Second Marriage in the 1970s - Chapter 40

As the rumors said, Old Lady Lu was lying on the bed at the moment, swearing at Li Caifeng in front of her.

“This shameless **** has lost all of our Lu family’s face, so I want a man, ah, when I see a man, I will rush up, naked in that mud house. thing.”

There was no trace of humiliation on Li Caifeng’s face, but instead smiled and said,

“Why am I shameless? If you keep your son alive and be a widow, you will have a face? I’m not as good as you want. If you have the ability, you can ask your son to divorce me. It depends on your Lu family’s future face.”

Li Caifeng is not the kindness of the original owner. It is impossible for her to cover up for Lu Chengyuan. Thank God without telling the world.

Old Lady Lu swept the things on the bedside table to the ground and yelled, “Go away, you get out of here, you little prostitute, this rotten little bitch.”

Li Caifeng didn’t care about her, she liked to throw things away. Anyway, she didn’t buy it by herself.

“Since you let me go, then I will go. In the future, when you see who I am going to go with, you will just open your eyes and close your eyes. Don’t block yourself.”

Naturally, her meaning to roll is different from that of Old Lady Lu, who heard her face reddened and almost had a stroke of anger.

Outside the door, Lu Chengyuan was sitting on the bench and holding his head, the magic sound in his ears made him breathless.

His mother’s verbal abuse, his wife’s ridicule, and the sneers mixed with guilt made him feel that he was just an animal being watched by people, without dignity.

After Li Caifeng and Old Lady Lu came out of the house, passing by Lu Chengyuan, she gave him a disdainful glance.

Although she did sorry for him, Lu Chengyuan was a fool in her eyes, let alone how the Lu family had opinions on her, to be honest, she didn’t want to stay in this family anymore, waiting for her to find someone willing to marry her. Man, she is about to divorce Lu Chengyuan and start a new life.

I heard that Lu Chengyuan’s ex-wife is doing pretty well now. Look, it’s a good thing for women to leave this kind of ugly and careless man.

*****

In the past few days, the family has been in a mess. Lu Chengyuan has suffered unprecedented mental stress. He is almost on the verge of collapse. He doesn’t want to go out, don’t want to face the strange eyes of others, and even feel that the eyes of his parents have become weird when they look at him. The appearance of wanting to say something and being afraid of hurting him made Lu Chengyuan feel flustered and confused.

On this day, he walked aimlessly out of the entrance of the village and found himself walking in the direction of Shanghe Village.

For many sleepless nights, he often thought of his ex-wife Jiahui, and more than once analyzed his life full of regrets, thinking that the biggest mistake in his life was divorcing Jiahui.

At this moment, he suddenly had an urge to meet Jiahui.

“Donglin, the autumn harvest in our village is over, and the wheat is planted. The commune informs you to submit an autumn harvest summary report next week. I think you should prepare this report?”

Zhao Donglin is a grass-roots staff member arranged by the commune to the village. It is a bit of supervision. The village chief is a smart person. Since everyone knows, there is nothing to hide, so he can simply express his position and leave the report to you. , If something goes wrong, you have to recite it with me.

Zhao Donglin was not stupid either. The village chief understood this meaning as soon as he spoke. He smiled, without showing any refusal.

“Well, I will write out the report as soon as possible in these two days.”

When Lu Chengyuan arrived at the intersection of Shanghe Village, Zhao Donglin happened to be walking on the road with the village chief Xu Haiming on a bicycle. Lu Chengyuan didn’t know Zhao Donglin. After all, Zhao Donglin went to the army when he was a teenager, but Zhao Donglin knew Lu Chengyuan for the first time in the town. Jiahui, she was stopped by Lu Chengyuan’s new wife, who was there at the time.

Zhao Donglin looked back when he passed Lu Chengyuan, frowning slightly.

“Okay, so be it, I’ll go first, and I’ll talk to the village tomorrow.”

Zhao Donglin replied, “Okay, don’t worry.”

Zhao Donglin did not leave directly, but parked his car behind a tree on the side of the road, wanting to see what Lu Chengyuan was going to do.

Lu Chengyuan knew that Dong Jiahui was married to the second team of Shanghe Village, but he didn’t know the Zhao family and was difficult to ask people. So he looked at the entrance of the village and wanted to wait for the person in his heart. It’s a pity that Dong Jiahui is making clothes at home at this time. Hang around at the entrance of the village.

Just as Lu Chengyuan was trying to wear his eyes, someone patted him on the shoulder. He turned his head back in shock and saw a tall man wearing a military green jacket standing behind him.

“Comrade, I think you have been standing here for a long time. Are you looking for someone or have some bad intentions.”

Lu Chengyuan’s nature is a counselor, he would be afraid if he didn’t do bad things, not to mention that he was even more guilty when he was doing bad things.

“I…I, what I didn’t do, I just wanted to find someone.”

Zhao Donglin lowered his eyes and asked calmly, “Oh, looking for someone? Who do you look for?”

“good……”

Just as Jiahui was about to say the words, Lu Chengyuan suddenly thought of something and closed his mouth tightly.

“It’s okay. Don’t hang around at the entrance of the village. Recently, someone in the village reported that there was something missing in the house. I have reason to suspect that you did it.”

“No, no, I’m here for the first time.”

Lu Chengyuan clapped his hands again and again, really afraid that this stalwart and tall man would arrest him as a thief.

“No, just leave. If I don’t leave, I’ll let the dog bite.”

Lu Chengyuan gritted his teeth and looked back at the winding road. On the other side of the road, he looked like Jiahui smiling like a flower. He felt uncomfortable for a moment. He glanced at Zhao Donglin, who was staring at him, and walked away three times.

Zhao Donglin watched the spot for a long while, until Lu Chengyuan turned the corner and stepped on the road to Xiaoling Village before stepping on his bicycle and leaving.

When I got home and went into the yard, some children in the family were kicking the shuttlecock in the yard, laughing so much.

Shuttlecocks are made of cloth wrapped with coins and chicken feathers inserted. In addition to shuttlecocks, Jiahui also sewed sandbags for them, which is a small round bag filled with sand, to throw black eggs and rocks for fun.

Ying Bao first saw Zhao Donglin coming in, she ran over with her short legs, spreading her hands to ask Zhao Donglin to hug Ying Bao, Zhao Donglin bent down and hugged Ying Bao and gave her a scent on her face.

“what are you doing?”

Yingbao raised the shuttlecock in her hand. She was still young and had poor coordination skills, so she could only play with the black eggs, but Jiahui didn’t bully her, so she made a shuttlecock for her and picked a few specially. The best-looking feathers on the rooster’s tail are put on. Ying Bao likes it very much. He holds it in his hand all the time, and throws it away if he doesn’t kick it.

“Kick the shuttlecock?”

Yingbao’s little chicken nodded like a peck of rice, looked at Zhao Donglin with black grape-like eyes, and his heart melted.

The black egg sees his father holding his sister, and from the bottom of his heart he wants to be close to his father like a sister, but this desire, childlike nature is suppressed by another emotion, making him only look at it from a distance and dare not go forward. step.

Jiahui is making clothes in the house. Last time she went back to her family’s house to pick up a few orders, as well as her own family’s clothes and quilts. Time is too short, and she hardly does anything else every day.

When Zhao Donglin entered the room, Jiahui only looked up and said, “I’m back?”

“Yep.”

He put down Enbon, took the kerosene lamp on the cupboard and lit it, and said, “It’s going to be late. You have to light up the lamp.”

He also supports his daughter-in-law with a small career, but it is totally worthless if he breaks his eyes just to make some money.

Sometimes he also thinks, if he is not the eldest son, instead of staying with his parents and younger brothers, and with a salary of more than 60 yuan a month, why should she keep her head down to make clothes every day for ten days, but only ten yuan? Money income.

But there is no such thing in this world, and he is the eldest son. Even if he feels bad for his wife, he still has to take on the responsibility of a son and an elder brother.

Jiahui heard his care disguised as blame, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, her hands and feet continued to move, her mouth was not idle.

“Know, so fascinated, forgot the time.”

Zhao Donglin sighed, “Okay, let’s rest for a while, and do less work if you don’t have time to do it.”

Dong Jiahui reluctantly agreed.

After eating and sleeping, Yingbao still sleeps with Meixiang. Jiahui mentioned that Yingbao should be taken with him, but Meixiang refused.

“Sister-in-law, let Yingbao sleep with me. She is so good and not disturbing at all. She can hold her to warm her hands in winter.”

Actually, that’s the reason, but Zhang Qiaoer told her daughter how busy Jiahui was at home. Now that Jiahui is busy with the things she is doing, Yingbao can’t take care of her. Besides, she is still looking forward to Jiahui. Hui gave birth to her a grandson, and it is always inconvenient to sleep with Yingbao.

After taking a bath, Dong Jiahui wiped her face in the mirror. She insisted on washing her face with rice water and brought Meixiang along. Meixiang didn’t believe it could turn white, but after a month of washing, people said that her skin became white and thinner. , I only believed what my sister-in-law said, so I don’t need Jiahui to say that every day I carefully save the rice water that I had used for the first time.

Zhao Donglin took a bath and saw his wife touching her face in the mirror. He brought the jar of Yashuang to her when he went to the town for a meeting. She was happy when she took it.

Zhao Donglin wanted very fiercely that night. He simply showed his momentum of doing hundreds of push-ups in the army. Dong Jiahui almost couldn’t stand it, holding his waist and begging for mercy.

But she was afraid that others would hear her, her voice was small and soft, soft and delicate, and she was even more turbulent in his ears, not restrained, but even crazier.

“You are mine, say, you are mine.”

Jiahui felt uncomfortable and wanted to cry, so she didn’t want to listen to what he said.

Without hearing Jiahui’s answer, Zhao Donglin rushed forward.

The next day Jiahui got up to support her waist, and angrily twisted Zhao Donglin’s waist.

“I’ll be angry next time you do this.”

Zhao Donglin curled the corners of his lips and occasionally indulged. It was really good.

Time soon entered the twelfth lunar month, the sky was cold and the ground was freezing, the farmers stopped all work activities in the field, and every family began to get busy for the New Year.

Making steamed buns, making rice cakes, grinding tofu, and cleaning. Although there is no need to go to work, there is more and more work at home.

In the past two months, Dong Jiahui also made more than 30 yuan by relying on the craftsmanship of making clothes. In addition to helping others to make clothes, her family’s clothes were also quickly finished. Therefore, the whole family except Zheng Yuefen was very satisfied.

“Kill the pig, kill the pig, come and see the pig.”

Early in the morning, everyone was busy at home, and the children started happily running and telling each other that killing the New Year pig is the fastest thing in the year, which means there is meat to eat.
