Chapter 260: Slightly Moved
After leaving the educated youth site, Lu Dongping did not go back directly. Instead, he went to a small ditch. He felt that he needed to calm down and think carefully.
After being blown by the cold wind for a long time, he finally got up and walked back when it was almost dark.
Smoke rises from the roof.
There was no sound of Dandan babbling in the yard, and no Wenwan in the house. The silence made people feel depressed.
Lu Donglin also ran away. Zhang Hongying was cooking in the kitchen, and Lu Mingjiang was chopping pig grass behind the pillar.
Seeing him come back, I asked, "Why did you come back at this time today? Where are Wanwan and the child?"
Lu Dongping said nothing and turned to go into the house.
Zhang Hongying rushed out of the kitchen and rushed to the door of the new house, shouting at him: "Dongping, what does she mean? She won't come back now? Are you just going to let her do what she wants?"
Lu Dongping came out and glanced at her: "What should I do? Should I scold her, beat her up, and then force her back?"
Zhang Hongying fell silent: "Then I'll go, I'll go find her at school, I'll apologize to her, I'll talk to her properly, we're all fine, the child is already this big, we should live a good life and not think about those things."
Lu Dongping cleaned up the room and said, "No need. It's better for you to stop making trouble. Don't worry about this. I know what's going on."
Zhang Hongying hissed, "Why are you asking me to make a fuss? This isn't her, and she didn't say it nicely. What she said is just insulting..."
"So you're still planning on going to school to look for her? Will she be nice to you if you go? No, if you make a scene there, she won't be able to stay in school, and she won't even have to take the college entrance exam. Just send a telegram and someone will come pick her up."
"Well, what should we do now? Is she determined to take that college entrance exam?"
Lu Dongping sighed, "She hadn't originally thought of leaving. She wanted to take the exam, probably just to make her future work smoother. I asked her, and after the exam, she'll apply to a university based on her own preferences. She probably wanted to go to university here so she can balance school and family. That's why she said it without hesitation, and we ended up being wrong."
This is what Xu Qingming told him. He thought about it carefully and couldn't deny it. It made a lot of sense.
He was overthinking and got into a dead end, thinking Wen Wan was going to leave.
Yes, she wants to leave, anytime, whether she takes the college entrance exam or not.
She wants to take the exam, so she must have her own ideas.
But I didn't ask her, and no one asked her, so we just had a fight.
Now, he couldn't be sure. He didn't know how to make up for this matter, and he didn't know what to do if Wen Wan really wanted to leave.
Wen Wan would not be happy if he forced her to stay, and he didn't have the ability to force her to stay. Lu Dongping felt that he couldn't just let her go.
After a quick meal, he packed his bags and headed out the door. Zhang Hongying chased after him, shouting, "Where are you going now, it's already dark?"
Lu Dongping ignored him and soon disappeared from the path.
The road was now invisible. He had a flashlight on his body and a cloth bag in his hand, which contained the things Wen Wan often used. When Wen Wan left in the morning, she only packed a change of clothes for her and Dandan, and didn't take anything else. Lu Dongping told him that he would send it to her.
There was also a flashlight. Both flashlights were placed in the house, but Wen Wan didn't take it. The dormitory was dark and there was no light at all. What should the mother and daughter do? What should Dandan do when he needs to pee at night?
He found many excuses and reasons for himself, and walked quickly towards the commune.
Wen Wan has already rested now.
There are several brigades under Ganling Commune, including some in the mountains, some far away and some near. There are also a few students who live in the school. The cafeteria is open in the afternoon, so you don’t have to worry about having no food to eat with money and tickets.
After dinner and correcting homework, it was still light outside and I played with Dandan for a while until he could hardly see me anymore, then I went into the house to rest.
Taking care of the children and working at the same time were extremely exhausting every day, so much so that she had no time to think about anything else and fell asleep as soon as she hit the bed.
When Lu Dongping arrived at the commune, everything was quiet and the front door of the commune compound was locked. He went around from the back and went to the junior high school teacher's office.
It was still very quiet, so quiet that he could clearly hear his own heartbeat.
"Wanwan!" He knocked on the door and called out a few times, but there was no sound in the room.
He didn't know whether the person inside was asleep and didn't hear him or heard him but didn't want to pay attention to him, so he simply stopped knocking and sat down on the mud step at the door.
He was very confused and hadn't been able to think of any solution yet.
Wen Wan was awakened by the sound of him knocking on the door just as she fell asleep. At first there was a little light flickering outside, but then it became pitch black.
I was still very tired. I opened and closed my eyes, forcing myself to dispel the little bit of sleepiness. My consciousness, which had slightly returned, was struggling violently.
Is the person still outside? Will you open the door or not?
It's absolutely impossible to say that she has calmed down.
But it is impossible to say that I will really break up with this man because of this incident.
She reflected on herself, wondering what she had done wrong to make this man so distrustful that she felt like leaving the moment he opened his mouth. She had given up so many chances, so many chances to leave, and she had chosen him instead. But she hadn't expected that this wouldn't make him trust her at all.
He didn't say anything, but it was enough for him to let his mother scold him, touch him and pull him. His silence was like a knife stabbing into his heart.
As I was thinking, I forgot about opening the door and fell asleep again in a daze.
When she woke up, it was already daybreak outside, but there was still no light in the room. She habitually reached for the flashlight to check the time, but found nothing. Only then did she regain consciousness and slowly sit up. Her hands were busy putting on clothes, and her mind was also working.
She remembered that last night, when it was completely dark, Lu Dongping came and knocked on the door and called her, but she didn't open the door -
Although she knew it was impossible, she still hurriedly put on her shoes and opened the office door. As soon as the door opened, the person leaning against the door stumbled and fell backwards. Although she grabbed the door frame and did not fall, she was still scared.
Is this the night you didn't go home?
Lu Dongping stayed outside all night, and no night had ever felt so long to him.
At this moment, Wen Wan opened the door, and he walked into the house with his bag in his hand, closed the door, called out "Wan Wan", and reached out to pull the person over.
In terms of strength, Wen Wan was no match for him, but that didn't stop her from venting her anger by punching and kicking him.
Lu Dongping didn't let go, and just let her hit him. After a while, when she calmed down, he asked her, "Are you calmed down?"
Wen Wan wanted to push him away, but she couldn't move him at all even with all her strength, and her eyes suddenly turned red.
"You just know how to bully me, you all bully me!" As he said this, the voice behind him split and he cried out.
Lu Dongping restrained her with one hand, kissed her forehead lightly with his lips, and said in a hoarse voice: "I didn't bully you, I won't bully you, how could I bear to bully you. It was my fault yesterday."
"If you want to take the exam, go ahead and take it. If you want to go back, that's fine too. Go back and visit and keep your dad company. Dandan and I will be waiting for you here until you graduate." He thought about it all night long last night but couldn't make up his mind, but he blurted it out at this moment.
His young wife should be happy every day, and he doesn't want her to cry.
At this moment, he was like a gambler at the end of his rope, gambling with the rest of his life. What he was gambling on was Wen Wan's feelings for him, her reluctance to bear up and her reluctance to part with her child.
If he wins, he will just wait a few years. If he loses, he will accept it!
After saying this, he let go of her hand and turned to leave the house.
He was afraid that if he stayed any longer he would regret it.
Wen Wan stood there blankly watching his back disappear at the door, and her heart relaxed slightly.
Then she shook her head fiercely. No, she had made up her mind and would not change it. She would never go back to the Lu family.
Although Xu Qingming said that he would not interfere in the affairs of Wen Wan and Lu Dongping, he still came to the commune at noon two days later.
Wen Wan had just finished her meal.
"Seventh Brother, why are you here?"
Xu Qingming stood outside the office and peeked in: "I heard you ran away from home, so I came to see you."
Wen Wan rarely argued with him and invited him into the house.
The layout of the office is similar to that of an elementary school. Although small, it has everything.
Xu Qingming had never been to the middle school before, and this was his first time entering an office here. He took a look around and thought it looked quite nice.
"Didn't you say you brought the child out with you? Where is the person?"
Wen Wan poured him some hot water and said, "Lu Dongping has been taken to the Armed Forces Department."
Xu Qingming sat down and glanced at her: "Are you okay again?"
Wen Wan said concisely: "No, it's difficult." She thought about it carefully. There had indeed always been conflicts between her and Lu Dongping's family. When they first started dating, she was not sure whether it would work out. Lu Dongping's parents had a lot of opinions about her. Later, she seemed to be very caring and nice to him, but that was just because she couldn't resist Lu Dongping and had to do it.
Later, whether it was before she got pregnant or after she gave birth to her egg, there were some dirty things going on, but Lu Dongping was there to smooth things over, coax her, and persuade his parents, so everything was fine for a while. But now, because of the college entrance examination, everything suddenly broke out.
The ice is three feet thick, and it didn't freeze overnight. There are problems between them, and they cannot be smoothed over by trying to smooth things over. Problems will arise sooner or later. Even if there is no college entrance examination this time, there will be other problems after that.
She knew that Lu Dongping was uncomfortable with this. If he was uncomfortable, wouldn’t she be uncomfortable too?
Growing up, no one had ever said a harsh word to her, let alone scolded or picked on. She was treated like a treasure and was spoiled, so she had to be willing to be humiliated in everything she did.
So what if she is married and has children? She won't let herself be wronged.
She had to admit that Lu Dongping's previous words had moved her heart slightly, but that was all she felt.
