Chapter 185
"Comrade Xu."
Tang Wan turned around unexpectedly and met Lanhua's big eyes. She was afraid of touching Tang Wan, so she just gently pulled the corner of Tang Wan's clothes.
"Aunt Tang."
"Comrade Tang, I'm glad to meet you. I'm getting married tomorrow. Do you have time to come over?"
Xu He's eyes fell on Tang Wan's big belly, and she felt a little embarrassed.
"It's okay if it's inconvenient."
"OK."
Tang Wan agreed with a smile. She raised her hand and pinched Lanhua's little face. "I haven't seen Lanhua for a long time. It's a good opportunity for me to accompany her."
She could see that Lanhua didn't seem very happy, and the child had become much more withdrawn.
"Okay, Lanhua just likes you."
Xu He looked helpless, "You also know Chunlin's family, you should know that his family is nice.
Now even his mother has accepted me, and they have met Lanhua a few times, but Lanhua doesn’t get along with them.”
Faced with a group of strangers with no blood relationship with her, Lanhua shrank timidly and curled herself up like a snail.
Xu He was extremely worried, but fortunately she listened to Tang Wan and did not take the person away first, otherwise things would have been even more difficult.
"mother."
When Lanhua heard Xu He's words, she frowned slightly but didn't say anything.
Xu He explained to Tang Wan awkwardly, "Don't say these things in front of the children next time.
By the way, Comrade Tang, this is Chunli's home address, don't go to the wrong place when the time comes."
Xu He gave an address and then separated from Lanhua and Tang Wan.
When Wang Dani came out, she saw Tang Wan waving at Lan Hua, "Who is that?"
"It's Huai Jing..."
Tang Wan explained Xu He's identity, and finally sighed: "This child without a father is so pitiful."
"Who says it's not?"
Wang Dani understands this very well, after all, she went through a lot of hardships raising her child alone in her early years.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law didn't say much, and after a while Lu Huaili came out carrying the things she bought.
"I'm lucky today. I got some processed fabric from the factory. I can make a lining for Niuniu."
"I bought some too, and will make some clothes for my kids later."
Wang Dani thought that Tang Wan was pregnant with more than one baby, so she naturally needed more clothes and diapers than others.
With them around, Tang Wan did not go to see the old man, and then went back with them in the ox cart.
On the day of Xu He's wedding, Wang Dani was worried about Tang Wan going alone, after all, she was pregnant.
So she went with her.
The Zhang family was well off. In that era, they even had an independent courtyard. However, Zhang Chunli's mother gave birth to several children.
Because Zhang Chunli knew Tang Wan, Xu He asked Zhang Chunli to greet Tang Wan.
Zhang Chunli was shocked to see her big belly.
"Sister Tang, your belly is so big now?"
When I met Sister Tang earlier, she had a slim waist and long legs, and looked very elegant.
After not seeing each other for a while, Sister Tang's belly has become so big and she has grown a little taller.
Fortunately, Tang Wan would secretly practice yoga in her space at night, otherwise she would have gained even more weight.
On days like this, Aunt Zhou did not come, but just sent orchids over.
Seeing Tang Wan was there, she felt relieved and asked Tang Wan to help look after the orchids.
The wedding ceremony was very simple. Zhang Chunlin and Xu He took an oath and read a revolutionary declaration.
Standing in the crowd, Tang Wan heard someone whispering, "Don't think they are doing so well now. I heard that Xu He is a second-hand product."
"The child is already so big. I think Chunlin's mother is confused. She wants a daughter-in-law like this."
"Chunlin is still a virgin, how can he marry a widow?"
“…”
The chattering made Tang Wan and Wang Dani feel very uncomfortable. Lanhua even clutched Tang Wan's sleeves tightly and almost cried.
"What nonsense?"
Tang Wan frowned, "The young couple is happy, their parents are happy, but you guys are unhappy?"
"that is!"
Wang Dani said angrily: "Why don't you go and ask why her husband is gone.
That's not because she performed a mission and made contributions. If it weren't for the man in front of her who defended the country, would you be able to come to the banquet so comfortably now?"
"You don't have any awareness at all. Are you still from our Flower Country?"
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law kept arguing with each other, leaving these gossipy relatives speechless.
From a distance, Xu He cast a grateful look at Tang Wan.
We had lunch at Zhang's house. Nowadays, it is not fashionable to waste food, so the food on each table was just enough.
Wang Dani used her chopsticks very quickly. She not only picked up her own portion, but also picked up Tang Wan's portion.
"Wan Wan, eat more."
"Thank you, mother."
Tang Wan ate the food in the bowl happily, feeding Lanhua from time to time.
Lanhua looked at Xu He and Zhang Chunlin toasting each other. The little girl lowered her eyelids and asked Tang Wan softly.
"Aunt Tang, will mommy not want me anymore in the future?"
"How come?"
Tang Wan frowned and said seriously, "Who told you? How could your mother not want you?"
"My aunt and the others said that if my mother gave birth to a younger brother, she would no longer want me."
Lanhua pouted her lips, tears welled up in her eyes and she looked so pitiful.
Perhaps because she was about to become a mother, Tang Wan felt a little soft-hearted when asked by her child.
“Even though your mother has started a family with another uncle, it does not prevent her from being your mother.
Lanhua, the people who are closest to you in this world are your father, mother and grandma. You must listen to your grandma in the future."
Aunt Zhou is capable and sensible, and she believes that she will teach Lanhua well.
"As for the others, especially what your uncle and aunt said, don't be too naive. They said that on purpose."
"Really?"
Lanhua burst into laughter and saw Xu He walking towards her with Zhang Chunlin.
"Of course it's true."
Tang Wan nodded vigorously. Lanhua turned to look at Xu He and the others, calling her in a baby voice.
"Mom, Uncle."
“Hey.”
Xu He agreed generously, not caring at all about other people's strange looks.
Lanhua was the child she gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy, so there was nothing to hide.
Zhang Chunlin looked gentle and refined. He smiled softly at Lanhua and said, "Lanhua, you can call me whatever you want.
If you don’t mind, you can call me daddy. This is for you.”
He handed Lanhua a big red envelope without forcing the child.
Lanhua didn't know whether she should accept it, so she subconsciously looked at Xu He, who nodded slightly.
Lanhua then took the red envelope and said in a low voice, "Thank you, uncle."
"Good boy, if you want to stay here anytime, don't be embarrassed."
Zhang Chunlin has feelings for Xu He, so he loves her and is also nice to Lanhua.
Lanhua's biological father has passed away and she was a poor child, so everyone in the Zhang family treats Lanhua well.
"Um."
Lanhua neither agreed nor refused, but just nodded slightly. The child was only a few years old, but seemed a little precocious.
