Chapter 48: Looking for the mole, are you deliberately provoking me?
They had been married for almost five months, and Yan Xue had always thought Qi Fang was cold and indifferent.
The most intimate time between the two of them, he also started from the cheek and gradually moved to the lips.
Even just now, although he hugged her waist under the quilt, his hands were very honest, neither touching nor rubbing randomly.
But now, right now, he got straight to the point.
When the kiss came, Yan Xue was still a little confused and didn't react at all. The next second, her lips were gently sucked.
Her eyes widened, and her hand, which was about to push the person away, grabbed the other person's clothes.
Soon, the gentle sucking turned into a rolling and rubbing motion. As if it wasn't enough, the man pinched her chin with his long fingers and said, "Open your mouth."
His warm breath lingered on her lips, and his peach blossom eyes drooped, looking at her quietly.
Yan Xue's mind was still a little fuzzy, and she did as she was told without even realizing it. Only when she felt the sudden invading tongue did she realize something was wrong.
What a shameless guy! Jigang is right next to us!
She couldn't help but hit the man's shoulder, but was caught by a big hand, and her fingers were intertwined and pressed against the pillow.
The kiss continued, even deeper.
The refreshing smell left over from washing was invaded by the heat, melting into a numbing electric current, spreading along the lips and tongue bit by bit.
Yan Xue could hear her breathing becoming noticeably heavier, her heartbeat becoming increasingly uncontrollable in her chest, and even the palms of her hands, which were being held against her by the large hands, began to sweat.
After a while, she regained the initiative and bit the tip of the man's tongue.
The other party pulled away slightly, and the next second, his hot breath brushed against his ear, "Jigang is still here."
"You also know that Jigang is still here!" Yan Xue said angrily, and this time she really couldn't help but kick him.
The man didn't care and just moved closer to her. "Don't worry about waking him up, you can move a little more."
Before Yan Xue could say anything, her earlobe was bitten lightly. "When did you start to be dissatisfied with me?"
As expected, he was looking for her to settle the score. Yan Xue was numb from the breath. "Didn't I explain it to you?"
But the man obviously didn't believe it, or perhaps he didn't want to believe it. He pressed the kiss down again, and after a while, he bit her lips again, "Tell the truth."
Yan Xue even suspected that he was born in the Year of the Dog and glared at him, "You did it on purpose!"
The man's peach blossom eyes were innocent. "You asked the doctor if I had any hidden illness."
It was a completely breathless voice, his eyes still lowered as he spoke, as if they were tangible, resting on her lips, ready to continue at any time.
The numbness from just now still lingered, and Yan Xue felt as if wherever that gaze fell on her, it felt like it was burning.
She could only pinch the man's waist and say, "Stop it." Just as she was about to push him away, her leg bumped into something that was very noticeable.
The man who was still hugging her paused for a moment. Even if he had never eaten pork, he had seen pigs run. Yan Xue also paused.
Just at this moment, Yan Jigang, who was sleeping soundly next to him, turned over.
The couple both froze, one wondering if they could see clearly in such darkness, the other trying to come up with an excuse to cover it up.
Fortunately, the young boy just smacked his lips and said, "Brother-in-law, I won't tell my sister..."
Maybe because it was just dream talking, he wasn't as nervous as when he was facing people during the day, and he spoke very fluently.
However, this also made Yan Xue look at Qi Fang again after he stopped moving. She raised her eyebrows slightly and pinched her hands again, "How many days do you plan to review this time?"
Qi Fang was silent for a moment and said, "You'll know tomorrow." What he meant was whether he could avoid reviewing himself this time.
Yan Xue laughed and pushed him away.
This time Qi Fang didn't insist. He lay back down, pulled the quilt down, and loosened the buttons on his collar.
He was sweating a little after the ordeal just now, and didn't notice Yan Xue's gaze and hand falling on his collar.
It was still hot, so Qi Fang simply stood up and poured himself a glass of boiled water, drinking it while slowly calming down.
He doesn't have any special hobbies, so how could he really do anything with Yan Xue in front of the child?
At that time, I just wanted to take advantage of Yan Xue's fear of moving to collect the debt owed to the hospital during the day, but I didn't expect that I would lose control while kissing.
Yan Xue didn't expect that just a kiss would cause such a big reaction from the man.
But judging by how excited he was, and how much he rubbed me, the doctor was right. His kidney essence must be quite sufficient...
Thinking of this, Yan Xue felt a little thirsty and stretched out her hand outside the kang, "Give me some to drink too."
The arms were so white and slender in the night that they were dazzling, and Qi Fang's gaze immediately fell on them.
But he quickly moved away, rolled his Adam's apple and swallowed a mouthful of water, walked forward, and handed the enamel pot to Yan Xue's mouth.
Yan Xue took a few sips as he did so, and with a push, he closed the lid of the enamel pot and put it back.
This time when he lay down, the heat finally subsided. Just as Qi Fang was about to close his eyes, Yan Xue stretched out her hand.
The little hand had a clear target. It immediately grabbed his shirt and unbuttoned the collar...
Qi Fang immediately grabbed his collar and said, "Jigang is still here."
This chaste and virtuous man looked as if the person she had just kissed was not him. Yan Xue was speechless.
When Yan Xue didn't say anything, the man hugged her and put his lips to her ear, "Wait until Jigang leaves."
The voice was low and soft, with a hint of seductive hoarseness.
This time Yan Xue really couldn't help but roll her eyes, "What are you thinking about? I want to see if there really is a mole on your collarbone."
He already kissed her, so there's nothing wrong with letting her see him, right?
The man paused for a long moment before letting go of her and unbuttoning a button himself. "Yes, there is one."
Yan Xue immediately turned over and came over to look at it with great interest, "Then I was not mistaken."
Two small hands pulled open Qi Fang's collar, looking like a female hooligan ready to force herself on him.
Qi Fang was pinned down by her and found this scene very strange. The room was too dark, so she couldn't help but move closer to look for it. "Where is it?"
The breath made his body tense up. After a moment of silence, he pointed to a spot on the left and said, "This should be it."
Still unable to see clearly, Yan Xue could only vaguely see the man's cold white skin and a very obvious shadow on his collarbone.
Just as she was about to move closer, the man grabbed her with his arms and let her fall into his arms. "Are you deliberately provoking me?"
His voice had lost its usual coldness, and his arms were so tight that they seemed to be strangling the waist.
In the end, Yan Xue failed to find the mole, but the next day, she did learn the other half of the secret between Qi Fang and Yan Jigang.
Qi Fang went to the small repair shop and spent a day making a small hand/wooden warehouse for Yan Jigang.
Apart from the fact that the iron sheet is a little thin and bullets cannot be loaded inside, even the safety catch can be opened and closed just like a real wooden magazine.
Yan Jigang held it in his arms, looked at it over and over again, touched it again and again, and smiled like a little fool.
"You sold your sister just for this?" Yan Xue stood beside her, holding a bowl of medicine. "Come here and drink the medicine first."
Yan Jigang's face immediately fell, but he still put down his gun, walked over and drank it obediently.
Yan Xue stuffed a piece of candy into his mouth, then took another bowl and went to find Qi Fang, "Da Lang, take your medicine."
Qi Fang obviously didn't know this joke, he just frowned at her and said, "I'm second in the family."
"It's okay. You're the boss in our family." Yan Xue handed him the medicine with a smile, "Drink it."
The smell of the medicinal soup wafted over with her movements, and Qi Fang's brows furrowed even deeper when he saw it.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Yan Xue asked, "What's wrong? Are you afraid of taking medicine like Ji Gang?"
"No." Qi Fang still took it, tilted his head back, and drank it in one gulp.
After drinking, he handed the bowl back to Yan Xue, then drank half a jar of water, and then drank another half jar of water...
Yan Xue found it funny to see him chugging water with an expressionless face. "You said you weren't afraid of taking medicine. If someone didn't know you, they would think you didn't eat enough at night."
This made the man's peach blossom eyes move, and they fell quietly on her, "Indeed."
The meaning of his words was unclear, and I couldn't tell whether he was saying that he was really afraid of taking medicine or that he really wasn't full.
Yan Xue thought that he was really afraid of taking medicine. After all, he ate a lot of food that night. She was afraid that he would feel bloated if he drank a stomach full of medicine and water.
Just as he was about to pass the bowl down, the man suddenly leaned over.
Before Yan Xue could react, someone pecked her lips quickly, and she was so scared that she quickly looked out the door.
"It's okay, grandma is across the street, and Jigang is in the yard." Qi Fang's voice was calm, obviously he had observed this before.
Seeing Yan Xue glaring at him, he looked at Yan Xue and asked, "Is it bitter?"
How could he taste the bitterness after drinking so much water? But this man is really brave now...
Yan Xue glanced at his collar and was considering whether to take another look during the day when someone called her outside: "Sister Yan Xue, I'm here to play with your brother~" It was Liu Weibin, the youngest son of the Liu family. He frowned when he entered the room, "What a strong smell of Chinese medicine."
Yan Xue temporarily gave up the idea and went out to wash the dishes. She also asked Liu Weibin: "Where are Chuncai and Chunni?"
Liu Weibin's eyes were already attracted by the little hand/wooden cang, "My eldest sister is not on holiday at school, and my second sister is doing homework at home."
The forest farm only had an elementary school, so students had to go to Chengshui Town to attend middle school. Because the distance was long and transportation was inconvenient, they all lived on campus and only came back one day a week.
Yan Xue hadn't seen Liu Chuncai for a while. "When are you guys going to have your holiday?"
"It'll be released on the 8th of next month." Extremely curious, Liu Weibin approached Yan Jigang and asked, "Who made this hand/wooden cang on yours? It's so similar!"
Although he has the real stuff at home, he is young and his family won't let him touch it.
Yan Jigang immediately became nervous when someone suddenly got so close to him. However, looking at his sister standing right beside him, he tried to remain calm and said, "I...my brother-in-law."
He spoke slowly, but Liu Weibin had heard of this younger brother before he came. He was sure it was his younger brother. He was a little shy, and their dialect was different from here, but he didn't think there was anything wrong. "Your brother-in-law is really amazing. I saw that other people in the forest farm carved wood, and none of them looked as good as you."
Hearing him praise his brother-in-law, Yan Jigang was even happier than when he was praised himself. His eyes curved, and he said, "Thank you."
He said these two words fluently. After all, they were short, and he was very happy now.
"Can I play with it for a bit?" Liu Weibin had just asked when Yan Jigang generously handed it over. "Here."
Soon Yan Xue heard Liu Weibin's new sigh, "Your brother-in-law is really amazing. I want a brother-in-law too."
She couldn't help laughing, "How old are your two sisters and you already want a brother-in-law."
This child has a strange way of thinking. When other people see good things, they cry and make a fuss to ask for them, but he just wants his brother-in-law.
Liu Weibin chuckled at what she said and asked Yan Jigang, "Do you have anything else fun?"
Yan Jigang nodded and immediately took him to his and his grandmother's room, then took out his pencil case, calligraphy book, and math book...
Liu Weibin's face, full of anticipation, froze in an instant. "That's all?"
Yan Jigang shook his head, but didn't know what to say, so he wrote in his notebook amid Liu Weibin's renewed anticipation, "I also have a new dictionary, which my sister bought for me."
Liu Weibin looked at it, and then looked at it again. Finally, he opened his innocent eyes and asked, "What did you write?"
Yan Jigang was completely stupefied by the question. Wasn't he already in school? He would be in second grade in the fall...
Perhaps human joys and sorrows are not shared. Yan Jigang cherishes the opportunity to study because he cannot go to school, but Liu Weibin wishes he could have holidays every day like him.
Human nature of gossip is quite similar. The next day, when Yan Xue went to the family team to report and prepare to start the second round of young forest cultivation, she heard people talking about Captain Lin not coming to work today.
Although the team leaders are all part-time, and Captain Lin was transferred to the family team due to health reasons, he would take sick leave from time to time, but he would generally not be absent for three days before the start of a mission.
Not only did he not come, Cheng Yuzhen didn't come either. She hadn't appeared in public for quite a while. The last time Yan Xue heard from her was about the borrowed sperm incident.
The work was hard, so everyone was just chatting to pass the time, and for a while, they were all talking about this in groups of three or five. Yan Xue just listened and didn't participate.
When they sat down to eat at noon, Lang Yue'e took advantage of no one's attention and lowered her voice to say to Yan Xue, "This matter has something to do with you. I just told you, you just know it yourself. Captain Lin is planning to divorce."
Yan Xue was a little surprised, but not that surprised.
Regardless of whether the story of borrowing sperm was true or not, when it was spread at that time, it was very likely an attempt to shift the blame.
Cheng Yuzhen was so disgusted with Yu Cuiyun that she even took away her place in the family team and framed Yu Cuiyun. It didn't seem like she and Liang Qimao were just in a relationship of borrowing sperm.
Captain Lin seemed to be very tolerant of Cheng Yuzhen, as if Cheng Yuzhen would listen to anything if coaxed, but in fact he was not stupid. When Yan Xue went up the mountain to make trouble, he understood all the hints and responded quickly. Later, he chose to avoid suspicion and stayed out of the matter of the regularization quota.
Now Cheng Yuzhen was caught cheating on him and put the blame on him. If he does nothing, people will suspect that Cheng Yuzhen has some big evidence against him.
After all, they both cheated on their partners, but Liang Qimao at least apologized and tried to mend his ways, while Cheng Yuzhen only wanted to pass the buck.
Sure enough, although Yu Cuiyun quarreled fiercely, it was all talk and no action, and in the end it was nothing; Captain Lin remained silent throughout, and instead took the first step to divorce.
Later, Yan Xue learned that Captain Lin did not come to work that day because his father-in-law had come, probably to persuade him and Cheng Yuzhen not to divorce.
But the Lin family didn't have a child as an excuse, so Cheng Yuzhen eventually left, saying she was going back to her parents' home. There were rumors about whether her mother or her brother was ill. Captain Lin later came to work, but he didn't reveal a single word, and from the outside, it didn't look like he had just been through a divorce.
Lang Yue'e probably knew this because the marriage certificates at the forest farm were all issued by the unit, and divorces had to be done at the unit, so there was no way to get around Secretary Lang.
"Sometimes I think it might be a good thing that I lost the child. Otherwise, it would be very difficult to get a divorce, and Kang Peisheng might even beat the child." Later, Lang Yue'e said to Yan Xue with emotion, "There's a family behind his house. The man is a soldier, and the woman cheated on him and gave birth to a son, but they didn't get a divorce."
"Isn't it illegal to destroy a military marriage?" Yan Xue was a little surprised.
"It's illegal. The man whose wife cheated on him was sentenced to one and a half years. But his father-in-law came to his house to persuade him to keep his wife for the sake of the children and not to divorce. From now on, when he's not home, his father-in-law will take care of all the family affairs."
"So it's better to have fewer children." Yan Xue once again felt the importance of family planning.
If there weren't so many children, who would be so happy to be a father and be willing to live with that?
As soon as she mentioned the child, Lang Yue'e reminded her of her child, "You should also be careful. Don't come to the family team to work without knowing you're pregnant. If something happens, you won't even have time to cry."
Yan Xue is not afraid of this. The safest contraceptive method in the world is to do nothing.
Although Qi Fang now has subjective initiative and no longer has to be wrapped tightly when sleeping like at the beginning, their hardware conditions do not allow it.
But she still had to thank him. After all, it was a genuine concern. Yan Xue looked up at the sky and asked, "Why do I feel like the rain is getting heavier?"
As July arrived, precipitation in the forest area increased significantly, especially thunderstorms. It started one afternoon, and continued for three consecutive afternoons. Therefore, rain gear is often required when going up the mountain to cultivate young trees. This morning, the weather was a bit bad when they left, and unexpectedly, the rain got even heavier.
Lang Yue'e's vision was also obscured by the rain. She stopped what she was doing after hearing this. "It's not small. I don't think they're going to stop yet."
Thunderstorms are annoying, but they usually don’t last long. Once the clouds pass, the sky will clear up. But the sky before me is so dark that it seems to have no end.
Sure enough, not long after, Captain Lin came over to inform us, "Everyone hurry up and finish this ridge and call it a day. We'll see how things go tomorrow."
The saplings for the afforestation were planted in large, wide, long ridges, each one taking half a day to work. Meanwhile, the family team members, scattered in groups of three or four, were scattered among the long ridges. Upon hearing this, they hurriedly sped up their pace, finishing their work in less than half an hour and grabbing their tools to call it a day.
Captain Lin also came over to check. After all, there are indicators for young forest cultivation. If the pass rate does not exceed 90%, their wages will be deducted.
But the rain did not stop until the next day. It stopped for about half an afternoon, and started raining again at night, and it was showing a tendency to get heavier.
The group had no choice but to go up the mountain. After all, unlike old trees, young trees have extensive and deep root systems that can hold onto the soil. If it rains too hard and starts to wash away the surface soil, it is easy for the roots to be exposed, or even uprooted, so timely soiling is necessary.
A group of people were working in the rain wearing raincoats. When they went down the mountain, they were all wet. It was not known whether it was the rain that seeped in or the sweat that came out.
Looking at the water that had clearly formed a stream beneath her feet, Yan Xue couldn't help but frown and said to Lang Yue'e, "Sister Yue'e, go back and remind Secretary Lang to see if they can move the machinery in the field to higher ground. It keeps raining like this, and I'm worried the land won't be able to handle it, and there will be flash floods."
This is not alarmist. The forest farm started afforestation only in recent years. Before that, logging was carried out regardless of winter or summer. The nearby hills are full of young trees that are only a few years old.
It's okay when there's little rainfall, but when there's a lot of rainfall, the small trees simply can't lock in moisture and soil, and flash floods or mudslides are very likely to occur.
Lang Yue'e also knew this. She was about to nod with a serious look when she heard a laugh from the side. "Some people really love to worry. An outsider knows more than the locals."
She is Li Shuwu’s wife.
This guy has a really bad mouth. He was beaten by Jin Baozhi once before, but he didn't learn his lesson for a few days and started gossiping again.
Yan Xue was too lazy to pay attention to her. "Then don't believe it. After all, floods won't affect experienced local families like you."
Lang Yue'e also glanced at the other party and said, "Xiao Yan, this is good intention." When they returned, the second old lady had already prepared the meal and boiled ginger soup for Yan Xue and Qi Fang who had worked outside in the rain all day.
The two changed their wet clothes, drank ginger soup, and ate, and they finally warmed up. However, the rain outside did not stop, and there was even thunder.
When the first lightning flashed across the sky, Yan Jigang threw himself into his sister's arms and hugged her waist tightly.
Yan Xue covered his ears and was about to say something when the second lightning followed, followed by a loud thunder.
All her sounds were drowned out by the thunder. After a while, she realized that someone was also covering her ears. It was Qi Fang.
The second old lady had experienced a lot. "Why does it look like a millstone mine to me?"
Millstone thunder refers to thunderclouds that are too thick and keep spinning in place, unable to disperse. It is not like ordinary thunder that will gradually move away after a few sounds.
This kind of thunder is usually accompanied by heavy rain, and the precipitation is extremely high in a short period of time. Yan Xue turned back and looked at Qi Fang.
Qi Fang made a prompt decision, "To be prepared, let's find the important things in the house first."
Yan Xue also handed Yan Jigang over to the second old lady and began to pack up.
Money, tickets, household registration... were all put into the small box that Qi Fang kept. As for the remaining items that were difficult to take away, he found a way to put them in a high place in the house.
Just as we finished cleaning up, the rain began to flood into the house. At the same time, someone came and knocked on the door. "It's raining too hard. Secretary Lang is afraid of a flood, so he asked everyone to go to the open space on the back mountain."
Seeing that they understood, the other party turned and ran, "Hurry up, the radio is useless, I have to go to the next store."
Yan Xue and Qi Fang didn't waste a second. They put on the thick clothes they had prepared in advance. Qi Fang carried the old lady on his back, and Yan Xue carried Yan Jigang on her back, and they rushed into the rain.
When I really ran out, I found that the sky seemed to have a hole in it, and the rain hitting my body even caused a faint pain.
Qi Fang calmly led the way, "This way." He always kept a distance of three or four meters from Yan Xue, so that if anything happened to Yan Xue, he could turn around immediately.
Perhaps they were well prepared and could leave immediately after receiving the notice, and they were the first group to arrive at the back mountain.
Brother Lang Yue'e was leading some people to build a temporary shelter in the open space to protect them from the rain. He was a little surprised to see them. "So soon?"
"We're ready early." Yan Xue put Yan Jigang into the first shed they had just built. "Listen to grandma and brother-in-law here. I have something to do and will be back soon."
As soon as I ran out, I found that Qi Fang had also put the second old lady into the shed and rushed back into the rain.
Seeing her, the man even said in a low voice: "You go back, I'll go to the bacteria breeding area."
"It's not a strain." Yan Xue walked without stopping. "Sister Baozhi didn't come to work today. I'm afraid the couple is not home at all."
