Ordinary people's rice bowl

Chapter 14 The Twins
Let’s say that Secretary Wang Yanqing left the wedding banquet, and accompanied by Sister Ma, got into the car where the driver Xiao Li came to pick him up. Within 2 minutes of getting in the car, there was a dull snoring sound in the car.There was nothing to say all the way, and when he arrived at the door of Secretary Wang’s house, Sister Ma woke him up. Secretary Wang stopped snoring abruptly, raised his arms and stretched his waist, and then got out of the car slowly. Xiao Li and Sister Ma got out of the car in a hurry Wanting to help, Secretary Wang said repeatedly: "No, no! We haven't drunk to that level yet."

Wang Yanqing's home consisted of two bungalows plus a small courtyard. There was a hall at the gate of the courtyard. One side of the hall was the kitchen, and the other was a small warehouse. Although there were only two main rooms, the two main rooms were actually built The area is also more than [-] square meters, which is divided into three bedrooms and a living room, and equipped with a bathroom. At that time, only the leaders could share a bungalow like this.

Wang Yanqing is a very affectionate person. Although he has been working in the unit directly under the district for almost a year, because his lover still works in the bank in the county, he did not ask for a house in the new unit and still lives in the county. In this small courtyard, every holiday, as long as there is no important business in the unit, he still returns to this familiar county town to spend the holiday time with his family.

The big iron gate was half-hidden, and when Sister Ma pushed it lightly, the gate opened with a "squeak". As soon as he entered the gate, Secretary Wang's lover Yu Jingxiang came out of the house when he heard the movement, "You Look, I drank too much again, and I trouble you to take him back! Come and sit in the house!" Yu Jingxiang complained and greeted Sister Ma and the driver.

Sister Ma knew in her heart that the polite words of the leader's wife should not be taken seriously, so she waved her hands and said, "Thank you, let the leader rest well. We have something to do when we go back, so don't bother me!" The driver nodded in agreement, and followed Sister Ma withdrew together and didn't mention it since returning.

After resting all the way, Wang Yanqing was mostly sober from the wine, and while he was sitting on the sofa drinking tea, he was still thinking: "Why does the bride I saw at the wedding look so much like my daughter? In silence, he looked sideways at his beloved wife who was sitting there reading a book.

"Where's my daughter?" Wang Yanqing asked.

"I went out after lunch. I said it was a class reunion today and I made an appointment to go to the movies." Yu Jingxiang replied without taking her eyes off the book.

"There will be nothing!"

"What's the matter? It's not the first time this classmate has watched a movie!" Yu Jingxiang was obviously taken aback by Wang Yanqing's nonsensical words, and raised her head to stare at Wang Yanqing who was sideways.

"I have something to tell you. The new daughter-in-law I saw at the wedding today looks so much like our daughter! She looks like a single person!" Wang Yanqing revealed his eyes searching for the answer.

"It's inevitable that people look alike, plus you drink too much and your eyes are dazzled, it's not surprising!" Yu Jingxiang responded lightly.

"Hey! I wanted to marry my daughter to this kid, but I didn't expect our daughter to marry. This kid married someone who looks so similar to our daughter. It's also fate!" Wang Yanqing sighed.Although these words were just a casual sentence, they evoked an unspeakable past in Shizuka.

Speaking of her daughter Wang Jing, she was not born to her. In the first year after her marriage with her original husband, Li Faxiao, she was pregnant with a child. She never thought that she would be pregnant for three months. Intensive labor led to a miscarriage, and there was no pregnancy in the next two years. When I went to the hospital for an examination, the doctor said that it was already a luxury to conceive a child again.Li Faxiao's father was a small captain of the local guerrillas, but later died in a battle. His mother was betrayed by traitors and killed by devils. Li Faxiao was only seven years old when he was taken to the guerrillas by his comrades and sent to the rear of the Eighth Route Army as a The children's team members were assigned to work in the public security department after liberation. They were also the only child of a martyr, but their stomachs were not up to par, and they could not give birth to a boy and a half girl. For this reason, I didn't know how many times I cried secretly, feeling sorry for myself The child, even more sorry for her husband, even had the idea of ​​committing suicide.Li Faxiao felt sorry for her, and kept advising her that she could adopt one if she couldn't have one, and there was no need for her to be one of her own. During her most depressing days, one night, her cousin, who worked in the county hospital, came to discuss with her. It is said that a woman in a neighboring county hospital gave birth to a girl. Because she was too poor to support her, she wanted to give it away. Did she bring her home?When Lao Yu heard this, he immediately agreed to adopt him.This child was really gratifying. When he was just one month old, he was white and fat, especially juicy. However, when the child was two years old, something unexpected happened. Li Faxiao was shot and killed by a criminal suspect one night while performing official duties.When I heard the bad news, I cried to death, but the dead have passed away, and the living still have to live. Of course I understand this simple truth, so I took my mother who lived in the countryside to take care of her daughter, and went to work in obscurity every day. , to bear the living expenses of the whole family.

In this way, more than a year passed. On that sunny day, Wang Yanqing welcomed the olive branch extended to him. At that time, Wang Yanqing was a scholar who had just walked out of school. Facing such a scholar , coupled with his infertility, immediately refused.Unexpectedly, Wang Yanqing was not discouraged, and there was always a sense of stubbornness in the things he was sure of.Every holiday, Wang Yanqing doesn't go back home, but always comes home to help look after the child, showing special love for his daughter, and saying "Auntie" every time, calling his mother like his own mother. As a man with a heart, Wang Yanqing's enthusiasm finally touched his frozen heart, and he accepted this enthusiastic man who was two years younger than him.

Wang Yanqing is a very affectionate person. After marriage, he didn't mention the fact that the two had no children. To him, it seemed that it didn't matter whether he had his own children or not. The important thing was to have a family relationship. Every time he comes back from a business trip, he will always bring back local specialties for his daughter to make her happy, and from time to time bring back some earthen cloth, small jewelry, etc. for himself to please him. Wang Yanqing's love exceeds his own. The imagination captures my own heart that is slowly thawing.The fact that the daughter was adopted has never been mentioned to Wang Yanqing, but now hearing Wang Yanqing say that the bride at the wedding looks so much like his daughter, a kind of inexplicable panic suddenly arises, could it be... …

Yu Jingxiang didn't dare to think about it anymore, she could only think silently, when would she go to see this bride who looked like her daughter with her own eyes.

According to local customs, Da'an never lost a moment of idleness a few days after his marriage, busy with socializing, such as "two for three", "entertaining busy people" and so on.The festive day was wonderful for the two couples. Daan was different. After the joy, Daan did not indulge in the honeymoon, but was thinking about how to thank the old leader who came to attend his wedding in person despite his busy schedule.Although I didn't follow the leader for a long time, having the leader come to my wedding raised my self-worth and added some face to my family. Face is a great honor for this small village. I helped myself back then, but now I can't say when I will still be able to help myself.

During his work as a correspondent, he was surrounded by leaders, and he was also a class leader at school. Daan developed a good habit of planning everything.After a busy day, I often sit there alone in a daze.Just after breakfast that day, Huiqin saw that Daan's eyes were dull, and slowly asked: "What are you thinking? Just tell me if you have something on your mind, and see if I can help you?"

"It's not a big deal. You see, we have hired the busy people when we got married, but I was wondering if I should show my old leader so that he can take care of us in the future!" Da'an said with a smile. Looking at Huiqin with hopeful eyes.

"Of course we should go and have a look. The transportation is inconvenient, how should we go?" Huiqin expressed a bit of embarrassment.

"As long as you agree, today happens to be Sunday, and we're leaving now!" Da'an felt relieved, got up and walked to the side room, he rolled out the bicycle he just bought before marriage, "Hurry up and get ready, we're leaving now!"

When Huiqin saw the bicycle he was pushing, she immediately understood.He went into the back room, took a small handkerchief, walked out in an instant, and stood in front of Daan.

"There is nothing to prepare, we can leave now!" Huiqin urged.

Da'an looked at his beautiful wife in front of him, wearing a white shirt on her upper body, and the two breasts were really like two big steamed buns on his chest. With these two points, I don't know how many heroes will be fascinated. When Huiqin saw Da'an staring at his chest Looking at the eyes in front of her, her cheeks flushed, and she said coquettishly, "What are you obsessed with?"

"No, no, I'm not obsessed with anything! I just think you look really good in this outfit!" Da'an said quietly.

"Mom, we're going to the county seat, and we won't be back for lunch." Da'an yelled at his mother who was washing dishes in the kitchen, then pushed the cart out of the gate of his house, and drove towards the county seat with his wife.

After the two of them got into the car, Da'an set off on the "New Long March" with all his strength. The endurance he had cultivated in the police academy was really used today. Although the weather was as hot as a steamer, it was nothing to Da'an. This is much more polite than the training in the past. When he led the classmates in the climbing competition, it was a scorching sun, and there were ten kilograms of sandbags tied to their legs. After a bitter experience, let alone this brand new bicycle with a flat dirt road today!
The two of them didn't talk much along the way. For Da'an, if he said a word, it seemed that he would lose and get No.1. Even if Huiqin asked him something, he would just say "um" and finish the matter. He only wanted to get to the county seat as soon as possible.

"Half a hundred miles is half ninety." When he was still a few miles away from the county seat, Da'an obviously felt a little smoke coming from his throat. He knew that he was in such a hurry that he didn't take care of it. After taking a sip of water, he slowed down a little, turned around and asked Huiqin who was sitting on the back seat of the car: "Are you thirsty?"

"It's really a little bit, then you should pay attention to whether there are water sellers or pressurized wells on the side of the road, let's drink a few sips before leaving!" Da'an said in a considerate tone.

"Okay, if there are watermelon sellers, that's fine too!" Huiqin seemed to be talking to herself.

"There must be one ahead!" Da'an understood that selling watermelons on the roadside was simply a dream, and he didn't see them along the way, let alone when he came to the county town, but this was the effect of looking for plums to quench his thirst, and he felt that it seemed to be relieved a lot.

After entering the county seat, the two discussed going to the leader's house, they couldn't go empty-handed, they needed to buy something!In this hot weather, Daan first thought of watermelon, and bought two big watermelons, so he never had an empty hand. In this hot weather, giving watermelon will never be rejected by people.

When the two of them knocked on the door of Secretary Wang's house, it was already past ten o'clock in the morning. Yu Jingxiang still walked towards the door as usual, and shouted: "Just open the door and come in!"

Da'an gently opened the door, smiling: "Hello, Auntie! Do you still recognize me?"

"I know, I know, isn't this Xiao Wei!" Yu Jingxiang immediately recognized the immature baby face who came to her house for the first time. Later, every time her old king drank too much, he would always see this familiar face. The face sent back his own old king, although the immaturity on the face has been lost, and it has become much older, but it has not changed the original appearance, how can you not recognize it?
"Why do you still buy things when you come to the house? Is this a stranger?" Yu Jingxiang looked at the two big watermelons in Da'an's hand, and asked strangely.

"I didn't buy anything, I just wanted to see the old leader!" As he spoke, he pouted backwards, "I also brought a newcomer, my partner Huiqin!"

Yu Jingxiang understood, "Come in, don't stand outside the door!" Immediately took two steps and leaned out of the door.

Huiqin, who was pushing a bicycle outside the gate, was about to turn in. The two met each other, and Yu Jingxiang really blinked in front of her eyes, and blurted out: "She really looks the same as our daughter!" Huiqin was a little embarrassed by what she said, and Da'an also felt a little embarrassed.

"Come in, come in quickly!" Yu Jingxiang felt inexplicably kind because of her resemblance to her daughter.

"Old Wang, look quickly, who is here!" Yu Jingxiang shouted towards the door.

Wang Yanqing, who was reading a book in the room, heard the shout, got up and opened the screen door, and was stunned!
"You, why are you here in such hot weather!" Secretary Wang was a little surprised.

"Secretary Wang, we really don't know how to thank you for coming to our wedding!" Da'an responded politely while putting the watermelon behind the kitchen door.

"Isn't this outrageous? I'm also sympathetic to my subordinates!" Wang Yanqing said with a serious expression.

"Do you think this bride looks very similar to our Wang Jing?" Wu Yanqing pointed to Hui Qin, and said to Yu Jingxiang who was standing beside her.

"If you stand together, you really can't recognize each other. The one from my family has gone to the classmate's place again. When you come back later, you two are having a good time." Yu Jingxiang said very easily and naturally.

Yu Jingxiang thought in her heart that this was a good opportunity to prove her daughter's identity. Whether her daughter and the bride were twin sisters could be confirmed based on their age. I learned a few tricks by sight.

Entering the living room, Daan noticed that in a bamboo basket by the door, there were three rather large watermelons. Obviously, they were also picked up by the person who was looking for the leader. Yu Jingxiang greeted Daan and the two newcomers to sit down. .

"You guys talk first, I'll go wash a watermelon to cool you off!" As he spoke, he picked up the top watermelon from the bamboo basket and pushed the door towards the faucet by the kitchen wall in the courtyard.

Just as Yu Jingxiang turned on the faucet, she heard her daughter's yelling from outside the gate.

"You come to my house, what are you afraid of! Are you afraid that someone will eat you?" The daughter was favored since she was a child, and she has developed a carefree character since she was a child, and her voice has never been whispered.

Yu Jingxiang turned off the faucet, and held her breath to listen to a thin man's voice.

"I'm not ready yet, I don't know what to say!"

"It's not for you to speak, so why do you need to prepare? Hurry up!" The daughter's words seemed a little hasty.

Although she didn't speak much, Yu Jingxiang understood that her daughter often went out to meet her classmates recently, maybe she was in a relationship, and now she brought her home.I couldn't help but "thump" in my heart, "You don't come early, you don't come late, my little ancestor, why did you bring it back at this time!"

While she was in a daze, her daughter stood in front of Yu Jingxiang holding a young man by her hand.

"Mom, this is my classmate Liu Yongcheng!" Wang Jing said with a mysterious expression.

"Hello, Auntie!" Yongcheng seemed a little embarrassed, and greeted Yu Jingxiang with a trembling voice, and there was no more to say.

Yu Jingxiang knew in her heart that this daughter's classmate was most likely her daughter's lover, but she couldn't point it out if her daughter didn't mention it.

The voices in the courtyard startled the people in the house.

"Please come in and eat watermelon together!" Wang Yanqing greeted outside.

When Wang Jing heard her father speak, she pulled Liu Yongcheng into the room.Before the screen door was closed, Yu Jingxiang entered the house with a watermelon in her arms, took out a watermelon knife from under the dining table, and skillfully cut it into several small pieces on the table.

Wang Jing who entered the room saw the guests sitting on the sofa, her expression was obviously shocked by Hui Qin in front of her, and she was really confused: "This, isn't this me?"

Liu Yongcheng stood there in a daze, rubbing his hands together, not knowing what to do!
Da'an also widened his eyes when he saw Wang Jing. "It's so similar!" Although Da'an had been to Wang Yanqing's house many times, and most of them would leave after coming, he had never met Secretary Wang's daughter, so now seeing that she looks so much like his newlywed wife, really A little indescribable surprise.

Huiqin was already mentally prepared for what she said earlier, and hurriedly greeted Wang Jing who came in: "My sister is back!"

"Sister, this must be my real sister!" Wang Jing's unrestrained mouth immediately said the truth.

"Look at you, it's not big or small." Yu Jingxiang blamed slightly.

"Okay, let's stop making trouble. Let me introduce my classmate first. His name is Liu Yongcheng. He was my classmate in high school. He is now working in the county switch factory!" Down.

Then Wang Jing herself took a small chair and sat beside Huiqin.

Everyone humbled each other and took watermelon to eat.

"Sister, what do you belong to?" the outspoken Wang Jing asked while eating.

"I was born in June of [-], what about you?" Huiqin knew in her heart that she was a pig, but she didn't have the nerve to say it in front of so many people, so she told her date of birth.

"We are the same age, but the birth date is two months younger than yours. I was born in August."

Yu Jingxiang couldn't help muttering in her heart, what Wang Jing said was only the month of birth in her household registration, the actual month should also be June!When applying for household registration, Li Faxiao was delayed for two months because of his official duties. Judging from the time, it was really born in the same month. As for whether they are twin sisters or not, it is still a mystery.This matter needs to be investigated to find out, and the cousin of the year must be confirmed, but the cousin passed away due to illness a year ago, and there is only one person who can confirm it, and that is Huiqin's mother.If you really want to prove it, you have to think about it in the long run.

"Bring a basin of water, let everyone wash their hands!" Wang Yanqing waved to Shizuka and said.

Wang Yanqing's words interrupted Yu Jingxiang's thoughts, so she got up and took the washbasin to catch water from the faucet outside the door.

Da'an briefly reported to the old leader about his study and job hunting in the past few years, and expressed his gratitude to the leader for taking care of him back then. At the same time, he repeatedly expressed that he might cause trouble to the leader in the future.

Back then, Wang Yanqing paid too much attention to Da'an like a loving father to his own son. If Da'an's mother hadn't resolutely disagreed, Da'an might have become Wang Yanqing's godson long ago.

Wang Yanqing felt that the love and care given to Da'an back then was due. Hearing Da'an's kind words, Wang Yanqing took Da'an's hand and said earnestly: "Young people should make continuous progress in order to be successful. The future world is yours. , I will continue to support you in the future!" In the end, I deliberately protracted you a bit, although Wang Yanqing said it to Da'an, but he also said it to the three young people on the side.It's just that he knew that he might not be able to listen to his daughter alone, so he said this encouraging word in front of these four young people.

With everyone gathered together, time seemed to pass quickly, and it was approaching noon in the blink of an eye. Wang Yanqing wanted Yu Jingxiang to prepare lunch for everyone to eat here. Da'an saw that it was getting late, so he got up to say goodbye: "We are coming to the county for a while. It was not easy to travel, but when I came at noon, I happened to meet two classmates who said that they would wait for us in the restaurant at noon to get together, so we would not have dinner at home." Da'an made up an irresistible reason, with Huiqin left the gate of Wang Yanqing's house, and the two of them were going to the department store in the county town, thinking of buying something to take home.

After leaving the house, Daan asked Huiqin who was sitting in the backseat, "You two are the same age, and you look so similar, like twin sisters. It's really possible! What do you think?"

"How is it possible, I don't know her at all! How could it be twin sisters?" Although Huiqin said this, she couldn't tell why. When she saw Wang Jing, she really felt an indescribable feeling. Intimacy, so the phrase "sister is back" was literally blurted out.

"You have to ask my mother about this to understand!" Huiqin added.

The two went to the restaurant to have a casual meal to fill their stomachs, and then went to the county department store to buy some goods, and did not return home until the sun was about to set.

When Huiqin returned home, she often thought that she and Wang Jing were so similar, that they might be connected. Although she couldn't explain it clearly, she thought that she must get rid of this knot from her mother.So, taking the opportunity of going back to her natal family, she specifically told her mother that Secretary Wang Yanqing's family had a girl who looked the same as him, and explored whether this girl had a family relationship with him?Unexpectedly, when she probed, Huiqin's mother took Huiqin's hand and revealed a secret that had been buried for more than twenty years.

"It turns out that I work with your father in a steel factory. Your father is the small leader of the unit. I do some temporary work in the unit. My life is still worry-free. When your brother Wu Jiang was four years old, one day, your father hugged you. A baby girl told me, this baby is so pitiful, we adopted it, and I will be a companion for my son in the future, so I will take care of you two at home full-time, but after two years of good times, your father fell ill After he left, I took you brother and sister back to my hometown. No one in the village knew about these things, and I never mentioned them to anyone. You are old and sensible. , child! It’s hard for me to tell you about this, after all, I don’t know where your biological mother is! As for who sent it to your father, I don’t know either!” Huiqin’s mother said here, wiping Wipe the teardrops from the corners of his eyes.

Huiqin's mother went on to say: "It happened to be the most difficult period for the country. It was not easy to give birth to a child. Let alone supporting two, even one. It is difficult for ordinary families to support. After all, it is too difficult. It is too difficult for adults to save their lives." Difficult! If it is the same as you think, it is twin sisters, if the family is poor and difficult to support, for the sake of the children, you can only choose to give it away to save your life!"

When Huiqin heard this, she immediately felt that it was unlikely that she and Wang Jing were twin sisters. Given the situation in Secretary Wang's family, it was by no means the kind of family that was too poor to support a child, so how could she give it away?Besides, there are so many people who look alike in this world, which only means that two people are destined. If there is a chance, wouldn't it be better to be a godsister?
