When the villagers learned that Li Jie had returned with more orders, their worries were suddenly thrown out of their minds.
In their perception, orders equal money.
More orders mean more money, and all the expanded wool can be sold.
There is nothing more important than filling your stomach.
Therefore, Li Jie once again felt the enthusiasm of the villagers. In just one day, his family received a bunch of agricultural and sideline products.
Although each person didn't send much, they couldn't handle the large number of people. We received a lot of eggs, milk, meat, etc.
After seeing off the last villager, Li Jie said hello to Qin Nan, and then came to Lao Xu's house.
As soon as Li Jie arrived outside the courtyard wall, he saw the figure of Lao Xu. At this time, Lao Xu was washing diapers in the yard.
"Old Xu."
Hearing this, Xu Lingjun looked back and said with surprise.
"Xiao Gao?"
"I'm back?"
Although Li Jie's return caused quite a stir, Xu Lingjun really didn't know about it. He was now focused on his child.
If you don't work every day, you can take care of your children at home.
"Um."
Li Jie smiled and nodded, then glanced into the distance.
"Are you free? Let's go out for a walk?"
"Okay, wait a moment."
After saying that, Xu Lingjun wiped out the diaper in the basin and then basked his legs on the railing of the yard.
"Xiuzhi, he is going out for a while and will be back soon."
Before leaving, Xu Lingjun did not forget to say hello to his wife in the house.
"Well, I'll go."
After hearing Li Xiuzhi's response, Xu Lingjun wiped his legs and walked out of the yard.
A few moments.
The two slowly walked to the open space outside the village. Seeing that there was no one else around, Li Jie revealed his purpose.
"Old Xu."
"Is my dad's name Xu Jingyou?"
As soon as he heard that name, Xu Lingjun felt as if he had been struck by lightning and was stunned. He saw him looking at Li Jie in surprise.
How did ‘Xiao Gao’ Fou know?
Although Xu Lingjun mentioned his father, he never mentioned his father's name.
Seeing Xu Lingjun's surprised look, Li Jie told the truth.
"That time, they went to the Canton Fair and met a foreign businessman."
"That person's name is Xu Jingyou."
"At first, he didn't know his identity, until one time, he and another comrade traveling with him mentioned my name."
"Then, he happened to hear me."
"After that, he found him and asked him for information about me."
"Although he didn't explain why he asked about me, based on what I told him before, he probably had a guess."
"So, he is really my father?"
After a long while, Xu Lingjun shook his head slightly.
"No."
"He does not deny his father."
"In other words, even if he doesn't, he is not his biological father, who really raised him, not his mother, not the country."
It was wrong for Xu Jingyou, and the former Xu Lingjun must have had hatred.
His status as a descendant of a capitalist brought him too much pain.
But now, Xu Lingjun feels that the suffering he suffered before is nothing.
Without those hardships, how could he have met Xiuzhi?
For some people, life is sweet at first, but then very bitter. Some people are born very bitter, but become happy in the second half of their lives.
Xu Lingjun feels that he belongs to the latter.
The happiness that Xiuzhi and her children brought to him was enough to soothe the pain of the past.
Therefore, Xu Lingjun is now wrong about Xu Jingyou, neither does he hate him nor is he cruel.
If Xu Jingyou appeared in front of him, he would definitely call him father, but more often than not, he couldn't do it.
In other words, there is no need for him to do it.
Since Xu Jingyou can come abroad as a foreign businessman, it means that the fault lies in material, and there must be enough.
In other words, Xu Lingjun is not responsible for old age care at all.
"He knows what I mean."
Li Jie patted him on the shoulder and reminded him by the way.
"Lao Xu, the country's current policies will gradually be relaxed. In the future, my father may appear in front of me one day."
"What would I do if I saw him?"
What will he do?
Xu Lingjun had never thought about that scene.
When he was young, his father traveled across the ocean to the other side of the ocean. Since then, he has never received any information about the wrong party.
In his mind, his father is already 'dead'.
Therefore, he never thought about that kind of cocoa.
Seeing Xu Lingjun's complicated expression, Li Jie did not stay there any longer. He felt that Xu Lingjun might want to be quiet.
"he's gone."
After saying hello, Li Jie turned around and left the scene.
Xu Lingjun, on the other hand, didn't seem to hear his words, so he just stood there stupidly.
He feels very confused now.
What would he do if he really saw that man again?
After a long time, Xu Lingjun came to his senses and found that Xiao Gao had left at some point.
After a while, Xu Lingjun returned home with heavy steps.
As soon as Xu Lingjun returned home, Li Xiuzhi noticed something strange about him. They had been married for so long, and it was the first time that Li Xiuzhi saw Xu Lingjun who was not in his mind.
Discovering her husband's strange behavior, Li Xiuzhi even put away the children, walked to her husband's side, and expressed concern.
"Lingjun?"
"What happened to me?"
Hearing his wife's call, Xu Lingjun smiled and shook his head slightly.
"fine."
"oh."
Seeing that Xu Lingjun was unwilling to say anything, Li Xiuzhi did not continue to ask, although she did not know why her husband was unhappy.
But as a wife, all she can do is stay by her husband's side silently.
No matter what difficulties they face, they will face them together.
…
…
…
No night.
Xu Lingjun was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
The news came too suddenly.
Was he really not prepared at all?
On the side, Li Xiuzhi noticed her husband's strange movement, and saw her slowly move closer to the side, and then silently hugged Xu Lingjun from behind.
"Lingjun."
"No matter what happens, he will be by my side."
"Don't worry, don't be afraid, he will deny me for the rest of his life."
After most of the day, Li Xiuzhi also thought a lot. From her perspective, the thing that troubled Xu Lingjun was probably the issue of identity.
She wondered if there might be some new policy here.
Then it affected Xu Lingjun.
However, Li Xiuzhi was not afraid. Even if Lao Xu wore the hat again, she would always stay with Xu Lingjun.
They rely on their legs to support themselves. If they don't steal or rob, what will happen?
In the darkness, when Xu Lingjun heard those words, his nose felt sore. Then he turned around and hugged his wife tightly.
"Xiuzhi."
"It's great to have me."
Immediately, silence fell again outside the bedroom. The two of them hugged each other tightly and listened to each other's heartbeats. No one broke the silence.
