next door.
"Are the children asleep?"
Hearing Luo Yanqing's footsteps, Jiang Li raised her eyes and looked at the door of the bedroom. Seeing Luo Yanqing nodding, she pretended to be amused: "Every time you come back, Tuanzi and the others stick to you and even tell you bedtime stories." They don’t even look for me anymore, and my heart goes cold just thinking about it.”
"The kids want you to get more rest."
Luo Yanqing's eyes flashed, and he said softly: "I don't want you to work too hard."
"But I think they are closer to you." Jiang Li's tone was still sour: "I obviously spend more time with them than you do, and much more."
"Then I'll talk about them tomorrow."
Picking up the Huanxi underwear and pajamas prepared by Jiang Li, Luo Yanqing smiled and walked towards the bathroom: "If you are sleepy, go to bed first. I'll take a shower."
Jiang Li responded: "I'll wait for you." He still had something to say to her. If he lay down and fell asleep, wouldn't he be in trouble?
With this in mind, Jiang Li sat on the bedside and continued to read the foreign language book about two fingers thick.
Time passed by, and Luo Yan returned to the bedroom after taking a shower. Seeing Jiang Li absorbed in reading, he couldn't help but say: "Reading at night hurts your eyes."
Hearing his voice, Jiang Li's thoughts were pulled back from the page. She clipped the bookmark and put the book on the bedside table beside her: "Waiting for you."
Unless there are special circumstances, she usually doesn't stay up late, whether it's reading or doing other things.
Luo Yanqing sat on the bed and said in a helpless tone: "I know why you are waiting for me."
"It's good to know."
As a result, Luo Yan cleared the towel on his hand, and Jiang Li helped wipe his hair: "It will take a while before your hair is dry, tell me."
"I asked you earlier if I was stupid, remember?"
Turning around, Luo Yanqing met Jiang Li's eyes and took the towel back to his hand. Jiang Li said, "Of course I remember, but I told you that you are the smartest person in our family."
"You!"
Luo Yanqing rubbed Jiang Li's head, his ink-stained wind eyes full of doting and softness, he said: "Actually, I am really stupid about some things..." His expression returned to normal, Luo Yanqing sipped He pursed his lips, remained silent for a moment, and continued: "Luo Mingrui and his siblings are not of my blood."
Hearing this, Jiang Li was stunned for a moment, but his expression showed no other abnormalities.
Luo Yanqing saw this and asked, "Do you think I'm stupid now?"
"How could my man be stupid?" Jiang Li moved her eyes on Luo Yanqing's handsome face, her eyebrows were gentle: "You just put all your energy into your work, so you are inevitably a little negligent about other things. .”
Taking Jiang Li into his arms, Luo Yanqing buried his head on her shoulder: "Actually, I had doubts for a long time, especially after being with you, I felt more and more that nothing happened between me and that woman.
But the reality is that twice in my marriage to that woman I woke up in the morning and was in the same bed with that woman. It was during those two times that Luo Mingrui, Luo Minghan and Luo Mingwei became brothers and sisters...
That woman came to me before you returned to China, and I met with her. At that time, she went straight to the point and said that Luo Minghan and Luo Mingwei were not my children... I asked her what proof she had?
She said that she was the proof, that she wanted to take the two children to identify their biological father, and that Luo Minghan and their biological father was her current husband... I thought it was ridiculous, but I didn't feel too disturbed. "
Jiang Li: "Because you believe what she said?"
Luo Yanqing nodded "Yeah" and said, "She doesn't need to lie in front of me with that kind of thing. In the early years, she could force me to let her go, and force her family to beg me for her life and that of the two children in her belly. Choosing to fake death and abandon her children shows that in her heart, her three children are not important at all.
In this way, after more than ten years, I don't believe that she came to me to take the child back because she missed her child. "
"I don't believe it either."
Jiang Li agreed, and then said: "So she came to you to tell you that Hanhan and Weiwei are not your children. This is indeed not a lie. The reason why she wants to take Hanhan and the others back to her must be related to her own interests."
Luo Yanqing said nothing, which was regarded as acquiescence.
"Why didn't you agree?"
Well, Jiang Li knew the answer, but she wanted to hear it from the man himself.
"The children are very good. Although they are no longer related to me by blood, they have been in my name since birth and have called me dad for more than ten years. I cannot push them away just because of the so-called blood relationship. Especially pushing them to a biological mother like that."
Luo Yanqing let go of Jiang Li. He met her eyes and said in a calm and indifferent tone: "The two people who came to see me today are the woman's father and her eldest brother. They told me that Luo Mingrui is That woman was conceived before I got married, saying that Luo Mingrui's biological father's surname was Xiao..."
Jiang Li: "It's Comrade Shen's husband Xiao Jin."
"How did you know?
Seemingly reading what Luo Yanqing was thinking, Jiang Li said: "Ruirui and Comrade Xiao Jin look exactly like each other. Wu Yue once told me that Ruirui looked like Comrade Xiao. Ruirui was about six years old, so I just smiled and didn’t think much about it.”
Luo Yanqing: "Because there are many people who look alike in this world?"
Jiang Li said "Yeah" and said, "It's not surprising that two people who are not related by blood look like brothers or sisters..."
"You are right."
Luo Yanqing nodded in agreement, and then said: "For money, that woman went to Xiao's house to expose Luo Mingrui's life experience in front of Comrade Xiao's father and Comrade Xiao himself. She wants 20,000 yuan as compensation, otherwise, she will Tell the truth about Luo Mingrui's life experience.
Comrade Xiao's family gave him 20,000 yuan, but he didn't trust the woman, so Comrade Xiao's father went to the woman's father and told the story. "
Jiang Li frowned slightly, and asked, "What is their purpose of coming to you?"
"That woman was sent to the Third Hospital. She will not make an issue about Luo Mingrui's life experiences in the future." After hearing Luo Yanqing's words, Jiang Li was startled at first, and then thought about where the "Third Hospital" was. , couldn't help but "tsk" and said: "They are really cruel."
Luo Yanqing: "I think we should know each other."
Jiang Li: "You didn't say how long you will be locked in there?"
Luo Yanqing shook his head.
Jiang Li: "Then what's their attitude towards the three children?"
"It didn't matter before, it won't matter now or in the future."
Luo Yanqing said emotionlessly. After hearing this, Jiang Li thought for a moment and said, "Does that mean Ruirui and the others don't have to recognize the Feng family as a relative?"
"Um."
Luo Yanqing nodded.
"you……"
Jiang Li opened his mouth and stared at Luo Yanqing, hesitant to speak.
"What's wrong?"
Luo Yan's eyes were clear with confusion.
"Don't you really have any ideas?"
Jiang Li asked what was in his heart.
Luo Yanqing responded without hesitation: "No."
Jiang Li: "Why?"
"There is no relationship between me and that woman, and in more than three years of marriage, we have barely met her a few times."
Luo Yanqing's expression was very calm. After hearing what he said, Jiang Li asked again: "You are a big man, but the three children you raise around you are not yours, so you just..."
"We are just living together. Besides, you are raising Luo Mingrui and the others. I have not contributed much to them except giving my salary to the family. And the three children have been taught very well by you, and they have grown up since they were born. In my name, it doesn’t make any difference whether it’s my biological child or not.”
Speaking of this, Luo Yanqing was silent for a while, and he looked at Jiang Li intently: "The most important thing is, I have you!"
Hearing this, Jiang Li couldn't help but feel hot in his face: "We're talking about you, why did you mention me?"
"I'm just telling my story."
Luo Yanqing looked innocent. After being scolded by Jiang Li, he coughed twice and said slightly uncomfortably: "If you must know what I think, then I won't hide it from you. I'm worried about being laughed at by you." .”
"You didn't tell me for so long because you were worried that I would laugh at you?"
Jiang Li's beautiful eyes widened.
"Yes." Luo Yanqing nodded lightly: "For a normal man, being played like a monkey again and again by a woman is particularly detrimental to male dignity."
"Aren't you a normal man?"
Jiang Li deliberately misinterpreted the man's words at this time.
"Xiao Li, you understand what I mean."
Luo Yanqing's eyes were full of helplessness, and he said: "My marriage to that woman was determined by the leader's work, and there is no emotion. Besides, although Luo Mingrui and the others are not related to me,
But they are good kids, and I see that. What's more, the children respect me as their father. In their hearts, I am their biological father and their father. I really don't need to worry about the word 'blood'.
From another perspective, Luo Mingrui and his three siblings have no blood relationship with me, which also proves that there has never been a substantive relationship between me and that woman. "
After listening to what Luo Yanqing said, Jiang Li didn't know what he meant, but she pretended not to understand: "You seem to be very happy about this?"
"I am indeed happy."
Luo Yanqing didn't feel embarrassed at all: "Except for the two times when I woke up early in the morning and saw her lying on the same bed with me, I have never touched her. Of course, the woman probably didn't want me to touch her."
"I remember you said that when she looked at you, she seemed to be looking at someone else through you. Do you still remember this?"
Jiang Li suddenly asked this question.
Luo Yanqing: "Well, I mentioned this to you."
"If you think about it again, you should think of something. It's best to go through all the people we know in your mind, especially young gay men."
Jiang Li reminded the man.
For a long time, Luo Yanqing's eyes were blank.
Jiang Li continued to remind: "Do you know where Ruirui and his mother went after she faked her death?"
"The moment she signed, her affairs had nothing to do with me, and I wouldn't pay attention to it."
For irrelevant people, he didn't even have the time to talk to them, let alone pay attention to them, let alone the leisure.
Jiang Li: "Xiao Shen, Xiao En's biological father, Comrade Xiao, do you remember it now?"
"What's up with him?"
Luo Yanqing's eyes showed doubts, but also showed some hesitation: "Are you trying to say what is the relationship between that woman and Comrade Xiao?"
"Oh my, you really put all your mind into your work and don't pay attention to other things." Jiang Li was helpless. She shook her head: "Let's put it this way, Ruirui and the others are the people their mother likes." It should be Comrade Xiao. She faked her death and left Beicheng, but in fact she ran to Shanghai to pursue Comrade Xiao."
Luo Yanqing: "How did you know?"
"I guess. I remember that year we went to Shanghai to visit Xiao En. When we walked into the university campus where my aunt taught, we met a man and a woman. The woman seemed to have said something specious to you. Later, we My aunt's family also heard that Comrade Xiao was almost ruined by a woman named 'Melu'..."
Jiang Li didn't say anything further because she saw Luo Yanqing remembering what she said.
"It's her... Judging from the voice, it should be her."
That day, a woman apologized to Xiao Shen on the radio and clarified Xiao Shen's reputation. He heard it.
Jiang Lixiao asked: "Want to confirm? I can ask Comrade Xiao for you."
"Is this necessary?" Luo Yanqing pinched Jiang Li's nose gently and said helplessly: "Want to see your man's jokes?"
"Why do you say that?"
Jiang Li blinked, looking puzzled.
"Your man and I are being treated as a substitute. What you should do most is to comfort my wounded heart."
With eyes full of resentment, Luo Yanqing pointed at the location of his heart.
"Comrade Luo Yanqing, you are so good at it! You all know what stand-in literature is, it's awesome!" Jiang Li suppressed a smile and gave the man a thumbs up.
Holding her thumb, Luo Yanqing sighed, as if "I really can't do anything to you." Then, he asked: "Do Comrade Xiao and I look alike?"
"The eyebrows and eyes are a bit similar, both are cold and cold, and to be honest, your body shapes are really similar, whether you are tall or thin, fat or thin, especially in the summer, Comrade Xiao wears a white shirt and black cuffs while walking on the road , judging from the back, I might admit my mistake!"
After saying that, Jiang Li saw the man's eyes becoming resentful again, and she couldn't help hugging him: "Okay, I'm kidding you. Although your bodies are very similar, I will never mistake my man!"
Luo Yanqing: "Even though you said that, I'm still a little hurt in my heart."
With a "chirp" sound, Jiang Li kissed the man's handsome face and asked with a smile: "What now?"
"better."
Luo Yan's clear eyes were filled with a smile, and he pointed to the right side of his face.
"Okay, I'll satisfy you."
Jiang Li frowned and gave the man a kiss on the right side of his face: "How about it?"
"good."
Luo Yanqing was in a happy mood after receiving loving kisses from his wife and daughter, but how could he easily let go of this rare opportunity to be intimate?
I saw him hugging Jiang Li and giving him a deep kiss. After a while, the two fell on the bed...
I don’t know how much time passed, but the movement in the room gradually stopped.
After cleaning up the two of them, Luo Yanqing hugged his daughter-in-law and placed a light kiss on her forehead.
"I think you can find a suitable opportunity to talk to Ruirui and the others."
"good."
"The children are worried that they are not your biological child."
"Too idle."
"Do you really not know or are you pretending not to know? The children are nervous about you and care about you as a father. It is not a matter of leisure. What's more, the children have to go to school. Apart from resting at home on weekends, where do they have extra leisure time? "
"Luo Mingwei knows."
"..."
Jiang Li was stunned for a while and said, "You'll know when I return to China, right?"
Luo Yanqing: "Yeah."
Jiang Li: "You two are pretty good at holding back things!"
"Angry?"
Luo Yanqing asked.
"What do you think?"
Jiang Li snorted and pinched the soft flesh of the man's waist: "What can't be said as a family? And you and Weiwei hid it from me because you thought I couldn't bear it. ?"
"no."
Luo Yanqing denied it, and then said: "I said I was afraid that you would laugh at me, and I didn't think about how to tell you, but you have to believe me, I have thought about telling you the matter."
"Idiot! Why should I laugh at you?" Holding the man's handsome face, Jiang Li looked at him: "I will only feel sorry for you, and at the same time despise and spurn that woman. Just wait. If she stays in the third hospital, Then everything is easy to talk about, but if you run up to me one day and jump around, I will definitely help you vent your anger!"
Luo Yanqing curled her lips: "Okay, I'm waiting for you to help me vent my anger."
"Be good, I won't let you down."
Touching the man's head, Jiang Li said: "My man is so good, but she is a shameless person, but she uses you as a substitute, makes you a scapegoat, and cuckolds you. It is simply an unforgivable crime." !”
"My wife is so kind!" The smile in Luo Yanqing's eyes almost overflowed: "I feel very happy to be protected by you like this!"
Hearing this, Jiang Li felt goosebumps all over his body: "Nauseous!"
Luo Yan cleared his throat and chuckled.
"What are you doing? Why are you laughing when I say you're disgusting?!"
This man is really getting better and better at talking about love when he opens his mouth. I wonder if she will be embarrassed?
…
Time flies so fast, and all the students in primary, secondary, and kindergarten schools are on winter vacation.
Early that morning, snowflakes started to fall in the air. This was the first snow to fall in the North City since the beginning of winter this year.
The three dumplings, dressed like balls, were so happy when they saw the snowflakes flying that they ran out of the living room and jumped in the scattered snowflakes.
"Aren't you cold?"
Minghan asked the three little guys.
"Second brother, I'm not cold at all!"
Wearing a red ear protection hat, leather boots, a red down jacket, a pure white cashmere scarf around her neck, a mask and exquisite warm gloves, Guoguo really didn't feel cold at all.
Tuanzi and Tangyuan were also fully armed from head to toe, standing on either side of Guoguo as if they were ready to make meat mats for their sister at any time.
"It's snowing today, do you still want to visit your classmates' houses?"
"Second brother, we are going! Today is sister Xuanxuan's birthday. Since we promised on the phone to go to celebrate sister Xuanxuan, we must keep our word, otherwise we will break our promises. This is not good!"
"It's so cold when it snows. If you can't go, let's explain the reason. Your classmates will understand."
"Second brother, do you like letting your friends fly?"
Tangyuan tilted his head and suddenly asked Minghan this question.
"How can it be?!"
Minghan blurted out: "You must do what you promise to others. Your second brother, I never let others down."
"Really? Then why does the second brother want us to let our classmates go?"
Minghan didn't feel guilty as Tang Yuan looked at him with good eyes. He said, "Second brother, aren't you afraid that you will be frozen?"
"As long as we take good measures to keep warm, we won't be frozen. Second brother, do you think we have done well in keeping warm?" Tangyuan pointed at himself, then at Dumplings and Guoguo, then raised a small brow.
Minghan was speechless for a moment.
Tuanzi said at this time: "Second brother, we are going to go. You can't make money by breaking your promises."
Minghan touched his nose and said with a smile: "Okay, if I stop you again, my second brother will become a bad guy. However, you have to agree with our mother before you can go. And how are you going to get there?"
Guoguo: "Mom will drive us there."
"we have a deal?"
Minghan asked Guoguo.
"I'll tell my mother right now." Guoguo walked into the kitchen like a little penguin with her short legs. "Mom, will you send me, fourth brother and fifth brother to sister Xuanxuan's house?"
Jiang Li was cooking when he heard his little daughter's soft and cute voice, and immediately responded: "I will definitely give it to you!" Jiang Li liked the little girl Jiang Xuanxuan, and naturally he would not stop Guoguo from making friends with her.
Jiang Xuanxuan called yesterday and invited Guoguo and Tuanzi Tangyuan to attend her birthday celebration.
The call was answered by Guoguo, and the little girl agreed with the dumplings without even thinking about it.
Regarding this, Tuanzi Tangyuan didn't have any idea. They only knew that their sister was going. As brothers, they had nothing to do at home, so they could accompany them. They couldn't let their sister go to someone else's house alone, which would make them uneasy.
Speaking of which, perhaps because they were born at the same time, the relationship between the three dumplings is really good. They never fight for anything. The older brother will give in to the younger brother and sister. Likewise, the younger brother and sister will take the initiative to give in to the elder brother.
And since they were born until now, the three of them have been almost inseparable.
Minghan: "Mom, shall I accompany Tuanzi and the others?"
"Aren't you bored?"
Putting the fried vegetables on the plate, Minghan picked up the dishes with great eyesight and walked out of the kitchen without waiting for Jiang Li's instructions, and responded: "No."
"Then you come together."
Jiang Li knew that Minghan was worried that something would happen to the three dumplings at someone else's house, but their family members would not be able to know immediately. Therefore, he wanted to accompany the three dumplings to keep an eye on them.
But in Jiang Li's opinion, it's not necessary.
Since little girl Jiang Xuanxuan has invited children to her birthday party, her parents will definitely pay more attention to the safety of all children.
However, the second youngest in the family is worried about her younger siblings. As an open-minded mother, she will not stop her with words.
…
General's home.
Jiang Xuanxuan invited a dozen children to her home for her birthday party, but the middle class invited Guoguo, three dumplings, and Xi Chenyu.
It wasn't because of her good relationship with Xi Chenyu, but because Xi Chenyu heard that Jiang Xuanxuan wanted to invite three dumplings and offered to go to the general's house to celebrate her birthday.
Jiang Xuanxuan had to catch such a straight ball.
reason?
When Xi Chenyu said that, the adults of both families were there, and they were looked at by Xi Chenyu with good eyesight, and Xi Chenyu's face was tense, which made Jiang Xuanxuan's little heart a little scared.
"It's snowing outside."
"I knew!"
"They may or may not come."
"Sister Guoguo said she would come, I believe her!"
It was almost 10:30 noon, and several children had been sent to the general's home by their parents. Some of them were playing with toys, and some were eating snacks provided by the general's elders. They were chattering and laughing. .
Xi Chenyu didn't talk to the children. He and Jiang Xuanxuan stood at the door of the living room, chatting without a word.
"It's snowy and the roads are slippery. It's dangerous for Aunt Jiang to drive here."
"Xi Chenyu! What do you mean by that?"
Then catch the bugs. . .
