Rebirth of Black Belly and Growing Up

September 16, 1979.

Tomorrow is the birthday of his daughter Liu Xi. Although the living conditions are difficult and materials are scarce, Lu Min still wants to make a birthday cake for her baby daughter.

The ingredients for making birthday cakes were definitely not available in Haidong Farm, so she went to Dinghai County to buy them, hoping to find what she needed here.

After spending a whole morning shopping for large and small bags, I finally bought all the materials and went to squeeze in the bus. There were not many cars going to Haidong Farm that day, and it only took about two hours to get one. There were many stops along the way, so I squeezed in the bus.

There are a lot of people. In this era, there is no queue to get on the bus. People are fighting for seats on the bus.

It depends on strength and eyesight. If you line up to take the bus in an orderly manner in this era, you will never have a seat or a car, because you will not occupy a place on a crowded bus, even if your front foot is on the bus.

In the car, my back legs were hanging, and the car had already moved away by this time.

If the car didn't fly away, someone would even climb up and sit on the roof.

If it was Lu Min ten years ago, she would definitely not squeeze into the bus like this with a bunch of people with mud on their feet and clothes that look like dust. They are not much better than beggars. But sometimes life can

To hone people to the point where they don’t even recognize themselves.

When you are surrounded by such people, your thoughts will be affected unconsciously. This is how Lu Min was affected! She thought like this. It is only in the dead of night when there is no noise and no daughter.

Only when she was naughty would she read novels such as "Othello", "The Count of Monte Cristo" and "Drift" and live her world.

Her world is one of drinking coffee, listening to serenades, occasionally having a dessert, and going back to a friend's dance party on the weekends.

But now? She feels that she is living purely for the sake of living, with no goals, and wants to live like a zombie. Although Liu Jiasheng was very kind to her during the marriage and was almost obedient, she knew that now she was like a zombie.

A rose that has lost its nutrients is quickly withering until it withers and dies.

Suddenly, she staggered and was pulled to the ground, and a woman squeezed past her. Before she could argue with the woman, the door was closed and the bus roared away.

Looking at the bus whizzing away, she burst into tears. She really didn't know whether it was because of her grievance or the pain from twisting her foot just now.

At this time, a pair of hands appeared in front of her. Lu Min looked up with tears in her eyes and was stunned for a moment.

Are you dreaming? How come the person in the dream appears in front of you?

"I haven't seen you for almost ten years, and you still cry like you were when you were little."

"Brother Dongyu, is it really you?" Lu Min handed over her hands to those big hands. But at the moment when she handed them over, she thought that her hands were completely different now from those ten years ago.

It was rough. She didn't want to expose such an ugly hand to him, so she quickly wanted to take it back. However, how could the man give her this opportunity?

"I have wanted to hold your hand for ten years, Lu Min, and I will never let you go. Never again." Fang Dongyu frowned and said firmly.

Although she was a little embarrassed, Lu Min did not struggle. She got up from the ground, and Fang Dongyu picked up her items scattered on the ground one by one.

"Does anyone have a birthday?" He turned around and asked after seeing the items he picked up.

Lu Min nodded. "It's my daughter's birthday tomorrow."

She promised to wait for him, but she still broke the appointment after all. She felt extremely embarrassed when she said this again. There was still a faint pain in her heart. She was already the first to get married, but she obviously knew that she had not yet

Forget him, even if he is the one dreaming about in the dream, how can he forget it?

Then, her tears kept flowing.

Fang Dongyu didn't speak, he just pulled her along, and Lu Min followed all the way. Neither of them spoke. But the tears in her eyes never stopped.

He walked into a state-owned hotel, asked for a private room, and threw a few ten-yuan Chinese coins to the waiter. Then Fang Dongyu closed the door to isolate the waiter from the room, then leaned down desperately and kissed him.

The tearful person also completely frightened Lu Min. However, she was in a daze for two seconds. She closed her eyes without resisting and responded to her.

Even if she was unruly, even if she was mean, she really didn't know how to reject him. She felt that her dead heart was resurrected bit by bit because of his appearance, but she knew that even if it was for

He was resurrected, but it was only short-lived. Not to mention whether he had a family after so many years? Her body was already filthy, and she felt unworthy of him.

"Why? Why did you come so late? Why didn't you come eight years ago? Why?" As soon as he let go of her, Lu Min roared and hit him until her hands dropped tiredly.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but now we have time. You see, we are all still alive, alive and well, with a lot of youth. Come with me to the United States, to the free world you long for most, and we will start from scratch."

Fang Dongyu said.

"Brother Dongyu, I'm married and my daughter is already six years old. You're late." Thinking of this, Lu Min's tears fell again.

"But you don't love him. In my opinion, you don't love him enough. You still love me, don't you?" Fang Dongyu said confidently without hesitation.

"We still have time to start everything from scratch."

Lu Min shook his head in pain: "I can't be so selfish. Jia Sheng has sacrificed too much to be with me. Moreover, I have proposed divorce to him several times, but he was reluctant. I'm afraid that once I leave, he will

Do something stupid."

"Minmin, if you said you love him today, then I would leave immediately. But now you say you are afraid that he will do stupid things. His life is life, and what about your life? Love is two-sided, and you can't do it because of him.

To live your life at the expense of your own. We have wasted ten years living just for ourselves.”

"Live for yourself."

She broke up with Fang Dongyu and returned to Haidong Farm. Fang Dongyu's words were still echoing in her mind for a long time. Can she live for herself? Can she leave the home where she has lived for ten years without any scruples?

She used to argue about divorcing Liu Jiasheng because she felt that the love Liu Jiasheng gave her was a burden. But now that she really wants to leave, she is hesitant again.

To be honest, Liu Jia Sheng is a good man. For her, he did not hesitate to break up with his family, and turned from a very promising young man into an abandoned son of the family. She was the one who caused him trouble, but now she is leaving him.

, doing so is completely morally untenable.

But should we let such a reckless life go on? No, she is not willing to do so! She and Fang Dongyu obviously love each other, but they want to separate. The first time they separated, they were forced and there was no other way. But if they lose this opportunity, they will separate again.

, she knew that she would lose Fang Dongyu forever, and she would no longer even have him in her dreams.

The next day, she made a beautiful birthday cake. Liu Jiasheng had to work overtime again, so she was the only one to accompany her daughter to celebrate her birthday.

"Xiao Xi, if mother wants to go somewhere far away, would you like to go with her?" Lu Min asked her daughter tentatively.

"Where is mom going? Is dad going too?" Xiao Xi asked curiously with her eyes wide open.

"If dad doesn't go, it will be just mom and you. Maybe there will be an uncle who is very good to you in the future. Do you want it?"

"No. If dad doesn't go, I won't go anywhere." Liu Xi said firmly, her little face wrinkled up, and she was about to cry.

At this time, the doorknob turned and Liu Jiasheng came in from the outside.

"dad!"

Before Lu Min had time to comfort her daughter, Liu Xi's small body had already pounced on her.

"Oh, my good daughter, are you happy to hear that your mother made you a birthday cake today?" Liu Jiasheng asked, holding Liu Xi with one hand and putting down his briefcase with the other.

"I am happy with the cake, but unhappy with my mother's words." Liu Xi said seriously.

"Didn't you say you wouldn't come back for dinner tonight and would have to work overtime?" Lu Min stepped forward and asked.

"My daughter's birthday only comes once a year, and I can't run away from work. I can go there after eating." Liu Jiasheng stepped forward and was about to kiss Lu Min, but the sensitive Lu Min avoided Liu Jiasheng's kiss by closing the door.

Kiss. ​​A flash of alertness flashed in Liu Jia Sheng's eyes. When Lu Min returned to his seat, he was gone again. His face was peaceful and happy.

"What did mom just say that made you unhappy?" Liu Jia Sheng asked.

"I said it nonsense, Xiao Xi, please forgive mom!" Lu Min said quickly. If Liu Xi were to tell her, Lu Min knew that her chances of escaping would be greatly reduced.

"Dad, this is a secret between my mother and I. I think it's better for you not to know. It will be very sad." Liu Xi thought for a moment and then spoke.

After helping Liu Xi celebrate her birthday, Liu Jiasheng went back to work overtime again, and Lu Min had already made up her mind that if Liu Xi didn't want to leave, then she wouldn't take her away.

She took out a stack of money from a locked box at home. The money was the compensation the Lu family received for transferring their last share to the state. Back then, the Lu family's textile factory was the leading representative of Chinese textile companies.

Her great-grandfather Lu Quanrong was the first businessman in China to introduce foreign machinery and ushered in a new era of Chinese textile enterprises.

Later, civil strife and changes in the national system led to the emperor and his courtiers. The Lu family did not want to leave the land of their ancestors and the foundation laid by their ancestors, so they stayed in China. Later, they donated half of the textile factory, originally thinking that they could keep it.

But later, the other half of the shares had to be sold to the state.

She wrote a letter and put it in Liu Xi's closet together with the money. She hoped that Liu Jiasheng and her daughter would understand her after seeing this letter. She didn't expect their forgiveness!

She pressed one last kiss on her daughter's face and got into her daughter's bed.

"Mom, why did you sleep with me tonight?" Liu Xi woke up in a daze and asked.

"Today is my baby's birthday. Mom will sleep with the baby. Do you like it?"

"I like it, Mom, I will always love you." Liu Xi hugged her mother and fell asleep again, while Lu Min just watched her daughter sleepless all night. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it.
