, what will happen to the future lives of the two children?
She was like a headless fly without any thoughts or ideas. She had thought about making friends with Liu Yanyan. If she was lucky in the future, she could help herself out of the quagmire.
But not long after they met, she found that Liu Yanyan was not as good as she seemed. She was as cunning as a wasp's nest. Shen Meng was also cunning, but she would not offend others unless they offended her. She had her own principles and bottom line.
She never thought that one day she would be able to escape from the quagmire and get a new life. All of this was given by Shen Meng. Moreover, since she had been living alone with her child, she had received a lot of care from everyone. No matter what, she should be grateful.
"Well, I'm going to take a day off tomorrow. I want to treat everyone to a meal. Is that okay with you?"
"What meal?"
Yu Shirley straightened her smile and looked at Shen Meng and said, "Of course I want to thank you all. Since my divorce, everyone has helped me a lot. Even now that I have come to the county to work, there are often villagers who send me vegetables and help me clean up my private plot. It is reasonable for me to express my gratitude to everyone."
Shen Meng nodded, pulled Yu Shirley and continued to walk towards where Uncle Guai parked his car. After a while, he stopped again.
"Forget it. Treating people to a meal is too ostentatious. If you really want to, just spend money to buy a big bag of candy, and then look at how many pickled vegetables you have at home, gather them all, find some dried spicy beans, stir-fry them with more pork fat, and deliver a small bowl to every household. This is better than spending money to treat everyone. Most people in the village are kind, but there are also many who like to gossip and make trouble. If you really spend money to treat everyone, just wait, in two days There will be people gossiping about you, and then there will be people coming to ask for money. Let’s not talk about other things. The Laizi family is still here. I heard from Mingyang that Daya saw Dezi crying on the roadside because he was hungry, and secretly brought him food. Although you have some money now, you’d better not show off your wealth. "
Yu Shirley naturally listened to Shen Meng's words, especially because she was doing it for her own good. In fact, even if she invited guests, she couldn't buy expensive dishes. It was just for everyone to get together to express gratitude.
But Shen Meng's words made her sober up a little. If she really invited guests, it would be fine if the food was good, but if someone complained about throwing away the food, it would be very embarrassing.
"Okay, I'll listen to you and do what you say. Let's do it tomorrow. It happens that Da Ya doesn't have classes. I'll take Da Ya and Xiao Ya to the county town for a walk, and then take them to the state-owned hotel for a meal and buy them some food. I'll make some money and have a good time with the two children."
"Well, that's the way to think about it. Over time, we'll talk about gratitude later. The village is busy with the flower factory now. We're working overtime. When the orders are handed in at the end of the month, I'll treat everyone to a banquet. You can come too and just say a few words to everyone. Sometimes, treats and gifts are not very important. What country people want is respect and sincerity. You just live your life well and don't think too much."
Yu Shirley was about to nod when she saw Yu Shirley, who had been waiting for a long time, waved at the two of them.
"Look at Wu Xianglan, she doesn't have that burden, and now she has let it go. Men are not that important. Her two children are close to her, she has a salary and a job, and she doesn't care about anything as long as her family doesn't deduct her food. How great."
"Yes, when I brought Daya to your house earlier, I saw Lu Jiahe and his grandson coming out of Liu Suqin's yard. Hey, these two people are considered bugs
in Lujia Village. I heard that Liu Suqin also wanted to go to the hair flower factory, but Director Guo didn't even pay attention to her." Shen Meng lowered his eyes and said nothing. Liu Suqin was wearing the same pants as Zhou Jiaojiao. Wu Xianglan was very proud in the village. Everyone knew that she was on good terms with them, so they were polite to her.
Shen Meng was still waiting for Wu Xianglan, the troublemaker, to deal with Zhou Jiaojiao in the textile factory, so there was absolutely no way that Liu Suqin would go to the factory.
The people in Lujia Village were now working hard to run the factory well, and they also wanted to let the people who had laughed at their village before see that the people in their village were not ungrateful.
After washing up, Shen Meng wore pajamas and leaned over the kang table to write and draw. When Lu Zhenping pushed the door in, he still had a towel on his head. He wiped his hair casually a few times and put the towel on the basin stand. He paused
for a while, then reached out and knocked on the kang table.
"What?"
"Xiao Meng, I have something to tell you. Well, I have to go out tomorrow and won't be back for a week."
Shen Meng looked at him with a bitter face. There was still a month left before his vacation. Since she started working, the two of them had very little time to spend together. He, who was on vacation at home, suddenly said he had to go out and it would take another week. She suddenly felt sad.
"What are you doing? Why do you suddenly have to go out for a week? Did something happen?"
"Well, a few days ago, someone from the county public security bureau came to see me. There is a mission. They want to cooperate with a team in my department. The team leader is also on vacation at home, and he has not been home for three years. His home is very far away. After much deliberation, the superiors decided to let me participate. I am a soldier. When the country and the people need me, I will rush to the front line as soon as possible."
"Okay, since it's a mission, you must pay attention to safety. You are a veteran with rich battlefield experience. I won't give you any more instructions. I just want to tell you that no matter what time it is, when you encounter danger, think of me and the children, and you must come back safely."
"Okay."
Lu Zhenping will be leaving tomorrow, which is really a bit sudden. She simply closed the notebook and started to pack things for Lu Zhenping.
The clothes, shoes and socks were placed in the bag, as well as some dried meat and snacks, which were easy to take and put away. She thought about it and went to the kitchen again, got a big bag of chili powder from the space, carefully wrapped it and put it in the bag.
"Zhenping, I thought of you going to carry out the mission. In case you are outside for a long time and it is inconvenient to eat, I brought you some dried meat and biscuits that I made before. They are very convenient to carry with you. This bag is chili powder, this white paper package is laxative, and this small yellow bag is some commonly used medicines, anti-inflammatory drugs and so on. Remember them!"
Huh? ? ?
"Why do you need to bring chili powder and laxative."
Shen Meng turned around, looked at her with a sly smile and said, "If you need to fight in close combat, just sprinkle the chili powder on the opponent's face and make him die of spiciness. We are all enemies now, so why should we distinguish between being aboveboard and being belowboard? This laxative is of course for lurking. If you encounter the enemy's water source, just sprinkle it in. This is a powerful medicine. Whoever drinks it will definitely become exhausted and faint."
Lu Zhenping: "........"
