Chapter 45 Winning Him Over

At night, Xie Jinghao brought Xiaogang to lie on Shen Meng's kang. Shen Meng brought Xiaokai and Mingfang to the side, confronting Mingyang and Mingliang who were standing on the ground. Finally, Shen Meng compromised. Anyway, the kang was relatively large and the children were very thin, so they would not be too crowded to sleep together.

After Lu Mingyang cried, he became a lot softer, but he wouldn't look at people and kept looking around. He felt it was very embarrassing and shameful to cry in front of his brothers and sisters.

At night, after everyone fell asleep, Lu Mingyang and Lu Mingliang occasionally looked up at Shen Meng. They had never slept on the same kang with their mother in their memory. They had no memory of their biological mother at all, and their current stepmother had never liked them.

Now they were all lying on one bed, which was quite novel.

The next day.

When Shen Meng got up, there was a little foot resting on her chin. She looked and saw that none of the four children were sleeping well. Your legs were on my waist, and my feet were on your head. The foot under her face was the little guy Lu Mingkai. She took a closer look and saw a white mark on the baby's mouth and a drop of crystal clear drool at the corner of his lips.

It was so cute that Shen Meng couldn't help but take a smack on it.

After all the chaos yesterday, she really didn't have the energy to do anything. In the morning, she simply fried some cabbage with lard, got some spicy soup and steamed buns made from two-grain flour from her space, and brought two bowls of stewed eggs for Xiaogang and Xiaokai.

The food was large and smelled good. As soon as the aroma came out, the people sleeping in the east room woke up and ran to the yard. Lu Mingliang jumped and ran to the kitchen door barefoot.

"Mom, what delicious food did you make?"

"Mom, the food you cooked is so delicious!"

"It's delicious!"

Mingfang and Mingkai who were following behind also praised Shen Meng loudly. Lu Mingyang, who was walking at the end, couldn't be as outgoing as his younger brothers and sisters. He opened his mouth and tried several times before saying, "Mom's cooking is so delicious."

Shen Meng looked at the children's bright eyes and smiled, "Okay, stop talking nonsense, hurry up and wash up and get ready for dinner. We'll eat in the main hall today. Mingyang will help mother serve the meal. Xiaokai, you have to take care of your brother. Take Xiaogang to wash his face and brush his teeth, okay?"

"Xiao Gang doesn't want to brush his teeth, there's no toothbrush!"

"Then Xiaokai, can you help your brother wash his face? After washing, mother will hire some bullock carts today, and we will go to the county town together and take your third aunt to the hospital. Put on new clothes, and mother will take you to the photo studio to take pictures, and then send a letter to your father."

Shen Meng just remembered this. No matter whether it was the people of the Lu family or the people of Lujia Village, they all recognized Lu Zhenping very much. No, it should be said that they admired and respected him.

Shen Meng recalled the scenes in her previous dream and the memories of the original owner. Inexplicably, her impression of Lu Zhenping's appearance became much more blurred. But no matter what, it showed that this person was a great figure.

For such a person, she would definitely have to win him over first. A man who has been outside for so many years, no matter if he is an adopted son or a biological son, he must have thought a lot about it, unless he has other ideas in his mind. Shen Meng believes in Lu Zhenping's character.

She had to do this. She had to tie Lu Zhenping's heart and the children's hearts together before he came back.

"Really? Mom, are you telling the truth?"

"Can I talk to Daddy? I want to talk to Daddy!"

Shen Meng rubbed Lu Mingliang's hair and said, "Really? Let's go after we finish eating. Mingyang, hurry up and take your brothers and sisters to wash up. Then help your third aunt get a basin of water to wash her face. We'll eat now."

"Okay, Mom." The boys were extremely happy. The farthest they had come from was Lujia Village from their hometown, and they had never been out of the country again. Going to the county town and taking pictures were things they had never dared to think about before.

Shen Meng looked at the happy children and felt happy too. Just as she was about to turn around, her clothes were grabbed by a pair of small hands. Lu Mingkai had just happily thrown them away, but now he ran back with a bit of grievance on his face.

"Mom." "What's wrong, Xiaokai? Why are you unhappy?"

Lu Mingkai frowned, looked up at Shen Meng, and then lowered his head again.

"Mom, do you think Dad will like me? He hasn't even met me. Does he not come back because he doesn't like Xiaokai?"

"My dear, why would you think so? Doesn't your father ask about you every time he writes to you? Your father must miss you. You are your father's baby. Your father is not coming back. He is defending the country and is a hero. You should be happy and proud, right? Later, I will take you to the photo studio and put on a little military uniform. Then you can show your father that his son is very obedient, well-behaved and proud, right?"

The little guy looked at Shen Meng with bright eyes and nodded vigorously.

When the breakfast was served on the table, Xiaogang and Xie Jinghao both felt very awkward. Even though they had eaten better food here before, Xiaogang was obviously frightened after Wu Xianglan's fight for food and drinks last night.

"Eat it, Xiaogang. This stewed egg is specially made for you and your brother. Other brothers and sisters don't have any."

Xiaogang glanced at her, then looked at the stewed eggs on the table, but still didn't dare to reach out. His eyes were timid and looked pitiful.

Xie Jing touched Xiaogang's cheek with heartache.

"Eat it. Your aunt made it especially for you. Eat it. After you finish eating, your aunt will take us to the county town. Xiaogang should go with us, too. Okay?"

"Okay~" The childish voice makes people feel soft in the heart.

After breakfast, Shen Meng went to the brigade headquarters to find Zhang Hongfa and rented a ox cart for one yuan.

After the autumn planting, there was not much work for the production team, and the money earned from a morning trip by the ox cart could be considered as additional income for the village.

The driver was the uncle who helped Liu Sanjin read the letter last time. He knew what happened last night and felt sympathy for Xie Jinghao and Shen Meng. He helped carry the things and also carried the child into the car. He was much more talkative than that day.

After Shen Meng and his companions left, the village intelligence bureau began to spread the news that Wu Xianglan had evil intentions, and that she had fought with her two sisters-in-law.

Lu Jiahe was so angry after hearing this that he beat up his two children and Wu Xianglan. When he went out, he felt that people looked at him with strange eyes.

The house was noisy and Lu Jiaxuan was very irritable, and he was always thinking about work.

"Is Lu Jiaxuan here? There's a letter for you!"

Lu Jiaxuan suddenly raised his head, took two quick steps, and ran straight to the postman.

"That's me, that's me, thank you."

"Hey, you're welcome, haha!"

Lu Jiaxuan nodded at the person, and tore open the letter and started reading without waiting for the postman to leave. After reading one article, Lu Jiaxuan's forehead was sweating!

This letter was sent by Lu Zhenping. The meaning was very simple. If you want a quota for commune officials, you have to find a way to get the eldest son out.

Whether he wants a quota or the convenience of a big house, let him choose!
