Chapter 32 Ending the abandoned woman remarrying in the 1980s
Fortunately, Rong Zhen left a small note before leaving, otherwise Qin Fengnian would not know where to find her.
Now that his wife had left, he quickly packed his luggage and moved to the fifth family compound.
Rongzhen's previous small house here is still habitable. The factory didn't take it away, and the things inside are quite complete. She plans to live here for a while, and then return to the courtyard after the fetus is stable. By then, the bedroom over there should be renovated.
But Qin Fengnian didn't know her plan and thought she wanted to separate from him.
They separated just after having a child. Wouldn’t divorce be the next step?
This is absolutely not allowed!
Qin Fengnian's sense of crisis doubled, and he arrived at the door of the cabin almost at the same time as Rong Zhen.
Rongzhen didn't expect him to come so quickly. She asked with a straight face, "What are you doing here?"
"You are here, where else can I go if I don't come here?" Qin Fengnian said as if it was a matter of course.
Rongzhen opened the door, put her things away, and then occupied the only bed in the room and snorted, "I don't care where you go, there's no place for you to stay here."
"Zhenzhen..." Qin Fengnian whispered weakly and took a step forward to hold her hand.
Rongzhen dodged, "Don't call me! Who promised me that they wouldn't hide anything from me anymore, only to have that slapped in the face the next moment?"
Qin Fengnian stood there, tall, with his head lowered. "It's me. I'm sorry."
"That kind of thing is too disgusting. You just got pregnant, I don't want it to dirty your ears."
Rong Zhen: "But I'd rather be clearly and clearly told than have you keep hiding things from me. Honesty is the most important thing between husband and wife. If you keep secrets from me and I keep secrets from you, even if it's with good intentions, it will easily lead to a crisis of trust if it happens too often, you know?"
Once trust is gone, how long can the feelings and relationships between people last? Sooner or later, they will be on the verge of breaking down.
"I was wrong." Qin Fengnian squatted down and apologized sincerely, and his big hand approached her tentatively.
Rong Zhen didn't dodge this time, and he successfully held her hand. Still with a threatening look on her face, she asked him, "Since you know you're wrong, will you dare to do it again next time?"
Qin Fengnian put her palm against his handsome face and shook his head: "I don't dare anymore." Rong Zhen gave up and sent him back to the cadre building.
Qin Fengnian refused. He would rather sleep on the floor here and take care of his wife and children than live alone in the cadre building.
"Just let me take care of you here and make amends for your sins."
They had just had a conflict and she was pregnant. How could he let her stay here alone?
Rongzhen disagreed: "How can there be anyone? My parents, brother and sister-in-law are all here. They can come and take care of me at any time."
"But they all have to go to work. Even if they can take care of you, it can only be after get off work. In case you need to do something during work, it would be more convenient for me." Qin Fengnian argued.
That’s true, but…
Rongzhen suddenly looked at him: "Don't forget that you have to go to work too. Now that the factory is clean, your project should start, right? Why don't you go to work?"
Qin Fengnian rubbed against her and sat down next to her. "I'm the chief engineer. I don't need to do everything myself. I just need to occasionally supervise the progress and control the general direction."
After all, the technology and drawings are ready, and the relevant personnel are in place. If this still cannot be done, he will have to consider whether to change the location.
"No wonder you're so free."
Qin Fengnian took advantage of the situation and put his arm around her shoulders, smiling broadly: "This way I can better accompany you during your pregnancy. Once the baby is born, there will be plenty of time to be busy."
"Who's more important, the baby or me?" Rongzhen deliberately made things difficult for him.
This question is like if his wife and mother both fall into the water at the same time and he has to decide which one to save first. If he doesn't answer it well, he will easily be in trouble with both sides.
Qin Fengnian said without hesitation: "Of course you are important. It is because of you that I have it. I love it as much as I love everything about it. I love you as much as I love everything about it."
Rongzhen was so happy to be comforted by him that she didn't blame him in a hypocritical way for not putting the child first.
She was just pregnant, not overwhelmed by hormones. She knew clearly that no matter how much a woman loved her children, she must first learn to love herself. Even if she became a mother in the future, she must not lose her independent personality and become a vassal who revolved around her children in everything.
Rong Zhen told Qin Fengnian her idea and asked him what he thought: "Do you think I'm selfish?"
"No." Qin Fengnian kissed her forehead and said with relief: "I'm glad you think so."
"Really?"
"real."
If you don’t believe it, touch his sincere chest.
Rongzhen: ...You're pregnant, what are you touching?
After an in-depth exchange of beauty/temptation and shared values, the two temporarily reconciled, and Qin Fengnian was allowed to stay in the cabin for an observation period.
In the evening, when Wang Fengxian and her family got off work and learned that she had returned, the whole family came to see her. When they saw Qin Fengnian was there, the worry on their faces faded.
Wang Fengxian privately told Rongzhen, "Mom thought you came back after a fight with Xiao Qin. You scared your dad and me."
These days it's not customary for a married girl to just go back to her parents' home. It doesn't count if she's accompanied by her husband or visiting relatives. If anyone else comes back, it means something's wrong.
Rongzhen didn't take this into consideration and quickly explained that the courtyard house needed renovation, and she was pregnant, and the cadre building was too noisy, so she moved here first and would be able to go back soon.
"Pregnant?!" Wang Fengxian almost broke her voice.
Rongzhen nodded with a smile, "Yes, it's just been a month."
Wang Fengxian was so happy that she stood up and jumped twice, spinning around in circles, saying that she had to live more comfortably when she was pregnant. She remembered that when she was pregnant with them, she couldn't tolerate any noise, otherwise she would become very irritable and want to hit her man. She just couldn't stand him no matter what.
Rongzhen found a reason for her behavior of making things difficult for Qin Fengnian. It turned out that there was a genetic precedent. You really can't blame her.
Because of this happy event, the couple didn't even cook for dinner. They went straight to the front to eat with Wang Fengxian and the others.
During this period, Rong Zhen and Qin Fengnian tacitly did not let them know that they had just had a conflict, and they still behaved like a loving couple.
In fact, they are who they are, and there is no need to pretend, otherwise they will not be able to deceive others.
You have to know that Wang Fengxian and Zhang's father have much richer life experience than the two of them and have sharp eyes.
After the meal, the couple returned to the cabin with a bunch of nutritional supplements. Not long after, they were greeted by Yu He who came to visit them with gifts.
"I heard you were pregnant? I came to see you." Yu He handed the things to Qin Fengnian, her eyes always on Rong Zhen.
Of course, Rongzhen wouldn't be so narcissistic as to think that she was interested in him. It was obvious that she had something to say to her.
Thinking of her heroic demeanor during the midnight operation, Rong Zhen took the initiative to speak: "Comrade Yu He, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Yu Ha relaxed her shoulders and nodded, then she and Rong Zhen looked at the other person present.
Qin Fengnian was stared at by the two people with gazes that seemed to be clearing the area. He should have been tactful and given them space to talk, but he just refused to leave.
Is there anything you can't say to his face?
That's really a bit impossible. He was standing there, and Yu He felt a bit unable to speak.
"It's okay, just treat him as a wooden stake." Rong Zhen's defensive words made Qin Fengnian's mouth curl up.
Good that she didn't kick him out just because of an outsider.
Yu He had no choice but to bite the bullet and state her purpose.
She already knew that Rong Zhen was having a quarrel with Qin Fengnian because of the fake marriage, and she came here mainly to persuade her not to be impulsive. Even for the sake of the child, she had to give Qin Fengnian a chance to explain properly.
Rongzhen listened to her dry words, as if someone had prepared them for her to recite in advance, and it was obvious that they were not her own thoughts.
"Did the organization ask you to persuade me?"
Yu He didn't deny it, looking embarrassed: "Was it that obvious?"
Rongzhen smiled and didn't hit her.
Qin Fengnian was much more venomous and said bluntly: "It's not obvious, but it's almost written on your face. If you can show the same skills you used to deal with Secretary Bai, maybe we can still believe you."
When mentioning Secretary Bai, Yu He's expression slightly restrained.
Rong Zhen glanced at Qin Fengnian secretly, thinking that he was really talking about something that was irrelevant to the topic.
Qin Fengnian touched his earlobe and stopped talking. He said to Yu He, "Go back and tell the leaders that every couple has some conflicts. There's no need to make such a big fuss. We have a good relationship. We quarrel at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of the bed. There's no need for outsiders to worry about it. It won't delay production and construction."
Yu He felt relieved after receiving the confirmation. She stood up and said goodbye, "Okay, I will tell you the truth."
When she left, she left the gifts behind, all of which were specially selected to be beneficial for pregnant women.
Knowing that it was his leader's intention, Qin Fengnian accepted it without any pressure. He took out a box of bird's nest and wanted to stew it for Rongzhen.
Rongzhen declined the offer. That was the swallow's saliva. In terms of nutritional value, it was not as good as eggs and white fungus, and the taste was not very good either.
Qin Fengnian immediately put it down and asked her, "What do you want to eat? I saw you didn't eat much earlier. Do you have no appetite? Or is there something else you want to eat?"
He took out the manual and read through the precautions during pregnancy. One of them was that the mood and taste of pregnant women would change at any time during pregnancy, and family members needed to comfort and pay attention to them, and try their best to take care of them and satisfy them.
Rong Zhen saw him looking closely, then glanced at the sky outside and refused, "Forget it, it's too late. I just ate little and I'm not hungry. There's no need to bother."
Qin Fengnian closed the booklet and said, "It's not late at all. It's still early. Tell me what you want to eat and I'll make or buy it."
Rongzhen doesn't want it and asks Qin Fengnian to stay at home and accompany her.
It’s almost time to go to bed, why are you still running outside!
Qin Fengnian took advantage of the situation and got into bed. In the middle of the night, he heard Rong Zhen's stomach growling with hunger. He was lying there unable to sleep, but he was unwilling to wake him up to ask for food.
This made him feel hot inside, but also helpless and funny.
"Don't you know how to find something to eat when you're hungry? Even if you don't want to disturb my sleep, you can get up and find something to eat yourself."
It's stupid to just starve like that.
Rong Zhen turned her face away: "You are stupid, I clearly don't want to eat."
"Tell me what you want to eat and I'll find a way. You can't just starve like this." Qin Fengnian coaxed softly.
Rongzhen touched her stomach, and the image of plump white dumplings flashed through her mind. "I want to eat dumplings. Go buy them for me tomorrow morning."
Now, just make her a bowl of malted milk to soothe her.
The gift that Yu He sent included malted milk. Wang Fengxian gave them a thermos of hot water. There was no shortage of clean bowls and spoons at home, so they made the drink quickly.
Qin Fengnian handed the bowl to Rongzhen and asked her to drink it slowly and close her eyes after finishing it. He went out to go to the bathroom.
Rongzhen didn't think much about it and really thought he went to the toilet. After drinking the malted milk, she fell into a deep sleep. She didn't know how long later, she was suddenly awakened by a loud bang outside.
Dazzling lightning illuminated the house through the window, and heavy rain poured down with a crackling sound.
The summer rain came quickly and sharply, falling to the ground with overwhelming force, splashing a fishy smell of earth.
Rongzhen reacted and subconsciously touched the place next to him.
I searched in vain, Qin Fengnian was not there.
Where did he go?
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and I could hear the neighbors hurriedly collecting clothes in the yard.
Rongzhen was no longer sleepy and got up to go out for a look.
Unfortunately, when I opened the door, I found that it was raining heavily outside. Every raindrop could make a small hole. You can imagine what it would feel like if it hit a person.
This way, she can't get out at all.
"Qin Fengnian--" She stood at the door and called out to the rain, thinking that he might have had a stomachache and had gone out to sleep and had not returned yet.
Unfortunately, no one responded for a long time, and the calling voices were drowned out by the heavy rain.
Rongzhen had no choice but to wait for him at the door with the door open, her face full of worry and anxiety that she was not aware of. Her body leaned against the door frame without moving. The dim light in the room shone on her, stretching her shadow very long.
This was the scene Qin Fengnian saw when he returned through the darkness and rain carrying a lunch box. He immediately sped up and flew towards the person waiting for him.
He ran with his long legs, really like flying, stepping on the rain and coming closer in a blink of an eye.
Seeing him soaked like a drowned rat, without even an umbrella, Rong Zhen was furious and quickly pulled him into the house. "Where have you been in the middle of the night? It's raining so hard outside, and you didn't even take an umbrella or wear a raincoat? What if you catch a cold? You'll be the one who suffers then. Don't think you can't take care of yourself just because you're young and strong. You'll suffer when you get old."
When she caught the person, she started to scold him, but the person she was scolding smiled and looked very happy listening to it, which made her want to give him a few slaps.
"Don't be angry, look what I brought you." After enjoying the care of his lover, Qin Fengnian immediately handed over the food box he had been carrying all the way.
Rongzhen took it and put it aside, and urged him to change his clothes quickly, saying that he was soaking wet and should be careful not to catch a cold.
There was still a lot of hot water in the thermos, enough for him to wash his body. Rong Zhen wanted to help him, but Qin Fengnian pushed her to sit on the edge of the bed and put the food box back in her hand.
"I'll do it myself. Aren't you hungry? Eat quickly." Qin Fengnian said as he opened the lid of the box for her, revealing the plump, hot, fresh dumplings inside.
Rongzhen looked at the buns, which were supposed to be sold in the morning, and her nose felt sore: "You went out in the rain in the middle of the night just to buy this for me?"
Qin Fengnian explained that he did not go out in the rain in the middle of the night, and he did not expect it to rain suddenly. He originally wanted to try going over under the pretext of going to the bathroom, but he did not expect it to take so long. He was worried that she would find out at home and would not be able to wait, so he hurried back in the rain.
"Try it while it's hot and see if it tastes like what you want."
Qin Fengnian urged her with anticipation in his eyes.
Rongzhen took advantage of his unpreparedness, picked up one and stuffed it into his mouth, letting him taste it for her.
Qin Fengnian smiled happily and said that the taste was still the same, and it was worth it that he specially found the chef who made the dumplings in their store.
Even if he didn't tell her how he did it, Rongzhen knew it must be difficult to ask the chef to get up in the middle of the night to make dumplings for him.
She took a small bite and ate it. Every bite was like savoring a delicacy. She nodded and praised it as it was even more delicious than what she had eaten in the store before.
Qin Fengnian watched her eat four or five in a row, and he finally felt relieved. Only then did he feel uncomfortable with the wet clothes sticking to his body, so he quickly took them off and walked back and forth wearing only the bitter tea cloth to wipe and clean himself.
He is tall and has a good figure, and it is really tempting to see him standing there naked like this.
But when Rong Zhen looked over, the first thing he noticed was his skin that was red from the raindrops, and the several burn scars left from saving people from the fire last time.
She put down her lunch box and walked over, touching those places carefully.
Qin Fengnian paused and let her do what she wanted.
"Does it still hurt?" Rong Zhen choked with pain and didn't dare to use any force.
Qin Fengnian stood up and covered her hand, closing the distance between them. He said softly, "It's nothing. It doesn't hurt anymore. If you want to feel sorry for me, why don't you let me end the observation period and stop being angry with me?"
Rongzhen clung to his back and shook, and said honestly: "I'm not mad at you, I'm just a little emotional because of my pregnancy, and I wanted to make you suffer. I'm sorry."
"I should be the one to say sorry. Let's communicate well in the future, be tolerant and understanding of each other, and strive to live a long and happy life together, okay?" Qin Fengnian turned around and kissed her lips.
A tear rolled down Rongzhen's eyes and she nodded and said okay.
After half a night of tenderness, the two were completely reconciled.
The next day the rain stopped and the sky cleared up. The children came back from vacation to visit them. They were generally very happy to hear the news that she was pregnant.
Although Rong Zhen later discovered that Wang Erni had signs of contacting Chanchan, she did not try to stop her. According to what she and Qin Fengnian had agreed upon before, it all depended on Chanchan's own choice.
When the baby in her belly grew to the point where she was visible, the doctor found out that she was pregnant with twins. She had severe morning sickness and began to suffer.
Because of this, Rong Zhen didn't take care of the older children for a while, which gave Wang Erni the opportunity to take advantage of the situation. She actually let Chan Chan know the truth about her life experience and insisted on going back with her.
Rongzhen repeatedly confirmed with Chanchan, "Do you really want to go back? The conditions in the countryside are not as good as in the city, and she has more than one child. You might suffer a lot if you go back with her. I'm pregnant now and it's inevitable that I'll neglect you, but I love you just as much as before, and I don't want you to suffer if you go back with her."
"She is my own daughter. How can she suffer if she goes back with me? I will only treat her better and will not let others surpass her." Wang Erni vowed.
Chanchan pursed her lips with a stubborn look on her face, insisting on going back.
Qin Fengnian noticed that she was in a bad mood and asked if anyone had said anything to her.
Chanchan said nothing.
Juanjuan didn't know that although she was always inseparable from her sister, there were always times when she couldn't take care of her.
There was no choice but for Rongzhen to let him go, lest he be labeled as the bad guy despite having good intentions.
Before leaving, she warned Wang Erni that it would be better to do what she said.
After Chanchan left, Juanjuan was the saddest. She was depressed for a long time before she recovered. After Rongzhen's comfort and guidance, her attention gradually shifted to her future younger brothers and sisters.
Her sister is almost three years older than her, and she is also almost three years older than her younger siblings. Now that her sister is gone and can no longer accompany her, she will have to keep her younger siblings company from now on.
As for her two brothers, only the second brother played well with her. She felt that there was always something between her and the eldest brother, who was not close to her, and she didn't want to get close to him.
Speaking of the two Jinyu brothers, Rongzhen and Qin Fengnian were quite troubled.
They had been hiding Yu Jiao's affairs from them, fearing that they would not be able to bear the blow. However, when Rong Zhen was nine months pregnant and about to give birth, the two brothers got some news and came to them to confirm its truth.
Qin Huaiyu was a lively person and couldn't hide the truth. He rushed over and asked first, "Uncle and Aunt, are you guys lying to me? Aunt Jiaojiao didn't go back to the northwest at all, but was captured, right?"
Qin Huaijin followed him, pretending to stop his brother, but at the same time waiting for the answer from Rong Zhen and the others.
They were raised by Yu Jiao since they were young and had deep feelings for her. They could not believe that she was an enemy spy.
Qin Fengnian was worried that the two of them might act rashly and offend Rong Zhen, so he wanted to take them somewhere else to talk.
Qin Huaiyu refused to go and insisted that he explain everything in front of Rongzhen.
Because if that were the case, Qin Fengnian would never lie.
Qin Fengnian laughed angrily and told them bluntly: "Yes, she is indeed a Fuso enemy spy and was captured by the special operations team."
Qin Huaiyu stepped back repeatedly, saying it was impossible. He didn't believe it, turned around and ran away crying.
Qin Huaijin accepted it quickly, but he immediately asked, "Where did you catch him?"
Qin Fengnian's expression became stern, and his eyes flashed with warning: "This has nothing to do with you. Don't forget that you are Chinese."
Qin Huaijin said he knew and turned to chase his brother.
"These two children..." Rong Zhen had just watched the whole process and was worried.
Qin Fengnian helped her up and walked around, then comforted her, "Don't worry, I'll watch over them and won't give them a chance to mess around."
It is almost summer vacation again, so I will send them to the army to train and cultivate their patriotic sentiments.
By the time Rongzhen gave birth, her two brothers had already been sent to the army to roll in the mud and take moral education classes. Only the well-behaved and sensible Juanjuan was left by their side, allowing the couple to fully cope with the hectic delivery and welcome the newborn.
What's more, there was Wang Fengxian who gave great help, and Zhang's father, elder brother Zhang and his wife were on standby at any time. In the end, the birth of the child went smoothly.
Twins, a boy and a girl, all in one go, the envy of countless people.
Wang Fengxian held the younger sister in her arms and showed her to Juanjuan. She discovered that the two sisters actually looked quite similar, especially their eyes. Their eyes were round, like grapes and almonds, and at first glance, they looked similar.
Upon realizing this, Wang Fengxian couldn't help but sigh, "You two are truly destined to be sisters. It's a match made in heaven."
Juanjuan, who already knew her life story, smiled with her eyes curved, and no matter how much she kissed her sister, it was not enough.
Compared to his sister who looks more like Rongzhen, the brother looks more like Qin Fengnian, with phoenix eyes, long eyebrows, a high nose and diamond lips. He is definitely a handsome guy. I wonder how many people he will charm when he grows up.
Qin Fengnian named them Qin Jinyu and Zhang Chanjuan respectively. The older brother took his father's surname and the younger sister took her mother's surname. In this way, there were exactly three boys with their father's surname and three girls with their mother's surname among the six children in the family.
Even though Chanchan has left, her place in the family is still reserved for her.
Rongzhen has no objection to this, but the names of the two children seem a bit lazy. They just combine their older brother and sister's names together. How much are they trying to save trouble?
Wang Fengxian and her family thought that the name was well chosen, had a good meaning, was pleasant to say, and could promote family harmony. The son-in-law was really thoughtful.
After the child is born, the days go by faster. In the blink of an eye, the child grows up to the point where he can walk, run, call mom and dad, and of course, he also starts to act naughty.
Whenever this happened, Rong Zhen would let Qin Fengnian act as the tiger dad to teach them a lesson, and then she would transform into the gentle cat mom to comfort and educate them. The effect was remarkable and worked every time.
On this day, just as her intimate mother experience coupons ran out, Juanjuan suddenly ran over and whispered, "Mom, my sister is back. She's outside and doesn't dare to come in."
Rongzhen thought of the lively and cheerful child, and immediately went out to look for her. She found her in a corner not far from the courtyard gate.
The little girl who used to be beautifully dressed was now wearing old coarse cloth clothes, was thin, and had a sallow complexion. She looked malnourished. She no longer had the confident and proud smile she used to have. She had become gloomy, silent, and timid.
When Rongzhen saw her, she also saw Rongzhen, but she was shy and didn't dare to go forward, her eyes revealing infinite longing.
"Sister!" Juanjuan ran over without hesitation and dragged the person over.
Chanchan lowered her head and walked over to Rongzhen. She carefully raised her head to glance at her and called out in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "Mom."
Rong Zhen hummed in agreement, rubbed her head as he used to, and said in a familiar tone, "Are you finally willing to come back?"
Chanchan couldn't hold it in any longer, and burst into tears, throwing herself into her arms and telling her about the grievances she had suffered over the years.
At the beginning, Wang Erni told her the truth about her life experience, saying that once her mother had her own children, she would be a burden to the family. Only by leaving and returning to them could she reduce her mother's burden and not be despised and annoyed by her mother.
They said they would treat her well after they returned, and they had promised her mother this before they left. However, they changed their minds not long after they returned. Not only did they make her work in the fields and do housework, but she also had to take care of her younger siblings and act as a babysitter. She even had to drop out of school to grow vegetables to help earn money to support the family, and she was beaten from time to time.
This time she was beaten so badly that she couldn't help but run out, and unknowingly walked back here, the place she always wanted to return to in her dreams.
Rong Zhen opened her clothes and took a look. The purple and blue willow branch marks were still there. She immediately turned serious and asked her, "Chanchan, do you believe them now, or do you believe your mother?"
Chanchan cried and hiccuped: "I believe in my mother, I don't want to believe them anymore, they are all liars!"
"Okay, welcome home, Chanchan."
Rongzhen took her to the hospital to assess her injuries, and went to the police station to report the case, accusing Wang Erni and her husband of child abuse. She frightened them into writing a letter of severance of ties, sending Chanchan for adoption, so that she could completely break off all ties with them.
When Chanchan returned to the countryside, her household registration in the city was not cancelled and has been retained over the years. As long as she comes back, she will still be the child of Rongzhen and his wife and a member of this family.
Chanchan was seriously hurt by her biological parents, and it took her a long time to recover after she came back.
Time flies, and more than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.
On the day when the twins grew up and were admitted to their favorite universities, Rongzhen's third task was finally completed.
From then on, it was all her and Qin Fengnian's time.
They will stay together until they grow old, and then strive to live to be a hundred years old. Whoever dies first will be a dog.
