Chapter 66: Mother is such a jerk
Zhou Jiaojiao worked faster. She planned to go to her sister-in-law's house to push the bicycle home after work in the morning. She would take a day off tomorrow and go to the county town to buy some fabrics. Then she would make two sets of clothes for Lu Jiaxuan. In the future, she would be a decent worker
. She couldn't dress too poorly or people would laugh at her. Shen Meng didn't know anything about her bicycle. She sent the bicycle home first, and then went to Xie Jinghao's place to pick up Lu Mingkai. When the little guy heard that his family bought a bicycle, he was very happy and even pulled Xiaogang to ride it.
Xiaogang was young and was very eager for a bicycle. He looked at Xie Jinghao with hope.
"Mom, Bao wants to go."
"Go ahead. Go home for lunch, okay? You can't always eat food from your aunt's family." She added a piece of clothing to Xiaogang and whispered something in his ear. Seeing that her son nodded blankly and didn't say what she said, she felt relieved.
When sending her mother out, Xie Jing rubbed her belly.
"Sister-in-law, take this bike home and hide it well, don't let anyone come to pick it up later."
"It's okay, you can borrow it, just pay. The price of the production team's bike is the same as the price of my bike."
Xie Jing opened her mouth for a long time, looked at the villagers working in the fields in the distance, shook her head slightly and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm afraid it won't work. We are all from the same village, and it will hurt the relationship."
Xie Jing was also doing this for Shen Meng's sake. Her sister-in-law's reputation has improved a lot during this period. If she bought a bike at this time, if a good villager came to borrow the bike, if she really didn't want it, it would still be Shen Meng's own reputation that would be damaged.
Now that they are so close, she doesn't want others to say anything bad about her sister-in-law.
"What are you afraid of? People who are not good friends with me usually won't be so shameless as to come and borrow my bicycle. After all, it's a bicycle, a valuable thing. It's not good to bump it. Should I pay for it or not? If you are shameless and want to ride the bicycle, then pay. People who are good friends with me usually won't come and borrow my bicycle. After all, the production team can borrow it. If they can't return it intact after borrowing it, it will hurt the harmony between us. However, if there is really an emergency, I am not a hard-talking person. I will lend it to you in an emergency rather than to a poor person, and I will lend you three instead of two."
"Sister-in-law, you just need to know what's going on. Fellow villagers are not the most important. What's important is our family. Last time, when my elder brother asked Jiaxuan to advocate for the separation of the family, he said he would recommend him to work in the commune. Although he was not selected as an official, he still worked as a temporary worker, which is 18 yuan a month. Sister-in-law, be careful that our mother will set her eyes on your bicycle."
Shen Meng's eyes flickered. Lu Jiaxuan was able to work as a temporary worker in the commune, mostly because of Lu Zhenping's face, but there was also the blessing of the male protagonist's luck.
After she brought the two children home, she tied two bamboo chairs with handles directly to the front bar. She also lied to the two children, telling them that the small chairs bought in the main hall could be tied to the bicycle so that they would not hurt their butts when sitting.
The bicycle Shen Meng took from the space was a little smaller, suitable for girls to ride, and it was not strenuous at all. Two little kids sat in the front, laughing and smacking their lips in the wind. Shen Meng stuffed a candy into each of them when he carried them on the bicycle.
The mother and her two sisters rode all the way to the commune school. Lu Mingyang and his three siblings and Daqing and Erqing were walking on the road. From a distance, they saw someone riding a bicycle towards them. The sharp-eyed Lu Mingliang suddenly pointed excitedly.
"Brother, Mingfang, it's mom. She's here to pick us up on her bike with Xiaokai and Xiaogang. Hehehe, mom said she was going to the county town today. Did she go to buy a bike? Brother, look, there's a big red flower on the bike. Is it our bike?"
As soon as he finished shouting, Lu Mingyang and Lu Mingfang also looked in the direction of Shen Meng. The other children also stretched their heads to look at him, with envy in their eyes.
The children who didn't want to play with Lu Mingyang and the others before also came over and asked excitedly if their family had bought a bike, praising Lu Mingyang, Lu Mingliang, and Lu Mingfang until their faces flushed and they raised their chins proudly.
"I don't know, maybe it's borrowed. My mother is like that. She said she knows the way after school, but she still wants to pick us up."
Lu Mingliang also agreed with his brother, "Mom is really something. We are not children anymore, and she is worried about us going there. It's really a headache."
"Mingliang, your mother really loves you." Erqing looked at Lu Mingliang with envy. He also wanted his parents to come and pick us up, but it was not that his father did not like them and their mother. He often beat them, including Yaoyao. Looking at the good clothes worn by Mingyang and the others, he looked at the aunt who was approaching. He also wanted to have a mother like her. After thinking for a moment, he frowned again. His mother is also very good!
"Mingyang, there are big red flowers on that bicycle, it's obviously new. Auntie, is this the bicycle you bought? This one is smaller than the ones from the production team." Daqing pulled Lu Mingyang towards Shen Meng.
Shen Meng got off the bicycle and said, "Yes, our family just bought a new one. These two kids were clamoring to ride on it, so I rode over to pick up Mingyang, Mingliang and Mingfang. Lu
Mingyang's face lit up, then he said seriously, "We have so many children here, we won't get lost. Mom, please go home quickly, I'm hungry and I have to go to class in the afternoon!"
"Okay, let's go! "
Shen Meng didn't care why the boy had such a dull attitude, because he was obviously very happy when he said he wanted to buy a bicycle.
Lu Mingfang looked at her brother with an unhappy face. While Lu Mingliang and other children were scrambling to look at the bicycles, she moved to Lu Mingyang's side.
"Brother, don't pretend. I know your heart is beating fast with joy. Be careful that mom takes it seriously. In the future, even if you want her to pick you up, she won't answer. Humph! "
After Lu Mingfang finished speaking, she turned around and ran forward, not paying any attention to the somewhat stiff Lu Mingyang.
Shen Meng pushed the bicycle back to the village. It was normal for children to be curious and want to touch, push or sit on the bicycle. She tried her best to satisfy their needs. After all, life was really hard for children these days. Even such a small experience might be remembered for a long time.
Finally, after sending away the other children, Lu Mingyang approached Shen Meng with trepidation.
"Mom, I'm so happy that you bought a bicycle. I, I also want to learn to ride it. Can you teach me, mom?"
"And me. And me."
"Mom, I want to learn too. "
It's not that Shen Meng looks down on the kids, it's just that they are at a disadvantage in terms of height. It's really hard for them to ride a bicycle.
"You can learn if you want to, but I'm not discouraging you. It's a little difficult for you to reach the handlebars. Wait until next year to learn. Eat well and grow taller this year, and try to be able to push a bicycle like me, then learn to ride, okay?"
The kids looked at each other, their faces turned red, but they also made up their minds to eat more and grow taller.
When the kids got home, Zhou Jiaojiao was waiting at the door. She looked at the two woven chairs on the big bar in front of the bicycle and couldn't help frowning.
"Sister-in-law, I'm back. I just bought this bike. You should take good care of it. The paint is about to fall off because it's tied to the chair. Forget it, Xiaokai, Xiaogang, get off first. Auntie still has to push the bike away. This is not bought for you to sit and play. It's for your uncle to use at work. Don't be ignorant!"
Shen Meng: "???"
What nonsense are you talking about? For Lu Jiaxuan to use at work? What are you dreaming about? ? ?
