Chapter 25: Writing a letter to divorce his wife
"Thank you for the trip, Jiaojiao. Um, the clothes that the children changed last night are in the basin next to the water tank. You can wash them. You've worked hard!"
Zhou Jiaojiao smiled slightly and put the breakfast on the table in the main room. Without saying anything, she asked Lu Jiaxuan to pick up the sand basin next to the water tank and left quickly, fearing that he would ask them to do any more work.
After they left, Shen Meng was stunned. She walked to the table and opened the breakfast that Zhou Jiaojiao brought over. As expected, there were only a few black bean cakes and a bowl of thin soup that was big enough to reflect one's reflection.
She knew that Liu Sanjin, the stingy old woman, could not always give them good food. She would definitely not eat this, and the children would certainly not let them eat it.
While the children were still asleep, Shen Meng hurried to the kitchen. After cleaning the pot, she took a bucket of millet porridge from the kitchen and poured half of it into the pot. She put five eggs on the shelf, two cabbage vermicelli dishes in the pot, covered the pot, and lit the stove.
After Lu Mingyang and Lu Mingliang woke up, they ran to the east room and were relieved to see that their younger brother and sister were still asleep.
"Brother, why did you come here so early in the morning to see Mingfang and Xiaokai? Hey, where is mom? She's not well yet. Why are you running around?"
Lu Mingyang: "..."
Stupid, why don't you look after your younger brother and sister? What if they get sold? Mom, mom, mom, you only know mom, you are such a fool!
"Rice, brother, there is rice on the table in the main hall. It must have been sent by fourth aunt
. Hehe, there must be chicken...ah, why are there only black steamed buns and thin soup!" "It's good to have something to eat. Don't move. Wait until mom comes back. Go wash your face first. I'll watch over Mingfang and Mingliang here."
In the past, people would be very happy to have something to eat, but after eating a day of good food yesterday, he thought there would be something to eat today.
Lu Mingliang walked out listlessly, and suddenly his footsteps paused. There was movement in the kitchen!!!
He walked over quietly and sniffed hard with his little nose. Wow, there is something delicious.
Shen Meng lit a fire and burned two pieces of firewood. The millet porridge was already hot. After heating it in the pot, it immediately began to steam. She stood up when she saw that it was almost done.
Just as she was about to go out, she met a pair of bright eyes.
"Mom, have you cooked?" The expectant look, impatient to know the answer.
Shen Meng did not let him down.
"Yes, your fourth aunt came to bring you food this morning, and mother knew at first glance that you would not like it. It happened that we had some millet at home, so I cooked some porridge and made two dishes with the cabbage that your aunt Tian sent over. You should wash your face quickly, and we will have dinner now."
Lu Jialiang jumped around happily, "Mom, I'll go right away. Hehe, mom, you are so nice. I saw the meal brought by fourth aunt. You guessed it right. I don't like black-faced steamed buns at all!"
He took two steps back and forth barefoot and ran back to the main room decisively.
"Brother, wash your face quickly. Mom is not running around. She has made delicious food. Let's eat and go to work quickly. Don't look at Mingfang and Xiaokai. They will wake up soon."
After he finished speaking, he saw that Lu Mingyang did not move. He turned around and saw Shen Meng smiling at him. His heart skipped a beat and he said in a friendly way, "Mom!"
Shen Meng waved at them and then went into the east room. Mingfang and Mingliang had already sat up. Lu Mingliang's voice was too loud just now, and they were woken up immediately.
"Wake up, get up and eat, Mingfang, your third aunt is coming to make clothes for you today. You and Xiaokai are at home. Don't go anywhere, understand?"
Lu Mingfang got up from Shen Meng's kang for the first time, very shy.
Shen Meng looked at the skinny child and just wanted to raise the child better and healthier as soon as possible.
"Come here, mom will tie your hair!"
Lu Mingfang was stunned for a moment, and then her hair was gathered up by Shen Meng's big hands. She used to tie it casually.
Mingkai was wearing a shirt and bare legs, watching her mother tie her sister's hair, and did not dare to say anything.
Shen Meng put the breakfast sent by Zhou Jiaojiao aside. She and the children ate what she cooked. Two vegetables were cut into six pieces. She ate one piece herself and let the children eat the rest.
Thick millet porridge, fresh and fragrant mustard greens, and boiled eggs, this breakfast made the children very satisfied. Lu Mingliang ate two and a half bowls of mustard greens, and his belly was full.
"Mom, how much food is left at home? Will we be hungry later?" Although he ate happily, he couldn't be so wasteful. Although black flour steamed buns were not delicious, many families ate them and they could fill their stomachs. No family could bear this.
"Just eat your food, don't worry about the meals at home."
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
"Is Lu Zhenping's family at home? Is there a letter from you!"
"Someone is here, wait a minute, come right away!"
It was already past eight o'clock in the morning, and the sun was hot. People were sweating. Shen Meng directly picked up the thin soup sent by Zhou Jiaojiao and sprinkled a pinch of brown sugar into it.
"Hello, comrade, you've had a hard trip, and I'm drinking some thin soup at home. I'll take some extra to quench my thirst, comrade!"
The postman has been here many times, and this is the first time he saw Shen Meng's smiling face. He looked at the brown sugar on the thin soup, and his heart moved slightly.
"I feel embarrassed, comrade. Here is your letter and the remittance slip. Please sign here."
Shen Meng handed the soup to the waiter and took the things handed to him by the postman. He signed and said, "This little soup is not worth it. You will have to ride a bike later. It will be tiring under such a strong sun. Just sign here, right? Okay!"
The postman wiped the sweat from his head, drank the soup in a few gulps, took the things from Shen Meng's hand, and just put them down when he heard a doorbell ring not far away. He saw that it was the old lady of this family. He quickly packed up his things, rode his bike and ran away without hesitation.
Liu Sanjin, who had just opened the door and smiled, looked at the postman's back with hatred. Wasn't it just a few questions? Was it worth hiding from her?
Liu Sanjin stamped his feet and walked a few steps to Shen Meng.
"Mingyang's mother, bring the letter that the boss wrote to you to Jiaxuan and read it to you later. Give him the remittance slip and let him get the money for you. Is there a certificate for picking up the package in the letter? Let's..."
Shen Meng rolled her eyes and covered her head and said, "What, mother, what are you talking about? I can't hear you. I have a headache. I'm going home to lie down."
"You..."
"Bang!"
Liu Sanjin took a few steps back when the door slapped him. He was almost slapped in the face by Shen Meng, a black-hearted woman who wanted to steal the money given to her by her son. Humph, write a letter. This time I must write a letter to the boss and ask him to come back and divorce his wife as soon as possible!
