Rebirth He Yuzhu stays away from troubles

In the bustling city of Beijing, the colorful and fast-paced life makes every day like a magnificent symphony; countless people strive for their ideals here, and here everyone has his or her own job and life, jointly creating the prosperity and hope of this city.

The village where Li Waner lives is located at the foot of the mountain, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, with only natural tranquility and peace.

The surrounding mountains are stacked and the peaks are beautiful, just like a magnificent landscape painting. There are vast fields at the foot of the mountain, and around the fields there is a clear river, the gurgling river makes a pleasant sound, making people feel peaceful and comfortable.

“The mountains are beautiful, the water is beautiful, and the people are even more beautiful.”

Li Waner, who is full of hope for the future and looks forward to a better life, would stop and linger at the entrance of the village whenever she has time, expecting that he would suddenly appear.

Day after day, week after week, several months passed in the blink of an eye, and her belly went from being flat when she was a girl to a slightly bulging belly three months later.

Although, labor has kept Li Waner, who lives in the countryside, in very good physical condition, it also hides her pregnancy signs.

That day, her mother discovered her belly. Such a thing happened in the simple countryside. Her mother was about to collapse. She stared at her and kept questioning her in a low voice.

"Whose child is this in your belly? How can you be so shameless?"

"You did this, are you worthy of us, your brothers, and yourself?"

"How can you and your brothers survive in this village..."

After questioning, Li's mother continued to cry but did not dare to cry too loudly. The entire Li family was in a state of suppressed panic.

Li Wan'er, who is obsessed with love, believes from the beginning to the end that the man will come to marry her on a "colorful cloud".

Although Li's mother was furious, she knew her daughter's character well. She only needed to be coaxed. So she stopped crying and said in a tone of "I believe you." "Wan'er, if you can bring your father to find that man tomorrow and he recognizes the baby in your belly, we will believe you."

Li Wan'er looked at her mother with clear eyes and said proudly, "What's so difficult about this? We will go tomorrow. He will definitely be very happy when he knows that I have his child."

"But he is a prominent man, and we cannot embarrass him. If we go, we can only say that we are his relatives."

Mother Li's eyes lit up, and she glanced at Father Li, but she was secretly complaining, "He is still a well-known figure, but he is just deceiving a silly girl like you. If he finds someone tomorrow and can recognize the marriage, that's fine. If he doesn't want to recognize the marriage, the Li family will never forgive him."

The morning light penetrates the clouds and sprinkles on the quiet village. The mist slowly drifts across the fields, as if it is a veil covering the world. The early birds sing melodiously and cheerfully, adding vitality to the silent dawn.

The father and daughter of the Li family got up early, took the village horse carriage to the commune, and then took a bus to Sijiucheng from the commune. The two of them hurried and finally arrived at the Red Star Steel Mill in Sijiucheng after lunch.

At the gate of the steel mill, Father Li looked at his joyful daughter, shook his head and sighed, and thought to himself, "What sin did I commit in my previous life to give birth to such a heartless and silly girl."

Seeing Li Wan'er not knowing what to do, Li's father brazenly went to the security guard at the door and said he was looking for a relative. The security guard asked them what their relative's name was and what job he did.

When Li Wan'er heard the security guard ask this, she became excited and said proudly, "My cousin is Xu Damao, and he is a film projectionist in the publicity department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill."

Because the country was founded not long ago, most of the workers in the city came from rural areas, and there were many people from rural areas coming to the city to visit their relatives, so the security guard of the security department did not suspect anything and went to notify them directly.

Father Li saw the security guard actually go to notify them, and looked at his daughter in confusion, thinking, "Does my silly girl really have such a great ability?"

It was also because of the baby in Li Wan'er's belly that Xu Damao really didn't have any screening tasks today, and was slacking off in the publicity department. After hearing what the security guard said, he had nothing to do anyway, so he pushed his bicycle out of the gate.

Xu Damao walked out of the door and was stunned when he saw Li Waner and the old man smoking a pipe beside her. Fortunately, Xu Damao had experienced a lot. He calmed himself down and shouted with a smile, "Waner, you are here."

"Cousin, we left home early in the morning and haven't had lunch yet. Please take us to eat something." Li Wan'er said sweetly, giving the embarrassed Xu Damao a way out.

Xu Damao pushed the cart and took the Li father and daughter to a small state-owned restaurant, asked for a secluded private room, and ordered a few dishes.

When Mr. Li saw the waiter had left and the door was closed, he directly told them his purpose. Xu Damao, who knew the whole story, could not stop sweating on his forehead. The first thought that flashed through his mind was, "Once I went to the countryside and was set up by someone, and it was my parents who helped me deal with it. Yes, take them to my parents."

Xu Damao, who had a plan in mind, stopped sweating and greeted the Li family father and daughter enthusiastically. Seeing Xu Damao's enthusiasm, Li's father lowered his guard a little.

After dinner, Xu Damao took the Li family father and daughter directly to his parents' home in the suburbs of Beijing. As soon as they entered the house, Xu's parents were shocked. They exchanged glances, meaning, "Your son is really a sinner. He has brought trouble to the girl again. Let's see what you can do."

Fortunately, Xu's father Xu Debiao and Xu's mother Wu Fangfang were both worldly-wise people, so they calmed themselves down and started chatting about family matters.

Father Li finally lost his temper and told the whole story. Upon hearing this, Xu Debiao jumped up with joy. Wu Fangfang immediately stepped forward and held Li Waner's hand, unwilling to let it go.

Xu Debiao couldn't help but feel excited, thinking, "My only son has been married for almost 5-6 years, but his daughter-in-law is still pregnant. This Li Wan'er is really a benefactor of the Xu family. She is sending a child to the Xu family. Our Xu family will have an heir."

Xu Debiao and Wu Fangfang looked at each other. As a couple for decades, they knew each other's thoughts with just one look. So they cooperated and chatted with Li's father again, from Lou Bancheng to Xu Damao's work situation.

As Father Li listened, his face turned black and he said directly, "Our daughter from the Li family is unlucky. We can't afford to offend her. Let's go."

Xu Debiao enthusiastically held Li's father, while Wu Fangfang had not let go since she knew that Li Wan'er was pregnant with Xu's child.

"Brother Li, please listen to me and finish what I have to say. I was blamed for not saying everything before. It's my fault. I apologize first."

"Monogamy has only been practiced in this city for a few years. I suggest that Wan'er live in our Xu family's old house and become Damao's second wife."

"The Red Star Courtyard is the dormitory for the steel mill employees. There are too many people and too many gossips, so we won't go there."

"Let Xu Damao run between the two sides from now on, Brother Li, what do you think?" Xu Debiao discussed sincerely.

In fact, at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, propaganda was not thorough enough, especially in some isolated rural areas, where feudal ideas were seriously remnant, and child brides and concubines were common. The combined factors of the international and domestic environment led to the emergence of the magnificent "Ten Years of Cultural Movement".

Father Li lowered his head and did not respond. He seemed to be thinking about something or worried about something.

Xu Debiao looked at Father Li and did not refuse directly. He continued, "Brother Li, I will not play tricks with you. As long as Waner gives birth to a son, she will be the mistress of the Xu family."

"We, the Xu family, are willing to show our sincerity. We will provide 100 yuan as the betrothal gift, plus 10 kilograms of high-quality white flour. We will keep the wedding simple and do not require any dowry from your Li family. We will prepare everything for you."

In those days when marrying a wife in the countryside only required 5 to 10 yuan as a gift, Xu Debiao's words simply confused Li's father, who nodded repeatedly involuntarily. Li Wan'er, who had been listening quietly nearby, looked at Xu Damao with a red face, looking very happy.

"Da Mao, go buy a roast duck and some meat dishes. Tonight will be the wedding banquet for you and Wan'er." Xu Debiao instructed Xu Damao calmly.

Xu Damao was overjoyed, thinking, "I have a wife now, and she's pregnant with a baby." He pushed his bicycle happily and went out.

At this time, Li Waner stood up, looked at Xu Damao, and said, "Brother Mao, ride slowly, we will wait for you at home..."
