Chapter 114: Jealousy burns
The next few days became the same as before the reunion, she no longer looked forward to his arrival, she seemed to suddenly don't care, she seemed to suddenly understand a lot of things, her existence will only bring pain and contradictions to Ruikang, if it can't bring happiness and joy to her lover, then what's the point of this love?
So she just lived every day mechanically, not knowing where to go, she promised him not to leave, not to disappear, but she didn't know what she was staying in this cabin every day.
Not long after, Aunt He, who was hired by Ruikang, didn't come, because the salary he paid had expired, Mei Ruojun didn't have enough money to survive, and the only help still came from Ding Xiaohui, finally the road to the end of the sky, in such a difficult world, Ding Xiaohui was lucky to find a job as a private trainer in a large family in the suburbs, and the income was not bad, so every once in a while, Ding Xiaohui would send Mei Ruojun some food and daily necessities.
Mei Ruojun had nothing to repay, only when he came to deliver something, he cooked a rather sumptuous dinner for him as a reward.
Ding Xiaohui walked into the cabin with a bundle of vegetables, a bundle of beans, a small bag of peanuts, four eggs, half a chicken, a small piece of pork, a bag of noodles, a small bottle of wine, and some garlic and chili peppers.
Ruojun hurriedly stepped forward to take the things, put them on the board in the corner, and handed him a warm towel.
"Why is it so early today?" She greeted him with a smile.
He put a hot towel on his face, and the hot, fragrant heat immediately made his whole body feel refreshed.
"What did you put in it, why is it so fragrant?" He asked curiously.
She smiled and said: "It is the wild roses I picked in the mountains, as well as the lilacs, I crushed them, took the juice, dripped them in clean water, soaked the towel in it, soaked it for a day and dried it for a day, soaked it for a day and dried it for a day, and after a long time, the towel will naturally be fragrant." ”
"Hehe, you're so thoughtful. No wonder you smell so good. Originally, he just wanted to praise her for her delicate thoughts, but as soon as the words came out, he immediately realized that something was wrong and choked his lips.
She smiled slightly, didn't mind, took the towel in his hand, walked to the small cooking board, took out the things he bought and came out and said, "Why is it so rich today?" Chicken, meat, and wine? She looked at him in surprise.
He walked behind her and scratched her head, laughed twice and said, "Because...... It's my birthday, and I thought you'd like to help me celebrate. ”
She turned her head and looked at him in surprise, they had known each other for so many years, she had never known his birthday, and he was so affectionate to her that she couldn't repay it at all, she owed him so much, her eyes flashed with a moving light and asked, "Why did you never mention it in previous years?" ”
He smiled heartily and said, "How can I be in the mood for a birthday, but this year is my thirtieth year, so I want to celebrate a little." ”
Looking at him, she was very sad in her heart, the years passed in such a hurry, Ding Xiaohui was thirty years old, and he was almost twenty-three years old, they were all people living in the flames of war, living in an atmosphere of uncertainty about life and death every day, they were people with the same fate. She pitied him for being affectionate and lonely, and he pitied her for being stubborn and lonely.
He was attracted to her and always wanted to get close to her, but he kept warning himself that he could not violate her, because she only had Zhou Ruikang in her heart, he took a breath, turned around and walked to the table, and said with a smile: "It depends on your craftsmanship tonight." ”
She said happily: "Of course, you are the birthday boy tonight, I will definitely make you a table of delicious food." ”
While putting on an apron and starting to handle various ingredients with her hands and feet, she complained in her mouth: "You are really, why didn't you tell me earlier?" I can prepare a gift for you. Not...... Let me think about ......"
She held a green vegetable in her hand, looked him from head to foot, and found that the cloth shoes on his feet had worn out holes, and she blamed herself again for her negligence, and said, "I will make you cloth shoes as a birthday present for you." I'll take a look at your size after dinner. ”
"Hey, no need, I'll get my salary next month to buy a pair, it's so hard to make shoes, don't be sad."
"No way!" She stubbornly pursed her lips: "You have done so much for me, can't I make you a pair of shoes?" ”
"This ......" He looked at her serious look, and it was hard to shirk it anymore, so he smiled and nodded.
She skillfully chopped vegetables and meat, and happily wanted to celebrate Ding Xiaohui, her great benefactor's birthday, but when she got up the oil pot and put the pork down, the fragrant meat fragrance on weekdays suddenly made her gag, she didn't know what was wrong, she hurriedly covered the pot, and retched against the wall.
Ding Xiaohui was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to help her: "What's the matter, Ruojun?" Are you uncomfortable? ”
She shook her head, only to feel that her heart was stuffy, her whole stomach was churning, but she couldn't vomit, Ding Xiaohui hurriedly pulled her to the table and sat down, pulled her wrist, gave her pulse, and suddenly her heart sank, raised her eyes and looked at her and said, "Ruojun, you are pregnant." ”
Mei Ruojun stared at him with wide eyes, unable to believe her ears, because since her last miscarriage, her monthly letter had not been accurate, and she was almost dead in the middle, she didn't expect that she would get pregnant at all.
The two looked at each other in a daze, and after a long time, Ding Xiaohui smiled: "Congratulations, Ruojun." ”
Mei Ruojun slowly reacted at this time, she was pregnant, oh my God, this is Ruikang's child, they have a child that belongs to them, there was a warm current in her heart, happiness came too suddenly, too strongly, so that she suddenly covered her face and cried.
"What's wrong? Ruojun, are you not happy? Ding Xiaohui looked at her puzzled.
She cried a lot, he didn't understand what this child meant to her, this child meant that she and Ruikang got rid of the relationship between her uncle and sister-in-law, it meant that she and Ruikang were combined, and since then they were connected by blood, which meant that their love blossomed and bore fruit, and it meant that she had a new hope in life...... This kid means too many things.
She shook her head, touched her lower abdomen, cried and laughed, she couldn't say a word, she was so happy, she took Ding Xiaohui's hand and pleaded: "Xiaohui, I know I owe you a lot, but I want to ask you for something." ”
"Say it."
"Help me keep this child, I've already lost a child, I'm sorry Ryan, I can't afford to lose this again. Help me, help me, help me get healthy, help me get stronger, I want this child to be safe. Tears fell from her eyelashes, and he had never seen her so sincere, so excited and joyful.
He was also happy for her, and said with a smile: "Of course, if you don't say that I will do the same." From now on, you have to listen to me, eat well, rest well, and I will prescribe you tocolytics. ”
"Xiaohui, I'm sorry, I don't have anything to do now, and I don't have anything to repay you......"
"Hehe, you are really, for so many years, you still give me this set, I saved your life twice, how can you repay it? So don't mention this, don't worry, I will help you keep the child, and I will definitely let you give birth safely. In the future, let the child call me uncle. He said gently, blinking his affectionate eyes.
She really didn't expect that she would be so lucky to meet an open-minded person like Ding Xiaohui, she was not stupid, she knew that he loved her deeply, she looked at him with emotion, stepped forward and kissed him on the cheek from the bottom of her heart, and whispered: "Thank you, Xiaohui." ”
His face flushed, and he knew that the kiss was only because she was grateful to him.
"Oh, braised pork!" Ding Xiaohui hurriedly ran to the stove, opened the lid of the pot, and saved the crispy pork that had been fried.
As soon as Mei Ruojun smelled the pork and wanted to vomit, she couldn't take charge anymore, Ding Xiaohui smiled: "I'll come, you go to the bed and sit." Mei Ruojun took off her apron and gave it to him.
Ding Xiaohui put on an apron and made a few side dishes neatly, Mei Ruojun was very surprised by his craftsmanship, he looked at her surprised expression, smiled and said, "Hehe, surprised?" My mother died very early, and I have two younger siblings, so I have been cooking for them since I was a child, and I have long been used to it. You taste it. I put the noodles down. ”
Mei Ruojun looked at his back deeply, and suddenly realized that if he hadn't married into the Zhou family, if he hadn't married into the Zhou family, if he hadn't had two brothers Ruian and Ruikang in his life, maybe he would have met a man like Ding Xiaohui, living a calm and peaceful life, ordinary, warm, simple, how happy he was.
Look, how reasonable the match of God is, she and Ding Xiaohui, Ruikang and Jiaqi, it should be like this, she doesn't have feelings for Ding Xiaohui, unless she is a cold-blooded animal, he is her most ideal partner, with him, she can be justifiable, above board, the life experience, experience, and temperament of the two are highly consistent, but her heart seems to be firmly grasped by Ruikang, she understands all the truths, and she can sort out all the analysis in an instant, but she can't forget Ruikang, she can't let it go, and she doesn't want to let it go.
Ding Xiaohui is the person sent by God to save her, the person who can take her out of the sea of suffering, the person who can give her a happy life, she looked at his sturdy back and thought, he is a beautiful and delicate man, and he understands her...... But she still chose to suffer in hell, Ruikang, her heart was shouting, how much she missed him, but as long as she thought of Ruikang, she even remembered Cheng Jiaqi...... The tide of despair soon overwhelmed her heart.
Ding Xiaohui cooked the noodles in chicken broth, served them to the table, wiped his hands on his apron, and said with a smile: "Although it is not as delicate as you make, it should not be very delicious." Come on. ”
As soon as he looked up, he met her contemplative gaze, he knew what she was thinking, he just smiled softly, and a shallow dimple appeared on his face, which was very beautiful.
"Don't be cranky. You promised me to celebrate my birthday, it's not okay to be so sad. He stepped forward and helped her to her feet and sat down at the table.
Mei Ruojun smiled, poured him wine, and was about to pour it for herself, when Ding Xiaohui gently pressed her cup and shook her head and said, "You are now a pregnant person, you can't drink." ”
How did she forget the little baby in her belly, she nodded shyly, poured water into the cup, and said: "I replace wine with tea, and wish my future uncle a long life and good luck." ”
Ding Xiaohui laughed, clinked glasses with her and drank them all.
Ding Xiaohui's craftsmanship is very good, the food is very delicious, the two are talking and laughing and enjoying the rare food and tranquility, Ding Xiaohui talks about some of his childhood past, and Mei Ruojun listens to his story with relish.
"Come, you can't eat meat, just eat more chicken." He gently sandwiched the chicken thigh meat for her.
"Another day, you accompany me down the mountain to buy some clothes, and I will make you two sets of clothes, you are now working in a big family, how can you wear more decently."
"Good ......"
Before Ding Xiaohui's word "good" was finished, there was a loud "bang", and the door was suddenly pushed open, Zhou Ruikang's eyes were red, and his face was gloomy, his lips were closed, his whole body trembled, his fists were clenched, and he stared at the warm picture in the room.
He suddenly felt that he was very ridiculous, he tried his best, made all the excuses, he was tired to death, he drove for more than an hour on the rugged and difficult mountain road, climbed hundreds of stone steps, he thought she was very painful, he missed himself very much, he thought she was as eager to see each other as he was, he thought she must be the same as him, he didn't want to eat, looking forward to hugging each other, he thought that his arrival would definitely move her to cry, he thought that tonight they could have a romantic and passionate night.
However, however, the scene in front of him seemed to slap him twice, and he looked at the "adulterer*" in the house angrily like a husband who had been cuckolded.
His heart was broken, oh no, his heart was burning, he couldn't bear such a picture, she was really a water-based poplar woman, his mother's warning to him suddenly sounded in his ears, yes, she was a water-based poplar, a shameless woman, she didn't come for more than ten days, she immediately threw herself into the arms of others, just like at the beginning, she swayed between herself and her eldest brother Ryan, oh my God, what kind of woman did she love? He wanted to rush forward and tear her to thousands of pieces, how could she play with him like this?
The two people in the room were also stunned, the moment they saw him, Mei Ruojun was very excited and happy, but his angry and gloomy expression made her instantly understand that he doubted himself again, it seemed that he had never believed in himself, she was very sad in her heart, and the idea of wanting to fly into his arms suddenly came to naught, she just lowered her head and unconsciously stroked her lower abdomen.
"Ruikang?" It was Ding Xiaohui who spoke first, of course he understood what was going on, and hurriedly wanted to make up for it: "Come in, come in, it's my birthday today...... Come on, come on, come in and eat together, and there's good news for you. ”
Mei Ruojun's silence bowed her head, and Ding Xiaohui's warm greeting made him feel even worse, was her silence acquiescing in her inattentiveness? Is Ding Xiaohui's warm greeting announcing to himself that he is the male owner of this cabin?
He felt that he was a guest at all, well, yes, guest, this small wooden house was built for her by Ding Xiaohui, they are the masters here, and he is just a guest, a ridiculous and pathetic guest.
"Huh." He sneered twice, and the laughter was cold and piercing. looked at Mei Ruojun and Ding Xiaohui again, turned around and left without saying a word.
Mei Ruojun supported her forehead in pain, and Ding Xiaohui hurriedly chased out and grabbed Zhou Ruikang.
"Zhou Ruikang, what are you doing here? Why not go in? ”
He was so arrogant, too deceitful, Ruikang was like a volcano about to erupt, and said fiercely: "You'd better let go, otherwise don't blame me for being rude." ”
Ding Xiaohui didn't let go, he knew that he had misunderstood himself and Ruojun, and he had to make it clear to him: "Can you calm down and listen to me explain the whole thing to you." ”
He doesn't want to listen, he doesn't listen, he's already seen it with his own eyes, does he still need to listen? Anger and jealousy suddenly occupied his brain, and he turned around with a punch and hit Ding Xiaohui's jaw hard, Ding Xiaohui didn't expect him to really make a move, he didn't have any defense, he fell to the ground, blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
When Mei Ruojun heard the sound of fighting, she hurriedly chased after her, and when she saw Ding Xiaohui who fell to the ground, she instinctively stepped forward to help. But this scene stimulated the jealous and crazy Zhou Ruikang.
He dragged her up from the ground, glared painfully at her face that had haunted him for years, he wanted to kiss her, he wanted to hug her, but he was mad, and now he wanted to tear her apart.
"Why are you torturing me like this? Why? Why are you such a woman? Why am I in love with you? I hate you, I hate you to death. You're so horrible, so horrible, I'll never see you again, don't, don't, don't, don't, ......" He grabbed her shoulders with all his might, shaking her, and he wanted to shake her to death.
Mei Ruojun was shaken by him, her eyes were starry, she was dark, her face was pale, and she just wanted to vomit, Ding Xiaohui hurriedly stood up, pushed Zhou Ruikang away, and rescued Mei Ruojun, who was about to be shaken unconscious, and held her in her arms, she fell weakly on his shoulder, and glanced at Ruikang in pain.
"You are crazy Zhou Ruikang, if you are pregnant, how can you shake her like this." Ding Xiaohui hugged Ruojun tightly in his arms in distress, Mei Ruojun knew that he couldn't help it, but she knew that he would further stimulate Ruikang's emotions, and tried hard to break free from Ding Xiaohui's embrace, but she didn't have the strength.
Ruikang was stunned, pregnant? He was overjoyed for a while, but when he saw Ding Xiaohui hugging Ruojun tightly, feeling distressed and nervous, his mind was burned with jealousy again, and he sneered twice and said, "Oh? Pregnant? Shall I congratulate you both? Congratulations to the two of you, shouldn't it be like this? He was extremely sarcastic, and exaggerated to Ding Xiaohui and Mei Ruojun.
Ding Xiaohui also got angry, pointed at him and scolded: "Shut up!" It's unreasonable, don't you know what you're doing? I should fucking beat you up. It's clear that you're inattentive, but you're here to splash me with dirty water......" As he spoke, he was about to rush up and beat Zhou Ruikang.
"Oh? Want to fight? Okay, come on! Ruikang also shouted with his neck pulled.
"Don't, Xiaohui, don't fight him. I'm not feeling well, help me back. Mei Ruojun pulled Ding Xiaohui to the cabin, she didn't want to say anything more, she was so unbearable in his eyes, so lowly, what else did she have to say, end here, let everything end, she looked at him painfully, stopped talking, and turned to leave.
Ding Xiaohui glared at Zhou Ruikang fiercely, ignored him anymore, and helped Mei Ruojun to walk towards the cabin.
"Wait!" Zhou Ruikang shouted: "Who is the child?" ”
Mei Ruojun suddenly felt that her face had been slapped countless times, just like when Mrs. Zhou beat her in Yilan Xiaozhu, his words completely shattered her, broken into thousands of pieces, it turned out that he was really such a man in his heart.
She didn't look back, took a deep breath, looked up, and said in a clear voice, "It's not yours!" ”
After speaking, he stopped caring about Zhou Ruikang, returned to the cabin with Ding Xiaohui, and closed the door.
