Chapter 34 - .034 With the Army
The autumn harvest started in a blink of an eye, and everyone else went to grab the rice, but He Xiaoyun and Feng Qiuyue were still at home.
He Xiaoyun is responsible for cooking for the family. Although Feng Qiuyue is not in confinement, she has recovered a lot and can take care of the baby. Basically, He Xiaoyun only needs to help wash a diaper and serve food. Sometimes she will deliver food. , The other party can help to look at Wei Yuanhang.
This afternoon, He Xiaoyun took a look in Feng Qiuyue’s room after finishing the housework.
When she was working, she asked Wei Yuanhang to take a nap with her aunt. Originally, the adult was lying in the middle, the baby was on the inside of the bed, and Wei Yuanhang was on the outside, but when she went in, she found that the little fat man woke up somehow and ran to the bed. Go inside, and Feng Qiuyue is probably too tired to wake up.
He Xiaoyun immediately said, “Hanghang, what are you doing, don’t touch my sister.”
“Hush…Mom, don’t be noisy, sister is going to sleep.” Not only was the child not afraid, but lowered her voice and said to her.
She walked a few steps closer, only to see the little doll half-closed eyes sleepily, while Wei Yuanhang seemed to pat her with a fat hand, actually coaxing her to sleep.
He Xiaoyun was surprised and funny. She didn’t dare to speak loudly. She took Wei Yuanhang out gently until the baby was asleep.
Once outside, Wei Yuanhang said triumphantly: “I woke up from sleep and my sister woke up too, but my auntie didn’t wake up, so I told my sister to continue sleeping!”
The three-year-old kid coaxed a one-month-old baby to sleep. The key is to really coax him to sleep. He Xiaoyun was a little bit dumbfounded.
After the rice is harvested, the family’s work is temporarily finished, and the issue of joining the army is raised again. He Xiaoyun thinks about it, this time there is nothing to stumble, and to go early and late, sooner or later, it is better to just set it down.
After paying attention, she went back to her family’s house and mentioned this to Li Yuegui.
At first, her mother was very happy, “Really? Don’t lie to me.”
“Really, what am I doing to lie to you with this?”
“Now it’s alright, I can feel relieved.” Li Yuegui patted her hand and said with emotion: “I have been worried before. You and Jianwei are there and the other is here. The relationship between husband and wife must be cold. If he is out there What’s the matter, we are in the dark, we can’t even hear the sound of the wind.”
He Xiaoyun said helplessly: “The more you talk, the farther and farther he is, what can he have?”
“That’s really hard to say. Not to mention that Jianwei has a good appearance, a tall man, and a cadre. How many young girls are staring at him. Your aunt has a sister who married a soldier twenty or thirty years ago. , The man went to war, she took care of the family at home, what happened? She won the war and returned as an official, and then turned around to marry a new wife!”
“There are few people who have no conscience like this.”
“Don’t you just have no conscience? Fortunately, your aunt’s sister remarried later, and now has a good time. By the way, when will you and Xiaohang go to Jianwei?”
“Only this time, the family affairs are all done, and my sister-in-law is about to be out of confinement.”
When Li Yuegui heard this, her eyes widened, “Don’t wait for next year? Seeing that the New Year is about to come, why are you still going out?”
He Xiaoyun expected her mother to say that she hoped she would join the army, and she would definitely be reluctant when she was there.
“It’s only September, and the Chinese New Year is still early. I will go now, and I will be back with Jianwei in April next year.”
Li Yuegui still complained about being too anxious and rushing, and couldn’t help but complain: “You bad girl, don’t tell me earlier, so I’m not prepared at all.”
He Xiaoyun had to say: “Jianwei only wrote to me last month to set the matter down. Hasn’t he been busy during this time.”
“When I think of you and Xiaohang going so far, it makes me feel uncomfortable. Is your mother-in-law willing to give up her grandson?”
“There will definitely be reluctance, but now that there is a baby in the family, she should feel better.”
Li Yuegui sighed, “So, raising a daughter is a disadvantage. When the daughter is raised and left with others, the child is also from someone else’s family. I have three grandchildren, which is not as good as one of your mother-in-law’s granddaughters. The sky is here.”
He Xiaoyun smiled and said, “Otherwise, I won’t leave and I will move home with Hanghang?”
Li Yuegui hurriedly waved her hand, “Don’t have this kind of thinking, you don’t want to be clean, I still want to, I really want to come back to live, people’s gossip can drown us.”
“Look, for a while, it was said that raising a daughter is a disadvantage, and I want to go home to live, and you refuse to be a daughter. It’s difficult to be a daughter.” He Xiaoyun started helplessly.
“It’s just that you’re good at talking.” Li Yuegui scolded with a smile.
In the next few days, He Xiaoyun successively told her sister, her brother, and some close people about it.
In the meantime, I also received a package from Wei Jianwei. The other party bought her face cream this time, of course, it was still three bottles.
When Wang Chunhua saw it, he said, “This is for you young people. I don’t want it. I will wipe it out when I get old and make people laugh to death.”
He Xiaoyun explained: “This is moisturized. I can’t tell if my face is dry in winter.”
“My face is the same as the old bark. Wiping it is a waste. Let’s share it with you two.” Wang Chunhua resolutely refused.
Forget the silk scarf last time, the color is darker, you can wear it when you are a guest and have a drink, and see what you bought this time? She wiped out the fragrant frost, and when someone smelled it, she said she was getting pretty old when she was old, and wouldn’t she be embarrassed to death?
The more I thought about it, the more Wang Chunhua felt that her second son was unreliable. How could a person who was so stable in the past become like this now?
He had already decided to go to the army. If he wrote to Wei Jianwei to explain the departure time, and waited for him to reply, the time would be too long, so He Xiaoyun ran to the county again to take a telegram.
In the next few days, she started to pack her luggage. Her things are easy to talk about, a few sets of clothes, some daily necessities, a few books, and nothing else. Wei Yuan’s voyage is long-winded, and the little quilt will be taken with him later. Building blocks, I have to bring small pillows later, I can’t wait to move the whole room away.
After He Xiaoyun packed his clothes, she simply put all the other things in front of him, asking him to choose: “You are only allowed to bring two more, you choose by yourself, there are too many to fit.”
This embarrassed the child, his small brows were frowning tightly, and his fingers stretched out to point at one point and another, just undecided.
He Xiaoyun asked: “The little quilt is going to be taken?”
“Yes.” Wei Yuanhang nodded repeatedly.
She put the little quilt aside, looked around the pile of things, picked up the wooden box, put the pile of wood in it, and asked, “What about this?”
Wei Yuanhang looked at the wooden box, and then at the toys on the bed, nodding hard, “…Yes.”
“That’s fine. Take these two things away. You can play with the rest as soon as you are still at home.” He Xiaoyun smiled.
The child narrowed his mouth, pitifully, “Mum is good or bad.”
He Xiaoyun squeezed his face, “No way, who told you to be my son?”
The closer to the separation, the faster the time seems to pass. When He Xiaoyun goes out to wash clothes or take a walk these days, she will look at the scenery around her. Although she hasn’t been here for long, she already likes it a bit and it’s not prosperous at all. It’s a simple and beautiful place.
Two days later, after receiving a telegram from Wei Jianwei to confirm the pick-up time there, she took the child and left Qingshuihe.
