Chapter 46 Du’s Thoughts

While pressing the water, Shen Ruoqing couldn't help but look at Mubai.

The young man's upright posture and the way he presses the water seriously seems to be quite eye-catching.

"Mu Zhiqing, try this cucumber. I grew it myself. It's very juicy." Shen Ruoqing handed over a cucumber in his hand. The cucumber was emerald green and looked very delicious.

"What are you doing standing there in a daze? Eat it quickly, it's delicious." Shen Ruoqing was a little funny. She felt that Mu Zhiqing was a little dull.

"Thank you." Mubai took a bite. It was indeed as refreshing as he imagined. It seemed to be even more delicious than the cucumber he had eaten before.

"It's been a hard day today, right? You've never done such heavy farm work before, right?" Shen Ruoqing was still smiling.

"It's not hard work, labor is the most glorious." Mubai showed his white teeth. He didn't know how he brushed them so white.

Soon, Mubai filled the bucket with water.

"Mu Zhiqing, let me pack some vegetables for you to go back to. Your educated youth area probably hasn't started growing vegetables yet. I'll pack some vegetables for you so you can eat when you get home."

"Then thank you very much, Comrade Shen." Mubai said.

Shen Ruoqing filled a basket full of vegetables for him.

"I'll return the basket to you next time."

Mubai carried the water and left.

"Sister-in-law, that one just now is the new educated youth, he's so handsome." Mrs. Du, who was cooking, stuck her head out, thinking that it would be great if her baby would be so handsome in the future.

When Mu Bai brought back a basket of vegetables, Ma Weiguang joked: "We, Mu Zhiqing, are so charming that we can get a basket of vegetables when we go out. Couldn't it be a gift from some little girl?"

Mubai frowned: "It's a gift from the Shen family. It's meant to be given to our entire educated youth community. Some of the food won't even be able to shut your mouth."

"This dish is really juicy. You can tell it was carefully prepared at first glance," Sister Qian said.

"We also grow vegetables well, and we can grow them so well, but we have to pour a lot of water. Not only is it tiring, Captain Tang also said not to use too much water. The water level in the big well in the village has dropped a lot." Ding Nakajiang said.

"Then just plant half of it first. We can't eat that many vegetables anyway."

With the vegetables sent by Shen Ruoqing, Zhiqing Dian added two more dishes in the evening.Even so, all the food in the evening was eaten.

Let’s talk about Shen Ruoqing.

"I thought my sister-in-law's problem with loose hands has improved, but I didn't expect that it's still the same as before." Wang said sourly, "Then what does the educated youth have to do with us? We give people a big basket of vegetables for free. Our vegetables are terrible. They can all be sold for money, just give them to others for free." The vegetables at home have been sold several times, although Mrs. Ji only gave them one or two cents each time, but the money from the sales ultimately belongs to her.

"Second sister-in-law, the food at home is taken care of by the elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law. Neither the elder sister-in-law nor the second sister-in-law said anything. You are dissatisfied." Shen Ruoqing looked at Wang with a half-smile. Wang's love is a bit selfish for taking advantage. She has a self-interested character, but she hasn't made any big mistakes. It just makes her very unhappy every time it pops up.

"Then don't eat vegetables tomorrow, just eat steamed buns. Save your share and sell it for money. Day by day, if you don't work, you still talk so much nonsense." Mrs. Ji glared at Mrs. Wang. I don’t know where I got the courage to speak back.

"Mom, that's not what I meant. I heard others say that the educated youth from outside have a lot of tricks. I'm afraid that my sister-in-law will be deceived by those educated youth outside. I heard that the educated youth outside are not only good-looking, but they can't carry it on their shoulders." , those who can’t pick with their hands are worse than the skinny monkeys in our village.”

Slender Monkey is the nickname of a person in the village. Slim Monkey is rarely called by his real name, because Slender Monkey has no strength and is a small and skinny person. He gets the same work points as a child, so the village often makes fun of him.

Mrs. Ji's eyes fell on Shen Ruoqing.

"Mom, what are you thinking about? I just thought that it would be difficult for the educated youths to come here, and I thought I could help them a little, so I gave them some food, and nothing else. I'm still young."

"From the second child's house, my little boy is still young. You are not allowed to talk about this kind of thing in the future. If people hear it, you may wonder what to think. It's all because my little boy is kind-hearted. Don't eat vegetables these two days. "Old lady Ji said.

Wang opened her mouth, but in the end no words came out.

"Mom, why don't you let Erya and Sanya stop studying after this semester?" Du said suddenly.

"Why, Mom?" Shen Xue shouted.Although she is not very smart, she still works hard and conscientiously in her studies, and her grades are pretty good.She used to think that it didn't matter whether she read or not, but her sister-in-law told her that reading makes people wise.With their background, studying is the shortest way to climb up.The sister-in-law also said a lot, but Shen Xue didn't remember a lot of it.But she knew that studying was her only way out.

Mrs. Du lowered her head and did not dare to look at Shen Xue. She just whispered: "Sanya, it is useless for a girl to read so many books. She will eventually get married. No one will do the work at home for you to study and earn cents." There are fewer people.”

Shen Ruoqing was really angry. What kind of feudal dregs was this? She originally thought that the selfish Wang family would be fine, but she didn't expect that the seemingly honest Du family was the one with a pure brain.While others were fighting for their children, it would be better for her to ruin her daughter's future.

"Third sister-in-law said it's useless for girls to study? Should I stop studying and work at home to earn cents for the family?"

Du Shi felt a cold gaze staring at her, trembled, and said quickly: "Sister-in-law, of course you are different. You have four brothers. Besides, sister-in-law, you have such good grades. You will definitely be a worker after you study. Erya Sanya is different. This is their fate, and they can’t learn anything from reading..."

"Daughter-in-law, what are you talking about? In my heart, men and women are the same, and Erya and Sanya are also my children." Shen Xiangxi said hurriedly, "Mom, don't listen to my wife's nonsense, I don't have that Meaning."

Mrs. Ji looked at Mrs. Du with sharp eyes: "You don't have the final say in the family decision. My old lady agreed to let the two of them go to school. Do you want my old lady's words not to count now?"

"Mom, I don't mean that. I just want to lighten the burden on my family. Now the second sister-in-law has an extra child. She originally worked half a day every day. I am pregnant with another child, and I will have to increase my expenses in the future. Erya If Sanya doesn't go to school, she can help second sister-in-law take care of the children, and the work at home will be easier."

"Shen Yun and Shen Xue, tell me, do you want to go to school?" Shen Ruoqing just called the two children to his side.

"Mom, I can learn a lot of knowledge in school. The teacher said that this knowledge will be useful in the future and can serve the motherland. Mom, I want to study. And the teacher said that my grades this semester have improved, and I also You can do well in the exam," Shen Xue said.
