Chapter 65: Setting Sun and Shadow
Wang Jiangling, who lived next door to Ye Mu, heard the voices in the corridor, walked to the door and looked towards the stairs. The pregnant woman glanced at Wang Jiangling, and then found that Wang Jiangling was looking at the girl in front of her who extended a friendly hand to her with disgust.
She frowned and had a bad impression of Wang Jiangling.
Ye Mu guessed her worry and said solemnly: "Even if I fall, I will never fall you."
She always keeps her word.
The pregnant woman burst out laughing and put her hand on Ye Mu's. There were calluses on her hands, similar to the ones Ye Mu felt on Zhao Nianxi's hands.
The pregnant woman found that Ye Mu's hands were very tender. She could tell that she had not worked much before and was just thin:
"Are you a family member of a soldier who came to the military district during the summer vacation?"
"I haven't seen you before, are you still in school?"
If you haven't worked, then you've been studying, and there was a hint of envy in her tone.
Ye Mu helped her down the stairs slowly, and thought for a while before answering her question:
"I am not..."
Just when they were talking, Zhao Nianxi came up from downstairs and saw this scene. He immediately greeted the two of them happily:
"Ye Mu, Qian Huanhuan, you two should slow down. Your belly is so big, I'm afraid you might have twins. Be careful."
"Are you going downstairs for a walk?"
Qian Huanhuan glanced at Ye Mu and was a little surprised: "Are you Captain Song's wife?"
Ye Mu nodded: "Yeah."
"She looks so young, maybe fifteen or sixteen. I thought she was a family member who came to the military area to stay for a while during the summer vacation."
"But in our village, many people get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and become mothers at the age of eighteen or nineteen. I got married late. I got married at the age of eighteen, and only joined the army last year, and then I got pregnant."
Knowing that Ye Mu was a soldier's wife, Qian Huanhuan suddenly became more talkative. She had a smile on her face when she talked about her marriage, but a little more shy when she mentioned that she was pregnant while accompanying the army.
Ye Mu said: "I'm eighteen."
Upon hearing this, Qian Huanhuan glanced at Ye Mu and suddenly laughed: "You will join the army as soon as you get married. Maybe you will get pregnant next year."
Ye Mu: "...I'm still young."
Zhao Nianxi nodded at the side: "Of course, she is still young. Ye Mu just got sick with a fever a few days ago and went to the clinic twice. She is still not in good health. It may not be good to have a baby too early."
After going down the stairs, Qian Huanhuan held her waist and looked at Ye Mu:
"Sister-in-law is right. You and Captain Song should not be anxious. You are still young. When I first got married, I thought eighteen was too late. Compared with the people in the village, I was several years later. Then I didn't get pregnant for two years. Now I am twenty and pregnant. I think it is a bit early. When I got pregnant, I was thinking about reading more books and learning more knowledge when I arrived at the military region."
"You can't even concentrate on reading right now. You just came to the army, right? If you're willing to listen, just listen. You're still young and there's no rush to have kids. Captain Song is a good person, so you should learn more skills and knowledge."
Zhao Nianxi added, "Military cadres will organize military wives to study every once in a while, and you can just follow them when the time comes."
Ye Mu nodded: "Okay."
"We're not in a hurry." There was no such plan at all.
Qian Huanhuan could see that Ye Mu was really not in a hurry, so she just followed her words and took Ye Mu's hand and said:
"If you're not busy, can you help me down the stairs? Living high up is a little troublesome, but the doctor said I can't stay at home all the time. I need to walk around and exercise more so that the birth will be smoother."
Zhao Nianxi was a little worried and asked, "How about I help you downstairs?"
Qian Huanhuan smiled at Zhao Nianxi, and the dimple on her face looked very cute:
"Sister-in-law, I see you must be busy, and Ye Mu just helped me down, don't worry, I'm also a steady person. Nothing will happen, it's just that Ye Mu is beautiful, white and tender, maybe if you walk around with her more, if you give birth to a daughter, she will be as beautiful as Ye Mu."
Ye Mu: Genes cannot be passed on to the offspring in the mother's body through skin contact.
"I'll help you downstairs." she said to Qian Huanhuan.
Zhao Nianxi thought so too, so he gave them a few words of advice, asking them to be careful and pay attention to safety, and then went upstairs.
Ye Mu helped Qian Huanhuan downstairs. Qian Huanhuan was talkative. Although Ye Mu looked calm, she didn't care. She wanted to talk:
"I heard about you a few days ago. My husband also said that Captain Song was very protective of you and told me to help you if I saw you, but not to provoke you if I didn't help you. He was afraid of angering Captain Song."
As she spoke, she laughed: "You weren't bullied by some of the wives of the military when you first arrived in the army, were you? Some wives of the military have been with the army for a long time and like to curry favor with others. When I first arrived in the army, I didn't know that there were so many complicated rules among the wives of the military. They were divided into different levels just like soldiers according to who arrived first and who arrived later."
"If you get bullied, tell Captain Song directly. Captain Song is so protective of you, he will definitely help you. You can also tell these things to Sister Zhao just now. Sister Zhao is the wife of the political commissar and a cadre who manages the wives of military officers. She will definitely do her best to help you solve problems and issues."
Ye Mu shook his head: "It's nothing serious."
Qian Huanhuan is an experienced person. After hearing her say this, she knew that something must have happened. And if nothing happened, why would Captain Song protect his wife?
She squeezed Ye Mu's hand and said, "It's just that I'm pregnant now, so I can't get angry. You don't know, when I first came to the army, I wasn't as gentle and quiet as you. There was a military wife who pissed me off, and I scolded her for several days, so much so that she had to come and apologize to me."
Ye Mu was indeed a little surprised. He took a look at Qian Huanhuan. Qian Huanhuan now exuded the radiance of motherhood all over her body. She was extremely gentle, like an older sister who was teaching her and advising her. She actually had such a side to her.
Qian Huanhuan was amused by her surprised look. Thinking of this, she felt quite proud and impressive.
"If you are stronger than those who bullied you, they won't dare to mess with you. Now during the New Year and other holidays, the military wife I scolded is still happily visiting me and exchanging gifts with me. Sometimes we even knit sweaters together."
"Just suppress them, and you'll have a smooth life. It's not good to have a complete falling out in this big family of the military."
Ye Mu nodded and helped her out of the family building: "I understand, thank you."
Seeing how polite she was, Qian Huanhuan felt in her pocket and took out two candies. They were not milk candies, but hard candies:
"Then I also thank you, comrade who loves to help others. This candy was bought by my husband. After I got pregnant, I liked sweet things. I ate a lot, but now I'm tired of it. I'm giving it to you. Sweeten your mouth."
Ye Mu took it and looked at the sky. The sun was on the western hilltop, but it wasn't that hot anymore. She said to Qian Huanhuan, "When are you coming upstairs?"
Qian Huanhuan asked: "Why, you still want to come downstairs to help me up?"
Ye Mu did have this plan. She felt that a pregnant woman like Qian Huanhuan should be given special attention and care.
The Fertility Research Institute has guards on duty.
It’s not because the embryo is important, but because every person’s life is important.
The Fertility Research Institute nurtures the fragile new life of the planet. Qian Huanhuan carries two lives... no, Zhao Nianxi just said they are twins, so that means there are three lives.
Qian Huanhuan's condition also makes her more vulnerable to injury.
She nodded to Qian Huanhuan and said frankly: "Well, I am a little worried about you."
Qian Huanhuan felt that Ye Mu was too solid, but she also knew that her belly looked scary:
"Okay, when the sun sets, come down and help me. I'll just walk around here. The sun isn't that strong now, so I'll bask in it for a while."
Originally, she just thought Ye Mu was handsome and a little superstitious. She wanted to have more contact with Ye Mu so that the baby in her belly would be better looking.
Now hearing Ye Mu say that he was worried about her, Qian Huanhuan felt warm in her heart. She held her belly and walked slowly.
Ye Mu returned home and tried to lift the box of parts, but she couldn't lift it, so she gave up. She opened the bag that Song Yanzhou brought back, took out a book, and went to the balcony to read it. She planned to wait until she could no longer see the sun on the balcony, and then go downstairs to pick up Qian Huanhuan.
