Chapter 7

Xu asked and turned around.

Lu Yuanzheng bent over and held Dongsheng, who was struggling desperately with his arms and legs waving, with one hand. He covered his mouth with the other hand and nodded apologetically to Xu Wen.

Xu asked: "..."

No wonder Xiao Dongsheng became vague at the end of his speech.

She really has a connection with this father and son!

Bad fate.

Wen Yiming also turned around, adjusted his glasses, and asked Xu Wen, "Is he here to see you?"

Xu Wen was torn between pretending not to know Lu Yuanzheng and distancing himself from him and being honest about the unfamiliarity. Dongsheng had already bitten Lu Yuanzheng, and when he let go in pain, he ran towards Xu Wen.

His face and eyes were filled with joy, and he spoke excitedly before Xu Wen even approached him: "Mom, are you coming to the movie too? Dad and I are coming too, let's watch it together!"

Xu asked: "..."

Lu Yuanzheng: "..."

Wen Yiming: “…”

The movie hadn't started yet, so the members were sitting in the yard just to get a good seat to watch the movie. A few acquaintances gathered there to chat and kill time.

Dongsheng was a small man, but his voice was loud. He was especially loud because he was afraid that Xu Wen wouldn't be able to hear him clearly because of the noise.

The members who were nearby heard the noise and turned around to see Dongsheng throwing himself into Xu Wen's arms, shouting, "Mom, I miss you so much! Dad wouldn't even bring me to see you."

Most of the members in the yard were from the Taoyuan Production Brigade, and eight out of ten of them knew Xu Wen. When they saw this scene, they were so shocked that their eyes almost popped out.

"That's the third daughter of the Qiushi family, right? Are you going to find a husband for her? Where did the child come from?"

"Who else but the third daughter of the Xu family could be so outstanding! I heard from Mrs. Liu that she and her blind date went to the movies today."

When everyone heard this, they looked back and forth between Wen Yiming and Lu Yuanzheng and discussed in low voices.

"Who do you want to go on a blind date with? The one with the scar on his face or the one wearing glasses?"

"He's the one wearing glasses, right? They're both sitting together! I heard from Mrs. Liu that he and Wenwen were classmates. His family is well off, and his parents eat commercial grains."

"What's wrong with this child? Why does he call me mom?"

Everyone looked at each other, then turned to look at Xu Wen, Lu Yuanzheng and Wen Yiming, confusion and curiosity shone through their eyes.

Xu Wen covered his face: "..."

This is probably the legendary scene of social death!

"I say..." The nagging old woman who had quarreled with Zhu Meizhen and her three daughters last time curled her lips, "Could it be that Xu Wen had a child with the gay man with the scar on his face? Maybe the Xu family just knew about this and hurriedly wanted to marry Wen Wen off!"

"No way? If that's the case, why not just marry a gay man with scars?"

The gossipy woman choked and then said, "That comrade has such a big scar on his face, he might be a gangster. The Xu family doesn't like him, right? Didn't someone just say that the comrade wearing glasses has a good family? It's normal to dislike the poor and love the rich!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" There were also people from the Lu Family Production Team in the crowd who knew Lu Yuanzheng and defended him: "Comrade Xiaolu is a soldier, and his face was injured in the war! Comrade Xiaolu sacrificed his life to defend the country on the border, and you are not afraid of being criticized for saying such nonsense! He just came back from vacation a few days ago. The last time he came back was five years ago. How could he have a child with a female comrade from your team? How can you talk nonsense when you know nothing?"

The gossipy woman was so embarrassed that her face turned red and white. She couldn't get off the stage, but she didn't dare to fight back. If she dared to make up a story about the PLA comrades, she would be in trouble. After a while, she stiffened her neck and said, "That's because Wenwen and Comrade Lu were good friends, and the Xu family looked down on Comrade Lu who was married for the second time, so they broke them up. Otherwise, why are they so anxious to find a partner for Wenwen? And why does the child call Wenwen "Mom"?"

This speculation made sense and everyone nodded.

Someone else took the initiative to continue: "So, Comrade Xiaolu saw Wenwen going on a blind date and instigated his son to mess it up?"

Lu Yuanzheng: "..."

In the past, I fell into the enemy's trap and was besieged to the point of despair, but I didn't feel wronged as I do now.

Xu Wen also felt wronged. What had she done wrong to offend this father and son? She was always the one who suffered when they were in trouble.

Wen Yiming pushed his glasses and found a step for Xu Wen to ask: "Is this your godson?"

Xu asked: "..."

Lu Yuanzheng caught up, forcibly pulled Dongsheng back from Xu Wen's arms, and apologized: "Sorry, my son recognized the wrong person."

Wen Yiming and the other members who were watching the excitement all looked surprised.

"That's what I said! How could such a young and beautiful woman with so many choices fall in love with a divorced widower with a baby?"

"You can't say that. Comrade Xiaolu is an exceptional soldier."

"No matter how outstanding a person is, it has nothing to do with marriage. If it were you, would you be willing to find a second-married woman with a son?"

"Of course not!"

"That's it."

Lu Yuanzheng: "..."

Xu Wen heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Lu Yuanzheng's words had cleared up the misunderstanding.

However, there is still an uncontrollable little Dongsheng.

Dongsheng was still struggling in Lu Yuanzheng's hands. Hearing this, he argued unconvincedly: "I didn't admit my mistake! She was asking Mom!"

Members: “…”

Once again, we looked at each other, then turned back to look at the three of them, confused and curious.

Who is telling the truth?

Then a heated debate ensued around the relationships between the three people, mainly the relationship between Xu Wen and Lu Yuanzheng.

Xu Wen sighed and recalled an interview he had seen in his previous life.

A director said that his biggest headache was shooting scenes with children and animals. This is because no matter whether it is children or animals, they are particularly difficult to control. You can never predict what they will do next, but you know that they will never do what you expect.

The director never lied to me.

Lu Yuanzheng: "..."

Without saying a word, he carried Dongsheng and walked out of the yard.

Xu asked: "..."

Isn't it too late to leave now?

Lu Yuanzheng could not hear her complaints, and disappeared out of the door carrying the crying Dongsheng.

Xu Wen apologized to Wen Yiming with a guilty look on his face: "I'm sorry! I don't know how to explain what happened today. Comrade Lu and I are not familiar with each other, and the child does call me mommy, although I don't know why. I am very sorry for causing you trouble with this matter today!"

Wen Yiming was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

It was not the kind of gentle smile that he usually had on his face. Instead, it looked a little evil, a little wanton, and a little playful.

Qing Piao Piao said: "It's okay, I like your honesty."

Xu Wen was worried about Dongsheng and didn't notice Wen Yiming's smile that didn't match his appearance. When he heard him say it was okay, he apologized again and chased after him.

"etc!"

The journey is long and I stop to look back.

Xu Wen pointed at Dongsheng who was on his shoulder and said, "It has nothing to do with the child. It's not easy to watch a movie. You can take him back to watch it!"

Many children can only watch such a movie once or twice a year.

"Sorry! I'm sorry for causing you trouble." Lu Yuanzheng apologized sincerely.

Xu Wen shook his head, "It doesn't matter."

It's just a blind date, nothing more.

She didn't like it anyway. It was very painful for two strangers to sit together and have an awkward conversation.

Lu Yuanzheng hesitated for a moment. Dongsheng really liked watching movies, so he thanked Xu Wen, "Thank you."

After saying that, he took Dongsheng back.

Xu Wen turned around and saw Wen Yiming chasing after him with two horse whips.

Wen Yiming asked in a gentle voice: "Are you still going to watch the movie?"

Xu Wen hesitated and shook his head: "Sorry."

"It's okay. Then I'll take you home?"

Xu Wen did not refuse, and she couldn't refuse, because Liu Xiu'e was still waiting for her at her house!

Halfway through the walk, I met Xu Wen and Sang Xiaoqing who were there to watch a movie together.

Sang Xiaoqing wondered, "Why did you come back so early? Are there no movies showing today?"

Xu Wen shook his head: "It's still playing."

Xu Wen asked: "Then why did you come back?"

Xu asked: "..."

The reason for coming back has not been compiled yet.

Wen Yiming looked at her and smiled, "Brother, sister-in-law. The brigade yard is too noisy and there are too many mosquitoes. I was just chatting with Wenwen when I remembered that school is about to start and I haven't finished my homework yet."

Xu Wen glanced at Wen Yiming with gratitude, and said to Xu Wen, "I haven't finished my homework either."

Sang Xiaoqing and Xu Wen looked at them suspiciously.

Xu Wen was not used to lying, so he lowered his head.

Wen Yiming remained calm and said, "We are in the same school, so we will have many opportunities to meet each other in the future."

Xu Wen and Sang Xiaoqing looked at each other and realized that there was something going on, so they quickly made way for them.

The young people in the commune all go on blind dates to get married. If they don't agree with the marriage the first time, the parents of both parties will meet again and the marriage will be settled.

This was the case with Xu Wen and Sang Xiaoqing; they had met two or three times before their marriage.

After returning home, Xu Wen still used the same excuse to get away with it temporarily.

Everyone in the family breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this. After seeing Liu Xiu'e off, they went to the movies together and left Xu Wen to do his homework at home.

After a while, Xu Wen was sitting at the table doing his homework when he saw Xu Wen and Sang Xiaoqing hurried in.

Xu Wen's face was gloomier than the rainy day outside. He sent Sang Xiaoqing in, took the wooden stick used to bolt the door from behind, and walked out angrily!

Sang Xiaoqing quickly pulled him, "Where are you going so late?"

Xu Wen had an angry look on his face, but he tried to speak softly to Sang Xiaoqing: "Don't worry about it! Go to bed early if you have nothing to do."

Sang Xiaoqing didn't let go and asked Xu Wen, "Are you going to settle the score with Lu Yuanzheng?"

Xu Wen's heart skipped a beat. It was over! The truth had been revealed.

It's not surprising, the people in the production team who were watching the movie were probably gossiping about her!

She quickly stood up and stood in front of Xu Wen: "Brother, don't be impulsive! It's all a misunderstanding. Didn't I explain everything about Lu Yuanzheng to you that day?"

Xu Wen glared at her, his chest heaving with anger: "Even if Lu saved you once, he can't ruin your reputation again and again! Do you know what the members are saying about you now? I, a grown man, blush when I hear it! You are a pure and innocent girl, but you have multiple sons for no reason. How are you going to find a husband in the future? Which good boy would dare to come to your house and ask for your hand in marriage?"

Xu Wen knew what those people were saying about her, and sighed, "Second brother, you have someone else to talk to, you can say whatever you want, anyway, I didn't do anything shameful."

Xu Wen was so angry that he reached out and tapped Xu Wen's forehead with his index finger: "Silly girl, do you know what it means to be afraid of what people say and to kill people?!"

Sang Xiaoqing also advised him: "Can you solve the problem by going to their house? Besides, Comrade Lu is a soldier. Can you beat him?"

Xu Wen: “…”

Thinking of the humiliation that night, he said angrily, "I can't beat him."

Sang Xiaoqing was both angry and amused, and she forced him to sit down at the table: "Why are you so impulsive? Even if you can beat someone, what's the point of beating someone? This is a matter of reputation, we have to discuss it carefully and come up with a solution!"

Xu Wen calmed down his breathing, pointed at Xu Wen, and asked, "What do you think?"

Xu Wen thought for a moment and said, "There is actually a way!"

"What can we do?"

"I married Lu Yuanzheng."

That will probably shut people up.
