Under the dim yellow light in the room, Tian Yujun patiently helped him shave his beard, then sat beside him, grabbed his chilblained hands, and rubbed his facial cream on them with heartache.
Tian Yujun sat opposite him with her big belly and asked softly, "Does it hurt?"
Chen Jianguo shook his head: "It doesn't hurt."
Tian Yujun increased the strength of his hands when applying the medicine, and Chen Jianguo gasped.
"You're not in pain, are you? Why are you hissing?"
Chen Jianguo: "Even if it hurts, you have to say it doesn't hurt."
Tian Yujun raised his eyes, his look was reproachful but also had a hint of viciousness.
"Didn't you say that if you don't come back for half a month, you're a puppy?"
Chen Jianguo whispered: "Woof woof..."
Tian 㫧-kun paused, then was amused.
She raised her hand and slapped him on the arm.
"shameless."
"How can you show your dignity in front of your wife?"
"Why didn't I realize you were so thick-skinned before?"
"It's not too late to know now."
Mr. Tian...
"You should stay in the forest for a while longer. This mouth is becoming more and more like Jiang Dahai. I think it's better not to keep it."
Tian 嫧jun got up angrily, and Chen Jianguo also stood up, put his arms around her waist from behind, and gently stroked Tian 嫧jun's bulging belly with his big hands.
Tian Jun twisted his body and said, "Stop making trouble. I'll go make noodles for you. Keep your voice down and don't wake the child."
"I know."
Tian Yujun cooked two bowls of臊子面 for Chen Jianguo. Chen Jianguo hadn't had a hot meal for more than a month.
The noodles tasted like a delicacy.
After finishing the noodles, she even drank up all the soup.
Chen Jianguo wanted to wash the dishes but was stopped by Tian Yujun.
When the two lay down again, Chen Jianguo curled up in the quilt and hugged Tian Yujun tightly.
He missed her very much.
Tian Yujun still had his back to him and asked, "Are there any wounds on your body?"
“No, not this time.
The clothes were cut."
"I'll sew it for you tomorrow, so get some rest."
Chen Jianguo's hands were restless, so Tian Yujun slapped him on the back of his hands.
"You don't want your hands anymore?"
Only then did Chen Jianguo gently take his hand out from under her clothes.
Tian Yujun thought about it, turned over with difficulty and got into his arms.
She touched his chest and back again and again with her hands, making sure that he was not hurt, and only then did she feel relieved.
Chen Jianguo missed him very much, but his bulging belly was somewhat of a hindrance between the two of them.
Chen Jianguo let her rest her head on his arm and put one hand on her bulging belly.
Later, he didn't do anything wrong after all, but just slept soundly in her arms.
When Zhang Qingdong came back, Jiang Wan was still studying very hard.
Zhang Qingdong came back suddenly, and Jiang Wan jumped directly into his arms.
Jiang Wan hugged his neck and kissed Zhang Qingdong on the face.
Jiang Wan leaned in and sniffed Zhang Qingdong, then smiled and said, "You've been here for so long, you stink."
Zhang Qingdong pecked Jiang Wan lightly on the lips and smiled: "No matter how smelly he is, he is still your man."
Jiang Wan chuckled foolishly.
She jumped down from his arms and said, "Then I'll go cook noodles for you."
Zhang Qingdong also giggled.
Jiang Wan cooked noodles in the past, and although those noodles were not very delicious, but in the woods, what he missed most was the bowl of noodles made by Jiang Wan.
By the time Zhang Qingdong finished washing up, the noodles made by Jiang Wan's unique technique were ready.
Zhang Qingdong rubbed his hands, lowered his head and started eating.
This taste...
Still a familiar taste.
Zhang Qingdong smiled with a look of contentment.
Jiang Wan sat opposite him with his hands on his chin.
Jiang Wanyu: "If you don't come back, I will leave for the capital to take the exam alone the day after tomorrow.
Will you accompany me?"
"Okay. I'll ask for leave tomorrow."
Zhang Qingdong has made a great contribution this time, so even if he has to be shameless, he has to take the leave.
Zhang Qingdong was already thinking about asking for leave.
He wolfed down two bowls of noodles. In the woods, he ate fried rice for every meal, so he could eat even a bowl of rat meat.
Jiang Wan saw the chilblains on the back of Zhang Qingdong’s hands and took her own face cream and applied a thick layer on the back of his hands.
Jiang Wanyu: "Tomorrow I'll go to the county town to buy you some snake oil ointment to reduce swelling."
"Don't bother, it will be fine in a few days."
Jiang Wan doesn't care.
Zhang Qingdong came back, and Jiang Wanyu no longer had the heart to read. She pestered Zhang Qingdong all night long, and they were almost fighting for eight hundred rounds.
The next morning, Zhang Qingdong went straight to Political Commissar Zhou's office, and Jiang Wan went straight to the county town.
When Jiang Wan came back at noon, Zhang Qingdong had already prepared lunch and was waiting for her.
Jiang Wan placed the snake oil ointment on the table and said, "You apply this, I'll get a bottle for Brother Chen.
As for the remaining bottles, each of you who are going on a mission together will have one bottle. Bring them to the training ground this afternoon."
Jiang Wan didn't eat a single bite of food and went straight to the third floor.
Tian Yujun opened the door and Jiang Wan handed the snake oil ointment to Tian Yujun.
Jiang Wanyu: "Sister, I went to the county hospital this morning and bought a few bottles of snake oil ointment. I gave one to Brother Chen. Sprinkle this on frostbite and it will heal faster."
"Thank you, Xiaowan. Come in and have dinner."
"No sister, my family's done too.
I am leaving. "
Jiang Wan smiled sweetly, turned around and went downstairs.
As soon as Tian Yujun came in, he handed the snake oil ointment to Chen Jianguo.
"Here, Jiang Wan bought the snake oil ointment, apply it quickly.
This girl must have gone to the hospital early in the morning."
Chen Jianguo just smiled.
In the afternoon, Zhang Qingdong gave Jiang Dahai and others several bottles of snake oil ointment.
The next morning, Zhang Qingdong and Jiang Wan set off for the capital to take the exam.
On Chen Jianguo's side, he heard from his soldiers that Feng Zhidong and his two siblings were fighting with some kids from the village.
When Jiang Dahai heard about it, he said, "Hey, my son has made great progress and even knows how to take care of Xiao Xueyan."
Chen Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, but this was too dangerous.
When he came back in the afternoon, Chen Jianguo looked serious. He glanced at his three children who were doing their homework on the dining table.
Chen Jianguo said: "You three, stand against the wall. I have something to ask you."
Tian Yujun came out and heard this: "You want them to stand in the corner as punishment?
They didn’t make any mistakes.”
Chen Jianguo glanced at Tian Yujun and softened his tone: "You are also making trouble."
When Tian Yujun heard this, he knew why he had to punish the three children by making them stand.
At this moment, the three children were standing obediently against the wall.
Chen Jianguo said sternly: "Don't fight with others anymore, do you understand?"
Tian Xiaojun gritted his teeth and came back to punish the child without asking him what happened.
Tian Yujun went into the kitchen and came out with a rolling pin.
She walked slowly behind Chen Jianguo, picked up a rolling pin and hit his butt with it neither too hard nor too lightly.
Chen Jianguo was so busy scolding his child that he didn't even notice the angry Tian Yujun.
Chen Jianguo held his butt and jumped two steps to the side.
Tian Yujun: "Why don't you try to train them again?
I was the one who instigated them to fight, why don't you make me stand in the corner as punishment?
How about I join them in being punished?"
Chen Jianguo instantly became timid.
He explained in a low voice: "I'm just worried that they will get hurt."
He is injured and the child's parents will be heartbroken.
