The excitement and joy of the Spring Festival has just passed, and people are still immersed in the warmth and joy. But for Su Wen and Wang Qianqian, their lives are about to usher in a new stage. After the three-day holiday, Su Wen arranged for Wang Qianqian to go to the steel rolling mill hospital to wait for delivery.
On the second day after work resumed after the New Year, Su Wen learned that Xu Damao was going to show a movie in the factory in the afternoon. After having lunch with his wife and mother-in-law at the factory hospital, Su Wen rode his bicycle straight to Lou's house.
Su Wen rode his bicycle and galloped along the familiar road, feeling eager and full of anticipation. The afternoon sun shone on his body, coating his advancing figure with a layer of golden light.
Soon, he came to the front door of Lou's house. He took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, and knocked on the door. The door opened quickly, and it was Lou Tan who opened the door.
"Auntie, let me see Xiao'e and the child."
When Lou Tan saw that it was Su Wen, a friendly smile immediately appeared on her face, "It's Su Wen, come in quickly, come in quickly." She turned sideways and let Su Wen in.
Su Wen walked into the room and immediately saw Lou Xiao'e sitting on the sofa and the baby in her arms. His heart was instantly filled with warmth and tenderness, and all fatigue and anxiety disappeared at this moment.
"Xiao'e, I'm here." He walked to the sofa and said softly.
Lou Xiao'e raised her head and saw Su Wen, with an expression of surprise on her face, "Su Wen, you're here." She stood up with her child in her arms, welcoming Su Wen's arrival.
Su Wen looked at the baby in Lou Xiao'e's arms, so small and fragile, but full of vitality. He reached out and gently touched the baby's little face, feeling an unprecedented happiness and satisfaction.
"What's his name?" Su Wen asked.
Xiao'e smiled and replied, "Su Wenda, it's a boy. Xu Yunfan is the child who is going to be handed over to Xu Damao. He is still upstairs. He hired a wet nurse to take care of him. He pays 30 yuan a month for food and accommodation.
Before the two of them could continue talking, Lou Bancheng's voice came from the study on the second floor, "Su Wen, come here."
Su Wen's heart tightened when he heard Lou Bancheng's voice. He looked at Lou Xiao'e and saw her smiling slightly, as if to comfort him and tell him not to worry.
"Su Wen, you go up first. My dad may have something to ask you." Lou Xiao'e said softly.
Su Wen nodded, turned around and walked to the study on the second floor. He came to the door of the study and knocked gently.
"Come in." Lou Bancheng's calm voice came from inside.
Su Wen opened the door and walked in. The study room was filled with the faint fragrance of ink and books. Lou Bancheng was sitting at the desk, holding a book in his hand, with no emotion or anger on his face.
"Sit down." Lou Bancheng pointed to the chair opposite.
Su Wen sat down as instructed, "Uncle Lou."
Lou Bancheng put down the book in his hand and shot his sharp eyes at Su Wen through his spectacles, as if he wanted to see through his heart. There was silence in the study, only the wind outside the window gently blowing the curtains, bringing a little bit of coolness.
"Su Wen, I came to you today because I want to talk to you about Xiao'e and the future of the child." Lou Bancheng's voice was deep and powerful, and every word seemed to have been carefully considered.
Su Wen's heart sank suddenly. He didn't know what decision Lou Bancheng would make, and he felt a little uneasy.
Lou Bancheng quietly observed Su Wen, his eyes revealing a profound wisdom. After a while, he spoke slowly: "Su Wen, I sent people to investigate what you said last time. Although it has not been confirmed, there are still many clues. I plan to take my family to the south. Don't let me go. Come with us. After saying that, Lou Bancheng stared at Su Wen.
"I'm afraid I can't. My family is all here. Uncle Lou is ready. When do you plan to leave?" Su Wen was a little surprised at Lou Bancheng's efficiency.
"No, it will take some time. It's time to make a decision."
"Su Wen, you are a smart man. I believe you can understand why I want to do this." Lou Bancheng's voice revealed a sense of helplessness and determination, "This decision is not made lightly, but for the safety of my family And in the future, I have to do it.”
Su Wen nodded and expressed understanding, "Uncle Lou, I understand your difficulties. Don't worry, I will forget what we said today when I leave the Lou family." Su Wen still has a strong desire to survive.
"Very good, Su Wen. With your words, I feel relieved." A relieved smile appeared on Lou Bancheng's face.
…………
After leaving Lou's house, Su Wen breathed a sigh of relief. Lou Bancheng still put a lot of pressure on him. He rode his bicycle slowly back to the rolling mill hospital.
As soon as he arrived at the hospital, he saw Wang Qianqian sitting beside the bed, gently stroking her belly with a look of motherly love on her face. Seeing this scene, Su Wen felt a trace of guilt in his heart. He was really a scumbag.
"What's wrong? You look serious." Wang Qianqian raised her head and looked at Su Wen and asked.
Su Wen walked over, sat on the edge of the bed, and held Wang Qianqian's hand. "It's nothing. It's all about the factory. You don't have to worry. I'm supported by Wang Aiguo."
Xu Damao hurried to Lou's house after showing the movie at the steel rolling mill and took Xu Yunfan and his nanny back to the courtyard. Lou Xiao'e continued to stay at Lou's house to recuperate on the pretext that she was infected with the cold. Xu Damao didn't care much either. All he cared about was the child he was holding. This child could prove that he was a real man.
Xu Damao returned to the courtyard with joy. As soon as he entered the door, he shouted: "Come and see, come and see, I have a son! The Xu family has an heir!" He hugged Xu Yunfan as if he were holding a baby. Walking around the yard, he was afraid that others would not know that Xu Damao also had a son now.
The wet nurse followed him, looking helpless. She knew her mission was accomplished, and the next step was to wait for the right time to leave.
Silly Zhu was originally happily playing with the children at home with his wife, but when he heard Xu Damao's shouts, his mood suddenly changed. He slowly walked out of the room, looking at Xu Damao's proud look, with mixed feelings in his heart. Xu Damao has always been his mortal enemy, and the two have not dealt with each other since childhood. Now, Xu Damao has a son, which undoubtedly gives him another opportunity to show off.
Silly Zhu's wife looked at his face and gently pulled his sleeve, "Sinzhu, don't be angry. We also have our own children, who are no worse than him."
Silly Zhu looked back at her and forced a smile, "I know, I just can't stand his proud look."
Xu Damao also saw Sha Zhu at this time. He deliberately walked up to Sha Zhu with his child in his arms and said provocatively: "Si Zhu, look at how cute my son is! Do you have one?"
Silly Zhu was irritated. He stared at Xu Damao, "Are you great if you have a son? I tell you, my son will definitely be more promising than your son in the future!"
Xu Damao laughed loudly after hearing this, "Then let's wait and see! I just want to ask Silly Zhu where your son is? Where? Haha."
