Famine Bride: Marry into the best in-laws and win

In a blink of an eye, it was the day when Shen Jingming returned to the army, and it was also Xu Manyue's first day at work.

The night before, he had packed all the necessary luggage. His train was at eight in the morning, so he had to get up early to go to the county town and board the train early.

It was early in the morning and the sky was dim.

Xu Manyue was in a daze when she found that the people around her had already gotten up.

She opened her eyes, sat up from the bed and saw Shen Jingming putting on his military uniform jacket. Under the dim light of the kerosene lamp, his cold eyebrows and eyes seemed even deeper, his nose was high and straight, and he looked even more handsome and imposing.

Xu Manyue yawned, picked up the clothes beside her and started to put them on. "Why didn't you call me when you got up? I could go make you something to eat so you wouldn't be hungry on the way."

As she was talking, she had almost put on her clothes and was groping to get out of bed.

Shen Jingming reached out and stopped Xu Manyue from moving. "No need. It's still early. It's your first day of class. You should sleep a little longer."

"I won't eat. I'll eat on the train later."

There are boxed lunches on the train. No tickets are required, but money is required.

Xu Manyue thought about it and realized that there was really nothing delicious at home. Except for eggs which were slightly better, the rest were not as good as the boxed lunches on the train.

So I didn't insist anymore, "Okay, then remember to eat breakfast."

Shen Jingming nodded, covered her with a quilt again, and placed five Great Unity coupons, several three-jin food coupons, a two-liang brown sugar coupon, cloth coupons and other coupons on the bedside.

"Well, you can continue to sleep."

Xu Manyue fell asleep again in a daze. When she woke up again, the man was no longer in the room, but there was a pile of money and tickets at the head of her bed.

She sorted these things out one by one. There were fifty yuan in total, as well as cloth coupons, sugar coupons, and grain coupons.

Suddenly, a sense of emptiness welled up in my heart. Was it reluctance, attachment, or perhaps just a simple lack of accustomedness?

Xu Manyue looked at her watch. It was only seven o'clock in the morning. It was time to get up and go to work at the commune primary school.

After putting away the tickets and money, she packed up, washed, and got dressed.

But when she just got out of bed, her whole body was sore. Last night, Shen Jingming was more brutal than ever before, and her body was still covered with bruises.

As for the matter of children, after Shen Jingming came back, the two also talked about this matter. Considering that the famine was still very serious and it was not a suitable time for the birth of a child, he always did it outside.

Except last night, the two of them stayed up too late and were too tired, and accidentally got some in.

Although it was made in time, we didn’t know if there would be any accidents.

Xu Manyue thought about it and decided that with the Shen family's current conditions and the things in her system mall, if she really got pregnant by accident, it wouldn't be impossible to give birth to the child.

Today is also Shen Baozhu's first day going to school.

Lin Luoxia got up early, washed and dressed the child, and gave her some instructions, "Baozhu, call me Third Aunt at school, remember to call me teacher, and only call me Third Aunt outside."

"Also, if you encounter any problems, be sure to find your Third Aunt."

Shen Baozhu nodded obediently.

Her father and mother had said these words to her many times, and she had understood them a long time ago.

Xu Manyue pushed the door open and came out of the room. Lin Luoxia had already prepared breakfast. Seeing her, she quickly smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you're up. Come, sit down and have breakfast."

“Remember to eat your eggs.”

On the dining table, there were a few boiled sweet potatoes and a boiled egg.

The old lady had ordered the eggs to be cooked specially for Xu Manyue last night.

"Thank you, second sister-in-law."

Xu Manyue sat down with a smile, cut the egg into two, and gave half to Shen Baozhu, who was sitting beside her, swallowing her saliva as she looked at the egg.

"Baozhu, come and eat eggs."

Shen Baozhu's eyes lit up instantly. She reached out to take half an egg and began to eat it excitedly. "Thank you, Third Aunt."

Although the eggs at home no longer need to be saved to exchange for money, she is just a granddaughter and it is difficult for her to eat an egg on a normal day.

The beginning of every month is the day she looks forward to most, because only on that day can she eat a bite of eggs.

Lin Luoxia had a better impression of Xu Manyue in her heart, but she still had to say what she had to say.

"Third sister-in-law, an egg is such a precious thing, and mother only gave you one, and you gave half to Baozhu. This is so embarrassing. Don't spoil her."

Xu Manyue touched Shen Baozhu's little head and said, "It's okay. The child needs to nourish his body more than I do."

She also knew the second wife's plan, but she was somewhat fond of Baozhu, and would help her to the best of her ability.

After dinner, Xu Manyue rode her bicycle to work at the commune. As for Shen Baozhu, today was her first day of school, and Lin Luoxia and Shen Laoer took her there personally.

There was no need for her to interfere.

In about half an hour, she arrived at the commune primary school. Xu Manyue first found Principal Qian to report, and then she was assigned to teach fourth and fifth grade children.

Today's primary schools are five-year programs, and after finishing fifth grade, you can enter the first grade of junior high school.

Xu Manyue had prepared in advance what classes to take, and the first class was the Chinese class for the fifth year.

As soon as she entered, she saw only four or five students in the shabby little classroom. Some of them were in better conditions and looked less sallow, while others were so hungry that they could hardly stand up, but still insisted on coming to class.

Before coming to class, Principal Qian told her that there were originally more than 20 children in this class, but due to the famine in recent years, the number of children has gradually decreased, especially this year, there are only five children left.

After Xu Manyue attended classes at school for a few days, she finally heard the news that the relief food had arrived from above.

In an instant, the entire Qingshan Brigade became excited, especially those who were almost hopeless, who finally saw a glimmer of hope.

The newly appointed team leader was called Hong Quan. He took out the long-missed loudspeaker and announced the news to everyone in the team office.

The food will be distributed tomorrow afternoon, so don't be late.

Xu Manyue was also happy. Although the food was not much, it could temporarily solve the urgent problem.

Especially for Grandpa Yang, who had been silently waiting for relief food in the cowshed for the past month, he can finally rest assured.

The entire Shen family was extremely happy.

In the evening, everyone sat together to discuss how to collect food tomorrow.

The wrinkles on the old lady's eyes and eyebrows deepened from her smile, and the stone in her heart that had been hanging in the air for the past few days finally eased a little.

"This time, the relief food is distributed based on population. Adults will receive five kilograms of corn flour each, and children under ten will receive two and a half kilograms of corn flour each."

"Our family should be able to receive 47.5 kilograms of corn flour this time, mixed with wheat bran, sweet potato leaves, and dried sweet potatoes, which should be enough to last for a few days."
