After careful selection, Shen Rumeng finally finalized a set of books with pictures and words at a moderate price. She originally planned to order two, but when several mothers chatted about ordering books for their children, everyone thought that each person should order one, and then everyone took turns to see the best deal, so everyone discussed and decided in this way. After the mothers have completed the formalities and paid the money, they all began to wait for the day when the new books will arrive, and they are all looking forward to seeing the cute smiling faces of the children when they receive the new books. 

20 After a few days, the long-awaited new book was finally delivered to the mothers by the postman's uncle, who quickly opened the package and picked up the books they had ordered. The little ones were already so excited when they saw Uncle Postman that they were all chattering around their mothers, rushing to reach out to their mothers for books. 

Xiao Jingshu was the same, she stretched out her little hand to Shen Rumeng on tiptoe and said, "Mom, show me, tell me about it quickly!" Mom, I'm so anxious! ”

Shen Rumeng doted on her daughter in her arms, and then sat at the desk with her daughter, happily opened the new book on the desk and said, "Don't worry, let my mother tell you slowly!" ”

Looking at the new book opened by her mother, Xiao Jingshu immediately quieted down, she opened her big sparkling eyes, and listened to her mother whisper page by page of stories. The more Xiao Jingshu listened, the more fascinated she became, and asked her mother to talk over and over again, but she still couldn't listen enough. When her mother could no longer tell her that she had to go to work, she sat quietly and flipped through the pages by herself. 

Xiao Jingshu read the book with relish, and fell into the eyes of the mother next to her, which made Shen Rumeng feel very relieved in her heart, she thought happily in her heart: This book is really worth buying, I must buy more books and borrow books for my daughter in the future, so that she can read enough! 

Between the vegetable garden and the yard in front of the small house, there is a path that is not too wide, which is the passage between the other two neighbors, and the other vegetable garden behind the house is connected to the gable of the house. These two vegetable gardens are enclosed with wooden fences, and there are independent wooden doors on the sides of the wooden fences, which Yao Zhiwen made little by little in his spare time after moving into the new house with Shen Rumeng.

Seeing that spring is coming again, everything is recovering, the weather is getting warmer and warmer, and it is the season of the year when the young couple dig the ground and sow seeds in their own vegetable garden. Like the young couple, all the neighbors are also busy with farm work in their respective vegetable gardens at this time, and the husbands of each family naturally become the main force in digging the ground at this time. 

As soon as the weather warmed up, Yao Zhiwen began to use all the time outside of work to carefully dig up all the soil in the two vegetable fields, and then on the rest day after the vegetable fields were dug up, the couple would sow all kinds of vegetable seeds in the two vegetable fields together. Sowing, sprinkling, fertilizing, and cultivating soil...... In order to enrich the dining table of the small family, the young couple has been busy since the spring. 

At this time, the baby daughter Xiao Jingshu will run around the ground like a gust of wind to help her parents. said it was a help, but in fact, it was just handing over a seed and getting a glass of water or something, but it was also so busy that the little guy was in a hurry, and she was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth. From time to time, the little one will be excited to talk about how attractive the seeds will be, how delicious the food her mother will use these fruits to make for her, and every time she talks about the excitement, the little one will really drool!

Whenever the couple is busy working in the field, seeing their daughter so innocent and cute, both of them will be amused by the little guy and laugh happily, which is really better than any medicine, and will make them forget all the tiredness of their bodies at once!

These two vegetable fields, which are full of the sweat and laughter of the family, are planted with vegetables that cannot be separated from the table all year round, such as cabbage, radish, green onions, potatoes, beans, cucumbers...... Don't look at these two vegetable plots are not too big, but they have made a lot of contributions to this small family! The variety of fresh vegetables harvested from the vegetable field not only enriches the dining table of a family of three, not to mention saving a lot of money for the young couple to buy vegetables, but also allows the little couple to have a little bit of capital to save money!

The hard-working and capable little couple not only planted these two vegetable plots, but also raised some chickens, ducks, and big white geese in the yard. The little couple not only used the eggs laid by the poultry and the meat after slaughter to add color to the table of the small family, but also ensured that the family could eat nutritious food, so that their little Jingshu could grow up healthy and happy. However, in order to raise these poultry, the little couple is indeed not less tired, and as soon as Shen Rumeng rests at work during the day, he will pick some wild vegetables for poultry in the vicinity of the unit, and the couple will also go to the mountains to pick more wild vegetables together on their rest days. Under the careful and careful care of the little couple, their poultry are always fat and strong, and the eggs they lay are always big and plentiful, and the work of harvesting these eggs, duck eggs and goose eggs every day is Xiao Jingshu's favorite!

The little couple was busy from spring to summer, and when it came to the autumn of each year, Shen Rumeng, who could live, would blanch and dry all kinds of mountain vegetables they picked with boiling water, and keep them to cook and eat in the winter when there was a lack of ingredients.

And Yao Zhiwen, who also knows how to live, also invites neighbors and colleagues to help go to the mountains to harvest firewood for fires every year. Although the firewood harvested every year will be neatly piled up in a corner of the vegetable garden by Yao Zhiwen, but because he always wants to prepare enough firewood for his own house, he can't use up the wood every year. In this way, year after year, as time went by, the stack of firewood in the little couple's house became the largest among the neighbors, and it was still leading the way, and it was never surpassed by any of them. Later, the firewood stacks of the young couple's family were stacked too high, so Yao Zhiwen took out the excess firewood and sold it at the right time. Although the money from the sale is not very much, it has also become a small way for the young couple to have plenty of money.

With the diligent and continuous efforts of the little couple, the small life of their family of three has become better and better day by day. 

Although the young couple work the same hard in life, they gradually have differences in work. In order to take better care of her daughter and husband, Shen Rumeng mainly focused all her energy on her family, so her performance at work was a little average. has been working for a few years, but Shen Rumeng is still doing the work of distributing meal tickets in the canteen, and there has been no change at all. And her husband Yao Zhiwen is completely different from Shen Rumeng, he is not only shrewd, but also very hardworking and serious, plus he has a good wife who is willing to pay for him and be his virtuous help, so his performance at work is particularly prominent. 

On a sunny morning, when Yao Zhiwen was still working in the unit, he received a report from a mechanic exam he had applied for a few days ago. When the doorman in the unit handed over a document bag with the words "notice" that he had just received to Yao Zhiwen, he immediately opened the file bag excitedly. Yao Zhiwen felt that his hands were trembling slightly, and he carefully opened the notice in the file bag, and when he opened it, the red word "pass" immediately came into his eyes. 

Yes, Yao Zhiwen's efforts were not in vain, he not only passed the exam successfully, but also passed the national mechanic exam with excellent results. 

The leaders and colleagues who got the news came to congratulate him enthusiastically. Although Yao Zhiwen was a little excited, he still controlled his emotions well, politely thanked the leaders and colleagues one by one, and said many humble words. But as soon as Yao Zhiwen got off work and returned home, he was so excited that he immediately took the document bag containing the notice to his wife Shen Rumeng, who was cooking, and shook it in front of his wife, Shen Rumeng, who was cooking. However, Yao Zhiwen still held back his excitement and didn't speak, just looked at Shen Rumeng with a bright smile, because he wanted to give his wife an unexpected surprise and let her experience that excitement. 

Shen Rumeng didn't know what was in this document bag, but when he asked Yao Zhiwen, he still refused to say a word with a smile, so Shen Rumeng, who was a little made to cry and laugh, immediately put down the work in his hand and opened the file bag by himself. 

Looking at the content inside, Shen Rumeng immediately became overjoyed: "Zhiwen congratulations!" You've finally made it! Great, we're going to have to celebrate tonight! ”

Yao Zhiwen looked at Shen Rumeng affectionately and said softly: "Rumeng, I have finally been admitted, and I will have the opportunity to be promoted in the future, and my salary will also rise, are you happy?" ”

Shen Rumeng nodded again and again, she was so excited: "I'm happy!" Of course I'm glad! Our whole family is happy! You're the pride of our mother! ”

At this moment, the baby daughter Xiao Jingshu seemed to be infected by her parents, she immediately put down the picture book in her hand, and jumped over to join in the fun with the adults. With an expectant expression, the little guy looked at the two adults and pouted softly, "Mom and Dad, what are you talking about, do you want to celebrate?" Isn't it going to be delicious? ”

Shen Rumeng picked up her daughter at once, kissed her little face vigorously and said with a smile: "That's right, it's just to make it delicious, let Dad kill a chicken, and Mom stew it for the baby, okay?" ”

When Xiao Jingshu heard this, she immediately danced and shouted happily: "Mom, I want to eat, Mom's stewed chicken is the best!" ” 

"Okay, dad is going to kill the chicken now, don't worry, baby!" 

Yao Zhiwen immediately turned around after speaking, and walked towards the chicken coop outside the house with a light step and a smile. 

"Dad, you're so good, Dad! Hurry up, I want to eat it now! ”

Xiao Jingshu, who is so happy, gives full play to her advantages of being able to speak, and of course her parents are also very useful!
