Chapter 45: Fleeing in a hurry
"Dad, I want a big bear, I want to sleep with a big bear, you can sleep with your mother!" Xiao Nian Cake knew that her mother looked good-tempered, but it was difficult to change her mind, but her father was easier to convince, so she said accusatory to Shen Chi.
There are quite a few people in the department store, and there are more than a dozen salespeople alone, not to mention customers.
The child's voice was crisp, and the words of the little rice cake were heard by many people, and they suddenly looked at Shen Chi and Lin Xiaoliang with curious eyes.
Rao is cheeky like Shen Chi is a little uncomfortable, not to mention that Lin Xiaoliang is so thin-faced, and for a while, his face was red and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.
Shen Chi saw that his daughter-in-law was too ashamed, so he reached out and held her hand comfortingly.
Everyone looked at the interaction between the young couple, smiled, and looked away kindly.
"Daddy?" Unable to get an answer, the little rice cake looked up strangely.
Shen Chi sighed, "Buy it, but you have to carry it back yourself." He naturally knew Wanwan's concerns, but he felt that this was a good opportunity for his son to learn to do what he could, and at the same time let him suffer a little.
Xiao Rice Cake really didn't find the small trap, and nodded excitedly: "Okay, I'll take it back myself." β
After paying the money to buy the teddy bear, Lin Xiaoliang bought the cotton and cloth he needed, and the family was already full at this time, and the scheduled task had been completed, so they left together.
"Mom and Dad are waiting for me ......"
I don't know how many times, Xiao Nian Cake struggled to hold the teddy bear high, stumbling after Shen Chi and Lin Xiaoliang who were a few steps away. But no matter how hard he tried, the teddy bear's tail had already fallen to the ground and soiled due to his loss of strength several times.
Lin Xiaoliang listened and looked at his son who was flushed with suffocation, and a touch of distress crossed his eyes. but did not ask to help him.
Xiao Rice Cake only felt that his hands and feet were so heavy and heavy, as if he was about to move next, and there were tears in the corners of his eyes, but he didn't cry.
Lu Rong didn't know how many times she looked out of the window, and saw Lin Xiaoliang's family who had just come back. She immediately threw away the melon seeds in her hand and rushed out.
"Shen Chi, where have you been? I've come to you several times and you're not home. As he spoke, his tone was aggrieved.
She already knew Shen Chi's name during this time, although she felt that he was a little wronged by this name, but she still waited for the two of them to do something before mentioning it.
Lin Xiaoliang frowned, looked at her with annoyance, and said, "Lu Rong." Can you be a little more respectful? For her, who has never quarreled with anyone, this kind of talk is already serious.
The son next to her was holding back tears and was uncomfortable, how could she be in the mood to pay attention to this woman who didn't know what to do.
Lu Rong seemed to have just discovered Lin Xiaoliang's existence, and glared at her: "Lin Xiaoliang, why are you here?" β
"This is my home, where am I not here?" Lin Xiaoliang glanced at his son. said lightly to Lu Rong: "If there is nothing to do, please leave." β
"Wait, Lin Xiaoling, won't you invite me in to sit down?" Lu Rong's expression suddenly changed, and she spoke enthusiastically.
Lin Xiaoliang was about to laugh, and she really smiled, her eyes were as clear and soft as a stream.
Shen Chi's gaze fell on her and couldn't take it off, and Lu Rong's expression was distorted with jealousy, if she could also have a good appearance like Lin Xiaoliang......
Lin Xiaoliang didn't know the turmoil caused by her smile, and the corners of her lips curled up with ridicule: "Do you think I will invite a thief home as a guest?" β
Lu Rong's face turned pale. Immediately, he didn't care about Shen Chi being on the side, and said angrily: "Lin Xiaoling, don't be complacent, Shen Chi is the son of Chief Han." What qualifications do you, a country woman, have to be the young lady of the Han family? It's just a village woman, what can you do to help Shen Chi? Only a young lady like me is worthy of him. You wait, sooner or later, Chief Han will let Shen Chi take you off! β
Lin Xiaoliang looked at Lu Rong like a fool, can this woman be more stupid?
Shen Chi's face sank, Lu Rong just thought about these words in her heart, but she shouldn't have said them in front of Wanwan! His tactfulness is the best. Where can a lowly woman like Lu Rong put her beak?
"Miss, everyone?" He laughed angrily, "If even an illegitimate daughter can be called a young lady." All over the country, you can find me a lady who is not everyone's young lady. β
Lu Rong was stunned when she heard this, "You, how do you know...... Wrong. What are you talking about? What illegitimate daughter, I don't understand what you're talking about. She was rarely smart for a while, but unfortunately the first half of the sentence had betrayed her.
"Do you think you can't find out about this?" Shen Chi didn't pay attention to her quibbles, and sneered: "You are now staying in the Yu family under the name of an inexplicable niece, and you look so similar to Yu Bingliang, do you really think that everyone in this world is as stupid as you?" β
"Others don't say it's for Yu Bingliang's sake, what kind of thing are you, and you dare to come and peep at Wanwan's position?" He stared at Lu Rong gloomily and said, "You said that if I lifted the fig leaf on your body, let Yu Bingliang be expelled from the party and the army, and be driven out of the compound, do you think he will hate you as an illegitimate daughter?" β
Whether it was his tone or the content of his words, Lu Rong was frightened, and she trembled: "What are you going to do?" You can't do this, I, I like you so much, how can you do this to me? β
"See if I can." Shen Chi sneered: "Stay away from me in the future, and don't provoke my lover, otherwise you will ......"
He didn't say the latter words, but Lu Rong was completely able to make up what he meant, and she was so frightened that she fled in a hurry, and she didn't even dare to turn her head back.
When the family of three finally came home, the teddy bear was already dirty, the little rice cake was sweating profusely, and the breath he was holding was relieved, and he cried out -
"Mom, the little rice cake's hands are so sour......"
Lin Xiaoliang sighed, took the teddy bear aside, hugged his son, and didn't open his mouth to comfort him, but only started to massage him with just the right amount of force.
Shen Chi took a glass of water and put it in front of him. The little rice cake was smoking, and when he saw that he was sleeping, he couldn't care about the soreness of his hands and eagerly picked it up, and drank it in one gulp.
"The little rice cake is so tired, my parents don't help me." The little rice cake sobbed and said aggrievedly.
Lin Xiaoliang patted him on the back and said, "Didn't you see that your parents were full of things in their hands?" β
"But ......" Xiao Rice Cake still felt wronged, he worked so hard, his parents didn't comfort him, and they didn't come to help him as distressed as before.
"Did Rice Cake know in advance that it would be tiring to carry the teddy bear back alone?" Lin Xiao obediently followed the good path.
"Yes." The little rice cake lowered his head and whispered.
"Then why buy it?"
The little rice cake stopped talking.
"Because you think my dad and I will help, right?"
The little rice cake nodded a little embarrassedly.
Lin Xiaoliang touched his head and said softly: "Next time Xiao Rice Cake does something, you have to think about it beforehand, how much power can you do." β
"Besides, you have to do what you promised, and you can't always hope that others will help you?"
"I see." The little rice cake nodded, and after glancing at the teddy bear that had been dirty on the side, the tears that had just dried up in his eyes suddenly flooded again.
"But the bear is dirty......"
Lin Xiaoliang smiled: "It's okay, my mother will help you clean it, and I guarantee that it is exactly the same as when I was in the department store." β
"Really?" The little rice cake burst into tears and laughed.
"Really." Lin Xiaoliang smiled and pinched his nose.
In the evening, Lin Xiaoliang sat by the window cutting cloth, while Shen Chi was reading her newly written manuscript.
ββIn this life, Lin Xiaoliang has written fewer essays, mostly short and medium-length social commentaries, or some reviews of food, beauty and even historical relics, and occasionally writes about emotional ethics and reflecting reality. is different from her previous life, her style of writing has changed in this life, she is still every word, and her edge is still there, but there is more casualness and peace between the turns of the sentences, and the wording is more restrained and peaceful, and the words reflected are mellow and undiminished. Therefore, Shen Chi can read her articles with relish.
"Why are so many unpublished?" After reading it, Shen Chi said strangely.
"I usually only care about writing, and I am not short of money, so I don't force it in this matter." Lin Xiaoliang is not a good name, and there are many TV stations that want to interview her from her retirement in her previous life, but she really doesn't like to be talked about everywhere she goes, so she politely refused.
Fortunately, although she was an old guy with some fame, it was not enough for those TV stations to hold on, after all, the literati's pen and those TV stations were still afraid of two points, especially the older generation of literati like her.
"It's so nice to say, it's not that I'm lazy, and I have to drag it out even when I put a stamp in the mailbox."
Shen Chi's words pulled Lin Xiaoliang's thoughts back from her memories, and she chuckled: "I didn't write it for publication, so why should I care about this kind of thing." β
In my previous life, I was always the editor of the magazine, and I came to her every once in a while to collect it.
"By the way, Lu Rong is really an illegitimate daughter?" Finding that it seemed to be particularly easy to recall the past today, Lin Xiaoliang changed the subject.
"Remember the last time Mrs. Huang was there?" Seeing Lin Xiaoliang nodded, Shen Chi continued: "She obviously doesn't like Lu Rong, if it weren't for Lu Rong being his husband's illegitimate daughter, would she be willing to beg to come to the door?" β
Lin Xiaoliang heard a certain meaning from his mouth, and couldn't help but widen his eyes and said, "You were cheating on her before?" β
"Or else?" Shen Chi stretched out his hand to help her sort out the cut cloth, "It's not like I have nothing to do, I'm idle to investigate that trivial matter." From Mrs. Huang's attitude last time, he had a guess, if it weren't for Lu Rong's behavior becoming more and more inappropriate, he wouldn't have torn his face like this.
"What does Lu Rong's father do? Will it affect you? Lin Xiaoqian frowned slightly.
In this era, no one dared to report such a blatant raising an illegitimate daughter, and she didn't believe that Lu Rong's biological father was just a small person.
She is not afraid of Lu Rong's brainlessness, she is afraid that she will beat the young one and come to the old one. (To be continued)
