Chapter 58 Brothers are still the ones I can rely on in the future
The words of the two daughters-in-law made Wang Guizhi feel warm in her heart. Both of her daughters-in-law were kind people. They never married better than her sister-in-law. They wanted things whenever they wanted, and never tried to make her and her old man find concubines to help their parents. They lived a decent life.
After thinking about it, she still didn't knock on Shen Meng's door. She turned around and went to the main room and came back. She knocked on the door of the second room twice and walked in.
"Xiaomei, Qinlan, you haven't slept yet?"
"Mom, why are you here? Is it too hard to sleep over there?" Lu Qinlan said as she got down from the kang, thinking that she could make a bed on the floor.
Su Xiaomei didn't dare to move. Her son was lying on her legs. The child was a light sleeper and would cry if there was any movement.
"Don't come down, don't come down. Mother is here to bring you some brown sugar. Half a pound each for you two sisters. After you finish eating, I'll buy more for you."
Wang Guizhi smiled and handed the things to the kang. She had originally thought of giving them to Shen Meng after she left, but she thought that giving them now would be more kind to her young lady. She and the old man were both old. If anything went wrong in the future, Shen Meng would only be able to rely on her brothers. She also had to maintain a good relationship with her sister-in-law from her natal family.
"Mom, you can't do this. This is what Xiaomeng brought for you and my dad. How can she give it to me? I don't want it. Or you can give it to Xiaomei. She is pregnant and she should eat something good."
"Sister-in-law doesn't want it, and I don't want it either, mom. I'm fine and don't need any supplements. Dad coughs every day and is still sick. Keep it for you and dad!"
Wang Guizhi stuffed a bag of brown sugar into each of the daughters-in-law's pockets.
"Take them all. Xiao Meng has taken quite a lot. I'll give you two sisters half a pound each to eat first. After you finish, mother will give you more. All the fruit candies are for you. Hide them well. When the child is full, give them to him/her. These are Xiao Meng's instructions. You can't refuse them. Otherwise, your younger sister will think you have something against her. You know what kind of temper she has."
The two sisters-in-law looked at each other and knew that the mother-in-law wanted them to take the brown sugar and said so on purpose. They smiled shyly and thanked Wang Guizhi together.
Brown sugar is such a good thing. Which woman doesn't want it? The wife of the production team leader has never stopped eating it. They have secretly envied her, but in their own situation, the child had some brown sugar when she gave birth. At that time, the mother-in-law asked for it from all over the place and borrowed it from all over the place.
Although the things are few, the friendship is deep. There is no mother-in-law as kind as them in the surrounding villages. Both of them remember her kindness!
"That's right. Xiao Meng also told me to buy two sets of clothes for you sisters and children after the house is built and the furniture is ready. I thought that since such a big thing as building a house has been done and the clothes are also prepared, a set of good clothes can be worn for many years. When the time comes, everyone in our family will be replaced. Famine owes Xiao Meng. As long as she is not anxious, our family will work together and slowly pay it back."
Wang Guizhi's words made Lu Qinlan and Su Xiaomei feel warm in their hearts. It's not that they didn't hear what their sister-in-law said before, but hearing it is one thing, and really doing it is another.
Sisters-in-law are actually very difficult to get along with. Before, the sister-in-law was also nice to me, but she was always arrogant when she spoke and acted, which really made people feel uncomfortable. Today, she was really perfect in every way.
"Mom, please don't be offended by what I say. Xiaomeng has really become much more sensible this time. She knows how to respect her parents. She is considerate of Shoutian and Yutian Xiaobin. The children are also happy. She even cares about Xiaomei and me. She has really grown up. You and Dad can really wait and enjoy the happiness in the future."
"Xiao Meng told me in the evening that if we were better off, we should send our children to school. She said that only by going to school can we have a bright future. Mom, I think Xiao Meng is right."
She had never been to school because she was inferior and had never attended a blindness class. But she had seen the educated youth from the city. They spoke and acted differently from the old farmers in the countryside. She also wanted her children to be like that. Moreover, if they went to school well, they could be assigned a job. Even if it was a technical secondary school, how many people would try their best to get in. It would be a lifelong iron rice bowl.
If her son could get into a technical secondary school and get an iron rice bowl, her life would be worth it.
Wang Guizhi had never had this idea before. After listening to Xiao Meng and her daughter-in-law, she was also thinking about this in her heart. If he wanted to go to school, he would have to start early. Their Xiaolong was already thirteen years old and might not be able to catch up. His younger brothers and sisters might be able to do it.
"Okay, we'll build a house and make furniture first, and wait until next year. At the end of the year, we'll get our bonuses, and mother will be prepared to have several children named after her. Qinlan, Xiaolong is too old to go. For the sake of face, mother will ask around and let him learn a craft. Craftsmen won't die in years of famine, and as long as he has a skill, he will be able to make a living in the future."
Lu Qinlan's eyes were filled with tears when she heard this, "Oh, I'll listen to you."
The three of them, the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, chatted for a while before Wang Guizhi returned to the compartment in the main hall. It took her a while to fall asleep. Her heart was really burning with excitement. She felt that now, there was hope for the family's life.
Early in the morning, the boys woke up late. Shen Shoutian put a quilt on the flatbed, put the kids on it, and covered them with a bed. He took the kids to the primary school in the commune. Shen Meng went home and sent the kids' schoolbags over.
Wang Guizhi also used a clay pot to fill a clay pot with hand-rolled noodles made of three-grain flour.
As expected, Lu Mingyang and his two siblings became famous on the first day of school. They became famous. The parents who came to send their children to school saw the sleepy kids and laughed.
Shen Shoutian was an honest man and had never been so embarrassed before. For a moment, he wanted to leave the flatbed at the school gate and run away.
The registration time didn't have to be so early, but everyone couldn't help but think that it was better to hurry up than to hurry up, and some of them lined up at the school gate with their children before dawn.
When Lu Mingyang got up, his face was tired. He had a stiff face and let his uncle, who also had a stiff face, wet a towel to wipe his face. When Lu Mingfang got up, his hair was messy. Seeing so many people, he quickly buried himself in the quilt, his face flushed with shame.
Shen Meng quickly rode his bicycle to the school gate, got toothbrushes for several children to brush their teeth, and let them eat noodles before letting them go to school.
"Be brave, it's nothing." Shen Meng teased. The children were unmoved. Only Lu Mingkai was still lying on the flatbed cart drooling. The noisy school gate still couldn't wake him up.
