Single Mom in the Eighties

Yan Ruxu: "I'm sorry Kangkang, mom didn't tell you the truth, can you forgive mom?"

"Yes," Kangkang nodded without hesitation.

Yan Ruxu then asked: "Can you forgive Uncle Kang? He didn't come back just now on purpose. He was doing very important things far away, which is what the heroes in the movies do. I just returned to Beijing a few days ago, and as soon as I came back, I hurried to find my mother, and when I found out that my mother gave birth to you, my uncle was very happy. He said that as soon as he saw Kangkang, he knew it was his child. He said that Xiaokangkang is cute, lively and sensible. Be polite, he likes, likes, likes."

Little Kangkang blushed, turned his head to look at Uncle Kang, then turned back immediately, threw himself on his mother's shoulder, and buried his face in his hair. Kang Congxin hastily turned his arms around and supported Kangkang's little buttocks with his hands, bearing most of the weight of Kangkang's little body.

Yan Ruxu continued to say in a soft voice: "Uncle Kang said that he wanted to live with Kangkang and his mother forever, and his parents would pick him up and drop him off from school together, take him out to play on weekends, build building blocks with him, and play with him." Fighting, buy delicious food for Kangkang..." Yan Ruxu shook Kangkang's small body and asked, "Do you think it's okay?"

Kangkang didn't speak. After a while, he felt that Kangkang, who was buried in his shoulder, nodded, and said in a childish voice, "Okay."

Yan Ruxu looked at Kang Congxin and nodded to him.

Kang Congxin was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Kangkang, let me hug you, okay?"

Kangkang didn't speak, and nestled in Yan Ruxu's arms for a while, then turned his head, looked at Kang Congxin shyly, and stretched out his little hand.

"Kangkang, my good son, how can you be so good, you are so great!" Kang Congxin was so happy that he hugged Kangkang into his arms. If he was not in the car, he would have hugged his son Take a few turns.

Kangkang lowered his head, grabbed Kang Congxin's skirt with his small hands, and studied the metal zipper on it. Open your mouth and ask: "Then...then me, shall I call you Dad in the future?"

Kang Cong raised his head to look at Yan Ruxu, then lowered his head and answered the child: "Kang Kang can be called whatever you want, you can call me Daddy, or you can call me Uncle Kang like before."

Kangkang's little head nodded, and his little mouth squirmed twice, as if he wanted to pronounce the two sounds of "Dad", but he seemed to be unable to utter the words, so he pushed Kang Congxin: "I want to find my mother."

Kang Congxin let go of him immediately: "Okay, let's go find Mom." Then, he grabbed his waist with both hands and sent him to the back seat. Yan Ruxu took him and put him aside, and Kangkang hugged his mother's arms again and buried him inside.

Kang Congxin looked at the child worriedly.

Yan Ruxu: "A three-year-old child can figure out a lot of things, let him think about it for himself, let's go home first."

Kang nodded again and started the car.

Along the way, Kangkang was very quiet, hiding his face, occasionally showing his face, peeking at Kang Congxin, and then quickly hiding back, like playing hide and seek, Kang Congxin and Yanrui pretended not to know.

After sending the mother and son to the fence gate, Kang Congxin put the key in his pocket, but instead of coming in, he waved at the mother and son: "I'll go first, go to the dormitory to pack things, and then go to the military compound , I’ll hurry back to have dinner with you guys.” He was a little bit reluctant, he only met yesterday, and he didn’t want to be separated from them for a moment, and he originally planned to take Yan Ruxu, mother and son, to pack things together, but after thinking about it, they haven’t After receiving the certificate, don't provide topics for others. Parents also have to tell the truth before receiving the certificate.

"Go, talk to your parents and say something nice about me."

"Yeah," Kang nodded again, quickly kissed Yan Ruxu on the lips, and said in a low voice, "Wait for me to come back!"

When Kang Kang returned to a familiar place, he suddenly became alive. He spread his legs and ran in. After running a few steps, he found that Kang Congxin hadn't followed him. He turned around and saw that Kang Congxin was about to leave, so he immediately ran back to Kang Congxin. , pulled his trousers: "Aren't you coming to our house?" The long eyelashes trembled, and the big eyes sparkled as if they were about to cry.

Kang Congxin squatted down and explained to him seriously: "I will go to the dormitory to get my things, and then I will go to my grandparents' house. I will come back to have dinner with you at night."

Kangkang confirmed with him again, "Really?"

Kang held his little hand again: "Really, Liar is a puppy!"

"Oh, then you have to come back quickly!"

Kang Congxin took his little hand and shook it: "It's a deal! Go back quickly and wait for me at home."

Only then did Kangkang feel happy, and he went out with some reluctance, until he saw Kang Congxin driving a jeep and was still reluctant to part with him, so he was a little downcast.

In the house, I played with building blocks for a while, read characters for a while, read comic books for a while, ate fruit, and then fell down on the sofa and rolled around for a while. The game also lost its appeal at the moment.

Yan Ruxu was sitting in the living room flipping through this month's new magazine, looking at the child from time to time, but ignoring him.

After a while, Kangkang sat down beside his mother slowly, leaning on her arm, and whispered, "Mom, I just wanted to call you daddy, but I just can't do it."

Yan Ruxu smiled, hugged his son, and stroked his back: "Then take your time, don't worry, Uncle Kang won't be angry." Kangkang nodded obediently, and said to his mother after a while: " Mom, I'm actually very happy, when Uncle Kang played with me before, I thought, it would be great if Uncle Kang could be my father."

"Ah, then our Kangkang dream has come true!" Yan Ruxu lowered his head and said.

Kangkang rubbed against her clothes and giggled.

"Uncle Kang must be very happy if he finds out."

"Mom, you can't tell Uncle Kang."

"why?"

"Yes, just can't tell him."

"Okay, okay, mom respects you, don't tell Uncle Kang."

Kang Congxin parked his car outside the gate of the former No. 2 Machinery Factory. This weekend, the gate was locked and there was only a small door for one person to enter and exit. Kang Congxin didn't bother the guard to open the gate, so he walked in by himself.

His dormitory building is not far from the entrance, about 600 to 700 meters away. It is an office building of a certain department before the Second Factory. The dormitory building where senior leaders live. Among these leaders, the family members of General Manager Yue Liangxi and Vice President Ma Shaoyuan are still out of town and have not yet moved here. Kang Congxin is a bachelor, so the three of them spend more time in the dormitory, and the others have families. Only rest here occasionally.

But from now on, only Yue Liangxi and Ma Shaoyuan are left to live in the dormitory.

His dormitory is on the second floor, with large rooms, and he is quite comfortable to live in. Mr. Yue lives next door, which is larger than his side.

Kang Congxin only packed a small bag, enough for the next few days, and he planned to move everything away after he got his certificate and his colleagues knew he was married.

Putting the small bag in the trunk and was about to open the driver's door, a female voice suddenly sounded sharply: "Vice President Kang, hey, it's really you, I look like you from afar, where are you driving?" Ah, it’s hard work not to rest on the big weekend!”

Kang Congxin turned his head and looked at him. The person who called him was the former vice chairman of the trade union of the second factory, and now the deputy head of the second group of the trade union propaganda committee. Sui Yuanzhi's mother. Even though he had guessed what was going on with Yan Ruxu and Sui Yuanzhi's marriage, Kang Congxin couldn't help but investigate Sui Yuanzhi, so he learned about his family relationship, and also heard about Ma Jingying's resentment towards his ex-daughter-in-law and from the side. dissatisfied.

"Hello", Kang Congxin nodded to her, and was about to open the car door and sit in, but saw Ma Jinying running towards her with a vigorous posture that did not match her figure and age.

"Vice President Kang, don't go away, Vice President Kang. I heard that you live in a dormitory. You can't eat the food at home even if you leave your hometown. There is no food in the cafeteria on weekends. I will make some home-cooked meals at night, and you come to eat at home..."

"No, I'll accept your favor." Kang Congxin said, closing the car door and walking away.

Since the reorganization, the group personnel have undergone major adjustments. The management personnel above the middle level of the merged units have been reviewed and evaluated one by one by the personnel of the reform team in terms of ability and qualifications. Those who are capable will be promoted, and those who are vegetarians will be removed from the management team. Kang Congxin, the vice president in charge of administration, personnel and logistics, is a very important member of the decision-making team. From the very beginning of his public appearance in the machinery group, people have been approached one after another, through the back door, seeking connections and giving gifts and saying good things...

Kang Congxin was always business-like and resolutely refused to make such an opening.

The military compound is in the southern suburbs. Kang drove the car for more than an hour before he entered the family hospital of the military region. The Kang family lived in a quiet and independent courtyard. The courtyard was spacious and there were neat vegetable pools. I didn't think it before, but after going to Yan Ruxu's house and seeing my father's small vegetable garden again, I felt a sense of intimacy for no reason.

In the corn bushes in front of him, a tall figure stood up, with gray hair, slightly shorter than Kang Congxin, dressed in a summer military uniform, with an army green towel hanging around his neck, although he was old, but with piercing eyes He is more energetic than a young man, and his appearance is five or six points similar to Kang Congxin.

When he saw Kang Congxin, his eyes softened unconsciously: "The third child is back."

"Dad, why did you come out to work in the sun?"

Kang Qiangjun: "What's the sun like this, don't let it shine. Guess you may have to come back today."

Faced with his father, Yan Congxin also felt very guilty. His father had known the news that he was still alive very early, and not long after contacting him in China, the country found his father in order to verify his identity.

But so what? On the one hand, it must be kept secret, so that the wife who has not yet recovered from the pain of sending the white-haired man to the black-haired man should not know. The torment in his heart can be imagined, he endured it with strong will, and waited for his youngest son to return in victory.

When his youngest son decided to change his name, give up the great honor he had bought with his life and four years, and change jobs to enter the enterprise, he hesitated for several days, but decided to respect his son's choice.

This is his father, an old father who has made great achievements and loved the children in his own way. Since having Kangkang, he can better understand his father's love for him, whether it is the harshness and harshness towards him before, or the indulgence and accommodation after his return. When he was in a foreign land, he would often think that if his father hadn't deliberately tempered his will and exercised his body since he was a child, he might not be able to survive such difficult years.

He walked over, took the **** from his father, and asked, "Is my mother at home?"

"Yes, your second sister-in-law took the two children to the Science and Technology Museum, and your mother is so busy that she has been talking about you all day, saying that you are a bachelor and don't know how to go home on the weekend."

Kang Congxin smiled proudly: "Dad, I'm not a bachelor anymore. Come on, let's go into the house. I have something big to tell you and Mom."

Kang Qiangjun was overjoyed: "Do you have a date?"

Kang Congxin didn't say a word, and saw his mother Bai Fengmei come out with a smile and opened the grass bead curtain.

Bai Fengmei was very beautiful when she was young. Although she is in her fifties now, she can still see the demeanor of her youth.

She was originally in good health, but after the sad news of her youngest son's death came four years ago, she fell ill and stayed in bed until the second daughter-in-law applied to be transferred back to the capital and brought her two children to live with the old couple. Every day, two lovely little grandchildren, Cheng Huan, let her recover, but her health is much worse. Since her son came back from the dead, she has regained her spirit, as if she was alive again, her complexion has improved, her hair has been dyed, and she is much younger.

Kang Congxin's sacrifice and return have had a great impact on every member of the family. The old man's temper has also changed. He is much more tolerant of the children and grandchildren in the family, and he has become friendly and patient. , also babbled a lot.

Kang Congxin called "Mom", and Kang Qiangjun said first: "Your son is not easy. He has found a partner only a few months after he came back!"

"Ah, really, San'er, what's your name, how old is it, and what do you do? Does it look good? When will you bring it home for us to see." Bai Fengmei was so happy that she blurted out a series of questions.

Kang Congxin hurriedly opened the curtain to let the two of them enter the room. He first gave them some psychological preparation, and worried that the blood pressure would rise due to agitation, so he also found out the antihypertensive medicine in advance. After the preparations were done, he told the story about himself and Yan Ruxu.

Kang Qiangjun's expression looked calm, but the trembling corners of his mouth showed the excitement in his heart, while Bai Fengmei's slightly yellow face was flushed, she stood up breathing rapidly, her voice was high-pitched and shrill, As if he couldn't stay any longer, he was so excited that he was incoherent: "My little grandson is 3 years old, and my third son has a son... My God, I didn't even know!"

She pulled Kang Congxin up and asked him to take her to see the child immediately.

Kang Congxin hurriedly hugged her shoulders to comfort her: "Mom, don't get excited, calm down, Kangkang and her mother are right there, and they won't leave."

Kang Qiangjun pretended to be calm and said: "You, at such an old age, you still can't stand it. You will scare your grandson even if you see him now. Sit down first." It made people realize that he was not much better than Bai Fengmei.

Blood poured into the top of her head, and Bai Fengmei felt a little dizzy. Seeing that she was silent and covered her head suddenly, Kang Congxin quickly helped her sit down, fed her blood pressure medicine, and let her lie on the sofa with her eyes closed. Bai Fengmei still had a lot to say, but her physical condition couldn't keep up, so she could only suppress the boiling water in her heart, recharge her energy, and listen to her husband and son talking.

It took Kang Qiangjun a long time to say: "This girl is not easy, she is affectionate and righteous, our family owes her! You said she is Yan Liangshen's daughter, this old guy, we met a while ago, why doesn't he know anything about it?" Tell me!"

"Yes, she raised her child by herself. In order to give Kangkang an identity, she even married someone else. She never revealed anything about us. Her father only found out after we confessed this morning. She is planning to bring the child to the house to meet grandparents when the child is older."

Kang Qiangjun let out a long sigh, relieved a lot, and then laughed again: "I didn't expect this old guy and I to be in-laws!"

Bai Fengmei took the antihypertensive medicine, took a rest for a while, felt much better, and quickly stood up: "San'er, take us there, meet the child, and the mother of the child... oh, I have to change clothes, and I have to prepare a meeting ceremony. , wait for me for a while."

"Mom, mom", Kang Congxin quickly grabbed her and said, "Now is not the time. I just met my child. The child is still a little confused. Suddenly, there are strange grandparents again, and the child is even more confused. We have to let the child know." I get along with the children, develop a good relationship, and then bring the children to see you."

"Oh, what you said makes sense." Bai Fengmei went back to the sofa and sat down again. She was dazed by the news of the day, and her thinking was a little confused for a while. Hearing what her son said, she also felt that it was the same.

Kang Congxin breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Mother Kangkang and I will get our marriage certificate first next week. We don't plan to organize the wedding, so we will distribute wedding candies in both units to achieve the purpose of informing."

Bai Fengmei blurted out her objection subconsciously: "How can that be done? How can such a big matter as marriage be done quietly? It's not like our family can't afford a wedding, so how can we just get a certificate!"

Bai Fengmei was overjoyed when she learned that her son had not sacrificed and had returned home after making great contributions, so she wanted to extend her guests to express her joy, but Kang Qiangjun disagreed. It’s fine if Kang Qiangjun disagrees. This old man’s personality is just like this. He always said to be cautious and not to show off, but he didn’t expect the third son to disagree. Not only did he disagree, but he also said that he didn’t intend to live with honor. He wanted to change his name. Go live a whole new life.

Although Bai Fengmei couldn't understand it, it was not easy for San'er to come back from the dead, so she didn't have the heart to persuade her, but the desire to publicize it and let the whole world know about her family's happiness was hidden in her heart. If San'er's wedding is not held, it will undoubtedly be a waste of another opportunity to express her wishes. How can she agree?

Kang Congxin can understand his mother's mood very well, but he still intends to stick to his principles. He persuaded his mother: "In order to give Kangkang a legal status, Yan Ruxu had a short-term marriage with others. Because of her divorce, she has been talked about behind her back for several years. If she makes a big fuss this time, she doesn't know how to let her go." How people chew their tongues. Although she doesn't care, I have to think about her, after all, I owe her. "

"Also, if it is a high-profile way to let everyone know that I am Kang Yaoguang who has already sacrificed, there is no point in changing the name."

"Actually, she is the one who is most wronged by not having a wedding. Think about it, which woman doesn't want to have a grand, lively wedding, and receive the blessings of relatives and friends? She is also for me, and we have no choice."

The words made Bai Fengmei calm down slowly. No matter what the son thinks in his heart, whether he is really free and easy or not, but as a mother, she feels grievances and grievances for her son, and there are many knots in her heart. The son has suffered such a great crime and achieved such a great achievement, but he can only walk around at night in brocade clothes and cannot show it in front of others. Why is it not depressing?

Usually, when she does ideological work for the doctors and nurses in the military region hospital, she always makes everyone disregard personal gains and losses and be impartial, but when she really puts it on herself, she realizes what it feels like. It is not so painful, but like There was a small grain of sand in my heart, a small pain, a small itch, but it was always there.

She also listened to what her son said, and he was right to worry.

But, it's really hard to understand!

It took her a while to say, "It's up to you."

Kang Qiangjun also expressed his position, "You two are people who have experienced things, you can just think about these things yourself." Next, he asked about Kangkang with great interest. He is tall, what he looks like, what personality, what he likes to eat, what he likes to play... Bai Fengmei listened, and unconsciously interjected to ask.

The three of them chatted about Kangkang's interesting stories, but they also found it interesting. It was not until Kang Congxin's second sister-in-law Xiao Hongying came back with two children that they interrupted the three of them.

Kang Congxin hurried over to say hello to Xiao Hongying. Xiao Hongying held something in her hand and said with a smile, "You are here. If you don't come, my mother will go to the dormitory to find you."

Xiao Hongying has a baby face. Although she is in her thirties and is the mother of two children, she looks several years younger than her actual age. She has dimples on her cheeks and she smiles very cutely. Amiable looks.

Xiao Hongying and Kang Yuheng, the eldest son of the Kang family, have been married for more than ten years. They have been stationed in the coastal city of Ningcheng with the army. After Xiao Hongying heard that her mother-in-law Bai Fengmei fell ill due to the news of her brother-in-law's sacrifice, she resolutely abandoned Kang Yuheng and returned to Beijing with her two children to take care of and comfort Bai Fengmei. With the company of them all, Bai Fengmei gradually got better.

Just because of this affection, Kang Congxin respected Xiao Hongying very much.

Xiao Hongying's two children are twins. They are 8 years old this year. The taller one is her elder sister, named Kang Chenxi. The Kang family, the siblings are all good-looking children. When they saw the uncle coming, they all came over to say hello happily.

Kang Congxin chatted with them a few words, raised his hand to look at his watch, saw that it was past 4 o'clock, and proposed to leave.

Xiao Hongying lifted the net bag in her hand and said: "There is a stall selling crucian carp on the roadside. I bought a few and I will ask my aunt to make crucian carp tofu soup. You can stay and finish your meal before leaving."

Kang Congxin: "No, you guys eat, I still have something to do."

Xiao Hongying joked: "Yo? Is there something wrong?"

Kang Congxin just smiled and said nothing, waved to his second sister-in-law, said goodbye to his parents and two nephews, and left.

Xiao Hongying knew that my uncle was a bachelor for ten thousand years. When he first came back, her mother-in-law started looking for a partner for him. He had such good conditions and introduced him to many, but he had never seen any of them. There are situations, but it's just a joke.

Xiao Hongying turned to Bai Fengmei: "Mom, when I came back, I met a girl from the art troupe. She was very good-looking. I asked for her contact information. I think my uncle might like it."

Bai Fengmei smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about him in the future!"

Xiao Hongying was taken aback for a moment, seeing the unconcealable excitement on the faces of the old couple, she understood instantly, and asked, "Is there really something wrong with my uncle?"

The old couple looked at each other, not knowing where to start. However, the family always needs to know about Kang Congxin's affairs, so Bai Fengmei organized her words and said as simply and directly as possible: "San'er, he had a relationship with a girl before, and that girl gave birth to a child for him. She is already three years old. gone."

"Ah?" Xiao Hongying was taken aback, and then asked, "Is that girl from our country?"

Bai Fengmei explained again: "San'er had a good relationship with someone before she died, and the two of them are ready to receive their certificates."

"Oh!" Xiao Hongying understood, this sudden big news made her a little dazed.
