Chapter 23 Climbing the Pole
Shen Meng looked at Lu Mingkai, who was still a little timid, and waved at him.

"Mingkai, come here."

Lu Mingkai paused, then slowly moved towards her. Although he was still a little scared, the blood relationship and the desire to be close to his mother made him very eager.

"mother."

Shen Meng got off the kang, stretched out her hands and took him in her arms and sat sideways on the kang. The three-year-old child felt a little uncomfortable when she put him on her lap because he was too thin. She touched Lu Mingkai's hair.

"Mingkai, I just asked about dinner. Are you hungry?"

Lu Mingkai nestled in his mother's arms, smelling the fragrance, and felt a little dizzy.

"Mom, I'm not hungry, I just asked, the food you cook is really delicious, I want to eat more of your cooking."

"Okay, mom will cook for you later and make Mingkai plump and white like a pig, okay?"

"Hey, hey, good, mom, you're so nice."

"Silly boy."

The mother and daughter were being affectionate in the house, while Lu Mingyang outside was struck by lightning. The bad woman said Ming Kai was like a pig. What did that mean? Did it mean that when Kai grows up, he would be sold?
He was terrified and looked at Shen Meng with a sinister look. If the bad woman dared to sell Mingkai out, he would fight her.

In the evening, Lu Jiaxuan and Zhou Jiaojiao were assigned to deliver lunch to Shen Meng as soon as they got home from work. There was a small pot of stir-fried vegetables with five steamed buns on it, and a small pot of corn noodle dumpling soup. When the two of them brought it over, there were many people who were off work on the way home. They kept looking at them when they smelled the aroma.

"Oh, what delicious food, so fragrant."

"The food is so good in the evening, you are worthy of being a surplus grain household, you still have dinner in the evening!"

Zhou Jiaojiao heard someone asking and said with a smile: "How can that be possible? This is the meal for my sister-in-law and Mingyang. It was sent back right after it was prepared at home. We just ate something casually when we got home. My sister-in-law is not well yet!"

After Zhou Jiaojiao finished replying, she said to Lu Jiaxuan, "Hurry up, my sister-in-law and the children must be hungry. I still have to do laundry when I get home. I have so much to do!"

Lu Jiaxuan's face turned a little grim when he heard her words. His wife worked like a slave while his sister-in-law had to wait for food to be delivered to the door. He frowned, said nothing, and walked faster.

"What can I say? I heard in the afternoon that the Lu family didn't send meals to the Zhenping family. I saw it when I got off work. It must be fake. Aunt Sanjin is such a good person, how could she not send meals!"

"I said no. Maybe it was because I sent it too late. Shen Meng was unhappy and said bad things. I have never seen such a daughter-in-law. Jiaojiao was busy all afternoon and her work points were almost the same as those of a heavy laborer. After work, she still had to send food to her sister-in-law. It was really pitiful."

"Jiaojiao is such a good daughter-in-law. Jiaxuan is so lucky. Fortunately, Jiaxuan is capable and can get three yuan salary every month, so Jiaojiao can enjoy some happiness with her."

"Shen Meng is not the only one who enjoys happiness. He lives in a big house with blue bricks and tiles, and his brothers and their wives bring him food. Look at how he lives. What a good life!"

“Capitalist style”

Shen Meng came out of the west room with a dark face. There was not even a decent piece of clothing in the children's closets. Not only were there patches on top of patches, but they were all dirty. You could tell at a glance that they washed it themselves. In the afternoon, she held Mingkai for a while and smelled that he was smelly and his head was dirty. She was busy coaxing him at noon and didn't pay attention to these. Lu Mingkai, who was well taken care of by the children, was like this, not to mention Mingyang and the others.

Lu Mingyang and the others watched Shen Meng walk around and go to her room, then her face changed. They became nervous for no reason. Just when Lu Mingyang was about to run away if she made a move, Shen Meng let out a long sigh.

"Mingyang, help Mingliang to boil a pot of hot water. Mommy will give you a bath in the evening. It's so hot, you have to take a bath. When I held Mingkai in my arms this afternoon, the little guy was stinking of sweat."

"Okay, Mom." No matter what, he had to agree to her now, Lu Mingyang thought.

When Lu Mingkai was called, his face flushed with shyness. Lu Mingfang was also a little embarrassed. He subconsciously shrunk his neck and smelled himself. Hmm, it smelled a little bad. Only Lu Mingliang didn't care. He thought it was a masculine smell.

"Sister-in-law, Jiaxuan and I are here to bring food to you and the child. Can you come in?" Zhou Jiaojiao shouted loudly at the door.

"Come in, the door is unlocked."

As Zhou Jiaojiao entered the room carrying the vegetable basin, she saw Shen Meng standing at the door of the main room, with several children standing in a row in front of her.

"Oh, sister-in-law, what are you doing? Mingyang and his family are good kids. This afternoon, the two children went back and forth several times to collect firewood for the family. Everyone saw it. No matter what, you can't do anything!" Zhou Jiaojiao hurriedly advised.

The door was not closed tightly when they came in, and the villagers passing by began to stop and look around after listening to Zhou Jiaojiao's words.

"What are you talking about, Jiaojiao? I was just telling the kids that it was too hot and asked them to boil some hot water for a bath at night, and you guys came over. They are so well behaved. God must have been merciful to give me such good kids. How could I hit them?"

The people outside listened to Shen Meng's words, felt that they were boring, and turned away.

So what if it's the male and female protagonists? She has a golden finger, she is not afraid of the male and female protagonists, she has never thought of avoiding them. After all, she promised the original owner that the instigator and the vested interests must pay back what they owe.

Zhou Jiaojiao paused for a moment, turned to look at Lu Jiaxuan and said, "I misunderstood. Jiaxuan, quickly put the meal on the table. Sister-in-law made the meal today, and mother specially asked Auntie San to cook eggs for you. Sister-in-law, please eat it quickly to replenish your body."

Shen Meng looked at the food on the table, smiled and nodded. It seemed that Liu Sanjin had really invested a lot of money. The vegetables were fried with a lot of oil, which was probably the amount of oil used by the Lu family for several days.

"Thank you, mother. Jiaojiao, Jiaxuan, have you eaten yet? Why don't we eat together?"

"No, sister-in-law, we'll go back now. There are still a lot of things to do at home. Sister-in-law, if you need anything at home, just tell me. If I can help, I'll do it for you."

"I'm so sorry. If Jiaojiao and you guys are not busy, can you help Mingyang boil some hot water? He is a child who can light the fire at night. I'm afraid he will wet the kang. This gives me a headache. I can't even wash the clothes they took off after taking a bath. Alas, I am useless."

Lu Mingyang: “.”

I peed on the bed? I was nine years old and I peed on the bed???
Zhou Jiaojiao just wanted to be polite before leaving, but she didn't expect Shen Meng to climb up the pole. She froze for a moment, then said, "Okay, Jiaxuan, help Mingyang boil some hot water. Sister-in-law, keep the dirty clothes, I'll come get them tomorrow."

Lu Jiaxuan looked at the amiable Zhou Jiaojiao and felt sorry for his wife who was being bullied. He frowned and was about to refuse, but suddenly he remembered that when he went to work, Sun Shanzi mentioned that the commune was recruiting staff. He thought for a moment and closed his mouth silently.
