Back To The 80s-Chapter 302 - 312: The Taste of Home (Additional - for 760 Monthly Tickets)_1
Fang Jing returned home with Yueyue, complaining to Lu Aiguo as soon as she entered the door: "You are idling at home, why didn’t you pick up Yueyue."
Lu Aiguo fiddled with the chess pieces, seeming not to hear, Fang Jing stormed over and gave him a strong slap: "It’s so cold, and you didn’t go pick up Yueyue."
"Those old ladies at your factory kindergarten are annoying. Every time they see me, they keep asking these and those. It’s annoying." Lu Aiguo retorted, raising his eyebrow in a dissatisfied manner.
Fang Jing didn’t bother arguing with him, she took off Yueyue’s cotton-padded clothes and shoes, changed him into slippers, and also changed out of her own clothes before going to help in the kitchen.
Yueyue ran up to Lu Songyuan, and enthusiastically spoke to him: "Grandpa, Grandpa, when did you come back? Today our teacher taught us how to dance ’Two Tigers’, I can show it to you."
After Yueyue had finished speaking, he ran into the centre of the living room and started dancing with perfect imitation; his tender childish voice also sang: "Two tigers, two tigers, running fast..."
Mo Wang was amused by this and chuckled, her small arms playfully swinging back and forth.
Seeing the lively scene, Xiaopang in Lu Zhanguo’s arms wanted to join in, calling out loudly and stretching her arms.
Lu Aiguo swept the chessboard in annoyance, remarking, "Were it not for your daughter’s interruption, I would have won." He then reached over to hold Xiaopang and said, "Come on, Uncle third will take you over to perform ’Two Tigers.’"
Lu Aiguo danced wildly after Yueyue while holding Xiaopang, causing her to chuckle non-stop in his arms.
Upon seeing this heartwarming scene, Lu Songyuan’s eyes welled up. He hadn’t devoted enough attention to this family in his lifetime, and in the blink of an eye, his grandson had grown up.
Wen Xiuqing’s smile deepened, and a sense of serenity slowly filled her heart.
Fang Jing and Gu Xiaobei leaned against the kitchen door, smiling as they watched the scene unfold. Fang Jing exclaimed with a smile: "Finally, this looks like a family. You guys must come back every year. Look how much luck Xiaopang and Mo Wang have brought."
Gu Xiaobei nodded with a smile. The big family she longed for should be like this, filled with occasional unhappy moments and quarrels, but mostly full of love. This was precisely what a family should be like.
After a while, Fang Jing suggested: "Sister-in-law, I have the night shift tomorrow and I’m free during the day. Let’s go to the health center again."
Gu Xiaobei had almost forgotten about that and agreed with a nod.
After breakfast the next day, Gu Xiaobei and Fang Jing headed out together. This time, Gu Xiaobei was completely worry-free, knowing that Wen Xiuqing could help look after the kids, who could eat egg custard and millet soup if they were hungry.
The trip went smoothly. Gu Xiaobei didn’t feel too uncomfortable after the minor surgery. Fang Jing asked: "Sister-in-law, are you in a hurry to get home?"
Gu Xiaobei shook her head: "Not in a hurry. Do you have anything to do? Just don’t go too far."
After some thought, Fang Jing said: "Let’s forget it then. I spotted a dress that I’ve been wanting to buy and I wanted you to help me take a look. It would be quite far to walk there though."
Gu Xiaobei thought about the morning delay and didn’t want to worry about the two kids if she returned home too late. She hadn’t been away from the kids for long, but she was already missing the two little ones: "Let’s do it another day. We can make a special trip."
As they were leaving the health center, they ran into Chen Dajun, who was rushing into the clinic. He stopped when he saw Gu Xiaobei and Fang Jing, and asked anxiously: "Sisters, have you seen Ruixue?"
Gu Xiaobei and Fang Jing exchanged glances, shook their heads, and Fang Jing asked: "What happened?"
Chen Dajun restlessly said: "Ruixue is pregnant, and she insists on not having the baby. She left the house in the morning, and I have no idea where she’s gone. So I came to the hospital to take a look."
Upon hearing this, Fang Jing quickly suggested: "You go inside and look. We didn’t see her."
Hearing this, Chen Dajun dashed towards the clinic. Fang Jing quickly pulled Gu Xiaobei along to follow, after all, Ruixue was their younger sister-in-law, and they couldn’t ignore her situation.
They didn’t see Lu Ruixue in the clinic, and they checked with the gynecology department as well, to no avail. Chen Dajun frowned and sighed: "Where could she have gone? I have searched everywhere possible."
Fang Jing and Gu Xiaobei had no good ideas either. Fang Jing suggested: "Dajun, why don’t you go home with us to see if Ruixue is back?"
Chen Dajun hesitated for a while before answering: "Alright, but I’m really worried about Ruixue."
They arrived at the Lu’s house but found that Lu Ruixue had not yet returned. Upon hearing that Ruixue was pregnant and had run away from home, Lu Aiguo violently tried to attack Chen Dajun.
Lu Zhanguo held Xiaopang in one arm and restrained Lu Aiguo with the other, sternly saying: "Calm down, let’s figure out what’s going on first."
Chen Dajun hid behind Lu Zhanguo, trembling as he explained: "Brother third, I swear I didn’t mistreat Ruixue. She found out she was pregnant and insisted on getting rid of the baby. She made a fuss about going to the hospital."
Lu Aiguo angrily pointed at Chen Dajun who was hiding behind Lu Zhanguo, and said: "You good-for-nothing! Can’t even take care of a person, what use do you have?"
Chen Dajun mumbled defiantly: "Well, the legs are hers, what can I do? I can’t tie her up with a rope!"
Hearing this, Lu Aiguo was furious that Chen Dajun dared to back talk him. He said: "Brother second, get out of my way! Watch me break this grandson’s leg!" and tried to charge forward.
Lu Zhanguo was holding Xiaopang with one arm and grabbed the arm Lu Aiguo had stretched out with his free hand, and fiercely pushed it aside: "Alright, do you think beating him up will find Ruixue? Let’s figure out where Ruixue could’ve gone." Xiaopang found this amusing and giggled.
Wen Xiuqing sat on the sofa holding Mo Wang, her face looking dreadful and she didn’t make a single sound.
Gu Xiaobei took Mo Wang from Wen Xiuqing and sat next to her.
Lu Aiguo angrily sat down on the single seater sofa and snorted: "Come on, tell us exactly what happened."
Chen Dajun nervously glanced at Lu Zhanguo standing next to him, and then at Lu Aiguo, he swallowed hard before saying: "Ruixue said that her family didn’t want her. If she had a child, the child would have no grandmother or uncle, and her mother didn’t like her when she was little anyway. Given all of this, she didn’t want to have this baby so that it wouldn’t have to suffer."
Upon hearing this, Wen Xiuqing went pale, and her fingers began to tremble slightly. Lu Aiguo slapped his forehead and cursed: "This unconscionable little rascal, she’s just throwing it all away."
Lu Zhanguo noticed how Chen Dajun’s eyes kept darting to the upper left when he was speaking, and how nervous he looked, narrowing his eyes in suspicion.
"If she doesn’t want the child, she could’ve just got it done directly. What’s the need to run away?" Lu Aiguo said angrily.
Chen Dajun rubbed his ear and replied dryly: "Our Chen family just has me, and we can’t let our line end with me. So I disagreed to Ruixue aborting the child. This is our Chen family’s root and we’ve been looking forward to it."
