Famine Bride: Marry into the best in-laws and win

Chapter 261 Tiger Head Hat

Two people walked out from inside.

The old lady's eyes fell on Shen Qingqing's face, paused for a moment, and slowly said, "Since Xiaoshan doesn't want to go, then this place is for you, but you have to remember that this place is reserved for you by Xiaoshan."

"You must remember your brother's kindness in the future."

Shen Qingqing's eyes were red and swollen. She was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked at Shen Xiaoshan who was standing next to the old lady.

Why...why?

Obviously, the whole family favors him and he has successfully obtained a place in school, so why doesn't he go?

Clearly, this is an opportunity to change your destiny.

If you miss it, it will never come back.

Mrs. Shen rushed forward and hugged the old lady's thighs, crying, "Mom, how could you do this? Xiaoshan is our son, the root of our Shen family. You don't let him go to school, but give the opportunity to a loser."

"She's going to get married sooner or later, why waste this money?"

Boss Shen wanted to say something, but the old lady glared at him fiercely, and he swallowed his words back.

Lin Luoxia looked at Shen Xiaoshan in surprise. Unexpectedly, she had misjudged him. He was actually a man who understood feelings.

Xu Manyue also looked at Shen Xiaoshan. This child was usually quiet and didn't like to talk, so she rarely paid attention to him.

But it is really surprising that he was willing to give up such an important opportunity.

The old lady cleared her throat and said, "It's useless for anyone to object to this. It's settled."

"Boss, take your wife back. Don't let her get in the way here."

Xu Manyue was relieved for Shen Qingqing, but also felt sorry for Shen Xiaoshan.

There's nothing we can do about it as the family can only afford to support one child.

……

A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

Calculating the time, Xu Manyue's belly is almost seven months old. She can even feel the baby kicking her in her belly.

Because she took the pills rewarded by the system, she not only did not have the uncomfortable reactions during pregnancy, but her skin also became better and better, a little whiter and smoother than before.

Apart from the fact that her belly was gradually growing bigger and the baby was moving, she was no different from a normal person.

Since she found out she was pregnant, Xu Manyue made a lot of clothes for the baby in her belly, ranging from one to two years old, as well as small socks, small hats, and all kinds of things.

Half of the fabric for making clothes is sent back by Shen Jingming every month.

In addition to cloth and nutritional supplements, Shen Jingming also sent a festive red tiger-head hat last month. It was small, with exquisite embroidery patterns on it, and looked cute and beautiful.

When Xu Manyue saw the tiger-head hat, she was stunned. It was really hard to connect such a cute thing with a cold and indifferent man like Shen Jingming.

Although he said he cared about the children, he never asked much about the children's situation in his letters.

Usually she would write to him to tell him how many months old the baby was, how the baby could move, what clothes she had made for the baby, etc.

It can be said that he cares about his children and sends things back on time every month, most of which are prepared for the children.

Xu Manyue lowered her head and touched her gradually growing belly, wondering if there was anything else that was not prepared.

Clothes, diapers, small blankets...it seems like everything that needs to be prepared has been prepared.

Just wait until the child is born safely after the New Year.

Shen Qingqing's admission to junior high school was also decided. For her sake, Xu Manyue even used the relationship of Principal Qian to allow Shen Qingqing to go to the commune junior high school, take an exam, and be successfully admitted.

That afternoon, Xu Manyue and Mrs. Shen were cooking and chatting in the kitchen.

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from outside the door, "Mom, eldest brother, second brother, third sister-in-law, I'm back, and I brought you something."

Xu Manyue paused while cutting vegetables. "Sister-in-law, it seems Jianping is back. I'll go out and take a look. By the way, I'll get some food from mother's room."

There is a fixed amount of food for each person in the family to eat every day. If there is one more person, more food needs to be prepared.

Mrs. Shen also hurried to check. "I'm going to check it out too. Jianping hasn't been back for several months. I don't know how life is going in the city. I wonder if he's become respectable like the people there."

As soon as the two of them came out of the kitchen, they looked up and saw the old lady holding Shen Jianping, saying, "My son has lost weight."

Mrs. Shen stopped and whispered in Xu Manyue's ear, "They say the eldest son and the eldest grandson are the lifeblood of an old lady. Why do I feel like mother is more partial to her eldest son and doesn't care about Xiaoshan at all?"

Logically speaking, the apprentice position should have belonged to her son.

Xu Manyue didn't agree with her words, "Sister-in-law, I'm going to get some food first. You watch the kitchen and don't let the firewood go out."

yard.

The old lady talked to Shen Jianping for a long time, and then she saw the bag of apples in his hand. She felt so distressed.

"Oh, you damn kid, you are so careless. Can a family like ours afford to eat this kind of thing?"

"How much does this cost? Why don't you know how to save money?"

Shen Jianping placed the apple in his hand into the old lady's arms. "Mom, I can be considered a salaried person now. I earn 12.5 yuan a month. This is all thanks to the help of my third sister-in-law and my family. I finally came back today, so naturally I have to bring you something."

"By the way, where is my third sister-in-law? Why can't I see her?" Shen Jianping looked up and around, but still didn't see anyone.

Lin Luoxia smiled and said, "I should be cooking in the kitchen. Jianping, how are you doing in the city?"

When the old lady mentioned this, she also looked at him and asked, "Yes, how did your master treat you? Did he teach you anything? Can you eat in the factory?"

Generally, people who become apprentices have to endure the humiliation for a long time and be ordered around by their master before they can learn anything.

Some masters will keep their secrets to themselves, and even if the apprentice has been with them for several years, they may not necessarily teach him anything useful.

Shen Jianping nodded. "Master is very kind to me. Although he is quiet and cold, he has taught me a lot."

"I eat pretty well every day, basically steamed cornbread and cornmeal porridge, and I can eat until I'm 50% full every day."

"It's more comfortable than being at home."

There is just one thing: in a machinery factory, one has to work all day long, especially for an apprentice like him who has no status, he has to be busy running around here and there.

A day's work is no easier than going to work, and the physical exertion is also great.

He earns 12.5 yuan a month, and after deducting 4 yuan for rent, he has 8.5 yuan left. He also has to spend money on meals at the factory.

These eight dollars and fifty cents were barely enough for his daily expenses in the city.

He had originally thought about saving more money, but even though he was frugal enough, he could only save a few dollars a month.
