Chapter 262: Afraid of being gossiped
As the hot and fragrant food entered their mouths, Daqing and Erqing's eyes instantly turned red. They had never had such a delicious meal in such a serious manner. They looked up at the people at the table. The two children were extremely envious.
Mingyang picked up a large piece of chicken and put it in Daqing's bowl.
"What are you looking at? Look, you can eat it full. Eat it quickly."
"Thank you, thank you."
Mingliang saw his brother pick up food for Daqing, and he also picked up a piece for Erqing and put it in his bowl.
"You don't have a cough, it's okay to eat this, eat more, eat well to keep your body healthy."
Shen Meng looked at the children at the table. She was very satisfied with the performance of her children. They knew how to take care of others, and their words and actions did not make people feel uncomfortable. Mingfang saw Daqing chewing chicken, took out a bun from the steamed bun basket and stuffed it into his hand.
"Brother Daqing, you eat it. The buns made by my mother are delicious and fragrant."
"Okay."
Xiaolong didn't say anything. He helped whoever finished eating the bun, and quickly served a bowl of millet porridge to whoever finished drinking it. He has lived in Lu Jiasheng's house for a long time now, and he knows how to take care of people better.
"Xiaolong, I want to take advantage of my break and go home tomorrow. Do you want to go with me?"
"I can't go back. The furniture for my uncle's wedding is not ready yet. I want to make two chairs myself. My master said that I need to improve my craftsmanship and let me learn well!"
"Okay, the two villages are close anyway. When you want to go home, tell your master. I have left you a delicious meal in the kitchen. Eat it later and then go back."
Xiaolong immediately said "Hey". His aunt is really good to him.
Half an hour after lunch, Shen Meng took the medicine for Erqing to take.
"Aunt, your family is so nice."
"Silly child, take the medicine. Aunt has told your mother that she will never lose her temper again. She will love Erqing very much. When you recover from your illness, you can live a good life with your brother and Yaoyao."
Erqing didn't say anything. He lowered his head while holding the teacup. After a long silence, he raised his head again.
With red eyes, he said, "Okay."
Shen Meng felt sad. Daqing and Erqing were both sensible children. They knew that their mothers had a hard time. Even though Rong was used as a punching bag, he was also very sad in his heart, but he was still very attached to his own mother.
This is human nature!
The next day, Shen Meng took Mingkai to Shenjia Market. He didn't know who leaked the news. The village head and the party secretary there were waiting at the door early in the morning.
"Comrade Shen is back. You see, he is usually too busy. It is difficult to see you. Let's go in and talk first. Everything is ready."
Shen Fugui couldn't help but look up at the door frame of his house after listening to the village chief's words. After confirming, it was his own home. He thought it was the village chief entertaining guests at the brigade headquarters!
A group of people were about to enter the house, and the branch secretary hurriedly stopped them.
"Xiao Meng, you have finally come back. You should spend some time with your parents first. The village chief and I will go back first. We will have lunch in the workshop. The meal is already being prepared there."
"What are you doing..."
"Okay, branch secretary, I will go home first. We will talk later."
The village chief wanted to say a few more words, but his hand was held tightly by the branch secretary. After everyone entered the yard, he shook off the branch secretary's hand.
"What are you doing? Shen Meng finally came back. We need to have a chat with him and make our workshop bigger and stronger. Now we only sell some cakes in the county and the supply and marketing cooperatives in the commune. This is completely different from what we expected. Look at the people in Lujia Village. They are now taking orders from abroad. We must also strive for it as soon as possible. Why are you still holding me back?"
"Oh, Old Wu, why are you in such a hurry? She hasn't been back to her parents' home for more than half a month. She finally sees her parents and relatives, so she has to talk privately. Besides, hasn't Xiao Meng agreed to have lunch at the workshop at noon? Then she can visit the workshop and see how our workers work. She can eat and chat and drink some wine. She can agree to anything."
Village Chief Wu heard that this was indeed the case. He nodded and ran to the workshop to see what dishes were being made. This was the God of Wealth, so he had to treat him well.
Shen Fugui pouted and sat in the main hall with his back straight, looking like a proud rooster.
"You are so capable now, you have brought honor to your father. When you go out, many people give your father cigarettes and gifts. He is showing off."
Shen Meng chuckled and said, "You should show off. You girls are so capable, you can show off as much as you want."
Wang Guizhi brought a piece of peach cake to Lu Mingkai, poured some warm water for Shen Meng, and sat down and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hey, your eldest brother, second brother, and eldest and second sister-in-law are all working in the food workshop now. They are getting paid now, and life at home is getting better and better. I am looking forward to your youngest brother getting married soon, so that I can rest assured."
"Yes, after Xiaobin gets married, we will have completed our mission and can just wait to have a grandson."
Shen Meng frowned and said, "My second sister-in-law's belly is so big, why is she still going to work in the workshop? No, she should not go tomorrow, no, she should not go this afternoon, let her stay at home to recuperate, what if something happens?"
"Your second sister-in-law thinks that the good life now is all thanks to you. She and your eldest sister-in-law discussed that you should work hard and not let others say anything bad about you. You are very diligent in the workshop, for fear that someone will say something gossipy and affect you."
Shen Meng choked for a moment. She was naturally happy that her family protected her so much, but she had to take care of herself first at all times!
"Let's talk about it at noon. Talk to my second sister-in-law at noon. I am working hard now to make our family have a better life in the future, not to make our family so cautious. If that's the case, it's better to go down to work and be more comfortable!"
Shen Fugui and Wang Guizhi listened for a long time without saying anything. Although everyone praised their daughter every time they went out, there were also many people gossiping behind their backs.
"I came here today to deliver some things, mainly to my second sister-in-law. She is about to give birth, and nutrition must be kept up at this time. I have already talked to Dr. Cheng in the obstetrics and gynecology department of the county hospital. She has reserved a bed for my second sister-in-law, and will personally deliver the baby for her when the time comes. This is what Dr. Cheng asked me to bring for my second sister-in-law. It is a calcium supplement, an iron supplement, and a vitamin supplement. In addition, she must continue to take the folic acid I gave her before, and don't be lazy."
Wang Guizhi looked at the list of medicines, hospital bills, and some good things to replenish her body. She was filled with emotion. People used to say her daughter was not a good person, but now there is no one who is more good and kind than her daughter.
