Chapter 116
Lin Mucheng used to have a very cheerful personality. She was on the school badminton team when she was in junior high school and high school. She had many friends and hobbies.
But later she suffered too much hardship, which made her close herself off. She became taciturn and didn't smile as much as before.
Lin Mucheng compared herself with Fan Zhenzhen. She felt an inexplicable sense of inferiority, which made her feel a little breathless.
She used to be so dazzling.
"Mom."
Momo seemed to sense that something was wrong with Lin Mucheng and gently pulled the corner of her clothes.
Lin Mucheng, who was lost in thought, immediately came back to his senses.
"Momo, do you want to see the little rabbits? Mom will take you to the rabbit house to see the little rabbits, okay."
"Okay, I just saw a very big little rabbit."
Momo exaggeratedly gestured a big circle in the air.
"Mom saw it too."
Lin Mucheng took Momo's little hand and went into the rabbit house together.
"Dad."
Momo ran to find Meng Haisheng.
Meng Haisheng, who was talking to Fan Zhenzhen, turned around and picked up Momo when he heard Momo calling him.
"Mucheng, you are here too. This is Comrade Fan Zhenzhen from the city's research institute. I mentioned the rabbit plague vaccine to you yesterday. Comrade Fan is here to send us rabbits and vaccines today."
Meng Haisheng introduced Lin Mucheng to Fan Zhenzhen and the others.
"Hello, Comrade Lin, you look so young, and you are pregnant with your second child. I don't even have a partner yet."
Fan Zhenzhen was surprised to see Lin Mucheng with a big belly.
At first, she thought Meng Haisheng didn't seem to be very old, so she thought he was not married. She didn't expect Meng Haisheng's eldest daughter to be a housewife.
Lin Mucheng smiled at Fan Zhenzhen calmly, "Haisheng and I got married early, and we had children early."
When Lin Mucheng gave birth to Momo, she was not even old enough to get a marriage certificate. Later, Meng Haisheng and Lin Mucheng returned to the city, and when Lin Mucheng was just old enough, they quickly got a marriage certificate.
It can be said that if Meng Haisheng had not been so thoughtful at the beginning, and Meng Haisheng was not good to Lin Mucheng after Momo was born, Lin Mucheng might really try her best to find a way to return to the city.
This was a topic that Lin Mucheng was reluctant to mention, and she quickly changed the topic and asked Fan Zhenzhen and others to come into the house to talk.
The new house was built just a few days ago, and Meng Haisheng didn't even have time to buy furniture.
In order to entertain Fan Zhenzhen and others, he went home to move a folding table and brought a few stools.
There was nothing good to entertain guests at home, so Meng Haisheng simply brought the sour plum soup that Lin Mucheng loved to drink recently as a drink for everyone.
"Comrade Meng, we need to track and record the vaccination of rabbits. I'm afraid we need to stay in the village for a while. I wonder if you can help arrange it."
The research institute sent so many rabbits to Meng Haisheng for free. Not to mention that Fan Zhenzhen and others will live here for a few days, he will arrange it even if they live here for a year.
"My new house has just been built. It's a little damp and not easy to live in. I'll go to the old man's house next door to ask if he can let you stay there first. If there's no room, you can squeeze into my house."
"Our requirements are not high. Mei Ruo and I can live in one room, and Jianfeng and the other two can live in one room."
"Okay, how are you going to eat? Are you going to eat with us or cook for yourself? I've made it clear that we only eat simple meals, nothing special."
Meng Haisheng has always considered things carefully. He likes to put everything on the table and make it clear, so as to avoid problems later and easily hurt the relationship.
"We will do 4 rounds of experiments on rabbit plague vaccine this time. For a long time in the future, we will come to the village to stay for a few days from time to time, so when we come this time, we brought all the pots and pans."
Fan Zhenzhen looked at several large boxes in the yard.
"We even brought a small gas tank. We can just buy some vegetables from the village later."
Meng Haisheng secretly gave Fan Zhenzhen a thumbs up in his heart. He liked people like her who were thoughtful.
Mr. Meng's house has 4 rooms. The old couple lives in one room, leaving two empty. When they heard that Meng Haisheng wanted Fan Zhenzhen and others to live here, they had no objection.
"Grandpa, Comrade Fan comes to stay from time to time, which will definitely disturb you. How about this? I will help them pay 5 yuan a month for accommodation."
"How can this be possible? They won't live here forever. How can I ask you for money? Now I can make two earthenware cages to sell every day. Although I don't make much, it's enough for me and your grandmother to eat."
"In the future, you can just let Comrade Fan come to live here, as long as they don't mind my shabby house."
Meng Haisheng said anyway, Meng DashengI just don't want money.
He had no choice but to send some meat and vegetables to Fan Zhenzhen and the others in the future, and also send some to Uncle Meng.
Fan Zhenzhen and the others rested for a while and began to pack their things.
The gas tank she brought was very small, not much bigger than a bucket, and the gas stove also had a single burner and looked very small.
Lin Mucheng took a look at the small gas tank and felt a little melancholy.
She hadn't used a gas tank for a long time.
Cooking with that was much easier and more convenient than using firewood.
However, every household in the village used earth stoves, so she didn't mention this to Meng Haisheng.
But Meng Haisheng was very careful. Lin Mucheng only looked at the gas tank twice more, and Meng Haisheng guessed what she was thinking.
Meng Haisheng felt a little annoyed. Why did he forget about the gas tank? It was not difficult to buy a gas tank and a gas stove at that time. They were sold in the town.
While Fan Zhenzhen was cleaning the house, Meng Haisheng drove a tractor to the town to buy two red mats for them and a gas stove.
The two rooms of Grandpa Meng's house had been empty for who knows how many years, so Meng Haisheng went to buy two new mats.
When he arrived in the town, he didn't rush to buy mats. He turned around and bought a gas stove. He bought the largest gas tank at the time, and it also had two stove heads.
Such a set costs 50 yuan, and each time he comes to fill gas, it will cost 5 yuan per tank.
Although the price is a bit expensive, Lin Mucheng can cook at home in the future without bending over the stove, so Meng Haisheng feels it is still worth it.
Lin Mucheng, who returned home at this moment, felt very uncomfortable when she saw Meng Haisheng actively buying red mats for Fan Zhenzhen.
He had never been so active in helping her before, but now he saw a city girl coming and he was busy running around. She was also a city girl before.
The more Lin Mucheng thought about it, the more upset he felt. When he thought about the past, he secretly cried.
Momo, who was playing with dolls on the kang, immediately noticed that Lin Mucheng was crying.
She was very sensitive and stepped forward with her short legs.
"Mom, why are you crying?"
Momo stretched out her chubby hands and gently wiped Lin Mucheng's tears.
"Mom didn't cry. It was just that the wind was too strong and she squinted her eyes."
"Then let's close the window."
Although Momo was small, she could feel the sadness on Lin Mucheng.
She had experienced countless times before. When Lin Mucheng cried silently like today, she was very scared.
