Chapter 95: For He Xu, Shengsheng improved his seniority
I saw his small body carrying a big bag, with nothing in it.
Chen Tang smiled and asked him: "What else do you want to buy? I'll help you. It's great that you know how to buy groceries at such a young age."
Xiao Jiangnan scratched his head shyly: "I'll just buy a fish."
Aunt Tian gave birth to three children, the eldest of whom is eight years old. Together with Uncle Zhao’s parents, the family of seven usually eats vegetables, steamed buns and sweet potatoes, and may not even eat meat for a month.
He paid money to live in Aunt Tian's house, so it was not like he was eating for free. On weekdays, his father would only take out money to buy meat for him when his father came over for dinner, so that others would not gossip about him.
Unfortunately, the pork belly was sold out today, so he had to buy a big fish.
Fish does not require food coupons, is not as expensive as pork, and does not taste very good, but it is still meat. Buying such a big fish is enough for the whole family to eat, so Aunt Tian should not be angry.
"Then let me help you carry it. This fish is quite heavy."
Chen Tang took his bag and led his hand towards the staff quarters. Xiao Jiangnan felt the warmth in her palm and looked up at her.
"What's wrong?"
Chen Tang had a gentle smile on his face. Seeing that the bruises on the child's face had faded a little, he suddenly stopped and touched his forehead: "Does it still hurt?"
Xiao Jiangnan's eyes turned red, and he whispered, "It doesn't hurt anymore."
His stepmother didn't like him, and his father didn't like him either. He always felt that he was the one who killed his mother.
He had never held such a warm hand, as warm as the candy she gave him that day.
He knew that his sister's husband was very cruel and that everything he did seemed to be seen by him, but he still liked his sister very much.
Chen Tang held his forehead and looked at it carefully, thinking that Captain Jiang was too careless. Why didn't he apply medicine to such a serious injury?
"After I send the fish home, come over to my house and I'll apply some medicine on you. Do you have any medicine for the wound on your body? Bring it over and I'll help you apply it."
She rolled up his sleeve and looked at it. The wound on his wrist seemed to have no medicine applied.
Xiao Jiangnan hesitated a little: "Thank you, sister. I won't go. It would be bad if my uncle saw it."
Chen Tang: “Uncle?”
Xiao Jiangnan nodded: "It's my sister's husband."
Chen Tang: “Hahaha…”
Seeing Xiao Jiangnan looking at her in confusion, Chen Tang quickly held back her laughter: "You call me sister, so you should also call him brother."
Xiao Jiangnan didn't understand: "But he looks about the same age as Uncle Zhao."
Shen Tang coughed lightly: “Then you can also call me Aunt Shen.”
Well, it was so hard for her. For He Xu, she had to raise her own seniority.
Not to mention that if he heard it, he would definitely be angry. Thinking of that scene, Chen Tang couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
She thought that Xiao Jiangnan was afraid of He Xu, so she would wait for Sister Tian to come back and tell her directly, and let her help Xiao Jiangnan apply the medicine.
After dinner, when she and He Xu went for a walk, they passed by Tian Xiaotian's house and told Tian Xiaotian about this.
The other party's face froze, and he quickly said, "I thought Jiangnan didn't have many injuries. Captain Jiang is really something. He didn't even tell us about such a big thing."
Chen Tang noticed the unnatural look on her face but didn't point it out.
Xiao Jiangnan was living under someone else's roof, so even though she had paid the money, she was probably still uneasy. She couldn't let Tian Xiaotian lose face, otherwise Xiao Jiangnan would be the one who suffered.
The wind howled in the alley, blowing up dust. The air became increasingly humid, and soon it began to rain.
After Xu Ting was suspended from her job, she had nothing to do and was always running to the city. Today, because she missed the tractor, she could only walk back on her own two feet. She didn't even leave the city when it started raining!
She kicked the tree next to her in annoyance. If she had known she would be so unlucky, she would not have come out today.
Just as I was thinking about it, a bicycle suddenly rode hurriedly in front of me.
The man had a delicate appearance, was about 1.8 meters tall, wore glasses, a white shirt and green military pants, and had a Shanghai brand watch on his wrist. He looked like a mature and steady cadre.
Seeing Xu Ting, he said in surprise: "Comrade Zhang, it's really you."
Xu Ting was also surprised: "Comrade Zhang Tu, why are you here?"
The last time she came to the city, she was almost bullied by gangsters. It was Zhang Tu who saved her out of ignorance, and the two became acquainted because of this.
It was a pity that she didn't know how to contact the other party, so she could only come to the city to try her luck. Unexpectedly, she really met him.
Xu Ting felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey, and there was a hint of shyness on her face.
The hero saves the beauty, which ultimately confuses the girl's heart.
Zhang Tu's eyes flashed with a dark light, and the smile on his face became more sincere: "I came here to do something, and I saw you running under the tree alone, so I followed you to see. I didn't expect it was really you, Comrade Xu. Where are you going? Let me take you there."
Xu Ting subconsciously touched the hair beside her ear, lowered her head and said shyly: "I am from the nearby military art troupe. I am sorry to trouble you this time."
Where she couldn't see, Zhang Tu curled his lips sarcastically.
Along the way, the two exchanged information with each other, and the ambiguous atmosphere kept rising. Xu Ting's heart was beating fast and her cheeks turned red as if they were burning.
In the next few days, Xu Ting always went out early in the morning and came back near the evening.
It just so happened that the eldest son of Commander Tan had a fight at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, which exhausted Xu Mei and Commander Tan and they had no energy to take care of Xu Ting.
Until a month later, Xu Ting was suddenly pushed while walking on the road. She fell heavily on a rock. Instantly, she felt a needle-like pain in her abdomen and a stream of blood soaked her pants.
Everyone present was shocked. Those who had given birth knew that this was a miscarriage!
Chen Tang went to the cafeteria to eat after get off work at noon. He was also surprised to hear Lin Xiao and Li Hong talking about this.
"Who is Xu Ting dating?"
No one in the family compound knew that Xu Ting was dating.
A few days ago, Xu Mei was still introducing blind dates to Xu Ting.
Xu Ting's reputation in the staff quarters was already bad, and she couldn't find a good blind date partner at all. She was able to come to the blind date only because of the face of Commander Tan.
Most of them are people with average looks, average height, and average family background, but they have a job to support their family.
Xu Ting has been on blind dates for so long but hasn't found anyone she likes, so how come she suddenly got pregnant?
Normally, Chen Tang didn't pay much attention to Xu Ting, so he didn't know that she went to the city every day.
"I heard that he was cheated." Li Hong told them secretly.
Getting pregnant before marriage was sensational news in that era, and the nurses and doctors in the hospital also gossiped about it. It was Li Hong’s boyfriend who told her about this.
"When Commander Tan and Aunt Xu knew she had a miscarriage, they immediately asked her to explain everything. But when Commander Tan checked, he found out that the man she was dating used a fake name and his workplace was also fake. The strangest thing was that the man didn't ask for money or people. It seemed like he deliberately seduced Xu Ting and got away immediately after he succeeded."
Chen Tang: "I don't ask for money or people. If the other party knew Xu Ting's identity and dared to deliberately lie like this, the biggest possibility is that he is seeking revenge."
But Xu Ting has offended so many people, and no one knows who is plotting against her.
