Chapter 168: Auntie is a good person
Chapter 168 My aunt is a good person
Shen Man was about to do laundry when he heard someone talking outside.
"Where's the girl at home?" Ma Xiaoli poked her head from the fence with a smile on her face.
"Miss Xiaoli? Long time no see." Shen Man greeted with a smile, then hurried to open the door to let people come in and talk.
Ma Xiaoli did not come alone, she also brought two children with her.
Xiaojun was very happy when he saw his aunt who bought canned food for him before, so he opened his mouth and said, "Hello, auntie."
"Okay, okay, come in, it's quite hot outside." Shen Man led them into the house.
The other child was more shy and stood beside him with some restraint.
Ma Xiaoli pulled the eldest son and said, "Xiaoyu, come and call my aunt. The canned food you ate last time was given by my aunt."
She knew that her eldest son was shy, so she didn't expect him to say anything.
Xiaoyu just called aunt shyly, and then stopped talking.
This is always the case when I was in elementary school, either cheerful and self-acquainted, or very shy like Xiaoyu.
"Miss Xiaoli, I haven't seen you for so long, is the work going well?" Shen Man poured water for them, and then sat on the chair next to him.
Hearing that, Ma Xiaoli nodded and said: "It's going well. The work is the same, and nothing has changed. I just took a break these two days. I thought you should be at home, so I came to have a look."
Since Shen Man went to school, there was no chance for the two to meet each other.
Although she lives not far away, Ma Xiaoli still has to go to work every day, and needs to work overtime from time to time, so the chances of the two meeting each other are naturally much less.
"I'll bring my kids to play if I have nothing to do in the future. I'm not busy with school now. Basically, I only have one or two classes a day, and sometimes I take a break." Shen Man thought, the two of them could chat well, and the other was a nice person, so it was over. It's a pity that I can't contact you anymore.
And Ma Xiaoli thinks the same way, please get in touch.
Seeing that it was past ten o'clock, Shen Man said, "Should we eat here at noon? I don't know what to eat by myself, so I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it if there's leftovers. Just in time, you're here, let's make something to eat."
I thought of just eating some instant noodles to fool me, but there are people at home, so I can't fool me.
Hearing the words, Ma Xiaoli quickly refused: "Don't bother, we can just go home and eat. I passed by here today when I went to the health center to vaccinate my children, so I just wanted to come and have a look."
But Shen Man disagreed: "It's okay, I'll make it in a while, it's all commonplace, no trouble."
Saying that she had already entered the kitchen, Mi Tao sat on the stove and began to process the ingredients.
Seeing this, Ma Xiaoli could only roll up her sleeves to help. Originally, she wanted to come and see people, but she didn't expect it to be a meal.
The two children are sitting in the living room. Xiaojun is lively and active, touching this one and looking at that one.
"Xiaojun, be more honest." Xiaoyu put on a haughty face not to let his younger brother make trouble, for fear of breaking something.
Xiaojun curled his lips, and then sat on the sofa. Although he was dissatisfied, he was very obedient and did not run around anymore.
In the kitchen, Shen Man cut more than a catty of bacon hanging in the barn, and took out beans, ready to stew.
When passing by the living room, she took out a handful of candies from the drawer and gave them to them.
"Eat some sugar, the meal will be ready in a while."
After finishing speaking, he went straight to the kitchen without waiting for their answer.
Ma Xiaoli sighed, took the beans to deal with, and said: "I always trouble you, children don't have to get used to it."
"That can't be done." Shen Man objected to her words, and said: "You two children are sensible and obedient at first glance, and they are definitely not troublesome at ordinary times. Such children have to get used to it, otherwise children will also be under pressure."
Seeing her saying that, Ma Xiaoli actually agrees with this point of view.
Children do not usually make trouble, especially the eldest, who will watch his younger brother and teach him how to do things.
Aren’t you used to such a child? Must be treated better.
Shen Man sliced the bacon, then fried it in a frying pan for a while, then poured the washed beans into it and continued to stir fry, the taste was very fragrant.
The two children sitting in the living room couldn't help swallowing, it was really delicious.
In fact, not all children in the city live a good life. Some families have poor conditions and few workers, and it is not easy to eat.
Other families eat stew every three to five times, and they can eat it once a month.
Sometimes when Ma Xiaoli has something good, she won't give it to her children right away. It depends on whether there is enough food for this month. If it is not enough, we will exchange things for food.
In the case of filling the stomach, then consider adding meals. Otherwise, if you eat a good meal and are hungry for several meals, what are you going to do?
The meal was ready soon. In addition to a pot of stewed beans, there was also a cucumber cold dish.
It is indeed a common meal, and there are not many preparations.
Several people sat around the table, and everyone felt very happy while eating.
Especially for the two children, they may not have eaten meat for a long time, and after eating one or two pieces, they dare not pick any more.
"Come on, come on, it's so hot today, the leftovers will be spoiled and can't be eaten, eat more." Shen Man sandwiched meat for the two children, and Ma Xiaoli.
Eat the food by yourself.
Hearing this, everyone thought it was right, so they didn't hesitate, and each of them let go.
I have to say that these two children can indeed eat. Xiaoyu ate four bowls of rice, and Xiaojun ate three bowls.
With such a large appetite, it is no wonder that Ma Xiaoli is working so hard, it is not easy to just eat.
Shen Man admired her very much. She raised two children by herself and did not continue to have a family. Under such circumstances, it is very difficult to be alone.
After dinner, the two continued to chat, and mentioned the things in the factory. Knowing that the food factory is developing very well, Shen Man was relieved.
Ice cream and cold drinks are selling very well. This year’s profit is definitely better than last year, and it’s more than a little bit better.
Ma Xiaoli chatted a few words and left. She knew that Shen Man had class in the afternoon, so she didn't dare to delay for too long.
On the way back, Xiaoyu said: "Mom, why is this auntie treating us so well and giving us food."
He remembered that since his father passed away, no relatives had contacted them.
Grandpa and grandma are long gone, it’s okay, but relatives don’t move around anymore, which made him sad for a long time.
Ma Xiaoli said with a smile: "This aunt is a good person, remember to say hello when we meet in the future, don't be like today, it's very rude, you know?"
She doesn't need her children to please anyone, but she must respond enthusiastically to them.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be a white-eyed wolf.
Xiaoyu nodded obediently. Although he is young, he is obedient. What his mother said must be right.
The three of them walked farther and farther, until they disappeared at the entrance of the alley.
Shen Man packed up her things and hurried to school. Now she doesn't dare to take a rest, she would rather go early than get stuck in time.
She is afraid of delaying her time in class, and there will be a lot of things left behind after missing a class, so she is working very hard now.
Asking for a monthly pass!
