Chapter 96 My Man Can Act
In the yard, a 1.9-meter-tall man was holding his left arm and crying out in pain.
This made Wang Lan, the mother, look very nervous.
With a creak, the door opened.
Ma Qijun limped in with a dark face, shook his arms vigorously, and said nonchalantly:
"It's been a long time since I last saw you."
Ye Xiaomei of course knew that his arm had healed long ago, as she was the one who gave him the injection.
"I know." Ye Xiaomei's eyes sparkled and she had an unbearable smile on her lips. Although her man was 1.9 meters tall, the more she looked at him, the funnier he looked when he was being serious and funny.
However, Ye Xiaomei still wanted to get back to the point: "Can I... ask you a few questions?"
Ma Qijun took off his coat and glanced at his wife: "Just what you said."
Ye Xiaomei rolled her eyes and said mischievously, "I've heard of the 516 Wild Wolf Squad. Is it really you?"
Ye Xiaomei's heart was pounding when she asked this question. She even remembered that on the day of her wedding, she accidentally saw the man's epaulettes and eight or nine medals. Thinking of this, Ye Xiaomei's breathing became a little awkward.
Before marrying him, Ye Xiaomei knew in her heart that her status in the Ye family would not allow her to marry into any wealthy family. But because of this, Ye Xiaomei felt that she was dreaming. That was a team that had been reported in newspapers. They would defend the border at any time and were invincible.
Ye Xiaomei still remembers that when she was chasing Huihui to learn knowledge, she said that such a team was defined by the newspaper as the spirit of the Iron God of War and was a symbol of unity.
Ye Xiaomei looked at the man's simple and honest appearance, and her heart was already pounding like thunder.
Ma Qijun tidied up his bed, scratched his head and said with a smile: "That's just a title earned by the unity of brothers."
"Really?" Ye Xiaomei teased the man with her eyes slanted. He didn't believe it because Zhang Sanmao had just said that the wild wolf was talking about him, and he also said that he was the most fierce in the army:
"You are kidding me. I am an educated person who attends night school now."
As she said this, she started to pinch the man's armpit.
Ma Qijun tightly grasped the woman's arm, his eyes gleaming fiercely: "Xiao Mei, that's all in the past."
Ye Xiaomei felt a little cold in her heart for a moment. That was not the past, that was the spiritual pillar of the new socialism, yes, unity.
"I think you are great and can protect our country. Otherwise, how can ordinary people like us live and work in peace and contentment and farm and harvest?"
Ma Qijun's eyes were a little evasive, and Ye Xiaomei's smile gradually curved down:
"I... I just didn't expect to marry a good man like you, but your leg will definitely recover completely."
Ma Qijun was shocked and stared at his wife in a daze: "Xiao Mei." He held the girl's face with both hands and said word by word: "My discharge visa has arrived in the province and will arrive in the local area soon, but don't worry."
Ye Xiaomei looked around at the man with her large eyes. He actually liked the battlefield very much. Ye Xiaomei saw this:
"What is this...?"
"I made some money recently." Ma Qijun smiled and took out a plastic bag from his shirt pocket and handed it to Ye Xiaomei:
"I saw that the study environment of students in Bishui County was poor, so I charged half the tuition."
Ye Xiaomei counted and found that the salary she got back in these nine days was only 20 yuan. She suddenly looked at the man in front of her with new eyes:
"Twenty yuan can buy a lot of food. I'll buy some melon seeds tomorrow. I see my mother likes to eat melon seeds."
Having said this, she carefully kept it. This was not just twenty dollars, but also a symbol of her status as the hostess.
Ma Qijun smiled like a fool: "Don't you mind that I make too little money?"
Ye Xiaomei said nonchalantly, "This is already a lot. Besides, the study environment for children nowadays is too poor. If I could study when I was a child, I would also want to have a flat desk. When writing, the pencil would puncture the homework book as soon as it went down. It was so heartbreaking."
Ma Qijun's eyes lit up as he looked his wife up and down. She was so considerate: "Xiao Mei, just do what you like, whether it's learning knowledge or studying medicine. If you encounter any problems, be sure to tell me. I have a wide network of contacts outside. I can ask someone to find you a book you don't have. I will find a way to solve problems that I can't solve."
Ye Xiaomei's heart skipped a beat, and her breathing was lost for a few beats. She turned around, stood on tiptoe, hooked her arm around the man's neck, and buried her face deeply in his neck:
"I want to learn knowledge. If I don't learn knowledge, my life will be wasted."
"Be good, just tell me what you want to learn." Ma Qijun's strong palms were rubbing the back of the fragile little woman, but he didn't dare to use too much force.
Ye Xiaomei had a feeling of being flattered. She was actually being gently embraced by the man whom she had always called a wild wolf, and she could even feel the carefulness of his fingertips.
call……
"Brother Ma..." Ye Xiaomei struggled out of his arms, looked up at him, her cheeks flushed.
Ma Qijun lost control of himself instantly when he heard the soft voice. He picked up the woman and gently placed her on the bed:
"I like you to call me husband."
"Well……"
The willow tree outside the yard casts swaying shadows, and few people are now enjoying the cool under the tree.
"It's only the end of September, why is it so cold?"
"Your family won't harvest cotton this year, so why don't you just make a few more quilts?"
"Auntie, don't you have a lot of plants at home?"
"We must have harvested more than 50 kilograms of cotton."
The folks in Meihua Village were chatting about family matters with festive looks on their faces. No one could refuse compliments.
In the Ye family's field, Wang Minzhi was picking cotton buds one by one, and two snakeskin bags full of cotton fell behind her.
Seeing that the villagers were busy working in the fields in the afternoon, Wang Minzhi didn't say a word and just picked cotton vigorously.
Ye Xiaolin, who had been resting for a long time in the field, muttered: "How much can this cotton be sold for? In my opinion, I'd better forget it..."
"What are you talking about, you little bitch?" Wang Minzhi's anger, which had been suppressed for two days, began to rise. "Aren't you the new daughter-in-law of the Zhang family? How come you can't even get more than 2,000 yuan? Look at your belly, it's getting bigger every day. Are you trying to annoy me to death by hanging around in front of me?"
As she spoke, Wang Minzhi immediately picked up a thumb-thick cotton stalk and rushed towards Ye Xiaolin angrily:
"You have made me lose face... I asked you to do some work but you didn't do it properly... I let you be lazy, I let you be lazy..."
Ye Xiaolin was also shocked. She originally thought that her mother, who had never hit her, was just verbal, but who would have thought that the policeman would hit Ye Xiaolin again and again, each time with great force.
"Ah...Mom, you dare to hit me, are you crazy?"
Ye Xiaolin was hit and jumped on the spot. He then pulled away and disappeared in a flash.
Wang Minzhi threw away the folded cotton stalks in her hands, squatted on the ground, hugged her knees and cried: "What sin have I committed... God, can't you give me a way out?"
More than 2,000 yuan, where is she going to raise the money...
As he was crying, the villagers in the border area put down their work and gathered around him.
"What's wrong, Minzhi?"
"Auntie, why are you crying? Look how well your sister-in-law has taken care of your cotton this year. We can harvest at least ten more kilograms of cotton."
Just then, three motorcycles stopped in the fields, and several government officials in green clothes walked towards this side.
Wang Minzhi wiped her face in a mess, and when she saw the debt collector coming, she rolled and crawled into the cotton field to hide.
"What's going on?"
"Auntie, your shoe fell off..."
