Chapter 101
For three consecutive days, Yang Qiujin seized the opportunity to practice dancing.
After dancing that night, she felt so sore in the waist and back that she lay on the bed and said weakly, "I haven't taken a shower yet."
Winters in the border areas are very cold. Many people do not smell good even if they do not take a bath for ten days or half a month. Yang Qiujin likes to be clean and takes a bath at least once every three days in winter. There will be a social gathering at the farm tomorrow. Yang Qiujin insisted on taking a fragrant bath to welcome the leaders of the Corps.
"It's okay, I'll carry you to wash."
The bath water had already been heated. Chen Shengqing mixed the water and placed a brazier in the bathroom so that Yang Qiujin would not feel so cold when taking a bath. Then he returned to the room, picked up Yang Qiujin and walked to the bathroom.
In the days after Yang Qiujin gave birth to her baby Tianxing, it was summer and her lower body was in pain, so it was inconvenient for her to bathe by herself, and Chen Shengqing helped her bathe.
At first Yang Qiujin was not used to it. Even though they had been married for more than ten years and had done all kinds of intimate things, they were still very seldom honest with each other and rubbed each other's backs, so she felt a little embarrassed.
Later, seeing Chen Shengqing taking care of every detail and washing seriously without any other actions or thoughts, she gradually got used to it and no longer felt shy.
In the toilet of more than ten square meters, the brazier was burning brightly. There were two ventilation holes in the toilet, which made it warm inside without feeling suffocated or fainting from poisoning.
Chen Shengqing scrubbed Yang Qiujin's back as usual, first rubbing the back and then the front.
The two of them spoke frankly face to face. Somehow, Yang Qiujin always felt that the man was different today. The way he looked at her was too passionate.
When the man touched her chest, the rough thumb scratched her delicate skin, and she couldn't help but get goosebumps all over her body. She laughed and scolded him: "What are you doing?"
Chen Shengqing looked at her with fiery eyes, "Qiu Jin, I have to go on patrol tomorrow, and I may not be back for more than a month."
"It's almost Chinese New Year, why do we still have to patrol the border?"
"Because it's the Chinese New Year, other countries know that our entire nation is celebrating, and they are eyeing us covetously. The border defenses will be more strict and alert than at other times. This year I will be on patrol, and next year another officer will be on patrol." Chen Shengqing said as he held her in his arms.
Yang Qiujin fell into the man's arms and felt his hot body temperature. She looked at the man with a slightly blushing face, and her beautiful eyes contained a hint of surprise that she wanted to say but couldn't.
Chen Shengqing caught her gaze, and the couple tacitly took a quick shower, put on their clothes, and lay back on the kang bed.
The weather was too cold, and they were not allowed to do anything in the bathroom, so they took advantage of the child's sleep to have a good time.
It had been a long time since they had done that, and the couple were both very excited, especially Chen Shengqing, who was afraid that Yang Qiujin couldn't bear it at first, so he slowed down his movements and asked her, "Does it hurt?"
His slowness was a torture to Yang Qiujin. She put her hands on his back and said, "It's not my first time, why would it hurt?"
After she said this, Chen Shengqing was no longer polite, and the room was filled with Yang Qiujin's uncontrollable voice.
After finishing one round, the two took a short break and started the second round.
This time, when they were halfway through, the little Tianxing who was originally sleeping on the kang bed suddenly turned over, made a sound and smacked his lips. The couple was so scared that they stopped what they were doing, for fear that the child would wake up and see something he shouldn't see.
There was no light in the room, so the couple worked in the dark. Little Tianxing was just over six months old, so it didn't matter to her if she saw it.
Yang Qiujin still didn't want her children to see it, because she would always feel weird if her children saw it.
Fortunately, Xiao Tianxing just turned over in his dream and did not move or wake up. While Yang Qiujin breathed a sigh of relief, she found that the man became more energetic.
In order not to wake the child, Yang Qiujin had to hold back the screams in her throat. After the act was over, she pushed Chen Shengqing and complained, "Didn't we agree to do it twice and then end? Why did you insist on doing it one more time? Aren't you afraid of waking the child or our mother and Tianyou hearing it?"
"It's my fault. I'll be more careful next time. Let's find a quiet place to do it." Chen Shengqing kissed her cheek and brought a basin of hot water to clean her body.
Yang Qiujin raised her eyebrows: "You still want to avoid the children to do things? Where can you go?"
Chen Shengqing pointed at the dark window and said, "Let's go back to the army and let Mom and Tianyou live in the town with little Tianxing."
Li Xiu'e did not have visitation rights and could not stay overnight in the military unit, so she had to live in a house in the town.
Yang Qiujin was worried about her living alone in the town, so she usually asked Chen Tianyou to live with Li Xiu'e so that she could be taken care of.
If Chen Shengqing had no tasks at night, she would take her children and live with Chen Shengqing in the large courtyard in the town.
Of course, when Chen Shengqing is not around, she has to live with her mother-in-law with her children so as not to neglect her.
Yang Qiujin chuckled: "You're dreaming. Little Tianxing hasn't been weaned yet and can't leave me. She needs to be fed every few hours. If I leave you for a whole night, she will wake up and not see me, and she will cry her eyes out."
The older Xiao Tianxing gets, the more often he drinks milk, from once every two or three hours at the beginning to once every three to five hours now. This child is very attached to Yang Qiujin, and he really can't leave her.
After cleaning her up, Chen Shengqing covered her with a warm blanket and whispered, "There's no chance now. We'll have plenty of opportunities after Xiao Tianxing is weaned. There's no rush."
"Who's anxious?" Yang Qiujin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She put on her clothes and pants in the dark, turned around and hugged Xiao Tianxing's fussing little body to sleep.
Chen Shengqing finally got the relief he hadn’t felt for a long time. He felt refreshed all over. After pouring the water, he returned to the room and fell into a deep sleep while hugging his wife and daughter.
During this time, Yang Qiujin got up to feed little Tianxing once, but he rarely heard it.
The next morning, before daybreak, little Tianxing started to make a fuss and refused to sleep. Chen Shengqing woke up quickly, changed the child's diaper carefully, held the child, washed him, and coaxed him for a while. It was not until little Tianxing became very hungry and kept looking for milk that Chen Shengqing gave the child to Yang Qiujin to feed him.
Yang Qiujin finished feeding the baby in a daze, and fell asleep again. When she woke up again, the child was held by Chen Tianyou and they were playing a game of airplanes bombing tanks in the living room. Chen Shengqing had already gone to patrol the border.
In order to entertain the leaders from the Corps, before attending the friendly party in the evening, Yang Qiujin specially put on a honeycomb collar sweater knitted by Li Xiu'e at home, a slim dark blue coat, wool snow boots on her feet, and Friendship brand snow cream on her face to prevent wind and chapped skin. She wrapped a thick towel around her neck and put a pair of woolen fleece on her head. She was dressed exquisitely and beautifully, but not tacky, and had some of the competence of a female cadre. She took her two children, Li Xiu'e, and Wang Songyue from next door, and walked to the jeep parked outside the yard.
Chen Shengqing specifically instructed his orderly Xiao Li to keep the jeep in the army for the purpose of making it convenient for Yang Qiujin and her female relatives to travel.
After Yang Qiujin got on the jeep, she politely said to the orderly at the driver's seat: "Xiao Li, thank you for your trip."
Xiao Li is a soldier in his early twenties. As he started the car, he replied, "Sister-in-law, everything I do is within my job scope. It's not hard."
Yang Qiujin smiled and said nothing more.
An orderly is a soldier assigned to officers above the rank of deputy regiment commander. He is specifically responsible for handling various internal affairs and miscellaneous matters of officers above the rank of deputy regiment commander. Of course, he will also help with some household chores, which is normal.
If Yang Qiujin was too polite, it would make the orderly feel at a loss, so it would be better to just let things go.
The car drove out of Tianli Town and headed towards the farm headquarters. The sky was getting dark, but it was only around seven o'clock in the evening.
Chen Tianyou held little Tianxing in his arms and let her little feet stand on his legs, so that she could practice her lower limb standing ability early.
It was the first time for little Tianxing to go somewhere far away to play. She watched the snow-covered scene flash by outside the car window. She kicked her legs excitedly and kept talking.
Chen Tianyou almost couldn't hold her, so he had to hold her in his arms and said, "Sister, you are so strong."
Yang Qiujin sat next to him and laughed at him, "When you were little, you were just like her. When you were about six months old, you became restless. Your little arms and legs looked small, but you kicked me out of the blue and it hurt me so much."
Li Xiu'e echoed, "Babies are quite strong. When Tianyou's father was about the same age as Tianxing, he kicked me in the chest, leaving a bruise on my chest. It hurt for a long time."
"So amazing." Chen Tianyou looked at the cute little girl, who was wearing a pure white rabbit fur hat and an army green cotton jacket. He felt that it was wrong to hug her, but it was also wrong not to hug her.
"Our little Tianxing is very smart. She likes you as her brother and won't abandon you. You can rest assured and hold her." Yang Qiujin reassured him and told him: "When we get to the venue, you and Wang Songyue should not run around. Just eat in the hall. Do you understand?"
A few days ago, Chen Tianyou knew that Yang Qiujin was going to attend a social gathering, so he persuaded Yang Qiujin to take him and Wang Songyue to the farm to see the world.
Yang Qiujin thought that when the farm held a social gathering, they would prepare some snacks, and it would be nice to take the two children out to see the world, so she agreed.
Before Chen Tianyou spoke, Wang Songyue nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, Aunt Yang, I will definitely keep an eye on Tianyou and won't let him run around or cause trouble."
"I'm not a three-year-old child. I don't know what to do and what not to do. Why are you watching me?" Chen Tianyou was very impatient.
"Don't you know why I'm looking at you?" Wang Songyue asked in a low voice.
Yang Qiujin asked: "Chen Tianyou, what are you hiding from me?"
Chen Tianyou raised his hands in surrender: "Mom, I didn't, don't listen to Wang Songyue's nonsense."
"It's better not to." Yang Qiujin snorted, "If you dare to do something bad, you know the consequences."
"Mom, don't worry, I know very well in my heart that I will never do anything bad." Chen Tianyou assured.
But if others want to do bad things, he will inevitably stop them.
Today's get-together was held in the meeting hall of the farm's Youth League Committee. As soon as they arrived at the Youth League Committee and stepped out of the car, they heard a loud red song playing in the get-together hall.
Although it was snowing outside, many young men and women dressed up and walked into the social hall in the wind and snow.
Yang Qiujin led the children forward, repeatedly telling them not to run around or cause trouble, letting them play for a while, and then followed Li Xiu'e to Yang Qiuyue's home to play.
"I know, Mom. You've said it three times. If you say it again, my ears will get sore." Chen Tianyou pretended to cover his ears and ran away with Wang Songyue.
Yang Qiujin could only bring her mother-in-law and Xiao Tianxing into the social hall and ask the person in charge of the social hall to take Li Xiu'e and her grandchildren to a quiet room to sit and play. She tidied her clothes and walked into the social hall.
After entering the hall, there were already nearly fifty pairs of young men and women dancing classic ballroom dances to the music playing in the center of the hall.
In order to set the tone, the person in charge of the social association installed the dimmest lights above the hall. Under the dim lights, even an ugly person would look prettier.
The dim lights made it difficult to see each other's exact appearance, but it also gave the extremely shy unmarried men and women courage to invite their loved ones to dance.
After Yang Qiujin entered the stage, she first observed how others danced. She looked at the couples of men and women, the men hugging the women's waists, and the women's hands on the men's shoulders. Just from the movements, it seemed very intimate, and she couldn't help frowning.
She was a woman from the country. Although she had attended junior high school and was more knowledgeable than the average country woman, she still could not do something as intimate as ballroom dancing with strangers.
Before, when she learned dancing with Chen Shengqing, her mind was only filled with thoughts about learning how to dance so that she could properly entertain the officers from the Corps. She never thought about how awkward it would be to dance such an intimate dance with a strange man.
At the same time, she also realized a problem, that is, Chen Shengqing could dance ballroom dancing. Whether it was due to the mission or some other reason, he was so good at dancing that she didn't know how many strange and beautiful young women he had embraced and had such close contact with other women.
He felt sad for a moment, but he suppressed his complicated emotions and looked everywhere for Secretary Zhai and others.
While she was looking for someone, others were also looking at her.
There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers stationed in border areas to guard and reclaim wasteland, but the number of young women coming to support the border areas is no more than 50,000. The gender ratio is seriously unbalanced, resulting in a large number of bachelors.
As soon as a young lesbian appears, the unmarried gay men waiting on the side become eager to make a move.
Of course, these people were all militiamen from the Corps, and they all asked the people on the farm, "Who is the short-haired woman in the coat at the door? She's so pretty."
The lights were dim, and many people on the farm did not recognize Yang Qiujin. "Is she from our farm? She has such a good figure, how come I have never seen her before?"
"She must be from our farm. If there were any pretty female comrades from other places attending the social gathering, my uncle who is in charge of finance would have informed me long ago. This must be some educated youth who doesn't usually like to dress up. She dressed up a little. Oh, she's really pretty."
"Huh? No, that lesbian looks familiar to me."
"Of course she looks familiar. She is Director Yang of the farm, a proper military wife and a mother of two children. How can you not even tell who she is?" A voice suddenly rang out.
The militiamen who were eager to try stopped and turned to look at the person who was speaking. It turned out to be the director of Tianshan Farm, Lu Xingxian.
Behind him followed Zhai Hongbo and other farm cadres, both big and small, as well as several cadres from the Corps. All the good guys looked at them in unison.
Several young guys felt uncomfortable being watched and found excuses to slip away.
It was not their fault that they were short-sighted. It was because Yang Qiujin had delicate features, a small and petite face, and her clothes fit her perfectly. She was not like the other female comrades who wore bulky and thick cotton clothes. Under the light, she overshadowed the other female comrades and made people unable to take their eyes off her.
After the young men left, Lu Xingxian took the lead and walked up to Yang Qiujin. "Director Yang, you are finally here. Can you please do me a favor and dance with me?"
Before Yang Qiujin could reply, Secretary Zhai came over and said, "Director Lu, our Secretary Ah is still here. It is not your turn to invite Ah Guli, one of the best dancers in our farm, to dance."
As he spoke, he introduced a leader who was about fifty years old and wore round-frame glasses and cadre uniform. He said to Yang Qiujin, "Director Yang, this is our Corps Secretary, Ahali Sadik. He came to inspect our farm today and also came to communicate with our cadre comrades."
He introduced her to the man again: "Secretary, this is the director of the farm I mentioned to you, Comrade Yang Qiujin."
"Director Yang, I have heard a lot about your deeds." Secretary Ah took the lead in extending his hand to shake Yang Qiujin's hand. "You were not afraid of evil forces and bravely fought against them. You rescued several female educated youths and boldly gave suggestions to the farm cadres. You mobilized available talents, which made the output of Tianshan Farm soar and became one of the model farms in the frontier. You also opened a breeding farm and brought a lot of benefits to Tianshan Farm. You are such a brave and resourceful female comrade. It is rare and precious."
"Thank you, Secretary A. The current output of our farm, the work I have done before, and the current efficiency of the farm are all due to the cooperation of Secretary Zhai and other cadres on the farm. It is also inseparable from the support of all the leaders of the Corps. I can do my job well." Yang Qiujin shook his hand back politely.
"Look, this female comrade is better at talking than the male comrade. I am happy to hear this." Secretary Ah laughed and extended his hand to Yang Qiujin in a gentlemanly manner: "Director Yang, can you dance with me?"
Secretary Zhai next to her gave Yang Qiujin a look, indicating that she should mention the matter of the textile factory to Secretary A.
Yang Qiujin caught his gaze and put her hand in Secretary Ah's hand: "Of course, Secretary Ah, if you don't mind me stepping on your feet, you can dance as many times as you want."
"You seldom dance?" Secretary Ah held her slender waist, pulled her into the center of the hall, and danced to the music.
"Yes, I won't hide it from Secretary Ah, I have never danced with other male comrades before. This time, I heard that you, Secretary Ah, were coming to inspect our farm, so I specially came to practice with my husband for three days." Yang Qiujin said, stepping on Secretary Ah's foot, and immediately messed up her steps. "I'm sorry, Secretary Ah, you see, I'm really not very good at it."
"It's okay, just follow my rhythm, we'll take it slow." With the beauty in his arms, her body exuded a faint scent of snow cream. Although the two of them were not close to each other, when Yang Qiujin danced the three-step quick step, her swollen chest would always brush against Secretary A's chest, which made Secretary A distracted and very enjoyable. He didn't care about such a small matter as stepping on her foot.
Yang Qiujin also saw it, and thought that men were really blinded by lust. They knew that she was a soldier's wife and there was no possibility for them to have any relationship with her, but men of all ages would always enjoy taking advantage of her.
To be honest, Yang Qiujin was not disgusted. She knew very well that this was the nature of men. Even if the other party had some ideas, as long as she herself remained unmoved, nothing would happen.
She cooperated with Secretary A's dance very well. Her body did not feel awkward at all. She kept chatting with Secretary A about daily conversation. Her dancing movements became more and more skillful. She gradually gained confidence and did not step on Secretary A's feet again.
After the song ended, Secretary Ah invited her to dance again, and she did not refuse.
When Secretary Ah led her to a secluded corner, she slowly said what Secretary Zhai had told her: "Secretary Ah, you know that our Tianshan Farm has achieved good results in production and sales in recent years. In particular, the cotton varieties we grow are white and abundant, and their growth cycle is shorter than that of cotton varieties grown in other farms. We want to open a textile factory ourselves, but we are still short of funds. I wonder if the Corps can allocate some funds to us."
Secretary Ah shook his head as the high-pitched music sounded, and at the same time, he took a big step forward and said in a light voice: "Comrade Xiao Yang, you Tianshan Farm have a lot of ideas. As a subsidiary farm of the Corps, you tried to use the lower-class professors as experimental fields before, and opened your own subsidiary farm. I was under pressure to suppress you. Although the situation in our border area is not as severe as in the past few years, if there is another revolutionary group in the capital, I can't bear it. Besides, the largest textile factory in our border area is in Wulu, and their income and reputation are obvious to all. Why do you Tianshan Farm have to struggle? Isn't it better to grow crops honestly?"
Yang Qiujin shook her head along with him, took a step back and said, "Secretary, I don't agree with your concept. As the saying goes, the more courageous a person is, the more productive the land will be. It is true that our Tianshan Farm is a subsidiary farm of the Corps, but if Secretary Zhai and his team had not adopted my advice and tried out a professor of agronomy, how could our farm develop new seeds, double its production, become one of the model farms, and lead the Ava Corps to become one of the top three corps with high production. What does it matter if the textile mill in Uru is famous? The border area is so large that it produces hundreds of thousands of tons of cotton. We can't transport all of it to Uru for production. It's time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the transportation cost is also very high. If we open a textile mill ourselves, no matter how big it is, we can buy some machinery, produce and sell our own products, add jobs for some employees and their families, and attract more mainlanders to settle down in our border areas. It will be more profitable than exporting cotton."
The song ended. Secretary Ah stopped dancing, withdrew his hand, and walked eastward with Yang Qiujin to the resting area.
When he walked in front of Secretary Zhai and others, he looked at Yang Qiujin and smiled: "I have to say, Comrade Yang, what you just said makes a lot of sense."
Yang Qiujin's eyes lit up, "You mean..."
Secretary Ah waved his hand at her and said, "Go dance with other comrades. I'm tired and need to rest for a while."
Well, Lu Xingxian was the first to rush up to Yang Qiujin and said, "Director Yang, would you please dance with me?"
Having been invited twice, Yang Qiujin could not refuse, so she took Lu Xingxian's hand and continued dancing in the center of the hall.
