During the months that Yun Ningyan stayed at home to rest and prepare for her pregnancy, Yang Laidi and Zhao Weiguo also got married.
There's no work to do in the fields now, so Zhao Weiguo is out working every day.
I don't even know what I'm going out to do.
Yang Laidi couldn't be bothered to care. Anyway, she was eating well and dressing well now, so she didn't care about him.
Even with Zhao Weiguo's audacity, he wouldn't dare to act recklessly.
Yang Laidi is now almost four months pregnant.
She waits at home every day for Zhao Weiguo to cook for her.
Zhao Weiguo returned after taking a stroll outside and asked, "Laidi, are you hungry? Do you want me to cook?"
Yang Laidi nodded: "I'm starving, I want to eat meat!"
Zhao Weiguo: "All you want to do is eat meat. It's so cold outside, where am I supposed to get you any meat?"
Zhao Weiguo's eyes flickered: "Tomorrow! I'll go to the commune tomorrow and buy you some meat."
After the two had eaten, Zhao Weiguo helped Yang Laidi to rest on the kang (a heated brick bed).
He took out a hundred yuan from his pocket: "Laidi, take this hundred yuan. If anything happens to me in the future, this will be your life-saving money."
Yang Laidi was overjoyed: "How come you're giving me so much money all at once? I can't even go out here, and I can't buy anything even if I want to."
"It's okay, you can keep it! I have more here. I'll buy you some meat tomorrow. You need to be nutritious while you're pregnant."
Yang Laidi felt very happy.
She never expected that she would have a child so soon after marrying Zhao Weiguo, and that Zhao Weiguo would treat her so well.
I cook for her every day.
The next day, Zhao Weiguo got up early and went to the commune to buy meat.
But a major event occurred in the brigade.
The higher-ups sent down a lot of militiamen, and they were carrying real weapons.
The captain only knew that something big must have happened above.
But if others don't say anything, he won't ask. Even if they do say something, he doesn't dare to listen!
These major events are usually life-threatening.
He contacted these people on his own.
The reason given to him by the team leader was: "We have been assigned by the higher-ups to protect the safety of the villagers! Wild animals may come down from the mountain and endanger people's property."
The captain nodded.
Only then did they tell the commune members not to be afraid, because the higher-ups were worried that wild animals might come down from the mountain to protect them.
It seems like last year it was the neighboring brigade, but this year it's their turn.
Once the militia arrived, they patrolled day and night.
When Zhao Weiguo returned from the commune, he was so moved by the sight of the men with guns that he could hardly move.
He tried to run, but those with guns immediately stopped him.
"You! Stop right there! What are you doing?"
Zhao Weiguo swallowed hard.
"I went to the commune to buy meat for my wife; she's pregnant."
The two men exchanged a glance, and then followed Zhao Weiguo to his home, where they discovered that he was not lying.
Then he left.
Zhao Weiguo breathed a sigh of relief.
Quickly lock the door and go back to cook.
"Laidi, why are there so many people outside? What are they doing here?"
Yang Laidi didn't take it seriously: "The brigade leader said it was the militia, to prevent wild animals from coming down the mountain."
Zhao Weiguo nodded.
"I'll go make you some meat, you can rest!"
Many strangers came to the brigade, and Huo Junshan saw them too.
"Ningning, stay home for the next two days and don't go anywhere. I have a feeling something big is going to happen in the team."
"A lot of militiamen came, carrying real guns."
Yun Ningyan asked in surprise, "Why are so many people here?"
"Didn't you say last time that Ji Boyu and his group were soldiers?"
Are there any prisoners in our brigade?
This was just her guess, but anyway, something seemed off.
Huo Junshan: "I don't know how I'll get back. Anyway, don't go out recently. I'll go to the front and check on them, and give them a heads-up."
He locked the outer gate and headed towards the Huo family's residence.
These past few days, Li Xiangyun has gone back to the front, and Huo Junshan has been staying at home with nothing to do, so she's been visiting less often.
He and Yun Ningyan took care of her.
Anyway, both children are very well-behaved and don't cry or make a fuss.
Huo Yunxi would sometimes cry a little, but Huo Yunchuan would only cry when he was hungry or needed to poop.
Yun Ningyan even suspected that Huo Yunchuan was an idiot.
She said it twice, but Li Xiangyun waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "My grandson is perfectly fine, how could he be stupid?"
Huo Junshan also thought it was impossible.
He even secretly pinched Huo Yunchuan, and Huo Yunchuan burst into tears as soon as he did.
What's wrong with that?
Luckily, his wife didn't notice.
Yun Ningyan was happy; her son wasn't stupid, that was good, that was good.
Huo Junshan entered the courtyard. His mother was cooking in the kitchen, and his second sister-in-law was tending the fire.
"Mother, why haven't you eaten yet?"
"Third brother, why are you here at this time? Can Ningning look after the two children by herself?"
Huo Junshan nodded: "It's alright, I'll be back in a bit."
“I have something to tell you. Tell the eldest brother, the second brother, and the fifth brother not to go out and cause trouble.”
"Try not to go out, just stay at home."
"To avoid causing trouble."
Li Xiangyun was taken aback. What had happened?
"Third brother, what's wrong?"
She pulled Huo Junshan into the house and asked Zhang Hongying to watch the pot.
"It's alright, Mother. The militia has come to the team. I suspect something serious has happened. It's best not to go out. You should tell your older brother and the others."
"Okay, I understand."
Li Xiangyun nodded; she knew that her third brother must have his reasons for saying that!
"I'll talk to your older brother and the others in a bit. You should go back soon!"
Huo Junshan then went back.
"You told them? I don't think it was necessary?"
“We are just ordinary people, have we done anything wrong?”
Huo Junshan laughed and said, "It's better to avoid trouble. Right now, I just want to stay home and take good care of the three of you."
"The children are asleep. You go wash up first. I'll check the fire and add some more firewood."
He watched Yun Ningyan enter the space before going to the kitchen to add firewood.
Now that he has two children, he has to get up twice a night.
You can't add that much at once, or it will get hot in the middle of the night.
If you add too little, it will get cold again.
Fortunately, there was plenty of firewood at home, and he could still sneak out of the space from time to time.
Even his mother wouldn't notice.
Yun Ningyan came out of the shower, her hair still dripping wet.
Huo Junshan looked at the two children sleeping soundly and couldn't help but kiss their little faces.
Yun Ningyan saw this scene as soon as she came out of the space.
She felt an indescribable sense of happiness.
"Aren't you going to wash up yet?"
Huo Junshan beckoned to her, gesturing for her to sit down.
"Come here, let me dry your hair."
Yun Ningyan sat down, and Huo Junshan dried her hair, but it was warm in their room and it would dry quickly.
Huo Junshan smiled and asked, "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something later?"
Yun Ningyan shook her head: "I'm not hungry, I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep."
