Unexpectedly, an older woman among the onlookers asked loudly, "Girl, when you picked up this child a few days ago, did you take him to the hospital for treatment?"
"Yes, Congcong had a fever at that time, so we had to take him to see a doctor first." Linglong said quickly.
"Oh, I know that. The doctor who treated the child was my daughter. She told me about it when she got home and praised you all."
With the aunt's testimony, the credibility of Linglong's words immediately increased greatly.
Linglong looked at Liu Baogen again with even more contempt.
"You and Xu Yingying disregarded worldly morals, had an affair, and got pregnant before marriage, but don't assume that everyone is like you.
In this era, there are people who have affairs before marriage and get pregnant, but who dares to speak out? It is so embarrassing.
Linglong remembered that even many years later in her previous life, when the social atmosphere had become much more open, people would still try to hide this kind of thing and would not easily let outsiders know about it.
"Even if this child is not yours, you and Zheng Tiansen are having an affair!" Liu Baogen was also desperate.
Linglong was about to fight back, but Zheng Tiansen patted her shoulder. "Linglong, you and Congcong should take a break."
After saying that, he shot a sharp look at Liu Baogen.
"Linglong has nothing to do with you anymore. She's a free individual, excellent and kind. I truly adore her and have always wanted to be her revolutionary partner. What's wrong with two single people like us getting together? Do I need to apologize to you?"
That's right, this couple is a talented man and a beautiful woman. If the woman hadn't explained that the child was not hers, anyone would have thought they were a harmonious and happy family of three.
"Together."
"Comrades of the People's Liberation Army, I support you." someone shouted.
"Girl, you haven't gotten married yet?" another curious elder sister asked.
"Well, no." Linglong said embarrassedly.
"Oh, just get married quickly. What are you still thinking about? This comrade has such good conditions." The elder sister said meaningfully.
Zheng Tiansen was wearing a military uniform with four pockets. Everyone could tell that he was an officer. Besides, he was tall and handsome.
Who wouldn’t think this is a good condition?
Linglong was feeling embarrassed, so Zheng Tiansen explained for her.
"Sister, we are planning to get married. We are also thinking of formally adopting this child if we can't find his family."
"Oh, you guys are really doing a great favor."
Everyone's attention immediately shifted to the adoption of Congcong.
Congcong is good-looking and young, so it is not difficult to find a family to adopt him.
Well, it also depends on what kind of family wants to adopt a child. Either the couple has been unable to give birth for years, or the family only has girls and wants a boy.
For people like Linglong and Zheng Tiansen, who seem to have good conditions and are still young and unmarried, if it weren't for kindness, who would be willing to adopt a child first? Wouldn't it be better to have the child themselves after getting married?
Zheng Tiansen's words once again enhanced their credibility in everyone's mind.
They were trusted, and correspondingly, Liu Baogen was despised.
"What the hell is this? You can't even stand up straight yourself, yet you still have to blame others."
"I think he just can't stand seeing other people having a good life."
"Which unit is he from? I want to report this to his leader."
"That's right, for people with moral problems like this, let's all go talk to their workplace."
Upon seeing this, Liu Baogen's two colleagues had already fled away in shame, not daring to let anyone know that they knew Liu Baogen.
The two were also glad that they did not stand up for Liu Baogen before.
This is the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative. Suddenly, so many people gathered there. Even the staff of the supply and marketing cooperative asked what to do.
Liu Baogen has been traveling around and studying in the past few days, and many people know him.
Look, someone has already recognized him.
I just didn't dare admit it in front of everyone.
I also feel it is too embarrassing. These days, the unit can be said to be a big family, and the people in it also attach great importance to the sense of collective honor.
If they come out now and admit that Liu Baogen is their man, wouldn't that bring discredit to the unit?
Liu Baogen used to be able to ignore everyone's contempt and abuse with a thick face, but when he heard that they were going to find his unit and report to his leader, he became a little panicked.
He spent a lot of money and worked hard to get this job, so he can't just lose it like that.
After all, he is not a formal employee, but only a temporary worker, so the company can just let him go if it wants.
Before anyone could ask where he worked, he squeezed out and left.
Even though everyone despised him, they wouldn't go so far as to drag people away and not let them leave.
But when he passed by, some people spat at him and some mocked him.
Seeing Liu Baogen leave in a dusty state, Linglong said loudly, "Thank you all for today."
"No thanks, it's my duty."
"You two should get married quickly."
"That's right, Sawada Takako."
Linglong's face turned red as everyone teased her.
The crowd gradually dispersed, and they also remembered their own righteousness.
Although there was an incident involving Liu Baogen, we still had to buy what we needed to buy.
Zheng Tiansen took Congcong over again, held him in his arms, and the two walked into the supply and marketing cooperative together.
When they arrived at the clothes shop, Linglong picked out two new sets of clothes for Congcong.
It’s not that she remembered Aunt Tong’s words and didn’t want to buy more. Firstly, her money was limited, and secondly, Congcong was growing too fast at his age, so it wasn’t worth buying too much. He would soon be outgrown and need to wear bigger clothes.
Seeing her carefully choosing clothes for Congcong, the salesperson also praised her son for being so cute.
Being mistaken for a real bastard, Linglong smiled without explaining.
After buying clothes, she went to buy some food for Congcong.
She also didn't forget the children's toys, but there weren't many kinds of toys for children at the moment, and Congcong was too young to play with many of them, so she just picked out two.
One is a clockwork frog and the other is a toy car.
Zheng Tiansen did not interfere with what Linglong bought. He just secretly observed Linglong and wrote down the things that Linglong looked at but did not buy.
In order to buy things for Congcong, Linglong spent almost all the money and tickets she had saved with great difficulty.
After she finished shopping, Zheng Tiansen held Congcong and carried some things back to the car with her.
After getting in the car, he suddenly said, "I remembered I forgot to buy something. You two wait in the car for a while."
"Oh, okay." Linglong didn't doubt it.
I took the newly bought frog and toy car and started playing with Congcong in the car.
It was about ten minutes later that Zheng Tiansen returned.
The things he was carrying were no less than what Linglong had just bought, in fact, more.
Linglong just took a quick glance and was stunned.
These things look so familiar.
She was stunned for a moment, and then she remembered the last time Zheng Tiansen gave her malted milk.
So, he went back just to buy back the things he had seen but didn't buy?
For a moment, Linglong was in such mixed emotions that she didn't know what to say.
