Chapter 20 My mother smells so good

Xie Jinghao just smiled awkwardly after hearing what she said. As a sister-in-law, she definitely did not instigate her brother and sister-in-law to separate. However, she thought it was a good thing that Shen Meng had this idea in mind. After all, the only thing left to do was to break the window paper. Anyway, she stopped at that point and did not say anything else on this topic.

Lu Mingkai pushed the enamel cup. He had already taken several sips and wanted his sister to have a sip as well. The brown sugar water was sweet and delicious.

When he wanted to push towards Lu Mingfang, he felt a little scared and looked up at Shen Meng and Xie Jinghao.

"Mingfang, have a couple of sips, then give some to your aunt." Shen Meng looked at Lu Mingfang gently. The little girl glanced at her and took the cup without knowing why. She thought her mother's smile was so beautiful that it made people feel warm in their hearts.

Shen Meng looked at the two children. Lu Mingfang had dry yellow hair and was wearing tattered clothes. The shoes on her feet were still soaked with cotton wool, and her big toe was exposed. It was obvious that the shoes were worn from winter to summer.

On the other hand, although Lu Mingkai didn't have much flesh on his body, he was clean and tidy, and you could tell at a glance that he was well taken care of. Shen Meng thought about Lu Mingyang and Lu Mingliang, and she knew that the little guy was taken care of by his older brothers and sisters. She was very pleased with this kind of brotherly friendship, which proved that the control group of the male and female protagonists' children were still good kids and had not gone astray.

"Hello Jing, I have something I want to ask you for help with. You know I'm not very good at sewing. I got a piece of cloth a while ago and wanted to make a winter coat for Mingfang. I have some cotton in stock. Can you help me see if it's enough?"

As Shen Meng spoke, she stood up and took out the piece of green cloth with big peony flowers that she had shown Lu Mingfang before from the kang cabinet. She then got off the kang and took out a bag of cotton from the closet. Of course, this cotton was taken out from the space under the cover. It was authentic Xinjiang cotton.

"Oh my God, there is so much cotton. How could you have come here?"

It’s no wonder that Xie Jing was so surprised. If she had known that Shen Meng had such a good thing, Liu Sanjin, the mother-in-law, would not have let her take it away and would have allowed her to keep it until now.

"I bought the cloth with the coupons their father sent me, and then I slowly saved up cotton. Mingfang is a girl, and other girls her age have clothes to wear out, but my daughter doesn't have anything. I felt bad about it, so I saved up for a long time, but I didn't tell the children, because I was afraid that by the time I didn't have enough, they would be happy for nothing."

Lu Mingfang looked at Shen Meng in surprise, she had never thought that what she said before about making clothes for her was actually true. When she moved, she returned the cloth to her bad mother and didn't even dare to touch it. Now her mother actually asked her third aunt to make clothes for her. The cloth was very soft and there was white cotton. She didn't know how long it took her mother to save so much. I heard that some families with daughters start saving since they were young so that they can buy two decent quilts when they get married.

"mother"

Shen Meng looked at Lu Mingfang's eyes which were wet with tears, raised her hand and rubbed her head gently. Although she really wanted to pull her into her arms and kiss her, the little girl was obviously a little afraid of her, and excessive intimacy would scare the child.

Seeing that Shen Meng knew how to love the child, Xie Jinghao was happy for the child and immediately expressed her willingness to help.

"Okay, I'll leave this job to you. With the extra fabric, please make another pair of cotton shoes for Mingfang. When I feel better, I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative over there to see if there's any fabric left. I'll make a set for the boys as well. You can keep the extra fabric to make a pair of small shoes for the child. The due date is probably in December!"

"Yes, at the end of December, sister-in-law, you are so kind. Take good care of the children and live a good life with brother. Everything will be fine in the future. As for making clothes for you, I think I should come to your house. I am pregnant now and don't need to go to work. I will be free after I finish the housework."

Shen Meng naturally knew what she meant. If the cloth and cotton were taken to Old Lu's house, could they be returned? "Okay, then I'll thank you first. Xiaogang is still young, so I'll bring him over to play with Mingkai."

"Okay, sister-in-law, you take a rest, I'll go back."

Shen Meng didn't let her leave immediately. She handed her the brown sugar water that Lu Mingfang had taken a few sips of, and watched her finish it before letting her go.

After Xie Jinghao left, only the mother and her two daughters were left in the room. It was actually very awkward at this time, especially for Shen Meng. Although she had fantasized about having children before, it was definitely not the case now. After all, these two children had suffered a lot from the original owner. If she was too enthusiastic, it might arouse suspicion. Lu Mingyang in the original book was very shrewd.

"Mingfang, good boy, I haven't done well in the past few years. You, Mingyang and Mingliang have taken good care of Mingkai. Thank you. Xiaokai, you must remember the kindness of your brothers and sisters. When you have the ability in the future, you must repay them, understand?"

Lu Mingfang lowered her head, tears falling down. Lu Mingkai looked at the woman who spoke softly, and couldn't help but stretch out his little hand.

"mother."

Shen Meng reached out and held Lu Mingkai in her arms, rubbing her chin gently against the top of his head.

"Hey, son, mom is here!"

Taking advantage of this warm atmosphere, Shen Meng freed one hand and gently embraced Lu Mingfang.

Lu Mingkai grew up with his older brothers and sisters and was rarely held in the original owner's arms. When he went out to play, he saw some children lying on their mothers' shoulders, with their little butts being gently patted. He was extremely envious when he saw them.

Now he was also in his mother's arms. The little guy couldn't help but move closer and took a deep breath. His mother's body was so fragrant and soft. It felt so good to be held in his mother's arms. He couldn't help but "hehe" twice.

Lu Mingfang leaned against Shen Meng with her lips tightly pursed. She wanted to get closer but didn't dare. In short, she felt that this afternoon was just like a dream.

Lu Mingyang and Lu Mingliang, who went out to collect firewood, were carrying the firewood on their backs and walking towards home. There were only Mingfang and Xiaokai at home, and there was a bad woman who could beat people at any time. They were very worried.

After entering the house, they threw the firewood on the ground and hurriedly ran to the west room. They didn't see anyone on the kang, and both of them were panicked. They quickly ran to the east room. In just a few steps, Lu Mingliang had imagined the miserable state of his younger brother and sister in his mind.

When the two men ran into the east room with pale faces, they saw their younger brother and sister being held in the arms of their stepmother. It looked very warm. They looked at each other and suddenly thought they had seen a ghost.
