Chapter 378 Photos
……
After eating the New Year’s Eve dinner, the New Year is over.
In a blink of an eye, when Xu Manyue was out of confinement, the child changed every day and looked more like Shen Jingming.
He had received the letter I wrote to Shen Jingming last time, and he also sent back a letter, three hundred yuan, some food coupons, cloth coupons, brown sugar coupons, etc.
After receiving the letter, Xu Manyue opened it and took a look.
This time was finally different from the past. Before, Shen Jingming basically only had a few sentences in his letters, and they were almost the same every time, nothing special.
This time, he wrote an extra paragraph in the letter, asking about the child's condition and her situation.
Finally, Shen Jingming wrote in the letter that if she was free, she should take the child to the town, take two photos of the child, and send them to him.
Xu Manyue quickly finished reading the letter and then folded it up.
Now that she has finished her confinement, her health has recovered a lot.
It's time to go to work. Before going to work, take a few photos with the children, send two to Shen Jingming, and keep one as a souvenir.
Children change every day, and when Tuantuan grows up, he will have something to look back on.
Early the next morning.
Xu Manyue said something to the old lady and was planning to take the child to the town.
When the old lady heard that it was her third son who said that, she couldn't help but sigh, "It's time to take a couple of photos and show them to Jingming."
"You three still don't know when you can be reunited as a family, so a photo would be helpful."
"Oh, wait a minute. Speaking of which, Tuan Tuan hasn't met his father yet. I happen to have a photo here. It was taken when Jingming was in the army. I'll give it to you. When you have nothing to do, take more photos of Jingming and show them to the child."
"Because in the future when you three are reunited as a family, your child won't recognize his father."
As the old lady spoke, she ran back to the house to get the photos.
After the photo was taken out, Xu Manyue took it and looked at it, and couldn't help but be stunned.
In the yellowed old photo, a young man with youthful eyebrows and handsome appearance is wearing a shirt and standing tall, like a green bamboo, with a bit of elegant bookish air.
The old lady pointed at the person in the photo, a trace of nostalgia flashing in her eyes.
"At that time, the third child was only seventeen or eighteen years old. He had already been admitted to university, but because his family was poor and couldn't even afford the travel expenses to Beijing, he didn't continue his studies."
"Otherwise, there's someone in our family who's a college graduate, at least a city cadre."
"The third child has always been quiet and not competitive. Sometimes even I, as his mother, would ignore him. But as he grew up, he gradually became more and more outstanding among his brothers."
"Whether it's studying, intelligence, or work, he's the best among the brothers."
“Sometimes even the eldest brother doesn’t dare to contradict the younger brother.”
As she spoke, the old lady's eyes reddened slightly. "I still remember that day when the admission letter came, the usually cold-tempered third child smiled for the first time."
"He ran all the way from the commune to our doorstep with his admission letter, and then ran to me."
"Tell me, Mom, I got admitted to a good university in Beijing."
"I was very happy at the time, but after being happy, I couldn't smile anymore when I thought about not being able to take out any money from home."
"The third brother must have noticed that I was not in the right mood. Before I could say anything, one night later, he said he didn't want to go to college and wanted to join the army."
"Later, he really joined the army and sent money home every month. In retrospect, our family has been better off than other families these years, all thanks to the money the third brother sent back."
When she talked about this, she always felt guilty towards her third son.
From childhood to adulthood, she, as his mother, always ignored him. When he finally grew up and was admitted to university, he had to give up studying for the sake of his family, thus choosing a more difficult path.
Fortunately, he managed to make it through. Now he has a wife and children, and he holds a good position in the army. He is just waiting to reunite with his family of three in the future.
Xu Manyue stroked the young and handsome boy in the photo, and a complex look flashed in her eyes.
If… if he hadn't chosen to join the army, if he was now like Boss Shen and the others, working on the farm at home, and then when he was old enough, he would follow his family's arrangements to get married and have children…
She and he...probably won't become husband and wife, let alone have children.
The old lady saw Xu Manyue staring at the photo and smiled. "How was it? Was your man handsome back then?"
None of her sons is ugly, especially the third one, who inherited the best qualities of her and the old man and is extremely handsome.
Xu Manyue pursed her lips and smiled, "Mom, please stop teasing me."
There is actually a big difference between Shen Jingming at seventeen or eighteen years old and Shen Jingming at twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, especially in their temperament. It is difficult for people to associate the two with each other.
But the only thing that hasn't changed much is appearance.
Shen Jingming, who was twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, looked a little more profound than when he was sixteen or seventeen. His eyebrows and eyes were more mature, and he exuded a strong masculine aura. He was cold and aloof, but his facial features had basically not changed.
The old lady glanced at Xu Manyue's slightly flushed face and couldn't help laughing again.
"You and the third brother are quite a good match in appearance. You are both handsome, and even your children are handsome."
"I made the right choice by choosing you as the third son's daughter-in-law."
"If it were your cousin, these two would have been gone long ago."
Xu Manyue was slightly stunned. Speaking of Xu Mingyue, she hadn't thought of this person for a long time.
The last time I heard of this person was half a year ago, when Shen Minghua and Lu Huaiyuan just got together.
In fact, before the two got married, Xu Mingyue went to find Lu Huaiyuan, and the whole team knew about it.
To outsiders, Xu Mingyue and Lu Huaiyuan have been husband and wife for a long time. Not only do they have children, but they also live together.
Even though they later separated without a word and found their own partners, they still had a relationship.
Therefore, the night before Lu Huaiyuan and Shen Minghua's wedding, he secretly met with Xu Mingyue, which caused a lot of gossip in the team.
It is said that Lu Huaiyuan still has his ex-wife in his heart, and he married Shen Minghua just to piss off Xu Mingyue.
All kinds of rumors spread everywhere, and everyone thought that Shen Minghua would not continue to marry Lu Huaiyuan, but unexpectedly, she still married him.
Two people got married, but they had nothing except a marriage certificate.
On their wedding night, Xu Mingyue made a scene again, and in the end, she was kicked out by Lu Huaiyuan.
