Chapter 16: Just in time to separate the family
Chapter 16 It’s time to separate the family
Wang Guizhi looked at Shen Meng and couldn't refuse. She put the money and tickets in her pocket, chuckled and said: "Okay, okay, mother knows that you are filial, so I will take the money. Mother won't spend it." , save it for you. If you have no money, go home and ask your mother for it. Seeing you like this, your mother will know that there is nothing wrong with your health. Your father and I will go back. If anything happens, we will go home. Find me and your dad!”
Shen Meng felt slightly sad, turned around and nodded gently.
"I understand, Mom. When I get better, I will go home to see you in a while. While the sun is not shining brightly, you and Dad should leave early. Don't worry about me. I'm fine!"
Wang Guizhi took Shen Meng's hand and patted it. She didn't say anything else. She knew how to live her life well when her children were older. If they talked too much, the children would get annoyed. Now she and the old man were in good spirits. If Meng doesn't understand anything, they will help him.
After the old couple left, the four children took the opportunity to run away. They didn't want to be with Shen Meng, especially looking at Shen Meng's condition, they were afraid that they might not die for a while.
She was alone at home and happened to wander around the brick house for a while.
There are three brick houses with a main room. The one on the east side is the largest and is the bedroom of Shen Meng and Lu Zhenping. There are two rooms on the west side, one for several boys and one for Lu Mingfang. Before that, there was a kitchen in the adobe house, a firewood shed in the adobe house, and another one that was empty. The yard was not too small, and there was a sycamore tree in the open space. Shen Meng looked back and could build a fence around the sycamore tree. , you can also plant some vegetables and fruits or build a chicken coop.
Previously, Lu Zhenping thought that Lu Mingfang, a girl, would have her own house when she grew up. Although the house was not big, he built a set of cabinets for this little daughter and kept the small room clean. However, after he left, Shen Meng directly moved several children to live in a house. The good things were locked in their own room, and the food was locked in the closet. The children often went out to look for food when they were hungry.
She was not happy when someone outside helped her children. She felt that others were deliberately making fun of her, and she would often criticize and beat her children.
Shen Meng looked at the yard while recalling the plot. When Lu Zhenping first built this house, Liu Sanjin disagreed. She wanted to build a new adobe house in the old yard for the big house and his family to live in. The money saved could be used for the old house. It would be best for her to keep the remaining money for yard repairs.
Lu Zhenping didn't agree. He had been a soldier for many years and was very good at intimidating people with a slight change of attitude. In the end, Lu Changzhu decided that it was okay to build a house, but it couldn't be too far away or too big, so as not to make other brothers feel uncomfortable.
Shen Meng didn't know what to feel uncomfortable about. If you have the ability, you can build a house yourself.
There is food at home, but there are no vegetables at all. Yesterday Tian Guihua brought some dried vegetables. She looked at them and found that they were some shepherd's purse, bracken, purslane and so on dug in the spring. She is still "sick" to the outside world. In a "heavy" state, you can't go out to pick vegetables in high spirits.
There is some in the space, but she can't take it out in a big way!
Shen Meng was a little worried.
Just as I was thinking about making some dried vegetables and eating noodles for lunch, there was a knock on the courtyard door, and Tian Guihua came over with a basket.
"Is Ming Yang Mingliang at home? Madam is here. Can you come in?"
"Sister-in-law, please come in. The door is unlocked. Mingyang Mingliang is not at home. He has gone out." Shen Meng said suddenly and weakly while holding on to the door frame.
When Tian Guihua heard that Shen Meng was talking to her, she quickly opened the door and came. She looked at Shen Meng's sick look and quickly put the basket on the ground. "God, why did you go to the ground? Aren't your children at home?"
"I'm fine, sister-in-law. I can already walk around. I've been taking the medicine prescribed by Dr. Lu. I just have a headache. Why are you here at this time? Didn't you go to work?"
Tian Guihua held Shen Meng's arm, and the two of them entered the main room together. After sitting down, Tian Guihua said: "It's not that your mother didn't worry about you when she left. She came to my house and asked me to take care of you. I gave it back to you." I have a dollar. Look at my aunt, she is really a perfect person. I will put this money here for you. I told you yesterday that you are my sister. Where can I get your money? It's a coincidence. I didn't go to work today and was cleaning up my plot. I moved back here just thinking about you. I decided that I didn't have any vegetables at home, so I brought a basket with me. There are plenty of cucumbers, beans, etc. in the vegetable patch. If you don't have enough to eat. , let Mingyang pick it again."
Tian Guihua is a cheerful person. Her brother-in-law said that she wanted to have a good relationship with Shen Meng and treat her son well, so she came over in a hurry. At first, it was really because of her son, but now she has really developed a good relationship with Shen Meng. thoughts.
"Thank you so much, sister-in-law. I just got up and walked around for a while. I really don't have any leaves at home. Why did you give so much? It's enough for several days."
"What's here? It's found in everyone's vegetable garden. It's not a rare thing. You can just eat it. Looking at your energy now, it's obviously much better than yesterday."
Shen Meng smiled and said, "No, otherwise Dr. Lu is the most powerful doctor in our commune. His medical skills are so good."
Tian Guihua also said some kind words to Lu Changhong. Lu Changhong, who was reporting at the commune, sneezed three times in a row. When he rubbed his nose, he always felt like someone was scolding him.
Tian Guihua didn't stay long. There was still a lot of work to be done in the fields. Before she left, she said to Shen Meng: "Sister, if there is any work at home that you can't do, tell your sister-in-law and she will help you do it. Why don't you do this?" You have to take care of yourself. If the old Lu family won't let you come to eat, you can ask Mingyang to cook something and you and your family can eat together. If that doesn't work, I'll ask Wenxiu to come over and cook something for you."
"It's okay, sister-in-law, it's not difficult to eat. The old Lu family shouldn't be deprived of food. Besides, the family has not been separated. If we really don't provide food, the family will be separated. From now on, our mothers will be locked up. It’s good to come and live on your own.”
Tian Guihua opened her mouth and looked at Shen Meng in surprise. After thinking about it, who doesn't want to live as a couple behind closed doors? When she was young, she dreamed about it every day, but now that her son is getting married, she actually wants to have a family. Tian Guihua shook her head, she was not Liu Sanjin's partial mother-in-law.
"Xing Xiao Meng, you rest at home, I'll go back first."
"good."
Tian Guihua brought a lot of dishes, and she put them all in the closet. The one-person-high closet was very empty, except for a few bowls and chopsticks. Wang Guizhi took them from the Lu family's kitchen yesterday. Liu Sanjin stared at her for this. Looked at it several times.
Shen Meng found a clean sand basin in the kitchen and put two handfuls of handmade noodles in it. The side dishes and soup base were also ready-made, all in large bowls, waiting to be cooked at home for lunch.
She was sure that the Lu family would never ask her to go to dinner.
