Chapter 85
These two days, Meng Jinyu has been taking care of Su Jingjing in the hospital.
Su Jingjing controlled her diet very well during her pregnancy, and went out with Ruan Jinguo every day, so her physical condition was always good. Except for the severe pain on the day of birth, everything else went relatively smoothly.
After a few days, she recovered well. Every day she and Youyou would play with their daughter. She exuded the radiance of motherhood and became more gentle.
"Youyou, don't you feel too bored like this?" Su Jingjing rubbed Youyou's hair and said softly, "Let your uncle take you out to play for a while."
Youyou rubbed her cheek against the baby's face and said, "It's okay. I can play with the little pink girl."
Just at this time, Ruan Jinguo brought back the lunch prepared by Chen Liping to the ward.
There were a few side dishes in the lunch box, which looked light and nutritious, and a large pot of hot soup. Ruan Jinguo served Su Jingjing the food and fed her.
Youyou tilted her head.
My aunt is so old, but she still needs someone to feed her.
She could feed herself when she was five years old.
When Su Jingjing met Youyou's big, blinking eyes, her face turned red with embarrassment: "I'll eat it myself."
"Jin Guo, take Youyou out to play. It's rare for the child to come back to Jiangcheng, and he's stuck in the hospital all day." Su Jingjing said.
Youyou shook her head like a rattle.
But her uncle had already pulled her out: "Do you want to go back to Fenglin Village and play with your friends?"
Youyou's eyes lit up, but she still looked back every few steps, hesitant. It was only after Meng Jinyu and Su Jingjing had persuaded her that she followed her uncle obediently.
As soon as she left, Su Jingjing smiled and said, "Sister, Youyou is really sensible. She was worried that I would be in the hospital alone, and she wanted her uncle to accompany her, so she didn't go out."
"This child, sometimes he looks foolish and cares a lot, and sometimes he is very delicate." Meng Jinyu also smiled and picked up the baby, "Auntie, hold him, let mommy eat first, okay?"
The baby's whole body was still soft, even his little head couldn't hold up, and he nestled in Meng Jinyu's arms, just like Youyou said, like a little pink ball.
When Meng Jinyu teased her, she moved her mouth and sometimes frowned, and her little expressions were very lively.
Looking at her daughter's appearance, Su Jingjing couldn't help laughing.
She took a small spoon to scoop up the soup and couldn't help but think of her journey.
It has only been a few years since I fell in love with Nguyen Jing Quoc. Some people say that men will change after marriage. Nguyen Jing Quoc has indeed changed, but for the better.
Throughout the pregnancy, she and Nguyen Jinguo hoped to have a daughter, and now, even this dream has come true.
Su Jingjing felt happy from the bottom of her heart.
"Dear baby, grandma is here--" Chen Liping's voice came from outside the ward.
Then footsteps were heard, and following behind her was Ruan Zhenli.
Ruan Zhenli smiled and said, "Originally, your mother was going to go to the factory after making lunch, but we thought about it and decided to come and see you and your daughter first. Are you all right?"
Before Chen Liping came to the hospital this time, her husband warned her not to cause trouble for her daughter-in-law.
So she sat beside Su Jingjing's bed and asked about her well-being.
"Mom, I'm fine. You go see the kids." Su Jingjing said with a smile.
Chen Liping hurried to see her granddaughter.
Blood relationship is really strange. From the moment the little baby was born the night before, she began to like this child.
At this time, she took her little granddaughter from Meng Jinyu's arms and a bright smile appeared on her face.
"Our child is so pretty." Chen Liping held him carefully. "The eyes, nose, mouth and face shape are like his mother's, so delicate. The eyebrows are like his father's, so heroic. When he grows up, he can be a child actor on TV."
After she finished speaking, she muttered again: "Fortunately, I don't look like grandma. If I looked like grandma, I wouldn't be so pretty."
Meng Jinyu was amused by her.
In fact, although Chen Liping often says some inconsiderate things, she is still a very easy-going person.
In addition, with Ruan Jinguo around, even if what she said made Su Jingjing uncomfortable, it wouldn't cause any trouble.
The issue between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is a big problem, but Ruan Jinguo seems to have an amazing talent in this regard. He handles it properly and does not let his daughter-in-law suffer any grievances at all.
"Jingjing, if you need anything, just tell me. Mom is at retirement age now, so she doesn't have to go to the company anymore. I'll stay here to take care of you." Chen Liping said with a smile on her face.
However, she stayed in the ward for an entire afternoon and did not see Su Jingjing call her for help.
She calls me "sister" all the time!
Chen Liping pulled Ruan Zhenli aside and muttered, "You said that Meng Jinyu and our Jin Guo are not siblings, so how can their relationship be closer than that of siblings!"
Ruan Zhenli glanced at her: "Where do you get so much gossip from?"
"That's right!" Chen Liping said unconvincedly, "Meng Jinyu is not from our family, but the Su family treated her more politely than me. They asked her about everything from changing diapers to burping, as if she were some important person."
"There's nothing we can do about it. It's too late for you to give your son a sister now," said Ruan Zhenli.
Chen Liping was so angry that her eyes widened: "You are old, how can you still talk like that!"
"Look at how you talk." Ruan Zhenli curled his lips, "I'm telling you, think twice before you speak. You know the temper of our Jin Guo. If you make him unhappy, be careful that he won't let you see your precious granddaughter!"
These words successfully frightened Chen Liping.
In order to come and see her little granddaughter, she has to be well-behaved and quiet for a while.
…
Fenglin Village is extremely lively.
There are guests in the village!
Youyou came here in her uncle's car.
Ruan Jinguo recently bought a motorcycle. I heard it was not a brand new one, but the original owner was going abroad, so he sold it at a low price. But this is a motorcycle. Not to mention Fenglin Village, there might not be many of them even in the whole Jiangcheng. So when the motorcycle made a rumbling sound and stopped steadily at the entrance of the village, everyone lined up to come forward and see.
You don’t know until you see it. It’s amazing that the guest from the village is not a outsider, but Youyou, who was loved by all the villagers!
Youyou greets everyone with a smile, and when she speaks, her voice is still as soft and sweet as cotton candy as before.
Several of her former playmates are now primary and middle school students. Having grown up, they are more shy than before. They hide not far away with red faces, wanting to get closer but feeling embarrassed.
It was Youyou who ran up in surprise.
"Sister Erni! Tiedan! Mulengzi! Sister Xiaohua..."
Youyou called their names one by one, as enthusiastic as the little sun. Soon, everyone stopped being shy and took her to play.
Ruan Jinguo reminded Youyou that they had to return to the city before the sun sets, and then he followed the little girl.
The time spent with friends is always short. Youyou had fun, but she didn’t enjoy herself completely.
She wrote down her address for everyone, and before leaving, she waved her hand: "It's getting late, I still have to go to the next village to look for Wu Shuangxia and Zhu Xiaoyun. Remember to write to me!"
The child's clear voice echoed on the ridge of the field.
Looking at her leaving back, everyone was reluctant to let her go.
There was another "boom" sound, and the motorcycle drove away.
It's really cool.
As soon as Youyou and her uncle left, everyone started discussing.
Some people say that Youyou's uncle does business in the city and has already become a millionaire. Now he can even buy a motorcycle easily. He is really promising. Some people say that Youyou used to look like a city kid, but after not seeing her for a few years, the little girl has grown into an even prettier girl, and it's obvious at first glance that she was raised by Meng Jinyujiao.
Suddenly, someone asked curiously, "But why did the mother and daughter come back? I heard that the rent in Beijing is very expensive, and even the vegetables sold in the market are more expensive than in Jiangcheng. Could it be that they are not living well and want to come back to live with Youyou's uncle? Although Youyou's aunt is giving birth, it's just a birth. There is no need to come back specially. The train ticket is not cheap."
Jiang Huanming didn't pay any attention to the villagers' discussions in front of him.
He only heard the last words.
Meng Jinyu wasn't doing well, so she came back.
Wang Xiaofen said, "You said that Youyou, she came back but she didn't even come to visit her family. I just saw her go to Xu Weiwei's house, Erni's house, and even Tie Zhuzi's house, but she didn't even go back to her own home!"
"We didn't treat her too badly, did we? Mom just wanted to take her back, and now she holds a grudge against me? Fortunately, Mom is confused now, otherwise, she would have been so angry that she would have fainted!"
Zhu Dali shrugged: "I think this child is still as cute as before. She saw me in the village just now and called me."
Jiang Niuniu also said: "She called me too."
Wang Xiaofen got angry when she heard this and glared at her daughter irritably.
But Niu Niu now is different from before. She snorted unwillingly and turned back to her room to do her homework.
Before leaving Fenglin Village, Sister Guoguo told her that if she didn't want to be bullied, she had to study hard, at least until high school, so that she could go to work in the city.
Wang Xiaofen felt bored and pouted. As soon as she came out of the kitchen, she saw Jiang Huanming.
"Going out?" She put on a friendly smile.
Jiang Huanming nodded perfunctorily and turned to walk out.
Just now he heard from the villagers that Ruan Jinguo's wife had given birth, and he wanted to go and see.
Of course, his purpose was not to see other people's wives.
He wanted to see his ex-wife.
Jiang Huanming walked hurriedly. As soon as he went out, he got on his most precious bicycle and rode to the village entrance.
When his figure gradually turned into a small dot and disappeared completely, Wang Xiaofen said to Zhu Dali, "Dali, do you think that after being in Shenzhen Stock Exchange for a few years, Lao San seems to have regained his style? A gay man must have some ability. You see, once he has some ability, I am not annoyed by him anymore."
"It doesn't matter whether you're annoying or not. The third child has already said that he came back just to see mom and will move to the city in a few days." Zhu Dali said, "Anyway, you won't get any benefits even if you don't bother her."
Wang Xiaofen glared at her: "Can you speak?"
…
Youyou was sitting on her uncle's motorcycle, and she kept talking all the way.
She felt very happy when she thought about how she had just met so many friends.
Ruan Jinguo was originally worried that the child was sentimental, and would feel bad when he reunited with everyone again and when they parted again.
But who knew that the little girl was very optimistic and said that the Chinese New Year would be just a few months away and she would still be able to meet everyone then!
Only then did Ruan Jinguo realize that no matter where his little niece went or whether she was growing up, this child was never a cause for worry.
"Youyou, do you still remember the birthday you celebrated before you went to Beijing?" Ruan Jinguo parked the motorcycle and took Youyou to the hospital.
"Remember, my uncle bought me a very big doll. Until now, I still hold it when I sleep." Youyou said softly.
Ruan Jinguo smiled: "At that time, I said, it would be great if Youyou didn't grow up, so she could always be so carefree. Guess what your mother said-"
As soon as he finished speaking, Youyou suddenly screamed in surprise and ran towards the ward.
Ruan Jinguo looked carefully and saw that it was his fellow members from Su Jingjing Art Troupe who came to visit.
The little girl was so happy that she rushed into Zhang Lin's arms.
"Youyou! Why don't you hug me?"
"I don't care. You only hug Zhang Lin. You must be best friends with Zhang Lin!"
"Oh, when I accompanied you to the state-owned barber shop to get a haircut, I even comforted you, you little heartless person!"
Youyou smiled softly and immediately snuggled into the arms of the other art soldiers: "You and I are the best!"
Ruan Jinguo couldn't help laughing when he thought of the words that were on the tip of his tongue but hadn't finished speaking.
At that time, he said, it would be great if Youyou would never grow up and always be so carefree.
He remembered what Meng Jinyu said, that Youyou would always be carefree.
Even if she grows into a big girl or a little girl in the future... Youyou will always be so happy.
"Youyou, I'm here too." Captain Xu's voice came.
Only then did Youyou see Captain Xu standing in the corner of the ward holding his little sister.
"Auntie Leader!" she shouted.
Captain Xu hadn't seen this child for many years. When he saw the sweet smile on her lips, his heart almost melted.
However, she still pretended to be serious: "Youyou! The director of the Beijing City Art Troupe said that he called you several times, but you didn't show up."
Youyou blinked her eyes and immediately her face turned red as if she had done something wrong.
In fact, at the end of the first semester of sixth grade, the leaders of the Beijing Art Troupe came to the school.
However, at that time, Youyou had just been promoted to the sixth grade not long ago. The novelty had not yet worn off. She had made a lot of friends and had a lot of fun every day, so she didn't want to go to the art troupe.
"Why not go?" Captain Xu asked with narrowed eyes.
Youyou’s little hand gently held the group leader’s hand, her long eyelashes grew longer, and she said embarrassedly, “I’m lazy.”
Captain Xu wanted to criticize her, but before he could say anything, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
She pinched the tip of Youyou's nose and said, "You're lazy and you still have the nerve to say that. Aren't you afraid of being scolded?"
"Even if you get scolded, you have to be an honest child!" Youyou said confidently. After a pause, she tilted her head and said, "Besides, the head auntie can't bear to scold me."
Captain Xu was both angry and amused.
Meng Jinyu had just received the hot water and heard their conversation when she came over. She wanted to speak up for her little girl, so she apologized, "Youyou used to like to go to the group to practice dancing. First, she likes dancing, and second, she is familiar with the sisters in the group. It's fun every time she goes. But when we arrived in Jingshi, we were unfamiliar with the place, and I was busy with business at the stall, so I didn't send her, so she was delayed."
When Meng Jinyu said this, Jiang Huanming had already arrived at the door of the ward.
It turned out that she was still setting up a stall and did not return to Jiangcheng just because she couldn't make it.
However, setting up a stall is hard work and it is not that easy to make.
As for Youyou, it really surprised him.
In his memory, this child has always been just a little girl. Joining the art troupe was just like playing for her. Who would have thought that now the leader of the Beijing Art Troupe would go to the school in person to invite her!
What’s even more shocking is that even though she was invited, she still refused to go and was quietly hiding away and being lazy!
Jiang Huanming stretched his neck, wanting to hear more clearly, but as soon as he moved forward, his collarbone was grabbed by Ruan Jinguo.
He was stunned, looking embarrassed, and stared at his former brother-in-law.
"Stop making trouble here." Ruan Jinguo waved his fist, "Do you believe I can beat you up?"
Jiang Huanming was afraid that he would really hit someone, and he also knew it was not appropriate to ask for peace with Meng Jinyu in front of him, so he left in shame.
In the ward, Captain Xu squatted down and put his hands on Youyou's shoulders.
"Youyou, the song and dance troupe of the Beijing Art Troupe has performed with our troupe several times. Their troupe leader is a very gentle person, not fierce at all. Moreover, the art soldiers in the troupe are also very easy to get along with."
"When you were leaving Jiangcheng, the troupe leader was very reluctant to let you go. Not only was she reluctant to leave such a cute little girl, but she was even more reluctant to not be able to keep this talented dancer by her side."
"Everyone wants to slack off sometimes, but that's because Youyou hasn't danced for a long time. The troupe leader believes that when you return to the art troupe and start learning new dances, you will love the stage as much as before."
Youyou seemed to understand what she heard, but she knew that the head aunt was really doing it for her own good.
"I know." She nodded vigorously. "When I return to Beijing, I will join the art troupe!"
Head Xu smiled and patted her shoulder: "I hope to see our Youyou on a bigger stage in the future."
…
On the day Su Jingjing was discharged from the hospital, both her husband's family and her own family came.
Meng Jinyu and Youyou accompanied her home, and only said goodbye to everyone when there was no more help needed.
"Little pink girl, I'm leaving."
"When I come back next time, will you have a name?"
"You have to be good. Even if you don't want to leave your sister, you can't cry."
The baby was lying on the bed, kicking his legs, blinking his bright eyes, looking at Youyou.
Youyou was originally telling the little sister to stop crying, but as she was speaking, her own golden beans fell down first.
Parting is always hard to bear. Although Beijing is a good city with a new life, Youyou doesn't want to be separated from her family.
Looking at Youyou's pitiful appearance, Su Jingjing couldn't help but tear up. Meng Jinyu hurriedly said, "Don't cry. Crying now will hurt your eyes."
Ruan Jinguo's nose was sour, but he still smiled and said, "Didn't you say you would come back for the New Year? Even if you don't have time to come back for the New Year, we can still take the children to Jingshi for a walk!"
Chen Liping's heart skipped a beat.
It’s terrible that my own son has to take his daughter-in-law and granddaughter out even during the Chinese New Year.
She doesn't agree!
But I dare not say...
Meng Jinyu took Youyou away from her brother and sister-in-law's house.
Ruan Jinguo was originally going to send them to the train station, but she said she had somewhere else to go.
Meng Jinyu went to Shen Yuqing's house.
Shen Yuqing didn't expect her to come, and was immediately overjoyed. He pulled her to sit down, and the two of them started chatting.
"You've sent me so many letters, and you have a new idea every now and then. Yuqing, have you made up your mind?" Meng Jinyu asked.
Youyou blinked, not understanding.
During this period, Shen Yuqing made the most difficult decision in his life.
She resigned from her job and wanted to study abroad.
Not many people study abroad now, but Shen Yuqing heard from her relatives that she could learn a lot by studying design abroad. The seeds hidden in her heart slowly sprouted. She knew that if she didn't do this, she would definitely regret it in the future.
However, going abroad is not that easy.
Shen Yuqing had to apply in advance and submit a lot of certificates, and she never knew where she might get stuck.
During this period, she was under a lot of pressure.
But the one who gives her the most pressure is her partner.
"We have been together for so many years, and most of the time, our relationship is good, but as soon as his mother is involved, many things become complicated."
"What I meant was that if I went abroad to study, he could apply for a government-sponsored position at his workplace. But he refused without even thinking about it."
"He said his mother didn't want me to go abroad, and said design was not a proper job."
Meng Jinyu did not give any comments on this relationship.
She knew that Shen Yuqing had always been a clear-headed person. How could Shen Yuqing not think through the suggestions she made?
At least at this moment, Shen Yuqing just needed to talk.
"Anyway, the formalities haven't been completed yet, and I've already quit my job, so I'm just sitting around doing nothing. Why don't you come with me to Beijing for a while?" Meng Jinyu said.
…
Youyou and her mother stayed at Aunt Yuqing's house for one night. The next morning, Aunt Yuqing followed them back to Beijing.
This made the little girl very happy.
Finally, we don’t have to say goodbye!
They took the bus to Jiangcheng Railway Station, bought tickets, and began a long wait.
Youyou sat next to Shen Yuqing, looking at the magazine in her hand.
This magazine came from a foreign country. The little girl read it seriously, which surprised Shen Yuqing.
"Youyou, can you speak English?"
"Yes, I learned it from Sister Ninglan."
"That's amazing. Is there anything our Youyou can't do?"
Meng Jinyu listened to the two of them talking with a smile on her face. However, at this moment, she glanced and saw Jiang Huanming.
Jiang Huanming came over with his luggage and asked, "Are you going to Beijing City too?"
There are so many people living in the compound of Chunyu Garment Factory. Last night, Jiang Huanming found out that Meng Jinyu and Youyou would leave Jiangcheng this morning.
He thought about it and decided that since he really wanted to get back together with Meng Jinyu this time, he had to show his sincerity.
If she wanted to go back to Beijing, he would go too.
I haven't seen my children for such a long time, and I really miss them.
"Youyou." Jiang Huanming walked up to Youyou and said with a smile, "Do you miss your dad?"
"Dad?" Youyou opened her eyes wide, "It turned out that it was you who I saw at the train station a few days ago."
Jiang Huanming said with relief: "Youyou also missed daddy, that's why she recognized daddy the first time, right?"
“No.” Youyou shook her head seriously, “I saw him at the train station that day. He was following me and my mom quietly, so I recognized him right away!”
Shen Yuqing laughed out loud.
She hasn't been this happy in a long time since she broke up with her boyfriend.
Jiang Huanming got himself into trouble, but luckily the train arrived at the station and he got on with his luggage.
But before he had taken a few steps, he remembered that he had to behave himself, so he turned around and helped Meng Jinyu carry her luggage.
"No need." Meng Jinyu said.
Jiang Huanming's hand froze in mid-air, he retracted it and touched his nose.
A ten-hour drive means they have ten-hours to spend together. He decided to discuss their future with her after getting in the car.
…
Jiang Xiangjia stayed in the welfare home for a few days and gradually got used to life there.
The welfare home is different from her hometown. There are rules here. What time to get up, what time to go to the playground, what time to eat, and what time to go to bed every day are all according to the schedule.
After she had adapted for a few days, the dean called her to his office.
"You miss home. We originally planned to have the police take you back, but after careful consideration, we think it would be better for them to pick you up." The dean said, "But don't worry. We and the police are trying to get in touch with your relatives back home."
Jiang Xiangjia stretched out his two little hands and waved them vigorously: "I'm not in a hurry at all."
These days, the dean has learned about Jiang Xiangjia's situation.
The child was raised by her grandmother since she was young. Apart from the old lady, there was no one around her who loved her.
After hearing that her grandmother had health problems, her uncle and aunt sent her to Beijing and dropped her off at the doorstep of a relative's house.
The director was a responsible person and was afraid that if he sent the child back to the rural area of Jiangcheng, she would be sent away again one day and suffer, so he insisted on having her relatives come over.
"If you miss home, or if you are bullied or unhappy here, you can tell the director." The director rubbed her head, "I will help you."
Jiang Xiangjia nodded obediently.
"Then go out and play," said the dean.
Only after Jiang Xiangjia ran far away did the dean sigh softly.
I heard from the public security comrades that the child’s mother was executed by firing squad two days ago.
The child probably doesn’t know yet…
Jiang Xiangjia ran back to the activity room.
Every week, the children have to clean the activity room with brooms and rags. When Jiang Xiangjia came back, a fair-skinned little girl said, "Jiang Xiangjia, you come and clean the windows."
Jiang Xiangjia took the rag and turned to wipe the window.
When she was in her hometown, she was spoiled by her grandmother and had never done any work, so she didn't know how to clean the windows.
But she can learn.
Jiang Xiangjia tilted his head and saw an older sister next to him wringing out a rag and wiping the window hard. He imitated her and started wiping it with "huff and puff".
There was not much dust on the windows, and Jiang Xiangjia wiped them diligently, and soon every corner was clean.
The little girl handed over another broom: "Go and sweep the dust under the table."
Jiang Xiangjia shook his head: "Mao Fangfang, you have to do your own things yourself!"
Mao Fangfang was unhappy and forced the broom into Jiang Xiangjia's hand: "Why are you so lazy?"
But Jiang Xiangjia didn't argue with her. He just kept backing away, with his hands tightly behind his back, and refused to touch the broom.
In the end, Mao Fangfang was helpless and angrily held the broom and swept the floor hard.
Seeing this, Jiang Xiangjia smiled happily and ran to help other children carry buckets of water.
"I can help you."
"Really? This bucket is filled with a lot of water. It's so heavy."
"Don't be afraid! I'm a country kid, I have a lot of strength!"
If two children lift the bucket and share the burden, it won't be hard.
Seeing this, Mao Fangfang angrily said, "She doesn't want to help me, and I don't want to care about her! She is so dark, so short, and has such small eyes. She deserves that she will never have a new parent to take her home!"
Jiang Xiangjia curiously asked the children next to him: "What are new parents?"
The other party said: "Occasionally, uncles and aunts who can't have children come to the orphanage to adopt us. However, because I am not smart or good-looking, no one has ever taken a fancy to me and no one has ever taken me home."
"Is there anyone willing to adopt someone else's child?" Jiang Xiangjia opened his eyes wide.
"Yes." The other party said, "A teacher couple will come to pick up the child tomorrow morning. By then, another child will have a new father and mother."
Jiang Xiangjia saw that she was a little sad, so he comforted her: "Don't worry, I'm not smart or good-looking, no one will like me, we are the same. From now on, I will stay here and be friends with you."
When the other party heard this, he said unhappily: "Well, I am much smarter and better looking than you. We are different."
As soon as she finished speaking, she loosened her grip on the bucket handle.
Jiang Xiangjia suddenly found it difficult to do so. He gritted his teeth and struggled to lift the bucket to his destination and put it down.
After putting it down, she clapped her hands and said to herself, "I am the strongest kid, and I am really awesome!"
…
During the more than ten-hour drive, Jiang Huanming was very attentive all the way, and even Shen Yuqing could see what he was thinking.
"Jin Yu, he seems to want to remarry you." Shen Yuqing said.
Meng Jinyu had a look of astonishment, raised her head to glance at Jiang Huanming who was busy running around, and the corners of her mouth twitched.
After awakening her memory, she was able to decisively divorce Jiang Huanming, not only because he had done those shameless things, but also because, in her previous life, she had already given up on him.
Even though in the previous life, it seemed to outsiders that Jiang Huanming and Meng Jinyu had a decent relationship when they were older, in fact, she was tired of living with him.
We have lived together for most of our lives, and now we want to go back?
impossible!
"Jin Yu, this is the water I just got. You and the child can drink some." Jiang Huanming sat down in front of her again.
"No." Meng Jinyu said, "Just say what you want to say, don't beat around the bush."
The train is about to arrive, it will be too late if you don’t say it now.
Jiang Huanming sat up straighter, took a deep breath, and looked at his ex-wife in front of him.
He didn't know when it started, but he didn't dare to look her in the eye. He felt very guilty when facing her.
He no longer had the pride and complacency he once had, and all he longed for was the warmth of family.
"Jin Yu, I know you hate and blame me and blame me for what I did back then. But so many years have passed, and I know I was wrong." Jiang Huanming said sincerely.
Youyou frowned, feeling something was wrong.
"I've made some money in the past few years, and I want to open a small grocery store and do some business. I don't know if the rent for a store in Beijing is high, but I think it should be more than enough. If you are willing to live with me, we can run the store together, which is better than you setting up a street stall in the sun and rain. By the way, I will also rent a house so that you and the children can have a home of your own."
Youyou was about to interrupt him, but her mother held her hand.
Mom shook her head, motioning for her to continue.
Seeing Meng Jinyu's interested look, Shen Yuqing was also happy.
If Jiang Huanming knew his ex-wife's current strength, would he feel ashamed of himself?
Jiang Huanming was inexplicably encouraged and continued, "You told Director Xu that you were too busy with work and didn't have time to take care of the children, which is why you delayed Youyou. From now on, we'll be together, and I'll be the one to pick you up when you go to the art troupe."
"The children are grown up and have heavy schoolwork. I'll look after the store during the day, and when I get home at night, you cook while I help Youyou and Shanshan with their homework. Jinyu, we've been apart for so many years, and we've both been alone... Don't you ever feel lonely?"
Youyou couldn't help but weakly interrupt: "You can't teach Shanshan."
Jiang Huanming looked suspicious.
Chen Yuqing helped explain: "It's like this, Shanshan has participated in several math competitions in the past two years and won good places. She will even participate in the national math competition next. I heard that you only have a high school degree and you really can't teach this child."
Jiang Huanming's face turned red.
He still lives in the past and thinks his high school diploma is so great.
"I want to live a good life with you, but it's too corny to say that." Jiang Huanming scratched his head and continued, "Let me go to Beijing with you and take care of the children, okay?"
"No, I'm living a good life." Meng Jinyu waved her hand.
Jiang Huanming was startled: "Are you refusing?"
Meng Jinyu smiled: "That's right. However, there is indeed a child in Jing City who needs you to take care of him."
What he heard next made Jiang Huanming almost unable to believe his ears.
"You said Ruan Wenwen is dead? And she was sent to an orphanage because she missed home?" Jiang Huanming said in shock.
"Jiang Xiangjia has been in Beijing for several months. You have been back to the village for such a few days, but you haven't asked about her?" Meng Jinyu asked.
Jiang Huanming lowered his head in embarrassment.
When he heard Zhu Dali casually say that day that the child was living a good life, he thought that Ruan Wenwen had taken the child away.
At that time, he and Ruan Wenwen were divorcing, and the divorce was a huge mess. It was an embarrassing memory, so he didn't delve into it further, fearing that if he asked a few more questions, they would bring up what happened then again.
"You're such a piece of shit." Meng Jinyu glanced at him.
The train arrived at the station, Jiang Huanming's face turned pale and red as he followed her.
He wanted to follow her shamelessly and wait until she moved into her house.
After all, there is no suitable person around her.
Thinking of this, Jiang Huanming quickened his pace. However, not long after they left the station, he saw a handsome and tall man standing not far away.
The man came over and took the luggage from Meng Jinyu's hand. The two chatted and laughed as they walked out of the train station.
"Why are you here?"
"I happened to be working nearby, and I remembered that you were coming back today, so I came to try my luck. By the way, I helped you negotiate the deal for that store. When you buy the store, you won't have to pay rent every month."
"Have you got any news about the small courtyard I asked you to find out about last time? I want to buy a small courtyard so that the children can live more comfortably."
"Is it okay near my home? It's in a good location and close to the children's school."
"Okay, I'll go check it out tomorrow. Thank you."
"Don't be so polite to me."
Jiang Huanming recognized that the man was Gu Zhimin.
The People's Liberation Army who stole his limelight in Fenglin Village!
Later, he heard that this PLA soldier went to Beijing to be the director of the Public Security Bureau...
However, what is his relationship with Meng Jinyu? Why does the conversation between two people sound so intimate?
Also, isn’t Meng Jinyu a street vendor?
How come you have two stores and you want to buy a house?
Jiang Huanming panicked and turned around to grab Youyou.
Youyou originally wanted to run over to say hello to Uncle Gu, but now she was caught by her father, so she had no choice but to ask, "What's wrong with you?"
Jiang Huanming said in embarrassment: "Youyou, you are the daughter of your mother and me, you have to find a way to help your father and mother. I originally wanted to remarry your mother if she doesn't mind, and then..."
"Disgust." Youyou honestly expressed her mother's thoughts.
"Ah?" Jiang Huanming's mouth twitched.
"Dad, Little Green Eyes is not an orphan, but he has to live in an orphanage, which is really pitiful. That's why mom said you are nothing just now." Youyou said.
Jiang Huanming's expression became even uglier: "How am I nothing? I just don't know."
“Then can you go to the welfare home and pick up Little Green Bean Eyes?” Youyou raised her face and said in an innocent and childish tone, “If you are willing to take care of her, she will be a treasure.”
Jiang Huanming: "You are scolding me."
Youyou:? ? ?
No!
