Chapter 182: Change of face is so fast
Shen Xiaobin walked into the house nervously. Wang Guizhi had already started chatting enthusiastically with Shen Meng. Lu Qinlan and Su Xiaomei also sat beside her. The two sisters-in-law asked about Shen Meng and the children's well-being.

"Xiaolong, come here. Your aunt and uncle are here. Come over and say hello. You will be going to learn carpentry in a while, and you will have to trouble your aunt and uncle."

Xiaolong looked very shy, with two patches of highland red on his face. He walked slowly to Shen Meng's side. It was not that he was afraid of people, but his previous impression of Shen Meng was too deeply rooted, so he didn't know how to get close to her. As for Lu Zhenping, he admired her with a little fear. His uncle was not an ordinary person, he had been to the battlefield. All the friends in the village envied him for having such a powerful uncle.

"Sister-in-law, hello uncle."

"Xiaolong, you will go to your master's house after this month. If you miss home, tell your master and his wife, and they will let you come back. If you are not busy in Lujia Village, come to my aunt's house and she will make you something delicious. Is that okay?"

"Hey, thank you, aunt." After Xiaolong finished speaking, he looked at Lu Zhenping with hope, hoping to get some advice.

Lu Zhenping looked at Xiaolong, who looked like a big boy, and thought that when he went to the army, Shen Meng would also go to the county to work. When she was free, she could come home to help take care of Mingkai.

"Xiaolong, you are a grown man now. Carpentry is a craft. Once you learn it, you will earn a living for your master. Generally, apart from teaching their own children, few people pass on their skills to others. Your master is willing to accept you because your aunt has made a lot of efforts. It is not just as simple as giving some gifts. Your aunt saved the lives of your master's wife and your younger sister, and that is why your master is willing to accept you. When you go to your master, learn well and work hard. If you don't understand, ask boldly. Don't be shy or afraid. If your master is strict with you, it proves that he wants to teach you well. If he is not strict, it will harm you. When you are not busy, you should take care of your younger brothers and sisters at home and be more diligent. Do you understand?"

Shen Meng: “.”

The last sentence is so crucial, so important, and the request is so shameless!!!

Lü Qinlan, Shen Shoutian, Wang Guizhi, Shen Fugui and others were all deeply moved when they heard what Lu Zhenping said. Only a family could give such careful and thoughtful instructions. This also showed that Lu Zhenping really treated Xiaolong as his own child, which was why he said so. Otherwise, if it was someone else's uncle, he would be lucky not to criticize you.

Xiaolong was extremely excited, his face turned black and red, and his lips were trembling.

"Thank you, uncle. I understand. I will work hard and study hard. When the time comes, I will go and play with my brothers and sisters. When I am free, I will definitely not just play around. I will study hard and ask boldly."

"Good boy."

Lu Zhenping's compliment made Xiaolong so happy that he walked away with his hands and feet trembling. Shen Meng was embarrassed for a moment and didn't know how to describe her feelings at the moment. She felt that her nephew was a big fool.

After Lu Qinlan and Su Xiaomei greeted Shen Meng for a while, they hurried to prepare lunch. Wang Guizhi originally wanted to go over to help, but her two daughters-in-law said that since the sister-in-law was coming to visit relatives, they had to have a good talk with the mother and daughter, so there was no point in asking the mother-in-law to come over to help with cooking.

Shen Meng and Wang Guizhi were chatting. When Shen Xiaobin was engaged a few years ago, the family spent a lot of money. Although the bicycle and watch were paid by Shen Meng, the family still gave her some money. Wang Guizhi also recorded the money she spent on the Shen family in the notebook. Although it was all circles, she remembered it clearly. The Shen family moved to a bigger house and bought a bicycle, but they had their principles. They always believed that she was married and were afraid that she would not live well, that Lu Zhenping would have opinions, and that she would have conflicts with her parents-in-law. She accepted the help she gave, but she kept it in mind. Shen Meng understood that if the Shen family had the ability, they would definitely pay back the money, and even more.

Some of the money that was divided between Lao Hong during the Chinese New Year was used for the engagement. No, I'm afraid it also caused a lot of hunger.

Shen Meng looked at the people chatting and laughing in the house, the children playing in the yard, and the busy figures in the kitchen. They were poor, or too poor. She was thinking about things in her mind.

The two old men, Uncle Guai and Shen Fugui, were chatting enthusiastically. If Shen Xiaobin hadn't walked up to them and poured them a glass of water, interrupting them, the two of them would have already talked about what name the baby of Shen Xiaobin and Lu Xiangxiang would be named.

After warming up for a while, Shen Meng took out the gifts she brought. Uncle Guai was not a stranger, so there was no need to hide them, so she took them out one by one.

"I bought malted milk, milk powder for the elderly, egg cakes, rock sugar for my parents, brown sugar and red dates for my eldest and second sisters-in-law, and two bottles of wine. Stewed eggs with sugar are good for women's health. I also bought two silk scarves, two pieces of defective cloth, a pen and scarf for Xiaobin, hats and gloves for my eldest and second brothers, and snacks and hair ornaments for the children. Please share them with them. Oh, and the most important thing is this, New Year's money for the children, 10 cents per person."

Shen Shoutian and Shen Yutian watched Shen Meng taking things out and felt that their sister's bag was like a treasure bag and it seemed as if they could never take out all the things.

"Oh my God, you spendthrift daughter, why did you buy so many things for us? It's always like this. If you do this again next time, I won't let you in."

"Little sister, look at the big cotton shoes on my feet. I just put them on. And you bought me a hat and a scarf. They are all expensive things. How much money did they cost? Our family is in trouble now..."

"Ahem. Yutian, look at this hat your sister bought for you. It's made of fur, right? It feels so soft. The gloves are so thick and convenient to wear while working. Xiaomeng is so caring."

Shen Shoutian didn't want to blame Shen Meng, it's just that the famine at home was making people breathless. He himself didn't have much ability, and year after year, he relied on the few work points from the fields. Seeing his sister taking so many things, he felt distressed. Even if he had money, he couldn't spend it like this. His sister had four children at home, and there would be many places to spend money in the future. He wanted his sister to think more about the future.

Wang Guizhi still used the same old tricks. She was afraid that Lu Zhenping would have opinions. Her son-in-law had been good enough to their Shen family. If he kept asking for favors from the young couple, he would get tired of it one day. Then her daughter would be caught in the middle. She didn't want to see that day.

"Mom, second brother, these were bought by Xiao Meng and I. It's a good thing that she's thinking about you. It's better than some people going back to their parents' house to get money and food. You can take them. Only when you live a good life can she feel at ease."

As expected, as soon as Lu Zhenping spoke, Wang Guizhi immediately stopped talking and had a smile on her face. Although Shen Meng knew that she meant well, it was still shocking to see the old lady change her expression so quickly.
