C8 Some Warmth
Sometimes, when Xiao Hu encountered a problem, his mother's indifference would make him feel even more wronged. However, after he solved the problem, Xiao Hu felt that he had grown up again and was quite proud of himself.
Thinking about that, Xiao Hu couldn't help but hold Lu Xinfei's hand. Although his mother still had wrinkles on her face and was still as skinny as a withered tree, she sometimes gave people the illusion that she was an orchid in the sky. Of course, Xiao Hu didn't know what he meant by 'breathing out like orchids'. His teacher had told him that this idiom was used to describe a demure, beautiful, refined, and refined girl …
"..."
The second person who said that Lu Xinfei had changed was Zhang Yan.
Lu Xinfei and Xiao Hu accompanied Zhang An to his home and met with his mother, Zhang Yan. As soon as Zhang Yan opened her mouth, she said, "Sofia, why did Chen Dayong say you started running away from home? "Tell me what happened."
"It's nothing. He always hit me. Since he doesn't want a divorce, I can separate from him. Now that reform and opening up, there is no market for domestic violence. " Lu Xinfei said, taking it for granted.
Lu Xinfei understood Zhang Yan. In these ten years, Lu Xinfei's best friend was Zhang Yan. They were neighbors, and they were inseparable.
"Xinfei, you've changed, you've changed a lot!" Zhang Yan chuckled, but Lu Xinfei could see that Zhang Yan's laugh was forced.
"I heard your empress dowager came to nag you again?" Lu Xinfei sat down on a broken stool and rolled her pants. "What did she talk about? Do you want to quickly give birth to a few more children for the Tang Clan? "
The mud roads in the countryside were hard to walk on. Lu Xinfei wasn't used to the mud that covered her trousers. However, at this time, the farmer's uncle was more amiable, entering the house without taking off his shoes.
"What is the Empress Dowager?" Zhang Yan asked instead of answering. She blinked for a long time, unable to understand what Lu Xinfei was saying to her.
"Oh …" Lu Xinfei patted her head and looked at herself, showing off her exceptional performance. If this went on, Lu Xinfei would probably leave an impression of two hundred and fifty in the eyes of others.
Fortunately, Zhang Yan didn't want to pursue too much of the Empress Dowager's business at the moment, so she kept up with Lu Xinfei's train of thought. "Sofia, I feel like I have another …"
"Huh?" Lu Xinfei beamed with joy. "Really? "Congratulations …"
"I don't know yet, but don't reveal it to me. I only told you and my family's younger sister. My family's younger sister came over, but she just left for a while." "Don't turn your head and yell until the entire street knows. If I didn't really have one, it would be very embarrassing. It would make people think that I miss my children to the point of going crazy …" Zhang Yan lowered her head and fiddled with her clothes shyly.
"Your mother's sister came by? "Aiya, if I knew, I would have come over earlier to take a look …" Lu Xinfei laughed heartily as she racked her brains to recall who Zhang Yan's sister was and what she looked like …
"Didn't you just come home? "My sister didn't have anything to do, so she just told me …" Zhang Yan obviously stopped talking here.
"I'm just telling you to take care of your baby and not work too hard?" Lu Xinfei guessed the latter part of Zhang Yan's words.
"Mm …" Zhang Yan looked away, lowered her head in silence for a moment, then returned to the subject of the child. "My mother-in-law always complained that I didn't add anything to his house. I hope it was a boy this time."
"Well, I hope it's a boy." Although Lu Xinfei appeared perfunctory on the surface, she still felt uncomfortable in her heart.
In his previous life, Lu Xinfei had grown up in a family that valued boys more than girls. Grandmother despised Lu Xinfei as a girl, but in reality, she was extremely annoyed with her.
Even though she hated Lu Xinfei, she had not abandoned her. At least she had worked hard to raise her.
Lu Xinfei didn't like her grandma before, but after she left for 2015, her grandma was left alone in 2015. Thinking about this, Lu Xinfei not only erased her hatred towards her grandma, but she also started to feel heartache for her grandma.
Her grandmother had accompanied her for dozens of years. She had neither done nor did she work hard. But in her previous life, why did she hate her grandmother so much because her grandmother had ruined her mental health? Grandmother did not do it on purpose …
"Sofia, shouldn't you have another child?" Zhang Yan's voice rang out again, interrupting Lu Xinfei's train of thought, "You see, Chairman Mao is an old man who also praises many children, such as your great-grandfather. Your grandmother had seven sons and three daughters in a row, and was praised as a hero by Chairman Mao. How many people in the village do not respect your grandmother? "To bring honor to the Lu Family …"
Heavens, let Lu Xinfei hide in the hole quietly … Chen Dayong's grandmother actually gave birth to ten children in one go! Was this a child or a pig cub? Was it really possible to give birth like this? Don't mothers give birth to children with osteoporosis?
"..." Yes, yes, I remember. It wasn't a fake, it was definitely ten children. Because of this, Grandma was called a hero who took care of her children. If word of this got out, everyone would know about it! Note: This place is less than three hundred miles away.
"Alright, alright. I should head back now and busy myself with my work." Lu Xinfei did not want to continue on this topic, so she decided to escape as soon as possible.
In his previous life, Lu Xinfei loved Lin Yuheng so much that she didn't even consider giving him a child. In this life, Lu Xinfei had fallen to living with a scum like Chen Dayong. Let the scum Chen Dayong dream! His wife, whom he scolded or beat, had already turned into a shooting star. He was the one who was too uncherished to treat Lu Xinfei's true self. He actually knew nothing about what happened in the past, so he couldn't blame Lu Xinfei for being heartless.
Of course, Lu Xinfei would still feel heartache and regret when she thought of Lin Yuheng. If Lu Xinfei hadn't been so stubborn back then, if she hadn't been so afraid of the wolves and the tigers, if she had chosen to believe Lin Yuheng without hesitation and stopped focusing on her own business, instead of taking a step back and giving birth to a child for Lin Yuheng, Lin Yuheng wouldn't have been angry, wouldn't have been impeached by his parents and his sister, and wouldn't have been absent-minded, and wouldn't have …
At the end of the day, Lu Xinfei did not love Lin Yuheng as much as she thought she would. She did not dare to bet everything on herself. She did not dare to let herself back down.
Lu Xinfei had seen too much misfortune in the world and felt the unpredictable changes of people's hearts. She was intoxicated by Lin Yuheng's love circle, but she never dared to get drunk. She was afraid of betrayal.
She always felt that after his career transition, Lin Yuheng regarded his work as more important than hers. She just couldn't accept it, why can a man value his career more than his family, and when a woman was like that, she would be bombarded by people from all walks of life. Why?
But it was too late to say anything now. Regret would not help.
Lu Xinfei was a strong woman. She believed that no calamity in the human world would be able to defeat her. She would never have the thought of living a life lightly. However, the gas poisoning in his previous life was just an accident.
Therefore, even though Lu Xinfei had nothing left, even though she loved cleanliness and art the most in her previous life, and faced with her old face that was as lifeless as a withered old tree every day, she would not wash her face with tears.
While she was lost in her thoughts, Zhang Yan's voice suddenly interrupted Lu Xinfei's thoughts, "Why are you going back so early? It's been raining for a few days and there's not much work to do in the fields. You don't need to sleep early tonight." It's not easy to get together, so we might as well play for a bit longer. Look, in such a big village, just the two of us can talk. " Zhang Yan looked disappointed and frustrated.
Swallow ah, I'm doing this for your own good. With a body, you have to sleep early at night, how can you stay up late? Besides, the weather is not good today. Lu Xinfei came back to her senses and sighed.
If Lu Xinfei felt that she was pregnant, she would probably be unwilling to do any housework, not to mention that the rural areas she lived in were very rough.
"Aren't I just so depressed that I'm afraid I won't be able to fall asleep …" Zhang Yan lowered her head, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Tang Liuzi still hasn't come back to work?" It's already dark, are we still working overtime? " Lu Xinfei heard the old clock strike seven, it was seven in the evening.
"He's been coming back very late these few days. He said it's because the work in the town is too busy, so there's no need to wait for him to eat. But I'm still used to cooking and waiting for him." As she spoke, Zhang Yan went down the brick bed to look at the fire in the big pot.
"I'm not accompanying you to wait for your wife. I have to go back and make some food for Xiao Hu. He must be hungry." Lu Xinfei glanced at Xiao Hu, who was sitting beside Zhang An in the kitchen. Xiao Hu swallowed his saliva several times. It must be because he hadn't eaten a full meal for the past few days.
As a grandmother, she was too stingy and said that children did not have much physical work to do. They had to eat twice a day, so they could drink more water for their hunger.
Xiao Hu was growing up. As a grandma, she didn't know how to care for him at all. Since he helped him pull the plow to bring water so early in the morning, and the child's nutrition couldn't keep up, she wasn't afraid of tormenting the child until he didn't grow up.
Lu Xinfei's sister-in-law and five sister-in-law had no shortage of boys on their side. Including Xiao Hu from Lu Xinfei's family, there were a total of ten boys and three girls. Being a grandma didn't hurt as much as they thought.
Of course, with Lu Xinfei's personality, she didn't expect Xiao Hu's grandma to be left to Xiao Hu, because she wouldn't spoil her children that much. However, Lu Xinfei knew that Xiao Hu's grandma had a problem. She liked to hide and secretly eat the delicious food before leaving half of it for her grandpa to eat. Yet, she didn't leave a single drop for Xiao Hu. This was what Lu Xinfei's original body had told her.
