Chapter 124 Heartache

Chapter 124 The pain in my heart

After eating, Shen Man secretly went to the space to weigh himself, and sure enough, he had gained weight.

Now she weighs ninety-five pounds!

No wonder I have been feeling that my pants are not as loose as before. It turns out that I have gained weight.

But Shen Man didn't feel distressed, on the contrary, he was very happy. It would be fine if he gained ten pounds more, and he gained some strength.

In the next few days, the factory was very busy, and she was the one who was relatively leisurely in the entire workshop.

Despite this, no one dares to gossip behind his back.

Because they not only have people on top, but also have skills. They can increase the efficiency of the factory so much, how can they be ordinary people?

Even Zhang Qiang had no time to find fault. He was as tired as a dog all day long, and everyone was equally tired after working two shifts.

But today everyone is very excited.

At eight o'clock in the morning, both shifts had finished their meals, and each workshop began to receive Dragon Boat Festival benefits.

In addition to the basic two canned foods, each person also received ten eggs, a handful of vermicelli, and an additional subsidy of five yuan per person.

Shen Man also received benefits. Seeing others happy, he became happy too.

People nowadays are really easily satisfied. Having enough food and clothing is the greatest happiness.

However, in every era there are those who cannot afford to eat. Just like the Shangjiang Brigade where we stayed before, there are also those who cannot afford to eat.

The family's labor force is too small, and if they are distributed according to their work, they won't have enough to eat, but they won't starve to death.

Shen Man returned to the workshop with his things, and the people who came back had already started to continue working.

The two cans provided by the factory are canned chicken, pure chicken, with no other side dishes added.

The main reason is that it is not easy to can vegetables, and few of them can be preserved.

She continued to read and take notes. According to Director Liu, she estimated that she would be able to go to school in more than half a month.

But there was another exam before that. Although Director Liu said that the problem was not big and not too difficult, she was not from this generation after all and did not dare to take it lightly.

During lunch time, Shen Man went to the cafeteria and happened to bump into Ma Xiaoli, so he walked over and asked, "Sister Xiaoli, why haven't I seen you during the past two days while eating?"

She did know that the workshops were quite busy, but they had plenty of time for meals and lunch breaks, so there shouldn't be no people around.

Hearing this, Ma Xiaoli sighed and said, "Isn't this my youngest son who is sick? I don't worry about him being alone at home. I will go back to take care of him after lunch."

She looked very haggard. She was already busy at work, working two shifts, and taking care of her children, which meant she couldn't rest well at all. Now she was extremely tired every day.

Seeing this, Shen Man felt helpless: "Sister Xiaoli, where is your home? I'll go check with you during lunch break."

It doesn't matter where you eat. She ordered two dishes. She couldn't eat them and put them in the space anyway. It would be better for everyone to eat together.

Ma Xiaoli thought about it and agreed. Shen Man asked her to wait at the factory gate, went to the changing room, put two canned fruits in her bag, and left.

When a child is sick, eating something delicious will put him in a good mood, which will also help with recovery.

Their family lives in a family building of a food factory. It has two floors. There are external stairs to the second floor. There is a kitchen in the house but no toilet.

The cabin is just over thirty square meters, with two bunk beds, a dining table, two study tables, and a sewing machine.

There was no room for anything else in the room. Although the room was small, it was kept very clean and tidy.

"Xiaojun, mom is back." Ma Xiaoli said as she walked towards the upper and lower bunks. Lying on the lower bunk was a pale child, who was five or six years old and looked very thin.

"Mom..." Xiaojun shouted, and then she noticed the stranger behind her.

Children will subconsciously be cautious when seeing people they don't know.

Seeing this, Shen Man smiled and said, "Are you hungry, Xiaojun? My mother and I brought food back."

She put the lunch box on the table next to her, and then took out two canned fruits, one canned peach, and one canned hawthorn from the bag.

Eating some hawthorn will whet your appetite, but I don’t know what kind of disease this child has. If it is a gastrointestinal problem, then he cannot eat hawthorn.

There was also a large handful of White Rabbit toffees in her pocket, so she took them out too and put them on the table.

Xiaojun's eyes widened when he saw this. No matter how cautious he is, he is still a child. He will definitely do this when he sees something delicious.

Ma Xiaoli didn't know she had brought anything. She thought there was a lunch box in her bag, so she didn't ask.

"Sister, what are you doing?" She was not happy. She understood that everyone was just friends who met in the factory, but there was really no way for the other party to repay her for treating her like this.

Shen Man said with a smile: "I don't know what the child likes to eat, so I brought something. The child will recover quickly if he eats something delicious, so give him some food!"

After saying that, she changed the subject and opened the lunch box she brought.

Seeing this, Ma Xiaoli had no choice but to get the dishes and chopsticks first. As a mother, she felt distressed when her child was sick and couldn't eat properly.

In the past, children struggled to eat when they saw food, but now they can't eat much. The gap is huge.

After sitting down, Ma Xiaoli saw the food in her lunch box again and couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.

One stewed chicken with potatoes, and one braised pork.

How can Shen Man's appetite be enough to finish this?

The two of them usually eat together, so how can I not know how much she eats?

When I come to my home, I buy so many extra dishes, not because I want to share them with them.

Thinking of this, Ma Xiaoli felt even more uncomfortable, because in so many years, since the man passed away, she had never experienced anyone's sincere kindness.

But Shen Man was really kind to her, not only these small favors, but also his usual care that a stranger could not give.

Shen Man picked up the chopsticks and pinched the meat for Xiaojun, "Xiaojun, eat more. After eating, take a rest and then you can eat canned food."

It is definitely not good to eat right after a meal, as your stomach will not be able to bear it.

She turned to look at Ma Xiaoli and found that she was secretly wiping her tears.

"Sister Xiaoli, what's wrong?" Shen Man's heart sank. Could it be that the child's illness is very serious? Otherwise, why would he cry even during meals?

Xiaojun also noticed it, put down his chopsticks and cried: "Mom... don't cry, I will be fine! Wuwuwu..."

Children are like this. When adults cry, they lose their mind and start crying too.

Ma Xiaoli quickly retracted her emotions and comforted her child: "It's okay. Mom was just blinded by the wind. She's fine now."

This kind of lie...

It's really useful.

Xiaojun hesitated and stopped crying. He blinked and looked at his mother to make sure everything was okay, then picked up his chopsticks to eat.

After coaxing the child, Ma Xiaoli turned around and said, "I'm sorry, sister, I didn't treat you well when you first came to my house, and it cost you money."

Last time I went to Shen Man's house, I had good food and received warm hospitality, but now she is like this.

Hearing this, Shen Man waved his hand: "Sister Xiaoli, what are you talking about? Although we are not biological sisters, we are definitely much better than ordinary friends. I won't pick on you."

? ? ? Please give me a monthly ticket, please take pity on the poor child.
