Lu Yiwei had not been home for a long time.
Since the start of the fight against SARS, he had only come back twice, and each time he stayed for one night before rushing back. His son, Lu Lang, was almost three months old, but the time he spent with him was less than a week. Thinking of this, he felt ashamed.
Fortunately, he met a good wife. Fan Chunfang had never been like other women who kept calling him all day, crying and asking him to come home. Never. Even when she called him, it was out of concern, telling him to eat well, take care of his health, and not to worry about the family. Which woman was willing to stay alone and not want a man to accompany her? But a man needed a career.
Fan Chunfang seemed to be used to it, because that was how her family was. Her father was too busy to go home, and she spent more time with her mother since she was a child. Now, the same situation had extended to her and her son, and she felt somewhat helpless.
She desperately hoped that Lu Yiwei could be transferred back so that he could stay at home with them, but … it seemed to have become a luxury.
Since she had chosen this man, she had chosen her whole life.
Back in Jiangdong, Lu Yiwei's horizons were suddenly broadened as he looked at the bustling streets. After a long time, he went into the ravine. Outside the door was the mountain, and when he looked up, it was also the mountain. He was like a frog at the bottom of a well.
The closer he got to his home, the more excited Lu Yiwei felt. He was eager to go home, and was eager to see his wife and son. He looked at his watch, and it was already past eight o 'clock in the evening. He guessed that they had already eaten. Even so, he went to the supermarket to buy meat and vegetables, milk powder, and other baby products, and rushed home with all the bags.
When he got downstairs, Li Ermao wanted to send Lu Yiwei up, but he refused. He said considerately, "You should go home too. You haven't been back for a long time, right? Go to Black Mountain on Monday, and I'll find a way to get there myself. "
Before leaving, Lu Yiwei threw a big bag into the car and said, "Bring it back for your family."
Li Ermao was a little touched. He pursed his lips and nodded without saying anything.
After sending Li Ermao off, Lu Yiwei was about to go upstairs when he suddenly heard someone calling him from behind. He turned around and saw that it was Xu Lei.
Ever since Xu Lei's father, Xu Shousong, had done that, the Fan family had no further contact with the Xu family. They even hated them to the bone. Even if they met on the road, they would just brush past each other and ignore each other. Fan Rongkui, on the other hand, was a macho man. When they met, he even nodded slightly. After all, they lived in the same neighborhood. They would see each other all the time. There was no need to make their relationship so awkward. Besides, he had done nothing wrong. It was his duty to conduct a reasonable investigation of problematic comrades.
But Sun Chunyun couldn't. When they saw each other, they couldn't help but want to go up and give them two slaps. In the past, the two families were so close, but now they were like strangers. This knot in their hearts would never be resolved in this lifetime.
Fan Chunfang was the same. He and the Xu family had become mortal enemies. Xu Lei came to apologize many times, but no matter how many times he knocked, the door would not open. Once, Sun Chunyun couldn't hold it in any longer. She opened the door and poured a basin of water on Xu Lei's body. Xu Lei had good self-restraint. He didn't argue with Sun Chunyun. He silently turned around and left.
Lu Yiwei also had a bad opinion of the Xu family because of this, but he didn't show it so obviously. Especially towards Xu Lei. He always felt that this person was different from his father. He was a real man of flesh and blood. Especially when the son of the Provincial Procuratorate's Director caused havoc in Black Mountain County. If it wasn't for Xu Lei's help, it would have been difficult to settle the matter.
After Xu Lei saw Lu Yiwei, he was a little restrained. Lu Yiwei, on the other hand, was very generous. He smiled and said, "Are you going out or going home?"
Xu Lei looked down at his toes. He raised his head and said, "A buddy asked me to go out for a drink. I bumped into you as soon as I left. Do you want to go together? I just happen to have something to say to you. "
Lu Yiwei pointed at the things on the ground and said, "I just got home. I don't think I can go tonight. How about another day?"
Xu Lei didn't force him. "Alright. When you have time, I'll treat you."
"It doesn't matter who."
In an instant, the two were speechless. Lu Yiwei knew what Xu Lei was thinking. He stepped forward and patted his shoulder. "Xu Lei, don't feel burdened. It has nothing to do with you. We are still the same as we were before. Chunfang can't get over it right now. She will slowly get over it in the future. "
Xu Lei put his hands in his pockets. He shrugged and smiled bitterly. "Yiwei, I could have stopped this, but I … sigh."
"Yes, I know you won't do that." Lu Yiwei said, "Alright, don't think too much. When we have time, let's sit down and have a good chat. You can go now."
Lu Yiwei's magnanimity touched Xu Lei. He reached out his hand and said, "Yiwei, you are better than me. I'm really convinced today. In the past, I thought I was better than you. I even looked down on you. Why should you marry Chunfang? Now I've thought it through. It's true. "
Lu Yiwei clasped his hands and said, "There is no comparison between men in terms of excellence. It should be said that we each have our own strengths. Your talent and knowledge is something that I will never be able to catch up to in this lifetime. Let's not discuss this anymore, it's meaningless."
"Alright. You can go now. I'll call you another day."
"Okay."
Lu Yiwei carried his bags upstairs. As soon as he reached the second floor, he heard the sound of crying coming from home. His heart warmed up and he couldn't help but speed up his pace.
"Wow! Lang Lang, look who's back. Do you know him? "Fan Chunfang heard the door open. She stood up with her son in her arms and said happily.
Strange. When her son saw Lu Yiwei, he immediately stopped crying. Lu Yiwei put down his bags and rushed forward to hug his son.
"Have you washed your hands? Go, go wash your hands first. "
Lu Yiwei was stunned. He obediently went to the bathroom to wash his hands. Ever since the SARS outbreak, everyone had suddenly become obsessed with cleanliness.
Lu Yiwei hurriedly washed his hands and rushed out to hug his son and kiss him. At first, Lang Lang looked at Lu Yiwei with his eyes darting around, but after being attacked, he burst into tears again. Fan Chunfang quickly hugged him and said, "Your son almost doesn't recognize you."
Lu Yiwei said in shame, "Chunfang, it's been hard on you."
Fan Chunfang smiled and said, "Of course it's been hard. How do you plan on rewarding me?"
"How do you want to reward me?" With that said, Lu Yiwei stood up and hugged Fan Chunfang from behind. He buried his head in her face and kissed her crazily.
"Hey hey hey, you hooligan. Your son is watching." Fan Chunfang pretended to push him away and said with a grin.
Lu Yiwei was a little impatient. His body was burning. He whispered, "How long will it be before my son sleeps?"
Fan Chunfang looked at her watch and said, "He just woke up. It will probably be one in the evening before he sleeps."
"Ah?" Lu Yiwei suddenly sat down on the sofa and lay there with his last breath.
Seeing Lu Yiwei in this state, Fan Chunfang suddenly laughed out loud. "I was lying. Look at how anxious you are. He will sleep in half an hour. Quick, get me a diaper. Aiyah, I'm covered in urine …"
Lu Yiwei immediately went to the bedroom to get a diaper. He clumsily changed his son's diaper. Fan Chunfang watched from the side. Her heart felt warm. This was like a complete family. She said, "I couldn't tell that a County party committee secretary would do such a thing. Should I get your county television station to report on this? Hehe. "
Lu Yiwei deliberately said, "I would even dare to invite Central TV over. In my own home, there aren't so many rules. Let me make a correction again. I am in charge of the County party committee, not the County party committee secretary. "
"Alright, I got it!" Fan Chunfang suddenly heard Lu Yiwei's stomach growling. She said anxiously, "Yiwei, have you not eaten?"
"I've eaten a little. It's fine."
"Come, carry our son. I will cook for you." Fan Chunfang handed her son to Lu Yiwei and turned to the kitchen to cook.
It was said that when a man takes care of a child, it will only last for a while. After carrying Lu Yiwei for a while, his back was already aching. Looking at Lang Lang's mischievous look, he suddenly thought of Xiao Yu. His heart suddenly turned heavy.
He had not visited his daughter, Xiao Yu, for a long time. He was too incompetent as a father. They were both biological children. One enjoyed the warmth and care of a big family, while the other lacked a father's love. This was something he could never get over in his life.
After Fan Chunfang finished cooking the noodles, she saw Lu Yiwei sitting there in a daze. She immediately saw through his thoughts. She walked over and said, "Yiwei, the day after tomorrow is Xiao Yu's birthday. Do you remember?"
Lu Yiwei was stunned. He quickly calculated. As expected, it was indeed Xiao Yu's birthday. If not for Fan Chunfang's reminder, he would have forgotten.
Fan Chunfang continued, "I wanted to give you a surprise, but I will tell you. I plan to hold a special party for Xiao Yu. I have arranged everything. As for how to celebrate, it will be kept a secret for now. "
Hearing that Fan Chunfang was still thinking about his daughter, Lu Yiwei was very touched. He stuttered and kept saying, "Thank you, thank you …"
"What are you thanking me for? You are busy with work. It is only natural for me to help you with the housework." Fan Chunfang said, "You don't have to blame yourself. I think Xiao Yu will understand."
"Sigh!" Lu Yiwei sighed and said, "I have let Xiao Yu down. No matter what I do, I can't make up for the trauma in her heart. It was all caused by me."
Fan Chunfang comforted, "It's all in the past. Don't think too much. It's not too late now. From now on, as long as you treat her well, she will still have a wonderful childhood, right? "
"En." Lu Yiwei nodded and said, "Chunfang, you won't have any thoughts about it, right?"
Fan Chunfang squinted her eyes and said, "If I had any thoughts, I wouldn't have mentioned it in front of you. What are you thinking about? I have thought about it. The house we bought will be left for Xiao Yu. What do you think?"
"…"
At this moment, Lang Lang started crying again. Fan Chunfang stopped the topic in time and said, "Hurry up and eat. I will coax the child to sleep." With that said, she carried the child into the bedroom.
