Chapter 216 Don’t even want a future?
"Change career?!"
Huang Xinran was very surprised. She couldn't help but recall, at this time in his last life, had Lu Yunchen changed his career?
Unfortunately, at this time in her previous life, she was still struggling to survive, and had no intention of caring whether Lu Yunchen had changed his career. However, she remembered very clearly that he did not enter the public security system in his previous life, but instead entered the administrative department. After that, she did not know how, he suddenly retired and went into business. Thus, he created a business empire that belonged to him.
"Are you sure?"
"Not yet. But, almost there."
Lu Yunchen stared at the food, not daring to look up at her. He was afraid that she would see the reluctance in his eyes, that she would know that he was lying, and that he would be unable to control himself and shake.
He thought that after joining the army, he would devote his life's passion and love to the motherland and the people. However, he did not expect that for some reason, he would back out halfway.
What’s the difference between him and a deserter!
Pah~
The bamboo chopsticks in his hand could not withstand his strength and broke. Lu Yunchen then realized that he was too emotional and smiled to defend himself.
"Actually, this is a very normal thing. Soldiers will have this day sooner or later. I joined the army when I was sixteen, and it has been almost twenty years now. It is reasonable for me to retire..."
At the end, he couldn't say any more. His voice was choked with sobs.
Only by swallowing hard could I hold back the sob in my throat.
Huang Xinran stared at the homework book in front of him for a long time without moving.
"I, well, I'm going to go out for a while. You go to sleep first."
That dinner, Lu Yunchen didn't finish his meal in the end. He got up and hurried out.
Huang Xinran stared at his hurried back, and a tear silently fell down her cheek.
He is lying.
She knows.
He also knew that she knew he was lying, but neither of them had said it clearly.
Huang Xinran's heart started to feel uneasy for no reason.
Very uncomfortable, very uncomfortable...
She covered her chest and wanted to call him to tell him that she wanted to give up the child, but in the end she didn't shout it out.
When Lu Yunchen came back from his trip, Huang Xinran had already fallen asleep.
He lay down gently beside her, and in the dim moonlight, he looked at the slightly bulging belly of the woman sleeping inside him. He reached out his hand, wanting to touch it but hesitated in the end.
He couldn't help but recall that when the political commissar was explaining the interests to him, he had asked, "Political commissar, is it the higher-ups who have stipulated that party members 'must implement' or 'promote' the one-child policy? If it is just 'promote', please forgive me, I will be unbridled for once..."
He didn't know why he said this at that time.
The political commissar was stunned at the time, "You kid... are you really going to give up your future for this child? Have you thought it through? Once you make this decision, you will be greatly restricted even when changing careers in the future. It can almost be said that your life is ruined. Are you really willing to... Forget it, you're so mad at me!" Seeing that he was determined, he didn't try to persuade him anymore.
Now when I think about it, I feel that I went too far.
He tossed and turned, and was almost blind until dawn.
After learning that Lu Yunchen was about to change his job, Huang Xinran couldn't calm down. She felt extremely anxious for no reason. In order to divert her attention, she started to prepare small clothes for the baby in her belly.
She had not been prepared before because she was not sure whether Lu Yunchen wanted to keep the child.
As a mother, she certainly hoped to keep the child. After all, this child did not appear in her previous life. She sincerely hoped that this child would be born safely.
Of course, happiness lies in having a child whose birth is what both parents look forward to.
The children's clothes were small, but she made two sets in just one morning.
Calculating the time, the baby was born around October, and the weather was getting colder. So after making two sets of thin clothes, she started making padded small clothes.
There is also a warm awning, and she needs to pick out some fabric before making it.
When it came to choosing fabrics, Huang Xinran remembered that she had not yet told her parents, brothers and sisters-in-law that she was pregnant again. It seemed that she had to take advantage of going to the city to buy fabrics tomorrow to call her eldest brother and report the good news.
Huang Xinran made up her mind that she should eat and sleep well to take good care of the baby.
Anyway, she had handed over all the management of the shop to Zhang Wenbi. With her around, she could rest assured.
Early the next morning, she rode her bicycle into the city.
Unexpectedly, the indescribable panic came back. She decided to buy some things before going to the post office. Unexpectedly, when she was passing the intersection and waiting for the red light, an old man carrying a large sack waved at her and called her.
"Little girl, yes, I'm calling you!"
The old man smiled brightly, "I think you have bad luck. I'm afraid things have not been going well for you recently. Do you want to have your fortune told? It's only 50 cents per fortune. It's guaranteed to be accurate. If it's not accurate, it's free."
He was hungry, so he used his fingers to calculate and found that his luck for today was in this direction. He hurried over and saw Huang Xinran standing on the curb, listening to the bicycle and waiting for the traffic light. This person was indeed unlucky, but there was also a cloud of auspiciousness covering her face. What attracted his attention the most was that she was covered with a layer of rich golden good fortune.
He subconsciously looked at it, but found that he could not see through her fate. It seemed that someone deliberately concealed her fate so that he could not see it.
This is exactly why he called the other party.
How could a person enveloped in the golden light of merit have such a bizarre fortune?
Huang Xinran only glanced at the other party, and when he saw the green light was on, he casually took out a 5-yuan bill from his pocket. He hesitated for a moment before handing it to the other party: "Old man, this is not a joke. Don't talk nonsense, or someone with ulterior motives will hear you and make a fuss about it. Go home quickly."
After saying that, she rode away on her bike.
The old man was startled by the sudden 5 yuan. Seeing that she was in a hurry to leave, he hurriedly shouted, "Little girl, you shouldn't go south today. Remember, you must...don't go south today!"
Huang Xinran turned a deaf ear and rode away.
The post office happened to be in the south. How could she tell her mother that she was seven months pregnant if she didn't go to the south?
This old man is really something, could he please not talk in a scary way?
However, she is not the kind of person who likes to deliberately play the devil's advocate!
He listened to the other party's advice and went to the post office in the north of the city. After mailing all the things he bought back to his hometown, he called the number that his elder brother had left for him last time.
The waiting time was not long, Huang Hongyi hurried over to answer the phone.
"Ran Ran, are you and your brother-in-law okay over there?"
Huang Xinran's eyes turned red when she heard her elder brother's voice.
"Okay, we're all good. Brother, how's business going in the store? Is Yoona doing well?"
"It's all good, it's all good. Huang Chengyun is a tough little bastard. I beat him up yesterday, but he didn't show any signs of restraint..."
Speaking of his son, Huang Hongyi laughed cheerfully, not afraid to tell his son's embarrassing stories. "However, I also brought Zhenzhen to the city. It's just right for Zhenzhen to take care of that kid. It will save him from being an eyesore..."
"Have you finished? Let me talk to Ranran. Hurry up!"
After just one sentence, Huang Xinran heard her mother's quarreling voice coming from the microphone.
It was Liu Zhaodi who was trying to grab the microphone from her son. The next moment, the clear voice of Liu Zhihuan came over, "Is that Ranran? I'm your mother! Ranran, are Yaya and Maomao with you? Let grandma talk to them."
"Mom, Yaya and Maomao are studying today."
Upon hearing her mother's voice, Huang Xinran couldn't help but soften her tone.
I chatted with my mother about all sorts of things for a while, and after we greeted each other, I talked about my recent situation. "Mom, I have something I want to tell you."
"What's the matter? Tell me, I'm listening. Did your Yun Chen do something to wrong you? Tell me the truth. If he dares to let you suffer, I will teach him a lesson for you. Let's see if he can still do it!"
"Mom, what are you thinking about? This is my business, I'm telling you..."
Zizi——
As I was speaking the truth, I heard a burst of electricity coming from the receiver. I could also vaguely hear someone on the other end of the line saying, "Sister, how long are you going to be on the phone? Hurry up, I'm waiting here."
"Almost, almost. Now!"
Liu Zhaodi said hurriedly, moving closer to the microphone, "Ranran, someone here needs to use the phone urgently. That's it, I'll hang up first. Take care of yourself and look after Yaya and Maomao. Got it? Okay, that's it... Hey, sister, isn't this the end? Look..."
The call was quickly hung up and a busy tone sounded. Huang Xinran couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
She hadn't even had the chance to tell her mother that she was pregnant.
Never mind, maybe next time.
I hung up the phone and paid the long-distance call bill.
Huang Xinran put the change into her pocket as she crossed the road. A gust of wind blew and a one-dollar bill in her hand was blown away. She subconsciously reached out to grab it. But at this moment, a small car sped towards her and hit her head-on...
