Chapter Twenty-Four: The Little Boy He and His Lover

At this moment, Zhang Guolin and Luo Fang took a little boy about five years old, and also went to the second floor of the department store, Zhang Guolin looked around like a thief, after all, he and Luo Fang were not a legitimate husband and wife, they could only sneak around, and they also brought a little boy by their side, he had good eyesight, and suddenly saw Lin Wei's familiar back, and Ping'er was at the children's shoe cabinet, he looked flustered, and said to Luo Fang eagerly: "Luo Fang, you take Roger home quickly, Lin Wei and her daughter are also on the second floor of the children's shoes ** cabinet, hurry, go downstairs." ”

Luo Fang was very reluctant and pouted unhappily: "What are you flustered about?" Seeing Lin Wei is like seeing the king of Hades, your bear-like look is so pathetic, okay, my mother and I can't see anyone, just dodge. ”

"Okay, what are you doing so much, take Roger home, and go home when you are angry." Zhang Guolin patted Luo Fang's back and waved his hand at the little boy.

Sending Luo Fang and her mother away, she relaxed her flustered expression, walked slowly to Lin Wei's side, squatted down and pretended to be kind, and said to Ping'er: "Hey, Ping'er, I took a fancy to those beautiful shoes, and told my father, and my father bought them with you." ”

Lin Wei heard Zhang Guolin's voice, turned his face, and greeted expressionlessly: "Heh, what kind of wind is it today?" Blow you to this. ”

"It's Ping'er Feng, I haven't been home for more than a month, I miss you and my mother, I was blown to the department store today, I want to buy clothes and shoes with Ping'er, I also went to the children's shoes ** cabinet to have a look, and I met you, it's really heart-to-heart!" Zhang Guolin was improvised, self-inflicted, fooling Lin Wei and pleasing Lin Wei.

Lin Wei didn't eat this set, he didn't have a good impression of Zhang Guolin, and mocked lukewarmly: "It should be that you haven't been home for a few months, not more than a month, I know that you are very busy, you are busy with your own career, my mother and mother both understand, you don't have to say more." Lin Wei stopped Zhang Guolin's words, feeling a little bored in his heart, and didn't like to listen to his words like flesh.

Ping'er was curious to listen to the adults, this person who claimed to be her father, it was rare to see each other in a year, she suddenly heard it, felt very strange, pushed Zhang Guolin, and asked, "Who are you?" I don't know you. ”

"Silly boy, I'm your father, I'm very busy, I'm working, I don't have time to go home, during the New Year, my father will go home and give me Ping'er New Year's money." Zhang Guolin almost picked up Ping'er and put on a picture of liking his daughter.

Ping'er struggled for a moment, "You let me down, I don't want you to hug me." ”

"You let Ping'er come down, she is very strange to you, the child is very innocent, and she can't take a vacation." Lin Wei gestured towards Zhang Guolin's hand.

Zhang Guolin put down Ping'er boringly, to be honest, he is also very tired, and he is a husband and wife in reputation, in fact, he has been married to Lin Wei for more than seven years, and he has never felt the love between husband and wife.

Ping'er hid behind her mother, poked out half of her head to look at Zhang Guolin, there was no smile on her face, very strange.

Zhang Guolin was very helpless, so he had to take out the wallet from his jacket pocket and make a strange appearance to his daughter, "Dad bought you these shoes, these red leather shoes are very beautiful, I Ping'er must look great when I wear it." ”

"Salesman, how much is a pair of shoes?"

"These red shoes, 28 pieces of 8." The waitress took three 10 yuan bills, gave change to Zhang Guolin, and said: "Your daughter is so beautiful, white and red, like her mother, she looks better in these red leather shoes." ”

The saleswoman is of the same age as Zhang Guolin and Lin Wei, and she likes children very much, so she smiled at Lin Wei's daughter and waved her hand: "Beautiful girl, welcome to come again, goodbye!" ”

"Auntie, goodbye!" Ping'er also said goodbye and turned to hold her mother's hand.

Lin Wei smiled at the saleswoman, nodded, greeted, took her daughter's hand and left the counter, and walked towards the staircase.

Zhang Guolin followed behind, very concerned about Lin Wei and his wife, "Be careful when you go downstairs, don't wrestle." Reaching out and holding Ping'er.

The three of them walked out of the department store, and Zhang Guolin said to Lin Wei: "You two are waiting at the door, and I will drive over to the back of the building to see you off." ”

"Forget it, if you have something, let's go first, you don't need to send it, the road is not far, my mother and I will go to the compound, and it will take more than 20 minutes to walk, you go and get busy." Lin Wei said to Zhang Guolin.

"What's the matter with sending me, don't treat me as an outsider." Zhang Guolin was thankless and a little unhappy, and his voice raised a little.

Hearing Zhang Guolin's tone, Lin Wei said to him: "Okay, if you feel free, just drive over." ”

Zhang Guolin hurriedly walked around to the parking lot of the building, drove the jeep over, opened the door, and smiled: "Ping'er come up, Dad will send you." ”

The word dad, usually, Ping'er rarely shouts it out of her mouth, and she doesn't call Zhang Guolin in practice, so she casually says: "Your car is not as beautiful as my grandfather's car, and my mother and I often sit there, so it's comfortable." ”

"I know, your grandfather is a big official, his car must be beautiful, your father's car is not bad, jeeps, only the county regiment level is eligible to sit, this is a private car." Zhang Guolin made a smug face at his daughter.

After a while, the car drove into the compound and arrived at the door of Ping'er's grandmother's house, Lin Wei said lukewarmly to Zhang Guolin out of politeness: "You can get out of the car too, go to my house and sit down, drink saliva, hard work." ”

"No need, you two should rest early, I'll go to the hotel, some things are arranged, Ping'er, goodbye!" Zhang Guolin waved his hand to Ping'er and drove away.

Zhang Guolin didn't go to the hotel, but went directly to Luo Fang's residence and knocked on the door: "Luo Fang open the door, I'm here." ”

"Don't come in, I'm not your home, you better go back to your own home." Luo Fang was very angry and blocked the air and didn't open the door.

"What are you doing here? Isn't it so atmospheric, am I not with you all day long? What kind of jealousy, didn't I come over? Open the door! Please. ”

"What do you want me to do? If you want to go back there, go back there, I don't open the door, you can go. Luo Fang felt very uncomfortable, when he saw Lin Wei and his wife, he was like a ghost, asking us to go, thinking of this, he was angry, in his heart, Lin Wei was supreme, he had no name, he was like a thief, and he couldn't see the light.

More than forty minutes passed, Luo Fang insisted on not opening the door, thinking of this in his mind, he was angry in his heart, sitting on the sofa, not moving.

But Zhang Guolin kicked the door a few times impatiently, and said "bang, bang, bang" a few times, "What a stupid B." With an angry look on his face, he turned and went downstairs, leaving the place and driving to the hotel.

After a while, Zhang Guolin drove to the hotel, Nie Jianguo hadn't gotten off work yet, and when he saw Zhang Guolin coming in, he wanted to please Zhang Guolin, so he greeted him with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, here again, aren't you going to the department store with Luo Fang?" ”

"It's just that you have a lot to do, it's none of your business, get out of the way." Zhang Guolin poured his anger on Nie Jianguo's head and went straight to the general manager's office upstairs.

Nie Jianguo scolded himself, I don't know what happened to him? Dumbfounded to see Zhang Guolin go upstairs, he didn't dare to say the second sentence, after all, he was the boss, relying on him to eat, the factory was sluggish, so he went to the old classmate hotel to beg for food, as a lobby manager, in this hotel is also the third, Nie Jianguo didn't go upstairs to disturb Mr. Zhang, and told Master Xu on duty: "Old Xu, Mr. Zhang went upstairs, don't bother him, a little annoying, let him be quiet." ”

"Okay, Mr. Nie can rest assured that he will get off work." Master Xu sent Mr. Nie away, closed the door of the hotel, and walked into the duty room.

It was dawn, the sun shone into the office, Zhang Guolin spent the night on the sofa in the office, he looked at his watch, it was nine o'clock, the employee was at work, he hurriedly went to the bathroom to wash up, went down to the second floor, and happened to meet Manager Li: "Mr. Li, is Luo Fang here?" ”

"I don't think I saw it, you go to the first floor and have a look." Manager Li responded and glanced at Zhang Guolin.

I saw him hurriedly go down to the first floor, Zhang Guolin looked at the cash register, saw that Luo Fang didn't come to work, knew her bullish temper, it seemed that he wanted to lower his head to coax her, let her discourage, Zhang Guolin didn't have time to say hello to the staff, and he didn't care about breakfast, so he walked out of the hotel and went straight away.

When he came to Luo Fang's residence, he happened to open the door, Zhang Guolin hugged Luo Fang head-on, and hurriedly made amends: "My dear, I'm sorry!" It's not good for me to make you angry, I'm not looking at you! Being with you all day long, working, eating, and sleeping, you are too selfish, you have to understand me, Lin Wei is my wife after all, and I also have my daughter. ”

Luo Fang pushed away his hugging hands, but couldn't push them away, and argued with him: "You want me to understand you, do you know how I feel?" When you saw Lin Wei, your demeanor didn't care about me at all, I was so miserable! ”

Zhang Guolin's eyes showed a look of cherishment, moved his hands to hold Luo Fang's face, kissed lightly, saw Luo Fang's eyes red, and said softly: "Last night, I didn't sleep again, my eyes were red, I blame me, I feel very sad to see you like this, you beat me, let you discourage, don't take some things too seriously, it's better to be confused." ”

Perhaps, women can't stand the coaxing of men, Luo Fang cried loudly, but stretched out her arms to hug nervous Guolin, and cried coquettishly: "I love you very much!" I'm afraid of losing you, seeing that you are so good to Lin Wei, I feel bad in my heart, you won't leave me. ”

"Fool, I'm not going back to you! Roger is still young, he is also my flesh and blood, I can't ignore it, I can't leave you two behind! I am a responsible man. Zhang Guolin moved with affection and coaxed Luo Fang.

Luo Fang's son came over and pulled the corner of Zhang Guolin's clothes, his son was more than five years old, Zhang Guolin let go of his hand, picked up his son Roger and kissed him: "Xiaojie, uncle just likes you and your mother, I will send you to the nursery, uncle and your mother have to go to work." ”

"You put down Xiaojie, you haven't had breakfast yet, have you? You must have spent the night in the office, look at you, both eyes are bloodshot, I didn't sleep last night, I'll give you a bowl of dumplings, it's fast, don't worry. Luo Fang likes Zhang Guolin very much, and uses his own tender means to control him by his side, Luo Fang is a gentle woman, soft and steely, and she is also a smart woman among women.

"Okay, you still feel sorry for me, feel warm, you, anger is like a gust of wind, it's blowing, it's fine." Zhang Guolin felt it and patted Luo Fang's back affectionately.

A storm of women unilaterally fighting for the wind and jealousy finally subsided, coaxing Luo Fang, it was a trivial matter for Zhang Guolin, after eating the dumplings, he smiled at Luo Fang and said: "It's delicious, I'm not fat by your side, I can't say it, let's go, go to work." ”

"Uncle Zhang, I want to take your car and go to kindergarten." Xiao Jie took his uncle's hand, he grew up beside his uncle since he was a child, he was no stranger to Zhang Guolin at all, and he was very happy, calling him uncle was an agreement between Luo Fang and Zhang Guolin, after all, he and Luo Fang were not legal husband and wife.

"Wow, let's go" Zhang Guolin picked up Xiaojie and went downstairs.

Luo Fang followed behind him and advised: "Don't talk when you go downstairs, be careful." ”

The years passed, five years passed in a blink of an eye, and on July 6, 1997, Lin Wei's daughter Lin Pingping graduated from primary school and became a little girl, more and more beautiful and good-looking, looking more and more like Wan Yunhai, short hair, white and red face, wearing a white dress, took the graduation report card from Yuxin Primary School in the morning, jumped home, pushed open the yard door, and shouted happily: "Grandma, mother, grandpa, I'm back." ”

Lin Wei heard her daughter's voice and came out of the living room, "I went home so early, and the teacher didn't say anything?" ”

"The teacher said it, it's all written on the graduation transcript, Mom, take a look."

took the graduation report card from her daughter's hand, looked at the test results of each subject, all 100 perfect scores, and the teacher gave her daughter a high evaluation; The student's academic performance is very good, and he is also a very good class cadre, with strong ability, can play an exemplary role, unite classmates, love the collective, love labor, and is a good student with excellent character and learning.

After reading her daughter's graduation transcript, Lin Wei's eyes were full of tears, her expression was a little excited, her eyes radiated a gratifying light, and she gently took her daughter's little hand and entered the living room.

Grandma's kind face was engraved with wrinkles, and when she walked into the living room, when she saw the tears and expression in Lin Wei's eyes, she asked with a smile: "Ping'er, why are there tears in your mother's eyes?" Did you make your mother angry? ”

"Grandma, look at what you said, my mother read my graduation transcript, and there were tears in her eyes." Ping'er looked up at her mother, and she knew in her heart that her mother was tears of joy.

Lin Wei handed her daughter's graduation report card to her mother, and said softly: "I'm happy tears, your grandson is very competitive, you know it when you see it." ”

"Let me see, Ping's grandson went to grandma's room and helped grandma get reading glasses, what did the teacher write?"

"Well, I'll get it."

Grandma took the reading glasses, put them on, looked at them carefully for a while, took them off, smiled in her eyes, and nodded: "Oh...... I got it, amazing! Terrific! Our family is going to be the champion, grandma wants to reward my grandchildren, add a few good dishes, braised hairtail, braised pork ribs, beer roast duck, I want to cook it myself, everyone celebrates. ”

"Mom, if you are happy, I'll cook the dishes." Lin Wei was very excited to see her mother, and she felt relieved in her heart, and her hard work in educating Ping'er had no white flowers, and it had achieved initial results.

At noon, when my grandfather came back from a meeting in the bureau, he came in from outside, walked to the restaurant, saw the sumptuous dishes on the table, and asked his wife: "Wife, what is the good thing today?" Such a sumptuous meal. ”

The wife happily didn't answer directly, but said to the old man: "Guess what's good?" ”

"Grandpa, you don't have to guess, let me tell you, grandma is rewarding me, you are blessed, you look at my primary school graduation transcript, you will know." Ping's grandson put the report card in her grandfather's hand and glanced up angrily.

took Ping's grandson's graduation transcript, looked at it, and said with a smile: "It's worth celebrating!" Congratulations, my grandchild Ping is different, good! It's gratifying to congratulate, make a phone call, and call my grandson Xiao Dongdong over to receive re-education. ”

"Grandpa, don't call, Xiao Dongdong will be here soon."

Lin Wei saw his father, so happy, and said to his father: "Dad, look at what you said about Ping'er, she is used to cocking her tail." ”

"I don't my tail, huh!" Ping'er replied angrily.

After a while, Xiao Dongdong and his father and mother came, and the whole family arrived, and Ping'er greeted her mother, aunt and Dongdong: "Hi, Hello Niangniang!" Hello Daddy! Better! ”

"Good! Hello Ping'er! We are here to celebrate Ping'er's graduation from primary school. Grandma informed us on the phone, "Niangniang also greeted Ping'er cordially, took out a congratulatory gift from the satchel, and handed it to Ping'er: "This is the mother's reward for her niece, repeater, for learning, to go to junior high school, must be used to learn foreign languages, award to you, I wish you to study hard and go up every day." ”

"Thank you for your encouragement!" Ping'er happily accepted the gift.

"Okay, everyone is here, let's go to the table, drink happy wine, grandpa can touch the light of my grandson." Lin Wei's father joked happily, greeted his daughter, son-in-law, grandson, and granddaughter, and set up the dishes and chopsticks for everyone.

Celebrating Ping's grandson's good grades in primary school, it is a happy event for the whole family, a generation of newcomers thriving, especially Ping's grandson grew up in grandma and grandpa, with a very deep emotion, giving her too much care, the old man attaches great importance to cultivating the flowers of the motherland, starting from the baby, attaching importance to the comprehensive growth of morality, intellect and physique, achieving good results in learning, and giving material and spiritual rewards.

Everyone went to the table to raise a glass to congratulate Ping's grandson, and Grandpa said excitedly: "Grandpa, I am very happy today, and I also give Ping's grandson a reward!" ”

While speaking, he took out a red paper congratulatory bag prepared in advance from his pocket, handed it to Ping's grandson, and said: "This is a heart of grandma and grandpa, reward Ping's grandson with 500 yuan, congratulations to Ping's grandson, graduated from primary school, achieved good grades, and was praised by the teacher, the evaluation is very high, grandma, grandpa is very happy, I hope that Ping's grandson will make persistent efforts, junior high school, high school, and college every day, cheers!" ”

"Oh, cheers!" Xiao Dongdong touched his sister's cup first, as if it was fun.

Lunch was carried out in a happy atmosphere, Xiao Dongdong raised his glass and said to Sister Ping: "Sister, I also toast, you are my role model, I want to catch up with you in learning, and I also want grandma and grandpa to praise me and reward me!" Let grandma and grandpa be happy, happy! ”

"Well said, Dongdong has ambition, good look, get good grades like your sister Ping, when the time comes, grandma and grandpa will reward you in the same way, junior high school and high school will be admitted to college, grandma and grandpa will reward you with a grand prize." Lin Wei's father said with a smile to Ping's grandson and Dong's grandson, encouraging the grandchildren to work hard.

Ping's grandson suddenly said: "Grandpa, junior high school, I want to go to the best school, apply for the Nanjiang City 22 Chinese and Foreign Chinese School, I don't want to be a bully in the monkey, I want to be a bully in the top." ”

"Haha...... has the true character of a hero, like the people of my Lin family. Lin Wei's father happily raised his big finger.

Lin Wei didn't talk to her sister Lin Hong and brother-in-law He Yi, and listened excitedly to the conversation between their grandparents and grandchildren, and their hearts were full of joy.

"Ping'er, No. 22 Middle School, very close to my family's residence, you can live in my mother's house, help Dongdong study together, it is said that four or five thousand people apply for the exam every year, but they are all top students from various schools to sign up, only about 200 people are admitted, and the acceptance rate is four percent, which is amazing! Good! Niangniang believes that you will definitely be admitted. ”

Lin Wei never expected her daughter to have such great ambitions, her heart was full of joy, and she asked, "Can I sign up that day?" Where to sign up? ”

"Mom, I signed up at school, and the teacher encouraged me to sign up, and the teacher said that I went there to study in junior high school, which was one of the best middle schools in Nanjiang City, and it was a school that top students yearn for.

Unexpectedly, her daughter has already signed up, so that her mother can worry about it, she is really sensible, Lin Wei thought that her daughter's personality is really like his father Wan Yunhai, what kind of race, what kind of person, this is also a providential arrangement, seeing her daughter's appearance, like a budding bud, gradually blooming and growing, and there will be a future when she grows up, Lin Wei feels gratified.

A week later, at noon, I heard that the exam results came out, Lin Wei specially went to Nanjiang City Foreign Chinese Middle School to check the results, saw the big red good news posted at the school gate, the first thing that caught my eye was the daughter's name, Lin Wei was excited, did not want to be the overlord in the monkey, the overlord in the top, the daughter's wish came true, in the application for the Nanjiang City Foreign Chinese Middle School test paper results ranked in the top 20, was admitted, it is not simple, there is confidence, worthy of the pride of the mother, Lin Wei thought of her daughter so competitive, her heart was complacent, Look at the crowd around you who are watching the good news, some are happy, some are disappointed, and they leave with all kinds of complicated feelings.

Lin Wei turned around and hurried home, told the family the good news, pushed open the gate of the yard, and excitedly shouted into the house: "Dad, mother, Ping'er, tell you a good news, Ping'er has been admitted to a foreign Chinese middle school." ”

"Yes! Ping's grandson is really good, a good thing, a good thing, a great good thing! Tell your father, your sister, and Dong Dong. Grandma looked a little excited, her eyes were bright, and she followed Ping's grandson out to greet Lin Wei.

Lin Wei's excited eyes were full of tears, looked at her daughter affectionately, naturally took Ping'er's hand, walked into the living room together, and picked up the telephone: "Dad, your Pingsun is angry and admitted to a foreign Chinese middle school." ”

A hearty laugh came from the telephone: "Hah...... Ha...... Ha, good! As expected, he asked Ping's grandson to answer the phone. ”

"Ping'er, answer the phone quickly, grandpa has something to tell you." Grandpa raised his voice a little into the phone, deliberately letting Ping's grandson hear.

Ping'er took the phone from her mother's hand: "Hey, grandpa, I heard your laughter, I'm listening to you." ”

Grandpa's voice came from the telephone: "Grandson Ping, you look good!" Fight for your mother, fight for grandma and grandpa! Growing up will be productive, and our family is immensely proud! Keep up the good work and wish you the next level! Okay, I'll put the phone on and go home. ”

The good news soon spread to the mother's house, and the mother was very happy, put down the phone, and said to her son Dongdong: "Son! You must learn from your sister Ping, work hard, strive to be admitted to a good school, be a useful person to the society, and glorify your ancestors. ”

"Well, Mom, don't worry, I will study hard like Sister Ping, Sister Ping was admitted to a foreign Chinese middle school, I am happy and proud of Sister Ping!"
