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

The old lady, Xu Manyue and the other two talked with Aunt Xu for a long time and comforted her for a long time until it was very late and they had to go back.

The three of them left, and Aunt Xu felt a little better. She insisted on seeing them off.

After returning to the Shen family, Xu Manyue looked at the watch on her wrist. It was already past ten o'clock in the evening.

The semester is almost over, and several students in her class are about to take the entrance exam from elementary school to junior high school. They are the first group of students she has taught, so she naturally hopes that they can all be admitted to junior high school.

Tomorrow is her last time to conduct a final baseline training with these students, so she must arrive at school early.

Therefore, after washing up, Xu Manyue went straight to bed to rest.

The next morning, she arrived at school and Principal Qian called her over again. "It's Manyue, and the students in your class will soon be taking their official exams. How confident are you?"

The two had discussed this issue before, but in order not to put too much pressure on Xu Manyue, he just asked her to try her best. After all, the educational resources of rural primary schools are indeed far inferior to those in the city.

If there are five children in a class, it is considered very good if one can be admitted to junior high school.

Xu Manyue thought for a moment and said, "Teacher, wait a few days. When their results come out, you'll know."

"But I can guarantee you one thing: among the five of them, one will definitely be able to get into junior high school."

There were some things she didn't want to say too confidently, after all, there were always surprises in this world, but she still had the necessary guarantees.

Principal Qian's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally relaxed a little after hearing what Xu Manyue said, and his expression became more relaxed.

"Your words are enough."

He didn't know about others, but Xu Manyue was a student he had taught personally. If she hadn't been unable to continue her studies, she would definitely be a potential college student.

It's just a pity.

But she is now a teacher and has good abilities. He has attended her lectures several times. It must be said that Xu Manyue is also extremely talented as a teacher.

However, this person will have to join the army sooner or later and will not stay in school for long. Otherwise, he would really like to train her to be his successor.

After Xu Manyue came out of the principal's office, Meng Xiao stopped her again and asked, "Sister Manyue, why don't you ride your bike to and from get off work recently?"

“Walking is so tiring.”

Xu Manyue smiled and said, "I'm pregnant, so it's not suitable for me to ride a bike now."

Meng Xiao was stunned for a moment, his eyes subconsciously falling on Xu Manyue's belly, "Really? Aren't you tired of walking to and from get off work?"

Xu Manyue shook her head. "It's okay. It's not too late now, so walking is no big deal."

When the students in her class graduate, it will basically be summer vacation at school. She will rest at home for a month or two. By then, the baby in her belly will be about five or six months old.

It is indeed difficult to walk from the brigade to the commune to work. She plans to wait and see the situation. If she can still go to work, she will live in the school’s teachers’ dormitory for a month or two and then take leave to have a baby.

If you can't go to work, just take a leave and stay at home to take care of the baby.

In fact, in rural areas, most women have to continue working when they are pregnant.

Some even take a break for a few days before giving birth, and then go back to work in the fields after giving birth; some give birth directly in the fields.

Meng Xiao remembered why he came to see Xu Manyue today. "By the way, Sister Manyue, do you know where you can buy eggs in the commune?"

Xu Manyue glanced at her in surprise, "Don't you not eat eggs?"

Before, Shen Jianping gave her a boiled egg, but she didn't touch it until the egg went bad and then threw it away.

Meng Xiao shook his head. "It's not for me. It's for a student in my class. Her grandmother is very ill. The rest of her family has fled the famine. Now she and her grandmother are the only ones left to depend on each other."

"She hasn't been to school recently because of this. I thought of bringing some eggs and going to see them."

"But now there are no eggs in the supply and marketing cooperatives. The same is true in this town and the county. There is nothing to buy food."

It seems that the famine has become more serious.

Xu Manyue pursed her lips and said, "Nowadays, families in the countryside who have eggs are reluctant to sell them. You should also know that these days, nothing is as valuable as food."

"However, you can ask Er Ming, maybe he has it."

Yang Erming is the student in her class. He has two old hens at home, and the eggs laid by these two old hens are the source of part of his tuition.

Meng Xiao also remembered this person, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "Okay, I'll ask him when the time comes."

Yang Erming was the person who usually helped her find firewood. He paid ten cents for a bundle of firewood, and he delivered firewood to her every month.

……

After get off work, Xu Manyue did not go back to the Shen family first, but went to Uncle Xu's house first.

When she arrived there, Aunt Xu was still the only one at home.

However, at noon today, Xu Weimin came back and said that Uncle Xu's condition has improved because he was sent to the county hospital in time and there was nothing serious wrong with his leg.

Therefore, Second Aunt Xu's mood also improved a lot. She took Xu Manyue's hand and said, "Manyue, stay for dinner today. I'm alone at home now. If you stay, I'll have some company."

Xu Manyue wanted to refuse. After all, no one was rich and most people would not stay at someone else's house for dinner.

But Aunt Xu seemed to have anticipated her refusal, so she raised her hand to interrupt her.

"Man Yue, you borrowed some food coupons from your cousin yesterday, so you two cousins stayed in the hospital to take care of your second uncle."

"Without food stamps, they wouldn't even have enough to eat, let alone stay and take care of others."

Xu Manyue had no choice but to stay and eat together. When Aunt Xu went into the kitchen, she followed her in and planned to help.

But Aunt Xu stopped him again, "Man Yue, you have a baby in your belly now, and I am enough in the kitchen. You should rest first and don't work too hard. It's not good for the baby."

"Before, your second uncle and I were always worried that since you were married off as a replacement, your relationship with Jingming might not be harmonious, especially since you still don't have a child. The last time Jingming came back, I was planning to talk to you and ask you to hurry up and have a child."

"But your second uncle persuaded me. He said that you and Jingming are not in the same place now, and there is famine everywhere. It would not be good for you to be pregnant, so he asked me not to get involved."

"But I didn't expect that you would be pregnant in the blink of an eye." Aunt Xu said with a smile and couldn't help sighing.

She only found out about the pregnancy when we were chatting last night.
