Chapter 142: The poor kid who was driven to death by worldly prejudice (1)
I heard some noise coming from the living room.
Li Jianjun and Yun Qing, who were hugging each other and talking in private, knew that the two elders had gotten up.
The two of them quickly got up and cleaned themselves up.
After applying hot compress, Yunqing's eyes were no longer so swollen, but the redness was still visible.
The two checked each other and made sure that there was nothing wrong with each other before shyly leaving the house.
Ma Lihua sat on the sofa, looking at Li Jianjun's door with a smile.
So, as soon as the two children went out, they saw the smiling Ma Lihua.
Yun Qing shyly hid behind Li Jianjun.
Li Jianjun was not so shy. He smiled and pulled Yun Qing to Ma Lihua's side. He smiled flatteringly, "Mom, I slept for a while. How are you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Ma Lihua felt relieved when she heard her son's caring words. She smiled and said, "It's okay, Mom, I'm fine!"
Then she smiled and tilted her head to look at Yun Qing behind Li Jianjun, and hooked her finger, "Xiao Qing, come, sit next to auntie!"
After saying that, he patted the sofa beside him.
Yun Qing felt a little embarrassed, so Li Jianjun gently pushed him over.
Ma Lihua grabbed Yun Qing's hand and said, "Why are your hands so cold?"
Looking at the kind and gentle Ma Lihua, Yun Qing blushed and whispered, "Auntie, I, I'm fine."
Li Jianjun sat on the other side of Ma Lihua, hugged Ma Lihua's arm, put his head on Ma Lihua's shoulder, and said admiringly, "Mom, thank you! And, I'm sorry, your son made you sad!"
Ma Lihua turned around and patted Li Jianjun's head gently. "Why are you being so polite to me, kid? But don't say anything like that. It's like cutting my heart out with a knife, okay?"
"I know, Mom. I won't tell anyone anymore no matter what happens in the future!" Li Jianjun rubbed Ma Lihua's shoulder coquettishly and said in a low voice.
Ma Lihua held the two children in each hand and said, "Life is short, and it's not easy to find someone you love. You two must be good to each other in the future, be good to each other!"
The three of them didn't say anything after that, they just snuggled together quietly.
Li Duofu poked his head out of the kitchen with the spare ribs in his hand, looked at the mother and her two children who were surrounded by warmth, then smiled and went back to continue his work.
After a while, Li Duofu heard the mother and her two children talking and laughing in the living room. He felt unbalanced and shouted, "Li Jianjun, come in and help. Don't just wait for the ready-made food!"
Outside, Ma Lihua, Li Jianjun and others looked at each other and smiled.
Ma Lihua joked, "Jun, go and help. Your dad is jealous of us mothers and daughters because we are so happy!"
Li Jianjun and Yun Qing covered their mouths and laughed after hearing what Ma Lihua said.
Then Yun Qing stood up and pulled Li Jianjun, "Jianjun, let's go to the kitchen to cook. How can we let uncle cook for us!"
"Okay, let's go and do it!" Li Jianjun grabbed Yun Qing, the two of them smiled at Ma Lihua, and went to the kitchen hand in hand.
Looking at the well-matched young lovers, Ma Lihua did not say anything to refuse. Why would she reject the child's affection?
After a while, Li Duofu was driven out of the kitchen by the two children, wiping his hands.
Ma Lihua laughed and joked, "Oh, was the chef kicked out?"
Li Duofu sat down next to his wife and said, "It's time for the two boys to help!"
The couple chatted and laughed in the living room, talking about interesting things in the factory.
In the kitchen, the little lovers worked in perfect harmony to cook one delicious meal after another.
Soon, when it was slightly dark, a table full of delicious food was served.
The four of them sat around the table.
Li Duofu looked at the two children with smiles on their faces and spoke in a deep voice, "Okay, tonight is our family's first reunion dinner. Xiaoqing, you will be the good daughter-in-law recognized by our Li family from now on. Let's not talk about the past. The past is the past. In three days, you will go to the countryside. In the future, you two must help each other and support each other for life. Do you understand?"
"I understand!" Li Jianjun and Yun Qing said in unison.
Ma Lihua patted Li Duofu and said, "Okay, stop talking and eat first. The two children didn't eat at noon and are already hungry. I'm hungry too. Let's eat first!"
When he heard his wife say she was hungry, Li Duofu quickly picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and gave it to her, "Eat, eat!"
Li Jianjun and Yun Qing looked at each other and smiled. They picked up some food from each other with their chopsticks and then lowered their heads to eat attentively. After all, they had not eaten at noon and were already very hungry.
Yunqing’s cooking skills are really good, and the dishes she makes are delicious and fragrant.
Li Duofu and Ma Lihua both ate so much that their bellies were full, not to mention Li Jianjun, who almost groaned as he held his stomach.
Li Duofu looked at his useless appearance and snorted, "If you didn't know this, you would think I have been abusing you all the time!"
"Ha ha!"
The whole family laughed.
After clearing the dishes, the family sat on the sofa again. It was still early, so there was no rush to go to bed.
Li Duofu took a sip of the tea his son had made for him and said, "Although your mother and I have agreed to your relationship, you must know that your relationship is still not tolerated by the outside world. You must remember this!"
Li Jianjun and Yun Qing put away the smiles on their faces and nodded solemnly.
"Fortunately, you will be going to the countryside soon. No one in the countryside knows your details. As long as you are careful, you have nothing to be afraid of.
I have already contacted my comrades. The village you are going to happens to be their village. The village chief is his second uncle. I have already told him that after arriving at the village, the two of you should build a house to live in separately, and build the house as far away from the villagers as possible, so as to reduce the chances of you being discovered. "
When Li Jianjun and Yun Qing heard that Li Duofu had even considered everything for them after they went to the countryside, they quickly stood up, knelt down, and kowtowed to Li Duofu several times.
Li Jianjun looked at Li Duofu, "Dad, thank you for your thoughtful consideration for us!"
Li Duofu sighed, stepped forward and helped the two of them up, "Alright, don't be so polite with me, come and sit down."
After the two of them sat down, Li Duofu said solemnly, "Even if you two live alone, there is no guarantee that your relationship will not be discovered by others. Perhaps with the development of the times, your relationship will gradually be accepted by others, but in this era, your feelings must not be shown to outsiders!
Therefore, after going to the countryside, I ask you not to appear too intimate in front of outsiders. Even in your own yard, you must be careful about the limits. It’s okay to be intimate, but close the door. In the house, you can play around as you like, but once you leave the room, you must keep a certain distance! Can you do it?"
