Chapter 61: I will be home in a few days
After the Lu family got off work, they smelled the fragrance coming from Shen Meng's house and became even hungrier. After returning home, Xie Jinghao was still lying on the kang. There was a cold pot and cold stove in the kitchen, and there was no food at all. Such a contrast made people feel irritated.
"Sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep every day, just like a landlord's wife. I don't know how long she will sleep. Others have been working for a whole morning, but she is sleeping like a dead pig."
Liu Sanjin pulled the dirty clothes on the rope and threw them next to the water tank.
"Mom, don't worry, I'll go cook, second sister-in-law, come and help!"
"What help? Jiaojiao, you do it all by yourself, and let your second sister-in-law wash all the clothes at home. You are very busy every day, and there are so many things to do at home. Some people are blind."
Liu Sanjin looked at Xie Jing's house with veiled accusations, and felt very annoyed.
Zhou Jiaojiao's expression froze for a moment, and then she said "Ah" and went into the kitchen. She originally wanted to help Wu Xianglan light the fire and let her cook.
But she was in a good mood these two days. She and Lu Jiaxuan spent fifty cents on phone bills and called Lu Zhenping specifically to tell him about the family division. The eldest brother has agreed to recommend Jiaxuan to work in the commune.
As long as Jiaxuan becomes an official, she will be able to live a good life in the future, and her parents' family will also be able to help out.
When she has money in her hands, she can ask her mother-in-law for some money and build a brick and tile house.
She is very energetic now, so cooking is not a big deal.
Xie Jing fed Xiaogang half a bowl of noodles early in the morning. The little guy ate and went to sleep, and she ate the remaining half bowl.
Looking at the empty and shining bowl, she respected Shen Meng, her sister-in-law, from the bottom of her heart. As for those outside, she could just leave them alone.
Shen Meng put the empty bowls in the sand basin, and put two pieces of egg cake in the schoolbags of Lu Mingyang and others.
"Mingyang, this is a warm water cup. Mom bought it for you at the supply and marketing cooperative. If you feel hungry in the afternoon, eat the egg cake and ask the teacher for some water. You can't drink raw water in school, otherwise you will have a stomachache. Do you understand?"
"I understand, Mom."
"Okay, if you have nothing to do, go to school quickly. Don't be late. Mom has worked all morning. I will hold Xiaokai to sleep for a while."
Lu Mingyang and the other two: "......."
A certain military region in southern Yunnan.
Lu Zhenping was about to go back after sending the telegram when he saw Ma Xiang walking towards him with a bag of things.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm here to find you, tsk tsk. I heard Xiao Zhang on the communication side say that you used the back door for your brother. I came here to laugh at you. Why, the selfless Deputy Commander Lu also used the back door like others."
Lu Zhenping shook his head and said, "No, I just sent a message to the commune. Fair play. He wants to If you have the ability, you can do it. If you don't have the ability, it's useless for me to recommend him. But Jiaxuan is actually very good, very studious, and very hard-working. He is very conspicuous among the young adults in our area. If he can be a clerk in the commune, he can help your sister-in-law and the others when I am not at home. "
"Okay, okay, I think your brother is just so-so, I won't argue with you, hey, I heard that your home leave was approved, hey, are you happy?"
Lu Zhenping looked at him frowning, sneered, turned around and left.
"Don't go, I'm happy for you, too, now the guys in the team are relieved, they were worried that you wouldn't get your home leave this year, and asked me to say good things for you."
Lu Zhenping raised his eyebrows, as if he still needed to say good things, whether he was carrying out missions or participating in military exercises this year, he was always in the top three, a home leave is not a piece of cake.
"Well, let's not talk about that, so that you won't be proud. These are the things that your brothers and sisters packed for you. They were all made at home, so it's not a mistake. They also feel sorry for their sister-in-law. Several families were able to follow the army because you gave them their yards. How can they feel at ease if they don't take this?"
"It's just what you made yourself. There's nothing else, right?"
Ma Xiang immediately raised his hand to indicate, "Absolutely not. We've been comrades-in-arms for so many years. How can you not believe me?"
Lu Zhenping opened it and took a look. Sure enough, it was some coarse cloth woven by himself, dried vegetables, pickled vegetables, and five canned meats. These were the most valuable things inside.
"Okay, I'll keep it. Thank my brothers and sisters for me. By the way, Changhong wrote to me last time, saying that Xiao Meng really likes to eat rice noodles from southern Yunnan. Can you help me see if any of my fellow villagers want to sell it? Buy some for me. Give me money and tickets. Don't take advantage of the common people."
Ma Xiang looked at him with pain in his eyes, as if he was the only one who knew the principle. He put his hands behind his back and left without paying any attention to him.
Lu Zhenping chuckled and returned to the office. He would be able to go home in four or five days. For some reason, he felt particularly excited. This was something he had never felt before. He couldn't help but wonder what Shen Meng looked like now.
Shen Meng was sleeping soundly with her baby in her arms, when the gate of the courtyard was slammed. Lu Mingkai groaned twice in fear, turned over and continued to sleep. She frowned, gritted her teeth and got up and walked out.
"Who is it?"
"Shen Meng, you little bitch, you dare to use the rice from your private plot to support your mother's family, what are you thinking, you are the daughter-in-law of our Lu family, you just want to steal things from your mother-in-law's family and give them to your mother's family, how can you be so vicious?"
Liu Sanjin yelled at the crack of the door in anger. It was time to go to work, and many people saw the usually gentle old lady jumping up and down at her eldest son's door. She had jumped up and down several times in a month.
She really couldn't help it. She was going to let her nephew come and pull the straw. The thatch of her mother's house was replaced every two years to ensure warmth in winter. But Shen Meng, that damn girl, quietly let the old Shen family pull the straw away. What was going on? Even if the family was divided now, she was still the head of the Lu family, and her words still carried weight.
Shen Meng walked to the door and turned back, "Mom, you go back. The private plot is mine. My brother from my mother's family came to work for me. What's wrong with pulling some straw? Don't try to take everything from your mother's family. I don't have anything good to give you."
Oh! ! !
When the people outside who were watching the action heard this, they thought it was outrageous. It turned out that both of them were taking things from their husband's family and sending them to their mother's family.
But after all, the Lu family's eldest branch has been divided now, so Shen Meng can deal with it however she wants. Besides, she lives in a brick and tile house, so there is no use in keeping those straw.
Liu Sanjin didn't expect her to be so straightforward. When her nephew came to borrow money, she immediately gave him eight yuan, which was just from Shen Meng's hand. The little bitch saw her while she was giving the money. She knew that Shen Meng would be exposed sooner or later, but she couldn't admit it. If the old man knew about it, she would suffer.
"You are talking nonsense. Open the door for me or I will beat you to death."
