Chapter 429 Fortune Teller
"nice."
Ye Xiaomei's heart was pounding like thunder, but she soon regained consciousness.
After China drove out the invaders and was officially liberated that year, the people entered a period of reform and rapid development with a great leap forward in labor. In her impression, war has disappeared since then.
Moreover, with economic development in just forty years, China has officially stood at the top of the world - how could war happen again?
Ye Xiaomei muttered to herself.
Ma Qijun's keen hearing immediately heard: "Wazhou has already contacted other countries to form allies and discovered China's greatest treasure of prosperity."
Ye Xiaomei was stunned for a moment, she remembered what Mr. Yuan said.
Ma Qijun did not say anything. In fact, he had no intention of accepting this task at first.
Zhao Jinlong wanted to take the job at that time, but he was best at naval deployment, and some things really required an all-round and versatile person.
At that time, Commander Feng had only one sentence - Ma Qijun is a tough guy who can't be killed even by three cows. You are the one.
However, Ma Qijun was in a hurry to return to visit his relatives at the time, so he just said he would think about it.
But, when he saw the so-called tattoo on his wife's body last night, he made up his mind at once.
The night before the first day of school was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and every household started making Yuanxiao in the morning.
With firecrackers blasting and red lights lighting up every house, the festive atmosphere of the New Year is once again reaching its climax.
The most pleasing thing is that today is a sunny day, and the cold and noble moonlight covers the entire Meihua Village. The moonlight dancing on the roof is dotted with stars, which is very beautiful.
It was midnight and the children were still playing at the door.
Dinner was very simple, with a big bowl of Yuanxiao for each person. The two little ones were miserable and could only drink some soup.
Ma Qijun was stubborn and insisted on giving the little boy some Yuanxiao. As a result, a large piece of Yuanxiao stuck to his upper jaw, causing Wang Lan to scold him:
"You are such an adult, but you are so stupid. How sticky are these Yuanxiao dumplings?"
"That's right, he became stupid after being a soldier." Ma Kaiqu also followed suit, and suddenly changed the subject:
“When can you retire?”
Ye Xiaomei was slightly stunned. She didn't know why her father-in-law brought up this matter. Besides, her husband was capable. He was now the head of a group and his career was on the rise.
Moreover, as the regiment commander, he is a direct regiment commander and does not need to be promoted to the position of brigade commander. Maybe he can directly take up the position of division commander in the future.
Ma Qijun was also stunned: "I don't have such plans for the time being."
Ma Kaiqu said in a more serious tone than ever before: "It would be best to change careers now. Wouldn't it be nice to have a stable position in a local government agency? You don't have to work in the army."
Ye Xiaomei put down her bowl and chopsticks subconsciously. Her father-in-law was a little abnormal today.
Even Wang Lan felt something was wrong: "Why did you say that? Our son is an official after all, and he has a good future. How can you just retire? You don't think I can't take care of the child, do you?"
Unexpectedly, Ma Kaiqu was not joking and slammed the wine cup on the corner of the table: "As a woman, you don't understand what men are talking about, why are you butting in?"
Wang Lan was stunned and opened her mouth but no words came out. Obviously, she also felt that something was wrong with her husband today.
For example, right now, on weekdays, it is normal for him to drink two glasses of wine with some snacks, but today is the Lantern Festival, so he can drink three or four glasses of wine with the Lantern Festival.
Ma Qijun also noticed something was wrong: "Dad, what's going on?"
Ma Kaiqu smacked his lips and said with a worried look: "There is a fortune teller in the village who said that there will be a war in the next two years. I am worried that I am old and you are my only son. If you die in a war, there will be no one to see you off to the grave."
Ma Qijun and his wife looked at each other.
Ye Xiaomei spoke first: "Dad, where did you hear this from? Which fortune teller?"
"He's the gentleman who lives in the Niu family. He's very accurate in his predictions. He even predicted fortune for the grandson of the Li family the day before yesterday, and everything he predicted was accurate." Ma Kaiqu ate a Yuanxiao (Chinese rice dumpling) and before he could explain, someone came outside.
They were some neighbors who came to play poker with Ma Kaiqu.
The moon is very bright on the Lantern Festival, and everyone is in high spirits. They can’t fall asleep for a while.
The first thing Ye Xiaomei thought of was Old Yuan. Why hadn't he left yet? From the sound of it, he was living in Daye Niu's house.
When Heizi came back from refueling, several old men in the living room had already started playing Poker.
Wang Lan slept in the house with her two children.
Ye Xiaomei looked at Ma Qijun worriedly, and opened her mouth several times before she said, "What if there really is a war?"
Ma Qijun folded his uniform neatly and said:
"If the mission fails, then fight."
He said it very naturally, as if he was sure of victory.
But there are some things Ye Xiaomei doesn't know how to say. For example, she has a memory from the 21st century, but she doesn't know where this memory comes from.
However, in this memory, there has been no war since the Liberation War. How come war broke out again now?
Secondly, Ye Xiaomei still didn't understand, so she didn't dare to jump to the conclusion that there would be no war.
Seeing his wife was deep in thought and hadn't said anything, Ma Qijun smiled and asked, "Why? Are you worried about me?"
Ye Xiaomei finally regained consciousness and nodded: "A little bit, but I still believe you. If this secret mission is handled well, you also said that there will be no war."
After Ye Xiaomei finished speaking, Ma Qijun curled his lips lightly:
"Of course, but I will definitely not retire now. 615 and the Navy are the direct locations of the invasion of the Japanese island nation, and are also the strongest line of defense. But don't worry, our Chinese soldiers are strong, and a small bullet-shaped area is not a threat."
Ye Xiaomei was a little infatuated for a moment. When her husband said this, he sounded like a great monarch, high above and extremely confident.
If it were in ancient times, he would have to be a general who protected the country if not an emperor. For a moment, Ye Xiaomei couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"What are you laughing at?" Ma Qijun's mouth corners tightened.
Ye Xiao looked at the man with eyes as charming as peach blossoms, but smiled without saying a word.
Ma Qijun was stunned. What was this little girl thinking? Even her smile made people feel itchy.
In a blink of an eye, it was the 16th day of the first lunar month. Ma Qijun had a frown on his face for the past two days. Ye Xiaomei saw it but did not ask any further questions.
Because the most correct thing to say is: work matters.
Since she didn’t want to say it, Ye Xiaomei didn’t ask.
But Ma Qijun still fulfilled his promise to send her to Chaocheng to study.
In the back seat, Ma Qijun looked at his wife from time to time, but his movements were not as sticky as before.
It is a complex emotion.
"What's wrong?" Ye Xiaomei asked back.
Ma Qijun changed the subject: "Nothing, there is dried fish that mom made for you in the trunk, and she also brought some dried radishes. You like spicy food, so mom added some chili powder..."
After saying this, Ma Qijun pinched his brows.
Ye Xiaomei couldn't help but feel uneasy. They had been making love several times last night. Could it be that they were tired?
"Heizi, why are you driving so slowly?" Ma Qijun suddenly asked Heizi who was sitting in the driver's seat in a sinister voice.
Ye Xiaomei only then noticed it and looked out of the car window in surprise. A yellow ox pulling a cart passed by.
