Chapter 599 Keep Both Husbands

Zhang Heyao looked at the bowl of steaming, plain-looking noodles, and his throat moved slightly.

This is the taste deep in his memory.

It's just that I haven't eaten it for a long time.

In her memory, her mother taught her how to cook.

At that time, she seemed to have just come home. She was a yellow-haired girl, thin and small. She had to stand on a small stool to put the shovel into the pot.

Her family was very poor and she couldn't afford to eat well, so although she had done many jobs, she was not very good at cooking pure fine grains.

The first time she kneaded dough, she added too much water and couldn't make the dough.

Because in the past, when her family used sweet potato flour, they had to add more water.

As a result, when using flour now, more water is added.

Then she stood there, at a loss, and so anxious that she was about to cry.

Zhang Heyao couldn't stand her foolish behavior and couldn't help but said, "There's too much water. Can't you just add noodles?"

"But, but if I use too much flour, Mom will beat me."

"It's not your poor family, my mother wouldn't do that!"

Now when Zhang Heyao thinks back on it, he wonders how he could have spoken so harshly when he was a child.

But Lu Qin's mother didn't feel it at all. She felt relieved and said happily, "Thank you, brother," and then went to add flour.

Come to think of it, that was twenty years ago.

Zhang Heyao felt a lot of emotions in his heart.

Life is so fleeting, and only now can I appreciate the accuracy of this phrase.

"Dad, why don't you eat?" Xiaoman couldn't help but get anxious when he saw Zhang Heyao not moving his chopsticks.

"Dad, do you want to eat meat?" He stood up, "I'll go get some money to buy you a roast chicken!"

"No need." Zhang Heyao pushed him to sit next to him, "Dad's favorite food is the food your mother cooks."

After a long journey, with only dry food and cold water, this bowl of noodles was so delicious that it captivated me.

"Dad, eat an egg! This salted egg yolk is so delicious!"

Xiaoman used her clean little spoon to carefully scoop out the most essential and oily yolk from the salted duck egg and put it into Zhang Heyao's bowl.

"The ducks were raised by my mother, and I released them. However, during the war, the ducks were donated." Xiaoman said this, feeling a little reluctant.

"It's okay. If you like, I'll take you out to buy more after dinner."

"No, Dad, we can't buy ducklings until spring!" Xiaoman said this with great confidence. "My mom said she'd buy me a few more next spring to keep."

Zhang Heyao looked at the salted egg yolk dripping with oil in the bowl, his mouth curved slightly into an almost invisible arc, and he whispered, "Okay."

Lu Qin's mother watched from the side, feeling so jealous.

Xiaoman treats Zhang Heyao better than her.

Although it should be so, it is still sour.

When Zhang Heyao was eating noodles, Xiaoman would lie on the table, holding his little cheeks, watching his father eat noodles without blinking, happier than eating himself. From time to time, he would ask, "Dad, is it delicious?"

"Yeah." Zhang Heyao responded briefly, but in a soft tone.

"Dad, eat slowly, don't burn yourself."

"Um."

Lu Qiniang thought to herself, no wonder Zhang Heyao favored Xiaoman.

Who wouldn’t love such a sweet child?

Zhang Heyao rented a house on the street behind Lu Qiniang's house.

Xiaoman naturally wanted to go with him.

But he couldn't bear to leave Lu Qiniang, so he wanted to take her with him.

Lu Qiniang sighed and touched his head. "Xiaoman, you are not young anymore. You have read a lot of books and understand many things that I don't understand. So now, I don't want to hide it from you."

She recounted what happened that year one by one.

"Mom doesn't know how much you can understand. But it doesn't matter. It's okay to understand as much as you can. When you grow up, you will understand."

You will understand that there is no perfect solution in this world. Everyone is compromising and has no choice.

"What mother wants to tell you is that Zhang Heyao is indeed your father. You must never forget his kindness in raising you, and mother will not forget it either."

"But you have your own father. His name is Xiao Yan, and he is also a very good person."

Thinking of Xiao Yan, Lu Qiniang couldn't help but smile.

"He's a great hero..."

"Mom, I, I know you are married to Xiao Yan now." Xiaoman said in a low voice.

He is not a fool either.

Lu Qiniang has been in the northwest, and has always regarded herself as Xiao Yan's widow. How could Xiaoman not know this?

Little thing, very smart!

He pieced together a "truth" on his own.

His biological parents separated, and Xiao Yan, the bad guy, took his mother away.

Fortunately, the big bad guy is gone now.

His parents can be together again.

Yes, Xiaoman even noticed Lu Qinniang's alienation from Zhang Heyao.

That's why he deliberately brought these two people together.

"Xiao Yan is your biological father." Lu Qin's mother said, "I had no choice but to leave you in the capital. Xiaoman, please don't blame him."

Thinking of Xiaoman blaming Xiao Yan, Lu Qin's mother felt heartbroken.

"I don't blame him." Xiaoman nodded sensibly.

The person is dead and my mother is so sad.

If he continues to hold on to her, my mother will be even more sad.

My mother will dislike me because of this, and then I won’t be able to match her up with my father.

Lu Qiniang immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Things didn't seem as difficult as she had imagined.

Isn’t Xiaoman very sensible?

It turned out that she was overthinking and worrying about nothing.

But the next moment, she heard her own son say, "Mom, the dead cannot be resurrected. You have to look forward. It's a good thing my dad is back now. If you two are together, I will have both a dad and a mom!"

Lu Qiniang: "...your father is not dead, he is alive and well!"

"ah?"

He’s not dead?

Xiaoman thought about it and said with some regret: "It's a pity that women in the world can only marry one husband."

Otherwise, he actually doesn't mind having two fathers.

Lu Qiniang said frantically that she minded, she really minded!

"Xiaoman, your father and I, Zhang Heyao, are no longer together."

It is impossible to recover what has been done.

"Mom," Xiaoman's eyes were filled with tears, "Is it because you married Xiao Yan that you no longer want my dad?"

"No." Lu Qin's mother patiently explained, "It was very difficult for your father when he was out there. He was alone without any family around, and life was not easy, so he later married another woman. And mother also married another woman."

"Xiao Man, marriage is a serious matter, not a joke. Mother knows what you're thinking, but that won't work. You should be happy. Look, Daddy's not dead, Mommy's not dead, and we're all here for you. Yes, Mommy can't have two husbands, but you can have two fathers."

The grace of giving birth and raising a child are both favors.

"Mom, is it really impossible?" Xiaoman's eyes were filled with tears. "You really can't marry Dad?"

"Well, no." Lu Qiniang said firmly, "I only have one husband, and that is Xiao Yan."

Not everything can be negotiated.

It is important to satisfy the children, but she also needs to have her own persistence.

Lu Qinniang had no hesitation in returning to her ex.

She doesn't eat.
