Single Mom in the Eighties

At the same time, the military compound

Since her youngest son Kang Congxin came yesterday and announced the shocking news, Bai Fengmei has been in a state of excitement, unable to sit or lie down, just like when she just found out that her youngest son was still alive, she was excited, excited and afraid. Believe me, my mind is not in the right place, I am distracted when I do everything, my eyes stay in one place, showing yearning and gratified expressions for a while, and frowning and worrying for a while.

The second daughter-in-law, Xiao Hongying, saw that her mother-in-law had been in a trance, and was very worried about her. Today, she went to the unit to order a massage and came home.

Yesterday, shortly after my brother-in-law left, she learned from her mother-in-law that my brother-in-law had won the eldest son. She was shocked. The impression of my brother-in-law is a very serious, cold, rigid, and disciplined iron-blooded man I didn't expect to do such a thing. If my mother-in-law hadn't said it herself, she really couldn't believe it.

According to Bai Fengmei's meaning, she wished she could publicize it so that the whole world would know about it, but she couldn't. If it gets to the bottom of it, the son violated discipline, and the grandson has become an illegitimate child. She can't discredit her son and grandson, so she can only feel depressed in her heart, and she can only tell the truth to her family.

Yesterday, Kang Congxin left. She went back to her bedroom and sat there for a while, then she dragged Xiao Hongying into the room, told Xiao Hongying about it, made another long-distance call, and talked to her second son for a while. For more than an hour, I still felt that I was still unsatisfied, and I was thinking about whether to tell my elder brother and younger sister. After thinking about it, I should forget it. If they couldn't help it, they would also tell their children. Yes, why don't we spread the word out.

It's better to listen to the third son's opinion. If others ask suspiciously, don't admit or deny it, just let others think.

"The third child said that Kangkang looks very much like him, and asked me to find out his childhood photos, saying that Kangkang looks very similar to him when he was young, Hongying, I really want to see that kid earlier. Oh, you It is said that the girl was pregnant with the child of the third child, why didn't she know to come to us, how much pain she has suffered in raising the child by herself all these years!"

Bai Fengmei is very grateful to Yan Ruxu, and even admires her very much. It is a great thing for a young girl who is not married and not too old to choose to give birth to a child after her lover sacrificed and raise her well. If it were herself, Bai Fengmei didn't know if she would make the same decision under the same circumstances, so Yan Ruxu's intentions were even more precious.

At the same time, I also regretted that it would be great if this girl came to me when she was pregnant, so that I could take good care of her and Kangkang.

After getting along with her mother-in-law for so many years, Xiao Hongying knew her mother-in-law too well, and she was afraid that she would blame herself too much, so she comforted her: "Think about it, we all thought that the third child had died, and suddenly there was a big girl whom we didn't know She came to the door with a big belly and said she was pregnant with the third child, can we believe it?"

Bai Fengmei really thought about it, and shook her head: "I don't believe it, I must think that she wants to touch porcelain, damage the reputation of our youngest, maybe we have to beat her out."

"That's right. There was a war going on at that time. For the sake of confidentiality, communications were restricted. The third child never told his family that he had a date. We didn't even know that girl existed. Besides, the third child saw the eldest girl." Just with a cold face, who would have thought that he and others... even have children." As she spoke, Xiao Hongying felt a little embarrassed, and then said: "So, I don't blame you, nor do I blame that Girl, their reunion is the best ending."

Bai Fengmei was suddenly enlightened by this remark, thinking of the old three's unfaltering attitude to the little girls before, she laughed and said: "Hong Ying, let me tell you, this man is hypocritical. Yes, I can't hold it any longer!"

Bai Fengmei recalled the beautiful adjectives that the third child blurted out when talking about Kangkang’s mother yesterday, as well as the love and tenderness in her eyes, and she felt her teeth sour. Come. She sighed, and said: "God didn't treat the third child poorly!" Although the third child has suffered so much, but now he is accompanied by his lovely wife and beloved son, which is enough to comfort him for half a lifetime!

"That's right, Mom, God loves the third child. You see, if he doesn't look for it, he will just look for it. If he looks for it, he will find a top one. I haven't met him yet, let's not talk about it, just say we know it. The editor-in-chief of the magazine, With a bachelor's degree from Huaqing University, her father is a high-ranking cadre. With this condition, there are not many daughter-in-laws in the military area who have this condition! I must die with envy!"

What she said made Bai Fengmei's mouth shut from ear to ear, and the melancholy just now disappeared. The second daughter-in-law was right. Kangkang's mother's condition is hard to find with a lantern! The third child is so lucky!

Xiao Hongying breathed a sigh of relief. Although her parents-in-law paid too much attention to the young daughter-in-law who had never met, which made her feel sour and uncomfortable, she was still very happy for her uncle. Although she didn't have much contact with her brother-in-law, she had a good impression. When his brother-in-law died, she was also sad for a long time.

She has ambivalent feelings towards Yan Ruxu, who is about to join the big family. On the one hand, she has a vague sense of rejection, and feels that she has weakened her position in the family and the love of her in-laws, but on the other hand, she also has expectations.

Although Xiao Hongying is the second daughter-in-law, she actually assumes the duties of the eldest daughter-in-law.

That sister-in-law is in the art troupe, she only knows how to sing, dance, and dress up. She is in her early thirties and doesn't have children. She couldn't figure it out, this man was from an ordinary worker's family, how could he have these bad habits?

If this person didn't affect others, she wouldn't have any objections, but this person is very selfish and wants to fight for everything.

At the beginning, in order to take care of Bai Fengmei, she left her husband and took the children back to her hometown alone. Not only did the sister-in-law not say thank you, but she even said in a weird way that in order to please the old man, she didn't even want a man. If it wasn't for the father-in-law who couldn't bear to listen and reprimanded her, he might have said something ugly.

This sister-in-law, Xiao Hongying, and the family have many grievances and grievances. The latest conflict occurred when the third child had not returned. After that incident, Kang Tianshu and his wife have not contacted their family so far. Heart, and did not contact over there.

The cause of the incident was that Kang Qiangjun felt that it was not an option for the husband and wife to always live apart, so he wanted to transfer the second child Kang Yuheng back so that they could reunite.

When Bai Fengmei called her boss Kang Tianshu, she mentioned this matter to him as a commonplace, but unexpectedly the eldest daughter-in-law Peng Qiuni was also listening, and suddenly she was not happy, and immediately grabbed the phone and quarreled with Bai Fengmei: "Why? Ah, we are the bosses, if we are transferred back, it will be us, you and my dad are too partial, let us stay in this small place for so many years, no matter what!"

Bai Fengmei's blood pressure soared at that time. Fortunately, the old man's orderly came back to help him get things. Seeing Bai Fengmei's face like gold paper was startled, so he quickly called the old man's medical officer, and then separately called Xiao Hongying and Kang Qiangjun.

The medical officer hurriedly gave Bai Fengmei water and medicine. After a while, Bai Fengmei's face became normal, and she told Kang Qiangjun and Xiao Hongying what happened just now while touching her tears.

Xiao Hongying didn't say anything, it's not convenient for her to express her opinion, but she really hates Peng Qiuni, a troublemaker in her heart! There was an accident at home, and my mother-in-law was dying of illness, you didn't say you were transferred, but now you are grinding your teeth. This is something that people can do!

She couldn't say anything, Kang Qiangjun didn't want to do it, and his temper immediately came up, and he called the boss Kang Tianshu and scolded the boss Kang Tianshu. Ideological education for Peng Qiuni!

The old man didn't tell anyone when he called, and Xiao Hongying was standing beside him, listening to him scolding his uncle so bloody, it made me feel so much happier! The one who deserves the most scolding is her elder brother Kang Tianshu. If it weren't for his connivance, Peng Qiuni would not be so arrogant.

She still remembers how Peng Qiuni looked when she just married Kang Tianshu. Seven or eight years younger than Kang Tianshu, timid, delicate and soft, white and good-looking, with a bit of innocence and simplicity, like a country boy who has just entered the city. It is surprise and envy.

At that time, Kang Tianshu was an older unmarried young man, and his younger brothers were all married. He was still a widow. Bai Fengmei and Kang Qiangjun were particularly worried about him, so when he brought a girl back and said he was going to get married, they They were all very happy, and couldn't care less about picking on Peng Qiuni's pettiness, lack of manners, awkward speech, and inability to behave in the world. I just thought that this girl is still young, so I will teach her slowly in the future.

Who would have thought that Kang Tianshu's daughter-in-law didn't teach well, but brought herself down. He doted on Peng Qiuni to the limit, he relied on her in everything, he was reluctant to say a single harsh word, just pampering and accommodating like this, he gradually raised Peng Qiuni's temper.

Originally, it didn't matter that Kang Tianshu doted on Peng Qiuni and Xiao Hongying, anyway, they didn't live together, and they met once or twice a year at most, but during the limited days when they came back to see their parents during the Chinese New Year, Peng Qiuni didn't know what was wrong , just got into trouble with her sibling who was a few years older than her. It was the first time in Xiao Hongying's life that she met someone like Peng Qiuni, who was stupid and bad, and thought she was smart, reasonable, and upright, which made you so angry that her liver hurt, and she felt that she had been wronged, so angry that she wished she could It's fun to slap her twice!

His uncle, who was also given the ecstasy potion, came over to warn his sister-in-law, saying that Peng Qiuni was young and ignorant, and asked her to give way. Xiao Hongying was so angry, you uncle, you have lived so old, you have led so many soldiers, and now you are being manipulated by a little woman, and you are talking nonsense with your sister-in-law, do you want to do it? Face!

In the evening, she told her husband Kang Yuheng about this matter, and he was very angry, complaining to her: "You said how my elder brother has become such a virtue now, that Peng Qiuni is stupid and bad, anyone with a discerning eye can see it, But he has become blind and can't see anything! Just wait and see, the elder brother will be destroyed by this woman sooner or later."

Hearing that her husband and she shared the same hatred, Xiao Hongying felt much more comfortable, and instead began to comfort her husband: "Forget it, we only get along with them for a few days a year, even if we bear it, it's not worth getting angry with her." Just look at your parents' face."

Bai Fengmei also saw the conflict between them, and quietly called Xiao Hongying into the room, gave her a gold ring, and said, "This is the dowry left for me by the family. I will give it to you. Do you want to give it to me?" Wear it as you like, keep it if you don’t want to wear it, after all, it’s gold, and it can be passed down to the family and preserve its value.”

Xiao Hongying knew very well that it was because her in-laws knew she had been wronged, but it was not easy to intervene, so it was a disguised form of compensation. She was embarrassed to accept it, but Bai Fengmei insisted on giving it, so she had no choice but to accept it. At the same time, she made up her mind For the sake of the stability of the big family, no matter how ignorant Peng Qiuni is, she will not respond to any provocations.

Unexpectedly, she was able to swallow her anger, but Peng Qiuni thought that everyone was afraid of her, so she was complacent, and she said and acted even more arrogantly in the future.

Based on Bai Fengmei's thinking, no matter what the daughter-in-law is like, brothers are brothers after all, that breaks the bones and connects the tendons, even if there are conflicts between daughter-in-laws, it will not dilute the feelings between brothers. Although she became more and more disappointed with Peng Qiuni, despised her, and even hated her, she did not take her anger out on her son. In her eyes, the eldest son was always a good big brother who had his own opinions, knew how to be humble, and loved his younger brothers.

After Kang Yaoguang died, she only had two sons left. After experiencing the pain of sacrificing the youngest son she loves the most, Bai Fengmei cherishes the eldest son and the second son even more. She no longer expects the children to develop well in their careers, but only wants them to live in peace. Therefore, for the two sons It accommodates a lot.

The old couple will leave one day. She hopes that the two brothers can love each other and support each other, but this is her wishful thinking, but she underestimated the power of pillow wind.

After Peng Qiuni's continuous provocation, the eldest brother Kang Tianshu successfully hated his second younger brother Xiao Hongying first, and then his second younger brother Kang Yuheng. , life, and talk about what is in my heart, and then I didn’t even write letters.

Bai Fengmei saw the emotional change between the two brothers, and felt very distressed. She tried various methods to make up for the relationship between the two brothers, but Kang Qiangjun could see it clearly and advised him: "Don't bother. , The relationship between the two of them can’t be restored.” The rift already exists, and even if it is repaired, it may be intact.

Kang Qiangjun was more distressed than Bai Fengmei, not only because of his brother's estrangement, but also because of his disappointment with his eldest son Kang Tianshu. These three sons were all raised by him himself, and Kang Tianshu was his eldest son, and he placed the greatest hope on him.

Originally, he had always been upright, honest, humble, proactive and forging ahead as he expected, making contributions step by step by relying on his own efforts. But after getting married, this child gradually became another person. Selfish, philistine, and calculating, he was completely assimilated by his wife, and his thoughts were influenced by that stupid and calculating woman.

Bai Fengmei blamed all this on Peng Qiuni, but Kang Qiangjun thought more deeply. As the saying goes, flies don't bite seamless eggs. If Kang Tianshu is determined and clear-cut, no matter how hard the pillow wind is, he won't be able to shake his heart. To put it bluntly, it's his own problem.

This kind of cognition made Kang Qiangjun even more uncomfortable. He couldn't figure out how to cultivate such a thing with his own blood inheritance, careful cultivation, and forging in an army furnace!

After all, Bai Fengmei was a mother, and she thought that the two brothers had conflicts and quarreled like they did when they were young, and after a while, they hooked up again and reconciled as before. But they did not expect that they have grown up, have independent personalities, thinking, their own families, life, have family members outside of blood relationship, have more important concerns, and no longer regard their parents and brothers as everything to them.

She took out her handkerchief and wiped her tears: "We can't just watch the two of them go on like this!"

Kang Qiangjun said perfunctorily, "Then what do you think can be done?"

Bai Fengmei opened her mouth and couldn't speak. They thought of everything they could think of. The old couple talked to Kang Tianshu once or twice. Every time they talked, Kang Tianshu burst into tears, saying that he realized his mistake. , I will definitely correct it in the future, but what should I do afterwards? The two of them's long speeches are not worth a sentence from Peng Qiuni.

Then it happened that Peng Qiuni questioned Bai Fengmei, making Bai Fengmei so angry that she had high blood pressure. The reason why Bai Fengmei talked about that matter on the phone was nothing more than to use it as an introduction, leading him to talk about the matter of her second child, so as to draw in the relationship between the two brothers, but unexpectedly, it triggered a series of subsequent events. things.

After that incident, Bai Fengmei was sad, disappointed and panicked. She could see that Kang Qiangjun really wanted to give up his eldest son completely. If he is given up by him, his son will have no future at all. The eldest son has been stuck at the current level for a long time. At his age, if he is not promoted, he will have to change jobs. If it is lowered, it will only disappear from the crowd in the future.

Peng Qiuni said that Bai Fengmei was eccentric, and not long ago, her eldest son Kang Tianshu also said that Kang Qiangjun was eccentric.

In that phone call, Kang Tianshu said that his father was biased, he only cared about his two younger brothers, and refused to let him go through the back door to greet the leaders of the military region, which made him unable to get promoted, and asked Kang Qiangjun to help him.

Kang Qiangjun was angry and disappointed. He was angry that his elder son was so stupid and ignorant of current affairs. How could he not know that what he hated the most was the practice of using the back door to solicit relationships, but he just violated his own taboo in a daze. ! This is no brainer! If this goes to the battlefield, how many lives of his comrades may be ruined. Such a person should not be promoted, otherwise he will harm others and himself! I am also angry that the eldest son is not satisfied. Although I did not deliberately take care of them, but because he is Kang Qiangjun's son, he will always have more opportunities to succeed than ordinary people.

It was this incident that disappointed Kang Qiangjun so much that he had the idea of ​​giving up Kang Tianshu and never caring about him anymore. When Bai Fengmei was ill with qi, Kang Qiangjun deepened his thoughts.

About the matter between the old couple and the eldest son, as well as some private discussions, Bai Fengmei talked about Xiao Hongying. She also knew that these words were not suitable for Xiao Hongying's daughter-in-law, but she was really panicked and couldn't vomit quickly.

Xiao Hongying became a pure listener, and did not express her opinions easily, so she comforted Bai Fengmei appropriately. But I felt very relieved in my heart, wishing that the old couple would immediately sever ties with the boss!

She understands her parents-in-law very well. If her son also behaves like this in the future, she will be furious!

Not to mention Peng Qiuni, she is an outsider, but the boss, Kang Tianshu, has lived for more than thirty years in vain! It's not that he doesn't know how much the sacrifice of the third child has hit Bai Fengmei. He took two children, abandoned her husband, entertained her relatives in colorful clothes, and finally made her mother-in-law better, but Kang Tianshu didn't care about it at all. , Just follow his wife and make trouble with the family! If you ask him, her mother-in-law is better than him in raising the placenta!

Of course, these were all previous events. When the third child came back alive, the disappointment and pain of the old couple towards Kang Tianshu were instantly dispelled, and they stopped complaining to her about the eldest and his wife, and even seldom mentioned them. Xiao Hongying knew that she was relieved, completely disappointed and didn't care.

Even Bai Fengmei and Kang Qiangjun didn't bother to tell Kang Tianshu about the return of the third child.

Kang Congxin was sensitive to the conflict between his parents and elder brother, so he asked them. The old couple didn't hide it, so they told him everything. Now that you know what your elder brother is like, from now on, you will be like your second elder brother, avoid dealing with him, and if he begs you to do something in the future, just ignore him."

Kang Congxin nodded. If he could force his reasonable parents into such a situation, he knew that the elder brother was no longer the elder brother in his memory. He loves his parents very much. The eldest brother is the first child of his parents, and he has a special place in their hearts. They have raised him well, educated him well, and arranged his future, but this is how he feeds back to the family.

Kang Congxin took Bai Fengmei's hand and smiled to please her: "Mom, I will listen to you. If they treat you well, they will be my elder brother. If they treat you badly, I will not recognize him. From now on, I will honor you with my wife and son. Do not make you angry!"

Bai Fengmei was amused, and said: "When you come back, Mom has figured it out. You are better than anything else alive. Let those bad people stay where they are cool when they do bad things. The boss and his wife Being able to treat us like this is nothing more than relying on the fact that he is our son, and the parents can't bear to ignore him."

Bai Fengmei snorted, and said: "Your father and I both crawled out of the dead, sent so many comrades away, and I even survived your sacrifice. What else can defeat me? I Let them see if I can be ruthless and let them catch me!"

Later, Kang Qiangjun asked Bai Fengmei why he made this decision suddenly. This decision can't be made easily. If it was easy, the old couple wouldn't be passive and angry like this.

Bai Fengmei said: "I have seen it through. Sooner or later, Kang Tianshu will let that woman, Peng Qiuni, be taken into the ditch. It is his business that he is willing to degenerate. Don't smear the face of our hero!"

Kang Qiangjun didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You are not afraid to discredit me as a commander."

Bai Fengmei: "You are his father, there is no way, who let such a child be put on the table, children are debts, our third child does not owe him anything!"

Later, Bai Fengmei said the same to Xiao Hongying, but when she said it, the latter sentence became "The second child, the second wife and the third child do not owe him anything." Comfortable.

However, Xiao Hongying is not very comfortable now, she is very sour, because Bai Fengmei keeps discussing with her about her little grandson that she has never met. After thinking about it, she suggested: "Why don't we go to the kindergarten to see the child?"

Bai Fengmei's eyes lit up: "Will that work? Will it scare the child?" Then she sighed: "Forget it, give the child and the child's mother some time. The third child also said that when they are ready, they will come back come home."

"Okay, mom". Although her proposal was rejected, Xiao Hongying didn't feel uncomfortable in her heart. Her mother-in-law is like this, she knows how to think about others, and never forgets her share when she goes shopping, and eats something rare when she goes out. Don't forget to bring back a copy for her and the child.

"The third child said that the child looks exactly like him when he was a child, how beautiful it is!" Bai Fengmei said, her eyes glistening, "Let me tell you, Hong Ying, you don't know, the third child looked very good-looking when he was young Yes, I took him out, thinking it was a little girl. Oh, yes, I will show you the photos of the third child when I was young." Bai Fengmei said, and took Xiao Hongying to her bedroom, opened the cabinet and looked through It took me a long time to find a photo album, and I flipped through it from the beginning to the end, and found that there was an empty space where the photo of my youngest son was originally placed.

"Hey, where's the photo?" Bai Fengmei looked through it several times, but still couldn't find it.

The author has something to say:

There is another chapter to add more, to celebrate the pre-order of "Working Girl" will soon exceed 100!
