Chapter 278: They live better than anything else
The trucks, lorries and tractors from the county town rushed to the disaster area. The red slogans on the trucks were very conspicuous. People passing by knew that Ning County was providing disaster relief to the southern region. When passing the provincial capital's national highway, the news spread.
Shen Meng did not participate in the subsequent events. She was busy with the wedding of Shen Xiaobin and Lu Xiangxiang. The two families had been preparing for the wedding of the young couple for several months and wanted to complete it when Lu Zhenping's family visit leave ended.
Shen Xiaobin's new house is the most spacious in the Shen family. There are two brand new mahogany kang cabinets stacked on the kang, and next to them is a new kang table. The furniture with thirty-six legs makes the house very warm and cozy.
Shen Fugui and Wang Guizhi go to the house early every day to check if there are any things that need to be purchased, and work together to make their youngest son's wedding beautiful.
Shen Meng had helped to buy a bicycle, a watch, and a radio before, and now a sewing machine. All of them have been moved to Lu Xiangxiang's house.
Aunt Juying looked at the house filled with betrothal gifts and was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She and several other aunts put on quilts on the straw mat at home.
Lu Xiangxiang didn't go to work either, she was sewing shoe soles at the entrance of the main hall.
"Have you heard about that family that your Xiangxiang mentioned before? They are having a very chaotic life now. I heard that the mother-in-law of that family is sweet on the outside but has a bitter heart. A good girl got married there, but she was tortured so badly that no one in the village believed her. The poor girl almost jumped into the river." "
I don't know. I haven't heard about it. I have been busy preparing things for Xiangxiang's wedding these days. I am afraid that something is not done well. I don't have time to listen to other people's gossip."
"That's true, but your Xiangxiang is really lucky. She and Xiaomeng are like a pair of trousers in our village. Now that she is married to her brother, she won't have to suffer in the future. You and Laoguai can finally rest assured."
Zhu Juying smiled, and was very happy in her heart. She could find such a good marriage for Xiangxiang, and she could wake up with a smile in her dreams. It was said that Shen Xiaobin gave her the job in the textile factory for the couple to have a better life in the future.
A stable job, if you buy it, you can't get less than three or five thousand. Xiaomeng gave it to them, and their family didn't know how to repay them. Unexpectedly, Xiangxiang got a job as a team leader in a hair flower factory. Now she doesn't go to the hair flower factory anymore, but she can earn wages in the food workshop again. They are all good places!
"Of course, who could have thought of this? Hey, the Shen family has prepared so many things for Xiangxiang, Lao Guai and I can't be vague. I plan to let Xiangxiang take all the betrothal gifts, and the bedding and clothes and so on must be provided for the child. The young couple will live a good life in the future. My heart is sweeter than eating honey!"
"If my girl could be as lucky as you, Xiangxiang, I would wake up laughing in my dreams and I would just not sleep."
Lu Xiangxiang blushed when she heard this. She thought about how she was living a hard life more than half a year ago, but she didn't expect that after a sudden turn of events, she could win such a world. If it weren't for the help of Sister Meng, I'm afraid she would still be quarreling with Huangmaochun every day!
"Xiangxiang, is Xiangxiang at home?"
"Hey, Xiaomeng, come in quickly, Xiangxiang is at home!"
Shen Meng came over with Xiaokai and a basket in her hand. Zhu Juying quickly put down her needlework and went into the house with her. Lu Xiangxiang also took out an apple from the cabinet and handed it to Mingkai. She also poured a glass of water for Shen Meng, but knowing that she didn't like brown sugar water, she didn't put any in it for her.
"Sister-in-law, have some water."
"Oh, don't bother. I came here just to see if there's anything missing so I can help buy some things."
"No, no, the date has been set. The old sisters in the yard can help cook and steam buns. I asked the village chief to order 50 kilograms of pork from the meat processing plant so that everyone can have a good meal."
The aunties who were helping to put on the quilts in the yard were very excited when they heard about 50 kilograms of pork. As chefs, they could only eat a little more than others. How could they not be happy?
Some people even gestured with their hands open. During the New Year, they could only get two or three kilograms, but they bought 50 kilograms for the banquet. They all sighed that Lao Guai's family was really rich.
"Very good, fifty kilograms is not a small amount. I'll also get some extras here and ask someone to send you some fish and tofu. I'll make you a spicy tofu fish, which is also a good dish!"
"Okay, anything is fine. As long as it can be done hot and noisy, it's fine. Just tell me how much it costs and I'll pay for it."
Shen Meng smiled and said nothing. The fish in her space were so crowded that they were about to jump out of the lake. Fortunately, her mother's family was going to hold a banquet, and this place also had to hold a banquet, otherwise I didn't know what to do.
Half a pig and a hundred kilograms of fish had already been sent over there, so she could send a hundred kilograms of fish back here, just enough to loosen up the remaining fish.
"The wedding is in two days. My second sister-in-law is still in the county. She also wants to attend the wedding. But she is about to give birth. I thought Xiangxiang and I would go to the county to see her tomorrow. Xiaobin will also go there. If she can't attend, it can be regarded as making up for the regret. Is that okay?"
"Okay, of course. I will buy some gifts for my second sister-in-law and send them to her. The tiger shoes I made for my nephew and niece will be ready soon. I can send them to her tomorrow so that she can see them!"
Lu Xiangxiang showed her the shoes. They were really beautiful. The red little tiger shoes were tied with yellow thread. The shoes were so cute.
"They are so beautiful. Xiangxiang's craftsmanship is really good. When I have children, I can make them for my own children!"
Lu Xiangxiang was teased and her face turned red instantly.
Shen Meng looked at her shy look and couldn't help laughing out loud. She was too reserved. If in the future, a girl could make such a beautiful thing, she would be so proud that she would die. Anyway, she would.
"These are the vegetables grown in my garden. Although they were planted early, they are all very good. Auntie, you can cook them later and then go to my garden to pick some. There are plenty!"
"Oh, thank you, Xiao Meng."
They were just ordinary vegetables, so she accepted them. When she took the basket and wanted to put the fresh green vegetables in the kitchen, she found a dozen eggs and a piece of pork belly in it. She was stunned for a long time and looked at Shen Meng, who blinked at her and pouted to signal some aunties who were still busy in the yard, and quickly closed her open mouth.
This can't be shouted out. If it gets to Liu Sanjin, who knows what will happen. That old thing won't pretend to be magnanimous and virtuous anymore. She'll be sulking all day long, as if she's owed money.
