At night, Yang Qiujin was rubbing the pot in the kitchen. Li Xiu'e came over and urged her, "Qiujin, the pot has been unused for several years and is rusty. Why are you wiping it? Go to bed quickly."
Now that her son has returned, Li Xiu'e is eager for him and his wife to make a little man as soon as possible.
The old man died, and she had a bad relationship with her stepson and stepdaughter. The house was lonely and deserted. Only Tianyou had a grandson. If Qiu Jin had another child, no matter whether it was a son or a daughter, the house would be more lively than before. Seeing that Yang Qiu Jin did not enter the house for a long time, she would come over to urge her.
Yang Qiujin knew very well what her mother-in-law was thinking and was helpless. She was forced to marry Chen Shengqing. She was afraid of him on the wedding night, but she heard Tian Chunlian telling several female guests in the house that they were forced to get married and that Chen Shengqing might despise her and would not even touch her. She felt upset.
Later, Chen Shengqing, wearing festive clothes, was outside entertaining guests. He was drunk and staggering. He staggered into the room and leaned against the door to look at her.
He had deep black pupils, red lips and white teeth, and his face was so handsome that Yang Qiujin's heart was pounding when he looked at her. Thinking of Tian Chunlian's words, she simply gritted her teeth, undressed herself, and hooked her hands around his neck...
Thinking of this, Yang Qiujin blushed. The man was too strong. The wedding night was not as wonderful as she had expected. That night she was half in pain and half in the clouds, moaning non-stop.
After that night, she couldn't get out of bed, and her legs were shaking when she got up. Tian Chunlian laughed at her for a long time, and she was very resistant to that thing afterwards. He saw that she was unwilling, so he didn't touch her again.
It is not known whether this incident caused a rift in the relationship between the two. Chen Shengqing enlisted in the army soon after, and more than a month after he left, Yang Qiujin found out that she was pregnant...
Now facing Chen Shengqing, she was half shy and half embarrassed.
Logically speaking, they are husband and wife and have a child. It is normal for them to sleep in the same bed and do that.
But they hadn't seen each other for seven years and there was no romantic relationship between them, so when it came to really doing that thing, she always felt weird in her heart, so she lingered in the kitchen and was unwilling to go back to the room.
She was unwilling to go back, as her mother-in-law was still watching her. Yang Qiujin walked into the west room with three steps. Tianyou was rolling on the big bed by the window. "Mom, why are you so slow? I'm almost asleep."
"Mom was delayed by something." Yang Qiujin pretended to be indifferent and glanced at the room. Chen Shengqing was not in the room.
Hey, where did that person go?
When Yang Qiujin turned around, Chen Shengqing appeared in front of her like a ghost, covered in water vapor.
"Ah——!" Yang Qiujin was startled by the suddenness and fell backwards.
"Be careful." Chen Shengqing stretched out his hand, grabbed her arm and led her towards him.
He pulled Yang Qiujin with great force. Yang Qiujin was pulled into his arms and hit his hard chest, which hurt her own chest.
"Why are you like a ghost, going in and out without making any sound?" Yang Qiujin was half angry and half blushing, so she reached out to push the man away.
What's wrong with this guy? He didn't even put on any clothes after taking a shower. He was half-naked. She could see his solid chest muscles, smooth inverted triangle lines, and several bullet scars on his body.
Chen Shengqing let her push him away and stared at her with his dark eyes. Seven years had passed, and her appearance hadn't changed much, but her breasts were much fuller than they were seven years ago.
When she bumped into him just now, the soft touch of her chest made his heart flutter, and his mind couldn't help but think of her extremely gentle appearance under him on their wedding night seven years ago.
Soon, the ripples in his heart disappeared completely. Seven years ago, she took the initiative to consummate their marriage with him, and she had been resisting sleeping with him since then. He knew that she could not forget Ji Mingchen in her heart, and she consummated their marriage with him only because her parents forced her, so she decided to join the army.
He thought about joining the army to serve his country, and after a few years, when both parents had calmed down, he would divorce her and set her free. But he didn't expect that she would get pregnant so soon.
Later, many things happened in both families and the army, preventing him from returning. Seven years have passed. Now he is really not sure whether Yang Qiujin is still staying at home because of their parents or because of the children.
Thinking of this, he became extremely calm and said seriously: "Sorry, I am used to being rough in the army. Next time I will speak up in advance."
There will be a next time?
Yang Qiujin rolled her eyes at him, walked to the bed, reached out and patted Tianyou's little butt, "Go to your own bed."
"No, no." Chen Tianyou rubbed his chubby face against the back of Yang Qiujin's hand, saying coquettishly, "I want to sleep with mommy and daddy."
"No." Yang Qiujin pulled her hand back, "You are already a big boy, how can you keep sleeping with adults? Shame on you."
"But I have never slept with my dad." Chen Tianyou looked pitifully at Chen Shengqing who was lying beside the bed.
Chen Shengqing's heart softened when his son called him "Dad" and he looked at Yang Qiujin hesitantly: "How about..."
Yang Qiujin glared at Chen Shengqing, "Who told me this morning that boys should sleep alone? Where is your principle?"
"It's because the child has never slept with me." Chen Shengqing coughed awkwardly.
The father-son relationship that was vacant for seven years was not something that could be restored overnight. It had to be filled slowly, cultivated slowly, and compensated slowly.
Yang Qiujin: "... whatever you want."
"Great!" Chen Tianyou shouted happily and rolled to the corner of the bed like a ball.
Being able to sleep in the same bed with his parents, even though he is still a stranger to his father, Chen Tianyou still feels that he is the happiest child at this moment.
Since there is a child around, Chen Shengqing will take care of the child and will definitely not touch her.
With this thought in mind, Yang Qiujin calmly took out a new quilt from the elm wood cabinet and placed it beside the bed. "I made this quilt two years ago, and I have never used it before. You can use it."
She didn't even look at Chen Shengqing's expression. She took off her coat and lay in the middle. Chen Tianyou leaned into her arms and called out in a baby voice, "Mom."
"Well, go to sleep." Yang Qiujin's heart melted when he called her. She stretched out one hand to embrace his little body as before. He laid his whole body on her, and the mother and son fell asleep quickly.
Chen Shengqing looked at the sleeping faces of the mother and son in a daze, but deep in his heart he felt an indescribable warmth and happiness. He reached out and touched their faces, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Regardless of whether Yang Qiujin still likes Ji Mingchen in her heart, she is now his wife and the mother of his children. As long as she is by his side, sooner or later, he will make her willingly live with him for the rest of her life.
After spreading out the new bedding, he got onto the bed quietly and lay down beside Yang Qiujin. He smelled the faint scent of orchid and soap coming from her body and heard the steady breathing coming from Tianyou's nose. Chen Shengqing closed his eyes in relaxation and soon fell asleep.
Compared to the Chen family who slept soundly, Shi Fangfang from the Ji family had trouble falling asleep.
Shi Fangfang had received the news that Ji Mingchen was coming back earlier. She was so happy that she couldn't sleep well for several days. She was so happy that she washed here and there at home, and cleaned her room thoroughly, waiting for her husband to come home.
As a result, the first thing the husband did when he came back was to go to Chen's house, see Yang Qiujin, and bring them some things before going back home.
Shi Fangfang had dressed herself up beautifully and was standing at the entrance of the village looking forward to something. However, some gossipers came up to her and made fun of her, saying that after so many years, Ji Mingchen still couldn't forget Yang Qiujin. He had not been back for several years, but the first thing he did when he came back was to go see his sweetheart. Shi Fangfang was so angry that she bit her teeth, but she had to pretend to be calm and welcomed her husband home with a smile.
However, when Ji Mingchen returned home, he didn't even look at her. Instead, he chatted with Ji's father and mother, their two children, and relatives and friends all day long. After taking a shower at night, he went straight back to his room and fell asleep on the bed with his two children.
Shi Fangfang looked at Ji Mingchen's sleeping face. After not seeing him for four years, he was still so handsome and elegant. He was smiling and gentle to everyone except her, but he turned a blind eye and a deaf ear to her, as if she was an invisible person.
Shi Fangfang burst into tears and cried for most of the night. Finally, Ji Mingchen couldn't help it and asked her impatiently: "How long are you going to cry?"
"Why don't you ask me why I'm crying instead of blaming me here." It would have been better if he didn't ask, but when he did, Shi Fangfang became furious.
"Okay, then why are you crying?" Ji Mingchen turned over and sat up and asked.
He was not wearing glasses, and his eyes were dull and he looked particularly tired.
Shi Fangfang was even more furious when she saw him like this. "We haven't seen each other for four years. You finally came home, but you went to Chen's house to see Yang Qiujin first. How can you put my and my children's reputation in such a bad light!"
She also got married to Ji Mingchen seven years ago, on the same day as Yang Qiujin's. Her wedding banquet was even more grand than Yang Qiujin's, just to put her above Yang Qiujin.
But less than a month after Ji Mingchen married her, he also signed up for the army like Chen Shengqing, and later became a military doctor and went to the Capital Military Region Hospital for further studies. At that time, she had already given birth to twins, a dragon and a phoenix.
Originally, she planned to take the children to the capital to find him, and they would live happily together as a family. However, he said that he did not have a military post and it would be inconvenient for him to leave the military area. He also did not want her to rent a house with the children and wait for him to come home, so he wanted her to help him take care of his parents-in-law in his hometown. Her hope of joining the army was dashed.
In all these years, he only came back once, and she went to see him at other times, but the number of times she could see him was very few.
Now he finally came back, but what he did made her extremely disappointed and heartbroken. She completely forgot that she should be a gentle and virtuous woman and questioned him aggressively.
"You think too much." Ji Mingchen patiently explained: "Chen Shengqing took my ride back, so of course I had to send him back to the Chen family first. I didn't go to see Yang Qiujin on purpose. As for the gift, I'm going to the Chen family now, I can't go empty-handed. After all, Chen Shengqing and I are in the same place now, so we have to maintain a good relationship."
"Really?" Shi Fangfang was skeptical. "Then why did you ignore me?"
"How could I ignore you?" Ji Mingchen said with a wronged look on his face: "I have traveled all the way and I am so tired that I just want to sleep. So many relatives and friends came to my house and I am already very tired just to deal with them. You still want me to do this and that. I am also a human being and I need to rest too."
"But..." This is not what she expected.
The scene she had imagined of a loving couple after a long separation, did not happen at all. She could feel that he was much colder towards her than he was four years ago.
Could it be that he had an affair outside?
Shi Fangfang became suspicious and wanted to ask something, but she heard breathing sounds beside the bed. Ji Mingchen actually fell asleep.
Shi Fangfang was so angry that she gritted her teeth, but she didn't dare wake him up for fear that he would get angry. After thinking for a long time, she could only sit on the edge of the bed and sulk.
