Chapter 278 Their Good Life Is Better Than Anything Else

The lorries, trucks and tractors that were going to the county to provide disaster relief were rushing towards the disaster area in a mighty manner. The red slogans on the bodies of the vehicles were extremely eye-catching. Everyone who passed by knew that Ning County was providing disaster relief to the southern region. When passing the national highway of the provincial capital, the news was also spread.

Shen Meng did not participate in the subsequent events. She was now busy with the wedding of Shen Xiaobin and Lu Xiangxiang. The two families had been preparing for the couple's wedding for several months and wanted to complete it when Lu Zhenping's home visit leave ended.

Shen Xiaobin's new house is the most spacious in the Shen family. There are two brand new mahogany cabinets stacked on the kang, and next to them is a new kang table. The furniture with thirty-six legs makes the house extremely warm.

Shen Fugui and Wang Guizhi would go to the house together early every day to check on anything that needed to be purchased, and work together to make their youngest son's wedding a beautiful one.

Shen Meng had helped buy a bicycle, a watch, and a radio before, and now she got a sewing machine. All the three machines have now been moved to Lu Xiangxiang's home.

Aunt Juying was so happy when she saw the house filled with betrothal gifts that she couldn't stop smiling. She and a few other aunts made quilts on the straw mats at home.

Lu Xiangxiang didn't go to work either, she was sewing shoe soles at the door of the main hall.

"Have you heard? The family your Xiangxiang mentioned before is now living in chaos. I heard that the mother-in-law of that family is sweet on the outside but cruel on the inside. A good girl married into the family, but she was tortured so badly that no one in the village believed her. Hey, the poor girl almost jumped into the river."

"I don't know. I haven't heard of it. These days, I've been busy preparing things for Xiangxiang's wedding. I'm afraid that something has not been done well. I don't have time to listen to other people's gossip."

"That's true. But your Xiangxiang is really lucky. She and Xiaomeng are like a pair of trousers in our village. Now that she is married to her brother, she won't have to suffer any hardship in the future. You and Laoguai can finally rest assured."

Zhu Juying smiled, feeling very happy. She could find such a good marriage for Xiangxiang, and she would wake up smiling even in her dreams. It was said that Shen Xiaobin gave her the job in the textile factory so that the couple could have a better life in the future.

A stable job. If you buy it, you will have to pay at least three to five thousand yuan. Xiao Meng gave it to her, and her family didn't know how to repay her. Unexpectedly, Xiang Xiang got a job as a team leader in a hair flower factory. Now that she doesn't have to go to the hair flower factory anymore, she can earn wages in the non-staple food workshop. These are all good places!

"Of course, who would have thought of this? Hey, the Shen family has prepared so many things for Xiangxiang, Laoguai and I can't be vague. I plan to let Xiangxiang take all the betrothal gifts, and the bedding and clothes and so on must be fully prepared for the child. The young couple will have a good life in the future. My heart is sweeter than eating honey!"

"If my girl could be as lucky as you, Xiangxiang, I would wake up laughing in my dreams. I would just not sleep at all."

Lu Xiangxiang felt very shy when she heard this. She thought back to more than half a year ago when she was living a miserable life. Unexpectedly, things turned out well and she could achieve such a great success. If it weren't for the help of Sister Meng, she would probably still be quarreling with Huang Maochun every day!

"Xiangxiang, is Xiangxiang at home?"

"Hey, Xiao Meng, come in quickly, Xiang Xiang is at home!"

Shen Meng came over with Xiao Kai and a basket in her hand. Zhu Juying quickly put down the needle and thread in her hand and went into the house with her. Lu Xiangxiang also took out an apple from the cupboard and handed it to Ming Kai. She also poured a glass of water for Shen Meng, but knowing that she didn't like brown sugar water, she didn't put any in it for her.

"Sister-in-law, have some water." "Hey, don't bother. I came here just to see if there's anything missing so I can help buy some things."

"No, no, the date has been set. Several old sisters in the courtyard can help cook and steam buns. I have asked the village chief to order 50 kilograms of pork from the meat processing factory, so that everyone can eat meat when the time comes."

The ladies who were helping to put on quilts in the yard were extremely excited when they heard about the 50 kilograms of pork. As cooks, they could only eat a little more than others, so how could they not be happy!
Some people even stretched out their hands to gesture, saying that they could only get two or three kilograms during the Chinese New Year, but they bought fifty kilograms at once for the banquet. They all sighed that Lao Guai's family was really rich.

"That's great. 50 kilograms is a lot. I'll get some extra for you and ask someone to bring you some fish and tofu. I'll make you a spicy tofu fish dish, which is also a great dish!"

"Okay, anything is fine. As long as it can be done in a lively manner, it's fine. Just tell me how much it costs and I'll pay for it."

Shen Meng smiled but said nothing. The fish in her space were so crowded that they were about to jump out of the lake. Fortunately, her parents' family was having a wedding banquet and she also wanted to have one here, otherwise she wouldn't know what to do.

Half a pig's stomach and one hundred kilograms of fish have already been sent over there, so we should send one hundred kilograms of fish back here as well, which will just be enough to loosen up the remaining fish.

"The wedding is in two days. My second sister-in-law is still in the county. She also wants to attend the wedding. But she is about to give birth. I thought Xiangxiang and I would go to the county to see her tomorrow. Xiaobin will also go there. If she can't attend, it can be regarded as making up for the regret, okay?"

"Sure, of course. I'll buy some gifts for my second sister-in-law. The tiger shoes I made for my nephew and niece will be ready soon. I can give them to her tomorrow so she can take a look!"

As Lu Xiangxiang spoke, she showed her the shoes. They were indeed beautiful, red little tiger shoes with yellow thread, which made the shoes look extremely cute.

"It's so beautiful! Xiangxiang's craftsmanship is really great. When I have children, I can make them for my own children!"

Lu Xiangxiang was teased and her cheeks turned red instantly.

Shen Meng couldn't help laughing at her shy look. She was too reserved. If a girl in the future could make such a beautiful thing, she would be so proud that she would die. She would definitely be.

"These are the vegetables that I grew in my garden. Although I planted them early, they are all very good. Auntie, you can cook them later and then go to my garden to pick them. There are plenty!"

"Hey, thank you, Xiao Meng."

They were all ordinary dishes, so she accepted them. When she took the basket and wanted to put the fresh green vegetables in the kitchen, she found a dozen eggs and a piece of pork belly in it. She was stunned for a long time and looked at Shen Meng, who blinked at her, pouted her lips to signal some aunts who were still busy in the yard, and quickly closed her open mouth.

This can't be shouted out. If it gets to Liu Sanjin, who knows what trouble will happen. The old woman is no longer pretending to be magnanimous and virtuous. She has a sullen face all day long, as if others owe her a lot of money.
