Chapter 78 Chapter 78 Liang Xin, congratulations. …
As soon as he entered the room, Lu Chongfeng kicked the door shut with his foot and bent down to kiss Liang Xin's lips.
Liang Xin still had the key in her hand. Lu Chongfeng was holding her just now, and she took the key out of his trouser pocket and opened the door.
"no."
Liang Xin pushed Lu Chongfeng away, breathing slightly.
Just as Lu Chongfeng was about to continue lowering his head to search for Liang Xin's lips, he suddenly realized that her breathing seemed a little wrong. He hurriedly strode to the long hall, first carried Liang Xin to the sofa, and then turned on the incandescent light.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Chongfeng knelt on one knee in front of Liang Xin and looked at her face nervously, "Did I kiss too hard?"
Liang Xin shook her head and patted her chest, "I just suddenly felt a little short of breath."
"Must be tired."
Lu Chongfeng picked up the teapot on the coffee table, but found it was empty. He quickly got up, went to the TV, picked up the glass, unscrewed the glass jar of brown sugar, scooped two spoonfuls of brown sugar into the glass, poured warm water on it, and handed it to Liang Xin.
"You just finished discussing cooperation and rushed back to Jiangkou. You sat in a hard seat all the way. When you arrived in Jiangkou, you went to the guesthouse to eat. You were so anxious and exhausted."
Liang Xin took two sips of the brown sugar water and was about to speak when she saw Lu Chongfeng's guilty look. She took another sip from the cup and said, "Maybe he needs to take a rest."
Lu Chongfeng hurriedly fetched a wooden barrel, poured hot water from two thermoses into it, brought it to Liang Xin, squatted down, held up Liang Xin's feet, and helped her untie the buckles of her leather shoes.
"I can do it myself."
Liangxin had been walking all day and didn't want him to take off his shoes.
"It doesn't smell bad, it smells good."
Lu Chongfeng untied his leather shoes, held up Liang Xin's feet, took off her white socks, and kissed her white instep.
The pink and tender toes curled up instantly.
Liang Xin blushed and quickly put her feet in the basin. The next second, her face turned even redder and she quickly lifted her feet again.
Lu Chongfeng was startled, and quickly held Liang Xin's ankles, blowing air on her red feet. "Aren't you used to soaking your feet in water little by little, and then putting them all in to soak when you get used to it?"
Liang Xin: “….”
"Luckily, this is the water I boiled this morning. If it was hot water right out of the pot, I would definitely get scalded."
Lu Chongfeng puffed up his cheeks and continued to blow air on Liang Xin's feet, "I think you need to rest for a while. You are getting hurt easily if you become too impatient."
Liang Xin paused slightly.
She didn't struggle anymore and let him slowly and gently put her feet into the hot water again and again.
When both her feet were immersed in the hot water, Liang Xin slowly let out a sigh of relief.
Lu Chongfeng raised his head and smiled, "Are you feeling better?"
Liang Xin didn't explain why she breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Chongfeng's unintentional words awakened Liang Xin.
Because she knew how tense the market was and how important opportunities were in the past few years of reform and opening up, after entering university, she really wanted to push her plan into practice as soon as possible. Unconsciously, her pace of life had indeed become the same as before, and her body could not bear the burden. By the time she realized it, she was already overworked and faced the risk of serious illness and early death.
If Lu Chongfeng hadn't reminded her today, Liang Xin wouldn't have realized that she had subconsciously turned into a workaholic again. If she continued according to the original plan, she would only stop when her body forced her to.
Liang Xin patted the sofa next to her.
As soon as Lu Chongfeng stood up and sat down, Liang Xin leaned her head on his shoulder.
"Tired?"
Lu Chongfeng hugged Liang Xin's shoulders and kissed her forehead. "Other people go to school, and that's all they do. You have to think about expanding the bakery in addition to going to school. You used to be able to take a break during holidays, but after the martyr's relatives came, you've been busy even during holidays. You've worked so hard."
Liang Xin smelled the familiar and soothing soap scent on him, and her tense back relaxed.
"During the initial stage, it doesn't matter how busy we are. Once everything is on the right track, we can hand it over to everyone with confidence."
Lu Chongfeng held Liang Xin's hand and rubbed the acupoints and meridians there.
“I didn’t expect the chicken farm to go so smoothly.”
Liang Xin leaned on Lu Chongfeng's shoulder and said, "You can take a good rest this summer vacation."
Lu Chongfeng's eyes lit up, "Don't you have to go back?"
"Ask the logistics department to help the bakery get a phone tomorrow. Many things can be solved over the phone."
Liang Xin changed her hand and asked him to massage it. "Now it's time to wait. Wait for the bakery to make money and for the chicken farm to be built. If you don't have money, you can't do other things."
"It's a good time to have a good rest."
Lu Chongfeng took the washbasin and added water for washing his face, got a towel and soap, went to the bathroom to squeeze toothpaste onto the toothbrush, and also added warm water to the toothbrush cup and placed it on the coffee table.
After washing up, Lu Chongfeng carried Liang Xin back to bed, covered her with the quilt, and looked up to see Liang Xin's smiling face.
"What are you laughing at?"
"It's like I'm in confinement."
Lu Chongfeng was stunned. "I don't know how to take care of you during the confinement period. You must find someone to help you during the confinement period."
Liang Xin was already used to this kind of conversation from him, and she thought along the lines of what he said, "I definitely can't let you take care of me during my confinement. Not to mention the long-term consequences, if you go to a company, you'll be there all day, and when you come back, you'll probably see a dried corpse lying on the bed."
Think of that picture.
Lu Chongfeng, who would not even blink when facing the mighty forces of the army, tanks and cannons on the battlefield, actually shuddered and almost raised his eyebrows, "Stop talking nonsense!"
Liang Xin looked at his expression and chuckled.
Lu Chongfeng suddenly added: "You won't starve to death in one day!"
Liang Xin paused.
“Not even three days!” Lu Chongfeng continued, “If a person does not eat, within three days, the body will consume the stored sugar and fat. After the energy in the body is consumed, it will lead to organ failure and tissue necrosis. This usually takes seven days. Mummies are naturally dried in a relatively dry environment after death, just like the salted chicken we pickle during the Chinese New Year. It needs to be hung on the wall when the weather is good and exposed to the wind and sun for several months before it becomes a dried salted chicken…”
Liang Xin slowly slid into the quilt.
Suddenly she realized that she was not at all used to Lu Chongfeng talking like this.
The reason why I feel like I'm used to it is because I went to college, the phone was separated by a switchboard, and I talked less, which created an illusion.
After Lu Chongfeng finished explaining, he heard some shallow breathing. He looked down and saw that Liang Xin was already breathing evenly and had fallen into a deep sleep.
Lu Chongfeng stared at Liang Xin's sleeping face for a long time. Only when the lights-out signal rang did he bear to look away. He went to the bathroom to quickly take a shower and brush his teeth. Before turning off the lights, he got into bed and gently held Liang Xin in his arms.
Lying on the bed at home, hugging the fragrant and soft Liang Xin again, Lu Chongfeng buried himself in Liang Xin's hair, took a deep breath of the mixed fragrance of shampoo and vanishing cream, and closed his eyes in satisfaction.
It has been a long time since Liang Xin felt awakened by the smell of kitchen fragrance.
I slept until I woke up naturally.
Liang Xin lay on the bed, stretched, faced the window, and laid her face sideways on Lu Chongfeng's pillow, trying to figure out what was cooking in the kitchen.
It's like cooking porridge.
Liang Xin got up from bed, threw off the quilt, put on her slippers and walked to the kitchen. She saw Lu Chongfeng wearing a white shirt and green military pants, standing tall on the stove, stirring the big pot with an iron spoon in his hand. He turned around when he heard some noise in the corridor, and smiled brightly when he saw her.
"Are you up so early?"
"Liang Xin!"
A warning sound came from the wall next door. A few seconds later, Li Mao's face appeared on the wall. Seeing Liang Xin, he was surprised. "You're back! Why did you come back so suddenly?"
Liang Xin looked at the moss on the wall covered with dew and realized that it had not been touched for a long time. "Be careful, don't fall."
"I just made some omelets. I'll bring them to you!"
After Li Mao finished shouting, he disappeared over the wall.
"The door is not bolted. Open it yourself and come in later."
Liang Xin shouted at the wall, walked into the kitchen, and smelled the aroma of porridge stewed in a large iron pot up close. When she got closer, she saw that two enamel bowls were already filled with side dishes.
Jellyfish skin, fried peanuts, thinly sliced fish, also small slices of fish strips, minced ginger and chopped green onions, and Lu Chongfeng picked up the soy sauce and dripped it into the bowl.
Liang Xin looked at the sashimi and for a moment didn't recognize what he was going to do.
"I went to the office cafeteria's chef to ask for the recipe."
Lu Chongfeng scooped up the boiling hot porridge and poured it into the enamel bowl. The fish meat immediately turned from transparent to snow-white, and the jellyfish skin instantly became crispy and tender. "This is sashimi porridge. Eat this in the morning to replenish your nutrition."
Liang Xin smelled the rich fragrance and turned to go to the bathroom, "I'm going to brush my teeth!"
Li Mao placed a plate of egg pancakes on the table in the long hall, then stood at the bathroom door and watched Liang Xin brush her teeth. "Isn't summer vacation just around the corner? We all saw the news reports about the opening of Jiangjing Bakery. We were all so envious. We didn't expect the Jiangjing store to be even bigger than the Beijing one!"
Liang Xin rinsed her mouth, picked up the towel and put it under the faucet, "You can go if you are jealous, we are short of people."
"I dream of going there, but with these three kids, there's no way I can leave."
Li Mao watched Liang Xin wash her face, "Aren't you cold? It's not hot yet."
I have finished washing.
Liang Xin scooped up a piece of vanishing cream and applied it on her face.
"Have the new martyrs' relatives arrived yet?"
"The relatives of martyrs have been coming here intermittently."
Li Mao said: "Zhong Xuelian is in charge of the training, and it's up to you to decide who to choose."
"It's time to eat."
Lu Chongfeng walked out of the kitchen carrying two bowls of raw fish porridge. "Don't talk about work during the meal. She needs to rest."
"It's time to rest."
Li Mao walked side by side with Liang Xin. "Studying is the most demanding thing. Our old Lei worked hard for many years before he was finally admitted to a junior college. Every time he studied, he told me that he admired my brain. He could pass such a difficult test and become the top scorer."
"It's true that the questions are getting harder and harder. When the college entrance examination was just resumed, the questions were not that difficult."
"Don't be so modest. It's not that difficult. How come the couple next door to you couldn't pass the exam after so many attempts?"
Liang Xin looked at a plate of egg pancakes and asked, "Is there any porridge in the pot?"
"have."
Lu Chongfeng understood what Liang Xin meant, and went back to the kitchen, scooped a bowl of raw fish porridge and handed it to Li Mao, "The children need nutrition for their studies, take it back and try it."
Li Mao took the bowl and said, "This is enough for our whole family!"
Before Liang Xin could get curious, Li Mao sat down with a bowl in his hand and said, "Staff Officer Xie next door has been released from prison. I heard that he not only refuses to divorce, but also refuses to leave the base compound."
Liang Xin scooped up a spoonful of sashimi porridge. The tender fish meat mixed with the aroma of rice melted in her mouth. It tasted salty and fresh, and the aftertaste of pepper stimulated her taste buds. She took a bite of fried peanuts, and her mouth was filled with fragrance.
Liang Xin couldn't help but nodded to Lu Chongfeng. After swallowing it, she looked at Li Mao, "And then?"
"And then, there is no then. If he wants to stick around like this, what can I do?"
Li Mao looked at Liang Xin's "enjoyed" expression and swallowed his saliva. "But yesterday, I seemed to hear that your relative went to the base compound to help Minister Yu and reached an agreement with Xie Kangmei. You eat first and we'll talk later."
Liang Xin saw that Li Mao wanted to eat, so she hurried away and couldn't help but smile, "Look at your cooking skills, they are getting better and better."
Although it was not specified that it was Wei Yuanyang, there was only one "they are relatives" in the 11th Division. Lu Chongfeng picked the fish fillet and put it in Liang Xin's bowl. "He is very active. Others have not divorced yet, but he goes to the house every now and then to participate in the marriage."
Liang Xin scooped up some porridge and drank it. "This porridge is so delicious. I want another bowl!"
Seeing that Liang Xin didn't want to talk about this topic at all and only wanted to drink the porridge he cooked, Lu Chongfeng raised the corners of his lips and said, "There is still half a pot in the pot. My bowl has just cooled down a bit and I haven't touched it yet. You eat this bowl first and I'll go get more."
Liang Xin brought the bowl in front of him and said, "I'll eat it too after it's been touched."
Lu Chongfeng pressed the tip of his tongue against his left cheek, trying to hold back the corners of his mouth that were curling up wildly. Holding Liang Xin's empty bowl, he strode towards the backyard kitchen.
Liang Xin looked at his heroic and proud back, curled the corners of her lips slightly, lowered her head and continued to eat the delicious sashimi porridge.
Because she felt a little short of breath last night, Lu Chongfeng told Liang Xin not to go to the bakery and participate in work within three days.
Don't do laundry, cooking or cleaning at home.
Before leaving, Lu Chongfeng posted a note on the door:
"Liang Xin is not allowed to visit during her convalescence."
Li Mao had just finished eating and was about to come back to continue chatting. He walked to the door, looked at the words on the letter paper, and rushed in, "Liang Xin, Liang Xin, what's wrong with you?"
Lu Chongfeng: “…”
Lu Chongfeng picked up the pen and added words under a line of words.
"During the recuperation period, it is forbidden to talk about work."
"Nothing, maybe I'm just tired from riding the train all the way."
Liang Xin walked to the door, looked at the words on the door, and smiled, "Aren't you going to work yet?"
“Yes.”
Lu Chongfeng looked at Li Mao, "Sister-in-law, don't talk about work, she needs to rest."
Li Mao stared at Liang Xin and asked, "Are you pregnant?"
Liang Xin: “?”
Lu Chongfeng: “???”
"Weren't you more tired during the college entrance examination? You didn't feel this tired."
Li Mao crossed her arms over her chest and said, "I think you look a bit like you're pregnant."
Liang Xin and Lu Chongfeng looked at each other, frowned, and calculated the time.
When two people meet, if they are not in the safe period, they will use the regularly distributed family planning products for contraception, and there have never been any accidents.
Speaking of accidents...
Liang Xin thought of the last time in front of the mirror and her face turned red involuntarily.
But considering the time, that was also a safe period.
Going further back, it is the bathroom in the Beijing Guesthouse, where Lu Chongfeng used to stay before going abroad.
"Forget it, go to the hospital."
Lu Chongfeng said, "I was originally planning to ask a doctor to come to your home to check your body to see if there are any other problems. Now let's go directly to the division hospital."
"Liang Xin, congratulations."
Doctor Liao held the examination report and smiled, "You are pregnant. You have arranged your time very well. You were able to have the baby right after graduation. It didn't delay your schooling at all."
The inspection report was taken away by Lu Chongfeng.
Liang Xin looked at his frowning eyebrows, the medical report almost sticking to his eyelashes, "Do you understand?"
Lu Chongfeng shook his head, "I don't understand."
Liang Xin pulled back the report, "I don't understand why you grabbed it so quickly."
Lu Chongfeng, "I just saw a plus sign."
"The plus sign represents a positive result," Liao Ting explained. "A positive urine test means that I'm pregnant. I'm more than two months pregnant now."
Lu Chongfeng and Liang Xin looked at each other.
I understand that there are children in Beijing.
Liang Xin's gaze involuntarily became gentle as she looked at the examination report, then slowly lowered her head to look at her flat belly. Psychological effect followed, and she felt her belly becoming swollen, as if something was growing. She couldn't help but feel amused at her own psychological reaction.
Liang Xin looked up at Lu Chongfeng, only to find that his brows were still as tight as needles.
"You're not welcome?"
"Welcome." Lu Chongfeng ignored the presence of Dr. Liao, leaned over and hugged Liang Xin's shoulders, looking at her face, "I was just thinking that you were just about to rest when the baby came, and I was afraid you couldn't handle it."
"stupid."
Liang Xin folded up the medical report and said, "I feel unwell. It may be a reaction caused by pregnancy. By the way, Doctor Liao, my menstruation was normal last month. What's going on?"
Doctor Liao smiled and said, "Has the amount decreased a lot?"
Liang Xin thought about how she was busy with the opening of Jiangjing Bakery at the time, contacting major newspapers, finishing the decoration of the bakery, preparing snack varieties and raw materials, etc. She only knew that it had come, and didn't pay attention to the quantity at all. Looking back now, it seems that it is indeed not as much as before, nor as long as before.
"Is that okay? Also, I've been working with the engineering team on renovations recently. Will these smells have an impact?"
Liao Ting felt Liang Xin's pulse and said, "The pulse is steady and strong, nothing serious. Remember to get more rest, replenish your nutrition, and come for the pregnancy test on time."
Liang Xin originally thought that everything would be a breeze for her and nothing could stir up her strong feelings of panic.
But it was my first pregnancy, and as I walked out of Dr. Liao’s office and down the stairs, I suddenly found that I was afraid to walk.
It seems that if I put a little more force on my feet, the child will run away.
Usually, Lu Chongfeng was by her side to comfort and persuade her.
Liang Xin took a long time to adjust herself and found that the person holding her wrist didn't make any sound. She looked up and saw his Adam's apple rolling and he kept swallowing his saliva. Although his face looked normal, he was obviously more nervous than her and even spoke out.
Liang Xin suddenly laughed, and with this laugh, the nervous string in her head broke, and she returned to normal, raising her feet and walking down.
"Slowly...slowly."
Lu Chongfeng held Liang Xin's wrist tightly and asked, "Do you want me to carry you down?"
"Don't be nervous. Your nervousness will affect me."
Liang Xin brushed his hand away, held his arm instead, and tried to persuade him, "In the past two months, I took the train from Beijing to Jiangjing, and was busy with the opening of the Jiangjing Bakery, and negotiated a cooperation agreement for the chicken farm. Then I immediately rushed from Jiangjing to Jiangkou, and took the logistics car all the way back from the train station. During this time, you also..."
Liang Xin couldn't continue speaking because Lu Chongfeng's face had turned pale.
Liang Xin was amused again. "The most dangerous three months are almost over. Don't come near me. If you get too nervous, you will fail."
With this stimulation, Lu Chongfeng's face turned from pale to normal color. He stood on the platform at the corner, took a few breaths, and held Liang Xin's hand as he walked down.
I walked slowly from the teacher's hospital to my home, feeling the wind blowing all the way.
Liang Xin's mentality has completely returned to normal. "Fortunately, we have a lot of milk powder coupons. I can drink more milk every day to supplement my nutrition."
Lu Chongfeng immediately went to look for milk powder in the drawers.
"With the malted milk tea."
Liang Xin pointed at the low cabinet under the TV cabinet and said, "What are you looking for in the cupboard? Is that where the milk powder is stored?"
Lu Chongfeng followed the instructions and took out the milk powder. He knew that it had to be mixed with warm water, and handed the glass to Liang Xin.
Liang Xin just looked up and found that his forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat, "...Comrade Lu Zewei."
Lu Chongfeng stood at attention immediately, "Here!"
I'll give you a minute to adjust yourself.
Liang Xin swallowed these words, took the milk cup from his hand, held his hand and put it on her stomach.
His palms touched the warm skin, and his fingertips, covered with calluses, trembled slightly.
"Children are like vegetable gardens in the backyard. Even if you don't pay attention to them, they will grow quietly."
Liang Xin said: "We just need to replenish nutrients, take a walk every day, and go for pregnancy checkups on time. It's even easier than growing vegetables."
After hearing this, thinking about Liang Xin's previous process of planting vegetables, such as pouring bean dregs, sowing seeds, covering with plastic film, building racks, and spraying pesticides... Lu Chongfeng relaxed from the inside out, took Liang Xin's handkerchief, wiped the sweat off his head, and said, "I am so useless."
Liang Xin smiled again, "It means you care about us."
"Of course!"
Lu Chongfeng looked at the milk in Liang Xin's hand and said, "Drink it while it's hot. Do you want to prepare some biscuits and snacks?"
Liang Xin was still full after having sashimi porridge and egg pancakes in the morning. She shook her head, picked up the milk cup and drank half of it. "You go to work, I can take another nap."
After Lu Chongfeng left, Liang Xin did not go to bed.
I sat on the sofa for a long time with my palms on my lower abdomen.
There was a knock on the door.
Liang Xin responded, "Please come in."
"Comrade Liang Xin."
Director Wu of the Logistics Department came in with a smile on his face. "After dinner last night, Minister Zou held a meeting to discuss what reward you should receive. This morning, we immediately went to the city's electrical appliance store and bought a new refrigerator as a reward for you. Can you move it in now?"
Liang Xin was stunned for a moment.
A refrigerator starts at one thousand.
This is much better than the reward of one or two hundred yuan that Lu Chongfeng mentioned.
If it were someone else, Liang Xin might be polite, but it was rare for the division logistics to take out a reward, "Move in!"
A brand new refrigerator was carried in. After unpacking it, I pointed to the green two-layer single-door refrigerator and introduced how to use it and the precautions.
"Wanbao and Snowflake refrigerators are the most popular on the market now, but I heard from a family member of a chief at the base that Snowflake refrigerators are too noisy and keep them awake, so Minister Zou used his connections to get a ticket for a Wanbao refrigerator."
Director Wu said, "Comrade Liang Xin, this is an exceptional reward given to you by the logistics department. Even when Captain Lu and his men won the first-class collective merit on the battlefield, they did not receive this reward."
Liang Xin raised her eyebrows and said, "Director Wu, how can I dare to accept it if you say that?"
"No, no, no, I made a wrong analogy, Comrade Liang Xin, please don't worry and accept it."
Director Wu said hurriedly: "The two really cannot be compared together. Comrade Liang Xin, for your contribution to the 11th Division, you deserve this refrigerator. Commander Yang and Political Commissar Zheng both said that the first refrigerator in the division must be awarded to you first!"
