Chapter 98 Can I Go to School Too?
Shen Meng felt that Lu Zhenping's gaze was a little burning. She tilted her head, her heart was in a mess. Although they had only been together for a few days, she could see that this man was upright and resolute, someone she could trust, and the two of them spoke and acted in harmony. She was a little moved and had a lot of good feelings for him.
Thinking back to the time when I was discussing project roadshows or attending dinner parties, I was always quite comfortable with it. Even though I have a blank slate in terms of love, I shouldn't be so indecisive. What's more, there are a few children in between, so maybe I can give it a try!
"I believe you. Whether in the army or at home, as long as I can live a good life, that's all."
Lu Zhenping's eyes lit up, knowing that she accepted it, and he held her hand tightly.
"it is good."
Shen Meng looked at the banknotes in her hand, pursed her lips and said, "I still need to tell you about the bricks and tiles. You know my family has had adobe houses for decades. Not only is the thatch rotten, but the walls have also been washed away by rain for years. If we don't repair it quickly, we will have a hard time this winter. I saw that my family still has some money, so I borrowed it. We should be able to build a house with bricks in the next few days, but it's still short of money."
"How many?"
Shen Meng suddenly looked up at him, then made up her mind and said, "About three hundred. Mainly because I want to build a bigger house. Xiaobin is old enough and will be able to get married soon. If the house is beautiful, girls from good families will be interested in him in the future."
It's no wonder that Shen Meng was surprised. These days, buying something depends on every penny. A few dozen dollars is enough for a country person to save for a long time, not to mention that she asked for hundreds of dollars. This is a huge sum of money for anyone.
"The money is in your hands, you can spend it however you want. Making money is my business, spending money is your business."
"That's it. Don't you want to intervene or have anything else to say?"
Lu Zhenping looked at her teasing and tentative attitude and smiled inwardly.
"What's there to say? You've already said that your mother's house is no longer habitable. How can I stop you? You don't have to tell me about spending money in the future. Just discuss it with me if you have any difficulties."
Shen Meng smiled. She was very satisfied with this answer.
"Then why don't you go back to my mother's house tomorrow? Mingyang and the others have a day off tomorrow anyway, and it wouldn't be appropriate for you not to go when you're back."
"Okay, it's up to you."
Lu Zhenping looked at Shen Meng's happy expression and suddenly realized that it was pretty good to live like this. He patted Shen Meng's hand and asked her to put away the money and bills. He still had to cook some vegetables. There were two half-grown boys at home who were growing up. If they didn't eat enough, they would definitely be hungry before noon.
After Shen Meng put away the money and bills, she looked at the two children sleeping on the kang, and her heart was filled with warmth. She suddenly remembered the fortune teller she met when she had a premonition of traveling through time.
He said his good day, could it be this moment!!!
Shen Meng couldn't help but move closer to Mingfang and Mingkai, and gently stroked Mingkai's little face. The little guy moved, then laughed, turned over, and put his feet on Mingfang's body. His little mouth opened slightly, and then a trace of crystal saliva flowed. She laughed in her heart and moved over to kiss him.
After breakfast, Shen Meng packed a basket of things and went to school with Mingyang and several other children. Lu Zhenping and Mingkai were assigned to work on their private plots. With the labor force, Shen Meng didn't want to work hard on the land by herself!
Teacher Zheng, with a low ponytail, wears a red plaid top and a silk scarf of the same color tied around her neck. She stands at the school gate waiting for the children to go to school. Occasionally, there are parents sending their children to school. She will chat with them and talk about the children's performance in school. These days, some families are willing to let their children go to school even if they have financial difficulties at home.
After all, there is a literate person in the family, so I feel a little proud. "Hello, Teacher Zheng!"
It was obvious that Lu Mingyang's three children respected Teacher Zheng very much. They greeted her from a distance and ran to the teacher's side, jumping and skipping, as if they had even forgotten the injuries on their buttocks.
"Hello, hello, class is about to start, hurry into the classroom, you three are almost late again!"
Teacher Zheng's words made Mingyang Mingliang and Mingfang feel embarrassed. They smiled shyly at her, then turned around and pointed at Shen Meng and said, "Teacher, this is our mother. She came here specifically to see you."
"Hello, Teacher Zheng!"
"Hello, sister-in-law. Are you here to ask about Mingyang and the others' classes? They are very smart and pay attention in class, especially Mingfang. This girl is a good seedling. If your family can afford it, you must let her go to school well!"
Teacher Zheng felt a little nervous because most of the children in the school were boys and there were very few girls. Even if there were any, their families would only let them go to school for two years and then they would stay at home to work. She felt helpless during these years in the countryside.
"As long as they are willing to study, I will definitely provide for them well. Teacher Zheng, don't worry."
"That's good, that's good. To be honest, your three children study very hard. They read in the classroom after class. Sometimes they are delayed by something at home and will ask the teacher for help. They are really sensible."
Mingyang, Mingliang, Mingfang and the other three children blushed when they were praised by Teacher Zheng. They looked at Shen Meng again and again somewhat embarrassedly. When they realized that their mother was also looking at them tenderly, they hurriedly turned their heads away.
"I'm relieved that they can study well. Mingyang, Mingliang, Mingfang, go to the classroom first. I'll talk to Teacher Zheng."
"Okay, mother."
After the three children left, there were not many students left. Teacher Zheng saw that Shen Meng seemed to want to chat for a while, so she simply invited her into the office. The other teachers had already gone to give morning reading to the students, so there were only the two of them, so Shen Meng didn't waste any more words.
"Teacher Zheng, thank you for taking care of my three children during this period. My family has had a lot of problems recently, which delayed the children's classes and made the teachers worry about them. I am really sorry. These are dried vegetables and mushrooms from home, and some rice noodles that my husband brought from southern Yunnan. You can share them with the teachers. It is also a token of our family's love. They are all inexpensive things. Teacher Zheng, you must accept them!"
Teacher Zheng did not refuse much. She knew that these were gifts from her fellow villagers, but she was actually very reluctant to accept them. Her family was afraid that she would suffer, so they sent her money and tickets every month. But she did not want to waste her fellow villagers' kindness. They would feel uncomfortable if she did not accept the gifts they brought from so far away. She took a look and felt relieved when she saw that they were all ordinary things.
"Besides this matter, I also want to ask Teacher Zheng if I can go to school too?"
Teacher Zheng: “Hmm???”
