Chapter 1259： Why are you speaking so sensationally?

Chapter 1259 Why are you talking so sensationally?

With the ability to get to know the Xi family, a pair of capable adoptive parents, and the Song family behind him, no matter what happens to the child in the future, it will not be the Xiao family's turn to help him.

Moreover, from a moral perspective, the Xiao family chose not to recognize each other's children for the sake of face, so they were destined to be ineligible to appear in each other's lives.

Sighing secretly, Xiao's father felt deeply ashamed of his eldest grandson who was living abroad, but he couldn't be emotional, so the only thing he could do was to ensure that Feng Lu and the Xiao family would not cause trouble to the child.

As for the old guy from the Feng family, he will have a good chat with him when he takes some time to make sure that Feng Lu doesn't make a fuss about the child's life experience.

lest a good child be turned into an illegitimate child by her.

“Dad is right.”

Xiao Jin smiled bitterly: "Not to mention that Comrade Luo is an excellent scientific researcher, but Comrade Jiang Li is not only a well-known national athlete, but also a professor at Shuimu University, and the goddaughter of the Song family in our compound. When it comes to connections, Our family may not be able to compare.”

After a short pause, Xiao Jin adjusted his mood and said, "I will take care of the money matter."

Father Xiao: "It's 20,000, not 2,000. Even if you can get it, will you still be unable to survive in the future?"

“I have savings.”

He has been working for more than ten years, not just one or two years, and has saved some money.

“How do you explain it to Xiao Shen?”

Xiao’s father’s attitude is very clear and he does not approve of Xiao Jin’s contribution of money.

“We are financially separate.”

To prevent Xiao’s father from misunderstanding, Xiao Jin explained: “She proposed this before getting married.”

“How do you calculate household expenses and children’s education expenses?”

Father Xiao felt very strange and was a little dissatisfied with Shen Yun, the eldest daughter-in-law, so he heard Xiao Jin say: "She can't go home a few times a year, and she only comes back for a few days each time. This part of her living expenses is borne by me." Responsible…"

After hearing nothing more, Xiao’s father asked, “Why didn’t you say anything?”

Xiao Jin pursed his lips and said, "We share the cost of children's education equally."

Actually, it’s not evenly divided. He pays for all the family’s expenses. Shen Yun only buys things for the family occasionally according to his mood.

He has no objection to this. After all, it is a man's job to support his family.

And he would not even focus on a woman's salary.

Furthermore, two of the three children in the family are of his blood, which is a father's responsibility and obligation to raise his own children, and he will not be confused about this matter.

Of course, as a stepfather, he also had the responsibility and obligation to raise Ji An’s child. However, after graduating from elementary school, Ji An was taken by his biological father to study abroad.

In other words, he did not spend much money on his stepson Ji'an's education.

"Is the relationship between you and Xiao Shen so estranged? Or does it mean that she doesn't care about your family at all?"

Father Xiao really doesn’t understand the way the eldest son and his wife get along.

Financial independence, equal sharing of education expenses for children, what are these?

"Dad, I am no longer young and know what I am doing. Besides, I think it is okay for a couple to be financially independent."

Xiao Jin smiled and looked at him quietly. Xiao's father was silent for a moment and said, "It's up to you. If you really want to take out the money, just give him five thousand, and the family will pay for the rest."

Xiao Jin hesitated: "This..."

He is not the only son in the family, and he suddenly spent 15,000 to help him out of trouble. If his younger brother Xiao Shen knew about this, would he think too much about it?

As if he could tell what he was thinking, Father Xiao's face darkened: "You think more. The second brother is not as burdened as you, and the second brother also has his own income."

"How about...if you don't think I borrowed it from home, I'll pay it back when I have more money."

Since being transferred to work in Beicheng, Xiao Jin's salary is good, but no matter how good the salary is, it only costs about 80 yuan a month. Even if he doesn't eat, drink or consume for a whole month, the maximum for the whole year is 1,000 yuan.

There are salary increases, but 80 years ago, the maximum increase was ten yuan at a time. From then on, his monthly salary is about one hundred yuan now.

Excluding expenses, annual income is clear at a glance.

Therefore, Xiao Jin knew that even if he didn't tell him, the old man could roughly estimate how much savings he had.

Thinking clearly in his heart, Xiao Jin will naturally not be pretentious when Xiao's father offers to help.

But he will keep his word and pay back the money he borrowed from his family, so as to avoid conflicts between the brothers one day.

"up to you."

Father Xiao said angrily.

"dad…"

Xiao Jin's eyes were filled with guilt: "It's all my son's fault. I'm sorry that I have to help you solve the trouble for such a grown man."

“It’s only natural for me to help my son, there’s no need to act like this.”

Father Xiao stared.

The corner of Xiao Jin's mouth twitched: "..." He was admitting his mistake and saying he was sorry. Why was he so disgusting?

“Don’t mention the child in front of your mother, otherwise your mother will rush to identify the child and cause trouble.”

Father Xiao warned.

Hearing this, Xiao Jin nodded and said "Yeah".

Father Xiao: "You should also be careful in your compound over there and don't show off your flaws in front of the child. According to his age, the child should be taking the college entrance examination soon, right?"

Xiao Jin nodded again: "Yes."

Father Xiao: “Now that I know it, I have to pay more attention, so as not to distract the children and affect their studies.”

“I know what’s appropriate.”

He had doubts before, but he never once thought about what to say to the child, nor did he think about trying to talk to Comrade Luo and Comrade Jiang. He could see the child growing up healthily, and that was enough!

Back to Feng’s house, Feng Lu was very happy. She could receive 20,000 yuan in one fell swoop. Don’t let the money come in too fast!

It's not that Feng Lu is short-sighted, it's that in this day and age, anyone whose family has a household worth ten thousand yuan will definitely arouse the envy of many people.

Furthermore, although Feng Lu has never been short of money since she was a child, she has never been short of money, but she suddenly had ten thousand or twenty thousand in her hand. Even if she married Han Bin, even if Han Bin was the big boss, he would give him a lot of money every month She had pocket money, but she wasn't so generous as to spend ten thousand or twenty thousand.

I will give you one thousand and eight hundred yuan to survive.

But then again, it is still the early 1980s, and people's annual income and consumption levels are very low. They often hold 1,800 yuan in their hands, which is indeed not a small amount.

“You seem to be in a good mood. Did you go out and encounter something good?”

Seeing Feng Lu come back, Fang Su asked casually.

“Yes, something good happened to me.”

With a hint of pride on her face, Feng Lu looked at Fang Su and returned to her room.

“Luo Yanqing…”

Lying on the bed, Feng Lu crossed her legs and swayed. At this moment, she thought of Luo Yanqing again, and couldn't help but think to herself:

"Luo Yanqing, don't you care about Luo Minghan and Luo Mingwei very much? You would rather be a cuckold than say they are your children in front of others. In that case, I will satisfy you. However, when I get the money, I will Luo Minghan and the others are coming, don’t blame me!”

She doesn't have the leisure and love to adopt an orphan by her side. Besides, she has children of her own, and they are already in their teens. She doesn't need to worry about eating, drinking, and diarrhea. It can also bring benefits to her. Wouldn't it be better to keep it by your side?

…

Jiang Li drove Mingrui and the three dumplings back to the compound. She didn't take much rest, so she accompanied Cai Xiufen to cook in the kitchen. In the living room, Mingrui sat on the sofa and watched the three dumplings playing, but he I'm actually thinking about something in my mind.

This is the voice of Captain Jiang.

"Um?"

After regaining consciousness, Mingrui raised his eyes and looked at Captain Jiang who was sitting next to him: "Is there anything you want me to do, grandpa?"

Hearing this, Captain Jiang shook his head and said, "Did something happen to you outside?"

Mingrui gave a negative answer without thinking. He didn't want Captain Jiang to be upset.

"You are still a child. No matter what problems you encounter that cannot be solved, you can talk about it at home. Grandpa and grandma can't help you, but your mother can definitely help you come up with a solution."

Mingrui felt warm in his heart after hearing Captain Jiang's words. He raised the corners of his lips and nodded lightly: "Yes."

“Big brother, big brother, Guoguo can also help you~”

As Guoguo's voice dropped, the dumplings and glutinous rice **** immediately raised their voice. The two brothers straightened up and expressed seriously that they could also help the eldest brother Mingrui.

The curve of the corners of Mingrui's mouth became more and more obvious, and his eyes were filled with smiles: "Thank you. If I need help someday, I will definitely tell you."

Supper is sweet potato polenta with big meat buns, a plate of fried shredded potatoes and a plate of homemade tofu. However, in order to supplement the nutrition of the three dumplings, Cai Xiufen also steamed a large bowl of egg custard and shared them among the three little guys.

“Mom, the food you and grandma cook is very delicious, why is there nothing missing from the food I cook?”

After eating and drinking, Mingrui went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, Mingwei went to help, and Minghan was responsible for wiping the dining table clean, placing the dining table and bamboo baskets against the wall, and then sat on the sofa in the living room, sitting on his Cooking felt aggrieved towards Jiang Li.

“To improve your cooking skills, cook more meals during the holidays and you won’t be disappointed.”

With a smile on his face, Jiang Li said, "In addition, you should regard cooking as a kind of enjoyment, and with full love for your family, the food you make will definitely be delicious."

…”

What Jiang Li said was funny to Minghan, but she was obviously telling the truth. She was full of love for her family, and at the same time she regarded cooking as a kind of enjoyment. Even if the final product is not satisfactory, her family will praise it. , for myself, after enjoying the process of cooking, my body and mind will definitely be happy.

However, Minghan's head didn't turn around for a long time. He thought for a while and asked Jiang Li: "Is cooking a kind of enjoyment?"

"Is not it?"

Jiang Li smiled and raised his eyebrows.

Minghan shook his head instinctively: "It's enjoyment, enjoyment. Whatever my mother says is right."

The three dumplings looked on and snickered.

Minghan asked Jiang Li again: "If you cook with love for your family, you will definitely be able to make delicious meals?"

  "Yes!"   Jiang Li responded with a smile.

“Mom, are you sure you didn’t trick me? Are you so particular about cooking?”

Minghan was bitter and resentful. Before Jiang Li could say anything, the sound of glutinous rice **** sounded: "Second brother, second brother, you just said that everything mom said was right. Why are you doubting what mom said now?"

"No no."

Minghan waved his hands repeatedly: "Your second brother, I just find it strange."

Tangyuan: "When I grow up, I will definitely be able to cook delicious meals. Second brother, do you know why?"

Looking at Minghan, Tang Yuan’s eyes were full of seriousness.

Minghan likes to play tricks, so he makes glutinous rice **** to match: "I don't know, my second brother is a fool and can't figure it out."

“Second brother, you are right. You are not a fool. In Tangyuan’s eyes, my second brother is very smart!”

Tangyuan comforted her brother Minghan, and then said in a sweet voice: "Mom just mentioned that you can make delicious meals with full love for your family, and I, Luo Mingchen, love my family the most. Well, when I grow up, I will cook with my full love for everyone. In this case, second brother, do you think the food I make will not be delicious? "

Without thinking, Minghan blurted out: "No."

The next moment, he felt like he was being tricked by his three-and-a-half-year-old brother.

Seeing him stunned, Tangyuan covered his mouth and smiled.

The same goes for Guo Guo.

Tuanzi curled the corners of his mouth.

Jiang Li, Captain Jiang and Cai Xiufen laughed out loud.

After returning to his thoughts, Minghan stood up and picked up the glutinous rice balls: "Why do you think you are so smart?!"

The food is made with full love for the family. In their family, even if the food has shortcomings, as a family member, no one can say it is not delicious.

well! Such a simple truth, why didn't he figure it out earlier?

Hold Minghan's neck, Tangyuan laughed out loud: "Second brother is very smart, I am just a little clever!"

The night has completely fallen. After washing, the three dumplings have gone to sleep. Even Captain Jiang and his wife have gone back to the room and lied down on the bed.

“Then I’m going to bed, good night, mom!”

Ming Wei whispered to Jiang Li in the master bedroom, and then returned to her room lightly.

Not long after, Mingrui knocked on the master bedroom door: "Mom, are you asleep?"

He felt really depressed. If he continued like this, it would be difficult to concentrate in class, which would lead to half the effect of listening to the class, or even not listening to anything at all.

Originally he didn't want to speak out what was on his mind just because he was afraid of the consequences, but some things could just be ignored as if they had never happened. And since he had doubts in his heart and was worried that something about his life would be exposed someday, it was actually It's better to ask mom for an idea.

Yes, in Mingrui's heart, Jiang Li was already his mother, not his stepmother. He sincerely accepted Jiang Li as his mother, and he was determined that he would never recognize the so-called biological mother.

“No, come in.”

Jiang Li's gentle and smiling voice came out the door.

Mingrui opened the door, walked in, and then closed the door.

"On the way back from Xi's house, I saw that you were worried. I wanted to ask you, but I thought that you are an older child and have your own secrets. Although my mother is an elder, she must respect you first. I think so Wait, mom didn’t ask, just wait for you to come to me when you want to say something.”

Pointing to the bed and motioning for Mingrui to sit down, Jiang Li smiled and said, "Are you going to tell your mother what's on your mind now?"

"Um."

Mingrui nodded.

“Tell me, what kind of thing has troubled my dear boy?”

Jiang Li had a gentle expression and a smile on her face. She looked intently at the handsome young man sitting in front of her.

"mom…"

Mingrui's eyes immediately turned red when he made the sound.

"Why are you crying? Be good and don't be afraid. No matter how difficult it is, mom will find a way to help you solve it."

Hold the young man's hand, Jiang Li patted it and gave him comfort.

“I’m scared, Mom, I’m scared that I’m not dad’s child!”

The things he had been holding in his heart finally came out. Mingrui couldn't control it anymore, and tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.

Seeing this, Jiang Li hurriedly handed the boy a blue and white plaid handkerchief: "Hurry up, wipe it, you are almost an adult, you can't let a little girl like Guo Guo lose her golden beans."

Then she asked: "How could you have such an idea? Did someone say something nonsense in your ear?"

Mingrui shook his head. He didn't use Jiang Li's handkerchief, but wiped the corners of his eyes casually.

“Since no one is whispering in your ears, why would you...”

Jiang Li was puzzled.

“When I was in primary school…”

Mingrui did not hide anything. He told him that he had discovered that he and Xiao Jin looked alike. At the same time, he told his thoughts over the past few years. At the end, he said:

"In that compound this afternoon, I accompanied my younger siblings, Xiaoyu and Xuanxuan for a walk. Almost everyone in the compound was startled when they saw me. After I walked some distance away, I vaguely heard something They mentioned the Xiao family and the name 'Xiao Jin'."

Speaking of this, Mingrui paused and then said: "The Feng family also lives in that compound, Mom... I doubt that I am really not my father's child. If my father knows about this, I don't know if he can bear it. ,

But in my heart, no matter whether I am my father’s biological son or not, I only recognize my father as my father and you as my mother! Even...even if my dad doesn't want me anymore, I'm still his son, still the son of you and my dad, but I...but what I'm most worried about is my dad..."

No matter how hard he held back his tears, Mingrui was ashamed and gave up on himself: "Mom, why did that woman want to harm my dad? If she didn't like my dad and didn't want to marry him, she could have stopped being with my dad, and she but…"

Mingrui really couldn’t say anything else.

Jiang Li's thoughts now drifted to when Mingrui was still young, or to be more precise, to the time when she worked at the TV station. She remembered that Wu Yue once mentioned in front of her that Mingrui looked like Director Xiao.

What did he say at that time?

It seems that there are many similar looking people in the world, and I have no other ideas.

Similarly, regarding Minghan and Mingwei's life experience, she said the same thing, believing that the rumors said that Minghan looked like the father of a female classmate in Ji Ji's class, but they were just similar.

Although she later thought about it and told herself that no matter what Minghan and Mingwei's life experience was, they were all her children.

But now she just thinks that woman Feng Lu is ridiculous!

How can you treat people like monkeys?

If Minghan and Mingwei were born together with her current husband during her marriage to Luo Yanqing, this person's conduct would undoubtedly be terrible, but if even Mingrui is not Luo Yanqing's biological child, Feng Lu , it can be called a model of bad conduct, even despicable and shameless!

Thinking of this, Jiang Li felt very sorry for Luo Yanqing and her man.

Before he was with her, once the three children under his knees were confirmed to be not his, would he be able to withstand the blow?

At the same time, Jiang Li was very conflicted.

Mingrui and the twins are just children. They were born in Feng Lu’s marriage to Luo Yanqing. As far as the three children themselves are concerned, what’s wrong with them?

But from Luo Yanqing's perspective, if the three children really have nothing to do with Luo Yanqing, it would be a shame for Luo Yanqing to explain it.

"mom…"

After not hearing a sound from Jiang Li for a long while, Mingrui couldn't help but call out.

"fine."

Helping the young man wipe the tears on his face, Jiang Li collected her thoughts and said, "Don't worry, sometimes blood does not mean anything. Mom will tell you the worst case scenario. Even if you are not your father's biological child, mom believes There won’t be any changes in our family, do you understand what mom means?”

Mingrui nodded and shook his head.

“What mom means is that you have to believe in your dad. He is a mature and steady man, and he will never judge the relationship between your father and son that has been established for more than ten years based on the so-called blood relationship.”

Jiang Li's clear eyes were full of determination: "You have been your father's child since you were born. Your surname is Luo and you are the eldest son of our family. Mom believes in your father and believes that he will not push such an outstanding son like you out of the house! "

Mingrui: "My dad...doesn't he really care about me?"

Hearing this, Jiang Li did not answer immediately, but asked: "What is your father's biggest concern?"

Mingrui: "At work, my father basically spends his time on his scientific research."

Jiang Li: "It seems you still know your father very well!"

Mingrui: "As long as I can remember, my father rarely goes home on vacation. However, since Mom came to this house, my father has obviously changed. He will take the initiative to take vacations and stay with you to do things with you, even on vacations. There are more times.”

“You brat, you’re looking for a beating for how dare you make fun of your mother and me!”

With his beautiful eyes widened, Jiang Li casually patted the young man on the arm.

“I’m not joking, Mom, I’m telling the truth.”

Mingrui twitched the corners of his lips. He wanted to laugh, but couldn't. He said, "I can see that my dad cares about you. Of course, I care about you too. Minghan and Weiwei do the same."

Mingrui's eyes gradually became moist again: "I have been remembering things for a long time. Even now, I still vaguely remember something that happened before I was three years old... That woman liked to pinch me and pinch me.

She often leaves me alone at home. She is very bad and not worthy of being a mother at all. Then she suddenly disappeared, and my dad hired three nannies to come to our house to take care of me and my younger siblings.

They were all pretty good at first, but it didn’t take long for them to have dirty hands and feet, and they abused me and my younger siblings. Until Mom came to our house, you raised us as your own children. No matter whether my dad was at home or not, you were always kind to us, Mom..."

Standing up, Mingrui bowed deeply to Jiang Li: "Thank you! Thank you for treating Minghan Weiwei and I as your own children, loving us, teaching us, and caring about us. I will never forget your kindness to us. , you are our brother and sister’s biological mother!”

“You brat, why are you talking so sensationally?”

Jiang Li couldn't help but feel sore eyes as she listened. She smiled and scolded the boy: "Don't be sensational anymore. You are my mother's great son. If it makes me lose my gold, don't blame me for complaining to your father!"

Before Mingrui could speak, Jiang Li snorted coldly and continued: "I always thought you were a talker, but I didn't expect that I discovered you are a talker today. Boy, are you really good at pretending?"

Then catch the insects. . .
