It’s a Stepmother, Not a Sister [70s]

Chapter 64: Delay

Because of writing letters with Qi Heng lighting the lamp at night, Jiang Shuangling kept thinking about this matter in a trance after sleeping, so that she had a strange dream of a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law at eight o’clock, specifically why the strange flower Woolen cloth?

Jiang Shuangling dreamed that she was writing a letter to her mother-in-law. In the dream, Qi Heng’s mother’s face could not be seen clearly, but she seemed to keep saying that the letter she wrote was wrong. For a while, I asked her to write more about her grandson, and then she said that her handwriting was not good enough…

When she woke up and recalled this dream, she felt strange.

Before time travel, she also heard many stories of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law fighting. Later, in the 1970s, she ate countless mother-in-law and daughter-in-law melons in the village, and now she is dreaming on herself .

I only dreamed of writing a letter to my mother-in-law.

Jiang Shuangling: “…”

She regrets it a little now, she knew that she should not have mixed up with Qi Heng’s letter last night.

Jiang Shuangling opened her eyes and glanced left and right. It was late, and Qi Heng had also left. She swept around the desk and found that the letter and photo Qi Heng had already taken away. According to the man’s speed, the letter must have been sent before he returned home.

I don’t know how Qi Heng’s mother will react after reading the letter. Will she like the new daughter-in-law she hasn’t met yet?

Jiang Shuangling tried her best to recall the letter from last night in her mind, but she didn’t have a good memory by nature, plus it was too late last night, her mind was a little chaotic when she wrote it, and now the day is over I can’t recall exactly what was written in the letter.

Jiang Shuangling: “…”

Qi Heng should have been asked to wait, and they should consider how to write this family letter.

Never mind.

Don’t think about it when it’s over.

She made a simple breakfast for the children, and after sending the children to school, she planned to tidy up the house again and water the verdant vegetable field outside, which is now But her baby, she only stole food on the Internet before.

And now she really has a vegetable field, the kind that no one has ever stolen, and there is a beautiful small pergola next to it, and the loofah vines that grow out climb the vines.

—a vegetable field that belongs to her.

In the future, she plans to build a grape shelf in the corner, and sit under the vine shelf to enjoy the shade in summer. If she can make a small swing, she will be happier.

In the morning, Jiang Shuangling made some egg dumplings and carrot meatballs. She asked Mrs. Song to help make some tofu. When it was noon, the orderly Zhang brought two treated rabbits and some Pork belly.

“This is a rabbit raised on our farm. It’s fat, sister-in-law. It’s already been killed.”

“Does it cook here?”

“Should I help?”

“No, no, I’ll do it.”

There were rabbits, fish, pork, and snails at night. Jiang Shuangling planned to kill another duck, thinking that it would be enough for their men. I don’t know if Qi Heng drinks or not.

Originally, she wanted to talk to Wang Xueshu next door, but she was so busy with various things that in the afternoon, she didn’t think about it.

But at noon, Jiang Shuangling vaguely smelled an indescribable smell from the next door.

But she was making spicy rabbit head.

Because there are two rabbits and two rabbit heads, Jiang Shuangling made a lot of marinade yesterday, and people here generally like to eat chili, she thought about it and simply tried to make it Order the spicy rabbit head.

As for the taste.

Jiang Shuangling: “…”

This is not something she can guarantee.

She, a person who doesn’t like spicy food, has done her best, but after she mixed the marinade, she still went to Sister Song to try it out.

Sister Song was full of praise for her stewed dried tofu and kelp, and also praised her taste, “enough and spicy.”

Jiang Shuangling smiled in cooperation, thinking that it was really cool enough, so cool that she didn’t dare to try it.

But if Mrs. Song likes it, other people can probably accept the taste.

After all, Mrs. Song’s cooking skills are well-known in their family’s courtyard. Of course, in order to take care of the poor people who don’t eat spicy food, Jiang Shuangling also made not very spicy marinade, two rabbits, One marinated, one fried.

The rabbit on her side is preparing, and the snail is also rolling in the spicy soup, and the aroma makes her, a cook, feel happy and satisfied.

However, she doesn’t eat spicy food very much.

I feel a little choking.

But Jiang Shuangling tasted the taste and it was very delicious. After coming here for a long time, she can gradually eat a lot of peppers.

Put some chili peppers when cooking, it’s quite exciting.

The soup pot of braised vegetables on her side was constantly fragrant, and Wang Xueshu, who was next door, sighed at the meal of Head He.

“How are you doing today?”

Wang Xueshu only felt a toothache: “Take a rest tonight and eat some food in the cafeteria.”

“Why are you so busy these past two days? You still run to your house at noon, and the people next door have never come back at noon.”

If she eats this man’s food continuously, she will definitely get angry.

Wang Xueshu misses the “delicious food” in the cafeteria very much now, and the chefs in the cafeteria have real skills and skills.

Of course, she is also very envious of the craftsmanship of Xiao Jiang next door.

“Okay.” After three meals in a row, Head He couldn’t take it anymore.

It’s like taking a “remember the bitter and sweet” education class.

“Isn’t this your home recently, I can’t be considerate to run home to accompany you.” Wang Xueshu’s work nature used to travel a lot for business trips, and finally stayed at home for a few days to rest, why? Of course, the head of the regiment wanted to run home every day to see his daughter-in-law for a while.

Even let him cook.

I originally thought that his cooking would enhance the relationship between husband and wife, and increase the human atmosphere at home, but he didn’t want to have the opposite effect.

He doesn’t have the slightest culinary talent, Head He thought to himself, he clearly followed the same action as the monitor, and the same steps, why the food he cooked was different?

Is it not his own problem, but their kitchen problem? Is the spatula inappropriate for the stove? ?

When the two children came back at night, Qi Heng also brought the guests into the yard, Jiang Shuangling just happened to handle the food, the deputy battalion commander, company commander, platoon commander, and foreman were all very handsome Tall and big, sitting down in the hall of their house, it suddenly seemed that the room became narrow.

Jiang Shuangling asked the children to take out the dishes and dishes, and counted them outside, and found that there were eight or nine people, all men, fat and strong, sitting upright, just looking at their body shape, You can guess the whole body of tendon meat.

There are two more than what Qi Heng said, thanks to her preparing enough weight.

“Hello, sister-in-law.”

“The daughter-in-law of our camp chief’s family is so beautiful.”

“No wonder the battalion commander always feels like a different person after marriage…”

…

Jiang Shuangling did not feel the change in Qi Heng after marriage, but Qi Heng was sitting among the men at this time, she felt that the other party was not the same as usual, before she always felt that the other party was not at home Cover up your fierce aura, deliberately put your face to be scary, and now you are just like a tiger with open fangs that is not easy to mess with.

It seems that he is a big cat in front of her on weekdays.

A group of tall men gathered together, even if they were joking, they still gave people a sense of oppression that could not be ignored.

If this group of people go out to eat at the restaurant together, the boss will be worried.

Jiang Shuangling was also subconsciously nervous, but she was used to seeing Qi Heng on weekdays, and she helped entertain guests with a smile on her face.

“This dish is so beautiful and the craftsmanship is so good.”

“Our battalion commander is very lucky.”

“Liu Jin couldn’t tell before, but as soon as he heard that he was at the battalion commander’s house, he had the cheek to follow.”

“Have a drink—”

…

hot.

The fishy smell and the fishy smell also turned into an attractive delicacy.

taste buds.

The deputy battalion Chang Jiang Jian looked at the pile of beautiful and delicate dishes in front of him and thought that their battalion commander’s daughter-in-law is really a careful person.

No wonder the battalion commander went home for dinner every day after his marriage, and he never saw him step into the cafeteria at night.

It is enviable.

“Vice Jiang, what are you stunned for? Come and have a drink today.” A man who was 1.9 meters next to him put his arm on Jiang Jian’s shoulder and looked from a distance, It’s like taking a bear’s paw.

Jiang Jian was stunned by him, and laughed and scolded: “You give me a little more time.”

So he pulled the other’s arm with his backhand, and just sat and gestured.

Jiang Shuangling: “…”

She walked to the door and glanced at the next door, thinking that the head of the next door, He, was happy all day like a good-natured and kind person, and their big cat brought The group of people watching, one by one, looked so fierce.

No matter how soft and joking this group of people is, they give people a “I’m not a good person to be easy to mess with” faces.

Of course, one of them was wearing glasses, that is, Sun Mingchong, the instructor in the camp, who looked the most kind.

“Sister-in-law, what are you looking at?”

“Nothing to see, I’ll go get some water and come back.”

“This, this… sister-in-law, you rest, let’s do this kind of thing, how can we let you do it. ”

A tall tall man who was dark and tall with a simple and honest smile went to help Jiang Shuangling draw water. After the fight, she seemed a little embarrassed. Jiang Shuangling felt that he must have something to say to her Chat alone.

“Sister-in-law…”

Jiang Shuangling wondered: “What’s the matter with you?”

“I just heard that this… is the head of He’s house living next door?”

Jiang Shuangling nodded, “Yes.”

“I just have something… I have something, I have something…” The man stammered, “I have something” for most of the day.

Such a tall man wriggled in front of her, Jiang Shuangling found it interesting, and before the other party finished speaking, she could probably guess what the other party was asking for.

I asked about the head of He’s house next door, what can he have in his house? The other party would never ask Head He’s cooking skills. Of course, the question was about Wang Xueshu’s side. Wang Xueshu is still working in the art troupe, and then think about what the art troupe has? Of course a beautiful unmarried girl.

What this person wants to ask must have something to do with the girl.

Jiang Shuangling saw him faltering for a long time, and laughed and joked: “Don’t you want me to help you find out which girl in the art troupe?”

Le Qin’s face immediately flushed red, his eyes widened, and he seemed to give up, ‘sister-in-law, help me to ask…”

Jiang Shuangling: “…”

I didn’t expect her to guess right.

“Okay, tomorrow I’m going to talk to Head He’s daughter-in-law.” By the way, support Wang Xueshu verbally.

“What do you want to ask?”

“Excellent!” Le Qin immediately looked at her with the look of a great savior, and said his own affairs like a bean.

It is probably because he accidentally met a girl surnamed Lin in the art troupe. The two also wrote letters to each other and became pen pals. I’ve met someone, but this girl surnamed Lin hasn’t heard back for a long time.

Le Qin wanted her to help to find out what the girl surnamed Lin meant.

Jiang Shuangling nodded, “Then I’ll help you to inquire, but I can’t control the girl’s meaning.”

Leqin nodded, “Oh, sister-in-law, I forgot to mention, my surname is Le, my name is Leqin, you can just call me Xiaole.”

Legend?

“Is it the music of music? Your surname is quite rare.” Jiang Shuangling vaguely felt that she had heard it somewhere.

Looks like…

The last time I took the children to catch loach at night, it seemed that I heard the young man in the cooking class chatting with the hygienist, saying that there was a company commander surnamed Le in Qi Heng’s camp, who was very strict and scary. Mi Jiu’s iron-blooded man could teach him to cry.

The company commander with the surname Le Horror Devil in everyone’s rumors, shouldn’t it be the honest and honest big man in front of him?

Jiang Shuangling: “…”

This world is so small?

“Yes, music music, you are so smart, sister-in-law. My surname is quite rare. I am the only one in our camp.”

Jiang Shuangling thought it was him.

“Tomorrow I’ll help you find out.”

This big man surnamed Le may not understand, he is probably a big celebrity, maybe Wang Xueshu still knows him.

“Sister-in-law, thank you.”

, Jiang Shuangling couldn’t help but add a bit of goodwill to them in her heart.

At least it saves her cleaning.

However, these people also eat a lot. Jiang Shuangling prepared a lot of meals, almost all of them were eaten up. They are very edible, but according to Jiang Shuangling’s observation, Qi Heng is considered a group of people who are more able to eat in public. Food, of course, if you really have to compete, it’s comparable.

A bunch of big eaters.

The two children, Qi Yue and Jiang Che, ate and drank, and now they are happily staying in their small room, reading and drawing. When Jiang Shuangling is free, she will give The two drew some simple little picture books.

These picture books are almost also changed from their elementary school textbooks. In this special era, Jiang Shuangling certainly did not dare to scribble other things at will. .

It just happened to be convenient for the two little guys to learn, they are transfer students, they are different from other children, but after this period of study, the two children followed the class at school without any effort , Teacher Yao said that these two are smart children.

Before, I didn’t even want to write my own name, but now I haven’t studied for a long time, and I can already write a small composition. They both wrote an essay for Jiang Shuangling on the last spring outing.

The little composition written by Qi Yue almost didn’t make Jiang Shuangling laugh to death. He said that playing the eagle and catching the chicken is meaningless. It is better for him to be the eagle. Now I don’t want to be a tiger, I want to be an eagle.

Jiang Che’s composition is quite satisfactory. He used short sentences to emphasize the passage of the day. At the end, he did not forget to write a rainbow fart, complimenting her sister’s beautiful clothes today. The red bean pancakes are delicious.

“You two go to bed early.”

“Mom, when will our family portrait be hung up?” Qi Yue asked her lying on the head of the bed.

“Sister, I want to see photos too.”

“We’ll hang the frame when your dad is done, and hang one in your small room.”

Jiang Shuangling felt a little regretful in her heart. Is it because the photos were not washed enough? If I knew earlier, I should have kept a few more photos. When the time comes, I will get an album and save the photos of the two children when they were young.

“When will he do it?”

“You have to ask your father, your brother-in-law.”

“Sister, there is still a smell outside.”

“The uncles haven’t dispersed after drinking. The two of you are young, so you can’t drink for the time being.”

Jiang Shuangling instructed the two little guys to go to bed early and walked out of the children’s room. After the guests came today, she felt that their home seemed a little small, but now everyone is leaving After that, the hall became empty again.

Just like Jiang Che said, there is an unfinished smell of alcohol, slightly pungent, and people who don’t drink are generally unaccustomed to this smell.

Jiang Shuangling did not count how much wine these men drank, but according to her estimate it would not be too little. Before, a bowl of wine was accidentally poured on the ground, so even after cleaning, there was still one left. The smell of the wine is expected to disperse tomorrow.

She pushed open the door of the next room, and as soon as she opened the door, she looked at Qi Heng who was sitting beside the bed after taking a shower. Seeing her opening the door, Qi Heng subconsciously raised his head to look at the door go.

Jiang Shuangling: “…”

The first second when the other party looked over, Jiang Shuangling realized that something was wrong with the man. Although Qi Heng looked at her, her eyes seemed to wander.

It may be difficult for ordinary people to capture such details, but Jiang Shuangling, who is good at observing, can easily see the change in a person’s expression, especially if this person is a man she likes.

Jiang Shuangling didn’t speak, she walked quietly to Qi Heng’s side and sat down. During this process, Qi Heng’s eyes kept following her, and her whole body was still sitting upright, as if in It’s like attending a meeting.

When Jiang Shuangling got close to Qi Heng, she smelled a strong smell of alcohol coming from the other party. Yes, this man seems to have been drinking a lot of alcohol tonight.

Jiang Shuangling’s heartbeat slowed a beat, guessing that the other party was drunk?

Just now when the people hadn’t dispersed, Jiang Shuangling found that Qi Heng was still sitting there, looking at him calmly from a distance, although he spoke few words, it was normal, and later helped to pack up the things , including going to take a bath in the back, there was no big movement.

But now it seems a little cold and dull.

How to describe the state of the other party at this time?

Jiang Shuangling pondered for a while, thinking that although it looks like nothing on the surface, in fact, the “latency” is relatively high, just like when you operate the mouse, you hold the mouse and move it For most of the day, after several seconds, the mouse on the screen moved.

There is a delay.

Jiang Shuangling pushed gently on his arm and said tentatively, “Qi Heng?”

Qi Heng’s eyes stayed on her, without blinking or speaking, his head tilted slightly.

“Are you drunk?”

Jiang Shuangling doesn’t drink alcohol, and she rarely sees drunk people. She only knows that most drunk people love to sleep in a daze, and she has never seen such a drunkard up close.

Looking at Qi Heng’s appearance, although a little drunk, the wine should be good.

“Qi Heng?” Jiang Shuangling called the other party again.

The other party still did not respond at all, looking straight at her with her eyes open. When Jiang Shuangling thought that the other party had been unresponsive, she heard a voice from the man’s mouth: “Here.”

Jiang Shuangling was stunned for a moment, and then she felt amused, she was drunk and staring, and she would say “arrive”.

Jiang Shuangling: “Take a break and stand at attention!”

Qi Heng: “…”

Jiang Shuangling: “…”

Jiang Shuangling waited for a long time, but found that the man who had soared with delay looked at her motionless, as unresponsive as before.

Afraid that the other party might not have heard it just now, she added an imposing sentence: “Turn right.”

Qi Heng: “…”

The other party’s head is not tilted.

Jiang Shuangling found that this man was very drunk and amusing, she couldn’t help but raised her hand and patted him on the shoulder, sighing: “You only talk about it, but there is no actual action, Comrade Qi Heng .”

“The organization is disappointed in you.”

Qi Heng stared at her.

Jiang Shuangling was a little flustered by him. This person was born with a pair of peach blossom eyes. When she looked at her so fascinatedly and drunk, she always gave her a kind of affectionate feeling that was half a smile but not a smile.

Illusion.

She couldn’t help but feel a little hot. Now she is with an alcoholic, and she still doesn’t know when Qi Heng will sober up.

“Qi Heng, why don’t you go to bed earlier?”

Woke up from sleep, probably from alcohol.

As soon as Jiang Shuangling’s voice fell, she saw Qi Heng suddenly stand up. He stood in front of her with a straight body. Except for his eyes, he could not see the appearance of being drunk at all.

Just when Jiang Shuangling thought that the other party would perform a show for her to take a break and turn to the right, Qi Heng sat down beside her again.

Jiang Shuangling: “…”

The man in front of him looked at him blankly, and said in his usual cold voice: “I…”

The man said a long list of his debriefing reports today without any pause, making Jiang Shuangling stunned for a moment.

The alcoholic’s words are clear and logical. At the same time, he pays attention to the combination of long and short sentences. The process does not stop at all, as if he is reading the manuscript without thinking.

Jiang Shuangling was at a loss, so Qi Heng was drunk or not, and what he said to her when he went home, was it possible that he had typed it when he got home? Otherwise, remember to tell her how to get so drunk.

No…

You are so drunk, can you still remember your belly draft?

“Qi Heng? Qi Heng? Wait, you’re done? Do you know how many words you said to me today?”

“One thousand and three,” After saying this, Qi Heng paused and continued: “Now one thousand and seven.”

“Stop, stop.” Jiang Shuangling was speechless, if the other party continued to count like this, he would be able to count for one night, “You drunken person is even more awake than me. clear?”

She believed that Qi Heng, a goddess, could indeed count when drunk.

“The first time I saw you drunk today, I didn’t expect you to look like this when you were drunk.”

Jiang Shuangling held her cheeks and pondered hard, and now she is not sure whether the head of the drunken man in front of her is clear or not.

Say he is drunk, his mind seems to be awake; say he is not drunk, but his reaction is slow, and the whole person is confused.

Would you like to try how he is doing now?

Will she be knocked down by her?

Jiang Shuangling was a little eager to try, but she finally held back. Everyone’s body has an instinctive reflex, and if she kills her and is counterattacked by Qi Heng’s body instinctively, it will be unlucky.

“Forget it…”

Jiang Shuangling thought it was okay, she wanted to push Qi Heng down and put a quilt on him to sleep, but she suddenly felt that it was rare to encounter this man who was drunk, and it was impossible to make a memory without doing something.

“Qi Heng, are you still drunk?” Jiang Shuangling pulled the other’s hand and dangled her five fingers in front of the man’s eyes.

“Comrade Qi Heng, what time is this?”

“Five…”

“Very well, you can still answer.”

“Then you call me good sister now.” After saying this, Jiang Shuangling felt blushing, but she thought that after ordinary people are drunk, they probably have no memory of being drunk when they wake up.

She suddenly felt that she was the king of the daughter country.

Qi Heng: “…”

“Brother, why don’t you act like a spoiled brat?”
