Speaking of which, Wei Ling's heart was filled with sweetness at this moment.
The stomping of Qin Qingman's foot on him seemed to have a loud noise, but in fact it was just thunder and lightning with little raindrops, and when it finally landed on his feet, it had only a little force.
A stomping force of just one point won't hurt anyone.
Wei Ling also saw clearly how much Qin Qingman loved and cared about him. If she didn't care, she wouldn't care whether he was in pain or not.
He touched his steadily beating heart and walked out of the west room.
"Brother-in-law, come quickly, let's go to the yard and make a snowman, a big snowman." Chuchu's cheerful voice rang not far away. In the winter, apart from preparing two meals a day, with no livestock to take care of and land to reclaim, the only thing they could do was to pass the time.
Making a snowman is the favorite game for children in every household on snowy days.
Chuchu is no exception.
It was just that there was not enough firewood at home, and the siblings were afraid of the cold, so they didn't have time to play.
Now that there is an extra guard at home, Qin Qingman, after measuring Chuchu's clothes, looked at the thick snow outside the window and suddenly had the idea of making a snowman.
In her previous life, it rarely snowed in the capital, and even if it did, it would melt away within a few hours of covering the ground. To be honest, she hadn't made a snowman in many years, and hadn't had fun on ice and snow for a long time.
Qin Qingman wanted to play and couldn't calm down.
When Chu Chu heard Qin Qingman's suggestion to build a snowman, she raised her hands and feet in approval.
The brother and sister together were still short of a worker, so Wei Ling was put to work.
Wei Ling was never afraid of working, he was only afraid that there was no work he could do at home. Hearing Chu Chu calling her and looking at the longing in Qin Qingman's eyes, he took Qin Qingman's cotton coat from the hanger.
"Put it on. It's cold outside." Wei Ling carefully helped Qin Qingman button up her clothes, and took the scarf handed to her by Chuchu and put it on Qin Qingman.
The scarf around Qin Qingman's neck was the one she had cut off when she encountered the wild boar.
After returning, she untied the wool and re-crocheted it, and a damaged scarf was transformed into something usable again.
"You should wear more clothes too."
Qin Qingman looked at Wei Ling's sweater and worried about him.
Although it didn't snow outside today, it was quite cold and she was worried that Wei Ling would catch a cold.
"good."
Wei Ling wasn't actually cold at all, but after listening to Qin Qingman's instructions, he put on his cotton coat. As for Chu Chu, she had already dressed properly, wearing a cotton coat, hat, scarf, gloves, and even earmuffs.
He does this to prevent accidental snowball fights.
A few minutes later, the family of three, dressed warmly, stood in their yard.
Each person has a shovel.
The iron sledgehammers were of adult size, and Chuchu was too small to lift them, so he could only drag them on the ground. However, he was very active and did not let Qin Qingman and Wei Ling help him at all.
"Where is it?" Wei Ling asked Qin Qingman for advice while looking around the Qin family yard.
On the east side are the kitchen and the well, on the west side are the toilet and the utility room, and the empty space is in the middle of the yard.
"Just pile it under the window of the east room."
Qin Qingman looked around and chose a place to build a snowman.
Wei Ling is back today. He will definitely sleep on the kang in the east room with Chu Chu at night. The snowman will be piled outside the window of the east room. The child can see it before going to bed or when he wakes up in the morning, and it can also satisfy Chu Chu's desire for the snowman.
"I'll go first!"
Chu Chu excitedly dragged the shovel, which was much taller than him, to the window of the east room. He used the shovel to shovel the first shovel of snow in half a day. Although the amount was very small, it was of extraordinary significance. Putting down the shovel, Chu Chu, who was exhausted and gasping for breath, looked at Wei Ling with bright eyes.
Wei Ling suddenly felt a great pressure on his shoulders, so he picked up the shovel and started shoveling the snow.
Qin Qingman happily followed to help.
She was not very strong in this body, and after she shoveled a few pieces of snow, Wei Ling had already shoveled a large pile, and the snowman had taken shape.
"Sister, let's make a snowman."
Chu Chu was very satisfied with Wei Ling's efficiency. She threw down the shovel and called Qin Qingman.
Qin Qingman saw that she really didn't need to shovel the snow herself, so she threw down the shovel and happily followed Chu Chu to squat on the ground.
My leather-gloved hands didn't feel cold when they first touched the snow.
Qin Qingman and Chuchu were very skillful and quickly compacted the snow shoveled by Wei Ling. The tall building started from the ground. After a few minutes, the body of the snowman was ready. What remained was the head, which had to be round.
Qin Qingman made a snowball and squeezed it in her hand, then placed the snowball on the thick snow and slowly rolled it. As she rolled, the snowball became bigger and bigger. Chuchu followed behind Qin Qingman and clapped her hands non-stop, and her cheerful laughter echoed over the yard.
Wei Ling was very strong and moved quickly. While Qin Qingman and her brother were rolling snowballs, he built two more snowmen.
Two big and one small.
The big ones are on both sides, the small one is in the middle, holding hands.
At a glance, you can tell that the three snowmen represent their family of three.
After Qin Qingman pushed the snowball, she turned around and saw what Wei Ling was thinking. She immediately smiled brightly and waved, "A Ling, come and help me move the snowball." Her snowball was too big to move, so she could only ask Wei Ling for a hand.
"good."
Wei Ling put down the shovel and strode over.
The loose snowball was a little big and not round enough, so Wei Ling picked it up and patted it around, and a round snowman's head took shape.
"Wow~" Chu Chu opened her mouth in shock.
"Chu Chu, go pick up some leaves to use as eyes for the snowman, and I'll make two more snowman heads." Qin Qingman assigned tasks to Chu Chu.
After the snowman is built, of course you still need to give it eyes, nose, and mouth.
"Okay, I'll go." Chu Chu excitedly ran to a corner of the yard, where there was a ginkgo tree with only a few leaves left on its branches. The bright yellow leaves were extremely eye-catching.
"Yellow eyes?" Wei Ling came over to help Qin Qingman.
"It's winter now, it's good to find suitable leaves. The leaves of pine trees are all pine needles, which are thin and small and not suitable." Qin Qingman explained when she saw Wei Ling was still nitpicking. Anyway, they were making a snowman, so they could use whatever they had.
"Hmm." Wei Ling thought for a moment and said, "I'll use pine needles to rim the eyes later."
"Yellow eyes, green eyelids." Qin Qingman laughed so hard at Wei Ling's beauty that her stomach ached.
"I remember that some races seem to have different eye colors." Wei Ling has different memories of two lives and is not afraid of Qin Qingman making fun of him at all.
"Yes, you are right."
Qin Qingman handed the big snowball to Wei Ling and picked up a small snowball herself.
The little snowball was much lighter and she could carry it.
The round snowball was pressed firmly on the snowman's body, and in this way, the snowman was formed.
"There are dried chilies in the kitchen. Ling, go get three."
Qin Qingman plans to use dried chili peppers to make a mouth for the snowman.
"good."
Wei Ling obediently walked towards the kitchen and just passed by Chu Chu who was holding a handful of leaves. Seeing the amount of leaves in Chu Chu's hand, Wei Ling glanced at the ginkgo tree not far away. The few leaves on the tree were almost all picked.
But the children's happiness is better than anything else.
"Sister, sister, Ye Zi is here." Chu Chu ran to Qin Qingman's side, squatted down excitedly, and carefully placed the Ye Zi in her hand on the snow.
The golden leaves stand out against the white snow.
"Our Chuchu is really capable." Qin Qingman praised Chuchu. It is important to praise children when they complete a task successfully so as not to discourage their enthusiasm and attitude towards participation.
"Hehe——" Chu Chu smiled foolishly.
Then he and Qin Qingman selected leaves of similar size and pressed them on the snowman's face. The snowman suddenly had eyes and became spiritual.
Qin Qingman was not afraid that the leaves would be blown away by the wind. The weather in the northeast was cold, and the leaves would merge into one with the snowman in a short while after being pressed on his face.
Wei Ling came back quickly.
The three peppers he found were of different lengths, and after pressing them on the snowmen's faces, the three snowmen's mouths also became different sizes.
"Sister, the snowman is still missing a nose!"
Chuchu stood a little further away and admired the snowman before expressing her own opinion.
The eyes and mouth are there, all that’s missing is a nose for each person.
"I'll go pick some pine needles." Wei Ling glanced at the pine tree outside the courtyard gate, walked out, raised his hand and pulled, and a handful of emerald green pine needles came into his hand.
"Quick, quick, brother-in-law, let's put a nose on the snowman."
Chuchu was very interested in the colorful facial features of the snowman.
The pine needles were pressed into the shape of a triangle on the reserved nose position of the snowman. With this press, the snowman has all the facial features, and is very eye-catching whether viewed from near or far.
Qin Qingman glanced at Wei Ling and pressed a circle of green pine needles around the eyes of each snowman.
Yellow goes with green.
Well, not ugly, quite unique.
"It's beautiful, sister. It's really beautiful." Chu Chu jumped and danced around the three snowmen, feeling very happy.
His family hasn't made a snowman for several years.
When my parents were alive, my mother was in poor health and couldn't stand the cold, so we didn't make snowmen or play with them. After my parents were gone, there was nothing in the house. We were busy trying to fill our stomachs every day and had no time to make snowmen.
Chuchu's regrets of several years were filled with the appearance of Wei Ling.
"Brother-in-law, you are so nice." Chu Chu hugged Wei Ling's thighs.
The child was small, and if Wei Ling didn't bend down, he could only hug Wei Ling's thighs at most.
"From now on, your brother-in-law will build snowmen with you every year until you come of age." Wei Ling promised Chu Chu.
"Brother-in-law." Chuchu's little face rubbed against Wei Ling's thigh happily.
Qin Qingman was also shocked by Wei Ling's words.
Chuchu is only five years old now, and there are still thirteen years before she reaches adulthood. Thirteen years is not three years, nor is it five years, but a long thirteen years. No one would make a promise for such a long time, and Qin Qingman believes that Wei Ling will definitely do what he says.
At this moment she felt happy.
After two lifetimes, she finally met the man she could entrust her life to.
Qin Qingman looked at Wei Ling with affection and happiness in her eyes.
"Brother-in-law, I'll get you some frozen pears. They're delicious." Chu Chu really didn't know how to express his respect and love for Wei Ling, so he thought of the pears he picked in the fall. There were not many pears, and they were all frozen. Normally, he would only eat one every half a month. Today, he generously decided to eat them in advance.
Chuchu ran away after she finished speaking, but her two short legs moved quite fast.
Wei Ling was too late to stop it.
"A Ling, Chu Chu is happy, let him do it." Qin Qingman explained to Wei Ling with a smile.
"Um."
Wei Ling turned around, grabbed Qin Qingman's hand, took off his gloves, revealing his red fingers.
After playing outdoors for most of the day, it is inevitable that you will be affected. Even if gloves can block out some of the cold, it is impossible to block it out absolutely.
Qin Qingman's hands had already turned red from touching the snow for a long time.
Qin Qingman shuddered as soon as her hand was exposed to the air.
Wei Ling quickly unbuttoned his cotton coat and said, "Wife, I'll warm you up."
Qin Qingman's hands were in this state and she couldn't wash them with hot water or warm them by the fire right away. The best way to keep warm was with body temperature.
Wei Ling planned to use his body temperature to warm Qin Qingman's fingers.
Worried that Qin Qingman's hands were cold, Wei Ling lifted up his sweater and put Qin Qingman's hands inside.
"Um--"
Two muffled groans sounded at the same time.
One is Wei Ling's and the other is Qin Qingman's.
"A Ling, my hands are too cold. You don't need to tuck them under the sweater. Just put them in the cotton coat." Qin Qingman looked at Wei Ling anxiously and distressedly, while her hands that were pressing on Wei Ling's shirt also struggled lightly.
"Qingman."
Wei Ling's voice fell silent because of Qin Qingman's struggle.
The muffled groan he made before was not because Qin Qingman's hand had frozen him, but was an instinctive reaction of his body when Qin Qingman's hand pressed on his shirt.
He is a hot-blooded man, and it is normal for him to have a normal reaction towards his wife.
Qin Qingman was not a little girl who knew nothing. When she heard Wei Ling's hoarse voice, she immediately stopped struggling and her face began to turn red.
At the same time, the feeling under your hands is also extremely clear.
She didn't know whether Wei Ling's body temperature was higher than that of ordinary people, or it was an illusion because her hands were too cold. Qin Qingman only felt that the place where her hands touched was warmer than the stove fire, and the blood in her body was flowing rapidly.
As the blood flows, the body temperature rises and the fingers no longer feel cold.
"Wife, are you feeling better?" Wei Ling was worried that Qin Qingman was cold, so he moved the hand he was holding to another place.
For Qin Qingman, this is another warm place.
"Bang, bang, bang—" She could clearly feel her heart beating steadily under her fingers through her shirt.
Every beat is so powerful.
You can also feel the explosive power of the skin beneath your fingers.
Qin Qingman's face not only turned redder, but her heartbeat was also almost in sync with Wei Ling's. She felt that not only her hands had regained their temperature, but her body was also sweating. Avoiding Wei Ling's sight, Qin Qingman looked at the curtain of the main room and whispered, "A Ling, let's go back."
She is shy.
"Okay." Wei Ling looked around the yard sharply, then went back to the house holding Qin Qingman in one hand and three shovels in the other.
As the door curtains were lowered, any hidden views outside were regretfully withdrawn.
The joyful sounds in the Qin family's yard were so joyful that they attracted the attention of some people in the surrounding area. Curious people looked around the Qin family's yard curiously.
I also discovered the happy life of Qin Qingman and his wife.
Everyone put away their envious looks after Qin Qingman and Wei Ling returned to the house, except Qin Caiyun, who stood stiffly at the window.
The romantic scene between Qin Qingman and Wei Ling in Qin Qingman's yard deeply stimulated her.
She touched her head, which still had the hat on.
I don’t know if it’s because injuries heal slowly in winter or for some other reason, but after resting, my scalp recovered, but the lost hair didn’t grow back for a long time. Whenever Qin Caiyun thought that the hair was caused by the geese in Qin Qingman’s house, her breathing became rapid.
A pair of frozen hands kept shaking.
"Caiyun, Caiyun——"
At this moment, Zhu Hongxia's rough voice rang out.
Qin Caiyun knew why Zhu Hongxia called her for a few seconds. Then she stomped her numb feet and limped back to the house.
No matter what she thought, she could only wait for the opportunity.
Happy moments pass easily. After making a snowman, the family of three sat on the kang in the east room, eating cool frozen pears and admiring the three snowmen holding hands outside the window. All the family members had similar expressions on their faces.
Although Wei Ling did not have a big smile on his face like Qin Qingman and Chu Chu, he was leaning lazily against the head of the kang, his whole body brimming with happiness.
"Sister, I am still smart. I heated up the kang in the east room in advance." Chuchu stood on the kang while biting a frozen pear and walked from east to west, and then from west to east.
He was so happy, so happy that he couldn't sit still.
"My Chuchu is the smartest." Qin Qingman couldn't help but reach out and grab a handful of melon seeds from Chuchu's head.
After a period of nutritional supplementation, the child's hair, although still fine and soft, has become much darker and is no longer as dull and yellow as when he was first born.
"Sister, touch my head again."
Chu Chu happily put her head under Qin Qingman's hand.
Qin Qingman, who offered herself to him, would have been a waste if she hadn't grabbed her. After she had done so, she asked, "Why do you want me to touch you again?"
"Because I realized that I became smart because my sister touched my head."
Chuchu wiped her hands on the towel after eating the frozen pear, then hugged Qin Qingman and laughed.
The delicate facial features are full of energy.
Seeing Chuchu like this, Qin Qingman's heart softened.
This was a completely different Chuchu from the one she had just met. This Chuchu looked like Qin Qingman's younger brother.
In a warm environment, a brother and sister with a huge age difference were fighting each other.
Wei Ling sat and watched, quietly guarding the outer edge of the kang to prevent the quarreling brother and sister from falling off the kang. He was protecting his wife and brother-in-law in his own way.
While the Qin family was in a bustle, Huang Wanqing, accompanied by Du Hongyi and Tian Qiuyun, went to the Northeast Youth Educated Office in Baicheng.
This is the institution that receives educated youth and also the place where their food and oil household registration is implemented.
Generally, the educated youth who arrived here would have three places to go.
Educated youth who engaged in physical labor could enter farms (including the Construction Corps) as farm educated youth. They received a fixed salary of 30 yuan per month and ate in the cafeteria, which was no worse than the workers in the city.
Another type of physical labor is "joining the queue", which means following the local people to do agricultural production. This kind of labor requires earning a share of the work and eating, and there is no pay.
In addition to physical labor, educated youth could also choose to do mental labor, such as teaching or working as a doctor.
But teaching and medical jobs are so popular that every position has been divided up long ago.
When Huang Wanqing registered, the staff asked her whether she wanted to work on the farm or go to the countryside to join the production team.
The staff asked this question because of the military uniforms Du Hongyi and Tian Qiuyun were wearing. If it were in the past, they would have directly assigned them to work in the countryside.
Huang Wanqing didn't understand all this. The place her family had arranged for her to go to in the countryside was not Baicheng at all, so she didn't tell her the details.
Huang Wanqing was confused and asked where the farm would take her and where the queue-joining would take her.
The staff answered our questions patiently one by one.
When Huang Wanqing heard that the farm was not far from Kaoshantun and was right next to the Hongqi Brigade, she immediately chose the Hongqi Brigade, thinking that it would be closer to Qin Qingman.
You can say I was lucky and ended up in a good place by accident.
If I really had to go to the countryside to join the production team, I would probably start crying after just a few days.
