After he said that, Jiang Manyue couldn't stop him and had to let him go.
After a long while, the meal was ready. Jiang Manyue waited and waited but Lu Lin didn't come back. She was about to go look for him, but she saw Lu Lin coming back with Binbin.
Facing Jiang Manyue's questioning eyes, Lu Lin explained, "Brother Cheng is too busy to take care of the child's dinner, so I brought him back. After dinner, Brother Cheng will take him back."
Although she had never heard of Brother Cheng, she knew that he was Binbin's father. Jiang Manyue nodded and asked Lu Jun'an, a peer, to take Binbin to wash his hands while she and Lu Lin served the child food.
After entering the kitchen, while the two children were washing their hands outside, Lu Lin quickly told them what had just happened in Cheng's house.
It turned out that Cheng Jianyong happened to have just returned from a mission today. Before he had time to go home and report the situation to his leader, he just walked out of the office and met Sister Ma who was holding her child and rushing into the political commissar's office. He quickly stopped Sister Ma and asked her what was going on.
When Sister Ma saw that it was the child's father who came back, she told him everything Fang Shuixiu had done. Cheng Jian was so brave that he immediately rushed home with the child and had a big fight with Fang Shuixiu.
When Lu Lin went over, the Cheng family was in the middle of a quarrel. Binbin was hiding aside, not daring to speak, and was almost scared to death.
Cheng Jianyong was also furious. In addition, everyone had long been fed up with Fang Shuixiu, and no one came to persuade him, so he kept making trouble until Lu Lin went to the Cheng family and stopped him.
It was almost dinner time, and the Cheng family was in such a mess. Binbin had been hungry for several meals, and it was not mealtime when he went to ask for food. Sister Ma could only give him some biscuits to fill his stomach, which he probably had almost digested. Lu Lin couldn't bear to see it, so he brought him back.
Jiang Manyue shook her head and sighed, "This child is pitiful. His stepmother is unkind, and his father is often not at home. If he wasn't starving, he wouldn't ask others for food."
Binbin and Lu Junan are of the same age and have similar life stories. One has both parents gone, and the other has a father who is often not at home even though his mother has passed away. Therefore, Lu Lin feels more sympathy for this child.
"I don't know what to do with this child in the future. From what I heard from Brother Cheng, he won't keep Fang Shuixiu at home anymore. He should be getting a divorce."
As they were talking, Lu Junan came back with Binbin. It was not appropriate to say this in front of the child, so they both quickly shut up.
Jiang Manyue urged Lu Lin to go out and wash his hands as well. After he came back, the four of them started eating.
Afraid that Binbin would be too reserved to eat freely, Jiang Manyue looked at Binbin and asked him with a smile, "Binbin, how old are you? Are you younger than Jun'an?"
Binbin hadn't seen Jiang Manyue much before, so he felt awkward talking to her, but he still answered quietly, "I'm six years old."
Lu Jun'an was also six years old. He quickly turned around and asked Binbin, "I'm also six years old. What month were you born?"
Binbin blinked and said, "I was born in March."
Lu Jun'an was born in May. When he learned that Binbin was two months older than him, his face fell, "I thought I was the older brother..."
Jiang Manyue didn't expect that Binbin was actually two months older than Jun'an. She then smiled and said, "It's only two months difference. You two can compete to see who eats more and see who is better, the older brother or the younger brother."
When he heard about the eating competition, Lu Junan immediately became excited, "I won't lose! I might as well eat now!"
Children all like to compete to win or lose, and Binbin is no exception. Knowing that he had to compete, he felt that he was the older brother and could not lose to his younger brother. He was originally reluctant to pick up his chopsticks, but gradually increased his eating speed.
Jiang Manyue was afraid that they would forget to eat the dishes in their hurry, so each of them picked up a bunch of dishes and said that whoever could finish the food in the bowl first would win.
The two children worked hard on the food in their bowls again. Seeing Binbin eating with big mouthfuls, Lu Lin couldn't help but reach out and pinch Jiang Manyue's wrist to express his gratitude.
Maybe Binbin was really hungry, he ate much faster than Lu Junan and finished the whole bowl of rice in no time.
Jiang Manyue quickly put down her chopsticks and applauded him, and even signaled Lu Lin with her eyes to applaud as well, "Binbin is amazing. He finished eating so quickly. He set a good example for his brother Jun'an."
Binbin was stunned for a moment, then smiled a little embarrassedly.
Lu Jun'an worked hard for a long time and finally finished the rice in the bowl.
Lu Jun'an usually eats this much, and he is full, so Jiang Manyue didn't let the two children have more food.
Because Binbin was always hungry and full, even if he was not necessarily full, Jiang Manyue did not dare to let him have more food, for fear that he would eat too much at once and get an upset stomach.
After he and Lu Jun'an finished their meal, they could take a break. If they really wanted to eat more, they could have a piece of cream cake as a snack.
After dinner, Lu Junan took Binbin to the room to play. Lu Lin cleaned up the dishes and went outside to wash them. Jiang Manyue was talking to him next to him.
"Brother Cheng wants to divorce Fang Shuixiu, so what will happen to Binbin in the future? Isn't Brother Cheng always on missions?"
The Cheng family lived in a three-story building opposite their house. The corridor in front of their house faced the pool. Jiang Manyue glanced at the Cheng family, who seemed to be quiet now, and was still a little worried about Binbin's future life.
Brother Cheng is often on missions and is not at home most of the time. If Fang Shuixiu also leaves, what will happen to Binbin in the future?
Lu Lin shook his head. "I don't know, but Brother Cheng will definitely not leave Binbin to Fang Shuixiu again. She's really gone too far. She doesn't even feed the child, but she eats her fill herself."
As they were talking, Cheng's door opened and Fang Shuixiu ran out crying.
Jiang Manyue and Lu Lin also stopped talking and watched her run out of the compound crying with her face covered.
Did Brother Cheng kick her out directly?
Jiang Manyue and Lu Lin looked at each other, but neither moved. Binbin was at home anyway, and Brother Cheng would definitely come to pick him up later.
If you have anything you want to ask, wait until Brother Cheng comes over.
If they go there now, and if Cheng's house is in a mess after the fight and Cheng Ge is not in good condition, it will be embarrassing for them to go there.
After the dishes were washed, Lu Lin and Jiang Manyue returned home. After waiting for a while, they heard a knock on the door.
Lu Lin went over to open the door, and sure enough, it was Cheng Jianyong, whose face still showed a hint of fatigue and helplessness.
"Alin, please excuse me for both you and your lover. I really can't take care of you now."
Lu Lin quickly made way and let him in. Jiang Manyue also came over and smiled at Cheng Ge, "Hello, Cheng Ge, I am Lu Lin's lover, my name is Jiang Manyue."
Cheng Jianyong nodded quickly at her and said, "Hello, hello. I'm so sorry to have made a fool of myself on our first meeting."
