Chapter 307
"Second brother, I'm leaving and going back to my hometown. If my family is gone, I will come back immediately. But if my family is still here~~."
"Hongxiu, don't worry, second brother's place will always be your home. You are the children's stepmother. Even if you can't come here in the future, I will have the opportunity to go to the north to see you."
Looking at Zhang Hongxiu who took the initiative to hug him, Luo Cheng was also reluctant. After being together for a few years, the children recognized her as their stepmother. Luo Cheng and Zhao Qian both regarded her as a relative, and in the second half of 1960, Zhao Qian gave Luo Cheng a second child, and now, Zhao Qian's belly is big again.
To be honest, with Zhang Hongxiu here to help take care of the family, Luo Cheng and Zhao Qian are very relaxed. But now that the disaster is over, people have to go home to visit, and Zhang Hongxiu also has her own parents and brothers.
Luo Cheng gave Zhang Hongxiu 500 yuan and asked her to embroider a pocket inside her clothes. This 500 yuan is not a small amount, and he also gave her a lot of national food coupons.
"Hongxiu~~, Hongxiu, what are you doing."
"Second brother, I want to give you my body, you~~ take me."
"Hongxiu, you are crazy, even if my sister-in-law and I have done you a favor, we can't repay you like this, and your sister-in-law and I have remembered your efforts in the past few years, you don't owe us anything."
In the room, Luo Cheng pushed Hongxiu away with a little panic. He has always treated Hongxiu as a sister, even if he sometimes rides a bicycle with her and she leans very close to his back, Luo Cheng has no other thoughts.
After all, when he first took Hongxiu in, she was only sixteen years old, and now she is nineteen years old. She has really become a pretty girl. When she first came to Luo Cheng's house, her body was really thin and weak. But now, Luo Cheng takes a closer look, she is really beautiful.
But just now Hongxiu hugged him, Luo Cheng thought it was the kind of reluctant hug that they were going to separate tomorrow and have a life and feelings together. So Luo Cheng just hugged her back and talked to her, but Luo Cheng really didn't expect Hongxiu to put her hand in his crotch.
Luo Cheng thought she was being silly and wanted to repay a favor with her body. But Luo Cheng couldn't do such a thing. Nowadays, if a woman loses her body and marries someone else, many men care about this. If he hurts Hongxiu because of this, Luo Cheng will really feel guilty.
More importantly, Luo Cheng's wife Zhao Qian is still outside with the child.
"Second brother~~."
Hongxiu looked at Luo Cheng and wanted to confide her feelings, but she knew in her heart that she and her second brother would not have a result. And if she really slept with her second brother, she would be sorry to her sister-in-law.
To be honest, she is now particularly entangled in her heart. She must go back to her hometown. She has to go back to see if her parents and brother are lucky enough to survive these years, and then go back to her hometown. If this is the case, after she goes back, her parents may not let her come here again. Maybe it will be like other people. Her parents will find a matchmaker for her, and then find a partner, get married and have children to live.
But Zhang Hongxiu really wanted to stay here, to stay with Luo Cheng, even if she could just live a simple life like this, it didn't matter if the shame in her heart would never come true.
The situation was a bit awkward, but Luo Cheng still thought that Hongxiu was just impulsive, so he stood up and touched Hongxiu's head, telling her not to think too much.
The next day, Luo Cheng rode his bike to send Hongxiu to the train station. Hongxiu sat in the back, and for the first time, she had the courage to hug Luo Cheng's waist and rest her head on his back.
As soon as Hongxiu left, Luo Cheng's kitchen was considered uninhabited. Luo Yan, the girl, was married to an apprentice in the canteen of the machinery factory. Luo Cheng did not look down on the other person for being an apprentice with no future and stopped him from being with his sister, but investigated the other person in the kitchen. The people in the kitchen and the neighbors nearby where the other person lived had a good evaluation of the boy.
At first, Luo Cheng only allowed Luo Yan to contact the other person and talk slowly. If he really felt that the other person was good for him, he would talk about getting married at that time. However, after more than a year of getting along, and Luo Yan was more than 18 years old, Luo Cheng let go. Luo Yan got married, and when she got married, Luo Cheng paid her a lot of dowry.
For example, Luo Cheng made a bicycle with materials, and gave her two watches, not to mention food. Anyway, for the man, even if Luo Yan was not a city resident, marrying her would save him many years of hard work.
In the past few years, in addition to Luo Yan getting married, Luo Cheng's good brother, Chen Laizi, also became a father.
Chen Laizi's wife was young, and Luo Cheng had told him before that it would be best to raise her for two years before letting her get pregnant. But Chen Laizi endured it for more than a year, and then he also pursued excitement and simply wanted to get into it. At first it was only once in a while, and then he didn't care.
Fortunately, Chen Laizi's wife was almost sixteen years old when she got pregnant. If she was taken care of better and sent to the hospital early after giving birth, there would be no need to worry too much.
As for Er Gouzi, his cousin's wife had no movement in her stomach. I don't know how Er Gouzi convinced his cousin's wife. He actually took Qin Ru and several children to live with him. Luo Cheng really admired Er Gouzi. He was a real dog in some ways.
In addition, Zheng Ke in Jiangcheng also gave birth to two children for Luo Cheng. First a daughter, then a son. Zheng Ke was also obsessed with giving birth to a son for Luo Cheng, saying that she had to leave Luo Cheng with a descendant anyway. Daughters didn't count because they would marry someone else. Luo Cheng really didn't need Zheng Ke to give him a son, for fear that the fact that he had a wife and children in Changcheng would be exposed in the future. The two sides would later stage a plot to fight for the family property.
Every Chinese New Year, Luo Cheng would find excuses not to bring Zheng Ke back to see his parents. Even if they had arranged it, there would be something "temporary".
Zheng Ke always supported Luo Cheng. Even though Zheng Ke's parents hadn't seen Luo Cheng's in-laws for several years, Zheng Ke would speak for Luo Cheng and let her parents dispel their doubts.
In addition, after Zheng Ke gave birth to a child, it was indeed as the future era said, this kind of clingy woman has a high probability of shifting her mind to the child after giving birth.
So Zheng Ke seemed to be more normal than before giving birth, but her inner backbone was always on Luo Cheng.
In a blink of an eye, another month had passed, and Luo Cheng had already reduced some of the projects in his era. There was no need to toss too much, just enough for the people around him to do something. He could also be free to play with his son and daughter.
Just over here in the Xikou Hutong compound, when Luo Cheng was teasing his little daughter on his shoulders, a familiar figure appeared in front of him.
Hong Xiu was back. Although Luo Cheng was very happy to see her back, it also meant that she did not find her family after returning to her hometown. But it doesn't matter, Luo Cheng will be her family in the future.
In the past few years in the future, Luo Cheng and Liu Xiaofei almost broke up. It was her cousin Zhou Ruoxue. The three of them slept in the same bed before, and something bad happened.
There were a few times when Luo Cheng didn't wake up, and Luo Cheng felt someone touching him. He always thought it was Liu Xiaofei. Because Liu Xiaofei also had more needs in that aspect, but one day Luo Cheng was also annoyed by the touch, and always played like this late at night. He didn't feel sleepy every time.
Then one time he found that it was Zhou Ruoxue's hand, and in the face of loyalty or excitement. Luo Cheng is not a saint, he just has a woman, and he will not take the initiative to think about other women. But in such a situation, it is difficult for Luo Cheng not to get involved. In addition, he usually plays with Liu Xiaofei, and his bottom line in his mind has long been unstable.
That was the time when Luo Cheng and Zhou Ruoxue had sex outside the living room behind Liu Xiaofei's back. And there will be a second time after the first time, and this time there are too many times, and the paper can't cover the fire after all.
There was no situation of catching the adulterer in bed. Liu Xiaofei accidentally discovered the contents of Zhou Ruoxue and Luo Cheng's mobile phone. Then they quarreled. Luo Cheng let Liu Xiaofei beat and scold him at first, but Liu Xiaofei was relentless and made Luo Cheng suffer every day.
Luo Cheng knew that it was his own problem that he could not restrain himself, but if he kept doing this, it would never end. Luo Cheng was also tired, and one day he exploded directly. He did something wrong, but he had told Liu Xiaofei many times before not to let her cousin sleep with them all the time.
If they were cadres, you could give them some local specialties, peanuts, red dates, etc. as gifts. Which cadre could not accept such a test, but you, Liu Xiaofei, let her cousin Zhou Ruoxue sleep in the same bed, which was completely the same as using her cousin to make a nest. And it was Zhou Ruoxue who took the initiative. He was not a saint, and he could not withstand such a test.
If you want to break up, then break up. Anyway, at that time, they only had a wedding banquet, but the two did not get a marriage certificate because they were not of marriageable age. If you break up, it is not considered a second marriage.
When Luo Cheng got tough, Liu Xiaofei was frightened by his momentum. In addition, she didn't want to break up for real. If she really wanted to, she wouldn't have been so persistent. But she didn't know how to forgive this matter at that time.
In the end, they reconciled. On the night of reconciliation, they played very crazy. They even developed something that Liu Xiaofei wanted to try before, but Luo Cheng thought was a bit disgusting.
Everything seemed to be very comfortable. There was no need to pursue too much. There was a wife and children and a warm bed.
In this way, the stable days lasted until 1965, the era of Luo Cheng.
September 19, 1965, Changcheng Railway Station.
As long as the train came from Jiangcheng, there were people squatting. As long as the young man came out of the train, basically someone came forward to question his identity.
And the target of these people was Luo Cheng.
Now there is no evidence that the factory director has any connection with certain people, but his leadership is problematic, and he may not be able to continue to serve as the factory director.
However, this investigation found some things that happened three or five years ago. The machinery factory actually got a lot of supplies to help the refugees during the difficult period five years ago. However, the factory account simply gave some money, and it continued to give, but the amount was not large.
Under deliberate investigation and inquiry, some people collected a lot of information. They all felt that something was abnormal. Giving porridge to save people is a good thing, but we can't let go of the abnormality because it is a good thing.
The investigators did not suspect that Luo Cheng was the actual operator, but just thought that Luo Cheng was a puppet. There were people behind him who funded and instructed him to do those things, so they thought that they might be able to start from Luo Cheng and find evidence that the director of the machinery factory was also related to certain people.
How did the head of the purchasing department of this machinery factory get so many supplies? This may be a breakthrough point. Because the records show that in that warehouse, many factories did work together to give porridge to everyone, but basically they paid money. Some factories also occasionally mobilized factory employees to donate once or twice.
But according to the duration and amount of the charity that year, there was no additional record of grain distribution at the grain station, and everyone felt that there might be something wrong.
Unfortunately, Luo Cheng recently went to Jiangcheng for a business trip to get supplies. The people sent did not find Luo Cheng directly, so they arranged people to wait at Luo Cheng's home and the train station. Because the records in the factory were checked, even if Luo Cheng went out, he would basically come back in ten days, and the longest time was no more than twenty days.
In fact, Luo Cheng did not return to Changcheng. As early as when he was in Jiangcheng, Dai Tiande had asked someone to bring news to Luo Cheng. He said that someone was investigating him, and if he really had problems, he must not come back.
And Luo Cheng knew that although he did not do anything sneaky and harmful, many things could not withstand investigation. In other words, he had been dealing in food. If he dared to deal in steel materials and some controlled products, he would have been investigated long ago.
But Luo Cheng had to go back, but he did not take a train, but a truck, so he avoided the people who were waiting for him. But he could not return to the compound in Xikou Hutong, worried that someone would be waiting there.
When Luo Cheng left Jiangcheng, he confessed everything to Zheng Ke. However, Luo Cheng said that he was with Zhao Qian because her body was seen naked by others. It was difficult to marry someone in the town at that time, and he was with Zhao Qian out of sympathy.
Being with Zheng Ke was fate and love. He didn't let Zheng Ke meet his parents because he loved her and was afraid of hurting her. And now he has committed a crime and someone is investigating him.
This may be the retribution for his deception of Zheng Ke. If God gives him another chance and lets him know that he will meet his true love Zheng Ke in the future, then he will definitely not be with another woman because of softness.
If Luo Cheng's love for Zheng Ke has a time limit, he hopes it will be 10,000 years.
Then, when Zheng Ke was crying and dying, she said that she forgave his deception and begged him to run away quickly and not go back to Changcheng to fall into the trap. People who are with Luo Cheng, even fools can see that he has too many supplies. There must be something wrong.
Luo Cheng gave Zheng Ke a lot of money. In fact, Zheng Ke's salary is already very high now, and she has been working for nearly six years. She is indeed talented in literature, and her salary has increased to more than 90. Even if Luo Cheng didn't give her money, she could live well with her two children.
Now in Changcheng, Luo Cheng was hiding in the home of Qin Ru, Er Gouzi's lover, preparing to leave a huge fortune for Zhao Qian. Then he tried to hide first. He also thought about taking Zhao Qian and the children away, but it might be difficult, mainly because he didn't have a letter of introduction and might not even be able to buy a train ticket.
Moreover, the investigation was too sudden, and he couldn't guarantee that he could escape. If he was really caught, he would see how he was sentenced. If it was serious, he would not surrender.
