Lin Xiaohui left the family building, looked back, turned around and walked quickly towards the bus stop, taking the bus all the way to the lumber factory.
Lu Chengming is working in the workshop. He has returned to work since he was discharged from the hospital. He feels guilty and is afraid that everyone will see something. He has been working diligently for the past two days.
"Cheng Ming, there is a woman looking for you at the factory gate." A colleague's voice came from the door.
"Hey, here we come." Lu Chengming responded, handed over the work at hand to a colleague on the side, and turned around to go out.
"Xiaohui, why did you come here?" Lu Chengming frowned almost invisible when he saw Lin Xiaohui coming.
Since the doctor at the hospital said that he could no longer have children, Zhao Hong expressed that he was still willing to live with him, which made Lu Chengming feel somewhat guilty.
Lin Xiaohui was very happy to see him come out and quickly pulled him aside. Then she pouted and asked dissatisfiedly: "Cheng Ming, when are you going to marry me? My sister has been very strict with me recently, or I might as well live with you."
Forget it, go home."
"Stay at my house?" Lu Chengming didn't expect that she would be so bold. He was stunned and said, "I haven't even told my family about our affairs. Now that you suddenly say that you are staying at my house, it will not be good for your reputation."
"Cheng Ming, do you not love me anymore? Didn't you tell me in your letter that your daughter-in-law is old, ugly and a dominatrix, and you want to divorce her a long time ago? Do you want to go back on your word?"
Lin Xiaohui is not stupid. She gave herself to Lu Chengming. If he wants to turn against her now and refuse to admit it, she will be doomed in the future.
"Next door is your factory. If you don't give me an explanation today, I will ask your leader for an explanation. You didn't say you were married when you were trying to trick me."
"My aunt, please keep your voice down." Lu Chengming hurriedly reached out to cover her mouth: "I didn't say anything. Besides, doesn't it take time to get a divorce?"
Lin Xiaohui rolled her eyes at him and stretched out her hand to touch her belly: "I can wait, but he can't wait either."
Lu Chengming's eyes widened when he saw this, and he stuttered a little in excitement: "Xiaohui, you, are you pregnant?"
Lin Xiaohui nodded shyly: "My period is several days late, and I feel nauseous when I wake up in the morning recently. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to sneak out of the house in such a hurry."
When Lu Chengming heard Lin Xiaohui's words, he felt that the dark clouds above his head were gone.
"Don't worry, Xiaohui. Give me a few days. When I settle everything, I will go to my sister's house to propose marriage."
Lin Xiaohui didn't expect that a baby in her belly would turn into a baby bump. It worked so well that she immediately pursed her lips and smiled.
"My sister and my brother-in-law didn't agree with our affairs originally. When the time comes, the betrothal gift will be indispensable. I won't want any of the things left behind."
"Okay, I'll do whatever you want." Lu Chengming agreed happily. God was treating him well, and he, Lu Chengming, finally had a child.
After carefully putting Lin Xiaohui on the bus, Lu Chengming went back to the factory to ask for leave and rode his bicycle home directly.
…
On Friday, Chen Lishu and Zhang Xue took back the finished cotton-padded clothes. When they returned to the dormitory, Zhang Xue took out the cotton pants and tried them on. They found they fit perfectly.
"The weather has been fine these two days. It's better to wait until it gets colder in two days before wearing it again." Zhang Xue said and took off his cotton pants again.
"Lishu, have you decided what program to apply for?" Yang Lili put down the book in her hand and raised her head to ask.
Chen Lishu shook her head: "I haven't thought about it yet. Sister, what are you going to report?"
"I don't have any special skills. I heard that Jiang Yuwei and Sun Ling are preparing to play musical instruments, and Li He and the others seem to be performing dances."
"I think the three of us should sing a song together. Anyway, my arms and legs are very stiff, so I can't even think about dancing." Zhang Xue continued while folding her cotton trousers.
Chen Lishu smiled: "I think this proposal is good."
Yang Lili also thinks this suggestion is good: "Which song should we choose?"
Thinking of a classic English song, Chen Lishu said: "I know a song "Take Me To Your Heart"."
Chen Lishu hummed a few lines as she spoke, and Zhang Xue and Yang Lili were immediately stunned.
In their minds, the radio had always played loud and loud songs with revolutionary and patriotic themes. Except for Teresa Teng's gentle songs, this was the first time they had heard such a beautiful melody.
"Lishu, how come I never knew there was such a beautiful song? Where did you hear it?"
Zhang Xue put down what she was doing and rushed to Chen Lishu's bedside: "If you sing a few more lines, I won't be able to hear enough."
"I heard it by chance and thought it sounded good, so I wrote it down."
It couldn't be said that she heard it later, so Chen Lishu had no choice but to find an excuse. Seeing Zhang Xue and Yang Lili looking at her expectantly, she cleared her throat and sang the song in full.
After singing a song, Zhang Xue and Yang Lili couldn't come back to their senses for a long time. After a while, they realized what they were doing and pulled Chen Lishu to start learning impatiently.
Chen Lishu wrote the lyrics in a notebook and taught the two of them to sing it several times. In one afternoon, Zhang Xue and Yang Lili learned everything.
On Saturday afternoon, Chen Lishu took the ready-made cotton clothes and took the car to Chen Liyuan's school.
"Sister."
Chen Liyuan ran over quickly and her eyes fell on the big bag in her hand: "What's in it?"
"It's getting cold. My sister made you a new cotton-padded coat. How about it? Is it cold in school?"
Chen Liyuan pulled up her scarf and said with a smile: "I learned from my classmates. Fill cans and bottles with hot water, wrap them in towels, and hold them in my arms until the whole class is warm."
Chen Lishu smiled: "That's a good idea."
The bus came soon and the two sisters squeezed onto the bus with great difficulty.
After arriving home, Chen Lishu opened the door and found the "king" lying on the mat under the heater, snoring with his hands folded. Hearing the sound of opening the door, he lazily raised his head. When he saw it was Chen Lishu, he tilted his head and closed it again.
Eye.
"You first try to see if the clothes fit. I will enlarge the size according to your previous size. If it doesn't fit, I will change it for you. I will go to the service center to buy some meat later and we will make dumplings for dinner tonight."
Chen Lishu said as she put down her satchel and watched Chen Liyuan try on the cotton-padded clothes. The size was just right. She asked her to go back to the house to change out of the clothes. Then she took the money and net bag and went to the service center.
"Hey, have you heard? Camp Commander Wu's sister-in-law, Teacher Xiao Lin, who teaches in the kindergarten, is getting married. My dear, I heard that the betrothal gift not only comes with three rings and one ring, but also a fourteen-inch TV.
"
"Really? TV sets are not cheap. I saw they are sold in department stores, and they cost more than 400. Her husband's family has a registered permanent residence in the city, right?"
Wang Yufen said slowly: "Xiao Lin is very good-looking. We live across the street from each other. She is not as conservative as us. I heard about free love."
As soon as everyone heard what she said, there was something else in their eyes.
