Chapter 104 See Your Own Heart
Shen Meng's face lit up and she replied, "This is a good thing!"
"Yes, the girl's mother and your sisters-in-law have all met her. She is tall, nimble, and a good worker. Most importantly, she is pretty and sweet-spoken. She is a perfect match for your brother. The two children like her too and are waiting to get engaged once the house is built!"
"What mom said is true. Xiaomei and I also went with them. Xiaobin smiled foolishly as soon as he saw the girl. She is a very honest girl."
Lu Qinlan was genuinely happy when she said this. The family had built a house, and would arrange Xiaobin's marriage in the future. The next step would be to earn work points well and repay the family's hunger. Then, she could live a stable life.
Shen Meng is happy as long as the Shen family lives well.
The lunch was also simple. Lu Qinlan held a spoon to serve the dishes, and Su Xiaomei made steamed buns. It was a simple pot of stew, and everyone was sweating and satisfied after eating it.
The most important thing about going to the Shen family today is to give money to buy bricks and tiles. Wang Guizhi felt distressed when she saw Lu Zhenping helping the Shen family with work. Her son-in-law had been a soldier for so many years and finally came home. He should seize the time and live a good life with his daughter. It would be best if Xiaomeng could get pregnant again this time so that the two of them could have more children.
The Shen family was building a house, and their daughter and son-in-law contributed both money and effort. If it were someone else's family, they would be so happy. However, Wang Guizhi and Shen Fugui felt ashamed that they were being dragged down by the need to build their own house.
Not long after dinner, they chased the family away, leaving the house in a mess, with no place for them to even take a nap.
It was just past two o'clock when the family returned home. Shen Meng washed her hands and face, and prepared to hug her youngest son to go to sleep. Lu Zhenping also wanted to do so, but before he could catch up with his wife, Lu Jiasheng came carrying a hoe. He walked up to Lu Zhenping with a flattering face.
"Brother, my homestead is covered with weeds. Let's go and clean it up together. After we lay the foundation, we can quickly build the house. Oh, by the way, I listened to the brigade's broadcast. It's been sunny recently, so it won't delay building the house."
Lu Zhenping: “.”
Shen Meng, who was holding Mingkai's hand, turned around, looked at him, snorted, and went back to the house.
They worked until the evening. Lu Jiasheng got a cigarette from somewhere and handed it to Lu Zhenping.
"Brother, go back. I can handle the rest by myself. It's getting late. Go back and have dinner!"
Lu Zhenping took the cigarette but didn't light it. He glanced at him and threw the hoe into his arms, "You coward."
"Hey hey hey"
Lu Zhenping ignored him and did not go home. He went to the middle of the mountain and came to an old tree. He wiped his cigarette with his hand, then sat down, took off the cigarette from his ear, lit it with a match, and slowly started smoking.
"Cough cough. Cough cough cough."
Maybe it was because the cigarette had been stored for too long and was a little damp. He took a deep puff and choked so much that tears came out.
Lu Zhenping sat under the old tree, looking at the moon rising gradually in the distance. After coming back this time, he felt that the sadness in his heart seemed to have been washed away a lot.
After he grew up, he finally understood who the woman he had seen by chance when he was five years old was, and why his parents were always so indifferent to him. They always had smiles on their faces, but he couldn't feel a bit of warmth. The only place that made him feel that he had a goal, a motivation to move forward, and a positive life was the army, which was the place that suited him.
He felt that he had always been a lonely wolf, and finally found his own tribe. He fell in love with the days in the army and met Squad Leader Zhou, a good squad leader who cared for him, loved him and helped him. He said to himself that when he was on the battlefield, he would block every bullet for himself as long as he didn't get ahead of him. This was the advice from the veteran to the new recruits.
War is cruel. Squad Leader Zhou died before him. His lover could not bear the blow and died, leaving two lives behind. Poor Mingyang was sent to the care of his uncles and aunts, and then transferred to relatives, and finally to an orphanage, where there were many children left by martyrs. When he went to pick up Mingyang, the child was reluctant to leave and held Mingliang and Mingfang tightly.
He couldn't free himself, so he had to take them all home. What was the difference between Mingliang, Mingfang and Mingyang? They were all descendants of martyrs and were already respected. At the beginning, the children were too young and he couldn't take care of them well.
He often had to go on missions, so his sister-in-law in the military compound helped take care of the child for a while. Gradually, he felt that this was not a good way to go, so he had to send the child back home and promised to give him pension money as long as he took good care of the child.
But after a long time, he was still worried. Ma Xiang said that he still had to marry a wife, because the child would be fine with a mother.
When Shen Meng married him, he could tell at a glance that this girl had something to ask for. It was good to have something to ask for. He was not stingy with his allowance, as long as the child was taken good care of. He felt that he did not deserve a warm family. He was a product of love and infatuation. Bai Shuyun, the person who claimed to be his mother, Lu Zhenping could not understand her behavior, and even found her decision to give birth to him absurd.
But such a girl who wanted something suddenly changed her personality, which made him a little confused. He had not been back for long, but he felt like he had known her for a long time. The feeling of cherishing each other was as if it had existed in his previous life. He was irresistibly attracted to her and he wanted her.
This feeling developed quickly, unlike in the past. He could see what Shen Meng meant yesterday, but he didn't take any action. He wanted to check his own heart again.
The moon rose higher and higher. Lu Zhenping finished smoking the cigarette in his hand and touched the tree again. This was his old friend. When he was unhappy in the past, he would often run to stay under the tree. He thought that he would never come here again in the future.
When he was about to leave, he suddenly heard a rustling sound and stopped abruptly.
Shen Meng waited for Lu Zhenping for a long time at home, so she had to cook for herself and made a pot of stewed noodles. She coaxed the children to finish eating, asked them to wash up, and then went to do their homework.
She took advantage of the fact that the children were in the house and Lu Zhenping had not come back yet, and immediately entered the space.
I found a steak, poured a glass of Bordeaux red wine, turned on the TV, and watched a movie while thinking about delicious food.
After eating and drinking my fill, I could only sigh, “How cool is it!”
Just after washing up and leaving the space, the courtyard door was pushed open, and Lu Zhenping walked in dragging a big object in one hand. Shen Meng hurriedly sat over.
"What is this?"
It was too dark to see clearly, so Lu Zhenping made a "hush" sound, signaling her not to speak. After Shen Meng waited for him to enter the yard, she quickly closed the gate.
When I got to the main room, I saw that they were clearly two goats.
