I Became a Vicious Supporting Role in the '70s-Chapter 288: A leader will come over soon

Shen Xiaobin rode his bicycle leading the way with Lu Xiangxiang, followed by five bicycles, each tied with large red flowers. Among them were his close buddies who grew up with him, as well as a few people from Luo Shihao’s factories, all joyfully following behind.

Early in the morning, several children from Mingyang had been waiting on the side, bicycling their way to the Shenji.

Shen Meng had just finished eating and was feeling full to the point of squinting.

She glanced at the wedding procession and got onto an ox cart that was carrying a sewing machine. Initially hoping to catch a quick snooze, the plan was dashed when the suona players at the crossroad blasted a few notes, and again when they were approaching the entrance of the village. Adding to that the bumpy ox cart ride, not to mention sleeping, she had her head bumped several times. freewebnoveℓ.com

Taking advantage of the others not paying attention, and with some obstruction from the bags, she took out an iced Americano from her space and took a big swig.

Burp~.

She felt completely revived.

Shen Meng had not been this stimulated in a long time, and she shivered.

Both Shen Fugui and Wang Guizhi were dressed neat and tidy today; whether it was Su Xiaomei or Lv Qinlan’s idea, Wang Guizhi even had a small red flower pinned to her hair.

The old couple had been waiting at the door for a long time and finally saw Shen Xiaobin bringing their daughter-in-law over. Seeing the bicycle team and hearing the sound of the horns, they were overjoyed.

"Here they come, here they come, the bride is being escorted over. Elder son, elder son, hurry and get someone to set off fireworks. Keep the children at a distance. Xiao Long, look after your younger siblings and make sure they don’t pick up any duds; don’t let them get their hands blown off by a surprise blast."

"Don’t worry, Grandma, you go greet the relatives at home, I’ll look after the younger siblings."

"Good, good. My eldest grandson has grown up and is so sensible nowadays. Qin Lan, it’s all thanks to your good upbringing."

Lv Qinlan reached out and stroked Xiao Long’s head. When her son was sent to Lu Family Village, she was very nervous, but over the past few months, not only had her son become very sensible, but he also made her a little cabinet that she thought was lovely.

She was full of gratitude towards Shen Meng. Having heard from Xiao Long, whenever Shen Meng had some tasty food, she would send some to the children. Whatever her own children had, Xiao Long would also have a share, not only food and drink but clothes and shoes as well. Now, her Xiao Long was indeed putting on quite some weight.

"Go ahead, later your younger brother Mingyang and the rest will come over too. You help your Aunt look after things, as we might have leaders visiting."

"Alright, I got it, Mom. You don’t just stand there the whole time either. Take a rest when it’s not too busy. I just went to the kitchen and got you a fried chicken leg, remember to eat it."

Lv Qinlan laughed and patted him, feeling extremely delighted that her son still knew how to be affectionate towards her.

After the firecrackers started, an elderly woman walked up to Lu Xiangxiang, whispered a couple of words to her, then helped her walk towards the courtyard, with Shen Xiaobin leading in front.

The children looked on at the bride and groom, throwing handfuls of corn kernels and inedible wild fruits towards the newlyweds.

Seeing this, Wang Guizhi became angry, picked up the broomstick at the gate, and was ready to discipline them.

The onlookers all joined in with peals of laughter.

When Shen Meng arrived at the courtyard leading Ming Kai and a few other children, she just witnessed this scene. Before she could speak, Mingyang and Mingliang darted over there. It was their uncle’s and Aunt Xiangxiang’s big wedding day. These little rascals dare to cause trouble; they would see if they don’t get teased back.

"Don’t run off too far; granny has prepared lots of delicious food for you all. Come over in a bit, okay?"

"Got it, granny."

"Mom, you don’t need to worry about it. It’s fine. I just saw Xiao Long and Xiao Hu over there. Let them play. You better go in quickly. In a while, Xiangxiang is going to offer you a toast. It would be embarrassing if they couldn’t find you when the time comes."

"Ah, ah, ah, you’re right, you’re right. Xiao Meng, it feels like a dream to me, I’m so happy. Just look at our family’s big courtyard. Your brothers are having such a prosperous time. And you’re making us so proud now. Mom never even dreamed of this before!"

Shen Meng’s heart fluttered; she looked at Wang Guizhi’s expression and always felt that it was suggestive, so she forced a smile.

"Mom, I didn’t expect that I would make it this far, either. I’ve always wanted to thank someone, and that is Mingyang’s teacher, Teacher Zheng. She is a girl from the big city who has never despised me, even when I had a bad reputation before. She taught me a lot, and recently she even taught me how to dance. Hey, you didn’t see us, two women holding each other and twisting, it was quite embarrassing."

Wang Guizhi heard about it from Xiao Long and had even been to see off Mingyang’s children to school, saying that the girl was an educated youth from Shangjing, coming from a very well-off family background. Fearing that she would suffer alone in the countryside, they repeatedly asked her to go back, but she just didn’t want to.

"Yes, I’ve heard from Xiao Long that Teacher Zheng is a very capable person. Heard she’s twenty-four this year, huh? Why doesn’t the girl want to go home? Her parents must miss and worry about her so much!"

"Mom, Teacher Zheng is someone with great love. When she taught me English, she told me that she wants to do her utmost to help the girls in the countryside get an education, expand their horizons, and do what they want to do, rather than having matchmakers arranging their marriages and them having children before they even come of age. She wants the girls in the countryside to also read and write. Nowadays, the Head Flower Factory, the Vice Foodstuff Factory, these are all being orchestrated by her in the background, just that it can’t be told to others. We’re all trying hard to help girls attend school and pursue education. Mom, make sure you don’t slip up and say the wrong thing outside."

Wang Guizhi took a deep breath after hearing this and tightened her grip on Shen Meng’s hand.

"Mom knows. Mom has it clear in her heart. Girl, your mother supports whatever you do. If you encounter anything you don’t understand or that troubles you, go to Teacher Zheng. If our family needs to exert some effort, just ask directly. Don’t shoulder it all by yourself."

"Mhm, I know, mom."

Mother and daughter walked hand in hand towards the main hall, and Shen Meng felt relieved. It turns out mom was just worried about her.

The Shen Family’s wedding was exceptionally well-organized. You didn’t even need to look at anything else; just the dishes alone were impressive, and as their fragrance wafted in the air, the passing dogs were all salivating with outstretched tongues.

After a while, the village chief and the secretary from Shenji came over, and they were all very enthusiastic when they saw Shen Meng. Shortly after, Li Qianqian and Hu Biao also came together, each carrying a congratulatory gift.

Cheng Yufen and Kong Wenhui hurried over as well, and upon seeing the two, Luo Shihao promptly joined.

"Auntie, mom, you came too. Why didn’t you tell me beforehand?"

"You little brat still have the nerve to say that? I went to your room early in the morning to call you, and you had already run off without a trace. I still thought about reporting to your old mother, what’s there to report, pfft."

Hearing Kong Wenhui’s voice from inside the room where Shen Meng was sitting and having tea with Li Qianqian and others, she quickly stood up. After saying something to those beside her, she went outside.

This was a guest who brought money; one must speak nicely!!!
