The Age of Rebirth: The Stepmother of the Sick Beauty Just Wants to Salt Fish

Chapter 1259 What are you doing so provocatively?
Being able to get acquainted with the Xi family, having a pair of capable adoptive parents, and having the Song family behind him, even if something happens to the child in the future, it will not be their turn to the Xiao family to help.

What's more, from a moral point of view, the Xiao family chose not to recognize their children for the sake of face, so they are doomed to be ineligible to appear in each other's life.

Sighing secretly, Father Xiao felt deeply ashamed of his eldest grandson living outside, but he couldn't act emotionally, so the only thing he could do was to ensure that Feng Lu and their Xiao family would not cause trouble for the child.

As for the old things of the Feng family, if he had time, he would have a good chat with the other party to ensure that Feng Lu would not make a fuss about the child's life experience.

In case a good child is harmed by her as an illegitimate child.

"Dad is right."

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

After a slight pause, Xiao Jin adjusted his mood and said, "I'll take care of the money."

Father Xiao: "It's [-], not [-]. Even if you can get it out, you won't be able to live well in the future?"

"I have savings."

He has been working not for a year or two, but for more than ten years, and he 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.

"Economically we are separate."

In order to avoid misunderstanding by Xiao's father, Xiao Jin explained: "It was brought up by her before marriage."

"How do you calculate the expenses of the family and the education expenses of the children?"

Father Xiao felt it was unbelievable, and he was a little dissatisfied with Shen Yun, the eldest daughter-in-law, so he heard Xiao Jin say: "She can't go home several times a year, and every time she comes back, it's only a few days. Responsible……"

After a long time of hearing nothing, Father Xiao asked, "Why didn't you say anything?"

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

In fact, there is nothing to share, all the expenses of the family are paid by him, and Shen Yun just 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 a family.

And he wasn't going to set his sights on a woman's salary.

Furthermore, two of the three children in the family belong to his blood, so it is the responsibility and obligation of a father to raise his own children, and he will not be overwhelmed by this matter.

Of course, as a stepfather, he also has 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 go to school abroad.

In other words, he didn't spend much on the education of his stepson Ji'an.

"You and Xiao Shen's husband and wife relationship is so divided? Or is it that she didn't put her heart into your family at all?"

Father Xiao really didn't understand how the eldest son and his wife got along.

Financial independence, children's education expenses are equally shared, what is this?
"Dad, I'm no longer young and I know what I'm doing, besides, I don't think it's okay for a husband and wife to be financially independent."

Xiao Jin smiled, 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 five thousand, and the rest will be paid by the family."

Xiao Jin hesitated: "This..."

He wasn't the only son in the family, so he paid [-] yuan to help him settle his troubles. If his younger brother Xiao Shen found out about this, would he think too much about it?
As if seeing what he was thinking, Father Xiao's face darkened: "You are the only one who thinks too much. The second child is not as burdensome as you, and the second child also has an income of his own."

"Either...or if I borrowed it from home, I'll pay it back later when I have the money on hand."

Since he was transferred to work in Beicheng, Xiao Jin's salary and treatment are good, but no matter how good the treatment is, it costs about 1000 yuan a month. Even if he doesn't eat, drink or consume for a whole month, he can earn up to [-] yuan a year.

There is a salary increase, but before 1980, the increase was at most [-] yuan at a time, and since then, his monthly salary has been around [-] yuan.

In addition to expenses, the annual income is clear at a glance.

Therefore, Xiao Jin knew that even if he didn't say how much savings he had, the old man could roughly estimate it by himself.

Thinking clearly in his heart, Xiao Jin would naturally not be hypocritical when Father Xiao offered to help.

But he will do what he says, and repay the money he borrowed from his family, so as not to cause conflicts between the brothers one day.

"up to you."

Father Xiao said something angrily.

"dad……"

Xiao Jin's eyes were filled with guilt: "It's all my son's fault, I'm sorry that I need you to help solve the troubles at such an age."

"It's only natural for me to help my son, so I don't need to be gross here."

Father Xiao stared.

The corner of Xiao Jin's mouth twitched: "..." He was admitting his mistake, saying sorry, why is he so gross?

"Don't mention the child's matter in front of your mother, lest your mother rush to recognize the child and cause trouble."

Father Xiao exhorted.

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

Father Xiao: "You should also be careful in your compound. Don't show your feet in front of the child. According to his age, the child should take the college entrance examination soon, right?"

Xiao Jin nodded again: "Yes."

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

"I know the measure."

He was suspicious before, but he never once thought about what to say to that child, nor did he think about what to say to Comrade Luo and Comrade Jiang. He could see that child growing up healthily, and that was enough!
Back at Feng's house, Feng Lu was very happy, and she could get [-] yuan in an instant. Don't get the money too fast!

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

What's more, although Feng Lu has never been short of money since she was a child, she has [-] to [-] yuan in her hand, which has never happened before. She had pocket money, but she wasn't generous enough to spend [-] or [-].

Give it a thousand and eight hundred.

But then again, it is still the early 80s, people's annual income and consumption levels are very low, and they often hold 800 yuan in their hands, which is indeed not a small sum.

"You seem to be in a good mood. Did you meet something good when you went out?"

Seeing Feng Lu came back, Fang Su asked casually.

"Yeah, something good happened to me."

With a smug look on her face, Feng Lu took a look at Fang Su and went back to her own room.

"Luo Yanqing..."

Lying on the bed, Feng Lu swayed Erlang's legs up and down. At this moment, she thought of Luo Yanqing again, and she couldn't help but think to herself:
"Luo Yanqing, don't you care about Luo Minghan and Luo Mingwei? You would rather wear a cuckold and say that they are your children in front of people. If that's the case, I'll satisfy you. But, when I get the money , and ask Luo Minghan and the others to be by your side, don't blame me!"

She doesn't have the care and love to adopt an orphan by her side. Besides, she has children of her own, and they are all in their teens, so she doesn't need to worry about eating, drinking, and messing around, and it can bring her benefits. 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, and accompanied Cai Xiufen to cook in the kitchen. In the living room, Mingrui sat on the sofa and watched the three dumplings play, but he I'm actually thinking about something.

"Rui Rui."

This is Captain Jiang's voice.

"Ok?"

After regaining his senses, Ming Rui looked up at Captain Jiang who was sitting next to him: "Is there anything Grandpa wants me to do?"

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

Ming Rui gave a negative answer without even thinking about it, he didn't want Captain Jiang to be bothered.

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

Hearing Captain Jiang's words, Ming Rui felt warm in his heart. He raised the corner of his mouth and nodded lightly: "Yes."

"Big brother, big brother, Guoguo can help you~"

As Guoguo's milk cavity fell, Tuanzi and Tangyuan raised their milk voices, and the two brothers stood upright, expressing seriously that they could also help the big brother Mingrui.

The curvature of the corners of Mingrui's mouth became more and more obvious, and his eyes were filled with smiles: "Thank you, one day my brother needs help, I will definitely tell you."

Dinner 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 it with the three little ones.

"Mom, the food you and grandma cook are very delicious, why do I owe something for the food I cook?"

After eating and drinking enough, Mingrui went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, Mingwei went to help, Minghan was responsible for cleaning the dining table, and placed the dining table and bamboo baskets against the wall, and then sat on the sofa in the living room. Cooking felt wronged by Jiang Li.

"To improve your culinary skills, cook a few more meals during the holidays, and you won't be disappointed."

With a gentle smile on his face, Jiang Li said: "Besides, you have to treat cooking as a kind of enjoyment, and with love for your family, the meals you make will definitely be delicious."

"..."

Jiang Li’s words were teasing 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 was not satisfactory, her family would still be full of praise. , as far as I am concerned, I enjoy the process of cooking, and my body and mind must be happy.

However, Ming Han didn't turn his head around for a while, he thought for a while, and asked Jiang Li: "Is cooking a kind of enjoyment?"

"Is not it?"

Jiang Li held back a smile and raised his eyebrows.

Minghan shook his head instinctively: "Enjoy it or enjoy it, everything my mother says is right."

Tuanzi San just watched and laughed.

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

"Yes!"

Jiang Li responded with a smile.

"Mom, are you sure you didn't lie to me? Is there such a thing about cooking?"

Ming Han was bitter and bitter, and before Jiang Li could say anything, Tang Yuan's milky voice sounded: "Second Brother, Second Brother, you just said that everything Mom said was right, why are you doubting what Mom said now?"

"No no."

Ming Han waved his hands again and again: "Your second brother, I just think it's weird."

Tangyuan: "When I grow up, I will be able to cook delicious meals. Does the second brother know why?"

Looking at Ming Han, Tang Yuan looked serious.

Minghan likes to play tricks, no, he cooperated with glutinous rice balls: "I don't know, the second brother is an idiot, I can't figure it out."

"Second brother, you are wrong. You are not an idiot. In the eyes of Tangyuan, my second brother is very smart!"

The glutinous rice balls appeased brother Minghan, and then said in a childlike voice: "Mom just mentioned that you can cook delicious meals with full love for your family, and I, Luo Mingchen, love my family the most. Lah, when I grow up, I will cook with my full love for everyone, so, second brother, do you think the meals I make are not delicious?"

Without even thinking about it, Minghan blurted out: "I can't."

The next moment, he felt that he had been tricked by his three-and-a-half-year-old brother.

Seeing him startled, Tang Yuan covered her mouth and smiled.

Guoguo is the same.

Tuanzi curled the corner of his mouth.

Jiang Li, Captain Jiang, and Cai Xiufen laughed outright.

With his mind back in place, Ming Han stood up and picked up the glutinous rice balls: "Why do you think you are so smart?!"

Meals made with love for the family, in their home, even if the meal has shortcomings, as a family member, there is absolutely no one who can say it is not good.

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

Hugging Ming Han's neck, Tangyuan laughed "hee hee": "Second brother is very clever, but I'm just a little clever!"

The night fell completely, and after washing up, all three of the dumplings had already fallen asleep, and even the elders of Captain Jiang had gone back to their room and lay 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 own room with light steps.

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

He felt really uncomfortable. If he continued like this, it would be difficult to concentrate in class, which would reduce the effect of listening to the class by half, and he would not even listen to anything.

Originally, he didn't want to say what was on his mind because he was afraid of the consequences, but some things could be treated as if they hadn't happened if he wasn't afraid, and since he had doubts in his heart, he was also worried that something related to his life experience would be exposed someday, but Why don't you ask your mother for an idea.

Yes, in Mingrui's mind, Jiang Li was already a mother, not a stepmother. He accepted Jiang Li's mother sincerely, and he was determined to never recognize the so-called biological mother.

"No, come in."

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

Ming Rui pushed open the door, he walked in, and then closed the door again.

"On the way back from Xi's house, I saw that you had something on your mind. I wanted to ask you, but I thought that you are an older child and have your own secret. Although mother is an elder, she must respect you first. Thinking this way Then, mom didn't ask, and came to me when you wanted to talk."

Pointing to the side of the bed and motioning for Mingrui to sit down, Jiang Li smiled and said, "Are you going to talk to your mother about your thoughts now?"

"Ah."

Ming Rui nodded.

"Tell me, what kind of thing stumped my eldest son."

Jiang Li looked gentle, with a smile on her lips, she fixedly looked at the handsome young man sitting in front of her.

"mom……"

When Ming Rui made a sound, his eyes immediately turned red.

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

Holding the boy's hand, Jiang Li patted it lightly to comfort him.

"I'm scared, Mom, I'm scared that I'm not Dad's child!"

What was pent up in his heart was finally said out, no matter how hard it was for Ming Rui to control it, tears welled up from the corners of his eyes.

Seeing this, Jiang Li hurriedly handed a blue and white plaid handkerchief to the young man: "Hurry up and wipe, you are almost an adult, you can't drop a golden bean like a little girl like Guoguo."

Then she asked: "Why do you have such an idea? Did someone whisper something in your ear?"

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

"Since no one is chewing tongues in your ears, why would you..."

Jiang Li was puzzled.

"When I was in elementary school..."

Ming Rui didn't hide anything, and told the story that he had discovered that he and Xiao Jin looked alike a long time ago, and at the same time told his mental journey over the past few years. At the end, he said:

"In that compound this afternoon, I accompanied my younger siblings to stroll outside with Xiaoyu and Xuanxuan. The people in the compound were almost taken aback when they saw me. After I walked a certain distance, they vaguely heard They mentioned the Xiao family and the name 'Xiao Jin'."

Speaking of this, Ming Rui paused, and then said: "The Feng family also lives in that compound, mom... I suspect that I am really not my father's child. If my father finds out about this, I don't know if he can bear it." live,

But in my heart, no matter whether I was born to my father or not, I only recognize my father as a father and you as my mother!Even...even if my dad doesn't want me anymore, I'm still his son, I'm still your son and my dad's son, but I...but I'm most worried about my dad..."

Unable to hold back the tears, Ming Rui was ashamed and abandoned himself: "Mom, why did you say that woman wanted to harm my dad? If she doesn't like my dad and doesn't want to marry my dad, she can stay away from my dad, and she but……"

Afterwards, Mingrui was really speechless.

Jiang Li's thoughts drifted back to when Ming Rui was still young, to be more precise, to the time when she was working in the TV station, remembering that Wu Yue once mentioned it in front of her, explaining that Rui looks like Director Xiao.

What did he say then?

It seems that there are too many people who look similar in this world, and there is no other idea.

Similarly, regarding Minghan Mingwei's life experience, she said the same thing, thinking that the rumors indicated that Han resembled the father of a female classmate in the class, but it was just that they were similar.

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

But now she only thinks that woman Feng Lu is ridiculous!
How can you treat people like monkeys?

If Ming Han and Ming Wei were born together with her current husband during her marriage with Luo Yanqing, this person's character is undoubtedly terrible, but if even Ming Rui is not Luo Yanqing's own child, Feng Lu , it can be called bad conduct, even a model of meanness and shamelessness!
Thinking of this, Jiang Li secretly felt sorry for Luo Yanqing and her man.

Before he was with her, once it was confirmed that the three children under his knee were not his, would he be able to bear the blow?

At the same time, Jiang Li was 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 point of view, if the three children really have nothing to do with Luo Yanqing, it would be a shame for Luo Yanqing to explain that Huanghuang.

"mom……"

After not hearing Jiang Li's voice for a long time, Ming Rui couldn't help calling out.

"fine."

Helping the boy wipe the tears off his face, Jiang Li collected his thoughts and said, "Don't worry, sometimes blood doesn't mean anything. Mom will tell you the worst case. Even if you are not born to your father, mom will believe There will be no change in our house, do you understand what mother means?"

Ming Rui nodded and shook his head.

"Mom means that you have to trust your father. He is a mature and stable person. He will definitely not judge the relationship between your father and son for more than ten years because of the so-called blood relationship."

Jiang Li's clear eyes were full of firmness: "You have been your father's child since birth, your surname is Luo, and you are the eldest son of our family, mother believes in your father, and believes that he will not push such an excellent son like you out of the family! "

Mingrui: "My dad...would I really not care?"

Hearing this, Jiang Li did not answer immediately, but asked: "What is your father pretending to be the most?"

Ming Rui: "Work, Dad's thoughts are basically used in his scientific research work."

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

Mingrui: "As far as I can remember, my dad seldom goes home on vacation, but since Mom you came to this house, my dad has obviously changed. He will take the initiative to take vacations, and will accompany you to do things with you, even on vacations. More often."

"Stinky boy, looking for a fight, how dare you make fun of your mother!"

With beautiful eyes staring, Jiang Li casually patted the boy on the arm.

"It's not a joke, Ma, I'm telling the truth."

Ming Rui twitched the corners of his mouth, he wanted to laugh, but he couldn't, and said, "I can see that my dad cares about you very much, of course, I care too, Ming Han and Wei Wei are the same."

Mingrui's eyes gradually became moist again: "I remember things very early, even now, I still vaguely remember something that happened before I was three years old... That woman likes to pinch me,
Often left me alone at home, she is very bad, not fit to be a mother at all.Then she suddenly disappeared, and my dad hired three nannies to take care of me and my younger siblings.

They were all 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, you came to our house, you raised us as your own children, no matter my dad was at home or not, you always treated us well, mom..."

Standing up, Mingrui bowed deeply to Jiang Li: "Thank you! Thank you for treating me and Minghan Weiwei as your own children, loving us, teaching us, and caring about us. I will never forget your kindness to us. , you are the real mother of our brothers and sisters!"

"Stinky boy, why are you talking so provocatively?"

Jiang Li couldn't hold back the tears in her eyes as she listened to the boy, she smiled and said to the young man, "Don't be sensational anymore, you are my mother's big boy, if you cause me to lose the Golden Doudou, don't blame me for suing your father!"

Before Ming Rui could open his mouth, Jiang Li snorted coldly, and continued: "I always thought you were a quiet talker, but I didn't expect to find out that you are a chatterbox, boy, are you really good at pretending?"

　Then catch the bugs. . .
