Xu Yuqin sat alone on the steps, her tanned cheeks dark and solemn.
If, if that woman suddenly comes back and wants to start over with Lu Shengmin, what choice will Lu Shengmin make?
Will they rekindle their relationship?
Xu Yuqin couldn't help but think of the black and white photo that Lu Shengmin hid in the book drawer.
She knew that Lu Shengmin had always had that woman in his heart for so many years.
He couldn't forget her at all.
And she, a vulgar rural woman, can't compare with city people.
Xu Yuqin sat there with a lonely expression, and began to regret in her heart. If she had known this, she should not have sold the yard in Yinshui Village to Xu Zheng's third uncle.
She and Xu Zheng may be homeless one day.
...
Lu Shengmin followed Mr. Lu to the old house.
As soon as he entered the room, Mr. Lu looked at him with a dark expression and asked, "What does Li Shun want from you?"
Lu Shengmin had already seen something in the old man's eyes. He asked cautiously, "Dad, did he tell you?"
"What's going on? Who is looking for Lu Hao?" Mr. Lu asked again angrily.
Lu Shengmin lowered his eyes and spoke in a low voice, "Li Shun said he is Lu Hao's grandfather and wants to meet him."
After hearing what he said, Mr. Lu was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, "What the hell are you doing here? When the child was born, they didn't want it and threw it to you. After more than twenty years, the child has grown up.
Come here to recognize your grandson? Are you shameless?"
Mr. Lu thought of the bitter tears he went through in those years to raise Lu Hao, and when he thought that someone wanted to pick it up now, he became very angry.
Lu Shengmin was also very angry, but he did not dare to express his true emotions in front of his old father.
Afraid of irritating the old man even more.
Mr. Lu got angry, looked at Lu Shengmin again, and asked in a bad tone, "Grandpa Lu Hao is the only one here? Where is Lu Hao's mother?"
When the mother is nowhere to be seen, an old man comes to look for her?
When Lu Hao's mother was mentioned, Lu Shengmin's eyes wavered slightly and he shook his head, "I don't know, Li Shun didn't say."
Mr. Lu ordered him, "If I come here again, you will scold me and deny it."
"I told him that he admitted the wrong person." Lu Shengmin replied.
Mr. Lu rolled his eyes at him with disgust, "You nerd, since you can find someone in the village, you won't admit your mistake, just refuse to meet him with a strong attitude."
Lu Shengmin nodded,
"Don't tell Lu Hao about this first."
Lu Shengmin was talking to his father, and his eyes inadvertently fell on the banner hanging on the wall.
His eyes lingered on the three words signed by Chen Youde.
Then, the village chief's words suddenly came to mind.
Mr. Chen arrived in the county town, but because of physical discomfort, he went back...
He stared at those three words and couldn't help but have his thoughts flooded. Could the Chen Youde on the banner... be the one who was looking for a relative?
Thinking of this, Lu Shengmin's heart skipped a beat.
If his guess is true, then hasn't Lu Hao already met that person?
No, if his guess is true, the person who caused Lu Hao's disfigurement...
When the gentle teacher thought about this possibility, he suddenly lost control and punched the wall angrily.
Bastard, his Lu Hao really owes them!
Mr. Lu was startled by Lu Shengmin's actions. He looked at him as if he was a ghost and shouted angrily, "Why are you so crazy?"
Lu Shengmin was yelled at by his old father, and he realized that he was too aggrieved and couldn't control his emotions. He calmed down and said in a solemn tone, "Dad, that person's name is Chen Youde."
When Mr. Lu heard his incoherent words, he snorted, "I don't care what his name is."
"Look at the pennant on the wall." Lu Shengmin pointed to the pennant on the wall and reminded him.
Mr. Lu took a casual look.
Then, focus again...
He looked at Lu Shengmin in disbelief, "No, what do you mean? Could this person delivering the banner be the same person as Lu Hao's grandfather?"
Lu Shengmin looked serious, "I'm not sure either, but I heard from Li Shun that that man had been to Longshan, and Xiao Hao said at that time that he was rescuing an outsider."
When Lu Shengmin said this, Mr. Lu was stunned for a long time, and then he slapped his thigh angrily, "What a crime. My eldest grandson owed them everything in his previous life."
If it's really the same person, that's really a shame.
Lu Hao was cruelly abandoned from home when he was an infant. More than twenty years later, his eldest grandson was injured and disfigured as soon as he appeared.
Mr. Lu looked at the words on the banner, his face full of vicissitudes of life, and he was filled with anger, "You can't recognize it, you definitely can't recognize it."
.......
Jiang Nan drove Lu Xiaoyue to the door of Qin Feng's house. Lu Xiaoyue got off the bicycle and nervously pulled the corners of her shirt.
Jiang Nan looked at the specially dressed girl and hit her unceremoniously, "You forgot to promise me. If you are a nymphomaniac, leave now."
Lu Xiaoyue shook her head hastily, "I won't."
"Let's go."
Qin Feng's family had just finished dinner. Qin Feng was wearing a vest and exercising in the yard lifting stones.
Because of their profession, their physical fitness is very good, and they usually have strict requirements on themselves. Although they have thought of resigning, they never slack off in training.
Lu Xiaoyue blushed shyly when she saw the muscular man wearing only a vest and shorts.
"Officer Qin, where is Yunyun?" Jiang Nan asked the man who was facing away from the door and was seriously exercising with stones.
"Here is Fatty? She is making clothes in the house."
Qin Feng didn't even look at Lu Xiaoyue and continued to exercise.
Lu Xiaoyue's heart was pounding nervously.
Follow Jiang Nan into Qin Yun's house.
"Sister-in-law, are you here?" Qin Yun was cutting pants. When she saw Lu Xiaoyue following Jiang Nan, she smiled and said, "Xiaoyue, you know how to use a sewing machine, right?"
"Sister Yun, I can do it." Facing Qin Yun, a tailor master, Lu Xiaoyue was particularly respectful and polite.
"Okay, here is the fabric I cut. You look at the finished product and sew it, and I look at your craftsmanship."
Lu Xiaoyue sat in front of the sewing machine, put her feet on the pedal, and then began to sew properly.
Qin Yun stared at Lu Xiaoyue for a long time and gave a positive evaluation of Lu Xiaoyue's craftsmanship, "Did you learn this yourself?"
Lu Xiaoyue nodded hurriedly, "Yes, I learned it by practicing with old clothes."
"Not bad, I can learn to this extent."
Lu Xiaoyue said awkwardly, "I don't know how to cut."
Qin Yun smiled and comforted, "It's okay, learn slowly."
"Okay, let's get started." Qin Yun said to Jiang Nan, "Sister-in-law, then you can iron it for us."
Jiang Nan rolled up her sleeves and said, "Leave it to me." The three of them had a clear division of labor. They worked from after dinner until midnight, finishing a total of ten pairs of pants.
Lu Xiaoyue, a sewing machine worker, almost hit her head on the sewing machine table because she was sleepy.
Jiang Nan pulled out the threads of the iron and said, "Okay, let's take a rest. We'll do the remaining threads tomorrow. My eyelids are starting to fight, so don't get burned by the ironing."
Because it was too late, Jiang Nan and Lu Xiaoyue did not return to the village, and slept on the same kang as Qin Yun.
