Qin Qingman doesn't think she is that good, but she will give her heart to others.
The couple hugged each other and talked quietly for a while before falling asleep. Wei Ling would leave tomorrow, and the couple slept peacefully and tenderly for the first time without any passion.
The next day, Wei Ling opened his eyes before dawn.
He first listened to the noises in the room, and could tell that Qin Qingman and Chuchu were still in deep sleep, especially Chuchu, who had been "tortured" yesterday and had been groaning in pain in her sleep all night.
I am so exhausted both physically and mentally that it may be impossible for me to wake up according to my biological clock today.
Wei Ling leaned over to kiss Qin Qingman's smooth forehead, then slowly got up. He did not open the window curtain to see what was happening outside, because he knew it was still windy just by hearing.
Even the white-haired wind.
The stoves in the house and the living room were still burning. Wei Ling added firewood and coal to both and even lit a fire on the kang. He knew that this kind of weather was more suitable for sleeping. Without him, his wife and brother-in-law would probably sleep for two or three hours before waking up.
After cleaning up, it was just getting light outside, and Wei Ling went back to the west room to take a look.
Finally, he touched his wife's smooth face before wrapping himself up tightly and going out.
As the door to the hall opened, a gust of cold wind rushed in, instantly taking away most of the temperature in the room.
Wei Ling quickly closed the door.
As soon as the door was closed, he felt the wind become even stronger.
Without any hesitation, Wei Ling bent down and walked towards the division headquarters. It was even more difficult to walk upright in this kind of weather, so the only way to reduce the area of force was to do so.
The wind was strong, and Wei Ling moved forward very slowly, one step at a time.
Fortunately, he was armed, otherwise he would have been blown away by the wind if his position was not stable.
A sturdy stick became a guarantee for Wei Ling to stabilize his body, and slowly, his figure disappeared in the wind and snow.
What Wei Ling didn't know was that Qin Qingman woke up as soon as he left the house.
Qin Qingman was awakened by the cold wind that blew into the house. The moment she woke up, she knew without touching the blanket beside her that Wei Ling had left and returned to the division headquarters.
At that moment, Qin Qingman's mind was blank. She was reluctant to leave Wei Ling, but also didn't want to disturb Wei Ling. She lay on the bed without moving. After a few minutes, she suddenly threw off the quilt, crawled to the window and opened the curtain.
In the white wind, Wei Ling's figure was hazy but firm.
Several minutes had passed since Wei Ling opened the door and went out, but at this time Wei Ling had just walked out of the yard, and it was obvious how great the resistance of the white wind outside was.
Qin Qingman looked at Wei Ling's back quietly without saying a word, just watching quietly.
When Wei Ling finally disappeared in the snowstorm, tears welled up in her eyes.
Soldiers, no matter in what era, are the guardians who carry the burden for the people. They use their bodies to build the most solid border for the people of the world and leave everyone a stable rear.
After watching Wei Ling leave, Qin Qingman slowly lowered the curtains.
Once the curtains were drawn, there was no other light in the room except for the dark red belly of the steel stove.
The curtains and lintels in the house had been repaired before and they block out a lot of light.
The light is blocked out so much that if I don't look at my watch, I won't know what time it is when I wake up.
Lying on the kang, Qin Qingman did not fall asleep again. She just lay there quietly. Her mind flashed through scenes of her past and present lives. There were many people whose memories had begun to become blurred, and there were also many people whose faces became clearer and clearer in her mind.
Finally, it freezes on a handsome face.
It's Wei Ling.
At this moment, Qin Qingman knew that she completely fell in love with Wei Ling.
Chuchu woke up two hours after Qin Qingman woke up. As soon as he woke up, the child screamed. He originally thought that yesterday was the most painful, but only then did he understand what it meant to settle a score later.
My body has been tortured to the extreme, and today it really showed its power.
My whole body aches.
My muscles were sore and swollen that I couldn't even lift my arms.
"Awake?" Qin Qingman, who had been lying motionless, turned sideways and looked over when she heard Chuchu's movement. She didn't need to look at the child's expression, just by listening to the child's screams, she knew how much pain the child was in.
"Sister, is it still dark?"
As soon as Chu Chu heard Qin Qingman's voice, she subconsciously stopped screaming and asked cautiously.
The curtains were so good at blocking out light that he didn't even notice daybreak.
He even thought Wei Ling was still asleep.
"It's already daybreak, get up quickly. If you don't get up, it will be almost noon." Qin Qingman got up and put on her clothes, then gently opened part of the curtains, and the light from outside immediately illuminated the west room.
There was a strong white-haired wind blowing all over the sky in the morning, but now not only did the wind stop, the sun even came out.
The azure sky does not have a single white cloud; it is completely blue and beautiful.
There was ice everywhere around.
Long and short, these icicles showed their beauty from every angle in different forms, covering the entire earth with crystal clear ice flowers. The trees bloomed, the walls bloomed, the grass bloomed, and even some of the river surfaces that had not yet frozen began to bloom.
These ice flowers have countless edges and corners, some look like chrysanthemums, some look like lotus, roses...
All the flowers that one can think of are blooming in this world.
"So... so beautiful!" Chu Chu, who had just climbed up, stared at the world outside the window with her eyes wide open.
The white wind blows every year, but you may not be able to see such a beautiful world of ice and snow every year.
In particular, the three ice lanterns hanging under the eaves were not blown to pieces by the cold wind. Instead, the white wind caused countless clusters of ice flowers to bloom on the ice lanterns.
The little fat snake lamp in Chuchu's eyes showed its cute head among a cluster of ice flowers, which was both beautiful and full of spirituality.
"It's really beautiful, but it's a pity that I don't have a camera (personal cameras are very rare and precious in this era), otherwise I could have captured this beautiful scene." Qin Qingman was also stunned by the beauty of the world. This was the first time she had seen such a beautiful world of ice and snow in real life.
"Hey, sister, where is my brother-in-law?"
Chu Chu, who was curled up dejectedly, suddenly realized that there seemed to be someone missing in the room. She asked Qin Qingman while turning her head to look around.
"A Ling has returned to the division headquarters." Qin Qingman did not intend to tell the child that there was a white wind blowing when Wei Ling returned to the division headquarters. It was enough for one person to worry, there was no need to make two people worry.
"When did my brother-in-law leave? Why didn't he tell me?"
The child was dumbfounded. He was looking forward to learning how to fight from Wei Ling, but how come his brother-in-law went back to the division headquarters before he even learned it? What should he do?
"What can I tell you? You sleep like a pig. I guess you wouldn't even know if you were sold." Qin Qingman teased the child deliberately.
Chu Chu was anxious, "Impossible, how could I be sold without knowing it?"
"Yeah, I just didn't wake you up." Looking at the dumbfounded child, Qin Qingman held the child in her arms with heartache and gently massaged the child's muscles. She knew that the soreness was caused by the accumulation of lactic acid, and it would be fine as long as it was massaged slowly.
"Sister, it hurts, it hurts--"
When Chu Chu saw that Wei Ling was not there, she immediately stopped pretending to be strong and looked at Qin Qingman with red eyes and a miserable expression.
"Give up?"
Qin Qingman kneaded the child's muscles while looking at the child calmly.
"No...I won't give up." Although Chu Chu felt extremely uncomfortable from being rubbed, she finally kept her word.
"Then you have to get used to this kind of exercise. The pain you feel now is because it's your first time exercising. Once it becomes a habit, you won't feel pain anymore." Qin Qingman soothed Chuchu, who was crying.
"Really?" Chu Chu looked at Qin Qingman with doubt.
"I am your sister." Qin Qingman said this to the end.
"Yes, sister, I believe you." After being rubbed by Qin Qingman, Chu Chu crawled away from Qin Qingman with difficulty. At this moment, he felt that his sister was not so reliable, because his body seemed to be more painful, his limbs were shaking, and he couldn't stand at all.
"It's normal for it to hurt. It will go away after a while."
Qin Qingman smiled secretly at Chuchu's little movements, then got off the kang to wash up.
It's rare that I can sleep till this late. I should get up and clean up and prepare food.
"Sister, I... I'll lie down for a while and then get up to exercise." Chu Chu still remembered the task Wei Ling assigned to him yesterday, but he couldn't move at this moment and had to ask Qin Qingman for instructions.
With his brother-in-law away, he had to complete the task on his own, with his sister supervising him.
Qin Qingman was really amazed by the sensible Chuchu. She thought that the child would feel uncomfortable and lie on the kang when Wei Ling was not around, but she didn't expect that even when Wei Ling was not around, the child would still abide by the agreement.
"Okay, lie down for a while, I'll go get you some honey water."
Qin Qingman knew that the child liked sweets, so she touched the child's head before turning around.
The steel stove in the room was always burning, so it wasn't cold.
The window was slightly open, so the child could lie on the kang alone without worrying about carbon dioxide poisoning.
"Yeah, thank you, sister."
Chu Chu, who was feeling uncomfortable, immediately felt full of strength when she heard that she could drink sweet honey water. Her eyes brightened several degrees when she looked at Qin Qingman's back.
Qin Qingman smiled before leaving the west room.
She washed and dressed herself before returning to the west room with the prepared honey water.
"Sister, no...it doesn't hurt that much!"
At this time, Chuchu was leaning against the kang, pinching his arms and legs with his little paws. At this moment, he seemed to really feel the pain in his body, which was not as painful as when he just woke up.
"See, I didn't lie to you." Qin Qingman handed over the honey water in her hand.
"Hehehe——" Chu Chu giggled, then quickly took the honey water and drank it. He had been thirsty after lying on the warm kang for so long. If he hadn't been feeling so uncomfortable, he would have gotten up and drank the water.
"Get up, I'll cook."
Qin Qingman took the enamel pot that Chuchu had left over and went out of the west room.
"Sister, I understand."
Chuchu answered and got out of bed quickly. Although he could still feel uncomfortable at this time, his swollen belly reminded him to urinate quickly, otherwise he would draw a map like last time.
Wei Ling returned to the division headquarters, and if he did anything bad again, no one would help him.
The temperature outside was very low. Chuchu did not plan to go to the toilet. Instead, she took out a covered earthenware jar from the corner, opened the lid and started to pee.
His family didn't buy a special spittoon, but a sturdy earthenware jar worked very well.
After a few words, Chuchu officially got up.
After washing up, he wrapped himself tightly and then took the earthenware jar to the toilet to relieve himself.
After pouring the liquid and cleaning the earthenware jar, Chuchu returned to the hall.
Putting the earthen jar back far away, Chuchu washed her hands, took off her cotton-padded clothes, stretched her limbs and prepared to squat.
This is the task assigned to him by his brother-in-law Wei Ling.
"Chu Chu, go to the west room to practice. I'm going to cook in a while. Don't let the oil splash on your clothes." Qin Qingman, who was cooking corn porridge, reminded the child while stirring the porridge with a bamboo stick.
"Okay, I'll go to the west room."
Chuchu glanced at Qin Qingman and went back to the west room.
The west room was warmer than the living room because of the coal-burning steel stove.
Back in the west room, Chuchu took off her sweater, twisted her arms and legs slowly for a while, and then stood not far from the stove and did a horse stance.
As soon as the child squatted down according to the standard posture, he fell on his butt.
Your limbs will ache and you will definitely have no strength. Moreover, those who have done horse stance know how uncomfortable it is at the beginning. Very few people can last for three minutes for the first time.
Some people can't even last a minute.
The child who fell only stayed on the ground for a dozen seconds before getting up again, doing horse stance, and then falling down again.
Fall down again and again, get up again and again.
By the time she fell for the last time, Chuchu was able to hold on to the horse stance for more than ten seconds.
"Chu Chu, it's okay." Qin Qingman, who had just finished cooking, stood at the door and spoke when she saw Chu Chu fall for the last time.
Chu Chu, who was already doing the horse stance, seemed not to have heard Qin Qingman's words. He slowly got up and planned to do the horse stance again.
At this time, the child's face was flushed and he was sweating all over.
"Qin Yunchu." Qin Qingman saw that the child was not in a good state, so she called out his full name while walking towards him.
"arrive."
Perhaps the child remembered Wei Ling's words yesterday. When he heard someone calling his full name, he responded loudly and instinctively. His eyes gradually focused on Qin Qingman and he recognized her. "Sister."
"Yeah." Qin Qingman picked up the almost exhausted Chu Chu and said softly, "We have practiced till now, that's enough for today."
"Enough?" Chu Chu didn't know how long he had been practicing. He didn't have the concept of accurately calculating time.
"Yes, that's enough. You are still young and this is your first time practicing. Ten minutes is enough. As the saying goes, more haste makes waste. We have to take it slow." Qin Qingman gently wiped the sweat from the child's forehead and face with her fingertips.
Although Chu Chu didn't understand what "more haste makes waste" meant, he knew that he could take a rest. His body softened and his head rested on Qin Qingman's shoulder. At this moment, he once again felt that his body was no longer his own.
Qin Qingman wiped the child's sweat carefully with a towel, and when Chuchu stopped sweating, she put the child on the kang.
The kang in her house has been burning all day today.
"Sister, I'm hungry." As soon as Chuchu lay on the kang, she felt hungry, and her whole stomach was burning with hunger.
"Drink some water to replenish your body's moisture first. I'll get you a wet towel to wipe the sweat off your body. Change into dry clothes and we'll have dinner." As she spoke, Qin Qingman had already brought Chuchu some honey water.
Chu Chu, who had sweated a lot, was thirsty, so he gulped down half a jar of water.
I burped after drinking it.
"Lie back down, I'll wrap the towel for you, quickly." Qin Qingman instructed Chuchu.
"Sister, I can't lift my arms. How am I going to eat later?" When the child found it difficult to lift his arms, he immediately asked Qin Qingman for help, his big eyes filled with desire.
"I'll feed you." Qin Qingman cooked corn paste and fried a plate of dumplings. The dumplings were filled with meat and could be served as a dish or a staple food. She also fried some bean sprouts, which were all children's favorites.
"Yeah." Chu Chu felt relieved when she heard that Qin Qingman would feed her.
Qin Qingman moved quickly. No matter which kettle had hot water in it, she quickly wiped the child's whole body before changing the child into clean underwear.
The dry clean lining happened to be goose yellow.
Chuchu felt very guilty when she was putting on her underwear and didn't even dare to look at Qin Qingman.
Seeing that the child was so cautious, Qin Qingman did not tease the child, but set up a small table on the kang.
Every household in Northeast China has a low table, and they eat on the kang in winter.
After the covers were folded up, the mats woven from wheat stalks were spread on the kang. Even if some food fell on it, it could be cleaned up by just wiping it.
"Eat the fried dumplings first, they're still mushy."
Qin Qingman asked Chuchu in her arms, who was leaning in her arms at this time.
"Dumplings, sister, eat dumplings first."
Chu Chu looked at the sizzling fried dumplings on the small table and started eating excitedly.
"Okay, let's eat the fried dumplings first." Qin Qingman picked up a fried dumpling for the child and blew on it to cool it before feeding it to the child.
These dumplings are specially made to fit children's mouths. Children can eat one in one bite.
"Hmm." Chuchu had food in her mouth but was still thinking about Qin Qingman. She touched Qin Qingman's arm while chewing, which meant that Qin Qingman could eat too.
"You eat first, I'm not hungry yet."
Qin Qingman thought it was troublesome to change chopsticks, so she planned to feed Chuchu first before eating.
Chuchu felt sorry for her sister. She struggled to reach out her trembling little hand to the small bowl on the table, which contained her corn porridge.
"Be careful not to drop the bowl."
Qin Qingman reminded Chuchu not to waste food.
Chuchu's little hands froze in the air, and even the chewing in her mouth stopped.
"I'm really not hungry yet. You eat first, and I'll eat after you finish." Qin Qingman knew that the child felt sorry for her and was worried that she would be hungry, so she had to explain again, "The food at home has been good recently, and we eat meat every day, so it's not easy to get hungry anymore."
Chu Chu was a little bit unconvinced as to why he was so hungry today.
Qin Qingman saw the child's expression and smiled, "You are hungry for two reasons. I am an adult, but you are still growing, so you need to supplement your food. The second reason is that you just exercised, and exercise consumes a lot of energy in your body. Once the energy is depleted, you will feel hungry."
"Really?"
Chuchu finally chewed the food in her mouth and swallowed it before asking.
"Of course, look at A Ling, he is neither fat nor strong, but look at how much he and Comrade Du eat?" Qin Qingman guided the children to think.
The scene of Wei Ling, Du Hongyi and others having dinner flashed through Chuchu's mind.
Then he nodded seriously, "Brother-in-law and his family can eat a lot of food."
"They can eat so much because they usually do a lot of exercise, which is countless times more than what you did today."
"Sister, I understand."
Chuchu understood what Qin Qingman meant.
"Well, eat well. I'll eat after you finish." Qin Qingman saw that the child was relieved and continued to feed the child.
"Sister, you are so nice."
Chuchu's delicate little paws rested lightly on Qin Qingman's arm, with a look of satisfaction on her face.
"You are my brother. If I don't treat you well, who else should I treat well?" Qin Qingman knew that the child was still young and could not teach him some advanced theories. It was just right the way it was now.
"Sister, when I grow up, I will definitely be filial to you and your husband."
Chuchu and Qin Qingman are fifteen years apart in age, so they can be considered two generations apart in terms of age.
Qin Qingman did not laugh at the child, but replied with a smile: "Okay, A Ling and I will wait for you to be filial."
"Yeah, I will grow up quickly." Chu Chu ate her meal in big mouthfuls.
After Qin Qingman fed Chuchu, more than ten minutes had passed. The temperature in the room was high, and the food on the table was not cold, but she still put the food on the round plate on the steel stove to let the temperature of the round plate heat the food a second time.
After the meal, the child immediately regained his energy.
Although I am not yet fully alive and kicking, I have no problem taking care of myself.
Lying on the kang, Chuchu watched Qin Qingman eat while talking to her sister, just talking about whatever was on her mind.
"By the way, sister, tomorrow is uncle's birthday, should we go?"
Chuchu suddenly recalled this important thing.
Qin Qingman's hand that was picking up food paused slightly. In her memory, after her parents passed away, her aunt coaxed the original owner to give the work quota to her cousin. After that, her uncle's family never came to visit again, not even on her parents' death anniversary.
So, what a bullshit to celebrate my uncle’s birthday.
"Sister, I remember that my cousin seemed to have been transferred to the Red Flag Farm. I heard that he was doing well." No one knew where Chuchu got the news from, but she was very well-informed.
Qin Qingman's face turned cold. She was not the original owner. How could these people not pay a price for sucking her blood?
Tomorrow, she will go to Hongqi Farm to find her 'cousin'.
