Chapter 121 Marrying a Wife and Forgetting the Mother
Ye Xiaomei looked at the dark night outside the window and felt a chill on her back.
At least after turning the corner she could see the lights of the house and Ye Xiaomei was no longer afraid.
After parking the car, Ye Xiaomei got out of the car and saw Wang Lan coming out of the main room: "You're here, Xiaomei, you must have had a hard time taking the exam, come in and sit down, I'll go and heat up some fish soup for you."
As he said this, he pulled Ye Xiaomei to sit down at the square table in the main room.
Ye Xiaomei looked at Wang Lan at a loss as she uncovered the large bowls on the table. She looked at Ma Qijun who had followed in with confusion. What was going on? Why did her attitude change so quickly?
Could it be that the man really convinced her?
Ma Qijun just curled the corners of his lips and smiled: "Wait a moment, I'll go and help." Then he took away the two large bowls of food on the square table.
Ye Xiaomei looked at the smoke from the gas stove in the west room. Does Mom object? Ye Xiaomei breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that her man had indeed solved all the problems. She felt relieved instantly.
Soon, a large bowl of crucian carp and tofu soup, a large bowl of pork belly stewed with vermicelli, and a vegetarian dish of cabbage with vinegar were served on the table.
"Xiao Mei, the exam is hard and strains your brain and body. Don't just drink the fish soup. Come and eat more cabbage." Wang Lan moved the cabbage towards Ye Xiaomei.
Since she gave in so much, Ye Xiaomei was grateful and quickly picked up a chopstick: "Okay, Mom, I'll do it myself!"
As soon as Ye Xiaomei put it in her mouth, the acetic acid instantly exploded in her gums, making her cheeks ooze with sourness. How much vinegar must have been added? I'm afraid it was stewed directly with vinegar.
"Eat more, eat more." Wang Lan urged.
Ye Xiaomei endured the sourness in her throat and ate several mouthfuls.
Wang Lan's eyes sparkled with joy: "They say sour boys make spicy girls. I think the baby in this belly is a boy!"
Ye Xiaomei's pupils shrank, and the man saw her reaction.
"Mom, boys and girls are the same, don't worry about it, just eat your meal."
When Ma Qijun said this, Wang Lan understood what he meant: "Okay, okay, Mom won't say anything more."
Night came, the howling wind outside was pounding on the wooden door, and from time to time there was the sound of something being blown away in the yard.
Ye Xiaomei nestled in Ma Qijun's arms, feeling the hot temperature of the man, and subconsciously moved her body closer:
"Why are you so hot?"
Ma Qijun held her tightly in his arms, using his hot body to warm the woman:
"You're too cold."
Indeed, Ma Qijun even felt that her body had no temperature, like a big lump of ice. The snakes caught in summer were no different.
"But I don't feel cold." Ye Xiaomei was simply curious about why he was so hot. He was not cold even though he was wearing so little in the middle of winter. She was so envious.
"It's so cold now, and you still say you're not cold? Don't say anything. Let your husband hold you for a while to warm you up, and then have a good sleep." Ma Qijun said as he pressed her head into his chest.
There are still seven or eight days until the Chinese New Year. Ye Xiaomei is not so happy when she thinks that her husband can't be at home for the New Year.
However, this time of year is the critical time to prepare New Year's goods. Ye Xiaomei remembered that there was no egg in the dumpling soup she drank this evening, and she was planning to buy some things for her mother and Xiaoya when preparing New Year's goods.
If she counted the money, she still had 1,500 yuan. Although she was considered a "small rich woman" among the poor people in Meihua Village, she still had to plan to raise some chickens in the spring, so she would have to deduct these investment expenses.
Thinking of this, Ye Xiaomei poked her head out from under the quilt and looked at the man. Just as she was about to discuss the New Year's goods with him, she suddenly saw a picture on Ma Qijun's body.
After receiving the confirmation information, three soldiers on the Myanmar border guard line died on the spot while rescuing the abducted youth, which has alarmed the local public security department.
"What's wrong?" Ma Qijun patted the woman's back gently. In fact, he couldn't help himself once he hugged a woman.
But he later consulted a gynecologist at the Military General Hospital, who said that the dangerous period was within three months, so he had to endure it no matter what.
Ye Xiaomei thought about whether she should say it or not: "Um...Brother Ma, has the border always been uneasy?"
"Why are you asking this?" Ma Qijun lowered the curtain slightly and lovingly stroked the woman's tender little face a few times with the tip of his thumb.
"Nothing. Didn't we take the political science exam? I know you are more familiar with this subject than I am." Ye Xiaomei was satisfied with this excuse.
Sure enough, Ma Qijun didn't think much about it: "Well, the border defense line has always been unstable. For example, the most famous self-defense battle in Myanmar. Recently, it is said that a large number of deceived young people were lured there and formed a fraud gang. There are also pirates organized by refugees from neighboring countries in the North Sea. These must be guarded against."
As he was talking, Ma Qijun hugged the woman tightly and gradually fell asleep.
But Ye Xiaomei was curious: "Are you going to Myanmar this time?"
"Well, we have to bring our compatriots back intact, otherwise the fallen soldiers will have died in vain." Ma Qijun's voice gradually became softer:
"The border defense line is the bottom line of the country. We will never tolerate any neighboring country trampling on it. Once an emergency alert is issued at the maritime boundary, they must be driven out of our waters. Violators must be forcibly expelled, and it is inevitable that real guns and live ammunition will be used."
Then there was a burst of shallow breathing. Ye Xiaomei turned her back to him, pinching the corner of the quilt and playing with it, with a little moisture in the corners of her eyes.
Her man was going to the border again, and what she just saw was real.
Ye Xiaomei turned off the light cord. In the dark night, she pressed her back tightly against the man's chest, as if she must remember this temperature for only a few days.
Early in the morning, Ye Xiaomei and Ma Qijun agreed to go to the county together to buy New Year's goods.
Wang Lan had long been chatting loudly with others outside the yard: "Of course, this year, I plan to buy two plates of 500-shot firecrackers."
Aunt Wu smiled and said, "Of course not. We can't get a 200 yuan gift this year like we did before. After all, Xiaomei is pregnant with twins."
"Of course. Did your daughter-in-law run away again?"
Aunt Wu's face fell instantly: "She is spending the New Year at her parents' home this year. Look at what you said, there is not a single good word to say."
Aunt Wu went home unhappily holding the bowl, muttering to herself - I'm going to have a grandson soon, what's the big deal? I don't even know if he's going to be male or not.
"Hey, why aren't you happy when you're talking like this?" Wang Lan had a proud smile on her face, and she happily held the bowl and shouted towards the bridal chamber:
"Qijun, get up. Your dad is back. Drive to the county to pick him up. Let Xiaomei rest at home."
Ye Xiaomei was putting on her military coat. After hearing this, she looked up at Ma Qijun. He had already changed into casual clothes and was also wearing a military coat, but his coat could be used as a quilt.
"Brother Ma, I want to go. Didn't we agree to take my parents to the county civil affairs bureau to get a marriage certificate? Then I can pick up my dad when I come back."
Ye Xiaomei's voice was soft, and when she acted coquettishly, the interlaced notes in her voice almost stretched out a thread more than two meters long.
Ma Qijun's heart shuddered, and he was almost scared out of his wits. If the enemy was fighting with his wife, he would have surrendered before the battle even started.
"Go ahead, I'll say hello to my mom later."
