The factory cannot be completely empty, so this year Li Jie and Qian Yuan stayed behind to be on duty. Before Ling Ju left, she gave each of them a red envelope of 50 yuan as instructed by Song Wei.
The two young men were so happy.
Ling Ju also gave them some snacks.
When she returned to the cold and dark room of the regiment headquarters, she actually felt a little lonely. This was the first time she felt lonely in all the time she had been here.
Song Qi had been gone for 10 days and no one knew when he would be back. He just ate some snacks, took a shower and went to bed.
In the dim night, I felt someone touching my belly. I thought I was dreaming and didn't even turn around, but the bed behind me suddenly collapsed, and then I was hugged in a strong embrace, and the familiar scent of a man entered my nose.
The cold body temperature made her sober. When she turned around, she met a pair of smiling black eyes. Even though there was only moonlight to illuminate her, she still felt extremely happy at this moment.
"Song Qi! You're back!"
She put her arms around the man's neck and completely buried herself in his arms.
His large hand stroked her back, "I'm sorry for waking you."
She nuzzled her face into the crook of his neck, taking in the familiar scent. "Damn it! I thought you wouldn't be back for a few days."
The man chuckled softly twice, as if he was very satisfied with the woman's coquettishness. With the warm and soft beauty in his arms, all the fatigue of ten consecutive days disappeared. But Ling Ju suddenly seemed to remember something, stood up, turned on the light, and started to strip Song Qi's clothes.
Song Qi was startled, "Wife, what is this?"
"Don't move, let me check if you're injured."
Song Qi relaxed his body and let her 'check' him.
Fortunately, there was no injury and the previous scars were very faint. Under her "protection", this body was still very strong and solid, and there were no new wounds.
She was completely relieved and looked at the time. It was only one in the morning. So it seemed that Song Qi came back not long after she fell asleep?
Ling Ju was a little annoyed because she slept so deeply that she didn't hear any movement.
"Are you tired these days?" Song Qi smelled of soap. It seemed that he took a shower first after coming back?
"It's okay, I just miss you more, it's a bit tormenting."
"Hey, how dare you not think of me? Oh, by the way, did you bring your watch?"
"Don't worry, wear it all the time when you go out."
"That's good. Let's go to bed then. Do you have to get up early tomorrow?"
Song Qi touched her long hair and said, "No, just have a good sleep."
It was already eight o'clock in the morning when Ling Ju woke up. She slept very well, perhaps because Song Qi was by her side. The first thing she did when she opened her eyes was to look at the man behind her. His arms were still around her, and his big palm was against her abdomen, feeling that little bit of vitality.
Dry mouth and a strong desire to drink water.
As soon as he moved, the man opened his eyes, and Ling Ju saw the dark circles under his eyes. It seemed that he hadn't slept much recently.
"woke up?"
"Uh-huh, I want some water."
Song Qi immediately threw back the quilt and went downstairs to pour the water. When he turned around, Ling Ju saw something beneath the man's muscular abs...
Ahem, shame...this man...
Even though I'm so tired, I'm still so energetic. I really am in good health...
Noticing the woman's gaze, the man did not dodge. Instead, he walked closer to her and handed her the cup of water right under her eyes, then stood there waiting for her to finish drinking.
Ling Ju quickly turned her eyes away and concentrated on drinking water, but she kept wanting to take a few glances out of the corner of her eye. They say that a short separation is better than a new marriage, but they... couldn't do anything because of the pregnancy.
My stomach rumbled at the right moment, and the man's voice rang out from above my head, "I'll go cook, what do you want to eat, wife?"
When Ling Ju thought about how Song Qi had been away for so many days and still cooked for her, her service-oriented personality took over her mind again. She quickly grabbed the man's arm and made him sit down by the bed. "Don't move, I'll go. I froze a lot of dumplings earlier. They're in a box outside the windowsill. There's still some left. Let's eat them."
"It's just cooking dumplings, it's not tiring. Go brush your teeth and wash your face first, I'll start cooking."
She couldn't persuade Song Qi, so Song Qi helped her put on her clothes and went to wash up.
When she came back from washing up, she found that Song Qi was already cooking dumplings and there was milk powder on the table.
There are really a lot of dumplings in this pot. "Wife, it's time to eat."
The plump white cornmeal, cabbage and meat dumplings were placed in an enamel dish. Song Qi poured some vinegar on them and the two of them started to eat while they were still hot.
Ling Ju told him everything that had happened recently, except that she had seen Zheng Pingping.
Especially the incident of seeing Sun Yun in Song Wei's office that day, the fight in the factory, and the theft. She described it all vividly. Unexpectedly, Song Qi frowned after she finished speaking.
"What's wrong, Song Qi?"
Did Song Qi have something against Sun Yun? Or something else?
Song Qi looked at her and said, "Stay away from other people's fights in the future. There are so many men there. Don't get involved. Liu Qing can handle it."
Well, it turns out he was worried about her safety.
His eyes curved with a smile, "As you command, Captain Song!"
Ling Ju decided to wait until after the Chinese New Year to invite Li Zhigang and Hongying's family to dinner. After a day of rest, Song Qi had to train for another day. He also had to arrange for the holiday for the soldiers who did not return home before the Spring Festival. He was very busy these two days.
Two days before the Spring Festival, Ling's parents came to the regiment headquarters from home, bringing four large pieces of luggage filled with many uncommon medicinal herbs, mountain products, etc. In the evening, the Ling couple, Song Qi, Ling Ju, and Ling Yong boarded the train to Kyoto.
Ling Ju had only seen some photos of Kyoto in 1981 in newspapers, and she was looking forward to it. She believed that Kyoto without so many skyscrapers would highlight the charm of the ancient city even more.
The five of them took a soft sleeper train to Beijing. The conditions on the soft sleeper train were much better than the last time Ling Ju took the train to Guangzhou. However, as it was almost the New Year, there were quite a few people on the train.
In particular, many troops returning home to visit their families have to transfer in Kyoto, which is a large transit station.
The crowded and narrow carriage was filled with green figures. Ling Ju, who was in the high-end soft sleeper compartment, couldn't help but sigh at the super power of power and money.
Think about when she was in college in 2013, she could only get a hard seat ticket to go home for the Chinese New Year. The hard seat carriage was noisy, crowded and smelly, and the environment was really terrible.
But now, the soft sleeper that she couldn't buy in her previous life even if she paid more money can now be easily obtained here.
Song Qi peeled an orange for Ling Ju, who took it, feeling a bit excited and a bit nervous. "Song Qi, how are your grandparents? I'm a bit nervous."
"My grandparents are both veterans of the battlefield. They're both in their seventies. They're easy to get along with, don't worry."
"Well, then your father is your grandparents' only son?"
Song Qi shook his head, "No, I have an aunt and an uncle, and my dad is the eldest."
"So, do your aunt and uncle get along well? How old are their children?"
"My aunt married and moved to Shanghai. She won't be back for the New Year. She has a son, my uncle, who has never been married."
"How old is your uncle?"
"Forty."
