Chapter 28: No matter how you think about it, you are at a disadvantage.

Xie Jing took a deep breath several times before walking up to Chen Meng with a stiff smile. She had a big belly now and could not help Chen Meng carry the sack. The two sisters looked at each other and then His eyes turned to the two thin children at the door of the main room.

Then Shen Meng gave up, went to the kitchen to get a kitchen knife, and untied the rope that tied the sack.

The first thing that was taken out was a large iron pot. The original owner made an iron pot when he and Lu Zhenping got married. However, not long after the wedding, Liu Sanjin, the mother-in-law, coaxed her into using it. Now she is using the same pot that the old Lu family has used for decades. The old iron pot had several holes missing on the edge. Shen Meng was always afraid of poking holes in the pot when cooking.

Then there are sweets and cakes, lean pork ribs, towels and toothbrushes, water cups and basins, clothes, shoes and socks, sheets and quilts.

Lu Mingyang and Lu Mingliang ran back and forth towards the sack and the main room. The two little guys felt that the sack their mother brought over was like a bottomless pit from which countless things were taken out.

After a sack of things was taken out, the floor of the main room was almost piled up.

Shen Meng looked at the three people who were stunned and touched his nose a little.

"A bit doha!"

"Uh, um, sister-in-law, sister-in-law, have you moved the supply and marketing cooperative here?"

"After a long trip to the county town, I bought all the things I lacked at home. The supply and marketing cooperative in the county town is really big. Fortunately, there are people selling ready-made clothes for adults and children. Otherwise, it would be too late to just rely on you to make them by hand. I looked at it. It will get cold next month, and some people in Mingyang don’t even have decent thick clothes. How will they go to school then? The school is far away from our village, and their shoes are all rotten. Is it possible that they will go to school barefoot? The ones I bought are bigger and can last for several years!”

As Shen Meng spoke, she separated the clothes of several children, including a change of clothes for one and two, shoes and socks, notebooks and pencils, and three military green satchels. These were all bought by her at the small commodity market, and they were very cheap.

Lu Mingyang and Lu Mingliang looked at their pile of things on the ground, their eyes widened in shock, especially Lu Mingyang. He always thought that bad women were pretending to raise them better and then sell them, but who is a good person? Before selling the child, he spent so much money on things. He felt that he was not worth so much money.

Lu Mingliang hugged the new clothes in front of him and looked at Shen Meng in surprise.

"Mom, are these really all for me? These Jiefang shoes look great on me. My sister-in-law has a pair of them, and she always shows them off when she comes home."

"Well, it's all for you. After the autumn harvest, you two brothers will go to school together. Mingfang is timid. Don't let others bully her when she gets to school."

Lu Mingliang got his beloved thing, and when he was asked to protect his sister, he immediately puffed up his breasts.

"Mom, I am a man and I am determined to protect my sister."

Lu Mingyang looked at Shen Meng who was talking to his younger brother, his expression gentle and his voice

After the children's things were divided, Shen Meng asked them to put the things away and wash them before wearing them. After packing them up, Shen Meng took out the things he bought at the supply and marketing cooperative. In addition to a piece of polyester cloth, Shen Meng added A piece of floral cotton silk cloth and a piece of military green polyester cloth, both for adults and children.

"Jinghao, I used to be ignorant and often quarreled with you. You have a good temper and don't argue with me. You are also kind to Mingyang's children. I am really grateful to you. This is for Xiaogang and you. The baby in your belly bought some fabrics and rubber soles. You can use the extra fabrics to make shoes for Xiaogang. You can keep the brown sugar and candies. "

A package of things was delivered to her, and Xie Jing almost didn't hug it.

"God, no, no, sister-in-law, I can't have it. Jiasheng and I have been taken care of by my brother. How can I ask for so many things from you? I'm good to Mingyang and the others. They are sensible and not just for things, sister-in-law. "Take it back quickly." "I didn't let you take it away now. When you got married, I didn't give you a box or anything. This is considered a supplement, but you don't want it. Where is Xiaogang? It's in your belly." As for my child, look at this piece of silk fabric, how soft it is. The soles of these two shoes are exactly the size of Xiaogang. I have no use for them. You know Jinghao, I am not a good person. Look at it. Those two sisters-in-law, and my mother-in-law, even if they asked me for something, I wouldn't answer them. They didn't ask you to take these things back now. Just make the clothes and shoes at my house, and then take them away after they're done. If you take them home, you won’t be able to keep any of them.”

Xie Jinghao looked at Shen Meng's sincere look and felt grateful in her heart. Even if she took care of Mingyang's children, the food and drink would not be worth Shen Meng's money. Shen Meng's sister-in-law gave too much.

But think about the few pieces of cloth saved in the kang cabinet at home, not only to make clothes for the children, but even to make shoes, it is not enough, but it would be a bit shameless to really ask for so many things from my sister-in-law.

Shen Meng looked at Xie Jing's confused look and sighed.

"Jing Hao, things are dead but people are alive. Your eldest brother is out in the army, and I am raising four children by myself. I am not very good at needlework, and I can't do physical work such as fetching water and chopping firewood. I will have to do less in the future. Excuse me, Jiasheng, if you don’t take my things, why would I bother you all the time! Even a domineering person like me can understand such a simple truth, why are you so confused?”

Xie Jinghao knew that Shen Meng had enlightened her, so she gritted her teeth, showed her face, and held what Shen Meng gave her in her hand.

"Okay, sister-in-law, then I'll thank you on behalf of Xiaogang and the baby in my belly. If you want me to do anything in the future, just ask."

"Why!"

The two sisters agreed and unpacked the packages in the yard. The soldiers sent local specialties from southern Yunnan, including homespun cloth woven by fellow villagers, small pieces of ham, flower cakes, and Baiyao from southern Yunnan. The ones are mushrooms and rice noodles.

"The things sent are all good, Jinghao, let's eat them at home tonight!"

"No, no, sister-in-law, I have to leave in a moment. Mom and the others have to eat after work, so I have to go back and cook."

Shen Meng looked at her round belly, opened her mouth, but said nothing. These days, there is no thought of not letting pregnant women work, and even if they are, they are very few.

"Okay, go ahead, eat less, and take Xiaogang out for a walk in the evening. I'll save some dinner for you."

"Sister-in-law, I really don't"

"Don't try to persuade me. I don't know what the old Lu family eats. Look at how thin you are. You will suffer a lot when you give birth to a child."

Xie Jing listened and said nothing. Her sister-in-law was really good-hearted and warm-hearted. She was wrong in the past. When she left, Shen Meng gave her three yuan, which is the pension for the next month. money.

Shen Meng felt uncomfortable. She had given her pension money but did not eat together. This did not count the family separation. The private land was also grown by the old Lu family. No matter how she thought about it, she felt that she had suffered a big loss.
