The next days are uneventful, life is like a glass of light and tasteless and untimely white water, cold when it should be warm, and suddenly uncomfortable when it shouldn't be warm. The two of them had almost no other communication except Yuanyuan.

The night is peaceful. Cheng Qing has no shortage of women's nourishment around him, Xiao Yun, Wang Xiaolan, Zhao Lin... Liu Hong felt disgusted when she thought of this, every night was a husband and wife back to back, like a brand-name trademark for clothing many years later.

"Liu Hong, your father said that grandpa wanted to great-granddaughter and asked us to go home on the weekend. Cheng Qing turned around and said.

"Well, then I'll go back tomorrow. ”

"Liu Hong, I applied for a night school, and I will have classes three times a week in the future, and I may come back very late. ”

"I know, you never came back early when you weren't in night school. ”

"Red, everyone can make mistakes, and you can't make a mistake and beat you to death with a stick. I slapped you in the mouth, and this matter spread to the factory, and Xiao Yun was also forced by her parents to take a good look at a partner, and she was about to get married. That one can be flipped through. ”

"Cheng Qing, how light you said, turn it over. Will you continue to write a new chapter?" Liu Hong also turned to look at Cheng Qing and said. It is undeniable that the moment she saw him, Liu Hong's heart softened. The idol that had been broken in her heart was restored. She was hugged into his arms domineeringly.

......

"Hong, you are the daughter-in-law I married home, what are the others. He gasped.

"It's sad to fall in love with your woman. Liu Hong muttered.

"Red, after the New Year, Master Lu said that the factory leaders should train a few people in the younger generation, and I also wrote an application to join the party, and Master Lu also encouraged me to work hard and not delay my future. He hugged her tightly.

"Well, it's not too confused to get home, and I know that the future is more important than a woman. ”

"Red, don't scare me. He kissed her and stopped her from saying anything more. To be honest, there is no reason why Liu Hong loves him, he loves his handsome ruffian, and he can dress up and coax people if he loves him. He was undoubtedly successful in the decades that followed, and those romantic affairs could not hide his talent.

Liu Hong was once used, and now she is willing to be used. He wants to create an image of husband and wife and beauty, which is also what Liu Hong is looking forward to. She will keep this image alive and turn the fake into the real. She didn't expect that these would soon be shattered again.

The next day, the two happily took the child back to their parents' house. Grandpa was happy when he saw Yuanyuan, but Liu's mother still didn't have a good face, and Liu's father made a table full of good dishes. Decades later, what remains in the depths of Liu Hong's memory is still the fresh chicken skeleton stewed mushrooms, which is the kind of slice mill cultivated in the greenhouse, not the later shiitake mushrooms.

"Dad, I've already handed in the application for joining the party. When the time comes, will Dad be my introducer to join the party?" Cheng Qing and Dad Liu said while drinking.

"Cheng Qing, you are my son-in-law, and your master and I are not suitable for this matter. You work hard, didn't you apply for night school, and strive to get a diploma recognized by the state as soon as possible. It is not a problem to join the party and promote cadres, and when the time comes, there will be an organization to talk to you and report your thoughts. ”

"Yes, Dad, I'll do a good job. Cheng Qing promised.

"Dad believes you, young people should put their career prospects first, and it's best not to get involved in messy things. Father Liu saw Mother Liu coming to the house to help hold the child, so he asked in a low voice.

Cheng Qing lowered his head a little unnaturally and poured a sip of wine, and his father didn't say anything about him until he ordered.

"Hong, your Master Xiao's daughter will get married next month, you and Cheng Qing will go over together, Dad who is short of money is here. ”

"Dad, I don't want to go, Yuanyuan is still young, I can't hold the child. Liu Hong excused.

"Send it over, whoever is free at home will help you bring it, it's only a matter of two hours. You have to go with Cheng Qing. ”

"Dad. Liu Hong called out very dissatisfied.

"Red, I said Cheng Qing just now, and now my dad said that you, your horizons have been broadened, and men want to be self-reliant, and women can't lag behind. Husband and wife are one, and to put it inaccurately, one is prosperous and one is lost. You don't understand this most obvious truth. ”

"What does she know, a big stupid girl. Mother Liu picked it up in the room and said.

"Dad, Mom, can't I go? Participating in other people's weddings is also a good thing to accumulate virtue, and I will definitely go. Liu Hong said helplessly, thinking that her father and mother also cared about Cheng Qing's future.

"Listen, what does this have to do with the accumulation of virtue. It's a favor to go, isn't it just a big deal for people to do things? ”

"Mom, it's also my duty not to go. You told my dad to go, I'll go, and others say I don't listen. Liu Hong looked at Cheng Qing and said. I was wondering if Xiao Yun would be even more disgusting when she saw me going to her wedding than eating flies. It's like I'm disgusting with her.

It's early winter, and it's cold outside. Early in the morning, Liu Hong sent the child to the front building, and asked her eldest sister to help watch it for a long time, and then went to Xiao Yun's wedding with Cheng Qing.

At that time, it was not common to wear wedding dresses, and they were all a woolen suit, with a red shirt and leather shoes inside. The red scarf was tied to a red basin with the word "Xi", and some of the basins were filled with a bouquet of fake flowers, and some were placed with cosmetics.

A long slippery bicycle, with red ropes tied to the bride's dowry at the back, Xiao Yun is eight red furoshiki clothes. The big items have been delivered to the new house ahead of schedule. The groom's bicycle was filled with pork vermicelli and other things that were fashionable at that time.

The bicycle team arrived at the groom's door, and firecrackers were immediately set off in front of the door. This is a bungalow, Xiao Yun's new house has been seen through the window, and the bedding and suitcases inside are all good. Yishui's satin quilt is printed with the pattern of a dragon and phoenix. The firecrackers haven't stopped yet, and Liu Hong has looked at the small Xiao Yun carefully, she is undoubtedly very beautiful. Being a bride is even more beautiful and breathtaking, with a well-tailored wool suit wrapping her delicate figure, and a red shirt that sets off her skin even fairer. The corners of the red scarf are tied, and in the red basin are silk flowers and cosmetics, and there are several tubes of lipstick. It was only natural that she kept the red basin in front of her. Liu Hong always felt that something was wrong. In her memory, she didn't go to Xiao Yun's wedding. This time things changed, and she, like a few curious women, took a few steps forward to see the bride.

Liu Hong turned an angle and happened to see Xiao Yun's side, which had a slightly bulging belly, which made her suspicious instantly. It's like being pregnant. No wonder Xiao Yun hastened to get married in less than two months since he was humiliated by himself. Then this child is very likely to be Cheng Qing's.

Liu Hong pressed the commotion and returned to Cheng Qing's side, almost all of them were colleagues from the same unit, seeing her and Cheng Qing standing together lovingly, their expressions were ever-changing. But there was no nonsense, just polite small talk.

"Xiao Yun seems to have gained weight these days. ”

"That is, the small waist used to be as thick as mine, but now the fat original pants can't be put in, so I barely put them on after holding my breath, and the trouser belt is out of the eye. A girl who has a good relationship with Xiao Yun said.

"Boredom is not boring, you guys. ”

"It's really wide, what's your business with fat and thin. These people said that the taste came out, and a relative of Xiao Yun had already come over and let everyone sit down at the table, which could be regarded as a dissolution.

That day, Liu Hong was carefully dressed, with a light cyan suit collar top, black pants, and high-heeled leather shoes with artificial leather. Gao pulled his hair and pinned the most expensive hairpin that he bought for more than ten yuan. Beauty and temperament are by no means inferior to any little girl. Mrs. Lu, who was sitting at the same table with them, kept praising her.

"Cheng Qing's daughter-in-law has given birth to a child, and she has become more and more peugeot. You all have long eyes. In the future, I will look like a willow red for my wife to find a partner. She said to the boys at the table.

"Master, how can we have Cheng Qing's good life. Several of Master Lu's apprentices said together.

"It's because you're not as handsome as I am. Look at you crooked melons and cracked dates, and when my daughter-in-law and sister-in-law go to work in the future, I will help you take a look, her kindergarten is full of female nursery teachers. ”

"Really, sister-in-law, I'm pinning my trust on you. Several of Cheng Qing's brothers joked. Liu Hong also smiled and replied one by one. It can be seen that Cheng Qing is satisfied at this time. Didn't he know that Xiao Yun might be pregnant? Liu Hong thought suspiciously.

It was the turn of the groom and the bride to toast at the table, and Xiao Yun also changed three sets of clothes according to the custom at that time. This time she put on a babydoll shirt. A few pairs of folds were pinched above the chest, and the lower half of the top was a little fluffy, but Xiao Yun looked more playful and cute like a doll.

They first toasted Master Lu and Mrs. Lu and lit cigarettes. Then it was Liu Hong and Cheng Qing's turn. Xiao Yun had a smile on his face, and he must have hated it to the extreme in his heart.

"Brother Cheng, sister-in-law, please drink. The groom is also very handsome, but compared to Xiao Yun, he politely poured Cheng Qingliuhong full of wine in the cup.

Cheng Qing drank all the blessings, Liu Hong also drank the wine in the cup, and said with a smile: "Xiao Yun, sister-in-law wishes you a happy wedding, and I wish you an early birth and a noble son who will grow old together." ”

"Thank my sister-in-law's auspicious words, when I give birth to a son in the future, I will recognize my sister-in-law as a godmother. Xiao Yun said with a smile, but Liu Hong saw that she was gritting her teeth and saying it.

She also laughed: "Okay, I can be regarded as having a son." A son and a daughter make up a good word, hello, I'm good, everyone is good. She and Xiao Yun also knew it.

After leaving the wedding, Cheng Qing's smile also retracted, and he returned home sullenly. Liu Hong also took the child back.

"Liu Hong, what did you mean at Xiao Yun's wedding?" Cheng Qing asked a little tentatively. Liu Hong simply looked at him ignorantly and asked.

"What do I mean? What did I say wrong, it hit someone's lung tube? ”

"Liu Hong, people have just gotten married, and you will have a precious son early. ”

"Hey, Cheng Qing, can you be reasonable, isn't this just a blessing that has been said rotten since ancient times. I have heard many people say this today. What kind of wind are you smoking? ”

"Others say yes, but you don't say it's appropriate. I'm just pressing down on her business. ”

"Cheng Qing, isn't it the purpose of you taking me to her wedding to block other people's mouths. If I don't say a word, others will think more. Now I'm just saying a word of blessing, and you're not happy in your heart, aren't you? Liu Hong was like a mirror in her heart, and Cheng Qing was testing how much she knew. Cut, sister, but the soul of a few decades later, will you follow your words and say it.

He looked at Liu Hong suspiciously, and fell asleep without wanting to say any more. Liu Hong's heart turned upside down, for the sake of this child, Xiao Yun's married life was also unhappy. But in the end, there was no divorce, at least when they divorced, they were still living in the same bed and dreaming of different dreams.
