Chapter 66: My Mother is Really
Zhou Jiaojiao worked faster. She planned to go to her sister-in-law's house to push her bicycle back home after work in the morning. She would take a day off tomorrow and go to the county town to buy some cloth. Then she would make two sets of clothes for Lu Jiaxuan. In the future, she would be a respectable worker and could not dress too poorly and make people laugh at her.
Shen Meng had no idea about her bicycle. She first sent the bicycle back home and then went to Xie Jinghao to pick up Lu Mingkai. When the little guy heard that his family had bought a bicycle, he was so happy that he even pulled Xiaogang to ride it together.
Xiaogang is young and very eager to ride a bicycle. He looked at Xie Jinghao with hope.
"Mom, Bao wants to go."
"Go ahead, you have to go home for lunch at noon, okay? You can't always eat the food from your aunt's family." She added a piece of clothing to Xiaogang and whispered something in his ear. Seeing that her son nodded blankly and didn't say what she said, she felt relieved.
When sending her third child out, Xie Jinghao rubbed her belly.
"Sister-in-law, take this bicycle home and hide it well, don't let anyone come to take it back."
"It's OK. You can borrow it. Just pay. The price of borrowing a bicycle from the production team is the same as the price of my bicycle."
Xie Jing opened her mouth for a long time, looked at the villagers working in the fields in the distance, shook her head slightly and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm afraid it won't work. We are all from the same village, and it will hurt the harmony."
Xie Jinghao was also doing this for Shen Meng's own good. Her sister-in-law's reputation had improved a lot during this period. If she bought a bicycle at this time, if a good friend from the village came to borrow the bicycle, and if she really didn't want it, Shen Meng's own reputation would still be damaged.
Now that they have such a good relationship, she doesn't want anyone to say anything bad about her sister-in-law.
"What are you afraid of? People who are not good friends with me usually won't be so shameless as to come and borrow it. After all, this is a bicycle, a valuable thing. It will be embarrassing if it gets bumped. Should I pay for it or not? If you are shameless and want to ride the bicycle, just pay. People who are good friends with me usually won't come and borrow it. After all, you can borrow it in the production team. If you really borrow it and can't return it intact, it will hurt the harmony between us. However, if there is really an emergency, I am not a difficult person to talk to. I will lend it to you in an emergency rather than to those who are poor. I will lend you three instead of two."
"Sister-in-law, just know this. Fellow villagers are not the most important. What's important is our family. Last time, when my elder brother asked Jiaxuan to advocate for the division of the family, he said he would recommend him to be an official in the commune. Although he didn't get the job, he still became a temporary worker. This month he makes 18 yuan. Sister-in-law, be careful that our mother might get her eyes on your bicycle."
Shen Meng's eyes flickered slightly. The reason why Lu Jiaxuan could work as a temporary worker in the commune was probably because of Lu Zhenping's favor, but it was also due to the male protagonist's good luck.
After she brought the two children home, she tied two bamboo chairs with handles directly to the front bar. She also lied to the two children, telling them that she had bought small chairs in the living room that could be tied to the car so that they would not hurt their buttocks when sitting on it.
The bicycle that Shen Meng took out from the space was smaller and more suitable for girls to ride. It was not strenuous at all. Two little kids were sitting in the front, giggling in the wind and smacking their lips from time to time. When Shen Meng carried them onto the bicycle, she stuffed a candy into each of their hands.
The mother and her two daughters rode all the way towards the commune school. Lu Mingyang and his three siblings and Daqing and Erqing were walking on the road. From a distance they saw someone riding a bicycle towards them. The sharp-eyed Lu Mingliang suddenly pointed excitedly.
"Brother, Mingfang, it's mom. She's here to pick us up on a bicycle with Xiaokai and Xiaogang. Hehehe, mom said she was going to the county town today. Did she go to buy a bicycle? Brother, look, there's a big red flower on the bicycle. Is it our bicycle?"
As soon as he finished yelling, Lu Mingyang and Lu Mingfang also looked in the direction of Shen Meng. The other children also stretched their heads to look at her, with envy overflowing from their eyes.
The children who used to be unwilling to play with Lu Mingyang and his friends now came over and asked excitedly if their family had bought bicycles. They praised Lu Mingyang, Lu Mingliang and Lu Mingfang so much that their faces turned red and they raised their chins with pride.
"I don't know, maybe she borrowed it. My mother is like that. She said she knew the way after school and she still came to pick me up."
Lu Mingliang also agreed with his brother, "Mom is really something. We are not children anymore, and she is worried about us going there. It's really a headache." "Mingliang, your mom really loves you." Erqing looked at Lu Mingliang with envy. He also wanted his parents to come and pick us up, but it was not that his father didn't like them and mom. He often beat them, including Yaoyao. Looking at the nice clothes Mingyang and the others were wearing, he looked at the aunt nearby and wanted to have a mother like that. After thinking for a moment, he frowned. His mother is also very good!
"Mingyang, there are big red flowers on that bicycle, it's obviously new. Auntie, is this the bicycle you bought? This one is smaller than the one from the production team." Daqing pulled Lu Mingyang towards Shen Meng.
Shen Meng got off the bicycle and said, "Yes, our family just bought it. The two little ones wanted to ride it, so I rode over here to pick up Mingyang, Mingliang, and Mingfang.
Lu Mingyang's face lit up, and he turned serious and said, "We have so many children here, we won't get lost. Mom, please go home quickly. I'm hungry and I have to go to school in the afternoon!"
"Okay, let's go then!"
Shen Meng didn't care why the boy's attitude was so indifferent. He was obviously very happy when he said he wanted to buy a bicycle.
Lu Mingfang looked unhappy at her elder brother. While Lu Mingliang and other children were scrambling to see the bicycles, she moved closer to Lu Mingyang.
"Brother, don't pretend. I know you are so happy that your heart is beating fast. Be careful that mother takes it seriously. In the future, she won't answer the phone even if you want her to. Humph!"
After Lu Mingfang finished speaking, she turned around and ran forward, not paying any attention to the somewhat stiff Lu Mingyang.
Shen Meng pushed the bicycle back to the village. It was normal for children to be curious and want to touch, push or sit on it. She tried her best to satisfy their curiosity. After all, life was really hard for children these days. Even such a small experience might be remembered for a long time.
After finally sending the other children away, Lu Mingyang approached Shen Meng with trepidation.
"Mom, I'm so happy that you bought a bicycle. I, I also want to learn how to ride one. Can you teach me?"
"And me, and me."
"Mom, I want to learn too."
It’s not that Shen Meng looks down on the kids, it’s just that they are at a huge disadvantage in terms of height, and it’s really difficult for them to ride a bicycle.
"You can learn if you want to, but I'm not discouraging you. It's a little difficult for you to reach the handlebars. Wait until next year to learn. Eat well this year and try to be able to push like me before you learn to ride. Okay?"
The kids looked at each other, their faces suddenly turned red, but they also made up their minds to eat more and grow taller.
When the mother and daughter arrived home, Zhou Jiaojiao was waiting at the door. She frowned as she watched two people weaving chairs on the big bar in front of the bicycle.
"Sister-in-law, I'm back. This bicycle was just bought, so you'd better cherish it. The paint is about to fall off because it's tied to the chair. Forget it, Xiaokai, Xiaogang, get off first. I still have to push the bicycle away. This is not bought for you to sit and play, it's for your fourth uncle to use at work, so you can't be ignorant!"
Shen Meng: “???”
What nonsense are you talking about? Is it for Lu Jiaxuan to use at work? What are you dreaming about?
