Chapter 424: He confessed everything once he was touched
"What's wrong?" Ma Qijun bent down, picked it up and showed it to Ye Xiaomei. Then, he opened the locked drawer and put it neatly into the box.
Ye Xiaomei held her breath and let out a long exhale. It was the medal of first-class merit.
You know, throughout history, most of the soldiers who were able to receive the first-class medal have died, but Ye Xiaomei knows that he has several such medals, and now there is another one:
"What did you do to earn this medal?"
The mission he undertook a while ago must have been extraordinary, otherwise how could he have won the first-class merit.
Ma Qijun locked the drawer and threw the key on the table. He said calmly, "I got it from rescuing hostages and hunting down enemy troops. I'll go see the kids first."
With the sound of the door closing, the tall and majestic figure in Ye Xiaomei's eyes disappeared, but she knew it was not that simple.
Wang Lan peeked through the crack of the door and smiled widely: "Xiao Mei, come on, help me watch the fire, and I'll make a good meal tonight."
Ye Xiaomei was naturally willing to do so. After finally returning home, she naturally wanted to bring out the best.
The table was filled with winter frozen fish, radish stewed pork ribs, and mutton dumplings. In order to let Ma Qi's army, who had finally returned, have a good meal, all the food was rich in meat and fish, with only one side dish: cold boiled peanuts.
Ye Xiaomei's eyes widened as she stared. This meant that all the main dishes of this year's New Year's goods had been used up. She estimated that she would only be able to eat potatoes by the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month.
But Heizi stared with his eyes and rubbed his hands, just like a fly, waiting to be eaten.
"Reporting to the commander, everything is ready. May I ask when we will attack?" Heizi stood up straight and saluted seriously.
Ye Xiaomei covered her mouth and laughed loudly.
Ma Qijun raised his lips and said in a condescending manner: "Attack immediately."
"receive."
Ma Kaiqu was stunned. He didn't even have time to put down the bottle of wine in his hand. He was planning to have a couple of drinks with his son. How could this guy be so serious?
"Don't eat too much, there are mutton dumplings in the pot." Ye Xiaomei had just finished speaking when Wang Lan shouted:
"The dumplings are here. Xiaomei made the filling herself. My mother and I made them together."
There was almost no place to put the big bowl of dumplings, so Ma Kaiqu moved a few bowls of vegetables and could only put the wine cup on the corner of the table:
"Qijun, Heihu, come on, let's have a drink together."
Heizi quickly took the wine cup with both hands: "Boss, can you drink?"
Ma Qijun rolled his eyes at Heizi and said, "It's New Year's Day, not the military. If you don't want to drink, bring it to me."
Heizi quickly put the wine cup into his pocket and said righteously, "As you command."
"Eat more, you guys. I'm going to go check on the kids first." Without even taking off her apron, Wang Lan put down the bowl of dumplings and went to the room.
"Grandson, grandma is here. We can't eat dumplings anymore. We can eat them after our little teeth grow."
For a moment, a look of relief appeared in Ma Qijun's eyes.
Ye Xiaomei saw it all. She had just fed the baby. She wouldn't have waited for her son to come back to show off.
In fact, Ye Xiaomei knew Wang Lan quite well, and she was probably afraid that she would complain to Qijun.
"What's wrong? Eat?" Ma Qijun picked up a piece of evenly fat mutton with chopsticks and put it in Ye Xiaomei's bowl:
"You are afraid of the cold, so you should eat more mutton in winter."
"Yeah." Ye Xiaomei felt warm in her heart, and for a moment she remembered her own body temperature, but she didn't feel cold.
Putting all these details together, she found that what Yuan Lao said was 200% correct. Only the body temperature of a snake would make others feel cold while the snake itself would not feel anything.
"Sister-in-law, the stuffing you picked is so delicious." Heizi's words dispelled Ye Xiaomei's worries.
"If it tastes good, eat more." Ye Xiaomei thought to herself that she had to find an opportunity to ask Ma Qijun what difficult task he had completed in the past few months to be awarded a first-class merit medal.
In fact, there were medals of second-class merit and third-class merit in that drawer. Ye Xiaomei had only looked at it once at first and could not remember how many there were. Those were all honors that the men had earned with their lives.
Ye Xiaomei felt a pain in her heart when she thought of this. She didn't know how to explain her life experience to Qijun, and she didn't know whether she would die in the future. Her guilt became even stronger.
She would be full after eating a little. Ye Xiaomei said hello and went into the house to see the baby.
Wang Lan happily swung her arms and sat down: "Qijun, you have taken care of the children, right? Am I taking good care of them? They are plump and fair. Zili and Chengshuang both weigh 36 kilograms."
"Well, that's a good one." Ma Qijun picked up the wine cup and clinked glasses with his father.
Wang Lan's face looked a little unhappy. Just three words?
She turned around and smiled as she put the delicious food into her son's bowl: "You definitely won't be able to eat such delicious food in the army, so eat more while you're home."
"That's enough, Mom." Ma Qijun looked at the bowl full of meat and quickly raised his hand to cover it, then looked towards his wife in the side room.
She was sitting on the bed with her back to the door, looking at the child.
It was obvious that the child had fallen asleep.
Ma Qijun always felt something was wrong. He felt that his wife had changed and was not as lively as before. Was she still angry? Or was she worried about something?
"Come here, son." Ma Kaiqu was very happy today. After gulping down a few glasses of wine, his old face began to turn red, and the smile on his face turned into a hilarious one:
"The living conditions in the army are definitely not as good as at home, but from the day you choose to join the army, you have to take the responsibility of defending your country."
Wang Lan rolled her eyes at her husband and said, "As the saying goes, family comes before country. Qijun, don't listen to your father's nonsense. From now on, you should go home whenever you have time."
"Hmm." Ma Qijun hummed and took a peanut to suppress the smell of alcohol, put down his chopsticks and stood up and said:
"Dad, I'm full. Let Heizi drink with you."
After saying that, he stood up and went into the side room.
After closing the door, Ma Qijun stood next to his daughter-in-law, but she didn't notice.
Her slender waist did not move, and it was obvious that she was staring at the child in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.
The child is really cute, with a pouty mouth, a round, chubby face, and long eyelashes like his wife. I didn't expect that he was born with almond eyes.
The key point is that these two kids are sucking their fingers, and they make a hissing sound even in their dreams, like fruit milk.
"Ah..." Ye Xiaomei sighed, and when she stood up, she suddenly saw the man's trouser legs, and she was so scared that her eyebrows stood up:
"Why are you walking so quietly?"
Ma Qijun stared at her in amazement. She seemed to be still just now, her eyes full of affection for their son:
"You were in a daze and didn't pay attention."
"I... did I?" Ye Xiaomei stammered, unable to speak. She didn't know why. She had never been so scared in front of anyone, but when she saw him, she always felt like a child who was afraid of adults.
"You have." Ma Qijun sat on the bed facing his wife:
"I can see that you have something on your mind, you can tell me about it." I thought to myself, I am your man, who else can you tell if not me?
Ye Xiaomei's pupils shrank. She was just joking with Heizi, how did he find out?
This made Ye Xiaomei doubt her acting skills:
"Oh, I am indeed a little worried."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Qijun suddenly became naive and raised his hand to gently pinch Ye Xiaomei's chin:
"If you confess, you will be treated leniently; if you resist, you will be treated severely. Otherwise..."
In an instant, Ye Xiaomei felt the warmth from his fingertips spread throughout her body like a branding iron:
"I...I said."
