Chapter 156 I Won't Let You Down

Lu Changhong only has his mother at home. He carried two pheasants and a wild rabbit, and asked for thirty kilograms of wild boar meat. He hurried back home while it was late at night. Lu Jiasheng rubbed his hands, feeling very embarrassed. He did not contribute much, especially this wild boar, which was basically caught by Changhong and his elder brother. He had a huge harvest today. He did not dare to divide the family before, for fear that he could not make ends meet. He did not expect that he and Jinghao could live such a good life.

He carried a pheasant, three hares and a pork leg and hurried home at night. His heart was warm and his steps were brisk. He could imagine how happy Jinghao would be if she saw them.

"Xiao Bin, there are so many left. I'll give you a front leg. You can cut the meat and ribs here as you like. You can also take the hare and pheasant as you like."

"Thank you, brother-in-law. I won't take the pheasant. Just take two rabbits. One for my family and one for Xiangxiang's family. I'll keep the front legs for myself. I'll cut 30 kilograms of meat, 15 kilograms for Xiangxiang's family and 15 kilograms for my family."

Lu Zhenping didn't say anything, but after Shen Xiaobin finished cutting the meat, he chopped a few more ribs for him.

"Be more open and generous. There is no such thing as too much good stuff. You have to let Xiangxiang's parents know that you can make Xiangxiang live a good life. Also, this courtyard is smelly and it's getting late. You should send Xiangxiang home quickly. The sooner you go, the sooner you can come back. Your sister needs you for something!"

"Hey, thank you, brother-in-law!"

Shen Xiaobin now admires and adores Lu Zhenping and thinks he is a really good mentor in life. He not only taught him how to hunt game, but also taught him how to please his mother-in-law and father-in-law.

He found a bag and stuffed pheasants, rabbits, and about ten pounds of meat and ribs into it. He carried the sack and walked out with Lu Xiangxiang. He looked so proud and confident that Lu Xiangxiang could hardly keep up with him.

There was still a lot of meat left, so Shen Meng asked him to cut some and send it to A'man and Yu Xueli, and told him to do with the rest himself. If he didn't send it away, he could chop some cypress branches tomorrow, smoke it, and keep it at home to eat whenever he wanted.

Lu Zhenping stored all the remaining meat in a sand jar in the yard. As for the rabbits and pheasants, he found a rope and dropped them on the beam. He was thinking of giving some of these things to the village secretary He and Director Guo, but he had no plans to give them to anyone else.

Shen Xiaobin went to Lu Xiangxiang's house and came back after a while. He washed his face and feet with hot water, went to the room to play with He Mingyang and Mingliang for a while. When he heard the door open, he knew Lu Zhenping had entered the room, so he knocked on the door and went to find Shen Meng.

Seeing her brother coming back looking so radiant, she was not welcome at all. This guy secretly pulled Lu Xiangxiang's hand while it was late at night and everyone was asleep.

"Sister, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Well, take a look at this."

Shen Xiaobin took the thing handed over by Shen Meng, looked at it again and again, and then opened his eyes wide.

"A notification letter from the textile factory, sister, aren't you going to work as a conductor at the bus company?"

Shen Meng nodded and explained the whole story of why this thing came into being.

"I have a job now, and your brother-in-law also has an allowance, so I don't need this anymore. I'm just giving it to you. If you work hard in the future, you can make life better for our family. Besides, if you have a proper job, Uncle Guai and Aunt Juying will value you more. Maybe if you stand in front of them, they will give their daughter to you directly."

"Sister, if you really give me this thing, I don't have the money to buy this job. Also, don't you discuss this with your brother-in-law and his parents?"

"No, I have the final say. Your brother-in-law also agrees. You should work hard in the factory and don't embarrass me. Besides work, if you have time to read more books, it will be good for you. I have already got my elementary school diploma. Teacher Zheng said that he will recommend me to go to junior high school. You should also work harder for your parents, Xiangxiang, and our Shen family. Try harder."

Shen Xiaobin's eyes were a little red. His sister and brother-in-law had done so much for him, so he couldn't let them down.

"Don't worry, sister. I will read more books when I get back. I will borrow the books Mingyang has studied and take them home to read. I will definitely do my best and will not let you and your brother-in-law down."

Lu Zhenping watched Shen Xiaobin wipe his eyes as he left, and he just felt that it was unbearable to watch. "Xiao Meng, don't you have two places? What are you going to do with the other one?"

Shen Meng smiled and said, "Don't worry, I can use this."

The next morning, Lu Zhenping carried three strips of meat to the homes of several village cadres. Zhang Hongfa took the opportunity to invite him to his home for dinner. Lu Zhenping's eyebrows moved. He had originally intended to do so. When he was not at home, Shen Meng and the children needed someone to take care of them. Since Zhang Hongfa, the branch secretary, had invited him so kindly, he could not refuse his invitation.

Zhang Hongfa and Lu Debang not only invited Lu Zhenping, but also prepared an extra table of food and asked Shen Meng to bring a few children to eat together. In order to take care of her, they also asked their mother to find a few sisters-in-law to accompany her.

Shen Meng was sweet-talker and soon she had everyone at the table completely at a loss. Lu Zhenping would give her a doting smile from time to time.

Zhang Hongfa saw this and raised his glass to gesture towards him.

"Zhenping, come here, I'll toast you. We haven't seen each other for many years. It's not easy for you to come back, but you're always busy. Now we can finally get together, let's go one by one."

"I should toast to you. I am in the army. Many things at home are thanks to you village cadres. Xiao Meng told me that our brick house and children go to school. Many things have been helped by you. I won't say anything else. It's all in the wine. Come on!"

Lu Zhenping's words made Zhang Hongfa and Lu Debang blush. They had no intention of helping at first, as they wanted their children to have a good future.

However, both of them felt that their favorable impression of Shen Meng was growing rapidly.

"Speaking of which, Zhenping, you are doing so well now, do you plan to keep doing it?"

When the topic came to this, everyone at the table looked at him nervously, especially the two young boys. They had been looking forward to this meal for a long time, and this was the only question they wanted to ask.

"The army has plans, and a soldier's duty is to obey orders. I personally have a lot of feelings for the army. Whether in the army or in the local area, as long as I can contribute to the country, it means I am valuable."

Zhang Hongfa: “…”

You don’t have any definite information at all!!!

"Brother Zhenping, is the army still recruiting? Is there any news?"

Lu Zhenping looked at the hopeful faces and chuckled, "Leaking military information will be punished. Didn't we say we were just catching up? You're making me make a mistake!"

"No, no, Brother Zhenping, that's not what we meant, that's it."

Zhang Hongfa glared at his brother and quickly tried to smooth things over, "Hey, Zhenping, don't bother with him. This brat has been taking you as his role model since he was young. When he saw you join the army, he thought about when he could join the army, too. He was so eager to join the army that he went crazy. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Eat your food, eat your food."

Lu Zhenping took a few bites of food and said quietly, "It's a good thing to want to join the army and defend your country. Wait for two years, maybe you will get a letter."

He had wine and food in his mouth and spoke vaguely, but Zhang Hongfa, who was sitting next to him, still understood what he meant, and his hands were shaking with excitement.
