"Mom, if I eat like this every day, I'll get as fat as a pig."
I used to think that it was enough for my mother-in-law to kill a young chicken and make soup for me, but I never expected that she could do so much more.
"When the weather gets warmer, Mom will take you out for more activities."
Yang Yufen remained silent for a moment.
From childhood to adulthood, even in the best times at home, Qin Nian had never seen so many New Year's goods.
Besides what my mother-in-law made herself, she also bought a lot of things from the supply and marketing cooperative and department store.
Because it was almost Chinese New Year, when Qin Nian received her salary in advance, she stuffed it all into Yang Yufen's hands without thinking.
"Mom, take this money."
"Mom has money."
The two were making excuses when a sound came from outside the door.
"Aunt Yang, is Comrade Qin here?"
"Mom, take this. We're all family. Go open the door and see who it is."
Qin Nian took the opportunity to stuff all the money into Yang Yufen's hands.
Not wanting to keep the people outside waiting any longer, Yang Yufen took the money, lifted the curtain, and went out.
"Political Commissar Zhao, what brings you here?"
Yang Yufen recognized him immediately.
"Aunt Yang, I've come to visit you and Comrade Xiao Qin on behalf of the military region."
"Please come in, please come in."
Yang Yufen quickly invited people in.
"Niannian, Political Commissar Zhao is here."
Yang Yufen called out into the house, and Qin Nian got up and tidied up.
Political Commissar Zhao did not come alone; he was accompanied by Shen Xianjun's regimental commander and company commander.
“Aunt Yang, Comrade Xiao Qin, we met last time. I am Wu Bing, the regimental commander of Comrade Shen Xianjun. I am here not only to express my condolences to you, but also to apologize. Comrade Shen Xianjun could not be found, and it has been confirmed that he sacrificed his life.”
Qin Nian immediately looked at Yang Yufen with concern and reached out to support her mother-in-law.
"Didn't find it?"
Yang Yufen lowered her head and patted Qin Nian's hand to indicate that she was alright.
"Because it was only when the mission was over that we discovered Comrade Shen Xianjun was missing, some people in the unit had objections and we could not award Comrade Shen Xianjun a merit."
However, the state will not abandon our military dependents. This is Comrade Shen Xianjun's pension; it's not much, but if Aunt Yang has any difficulties, she can let us know, and we will do our best to help.
Yang Yufen reached out and accepted the compensation.
"I have no demands and I don't want to cause any trouble for the country. Thank you for coming to tell me this news in person."
Yang Yufen immediately handed over the 800 yuan compensation to Qin Nian.
“It’s been tough on you. Take this money, Nian Nian. You’re a great contributor to the Shen family. It’s not easy being pregnant with two children. From now on, Mom will stay here to take good care of the children for you.”
Political Commissar Zhao and the others were both pleasantly surprised and worried upon hearing this.
The surprise is that twins are a rare occurrence, but the worry is that this news at this time might cause negative emotions in the pregnant woman.
"Mom, I can't take this money. You've already worked so hard taking care of me. You should keep the money."
Qin Nian quickly refused, as her mother-in-law was the one who was most upset, and she couldn't accept the money.
"Here you go, my good child. I know that brat is just unlucky. A good girl like you will be the subject of gossip. Don't worry, I will protect you!"
