Chapter 46 A Warm Family
Mom, is the meal ready? I was almost starving when two young men came into the room. The taller one shouted he was hungry as soon as he entered the room, and the one who followed him was shorter. Both of them were honest and capable types! Typical farmers!
What are you talking about? Why are you making such a loud noise? Are you trying to scare someone to death? Aunt Ma stepped forward and gave the tall young man who came in first a slap in the face.
Hey, old woman, the cute girl is still here, what are you doing? We can deal with this bad boy later, Old Man Liu reminded,
Xiaocao, go check on your mother, she is almost done with the meal, take these rice dumplings to your mother and ask her to steam them, Aunt Ma turned around and told Xiaocao,
I guess these two are Brother Liu and Brother Liu. Hello, I am Li Meng. Then Li Meng smiled and greeted them.
Hello, hello, the two brothers were a little embarrassed. They didn't expect the city girl to be so generous and polite to them. She didn't look down on them at all.
All right, go wash your hands, help clean up the dishes, and go to the kitchen to help. I think it will be time for dinner. Aunt Ma chased her two sons out.
Aunt Ma took Li Meng to the inner room, closed the door and took out a wad of money. This is the money from the scarf. I sold it all. Please count it.
No need to count, don’t you think I still don’t believe you? Li Meng then handed the commission money to Auntie Ma. With the experience from last time, Auntie Ma took it generously and put it carefully into her pocket, smiling from ear to ear.
This scarf sold out quickly. It was mainly the result of my eldest daughter-in-law and I going to sell them together. My eldest daughter-in-law also secretly went to the factory in the town and sold several at once.
This time I want to ask you if you can get some socks, gloves, hats and the like. I thought I was selling them anyway, so what’s the difference between one or two? Aunt Ma rubbed her hands embarrassedly and stammered out her request. We country people can’t find the source of goods, so I asked you what you think!
I didn't expect that Aunt Ma and her daughter-in-law were quite business-savvy. Anyway, she had plenty of things in her space and could make money, so why not? They just wanted to live a better life and have more money in their hands. There was nothing wrong with that. It's just that in this day and age, they can only do it secretly!
Don't worry, we are all very careful and will not be caught for speculation. Even if we are caught, we will definitely not tell anyone about you, Auntie Ma saw that Li Meng didn't say anything and said carefully, her facial features twisted together.
Li Meng saw Auntie Ma's tangled expression and said softly: Auntie, let me ask for you, don't worry, many people are secretly selling things on the black market now, as long as you are cautious and careful, there will be basically no problem,
I'll take some time these days to send an urgent telegram to ask, if there is any, I will tell you as soon as possible, Li Meng made an excuse to explain, and did not agree immediately.
That’s a great feeling! When Aunt Ma heard Li Meng say this, she excitedly held Li Meng's hand and smiled.
Grandma, my mother said it's time to eat, Xiaocao knocked on the door and shouted,
Okay! Soon, Auntie Ma opened the door and led Li Meng to the table in the living room. The food was served and everyone sat around the table.
Seeing the dishes on the table, Li Meng knew that Auntie Ma had put a lot of effort into them. There were two meat dishes, and the rest were just ordinary farm meals. Maybe it was because there were so many people, but they tasted very delicious!
Li Meng was very good at adjusting the atmosphere and took care of everyone. The meal was a great pleasure for both the host and the guests. Old man Liu even poured himself a glass of white wine and started drinking it!
Auntie, uncle, I'll go back first. Thank you for your hospitality today. After finishing the meal and sitting for a while, Li Meng felt that it was about time, so she stood up and prepared to go back!
It's getting dark, I'll take you there, Auntie Ma quickly stood up and prepared to take Li Meng back. Li Meng quickly took out her flashlight and waved it at Auntie Ma and said: "No need, I have this to light up the way."
Cute girl, when you have time, come to my house and have a seat. I’ll send you to the door! It's getting late, Old Man Liu said in a deep voice,
Yes, I will come here often. I am leaving now, Li Meng said to Uncle Liu with a smile.
After saying goodbye to the enthusiastic Ma family, Li Meng turned on the flashlight, shone it on the road, and went back along the same path. The night sky was full of twinkling stars. The moon was half hidden in the clouds. People went to bed early at this time. A cold breeze was blowing gently. Except for the occasional bird calls, the whole earth seemed to be asleep!
Aunt Ma stood at the door and watched Li Meng walk away. Then she returned to the yard, closed the door, and looked carefully again before returning to the room with peace of mind.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw my second son with a grin on his face. He said with a flattering smile: Mom, I think this Li Zhiqing is really good, she is generous and pretty. Does she have a boyfriend?
Looking at her second son who was smiling obscenely, Aunt Ma picked up the broom on the ground and hit her son on the butt, saying as she hit him: How dare you think about a cute girl, are you worthy? If I don’t beat you till your teeth are all but gone today, my surname is not Ma!
Seeing his second son being beaten, Old Man Liu said silently: He deserves it, you’d better beat him hard!
When they returned to the room in the Youth League Institute, Wu Ruirui was still reading. When he heard the door open, he raised his head from the book and said to Li Meng mischievously: What delicious food did you eat? Why are you back so late?
I just felt that the atmosphere was very good, so we chatted a few more sentences. "You must be engrossed in reading. Hurry up and get ready for bed. Reading at night hurts your eyes," Li Meng reminded Wu Ruirui while making the bed.
Okay, you clean up and go to bed first, I'll go to bed soon, I'm watching the exciting part right now, Wu Ruirui answered without raising his head,
After washing up and filling a hot water bottle at her feet, Li Meng went into bed and soon started playing chess with Zhou Gong.
The morning sun shone on the windowsill. Li Meng picked up the watch beside the pillow and looked at it. It was already past 6 o'clock. She stretched her head and called Wu Ruirui.
I took a nap for 5 minutes, Wu Ruirui turned over and muttered something, then went back to sleep!
Then I'll go cook first. We'll have fried cakes and soy milk this morning. You should get up early. Li Meng rubbed her eyes, got up, quickly put on her clothes, and went to the kitchen with a washbasin. There was still some hot water in the thermos, just enough for washing.
After boiling the water, Li Meng took out several generations of soy milk powder from the space, mixed it with hot water and poured it into the thermos. She also took out a few pieces of frozen scallion pancakes and pretended that they were made by herself. She had done this several times before and no one else noticed.
Li Meng started to fry eggs, put them in scallion pancakes, spread some Lao Gan Ma on the pancakes, and ate them while drinking soy milk. It was perfect.
It smells so good! Sister Meng, you got up early and made delicious food again. You have worked so hard. Zhou Hui took a deep breath as soon as he entered the kitchen. It smelled so good.
The hot water is in the big pot, use it. After washing up, you can have breakfast. Li Meng fried the last piece of scallion pancake and put it in the bowl.
Okay, I'll wash the dishes after we finish eating, Zhou Hui answered incoherently with a toothbrush in his mouth.
Are you busy? Li Zhiqing, you and Wu Zhiqing don't have to go to work this morning. I will take you to report to Sanhe Village Primary School later. Just pack up and come to the village committee to find me. I forgot to tell you last night, so I came early this morning to tell you. I'm leaving first, the team leader said as he was about to leave!
