"He has a 100-square-meter house on the outskirts of Qilin City, he is 41 years old this year, and his daughter is in her first year of high school this year."

As soon as Lu Baozhi finished speaking, it was quiet for a long time, and he only heard the sound of Li Chenli washing and cleaning the dishes in the kitchen.

"What else? Qinghe's questions, you answer them to me one by one. ”

Lu Qiang didn't know where to take out a pack of white sand cigarettes, and was about to look for a lighter, when he found that Xiaomeng and Qinghe's eyes were staring at the cigarette fiercely.

Obvious warning: Dad, you are not allowed to smoke!

Lu Qiang took a cigarette out of the box, smelled the cigarette, and the air around him was a little looser.

"Well, the eldest sister didn't answer the question of the fourth child." Xiaomeng also looked at his father's eyes, and obediently ran to get a tissue for the eldest sister.

In fact, Xiaomeng was startled when she saw her eldest sister crying silently.

Pushed Xiao Si, but there was no response.

Xiaomeng looked up again and saw the second sister shaking her head at herself, and then looked at the darkness on her father's face.

I know that there is really something going on at home today.

Lu Qiang was stabbed by the tears of his eldest daughter, and even became annoyed, put the cigarette back into the cigarette case, his tone slowed down, and his anger was also contained: "Okay, you have to say something, if you don't say it, I can't help it as a father." ”

Lu Qiang's words were full of helplessness and distress, and Lu Qinghe, Lu Baozhi and Lu Yunzhi all heard that their father was showing weakness to his eldest sister.

"I know you like him a lot. But if you don't confess to us, how can I trust my daughter to him? How he behaved today, you as his girlfriend, can't you tell? You're the boss of the family, can't you set an example? You don't say anything, you can't let me, a father, see you suffer and don't remind you not to say anything? ”

This is the first time Lu Qiang has said such a long sentence to his eldest daughter.

Usually, this kind of long sentence usually appears in the chat between Lu Qiang and Lu Qinghe. Chatting with the other four daughters, Lu Qiang was short and concise.

"I love him so much."

For a long time, Lu Baozhi only cried and said these four words.

There was still silence.

"Eldest sister, when did he get divorced? Did I tell you when I was going to marry you? Teacher Zhang's age is not young, and you are still young, after getting married, it is not bad to have a child between the two of you as soon as possible. ”

Lu Qinghe also sighed in his heart and spoke softly.

Escaping is not the way to go.

Lu Qinghe really saw it now, Zhang Chunhui and the eldest sister really had a problem. The eldest sister never lied in front of her father, and she was not a person who could lie. Therefore, in the series of questions she just asked, the eldest sister chose to avoid it.

It's just that the eldest sister's attitude will only make my father more serious about his speculation.

"He, he said"

When Lu Baozhi said this, he seemed to think of something more uncomfortable and cried.

Lu Qinghe asked, "Eldest sister, you really don't have to worry. Whatever he says, you just tell us the truth. What's the problem, one person counts short, three people count long. ”

How could I have thought that the eldest sister's straightforward words were simply a thunderbolt, splitting them into confusion.

"He said that as soon as I gave birth to a son in a few months, he would marry me immediately. He will definitely divorce his wife next month, and he is willing to work as an accountant at our computer school in the future, but he can only work part-time, and he still works as a university teacher. ”

Lu Qiang was directly shocked by his eldest daughter's words, and he didn't know that he was playing with the cigarette case in his hand.

Lu Yunzhi's eyes widened, and he was a little overwhelmed with surprise.

Xiao Meng didn't know why, so he helped Lu Qiang pick up the cigarettes, and was called by Lu Qiang to go to the kitchen to get matches.

Lu Qinghe's reaction was directly stunned and stood up, tears fell out even more, and asked the eldest sister: "What do you mean, he hasn't divorced yet, and you are pregnant now?" Eldest sister, do you want to nod the last five words of your face, Lu Qinghe didn't shout out without his brain like in his previous life.

Lu Yunzhi came over to support the trembling Lu Qinghe, and hurriedly patted his back to comfort: "Little Si, don't get excited, don't get excited, be good, don't cry, don't cry." ”

No one expected that Lu Yunyi comforted him, and Lu Qinghe cried directly, and cried miserably.

Lu Qinghe never thought that the eldest sister would follow the old path of her previous life, even if it was not exactly the same, it was almost the same. actually became someone else's junior, destroyed other people's families, and became pregnant

Zhang Chunhui's performance today, not to mention that Lu Qiang can't look down on it, even if no one in the whole family can look at it.

Now that the eldest sister confesses so truthfully, Lu Qinghe blames herself, feeling guilty and distressed.

"What's wrong?"

Li Chenli walked out wearing an apron, crying so aggrieved and uncomfortable, it was the first time she saw Lu Qinghe crying.

Xiaomeng also ran over with a match and hugged Lu Qinghe's thigh: "Little four, what's wrong with you?" Where's the discomfort? Are you sick? ”

Xiaomeng knows that even if Xiaosi is sick and uncomfortable, he won't cry.

"I'm sorry, Xiaosi, I'm sorry, I really like him too much, I didn't know he had a wife and children at first. After I knew, I thought about breaking up with him, but, but, I just couldn't bear it. Now that I'm more than three months pregnant, I really don't know what to do. ”

Lu Baozhi was also uncomfortable and ashamed, and Xiao Si felt sorry for himself; She didn't listen to Xiao Si's reminder in Suoyang City before, and blindly rushed forward.

But when she really heard that Zhang Chunhui was willing to follow her back to Lingu Village, Lu Baozhi decided to give Zhang Chunhui this son. It's just that she didn't expect Zhang Chunhui to be such a failure in her own family, and she didn't expect her father's opposition to be so strong.

Don't have to wait for yourself to speak, Dad and Xiaosi seem to have discovered something.

Looking at Xiao Si who couldn't cry anymore, Lu Baozhi suddenly didn't know what to do.

She couldn't help but ask herself, is it wrong?

She is just reluctant to let Zhang Chunhui be so good and gentle to herself.

"What to do? When he sobered up, I personally sent him away. You come with me to the county seat tomorrow, this kid can't stay. Lu Qiang lit the match several times before lighting the cigarette, looked at Qinghe, who was crying in the arms of his second daughter, and finally threw the lit cigarette on the ground and stepped on it a few times.

"This matter has been decided, I can't let my daughter do such an immoral thing." Throwing down a sentence and instructing Lu Yunzhi a few more words, Lu Qiang walked out.

The direction is by the Xijiang River.

Lu Baozhi's own emotions were also a little out of control, but he was still worried about Lu Qinghe.

accompanied Lu Yunzhi and Xiaomeng to send Lu Qinghe to the second floor, and she stayed alone, which was Lu Qinghe's request.

"Second sister, is the fourth child really okay?"

Xiaomeng pestered the second sister to ask, but the second sister's face was not very good, she didn't answer herself, went back to the second sister's room, and closed the door. Xiaomeng had no choice but to follow downstairs and find Li Chenli.

"Grandma, is Dad really angry with the eldest sister? And the little four, were you scared by the eldest sister? ”

Li Chenli sighed, took off her apron, cleaned her hands with dish soap, took Xiaomeng's fat hand, and walked out of the door: "Xiaomeng, you must obediently listen to your father's words in the future, do you know?" I can't learn from your eldest sister, alas. Li Chenli taught Xiaomeng a lot of the principles of being a man, but she couldn't explain Lu Baozhi's things to Xiaomeng.

Instead, Lu Xiaomeng went back to his home, gave Xiaomeng a bottle of milk, closed the door with Lu Guan, and discussed something.

――――――

"Did you hear that? Those who came this morning were sent away by Qiangzi himself. It seems that he really wants to be the boyfriend who is not satisfied with Bao's choice. ”

"I think it's good to send it away, I'm so old, I dare to come to our Lingu Village to eat tender grass, it's too shameful."

"Alas, what are you talking about, maybe it is that other people in the city look down on us rural people. Lu Bao said that others are university teachers in Qilin City, with a house, a car, and money. It's normal for such a person to look down on Lu Baozhi. ”

"What the hell are you talking about, the boss of Xiaoqiang's family is such a good girl, how can she be worthy of such a person. I am a teenager older, and I can't even look down on an old woman like this when she gives me this kind of woman. ”

"What about the other one? What about the second boyfriend, did you send it away? Did Brother Qiang call someone to help deliver it? Didn't you see what happened when? ”

"Just because you didn't see it doesn't mean it didn't happen, but it's just three or four o'clock in the afternoon. Many people have seen it, and it is not quite right to see Ah Qiang's face from a distance, but if you are not satisfied, you are not satisfied, a college student like Baozhi, looking for a good man, is it still easy to find ruthless? ”

"It's so late, why doesn't Lu Qiang leave anyone for dinner before leaving? Will this make outsiders think that our Lingu Village is not hospitable? ”

"Bah, you're really worried about pickles and turnips. I'm not satisfied, so who can I barely do to show face? It's you who feel uncomfortable too. But then again, tonight's bacon, Brother Qiang's family, can you still accept it? Fragrant firewood, my family has never been willing to burn, just waiting to be used to smoke bacon. ”

"I must accept it, I asked the village chief a few days ago, and the village chief said that he would shout the radio in the next few days. How many pigs do you keep at home to make bacon? I don't know if this year's bacon will increase the price for us. ”

"It's hard to say, but last year, someone sold the dead female pork as good meat to the village chief. This year, that person shouldn't be accepted, right? ”

Slowly, everyone went from caring about Lu Baozhi's boyfriend being sent away by Lu Qiang himself, and transferred to the supermarket where Lu Qiang's family and Zhang Yimei collected their own bacon from the beginning of the previous year. In the first year, that is, the casual scattering, and in the second year, that is, last year, the village chief began to give a series of methods and steps.

This year, Lingu Village has also started to prepare for a long time.

Because every year before New Year's Day, the finished bacon must be sent out for sale. Lingu Village doesn't know where to sell it, but the bacon they make sells at a much higher price than fresh pork. Fresh pork is six or seven pieces a catty.

But the bacon they sold to Lu Qiang's family reached ten yuan a catty, and if the pigs were raised by their own family, the cost would be even lower. For two consecutive years, the money earned from the sale of bacon alone was more than the income of others working in factories outside for half a year. It's just that it's more troublesome to make this bacon.

First of all, the incense branches, it is not so easy to find.

The incense trees on the barren riverbed on the Xijiang River all belong to Lu Qiang's family, and if you want to say smoked bacon, of course, it is the wood of the fragrant tree. However, you can't cut the one by the river, you can only cut that kind of twig. The same is true on the riverbed of Lu Qinghe's house, the village chief has already given an order, it has become private, and only small branches can be chopped, and big trees will have to be fined a lot of money if they dare to cut them.

That fragrant branch is used to smoke bacon a lot every year, how did it come from?

Then we can only wait for the small fragrant trees that grow in the riverbed every spring, and do not cut them down. When the leaves begin to fall in September, you can cut them or pick up the dry branches that have fallen from the big incense tree in advance and save them. There are also people who go directly to the riverside along the Xijiang River and the riverside of other villages to cut incense branches and transport them back for storage.

And the weight of each piece of smoked bacon is about the same, in short, it is the same as raising pigs, which requires considerable care. After smoking, the bacon is easy to get old, and the taste is much worse than usual, and the price is lower.

"In short, you can't cheat, the village chief also said that this year, only our Lingu Village will be accepted, and those from other villages will not be accepted first. Alas, I remembered that the person who took the dead female pork was from Qingyuan Village. ”

The people of Lingu Village also stopped talking about those gossips, and began to pay attention to the radio in the village and the actions of the cadres in the village. So I didn't know that on the second day of the National Day, Lu Baozhi was sent by Lu Qiang and Lu Qinghe to the women's and children's hospital in the county town for abortion.

didn't know that in the afternoon of the same day, Lu Baozhi was sent to Zhang Yimei by a car chartered by Lu Qiang.

Lu Qiang left, and Lu Qinghe couldn't see the eldest sister's miserable face, so he ran to Jingyuanshui's Internet café. After staying in the Internet café for a few minutes, she walked to the phone and called her godfather, who was having a meeting in Qilin City, to complain, crying about her grievances, and by the way, asking her godfather to help her and find out Zhang Chunhui.

――――――

"Okay, don't think about anything, don't get out of bed these days, tell me something." Zhang Yimei heard the general story from Lu Qiang, and did not scold Lu Baozhi, but came in from Lu Baozhi and lay on the bed. Zhang Yimei didn't show Lu Baozhi's face, but took care of it very carefully and advised.

It's not that Zhang Yimei doesn't feel distressed, but she knows what Lu Baozhi needs most at this time.

She has experienced it herself, how can she not understand?

Lu Baozhi nodded obediently, but the tears in the corners of his eyes couldn't stop falling.

Zhang Yimei shook her head and sighed: "You can't cry at this time, otherwise it will be bad for your eyes and health." Don't blame your dad, it's all for your good. You broke off with him a long time ago, and you wouldn't have the pain you have today. ”

What Zhang Yimei said is not wrong at all, if it is found in Lu Bao Yi, after Zhang Chunhui has a wife and children, it should be cut clean. Instead of waiting for a child to be coaxed by Zhang Chunhui casually, he believed the truth and heard it in his heart. Zhang Yimei did not tell Lu Baozhi that when Lu Qiang sent Zhang Chunhui to the Yuyun Township Bus Station to take the bus yesterday, Zhang Chunhui was very shameless to ask Lu Bao for a breakup fee.

even threatened Lu Qiang, if Lu Qiang didn't give him a breakup fee of 20,000 yuan, he would print Lu Baozhi's destruction of his family in tabloids and distribute it everywhere in Yuyun Township. Where does Lu Qiang bring so much money when he goes out? For the sake of Lu Baozhi's reputation, Lu Qiang went to Zhang Yimei to get a bank card, and really took out 20,000 yuan to Zhang Chunhui.

Only Lu Qiang and Zhang Yimei knew about this, and no one told them.

Therefore, Zhang Yimei blamed Lu Baozhi, the eldest daughter, in addition to being distressed. was so depressed and a little haggard on his face, as if Lu Qiang had aged several years for a while.

"I'm sorry, Mom, I'm really" What is it really, Lu Baozhi didn't say it in his cry.

When lying on the operating table, Lu Baozhi really clearly felt that something was stirring in his stomach. The child of more than three months has been formed, and the consequences of the drug abortion cannot be guaranteed, and only surgery can be performed. Even the acquaintances introduced by Xie Changsong are guaranteed, but Lu Baozhi is still afraid.

But all this is self-inflicted, Lu Baozhi knows, she is not to blame.

But she was not reconciled (to be continued. )
