Chapter 34
It was mid-May, the sky was just getting light, the morning light shone through the glass windows, and a warm breeze blew in through the window gaps, bringing a refreshing breath.
A melodious wake-up call sounded in the family compound. Yang Qiujin heard the sound, slowly opened her eyes, and found herself clinging to Chen Shengqing like an octopus.
Her hands, one hand on his smooth waist, one hand on his solid right chest, legs bent and placed on that indescribable part, could feel that it had already risen...
Yang Qiujin was startled, blushing as she pried open Chen Shengqing's slender arms that were holding her waist. She rolled over to the other side and got up to get dressed, but she found that two buttons on her clothes were not buttoned. She quickly buttoned them up and reached out to push Chen Shengqing who had already woken up, "What did you do to me last night while I was asleep?"
"What do you think I can do to you?" The man sat up slowly. After a night of growth, his fair chin had grown a green stubble, which did not make him look old and emaciated, but made him even more attractive in the morning mist.
Yang Qiujin felt her body and found no discomfort. Thinking of the man's reaction when she got up, her face became hot. "I misunderstood you. Sorry."
"You don't have to be so nervous." Chen Shengqing stood up from the kang, facing Yang Qiujin, as if he didn't mind her seeing his private parts at all. "I said, if you don't want to, I won't force you."
Yang Qiujin: ...
The robbery was aimed at her, didn't he feel guilty saying this?
Yang Qiujin had been with the army for more than a month, and the two of them had been sleeping on the same pillow for more than a month. Chen Shengqing had always kept to himself, each of them had their own quilt, and slept separately. But she had a bad sleeping posture, and always crossed the line and slept on top of him.
She was very embarrassed at first, but Chen Shengqing remained calm and never said anything to her.
Later, she slept next to him more often. In her half-asleep and half-awake state, she was like a radar, automatically seeking to fall asleep close to him. Like today, she woke up and saw scenes she shouldn't have seen several times. Chen Shengqing was no longer surprised, but Yang Qiujin was still not used to it.
After sleeping together for a long time, Yang Qiujin no longer objected to having sex with Chen Shengqing. After all, the man was handsome and had a good figure. Most importantly, he was her serious husband. It would be bad for a man's health to not have sex and let him hold it in.
But although the man had reacted, he still remembered his bullshit promise that he would not touch her if she didn't agree, and he didn't cross the line and touch her.
She's a woman, it's not a good idea to let her take the initiative.
Thinking of this, Yang Qiujin put away her shyness, glanced at Chen Shengqing, got out of bed and went out to wash up.
He likes to keep his promises, so let him do it. She wants to see how long he can hold it in!
For breakfast, he had corn stubble porridge, served with Yang Qiujin's refreshing cucumber salad and sour and spicy pickled radishes. With these two side dishes, Chen Tianyou ate a full bowl of rice.
"Mom, hurry up." After dinner, Chen Tianyou consciously went back to his room to pack his schoolbag, and hurriedly pulled Yang Qiujin to the school.
"Child, when you were studying in your hometown, you were always procrastinating and reluctant to go to school for a long time. Why are you so proactive today?" Yang Qiujin asked curiously.
"When I was in my hometown, people always laughed at me for not having a father and bullied me for no reason. I didn't want to go." Chen Tianyou carried a small schoolbag and held Yang Qiujin's hand, walking through the white poplar trees, his little face filled with a happy smile. "It's different here. My father is the battalion commander. I heard from Dadan that my father is a great hero. He said that he had made great contributions in the past, brought back very important military intelligence from the Soviet Union, and captured and shot many spies. They all admired my father and were willing to play with me. Of course, I like going to school."
Yang Qiujin had never heard Chen Tianyou talk about these things before. She thought he was just a naughty boy who loved to fight with others. Every time she asked him why he fought, he never told her the reason.
It turned out that because his father was not around and no one gave him enough sense of security and support, he would rather bear everything on his own than tell her.
Yang Qiujin felt sad. She stopped and half-knelt in front of Chen Tianyou. She said seriously, "Tianyou, listen to your mother. No matter what happens, you must remember to tell your father and mother. No matter whether it is a good thing or a bad thing, you must tell them. Don't be afraid of being told by your mother, and don't be afraid of being scolded by your mother. If you are bullied by others, such as someone pushing you or hitting you, or breaking your hands and feet, You were afraid of being scolded by your mother so you didn’t dare to tell her. You endured the pain and didn’t tell her. Your broken limbs became swollen and inflamed. You couldn’t bear it and told her. If you were sent to the hospital, your limbs would be severely damaged and there would be no way to save them. They would have to be amputated and you would become disabled! Do you want to be like the old man with a broken leg at the village head, using a cane for the rest of your life and never being able to run? "
Chen Tianyou recalled the image of the old man, dirty and walking slowly on the village road with a cane, being pelted with stones and scolded by a group of bad kids. He shuddered and shook his head, saying, "I don't want to. Mom, I've remembered everything you said. If I'm bullied in the future, I'll definitely tell you and Dad."
"That's right." Yang Qiujin stood up and touched his head with a smile.
In fact, with Chen Tianyou's lively and active personality, it is very unlikely that he would be bullied, because from childhood to adulthood, he was basically the one who took the initiative to provoke conflicts and fights with other children.
However, after arriving at the army, Yang Qiujin saw that the other children were all influenced by their fathers. They were all competitive and wanted to rule the world with their fists. She was really worried that the silly Tianyou would be bullied by other boys.
After seeing Chen Tianyou off, Yang Qiujin returned to her own small yard, took a small basket, went to the vegetable patch on the right side of the yard to find a field of sweet potato vines, cut most of them with a knife, tied them up and put them in the small basket, then went to the house and grabbed a bunch of various vegetable seeds she brought from her hometown, stuffed them under the basket, turned around, put on the military green cross-body bag she had been carrying for many years, locked the yard, and went out.
Chen Shengqing walked with her to the small stable outside the army. Seeing her struggling to carry a basket of sweet potato vines, he offered to help her carry it. "Are you cutting so many sweet potato vines to feed the horses?"
"No, I have other uses for them." Yang Qiujin said this. After seeing Benying see the sweet potato vines in Chen Shengqing's basket and his horse head kept digging into the basket, she still took a sweet potato vine and gave it to Benying to eat.
While Benying was eating vines, she climbed onto the horse's back smoothly, tied the basket to the side of the saddle, and said to Chen Shengqing: "I'm leaving now. Remember to invite your comrades and colleagues to come to our house for dinner in the evening."
"Okay." Chen Shengqing reminded, "Be careful on the road, and don't let the horse run too fast, or your legs and buttocks won't be able to bear it."
"Got it!" Yang Qiujin waved her hand with her back to him and rode away.
After leaving the troops, a morning sun rose in the sky. The red sunlight spread all over the earth, and the crops on the roadside were covered with a layer of warm light. Today was another sunny day.
Yang Qiujin wrapped her head and face with a gauze scarf, leaving only her eyes exposed, and rode her horse slowly on the dirt road.
Originally, she wanted to take Zhao Erfeng to the farm, but Zhao Erfeng's youngest son caught a cold last night and had to go to the hospital for an IV drip. Zhao Erfeng could not go to the farm, so she went to the farm to work alone today.
Ben Ying carried Yang Qiujin through fields of wheat. The wheat, already half a knee deep, was lush green, rising and falling like waves in the morning breeze. In the canals between the wheat fields, snow water was gurgling continuously, and one could hear many frogs and insects chirping in the grass growing under the canals.
There was a faint scent of grass in the air. Yang Qiujin sniffed it and felt that Benying was moving too slowly. At this speed, the day lilies on the farm would be cold by the time she got there. So she gritted her teeth, raised the small whip that Chen Shengqing had given her, and gently slapped Benying's butt.
"Whoosh!" Benying was frightened and ran quickly.
"Ah, Benying, slow down!" Yang Qiujin didn't expect it to rush out suddenly. She leaned back and was almost thrown out.
She hurriedly grabbed the reins, remembering the riding tips Chen Shengqing had told her, and leaned forward with her whole body, wrapping her legs around the horse's belly, trying to relax and become one with the running shadow.
Perhaps her calmness infected Benying. After running for a while, Benying did not run around or jump up and down, nor did he shake his head in an attempt to throw her off the horse. He just ran forward along the route designated by Yang Qiujin.
The wind was blowing in my ears, the scenery was receding, the plain long gown that Yang Qiujin was wearing was blown up by the wind, and her whole body was bouncing up and down on the horse's back, as if she was flying in the wind.
Feeling that Ben Ying had calmed down, Yang Qiujin was no longer nervous and afraid. She tried to sit up straight, stretched out one hand, and felt the wind of freedom on the frontier.
The wind blew through her fingertips, and the wheat waves rose and fell with it. In the distance was the endless Gobi Beach and the majestic and towering Tianshan Mountains. Under the refraction of the rising sun, it was as beautiful as an oil painting.
It turns out that the frontier with harsh conditions is so beautiful.
Yang Qiujin took a deep breath, her eyes became extremely firm, and she silently said to herself, if you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, you follow the dog. The man she married guards the border and loves the border. She will be like him, deeply love this land, and fight to build this land. If any monsters dare to stop her, she will kill them if she meets a god, and kill the Buddha if she meets a Buddha.
At the warehouse management office of the Second Company of Tianshan Farm, a group of about ten men and women wearing Lenin suits and Zhongshan suits, who appeared to be farm cadres, were standing on the dam in front of the warehouse, waiting for Yang Qiujin's arrival.
A middle-aged man in his forties with a bald head said dissatisfiedly: "What time is it now, Captain Han? Why hasn't the person you recommended come yet? Can such a passive and lazy female comrade really serve as the statistician of your company?"
"Deputy Director Feng, don't worry. It's not even eight o'clock yet, and it's not time to go to work yet." Han Yongxin, wearing a half-worn Liberation suit, stood upright beside the leaders and said calmly, "Comrade Yang Qiujin lives in the border defense unit, which is a bit far from our farm. As a brother regiment, we should give these hardworking military wives some understanding."
Han Yongxin deliberately emphasized that Yang Qiujin was a military wife. No matter how many people present were dissatisfied with Yang Qiujin, under the country's preferential policies, they had to endure their dissatisfaction.
Feng Sheng glanced at Han Yongxin and said, "Since she is a military wife, why doesn't she work in the border defense department? Instead, why does she come all the way to work on our farm?"
There are only a few easy jobs on the farm, and they are basically occupied by these old soldiers. Han Yongxin suddenly wants his brother-in-law to replace a military wife to fill the position. This is a clear sign of war and opposition with him.
Han Yongxin was too lazy to explain to him: "You should ask Comrade Yang about this question yourself."
Just as Feng Sheng was about to explode, he suddenly heard Lao Zhao shout, "Here they come."
Everyone raised their heads together and looked towards the company's main road in the distance, where a man and a horse appeared.
Amidst the green fields, a graceful woman wearing a plain spring long gown with a slanting collar and her face and head tightly wrapped in a red gauze was riding a tall black and gray horse towards them.
The horse was running very fast. The woman was sitting on the horse's back, her clothes fluttering in the wind. She was so thin that she was swaying on the horse's back, as if she would fall off at any time. However, she was not panicked at all and her eyes were calm and composed.
She looked as heroic as an ancient heroine. If people didn't know that she was from the inland and had hardly ever ridden a horse, everyone present would have thought that she was a heroic and powerful girl from a minority ethnic group who grew up on the frontier grasslands.
Yang Qiujin saw from a distance a row of people standing in front of the warehouse. She knew that what Chen Shengqing said yesterday had worked, and Secretary Zhai was leading a group of people to support her. She felt a little relieved.
She stopped the horse ten meters away from them, jumped off the horse's back, tied Benying to a wooden pillar beside the warehouse, and took off the gauze scarf on her head, revealing a delicate and beautiful face.
She walked over with a smile and greeted everyone: "Secretary Zhai, Captain Han, Secretary Zhang, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."
"It's not too late, not too late, the time is just right." Secretary Zhang smiled.
Han Yongxin didn't say much. He just nodded and said nothing.
Secretary Zhai looked at the horse next to the tree stump and asked, "Comrade Yang, where did you get this horse?"
"My husband took me to a Kazakh nomadic village at the foot of Tom Peak last night and got a horse from the home of an elder brother named Bart." Yang Qiujin told the truth: "The horse was a wild horse that my husband tamed a few years ago and has been kept at the home of elder brother Bart. The horse I am riding is its child."
Secretary Zhai suddenly realized: "With Chen Shengqing's ability, he would indeed do such a thing. Their border defense department has several good horses, all of which were tamed by him."
The short and fat Liu Xiaoshan curled his lips and said, "No matter how capable you are, it's a waste for a woman like you to ride this kind of horse. Our farm doesn't even have enough cattle and horses for production, but you are riding such a good horse. Will your horse eat our crops in the future?"
"Are you Liu Xiaoshan?" Yang Qiujin glanced at him with a sneer on her lips, "The Chairman advocates equality between men and women, women can hold up half the sky, and newspapers are full of excellent reports about female comrades shining in all walks of life. What qualifications do you have to look down on female comrades! What's the matter, you are not your mother's child, you jumped out of a stone?
You look down on the stinky foot bindings of female comrades, and I don’t know how you became the warehouse statistician of the Second Company! You even dare not listen to the Chairman’s words. I think you are an anti-revolutionary element. You should let the Little Red Soldiers check your confidence!
Besides, the farm's cattle and horses are the farm's business. I ride my own horse, so why should it bother you? I haven't even flattered you yet, and you start to spread rumors that my horse wants to eat the crops. If I spread rumors that you steal and sell crops, within three days, the Municipal Supervisory Office will come to the farm to investigate you. With your bad behavior, you will be shot sooner or later!"
While having breakfast this morning, Chen Shengqing told Yang Qiujin about the relationship with Liu Wenshan, the relative he had killed.
Liu Xiaoshan and Liu Dashan, one is fat and the other is short, their names are reversed, Liu Xiaoshan is fat and Liu Dashan is thin. They are cousins with Liu Wenshan.
These three grew up together and had an extraordinary brotherly relationship. When they learned the news of Liu Wenshan's death, they threatened to kill Chen Shengqing for revenge. However, four years have passed and they have not done anything.
Since Yang Qiujin was determined to gain the right to speak in Tianshan Farm, these people would definitely go against her and torture her to death.
Anyway, they are mortal enemies, so there is no need for her to be polite to them. If there is a chance to step on them, then step on them hard!
She scolded and swore at them until Liu Xiaoshan and the others were stunned. Liu Dashan's face turned pale and he looked panicked, because Yang Qiujin had hit the nail on the head. They had indeed stolen and sold grain a lot in recent years.
"What a sharp-tongued female comrade." In the crowd, Feng Sheng looked at Yang Qiujin with a gloomy face, "Comrade Liu Xiaoshan said one thing about you, and you said ten things about him. It seems that Captain Han has found a very powerful person."
"You scolded me first! I'm just fighting back." Yang Qiujin thought about the relationship between Feng Sheng and Liu Xiaoshan. She knew that he was Liu Xiaoshan's brother-in-law, so she didn't have a good face for him. "Deputy Director Feng, don't mock me. Since ancient times, officials protecting each other is the most abominable. Your brother-in-law despises and spreads rumors about female comrades, but you not only don't discipline him, but you are weird to me. Are the cadres of Tianshan Farm all nepotism? Corruption from the inside? I think it is necessary to write a letter to the district inspection office to investigate the work style of Tianshan Farm!"
At this moment, everyone's faces changed color. The situation these days was already turbulent. It was impossible for all the people in power in a business unit to be clean and upright. If Yang Qiujin, this troublemaker, really wrote a letter to report to the Municipal Inspection Office of Ava District, then the leaders of their farm would be in great danger if not dead!
Yang Qiujin was a descendant of poor peasants for three generations. Her great-grandfather had served in the army to fight the Japanese invaders, but he became disabled after less than two years of fighting, so he retired from the army and returned home to recuperate, only to die of illness a few years later.
Yang Qiujin received junior high school education, her husband was a military officer, had made great contributions and had a promising future, she herself could be said to be both red and professional, she wanted to report, Chen Shengqing went to the military chief to say something, their farm was afraid...
Thinking of this, the farm factory clerk named Cao Jun, who was tall and strong but actually had a face full of pits and dents and looked particularly ugly, winked at Liu Xiaoshan and the others and said with a smile: "Comrade Yang, you are too polite. Secretary Zhai called us here today to give face to your husband. According to his request, Comrade Liu Xiaoshan will hand over the work to you in person, not to quarrel with you. Calm down and take over the work first."
His appearance made Yang Qiujin feel uncomfortable. Yang Qiujin did not ignore the calculation in his eyes, and did not want to embarrass everyone on the first day of work, so she took the opportunity to say, "You are right, hand over the account book of the second company to Secretary Zhai, Captain Han, and Secretary Zhang. If they think it is okay, I will look at the account book again."
Zhai Hongbo could hold the position of the head of the group, that is, the secretary of the farm. His political and personal qualities must be acceptable. With his current status, it is impossible for him to always protect a small employee like Liu Xiaoshan.
Secretary Zhang and Han Yongxin were able to suggest that she replace Liu Xiaoshan's position. It seems that these two people have a grudge against Liu Xiaoshan and his people, or even a grudge against them.
Let the three of them look at the account book, and she will see what tricks Liu Xiaoshan and his gang can come up with!
Liu Xiaoshan had a feeling that something was wrong, but in front of so many people, he couldn't say the excuse he had arranged with Cao Jun, Feng Sheng and others last night, so he had to hand over the account book reluctantly.
Tianshan Farm has been open for more than ten years. Logically, after such a long time, the warehouse account book of the Second Company of the Second Battalion where Han Yongxin is located should have at least twelve thick books, densely recording the company's income and expenditure.
However, Liu Xiaoshan took out three account books with nothing written on them, but some patterns drawn in circles.
Zhai Hongbo was furious and slapped the account book on Liu Xiaoshan's face. "Is this the account book you have remembered all these years?! I said that your Second Company's annual grain tax payment is not proportional to that of other companies, and you still say it is because of the seeds, the land, and the weather. Explain to me, what is written here? This is a complete mess!"
"Secretary, don't worry about what is drawn on it. As long as I can understand it, it's fine. Our company's food income in recent years has been no problem." Liu Xiaoshan said nonsense in a serious tone.
"Liu Xiaoshan, you are really capable!" Zhai Hongbo pointed the finger at Feng Sheng with a cold face, "Deputy Director Feng, this is your capable brother-in-law who you pushed aside all the people on the scene to talk about back then! You let him take the position of company statistician and assured me that he would have no problem doing this job. He is indeed very capable! Over the years, I have always trusted you and never asked about the company's accounts. Now it seems that you have been the deputy director for so long that you feel that the temple is too small to accommodate you!"
Feng Sheng was sweating profusely, "Secretary Zhai, please listen to my explanation..."
Secretary Zhai didn't want to listen at all. "Liu Xiaoshan, I'll give you half a day to make up the accounts for these years. If you can't make them up, the accounts won't match."
He narrowed his eyes as he spoke, "Just wait to be caught."
Liu Xiaoshan was stunned at first, then his legs went weak and he cried, "Secretary Zhai, it's been so many years, where can I go to make up for the loss?"
In recent years, he and his elder brother, uncles, Cadre Cao and a bunch of others have been stealing and selling grain, and they have all made a lot of money, eating and drinking well every day. They thought that such a good life would continue forever, but they didn't know that Han Yongxin and Secretary Zhang had always refused to go along with them, and after many years, they found Yang Qiujin to ruin their good life!
Now Secretary Zhai is determined to investigate them, and Feng Sheng's act of shielding him from the enemy can no longer stop him. Liu Xiaoshan feels like the sky is falling!
They had been plotting for most of the night yesterday, but before they could implement the plan, they failed at the first step. What should they do?
