Chapter 10: What if I get married and I can't get out of bed?
Ma Qijun quickly retracted his gaze and took another sip of the cool tea, pretending to be calm and said, "Your health has been so poor. Have you been to the big hospital in the city for a checkup?"
"I'm fine, I just feel dizzy for unknown reasons sometimes, maybe it's malnutrition." Ye Xiaomei felt much better after keeping some distance.
Ma Qijun nodded secretly and made a decision in his heart that he had to consult the doctor at the Military General Hospital. Since she would become his woman in the future, he had to check out the disease.
Ye Xiaomei leaned on the edge of the bed to sit up:
Ye Xiaomei blushed immediately. Fortunately, they were at a distance. She regained her senses and quickly pointed at the desk:
"I found this when I was weeding. It's good for your bone injury. Use it to make tea every day. That's it. I'm going back now."
Ye Xiaomei spoke softly. Even such an ordinary sentence contained an indescribable tenderness.
Ma Qijun turned his head to look at the corner of the table. Although the doctor said that the possibility of recovery was almost zero, he felt warm in his heart when he thought that she came so early just for his leg.
"Yeah." Ma Qijun nodded.
"I'm leaving first. I still have work to do at home." Ye Xiaomei almost ran away.
Suddenly, Ye Xiaomei stopped in the yard. She had something else to say:
"It's just a little bitter. No, it's very bitter. But you can't add anything else, like sugar."
After saying this, Ye Xiaomei jogged all the way until she could no longer run, then she stopped and looked back.
Now we are almost to the west of the village. I am not afraid anymore. The feeling of shame just now is beating in my heart like a deer.
Ye Xiaomei felt that her illness was probably incurable. Even if she married Ma Qijun as she had originally thought, at least no one would say anything when she climbed into her man's bed when she was ill.
She now felt that she was thinking too simply.
What if...when they get married, she...she becomes that kind of person, the kind of person...the kind of person who wakes up soft when she is married to Ma Qijun? Wouldn't that be...
"You'll never get up again?"
Ye Xiaomei was thinking far ahead. She also thought so. What if that happened? It was really a headache.
When she got home, Ye Xiaomei put the herbal book in her bag.
When I was tired from working, I would read some of the books while sitting down to rest, especially Chapter 9, which dealt with difficult and complicated problems.
Difficult disease? Hiss… Ye Xiaomei looked through it curiously, wondering if there was any secret medical recipe that would make her go soft when she saw Ma Qijun.
Ye Xiaomei suddenly closed the book and thought of something more important - Yidian didn't seem to know Ma Qijun, so how could there be a secret recipe specifically for making people weak upon seeing Ma Qijun?
It's just a crazy idea!
The next day, when it was still hazy, Tian Gang woke up.
He took the basket and hoe and went out.
Today's work is definitely intense, so she plans to finish early and take a walk in the mountains to see if she can find other herbs.
Suddenly, Ye Xiaomei squinted her eyes and found a car on the small road at the edge of her field through the slightly bright sky.
With the roar of the motor and a buzzing sound, the headlights dimmed a little, and when the car stopped, they became blindingly bright again.
The car lights went on and off repeatedly, and Ye Xiaomei realized that the car was stuck in a ditch.
In addition, the wheels were slippery in the mud, making it very difficult for the car to climb up.
However, it was obvious that the people in the village who could drive a car were from the Ma family. Ye Xiaomei felt uneasy. Should she go up to help or...
Facing the glaring headlights, Ye Xiaomei became a dark figure under the light. She could not see the body of the car or the people in it anyway.
Ye Xiaomei ran a few steps quickly:
"Comrade, please don't push it like that. The more you shake, the deeper the wheels will dig into the ground, making it harder to get out."
Meng Jiuer, facing the headlights, couldn't open her eyes.
Ma Qijun in the back seat of the car frowned suddenly. Isn't that Ye Xiaomei?
Pop.
The car door opened and closed.
With the help of the car lights, Ye Xiaomei found some large stones on the roadside and threw them into the deep pit caused by the shaking wheels.
The pit is almost enough to bury half of the car wheel. It would be a wonder if we can drive out.
"I'll put these gravel in there, and then you drive the car, remember to drive it in reverse and rock it back and forth."
Ye Xiaomei looked at the deep pit caused by the huge wheel and realized that she couldn't get out even if she wandered around until noon.
The driver got in the car and stepped on the accelerator. The buzzing sound seemed like the car's final struggle.
While he was moving forward, Ye Xiaomei quickly added bricks and tiles behind the tire, so that when the car couldn't get up and came back, it would just press on the filled area.
At this time, Ye Xiaomei quickly filled the front of the tire with stones and bricks. As soon as the car stepped on the accelerator, the wheel pit was filled up and it rushed out in a whoosh.
Ye Xiaomei clapped her hands as she looked at the taillights of the car, then picked up the hoe and walked towards her own land.
A trumpet-like voice came from behind: "Thank you, young lady."
Ye Xiaomei didn't turn around but waved her hand to say "thank you".
"Boss, this Miss Xiaoye is extremely smart." Xiao Hei said calmly while sitting in the driver's seat.
Ma Qijun in the back seat said in a gloomy voice: "Yeah."
He took a deep breath. Did this girl get up so early just to work in the fields?
The two of them have already planned their wedding date, looking for the most auspicious day based on their horoscopes.
The fortune teller said that the woman will bring good luck to her husband.
This made Wang Lan, the future mother-in-law, very happy.
General Ma Qi took a deep breath and released the restlessness in his heart that was like a cat's claws scratching him. At dusk, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Wang Lan was laughing so hard that her mouth was spilling out while she was eating. She was already discussing the details of the wedding in advance:
"Qijun, what do you think we should buy for Xiaomei?"
Ma Qijun lowered his head and ate his meal slowly: "Let's buy two pairs of shoes." At this moment, the pair of black cloth shoes she wore that day still appeared in his mind. It looked like they had been worn for many years and were almost broken.
"Okay, there's more." Wang Lan was obviously testing Ma Qijun's determination, fearing that he would interrupt again.
Ma Qijun put down his chopsticks and looked at his mother calmly. How could he not guess what she was thinking? "Mom, you decide."
Wang Lan was unhappy: "You don't marry a wife, I don't marry her, how can I watch over it?"
Ma Qijun rubbed his face with a headache and immediately fell into deep thought. After a while, he took out a passbook from his jacket pocket:
"Let's buy a TV."
Ma Qijun knew that the Ye family was not well off and did not even have a TV at home.
Wang Lan snatched the passbook away. This kid had been prepared for this: "You are really a mute guy."
Can Ma Qijun refute that he is not bored? It is because the more Ye Xiaomei is so determined to marry him, the more Ma Qijun feels sorry for her. He always feels that he has wasted such a good girl.
Thinking of this, Ma Qijun picked up the teacup and took a sip of water. The bitterness made the corners of his mouth twitch.
Ye family.
Ye Xiaomei and her two daughters arrived home exhausted, their clothes soaked with sweat and their straw hats wet. Ye Xiaoya quickly squeezed out some water and the two daughters washed quickly in the cool dripping water, which finally relieved some of the heat.
Ye Xiaomei chuckled: "Mom, there is something better to relieve the heat."
When Ye Xiaoya heard this, her small face lit up: "Sister, is this canned yellow peaches?"
"Smart!" Ye Xiaoya quickly ran to the corner of the wall and pulled up the hemp rope hanging on the edge of the well. The bucket was filled with canned yellow peaches that she had put in the morning. By the time she came back from work, the cans had been almost frozen by the water that had been warm in winter and cool in summer.
The mother and her two daughters stared at each other, waiting for the bucket to be brought up.
Eh? Ye Xiaomei looked and saw nothing in the bucket except water: "Where's my canned food?"
The light in Ye Xiaoya's eyes, who had never eaten anything good, dimmed instantly. She licked the corner of her mouth and was about to cry out of grievance.
Zhao Mei felt distressed when she saw this, and dragged her tired body to open the door of the east room.
