Chapter 191
"you're back."

Hearing the sound of the door being pushed, Mrs. Meng thought it was Chen Yuanlu who had come in, so she didn't raise her head. Now when she heard Chen Anxia calling her, she raised her head in response.

With a smile on his face, the smile is full of love.

that's nice!

Looking at Meng's doting look at her, Chen Anxia's heart was full at the moment.

"Well, I'm back."

Meng Shi was very relieved of her, every time she went out and came back, she would not ask where she went.

But this doesn't mean that Mrs. Meng doesn't care about her, otherwise Mrs. Meng wouldn't ask her every time she came back.

Chen Anxia nodded, walked into the room, closed the door, and sat down on the stool next to Mengshi.With nothing to do, she just watched Mrs. Meng repair her father's shoes.

"Okay, it's finally fixed."

Before Chen Anxia entered the room, Meng's shoe mending had already come to an end, and she finished mending not long after Chen Anxia sat down.

After collecting the thread, she picked up the scissors and cut the cotton thread. She picked up the shoe and looked at it again and again.

The shoes are a bit old, but fortunately, the shoes are patched with old cloth, and the two kinds of cloth are the same color, so if you don't look carefully, you won't be able to tell whether the patch is patched or not.

But in this rural area, who doesn't wear patched clothes, no one will laugh at them if they go out like this.

"If we split up, I don't want this broken shoe, I just throw it away."

Looking at the mended shoes, Meng Shi suddenly said this.

It seems to be a sigh, but the feeling is true.

Now they have been selling plasters for a month or two, and they have saved as much as seven taels of silver.

Seven taels of silver can buy half an acre of Susukida.

If they lived frugally, it would be enough for their family of six to spend a year.

Of course, there is a premise for this, and the premise is that they have a few acres of land in their hands.

Chen Anxia was stunned for a moment when she heard Meng Shi's soft complaint, and then glanced at Meng Shi, but didn't say anything.

If the life at home continues like this, there is indeed no hope, especially if Chen Jinghao does not pass the exam this time as a scholar.

If the families were not separated, the family would still have to contribute their own labor to provide for him to continue his studies.

"What are you two doing sitting here?"

As soon as Chen Yuanlu came back from the field, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Mrs. Meng and Chen Anxia sitting at the side of the table in a daze.

Dazed for a moment, he glanced over the two of them cautiously, and asked a question.

When he asked, Meng Shi came back to his senses, glanced at him lightly, picked up the shoes on the ground, handed them to him, and said, "It's nothing, I mended the shoes for you, can you see if it's okay?"

"If there is anything you can do, just wear it," Chen Yuanlu said indifferently, but he still reached out to take the shoes and looked at them carefully, "Not to mention, the lady's craftsmanship is really good, and there is no trace of mending at all."

There are still traces of patching.

Chen Yuanlu said this entirely to please the Meng family.

Hearing this, Mrs. Meng curled her lips, rolled her eyes at him, and said angrily, "Slick. Alright, you change your shoes quickly, and you can go out on patrol in them at night. I just gave you those shoes on your feet." You wash it, and I will make up for you by the way."

"Oh, I don't know how you wear your shoes on weekdays. I just repaired these shoes for you not long ago."

When Meng asked Chen Yuanlu to change his shoes, her eyes shifted to Chen Yuanlu's feet.

Looking at the pair of cloth shoes on his feet that were covered with plaster and had a small hole in them, Meng began to chatter.

She can wear a pair of shoes for several months or even a year without breaking, but he is good enough to mend them after wearing them for ten days and half a month.
