It is now almost ten o'clock in the morning. A white arm stretched out from under the bulging quilt on the bed, and felt around under the pillow. Finally, it touched it, and then the arm retracted into the quilt.
A hoarse voice rang out in the silent room: "Wang Jianshe, that bastard! I don't know what medicine he took. He went crazy all night. I'm so tired..."
After a while, a charming young woman slowly emerged from the bed, and it was the warmth that had been tormenting her for most of the night.
Wen Nuan raised her watch. "Oh my god, it's already ten o'clock! No wonder I'm so hungry!"
Wen Nuan wanted to put on her clothes, but she moved her aching waist and said, "Hiss... It hurts so much. I have to let him sleep on the floor tonight!"
Thinking back to last night, when she accidentally called out "husband", the rough guy acted like he had taken an aphrodisiac and almost tortured her to death. Wen Nuan felt so angry that her teeth were itching.
She couldn't get up. Thinking about what the rough guy said last night, that there was a drill today and he wouldn't be back for lunch, Wen Nuan collapsed back into bed, "Lie down for a while..."
After lying down for another half an hour, Wen Nuan was so hungry that she couldn't stand it anymore, so she slowly got up, put on her clothes.
"I don't know where little Feifei has gone. I haven't seen it for almost a day. It's been playing around lately. I must have a good talk with it when I get back," Wen Nuan muttered as she dragged her feet towards the kitchen.
If Feifei, who was looking for treasure in the back mountain, knew that Wen Nuan was mumbling to her behind her back, she would definitely say, "You guys were so intense last night, how could I have the nerve to stay at home!"
After dragging her aching body to eat a bowl of noodles, Wen Nuan finally felt a little better physically and mentally.
She took a slow stroll in the yard to help digest the food, but she still felt tired. Wen Nuan thought about it and thought it was nothing, so she climbed back into bed and went to sleep.
Wen Nuan slept until about two in the afternoon. Only now did she feel like she was alive again.
After getting up and washing her face to make herself more awake, Wen Nuan took out the clothes she had changed yesterday and started washing them.
“Knock knock,” there was a knock on the door, followed by Wang Xiangyu’s voice, “Xiao Nuan, open the door, I’m here!”
"I'm coming!" Wen Nuan quickly washed her hands and went to open the door.
It was Wang Xiangyu who was outside the door, and there was a middle-aged woman standing next to her, looking at Wen Nuan with a smile.
"Sister-in-law, what is this?" Wen Nuan looked at Wang Xiangyu in confusion.
"Oh, this is Ma Lanxiang, the women's director of our family area," Wang Xiangyu introduced the two to each other, "and this is Wen Nuan, the young wife of Captain Wang."
"Hello, Sister Ma, hello, please come in!" When Wen Nuan heard that it was the director of the women's department, she quickly invited her in.
Ma Lanxiang and Wang Xiangyu entered the yard and followed the warmth to the main room where they sat down.
Seeing the guests seated, Wen Nuan hurriedly started pouring water.
"Oh, Comrade Wen, don't bother. I don't want to drink water. Come, let's sit down and chat," Ma Lanxiang said in a gentle voice when she saw Wen Nuan busy making sugar water.
"No, that won't work. My elder sister is coming to my house, how can I not even pour her a glass of water?" Wen Nuan said as she quickly prepared two bowls of brown sugar water.
After serving the water to Sister Ma and Sister Xiangyu, Wen Nuan came and sat down at the table.
Ma Lanxiang glanced at Wen Nuan quietly and praised her in her heart: He has clear eyes and an innocent face, he is a good child!
"Xiao Nuan, can I call you that?" Ma Lanxiang asked softly.
"Of course!" Wen Nuan was a little nervous.
"Haha, don't be nervous, I won't eat you," Ma Lanxiang saw Wen Nuan's nervousness and said with a smile.
"That's right, Xiao Nuan, don't be nervous. You just arrived and Sister Ma came to see you," Wang Xiangyu also comforted her.
Wen Nuan smiled shyly, "I'm not nervous. Sister Ma is so gentle, I'm not nervous at all."
"Haha, good, just don't be nervous!" Ma Lanxiang laughed at Wen Nuan's childish words, "Xiao Nuan, you just got here, is there anything you are not used to? Is there anything you lack in your life?"
"No, no, it's fine. I've adapted well. I don't lack anything. Sister Xiangyu has helped me prepare a lot of things before, and she also took me to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a lot of things. Now there is basically nothing missing at home. Everything is fine!"
"That's good. If you have any difficulties in your daily life, you can come to me directly. I don't know where I live, so just let Xiangyu take you there."
"Well, if there's anything I really don't understand, I will definitely go find Sister Xiangyu and you," Wen Nuan said with a smile.
"Okay, just look for it," Ma Lanxiang liked Wen Nuan's cheerful look very much. "It's like this, Xiao Nuan, when our military wives first come to join the army, we will collect information to see if there are any suitable jobs to arrange. I just want to ask you, what is your academic qualifications, so that when there is a suitable job, we can arrange it for you as appropriate."
Listening to Ma Lanxiang's words, Wen Nuan was a little surprised. She didn't expect the army to treat military families so well. However, she didn't think about working because she was sure that she would get pregnant, and with twins, a boy and a girl. So, Wen Nuan just wanted to take good care of the fetus and raise the children.
Moreover, this year is 1974, and there are less than three years until the resumption of the college entrance examination in 1977. She is still thinking about finding time to read some books. No matter what good school she can get into, at least she will have an academic degree and find a stable job. With her current elementary school education, it is really difficult for her to do anything.
Thinking about it this way, Wen Nuan made up her mind, "Sister Ma, my education level is a bit low. Due to some reasons, I went to the countryside to be an educated youth before I graduated from junior high school, so I can only be regarded as an elementary school graduate. I won't bother the organization to arrange a job for me."
After hearing Wen Nuan's words, Ma Lanxiang and Wang Xiangyu were both very surprised. They really didn't expect Wen Nuan's educational level to be so low, because even Wang Xiangyu only graduated from junior high school.
"It's okay to have a low level of education, but it's really hard to arrange a job. I have to think about it," Ma Lanxiang frowned and thought, there really was no way.
"Sister Ma, there's really no need. You don't have to arrange a job for me, at least not for now. I just arrived and I don't understand anything yet. Let's talk about work after I get familiar with the environment," Wen Nuan thought that the news of her pregnancy would be announced in about a month, and then she wouldn't have to worry about whether to work or not.
"That's right, you just got here, so get familiar with the place first. I'll also be paying attention here and tell you when there's a suitable job," Ma Lanxiang thought about it and felt that it made sense, so she just paid attention first.
Ma Lanxiang didn't stay for long. After talking for a while, she said goodbye and left.
Wen Nuan was doing laundry while Wang Xiangyu sat aside and chatted with her. "Actually, don't hold out too much hope for a job. There are so many military dependents in the family quarters, how can we arrange jobs for all of them? Unless they have a high degree, like our neighbor Teacher Zhao, who has a high school degree, she can teach in an elementary school."
"Well, I know, sister-in-law. I haven't thought about work. Let nature take its course. If there's a suitable job, I'll do it. If not, it's pretty good to just take care of the family like this," Wen Nuan said with a smile.
"As long as you understand it in your heart!"
