Super Red Packet

Chapter 89
"I'm going down here too, and I'll be with you all the way."

The two got out of the car with their bags in their hands, and the village woman gave him a sideways look: "Why did you get out of the car with me? Did you follow me to my house?"

Meng Xiaoben was amused: "My family belongs to Mengjia Village, let's walk together for a while, and then I will take the trail back to Mengjia Village."

On the narrow path, there are tall cornfields on both sides. When the wind blows, the cornfields make a rattling sound.It was the hottest time at noon, and there was no one in sight on the road or in the field.

Even so, the village woman kept looking back and forth vigilantly, for fear of meeting someone she knew.If people in the village saw her walking with a strange man, it would immediately cause a disturbance in the village.

"Are you afraid?" Meng Xiaoben asked with a smile.

"There is nothing between the two of us, what am I afraid of?"

"I listened to you, it seems that I hope there is something between the two of us?" Meng Xiaoben looked at her with a playful smile.

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm a good woman, don't tease me." As she spoke, she looked around again.

Meng Xiaoben saw a small path beside the road, which was a small path in the cornfield, very narrow, only one meter wide.

"Since you are afraid of being seen by others, we might as well take this path."

She thought for a moment, and took the lead on the path.

The breeze blew, and the crops made a rustling sound.The grass in the cornfield is very thick, which may be the reason why it has not rained for several days, and the ground is very dry.

Meng Xiaoben took two quick steps, walking side by side with her, deliberately kept touching her shoulder with his own: "I forgot to ask, what's your name?"

"My name is Ye Lan. How about you?"

"My name is Meng Xiaoben."

………………

When Meng Xiaoben entered Mengjia Village, it was already dark.

I haven't returned to the village for half a year, and I feel very excited: my hometown!my loved ones.

Standing outside the courtyard wall of her own house, Meng Xiaoben silently, with mixed feelings in her heart: Since her elder brother and father passed away one after another, her sister-in-law did not remarry. She kept her promise to her husband before his death: take good care of her in-laws, and entrust her younger brother to college graduate.Since then, mother and sister-in-law, two women, have shouldered the burden of the family with their weak shoulders, relying on the meager income from farming to support Meng Xiaoben to finish high school and go to university.

If there is no mother and sister-in-law, there will be no Meng Xiaoben who is rich today.

Pushed the door, and the door was locked from the inside.

"Mom, sister-in-law, I'm Xiao Ben, and I'm back."

Meng Xiaoben shouted while patting on the door.

Mother and sister-in-law came out to open the door with their clothes on.

Mother took Meng Xiaoben's hand, looked left and right, and said, "Have you eaten yet?"

"I've eaten, but now I'm a little hungry again." When he got home, Meng Xiaoben would naturally not be polite.

"Xiao Ben, take a break first, and I'll heat up your meal. There are still some corn lumps left for dinner, just heat it up." Sister-in-law Yulan said, twisting her pretty waist, and went to the kitchen.

After a while, my sister-in-law came in with a bowl of hot corn noodles, put them on the table, and took out a salty cucumber from the urn in the corner, cut it into shreds, shook it with sauce, put it on a plate, and placed it on the table. on the table.

"Sister-in-law, do you and mom usually eat this?" Meng Xiaoben was a little sad.

"Isn't this great." Sister-in-law Yulan said with a friendly smile while wiping her white lotus-like hands with her apron.

"Your sister-in-law has worked as a small laborer for the old Wang's house in the village these days. She earned 400 yuan. She is going to the bank to call you tomorrow. I didn't expect you to go home. It just saved the postage." Mom said.

Meng Xiaoben looked up at his sister-in-law.

My sister-in-law's face was indeed a little darker than before.As a pillar performer of the County Song and Dance Troupe, her sister-in-law was originally very white, and her face was like a holy place where dust could not stand.

Meng Xiaoben's eyes were a little hot, and he wanted to cry. He lowered his head and said nothing, picked up the golden corn lumps in the bowl with his chopsticks, and put them into his mouth piece by piece.This gnocchi is flat, round, exquisite and beautiful, and it looks like my sister-in-law's handicraft.The sister-in-law's fingerprints left on it were clearly visible, and Meng Xiaoben felt a strange warmth when he ate it.

Meng Xiaoben lowered his head and chewed slowly, tears finally couldn't stop, and fell on the table with a "click".

"Xiao Ben, are you crying?" Mom asked in surprise.

Meng Xiaoben wiped his eyes, raised his head, and looked at his sister-in-law, eyes full of gratitude.

The sister-in-law in the dim light is an extremely beautiful woman.Meng Xiaoben has always had a special kindness towards his sister-in-law.Many times, Meng Xiaoben imagined what his future wife would be like, and his sister-in-law's charming smile always flashed before his eyes.Therefore, the standard he set for himself was: either don't look for a wife, or look for a beautiful woman like sister-in-law.

"Don't cry, Xiaoben, when you cry, mother will be sad again." Sister-in-law sat down at the table opposite Meng Xiaoben, while peeling off a freshly boiled egg, and handed it to Meng Xiaoben.

After eating, Meng Xiaoben wiped his mouth and said mysteriously: "Sister-in-law, you go and close the curtains."

The sister-in-law was stunned for a moment, and wanted to ask, but she didn't ask, so she got up and went to the window, and covered the window tightly with curtains, leaving no gaps.

Both mother and sister-in-law sensed that Meng Xiaoben had something to do, so they gathered around and sat beside him.

Meng Xiaoben picked up the backpack on the ground, opened the zipper, took out a large plastic bag from inside, put it on the kang, and slowly opened it: stacks of ten stacks of banknotes were neatly placed in front of him.

Both mother and sister-in-law were too surprised to speak.

Mom stretched out her hand and stroked the brand-new banknotes tremblingly, as if she was afraid of breaking them.

The sister-in-law covered her mouth with her snow-white jade hands, her beautiful eyes widened.

"Mom, sister-in-law, put away the money and save it in the bank when you have time." Meng Xiaoben said calmly.In fact, the excitement in his heart was far greater than that of his mother and sister-in-law, because he always wanted to repay his mother, and even more so, his sister-in-law. Today, he finally got his wish.Proud, satisfied... His heart was filled with Calvary emotions.

Mom took a stack of banknotes in her hand and carefully rolled them over with her fingers to feel if they were real hundred-dollar bills.Then he handed the money to his sister-in-law.

The sister-in-law took the money in her hand, placed it on Gao Gao's chest, and asked, "Xiao Ben, where did the money come from?"

"I didn't pick it up." Meng Xiaoben smiled mysteriously.

"Then... we can't do illegal things!" Mom's voice suddenly became worried.

"Mom, don't worry, I didn't rob it. How could I be so capable to rob so much money? Sister-in-law, what do you think, do I look like someone who robbed a bank? Besides, I don't have a gun." Meng Xiaoben smiled , Try to make the atmosphere as peaceful as possible.

"How did you get it?" asked the sister-in-law, "Xiao Ben, you have to tell the truth. If you don't tell the truth, neither mother nor sister-in-law will ask for the money. Just send it back to where you got it."

"Sister-in-law, don't you still trust me?"

"I trust you, that's why I tell you that."

Meng Xiaoben was a little embarrassed.
