Chapter 249 They had a fight
Lu Zhenping had to catch the bus, so he didn't tell Mingyang and the other children. When Mingyang and the other children got up, they were shocked to find that they couldn't train in the yard as usual.
Ever since they started training with Lu Zhenping, they would wake up immediately when they heard the sound of the whistle every morning, but today they actually woke up naturally after sleeping.
Several children hurriedly put on their clothes and ran out the door. Mingfang followed a few steps behind with the youngest child Mingkai. She had slept with her brother last night, and the little guy had to wake up for a long time before he was willing to get up.
Without bothering to wash up, they all stood in the yard. After waiting for a long time, no one came out. Lu Mingyang pursed his lips and walked towards the east room.
Shen Meng was cooking in the kitchen. She heard the noise, untied her apron, and chuckled as she looked at the children standing neatly.
"You've got up so early. Don't wait any longer. Your father is out and won't be back for several days. Hurry and wash your hands and get ready for dinner!"
"Ha, really, mom? Dad won't be back for several days, so I can sleep in for several days. That's great, that's great."
"Mingliang, stop talking nonsense. It's good for Dad to be at home. Otherwise, who will take care of Xiaokai? What are we going to eat for lunch?"
"Uh"
Shen Meng threw her apron and put her hand on the clothesline.
"I'll be back in a few days. Let's go to your Third Uncle's house for lunch. I've told your Third Aunt that I have to rush to the county town. I won't be working tomorrow. I'll be at home with you. You can do your homework at home. Remember to lock the door when you go out to play. I'll make you something delicious after get off work tonight."
"Okay, Mom, go to work!"
"Let's have breakfast first. I made you fried dumplings and steamed buns, and also boiled a big pot of spicy soup. If you can't finish it in the morning, take it to your uncle's house at noon to heat it up and use it as a supplement."
"okay!"
They had just smelled a burst of fragrance, how could they bear it now? The children ran straight to the basin rack in the house. Mingyang picked up the water bottle under the basin rack, poured warm water into it, and let Mingfang wash her face first, followed by Mingkai. He wet the towel and covered Mingkai's face directly. A scream of "Ah Wu" rang out, and then he took the towel and vigorously rubbed circles on her face. After washing her face, he put his hands in the warm water and pressed them for a while, washed his hands thoroughly, poured water and let Mingliang wash them.
"After washing, you should apply vanishing cream. Apply it carefully and don't waste it."
He is the eldest brother. Now that father is not at home and mother has to go to work, he is the head of the family. He must set a good example, look after his younger siblings and make sure his parents have no worries. This is what a good eldest brother should be like.
The village is still very busy. The laborers go to work. The new factory is under construction and new workers are recruited. You can sit on a stool to make the hair ornaments. Director Guo and Xie Jinghao go there early in the morning. People from the commune and the county committee come to check from time to time. No one dares to make trouble. Everything is going on as planned. Lu Debang came yesterday and said that Director Feng told him that the materials made by the provincial machinery factory will be shipped in the next two days. Even Xie Jinghao has not finished the high-end hair ornaments, so Shen Meng is still needed.
It happened to be in the bus company's room, and Shen Meng agreed to go there and make the high-end head flowers in front of everyone, and produce them as soon as possible and deliver them by the end of the month.
When they arrived at the place where Uncle Guai's ox cart was parked, Shen Meng saw that it was not only Yu Xueli who took the children to the provincial capital, but also Wu Xianglan. When she saw Shen Meng looking at her, she smiled a little embarrassedly.
"Yongqiang and Yongli have never been to the county town. I got my salary yesterday, so I thought of taking them to the county town for a stroll, having a bowl of mutton noodles, and taking a photo of them to make them happy."
"Very good. I heard that Comrade Hu Biao even gave your foreman a special heads-up to stop you from doing heavy work. Will he also give you welfare items on holidays in the future?"
Wu Xianglan's hands were shaking with excitement when talking about this. It was not a big deal. Although she was a temporary worker now, her salary was paid on time, the work was not hard, and she could enjoy the treatment of regular workers. When cleaning, she could rest whenever she wanted, as long as she cleaned up the area she was responsible for.
Look at the people in the hair flower factory, they are always mending with their heads down. Sometimes they make a mistake and have to carefully take it apart and do it again. It should be said that my sister-in-law loves her, this job is really good!
As long as she could hold on for seven or eight years, she would definitely be able to get a house in the textile factory, and by then her Yongqiang and Yongli would become city dwellers.
"This is all thanks to you, sister-in-law. If it weren't for your help, I would still be working with that bastard Lu Jiahe to earn work points. At the end of the year, I would still be out of money and get nothing. Now, as long as I work hard, I can get a salary every month, and I can also get benefits. My Yongqiang and Yongli are also eating well and wearing warm clothes. Oh, life is really getting better and better."
"That's right. I am also grateful to Xiao Meng. My life now feels like a dream. We should all be grateful and remember who gave us this life. We should not learn from those mean people who are treacherous and betrayal, like Sister Hua."
When Wu Xianglan heard this, she immediately expressed her loyalty. She was definitely not that kind of person. She was the kind of person who would remember favors, and the same was true for grudges.
"Sister-in-law, you are busy like a top all day long. You probably don't know what's going on in the village. Let me tell you something. Sister-in-law Hua used to ridicule and quarrel with her, but now she is even more outrageous. She even beats her up. Sister-in-law Hua's husband also beats her frequently now. Hey, the two of them are biting each other like dogs, and their brains are about to be beaten out. Her husband feels ashamed, but he is shameless enough to beg you. But she is being pretentious. It doesn't matter if she is being pretentious, but she loses two or three hundred yuan a year. Who can stand it?"
"Also, I heard the fourth brother and his wife arguing in the house last night. Hehehehe, I just leaned over the door to listen, and the fourth brother opened the door. I was so scared that I almost sprained my waist. But they have already started to build a house on the homestead. I guess the old woman gave them a lot of money. The old woman is really biased."
Yu Xueli knew that Zhou Jiaojiao and Shen Meng did not get along. Most of the bad things that happened to Shen Meng were related to Zhou Jiaojiao. Many times, Shen Meng just tolerated it until something happened to several children. Then she started to fight back completely.
When she was the leper's wife, she could see clearly that Zhou Jiaojiao was just a troublemaker disguised as a kind and considerate person. Many people had suffered at her hands in the past two years. Now, she has been making trouble all the time, making her own reputation in disgrace, and now she has even affected her husband's job. This is really retribution.
Shen Meng's eyes lit up. A quarrel? That's great. A quarrel between the male and female protagonists means that there is a rift in the relationship between the two. In the end, it would be best if the two sides end up biting each other.
She covered her fierce eyes and waited for two more years. As long as Zhou Jiaojiao gave birth to two children, it would be fine. Just two. Those two little beasts in their previous life had tortured Mingfang's children a lot. How could she not teach them a lesson!
