892: Looking forward to the baby
When Yu Jiahui heard that there was a letter for him, he jumped up from the stool, went back to the house, got the stamp, and rushed to the postman.
Xu Ying ran over without saying a word, and while Yu Jiahui was stamping the list, he took the letter in his hand. Upon closer inspection, he saw that it was indeed a letter from Lao Pu from Beidahuang.
Xu Ying was so excited that he put the letter in his arms and said to everyone in the courtyard:
"I'm sorry, everyone. I have something else to do. I'll go inside and take care of it. Please sit down!"
Everyone was not the kind of person who would stick around to listen. After listening to Xu Ying's story, their curiosity was satisfied and many of them got up and left.
Only the neighbors on the left and right sides of the house remained.
Xu Ying ignored them and went into the house with the letter.
Soon, Yu Jiahui and Yu Xiaoye, father and daughter, followed in:
"Is this written by Lao Pu? Open it and take a look. I think Widow Wang gave birth. Let's see what she gave birth to!"
Xu Ying saw Yu Jiahui's anxious look and couldn't help but tease him:
"If someone didn't know, they would think your baby was born. Look how anxious you are."
Xu Ying also hurriedly opened the envelope and unfolded the letter paper, on which was written Lao Pu's clumsy and simple handwriting.
Three heads gathered together to read the letter:
"Oh, it's really born!"
"It's a girl!"
"Sai Jinhua named her Baoya. Listen to this name. Sai Jinhua and her husband must have loved this child like their precious baby."
"Isn't it? At an age of almost sixty, finally becoming a parent, how can I not love them?"
The family read the letter and whispered to each other. Between the lines, one could feel the joy of Old Pu having a daughter in his old age.
When the old couple held their child, their mouths must have been crooked with smiles.
Xu Ying couldn't help but burst into tears watching this. She was happy for Lao Pu and Sai Jinhua, but also felt sorry for Widow Wang, and was moved by the arrival of this little girl. Her heart was filled with mixed emotions.
After reading it, I couldn’t help but complain:
"This old Pu, why didn't he say who the child looks like? He only said he weighed 18 pounds, but didn't say who he looked like."
Yu Jiahui muttered:
"Who does he look like? Girls usually look like their fathers. This child probably looks like Hong Cheng."
Xu Ying sighed:
"If this person is like Hong Cheng, and he is brought back to the old company, everyone will know what's going on at a glance, and there will be no way to hide it."
"If you can't hide it, then you can't hide it. It's hard to hide this kind of thing forever. This girl must know that she is not her biological child - Bah, I am really talking nonsense. People of Lao Pu and Sai Jinhua's age, even a blind person can see that this child is not theirs."
Yu Xiaoye smiled and said:
"Anyway, Uncle Pu and Aunt Jinhua finally have something to look forward to."
When Xu Ying heard this, she suddenly remembered something, put away the letter, and turned to look at her daughter:
"What about you?"
"Me? What's wrong with me?" Yu Xiaoye was confused by the question.
Xu Ying said seriously:
"After Xiao Zhou's injury, I think you two should have a baby as soon as possible."
Xu Ying didn't dare to say it. Even if anything happened, at least she had a biological child.
Zhou Ziheng was lucky this time and the bullet didn't hit the vital parts. If it had hit the vital parts, I dare not think about it.
Xu Ying was a little scared by this incident, so she thought it would be safer for the young couple to have a child as soon as possible.
Yu Xiaoye said shyly:
"He was injured recently and lost a lot of blood. I'm worried he might be anemic and needs more recovery."
"Then give him some good nourishment, and you should also give him some."
"-Oh, I understand." Yu Xiaoye agreed obediently, and felt that having a baby should be put on the agenda. She herself was also looking forward to the baby.
Just as I said this, I suddenly heard someone outside shouting:
"Old Yu, Old Yu, someone's looking for you!"
“Here I come!”
Yu Jiahui agreed in the house, guessing that it might be someone from the factory who came to see him. With such a sensational thing happening at home, it was very likely that someone from the factory would come to express their condolences (or gossip).
Yu Jiahui didn't think much of it and walked out of the inner room. He saw the person had already entered. Yu Jiahui was dumbfounded.
"Jiahui."
Yu Jiahui secretly yelled in his heart: "Hong Cheng?!"
This shout scared the mother and daughter in the house again.
Xu Ying hurried to the door to see, and Yu Xiaoye followed closely.
Oh my god, it’s really Hong Cheng!
No one expected that Hong Cheng would come.
Yu Xiaoye suddenly saw the letter written by Lao Pu still in Xu Ying's hand. She remembered what Widow Wang said and didn't want Hong Cheng to know about this. So Yu Xiaoye snatched the letter from Xu Ying's hand, put it behind her back, folded it secretly and put it in her pocket, and shouted with a smile:
"Teacher Hong, why are you here?"
Today's Hong Cheng is no longer the dusty Hong Cheng from the past in the Great Northern Wilderness. He now wears a clean and neat Zhongshan suit, his gray hair is combed sleekly, he has gained some weight, his cheeks are fuller, and he looks very graceful and wealthy. He really looks like a cultural celebrity. No, he is a cultural celebrity.
It is said that after he overturned the verdict, he returned to the provincial capital and quickly became a famous figure in the province. He joined the Provincial Department of Culture and became the president of an art association. He was given many titles and halos.
Red energy nourishes people. Hong Cheng now looks full of energy and is no longer the bad element who was undergoing labor reform in the Great Northern Wilderness.
No wonder Widow Wang doesn’t dare to have any more fantasies. Anyone else would feel ashamed of themselves.
Hong Cheng looked at Yu Xiaoye's action of hiding the letter, without any doubt, and said with a smile:
"Xiao Ye has become more and more beautiful in recent years."
Yu Xiaoye laughed and walked out of the inner room:
"Come, Mr. Hong, please sit down. I'll pour you some tea."
Yu Jiahui and Xu Ying looked at each other and finally came to their senses.
Xu Ying secretly winked at Yu Jiahui, and Yu Jiahui understood. Xu Ying meant that Widow Wang had said that she didn't want Hong Cheng to know that he had an illegitimate daughter in the Great Northern Wilderness. Since she had promised Widow Wang, she must tell him.
We must do our best to not let Hong Cheng know about this no matter what.
But Xu Ying was unwilling to accept it. She was afraid that she would accidentally reveal the secret when facing Hong Cheng, so she walked out and said:
"You sit down, I'll go get some tea."
Xu Ying found an excuse to go out.
When I came to the kitchen, I couldn't help but sigh.
Why!
If she hadn't known that Hong Cheng and Widow Wang had a child, she would have warmly welcomed Hong Cheng who came from afar.
Now that we know the secret, we can't pretend nothing happened.
Xu Ying couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart, but Yu Jiahui and Yu Xiaoye handled it well. They sat in the house with Hong Cheng and chatted.
Hong Cheng learned about their family's experiences in the past few days from the newspaper and asked with concern:
"How's that case going? It's Li Xinchun's case. I saw it in the newspaper."
"We've already caught the man, so we dare to go home. Otherwise, how would we dare to come back?"
"It's good that they caught me. I didn't expect something like this to happen. How's Director Zhou? Is he okay?"
"He's fine too."
"I'm glad everything is alright."
Yu Xiaoye asked:
"Teacher Hong, how come you have time to come to the capital?"
"I came to Beijing to attend a literary and artistic exchange meeting, and happened to come to see you. By the way, where is the second brother?"
Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear.
Before he finished speaking, Yu Erye came in from outside. Hearing that Hong Cheng had arrived, he brought his wife Cuihua into the house:
"Teacher Hong!!"
