Chapter 70

Ruishuang had no idea that her good looks had impacted others.

After entering the kitchen, she took an apron and put it on, then turned on the tap and began to wash apples, saying enviously, "Tap water is still convenient. I heard that our area is also planning to use it. If it is really connected, it will save a lot of trouble."

In fact, the tap water at that time was not available 24 hours a day, but only once in the morning and once in the evening, so water still had to be stored in the water tank every day.

But it is much more convenient to have free water when cooking in the morning and evening.

Seeing her wash with cold water, Hu Xiu quickly took a basin and put it in the sink, then picked up the kettle on the coal stove and poured hot water into it while disapproving, "Why are you using cold water directly? It's below zero today, it will hurt when you get old."

Zhui Sheng smiled and said, "It's nothing. I'm used to it."

Hearing this, Hu Xiu asked curiously, "Rou Bao is one year old now. He can be sent to the nursery after the Chinese New Year. Will Hong Ying go back to her hometown?"

Zhui Shuang nodded: "Ten yuan a month, including food and accommodation, I can hold on for half a year, but I will be reluctant to give it up later."

Hu Xiu: "Can you handle it?"

Zhui Shuang smiled and replied: "Of course I am busy, but Ping Ping and Mei Mei are very sensible. It is better for them to help me than to farm in the countryside."

Seeing her smiling face and satisfied with her current life, Hu Xiu still felt a little sorry for her. The future was still long, and Tingting and Xiaowei couldn't help her all the time...

Thinking of this, and thinking of Wu Yuzhen's enthusiasm just now, Hu Xiu hesitated for a while, and finally pretended to be casual and said: "Look at my brain, I almost forgot to tell you that Yuzhen is Xie Hao's mother, and Jiajia is Xie Hao's daughter."

Tingting, who was peeling the fruit with a knife, was stunned for a moment, and then said in disbelief: "Is it true? This is too coincidental, so Comrade Xie and Tingting are neighbors?"

Hu Xiu...

"Oh, I didn't know just now. Was I too cold to him? Comrade Xie has helped me a lot... No, auntie, I have to go out and explain to them first." Lushuang, who realized her mistake belatedly and felt a little rude, quickly put down the apple and knife, and walked out while pulling her apron.

Hu Xiu grabbed the person and said with a smile: "No need to go out specially. We are neighbors. We will be together for a long time in the future. If you really care about this, it's not worth it to be a close friend. Don't you want to make fruit tea? Bring a bowl for Yuzhen and Jiajia later. It's better than going out empty-handed now." He thought in his heart that no matter whether they are in a relationship in the future or not, the woman should always be reserved.

"Aunt Xiu, you have considered everything carefully." As expected, Rui Shuang did not go out again, but quickened her movements. After all, it was almost 7 o'clock, and at Jia Jia's age, she should have to go to school at 8 o'clock.

Wu Yuzhen, who was being missed by Rui Rui, calmed down after the initial shock of her beauty and continued to chat happily with Rui Rui.

But only she herself knows what kind of extreme differences there are inside.

What made him angry was naturally that the girl his son liked was not only good-looking, but also had a pretty face.

Bing's point is that her son's appearance has not been liked by the public since he was a child, so it seems a bit out of her reach.

To put it bluntly, without that police uniform, who would believe that her son is a policeman?

This is not true. Even though he is wearing a police uniform, many people suspect that her son Xie Hao is not a good person.

The only thing he had was his decent family background, but it didn't seem to be of much advantage.

After all, Rui Wei had already revealed in his words just now that Rui Qing had a formal job, a house, was very motivated, and was attending night school.

My younger brother is still an actor in movies, although there are many old-fashioned people nowadays who think that actors are just plays and cannot appear on stage.

But most people still admire her, like her!

What's more, they are not part of the regular organization and are members of the arts and cultural corps. After all, they are soldiers, and their status is very different from that of ordinary entertainers.

Just when Wu Yuzhen was feeling bitter and increasingly frustrated, a man who looked a little cold and unapproachable came down the spiral staircase in a hurry.

Wei looked at the man and asked with a smile: "Is Tingting awake?"

Huo Xiao nodded and looked at the strange woman and child: "Who are these two?"

Lu Wei: "This is Xie Hao's mother and daughter." He then looked at Wu Yuzhen and introduced with a smile: "Auntie, this is my brother-in-law, Huo Xiao, he is a soldier."

Huo Xiao knew what his wife and brother-in-law were thinking, so he said politely, "Auntie, you can bring the kids over to visit us more often when you have time. We'll be here for the next few days."

Wu Yuzhen's heart was originally very cold, but when she saw the son-in-law of the Lu family, she suddenly felt a little more confident.

It's not her fault. Although Captain Huo looks good, his aura is too strong and he seems difficult to approach.

Although he is better than her own son Xie Hao, not everyone can stand it.

At least from this point we can see that the Lu family does not judge people by their appearance!

Given her son's character, he might have a chance to marry the beauty.

Thinking of this, Wu Yuzhen's expression remained unchanged, but she was happy again in her heart: "Are you only staying here for a few days?"

Huo Xiao nodded: "I will return to the army when my wife is better."

By the way, you just said he was a soldier and his family could follow the army, so the position of this young man in front of me must not be low.

But Wu Yuzhen didn't care much about this. She wanted to see the newborn baby and the younger sister that Lu Qing loved so much.

As if he could hear her thoughts, Huo Xiao asked at the right time: "Auntie, do you want to go see the child?"

Wu Yuzhen was surprised, but also a little embarrassed. After all, it was so early in the morning that she could just sit in the living room. How could she have the nerve to sneak into someone else's bedroom?

Seeing that she was interested, Huo Xiao turned around and led the people upstairs.

It's not that he is kind-hearted, but yesterday his wife was obviously interested in the fact that Xie Hao became her eldest brother-in-law.

Unfortunately, his wife was in confinement and couldn't come out, so he could only send Wu Yuzhen's grandparents over...

In the bedroom.

Ruiting was wearing a big red woolen hat knitted by her grandmother. She was leaning against the head of the bed, holding Niannian, who had just had his diaper changed and had his eyes open, and she was talking to the twins with a smile.

She was a little confused when she saw her husband leading a strange aunt in.

It was only when Guoguo called out "Sister Jia Jia" that he realized who the person was.

Li Ting was not surprised that the other party would come to her house, but it was much sooner than she expected, which seemed to show that he valued her elder sister very much.

Thinking of this, she smiled and quickly asked everyone to sit down, and asked Miaomiao to get some delicious food for the young lady.

Wu Yuzhen hurriedly said, "No, no, you're too polite. We'll just take a look at the child and leave."

Li Ting curled her peach blossom eyes and said, "Of course, it's just a few snacks. Please don't be polite. Yesterday, my second brother told me that Comrade Xie Hao lives nearby. I was surprised. Comrade Xie has helped my eldest sister a lot. If he hadn't been in confinement and couldn't go out, I would have gone to thank him this morning."

The words sounded so intimate that Wu Yuzhen immediately felt more at ease.

After the children had gone off to have fun, she quickly went over to take a look at the baby.

It takes a process for a child to grow from a wrinkled little monkey to a puffy white steamed bun, but an experienced person can tell at a glance whether the foundation is good or not.

Wu Yuzhen was the one with the experience. She boasted with a smile: "This child is so beautiful. She will definitely be a rare beauty when she grows up."

Speaking of beauties, Wu Yuzhen's eyes moved around on Li Ting's face again.

She really didn't expect that Lu Lu's sister didn't look like her at all. Instead, she looked about 50% to 60% like Lu Wei. She was a beautiful lady with charming eyes and eyebrows.

Especially the big red hat, which sets off the person's fair skin and red lips even more beautifully, and she doesn't look like she was just born at all.

As for her own children, whether they were the twins of a dragon and a phoenix or the current Niannian, she would not be modest when receiving compliments from others, and would immediately smile and say, "I think so too."

Hearing this, Wu Yuzhen was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing: "Oh, your personality is what my aunt likes. I despise the kind of parents who have to belittle their children when others praise them. How much it undermines the children's self-confidence? Children still have to be praised, openly and happily."

But most Chinese are like this, and would like to belittle it a little more to highlight the virtue of humility...

It was the first time the two met, and although they were not familiar with each other, their purpose was clear, and they both intended to turn the topic to Xie Hao.

So, after a few more pleasantries, Wu Yuzhen complained with a smile that her son did not look like a good person, but in fact he had a good heart. When he divorced his ex-wife, he did not make things ugly for the sake of his children.

Hearing this, knowing that the other party was going to tell her about Xie Hao's past, she smiled and asked, "What happened at that time?"

Speaking of her ex-daughter-in-law, Wu Yuzhen, who prided herself on being well-mannered, had a distorted expression. She first glanced at her granddaughters and saw that the children were laughing together. They probably couldn't hear what was being said here, so she lowered her voice and started talking.

The story is not complicated.

When they reached the right age, two well-matched young people got married through a blind date.

Unlike most people nowadays who think that marriage is a lifelong commitment, Xie Hao's ex-wife is an erotist who likes and enjoys romance.

This book is not wrong.

But her love came and went quickly.

After three years of marriage, she said she fell in love with another man and didn't want her husband to be wronged, so she cheated on him and threatened to divorce him.

After a thorough discussion with her, Xie Hao was sure that she was determined, so he agreed to the divorce: "...She didn't want the child, saying it would affect her relationship with that man. In fact, we couldn't bear to part with Jia Jia, so we didn't consider her at all."

I never thought that in the 1960s, I would still meet someone who would abandon her husband and daughter for "true love".

After being dumbfounded, she couldn't help gossiping: "So... is she doing well with that guy?"

This is what made Wu Yuzhen speechless. She curled her lips and said, "She was desperate for a divorce, and finally married that man for more than a year. She left her son behind for a few months and divorced again. I heard from Jiajia's grandmother that this is her fourth marriage."

藺葶... This doesn't seem to be considered hooliganism? After all, there are formal procedures.

But...in this day and age, being able to withstand rumors and gossips is also a sign of greatness!

Thinking this, she just said it.

Wu Yuzhen waved her hands: "No, she's very smart. She gets married once and moves to a new place. Apart from those of us who know her inside out, who in the local area knows how many times she's been married? How many children she's had?"

"...She's quite smart." Tingting curled her lips, and felt that Xie Hao's ex-wife had the ability to be a sea king, but she was born in the wrong era...

But she just listened for fun, she didn't care about other people's affairs, she only cared about her elder sister. If she really had something with Xie Hao, there must not be Bai Yueguang or anything like that.

As for why her eldest sister got divorced, she didn't say.

After all, I still don't know what my elder sister is thinking, so it won't be too late to go back and find out what she thinks before bringing it up.

Although Ting Ting had good thoughts, she forgot to consider the anger in Wu Yuzhen's heart.

After she finished explaining her family's situation, Lu Shuang's sister didn't react at all, and she was a little confused about what he meant.

After waiting and waiting, and chatting about all sorts of things, it was almost time for my granddaughter to go to school.

Wu Yuzhen couldn't help herself and asked tentatively: "Do you think... my Xie Hao and Lu Qing are a suitable match?"

As soon as she entered the room, she was stunned by these words when she brought a small pot of fruit tea...

Who?

Who is with whom?
