Chapter 347: The Water is Deep
The house that Shen Meng was assigned was in the courtyard of the county committee. It was not big, but not small either. There were three rooms in total. There was a separate toilet and faucet in the courtyard. The kitchen was built later. It was a small shed before, but after she was assigned this house, it was renovated.
Not far from the courtyard, there is also a cadre bathhouse, which is very convenient for taking a bath in winter.
After the family arrived, Shen Meng walked in with the children. This place had been cleaned up by Yu Shirley. Not only did she clean it up, but she also bought some daily necessities, vegetables, fruits, and ribs for them.
"You've been driving for a few hours. Sit for a while. I'll go cook. After dinner, you wash up and go to bed. Rest early after dinner. Driving is the most tiring. You have to get up early tomorrow morning."
"Okay, I'll pack up the things in the car. You go and boil some hot water. The kids are tired enough."
Shen Meng nodded at him.
When their family came over, many family members of the county committee's family courtyard stretched their heads to look. They heard that this small courtyard was divided out before, and everyone wanted to see who it was divided to!
Qi Mingyue was here today. She knew that the courtyard was divided between Shen Meng and Lu Zhenping, so she collected some things from the house and sent them over. She just heard that the resident of the small courtyard had arrived. Thinking that it was almost noon, she quickly asked Aunt Chang to cook two more dishes.
After a tiring journey, she could rest right away after eating something ready.
Shen Meng had just boiled some hot water when she heard a knock on the door. She went out and saw that it was Qi Mingyue, and quickly invited her in.
"Aunt Qi, why are you here? We were thinking of packing up and going to your house to talk to you and Aunt Chang in the evening!"
"Hey, we'll live together from now on, so we can talk anytime. Don't worry about those etiquettes. I just asked your Aunt Chang to cook more dishes. Bring Zhenping and the children to our house for dinner, so you don't have to cook and wash up. When can you rest? The food at home is almost done, just find two more dishes. I thought you just came and your family needed some things, so I sent some to you. You can use it. Hehe, Baoguo is sleeping again, and he will probably wake up soon. I can't stay any longer. You pack up here and come quickly for dinner!"
"Aunt Qi, don't bother, I..."
"We're home now, and you still need to be polite to me. Hey, Mingkai, did you listen to Grandma Qi's business? Come out quickly."
Lu Mingkai was a smart child. He originally came out to pee, but when he got to the yard and saw Qi Mingyue looking at him with her hands open and smiling, he immediately put on a smiling face and rushed towards her.
"Grandma Qi, Mingkai knew it was you as soon as he heard your voice. Mingkai missed you so much. My mother didn't take me to see you, and I miss you so much that I can't sleep!"
"Hey, really, my dear, grandma misses you too. Your mother is too busy and doesn't have time. But you can live here in the future, and you can come to see grandma whenever you want. As long as grandma is at home, you can play with Mingkai, okay?"
"Okay, okay, I'll go to grandma's house after dinner. I also want to visit grandma and little brother. I brought some doll toys for my little brother from the provincial capital. Grandma, wait for me, I'll get it."
Shen Meng: "......."
Oh my dear, what are you pretending for? Is that a toy you brought for your little brother? It's obvious that you bought it and don't want it anymore.
Qi Mingyue didn't know what Shen Meng was thinking. She only knew that this little guy was very kind. Not only did he speak sweetly, but he was also always thinking about her. She turned her head and glanced at Shen Meng. She felt that she was really good at teaching children. She was really excellent.
Shen Meng met Qi Mingyue's admiring eyes and felt very guilty. She didn't teach her children the skill of being slick.
After a while, Lu Zhenping came out with several children. Lu Mingkai was holding a small doll the size of an adult's palm. It was made of cloth and looked very cute. Qi Mingyue felt warm in her heart.
There was no time to delay. The whole family followed Qi Mingyue to her home.
It had been a long time since I last saw Baoguo. When the children arrived at Li's house, they went straight to Baoguo. The little guy woke up soon, blinking for a long time with his sleepy eyes. He was still confused when he saw so many brothers and sisters. Qi Mingyue carried him to the living room and fed him some water before he reacted.
Lu Mingkai immediately handed the doll to him. Baoguo was very happy to take it. He looked very fond of it.
After coaxing Grandma Qi and his little brother, Lu Mingkai hurried out of the yard with his legs twisted. He had been holding his urine for a long time, and he couldn't hold it anymore, especially when he heard the sound of his grandmother Chang washing vegetables from time to time, and he almost opened the gate.
The next morning, Shen Meng sent Lu Zhenping to the gate of the yard.
"Come in. It's very cold early in the morning."
"Not cold at all. I'm fine. By the way, I told Song Dagui that if there is an emergency, let him go to the Public Security Bureau to find Chen Du. Just say that you want to report a case. You should tell Meng Li later to let her know this name. They drive tricycles and know all kinds of people. I thought about what you said, and I guess there are people in your police station watching you. Some things are not convenient for you to do in person. Be careful."
Lu Zhenping rubbed her head and couldn't help but pull her into his arms again. He rested his chin on her shoulder and rubbed it gently.
"Don't worry, my wife. I know who is the troublemaker in the police station. You should be careful in Ning County. I have found two people to protect the children secretly. As long as you are safe, I can let go of my hands and feet in the provincial capital. Before, I thought you were by my side, so I could let go and deal with them. Now it seems that this is a deep water, and it may also involve people who went to Beijing. I won't tell you more, so that you don't think too much. Anyway, I will settle my wife."
Shen Meng raised her hand and gently stroked his back.
If they were still in the village before, without the influence of fame, Lu Zhenping would naturally do whatever he wanted, but now it's different, she has been in the newspaper.
Lu Zhenping let go of Shen Meng, bent down and kissed her forehead lightly, then turned and got into the car.
After he left, Shen Meng returned to the yard, locked the gate, and took out some clothes from the living room that she had thrown into the washing machine yesterday while going to the toilet. Now they could just be taken out and put in the yard to dry. After she was done, she went straight back to the house to sleep. It
was already past nine o'clock when she woke up again, and the children were still asleep. She took a look at the children's room, and they were still sleeping soundly.
She yawned, washed up, and took out a portion of breakfast from the living room. Before she finished eating, several children woke up.
After Shen Meng asked them to wash up and eat breakfast, she took them to Yu Shirley's house.
