Chapter 127: So shameful
Chapter 127 Too shameful
Zhu Juying and Uncle Guai looked at each other and nodded with satisfaction. This child looked similar to Shen Meng. Although he was one year younger than Xiangxiang, he was pretty much the same. Besides, with Shen Meng as big as him, With her sister-in-law here, her daughter could not bear the injustice. While the two of them were talking, they looked back and forth at the two children.
Lu Xiangxiang blushed at the sight and kept looking at Shen Meng, hoping that she could save him.
Fortunately, Lu Zhenping had packed up the two fish. He waved to Shen Meng. Lu Xiangxiang saw the opportunity and stood up when Shen Meng stood up. He took her arm and left the main room.
"Sister-in-law Meng, I will go with you."
Shen Meng glanced behind him, lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Look at you, even if we are not here to see each other, you are still Zhenping's sister. You can just rest at my house and don't have to work."
"I feel uncomfortable, sister-in-law. You didn't look at my parents. I'm scared when you look at them."
Lu Qinlan and Su Xiaomei said hello and followed them out, and also called Shen Xiaobin out.
"Xiao Bin, go help my sister-in-law to fetch two more buckets of water and help wash the vegetables. Your brother and the others will be back in a while, and we will have dinner just in time."
"Hey! Okay;" he agreed, then turned to Uncle Guai and Zhu Juying and said, "Uncle, aunt, I'll go out first, and you guys can talk to me later!"
"Okay, okay, okay."
Uncle Guai was the first to agree. The four old men looked at each other and knew what was going on.
They were still not satisfied. They had to let the two young people talk and understand each other before they knew whether the marriage could happen. After Shen Xiaobin went out, he went to the kitchen to carry a bucket, but looking at the two full buckets of water, he looked towards Lu Qinlan was full of question marks.
"How silly, I thought my sister-in-law really asked you to carry water. Go and take out some potatoes. Xiangxiang is washing onions and ginger. It just so happens that you can help me, so that the men and women can work together without getting tired!"
Shen Xiaobin: "."
No matching required, it’s not tiring to do this work alone!
Lu Zhenping packed up the fish and went out. Xiaohu took a few children out to play. He had to get the children home quickly so that they could eat before he could.
Lu Qinlan burned the pot and watched Shen Meng cook. She poured rapeseed oil into the pot, heated the oil, and fried two pieces of fish wrapped in eggs and flour in the oil again and again. Without adding any seasoning, they were already fragrant. It makes people drool.
"I was just wondering why Xiaobin went out to catch fish. He was obviously just waiting to see Xiaomeng come back. Do you want to have a full meal? Hahaha."
"No, if Xiaomeng comes to visit relatives, she shouldn't have to put in that effort. It's up to us to cook the food, but look at the taste. I can't do it."
Su Xiaomei kneaded the steamed buns of Sanhe Noodles on the chopping board and chatted about home life together.
Shen Meng had fried the fish and needed onions, **** and potatoes, but Shen Xiaobin never came. Lu Qinlan smiled and said: "Don't wait, there are ready-made and cut ones in the little basket. Just use it.”
"Sister-in-law, you've known for a long time that this idiot will never come back if he goes out, right?" "No, I like this fragrance even when I look at it, let alone Xiao Bin. This girl is down-to-earth, and she belongs to our family at first glance. Man, if this can be done, my parents will be really worried."
Shen Meng sprinkled the green onions and **** into the pot, then added the cut red peppers and potato cubes, a little salt and soy sauce, stir-fried a few times, and put the fried fish into the pot. He added two ladles of water, put the soaked dried mushrooms into the pot, closed the pot lid, and then looked at Lu Qinlan.
"Sister-in-law, I don't know if my parents can get rid of this problem, but I can cure your problem today."
Lu Qinlan was stunned for a moment and looked at Shen Meng in confusion.
"Zhenping's third brother Jiasheng is a carpenter. His master is old and has not done much work in the past two years. If there is any work, he will be introduced to him. If there is any carpentry work in the village commune, he will find him. During the leisure time, he will He would also work in the mines and earn a lot of money every year. Before the family was separated, all the money was given to my parents-in-law. Now that the family is separated, more or less everything he earns is in his own hands. I He Zhenping saw that Xiaolong was at the right age to learn a trade, and he had already told Jiasheng that he meant that the apprentice would live and eat at his house for three years, and all the money he earned from working would belong to the master. This was something they According to the rules of the industry, Xiaolong will take care of everything he earns after he learns it. He is good at his craftsmanship and we are all relatives, so he will teach Xiaolong well. "
Lu Qinlan didn't want to hear such good news today. The family was discussing letting their little baby go to school next year. The only thing she was worried about was Xiaolong, who was already in his teens. Her sister-in-law had previously said that Xiaolong should learn a craft, and she felt sad in her heart. She was looking forward to it, but her sister-in-law and her husband had many things to do, and she didn't dare to mention it.
Everything she thought of was arranged, and she was immediately excited.
"Well, Xiaomeng, I didn't even think that you had already found a teacher for Xiaolong. Really, my sister-in-law doesn't even know how to thank you."
"It's okay. Jiasheng's house is a few steps away from ours. Then they can often come to my house to eat and take Mingyang's children out to play."
"Okay, okay, with you as my sister-in-law here, I can still be afraid that he will be wronged. But, after three years of food and accommodation, Xiaolong has a lot to eat for a boy of half an age. Isn't this taking advantage of others?"
My children are now teenagers. If there wasn’t a lot of food in the house and they couldn’t eat enough, the noodle vat would have reached the bottom a long time ago. A month’s worth of food wouldn’t be enough for half a month.
"Jiasheng has two children at home. In the past, he not only helped the family with work, but also learned crafts. Besides, Jiasheng is a craftsman and earned a lot after the separation. Jiasheng dared to say this because he had confidence in his heart. Yes, if he doesn’t have any confidence in his heart, he won’t be willing to do it even for the sake of me and Zhenping, don’t worry, sister-in-law.”
"Hey, if you say that, I feel relieved."
After the stewed chicken soup was taken out of the pot, Shen Meng fried a plate of leeks and eggs, fried bacon with cabbage, made a stew with flattened pork belly and vermicelli old pumpkin, and steamed Sanhe noodle buns on top.
Su Xiaomei had just picked up the steamed buns into the pot. The potatoes, green onions and **** that had been waiting for a meal were brought back by Shen Xiaobin and Lu Xiangxiang. The two of them saw the three people in the room looking at themselves, and they were immediately ashamed. Face flushed.
"Hey, the rice is ready, so why don't you bring the green onions and ginger? Xiao Bin, you can't work so slowly in the future!"
Listening to his sister-in-law's obvious joke, Shen Xiaobin pursed his lips and glanced at Lu Xiangxiang secretly. Seeing that she was also blushing, she felt very happy!
"Sister-in-law, you are becoming more and more unforgiving. Xiangxiang, let's go."
"ah?"
Lu Xiangxiang was slow to react. She didn't react until Shen Xiaobin pulled her sleeves out of the kitchen and listened to the laughter in the kitchen. She said "Oops" and ran into the main room with her face covered.
Shen Xiaobin scratched his head in embarrassment. What was he doing just now? How could he just grab the girl's arm and run out? It was so embarrassing.
