Chapter 78 Is this your and Xuchuan’s child?
Only Wen Sining and Lu Jinkun were left on the first floor.
Wen Sining looked at Lu Jinkun and asked him curiously, "How did you suddenly figure it out?"
Lu Jinkun also looked at her.
Today, Wen Sining has truly transformed from a country girl into a city girl.
She was wearing a red woolen coat, her hair was braided into a fishbone braid, and a large intestine flower wreath was tied at the end of her hair.
The whole person looks like a carefully cared-for flower, delicate and beautiful.
"You're right. For grandma's sake, I have to endure it no matter what."
"Then you are quite obedient." Wen Sining muttered softly.
She looked around the entire house. If this small building were placed in modern times, it would be an independent villa.
Being able to live in a villa, could it be that Lu Jinkun’s stepfather is a leader?
When Wen Sining thought of this, he shuddered and didn't dare to think about it anymore.
She remembered her grandmother saying that the benefactor grandfather had never been to Beijing. Could it be that Lu Jinkun had never met his mother in his previous life?
Now that Lu Jinkun has come to Beijing, does it mean that his fate has also changed?
Seeing that the girl next to him suddenly became quiet, Lu Jinkun suddenly asked her.
"Do you think I'm a coward?"
Wen Si Ning came back to his senses, "Cowardly? What do you mean by cowardly? This is your biological mother. How can you be called a coward if you live in her house?"
"If my parents were still alive, I would just stick to them and do nothing."
"My biological mother?" Lu Jinkun sneered: "She has already formed a new family with another man. I am just living under someone else's roof."
Wen Sining asked again, "Where else can you go if you don't live here? You need a letter of introduction to go anywhere these days, not to mention that your grandma's illness can't be delayed."
"Besides, how can living in your own mother's house be considered living under someone else's roof? If you really feel uncomfortable with this, then maybe you can pay for accommodation and living expenses. That might make you feel better."
Wen Sining’s words surprised Lu Jinkun.
"Accommodation? Living expenses?"
Wen Sining nodded, "Just think of it as you paying for staying in the guesthouse."
Because of Wen Sining's words, Lu Jinkun's expression eased a lot.
Duan Ying helped Old Mrs. Lu to the master bedroom on the second floor.
The door of the master bedroom was open, and there was a lot of space inside with a double wooden bed, two bedside tables, and a large wardrobe. The quilt was neatly folded into tofu blocks, and the whole bedroom was clean and tidy.
When Mrs. Lu saw the quilt folded into a tofu-shaped block, a look of joy appeared on her face.
"Is this the quilt Xuchuan made?"
Duan Ying was slightly stunned. Looking at the neatly arranged quilt, she didn't know how to explain.
But soon Mrs. Lu reacted, "Oh, Xiaoying, you said Xuchuan was on a mission, so you made this quilt?"
Duan Ying nodded in agreement, "Yes, this is what Xuchuan taught me."
Mrs. Lu's smile remained unchanged. "I guess so."
As Mrs. Lu spoke, she walked into the room. Seeing a large wardrobe in front of her, she couldn't help but ask, "Can I see Xuchuan's clothes?"
Duan Ying's heart couldn't help but beat fast, but she still responded to Mrs. Lu's request calmly.
Jiang Jishan's figure is similar to Lu Xuchuan's, so Mrs. Lu, who hasn't seen her son for decades, probably wouldn't be able to notice it.
"Sure, Mom, I'll open the closet for you."
As she spoke, Duan Ying opened the wardrobe door. Inside were neatly stacked clothes, and important military uniforms were hung in the wardrobe.
Old Mrs. Lu reached out and touched the badge on her military uniform, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red.
"Is this Xuchuan's military uniform? It's been so many years, I almost forgot what Xuchuan looked like in uniform."
Duan Ying's eyes trembled slightly, and Mrs. Lu's words reminded her of Lu Xuchuan.
There was affection between her and Lu Xuchuan. At the beginning, she was ostracized and misunderstood because of some things. It was Lu Xuchuan who stood in front of her regardless of everything and blocked those rumors for her.
Because she was pregnant, she had to give up her work. Lu Xuchuan was afraid that she would be bored, so he would take the initiative to do all the housework at home every day when he got home, and ride his 28-inch bicycle to take her for a stroll.
At that time, whether it was the military families in the family compound or the colleagues in the hospital, they all envied Duan Ying for finding a good husband.
Duan Ying had to admit that she was indeed lucky. Whether it was Lu Xuchuan or Jiang Jishan, all the men she met were very good to her.
It was also because of this that Duan Ying took care of Old Mrs. Lu as her own mother from the bottom of her heart.
"Mom, Xuchuan looks great in his military uniform."
Mrs. Lu nodded and smiled with relief: "Yes, my son looks good in anything he wears. When Xuchuan comes back, I will be able to see him."
After Jiang Jishan ate the lunch that his wife had specially sent him, he was still savoring it all afternoon.
He learned that his daughter-in-law, eldest son and old lady had moved into the house today, so he called home.
After the aunt at home received a call from the leader, she quickly called Duan Ying.
When Duan Ying picked up the phone, she heard Jiang Jishan's concerned voice on the other end of the line.
"How's it going? Are you alright today?"
"Well, A-Kun and his grandmother have moved in. For the time being, you have to live outside with Cheng Cheng."
Jiang Jishan smiled helplessly, "I have no problem, but Jiang Youcheng, that brat, I haven't seen you for a long time, I think he will make trouble with me."
Duan Ying felt very guilty, as on one side were her husband and younger son, and on the other side were her mother-in-law and older son.
However, Jiang Jishan did not make things difficult for her, and he continued.
"Take good care of yourself during this time, and be sure to tell me if you encounter any difficulties."
"Yes, I will. By the way, is today's lunch delicious?"
Speaking of lunch, Jiang Jishan suddenly became interested. He asked, "This tastes much better than the food in the cafeteria. Was it made by the aunt at home?"
But then he thought it was impossible. Jiang Jishan could taste the flavor of his aunt's cooking. The meals at home were relatively light, but the meal at noon today was fragrant and tasty.
"It's made by the new medical assistant's sister-in-law. I plan to invite her to my house to help cook dinner. I'll make some and bring it over to you and Cheng Cheng."
"Great, with these skills, you can become a chef in a state-owned restaurant."
Duan Ying chatted with Jiang Jishan for quite a while. If Duan Ying hadn't hung up the phone forcefully, Jiang Jishan would probably have talked to her for the entire day.
After hanging up the phone, Duan Ying looked helpless. She was already over fifty years old, why was she still as clingy as a child?
Because it was a sudden decision to let Jiang Jishan and Jiang Youcheng move out, some of their spare clothes had not been taken away.
Duan Ying packed up and prepared to take the clothes to Jiang Jishan.
Jiang Youcheng actually ran back home!
He was facing Mrs. Lu who was sitting in the living room.
Old Mrs. Lu looked at the little guy at the door with a puzzled look on her face. "Are you the kid who was with Si Ning last time? Who are you looking for?"
When Jiang Youcheng saw Old Lady Lu, he was also confused, "Grandma, why are you here?"
As luck would have it, Jiang Jishan was called away for an emergency meeting, so he specially asked someone to pick up Jiang Youcheng from school.
But who could have thought that Jiang Youcheng sneaked back home early and saw this scene.
Duan Ying, who had just finished packing upstairs, was also hurriedly called downstairs by her aunt.
When he saw Duan Ying, Jiang Youcheng called her "Mom" in a clear voice.
"Mom, do we have guests?"
Old Mrs. Lu stared at Jiang Youcheng again and again, and heard Jiang Youcheng calling Duan Ying "Mom".
She asked Duan Ying with joy, "Xiaoying, is this your and Xuchuan's child?"
Jiang Youcheng frowned and was about to ask who was Xuchuan, but was interrupted by Duan Ying when he opened his mouth.
"Chengcheng, go back to your room first. Mom will talk to you later."
Even though Jiang Youcheng had doubts, he still listened to Duan Ying and went upstairs back to his room obediently.
Old Mrs. Lu followed Jiang Youcheng with her eyes until his back disappeared from her sight.
She murmured to herself, "Looks like, this child looks exactly like Xuchuan when he was a child. He is Xuchuan's child."
After hearing what Old Lady Lu said, Duan Ying was completely stunned.
Only she knew that Jiang Youcheng didn't look like Lu Xuchuan at all, so why did Old Lady Lu think they looked alike?
Could it be that in Old Mrs. Lu’s memory, she has already forgotten what Lu Xuchuan looks like?
But before Duan Ying could think about it, Mrs. Lu asked her again: "Xiaoying, what is the name of this child?"
"Youcheng, may your journey through life be safe and smooth."
"Youcheng? It sounds nice. It's a really good name." As Mrs. Lu spoke, the smile on her face grew deeper and deeper.
"I've seen this child before, and at that time, I thought he looked very familiar. I didn't expect that he would be your and Xuchuan's child. This must be fate."
Duan Ying tentatively asked Mrs. Lu, "Mom, do you still remember what Xuchuan looked like?"
Old Mrs. Lu paused obviously. She pondered for a long time, then suddenly frowned, her expression looking very strange.
"What did Xuchuan look like? I can't remember it." Old Mrs. Lu's face became worse and worse. She couldn't help but raise her hands and slap her head hard.
"I'm Xuchuan's biological mother. How could I not remember my son? What does Xuchuan look like? Xiaoying, tell me, show me a photo of Xuchuan. My son, what does he look like?"
Seeing the situation gradually getting out of control and Mrs. Lu on the verge of collapse, Duan Ying couldn't bear it and she tried her best to comfort Mrs. Lu.
"Mom, don't be excited. I'll get the photos for you right away. Relax and don't be excited!" She gently patted Mrs. Lu's back to calm her down.
Finally, Mrs. Lu's emotions gradually calmed down, and Duan Ying breathed a sigh of relief. Under Mrs. Lu's expectant gaze, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and take a gamble.
She asked her aunt to go to the drawer in the master bedroom and take down the family photo.
The aunt handed the photo to Duan Ying nervously.
As soon as the photo fell into Duan Ying's hands, it was snatched away by Old Mrs. Lu.
When she saw the family of three in the photo, Mrs. Lu stared at the photo and didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
Duan Ying's heart was in her throat, and she looked carefully at Old Lady Lu's expression.
After looking for a long time, Mrs. Lu finally moved her gaze away from the photo and fell on Duan Ying's face.
She asked slowly.
