Wei Aiguo reached out and touched the warm kang (heated brick bed). He hadn't encountered a kang since going to the South. Sitting on it felt so comforting. Especially the warm feeling of snuggling into the quilt; it made his whole body feel comfortable.
Song Yan had also finished tidying up, and she lifted Wei Aiguo's blanket.
Wei Aiguo was startled. "What are you doing?"
"What's with that expression?" Song Yan slapped Wei Aiguo. Did she think she was a female hooligan?
Wei Aiguo pulled the blanket from Song Yan's hands. Song Yan simply lifted it from underneath and placed his hand on Wei Aiguo's knee.
Wei Aiguo moved back about a foot.
Song Yan: "?" How can someone with a leg injury be so agile?
Wei Aiguo: "Xiaoyan, wait until tomorrow... tomorrow..."
"You're really speechless! Let me see your leg injury! Let me see if there's any way to fix it? Do you think I can..." Song Yan glared at Wei Aiguo, his face slowly turning red.
This time, Song Yan gripped Wei Aiguo's knee tightly and slowly pulled up his long underwear.
I'm really healed!
A wound more than 20 centimeters long was on his calf.
Song Yan needs to feel along the shinbone from top to bottom.
Wei Aiguo was very nervous. He had already guessed that Song Yan wanted to see his leg, so he deliberately changed the subject, trying to divert attention from the matter of his leg injury.
"ah!"
Wei Aiguo suddenly hugged Song Yan tightly, startling Song Yan.
"Be good, let me take a look at your leg! You know I'm a very good doctor. Maybe I can cure you." Song Yan said with a smile.
Wei Aiguo turned around and pinned Song Yan down. "Did you miss me?" He kissed her without waiting for her answer.
Wei Aiguo's kisses were delicate and lingering; Song Yan had neither the strength nor the desire to resist...
If he didn't stop, Wei Aiguo would completely lose his temper.
Song Yan was so overwhelmed by Wei Aiguo's kisses that he forgot about his leg injury.
"Let's go to the commune to take pictures tomorrow! Let's take a family photo. Then we'll take another one just the two of us." Wei Aiguo tried to calm his breathing.
"Great! Take a picture of Bai Shuang and mail it to them. Tell them not to send any more money!"
"Xiao Yan, thank you for taking such good care of the family," Wei Aiguo said to Song Yan.
Wei Aiguo rambled on and on.
Song Yan: "You don't want me to see my leg injury!"
“My bones have already grown like this, what else can I do? I’m used to it,” Wei Aiguo said calmly.
Wei Aiguo is right; the bone is already in that state. The only way to cure it is probably through corrective surgery. Such surgery is quite difficult, and it would require going through all that pain again.
I understand this principle and still want to check it myself.
Well, whether he's lame or not, Song Yan really didn't mind.
…
In the morning, Aunt Wei saw that the couple seemed quite happy. She breathed a sigh of relief.
Song Yan was no longer the thin, small girl she was when she first got married. She had grown taller, her skin had become fairer, and her eyes were especially beautiful. Not just in the whole brigade, but even in other brigades, Song Yan's appearance was exceptionally outstanding. She was also very capable. Even the straw used for firewood could be transformed into something so beautiful in her hands.
Half a year's worth of double work points equals a year's worth of full work points. Plus, she gets work points from her regular classes and the literacy class. She and Li Yuanzhao have the highest work points in the entire brigade. Even the men can't earn as many as them.
Now the second child is lame. How can a mother not worry? Getting a job is nothing special; no one can compare to Song Yan's good fortune.
Seeing their happy faces, Aunt Wei felt relieved. In fact, the old lady was quite proud; she was only fortunate to have such a good daughter-in-law. Because back then, Wei Aiguo hadn't actually chosen Song Yan; he was just following her orders.
Wei Aiguo said that they would go to the commune to take a family photo later.
Wei An and Wei Ping were stunned; they had never taken a picture before!
"Mom, I'm going too." Chang Xiaohu was afraid of leaving him behind.
"Go, all of you go! Xiaoxiao will be dressed up nicely later, let's all go!" Aunt Wei was relieved and happy now.
"I...I..." Xiaoxiao hesitated. Besides, she wanted to tell Song Yan today that she wanted to move back to the educated youth settlement.
"What are you nagging about?" Aunt Wei slapped her. "You're saving these new clothes for the New Year? Don't wait until then, wear them today."
Wei Aiguo had a new set of clothes in his bag, which he had prepared for himself…
With so many people, Wei Aiguo specially went to the brigade to borrow a horse-drawn carriage. People on the road asked what he was going to do.
Aunt Wei said happily, "Let's go take a picture."
These days, getting a photo taken is quite a luxury.
Aunt Wei's words from yesterday have been spread around. Someone like her, daring to laugh at Wei Aiguo's family. These people really don't know their place.
The photographer was truly astonished; they actually took pictures of dogs! But since the customer was willing to pay, the photographer didn't say anything.
Wei Aiguo and his wife took one photo, Bai Shuang took another. Then they took a family photo with Bai Shuang and Hei Zai.
The fact that there was a dog in the family photo was truly an eye-opener for the master.
The incident started when Wei Ping and Wei An heard that Bai Shuang was being photographed, and asked where Hei Zai was. They stared at Wei Aiguo with their big, dark eyes.
The photo of Bai Shuang was for mailing. Wei Aiguo instinctively wanted to refuse, but Song Yan stopped him. "We're taking a family photo soon anyway. Let's bring both dogs!"
This was nothing out of the ordinary in Song Yan's eyes.
People will still call dogs "son" in the future.
Besides, Song Yan himself also likes Hei Zai and Bai Shuang!
Wei Aiguo and Aunt Wei both felt that Song Yan spoiled the child to an extreme.
This could be considered a generation gap, Song Yan thought to himself.
