Chapter 28: A Loving Family
Hearing the noise outside, she hurriedly put on her cotton coat, and she felt a slight pain when the cold wind blew on her face.
"Qianqian is back." Looking at the light, An's mother asked.
An Qianqian used a flashlight to shine on her mother, "Mom, why aren't you asleep yet?" In order to save on electricity, An's mother didn't turn on too many lights.
"I'm waiting for you." She thought Qianqian came back alone, so she wanted to go up and pick her up.
Unexpectedly, at this time Mao Jianwen's voice came from behind An Qianqian: "Mom, I sent Qianqian back." After hearing his mother-in-law's voice, Mao Jianwen reacted a little slowly and let go of his wife's hand.
"Jianwen is here, come in quickly. It's windy outside, don't catch a cold." When An's mother heard that Mao Jianwen was coming, she immediately turned on the light in the kitchen.
An Qianqian rolled her eyes at the man behind her and said, "Dog, you've just been playing with my hands all the way, why are you pretending to be a good boy now?"
But this is just their little hobby, and it's quite interesting.
I didn’t expect that he would have such a childish side when he was drunk.
After getting engaged, Mao Jianwen went to his mother-in-law's house every day.
Because Qianqian's leg had not yet fully recovered, he helped the family chop firewood and stack it neatly.
As the time for his departure drew closer, he became more and more reluctant to leave.
Before he got married, he looked forward to leaving home every day, but now, he doesn't even want to go to the army.
Everyone saw what Mao Jianwen did, and they all said Qianqian was very lucky.
Of course, there were also people who praised Qianqian, saying that she was also capable. Not only that, she could also make money. Everyone secretly envied the village chief's family for being able to marry such a capable daughter-in-law.
On the fifteenth day, the Lantern Festival is celebrated across the country.
But in Shangxi Village, at Mao Jiaan's home, they were not very happy.
Mao Jianwen really didn't want to leave.
An Qianqian has a familiar person around her these days, and she is actually quite reluctant to part with him all of a sudden.
She had only verbally acknowledged the difficulties faced by military wives before, but now, having truly experienced them and tasted all the ups and downs herself, she truly realized how great military wives are.
"Qianqian, mom knows you've worked hard. Such separations will always happen in the future. Jianwen is sorry for you about this." Mao Jianwen will leave early tomorrow morning.
Li Yulan felt pity for Qianqian when she saw her coming to deliver something to Jianwen today.
An Qianqian was drinking sugar water from a porcelain jar. She felt very comforted when she heard what Mao's mother said.
"Mom, what are you talking about? I've already prepared for this. Besides, Brother Jianwen isn't going away to do anything. He's going to protect his family and his country. I'm proud of him."
It was true that she had been prepared, but she actually felt very sad when she left.
You can deceive yourself with your mouth, but you can't deceive yourself in your heart.
Mao Jianwen felt uncomfortable when he saw her smiling.
But he was tongue-tied and didn't know how to comfort her.
"Okay, that's enough. Mom knows you've been working hard. If the second child treats you badly in the future, tell mom and I'll beat him to death." She started to protect the person before he even entered the door.
Liu Ying came out with her things: "Mom, please stop talking. Let my second brother go out with Qianqian. We don't know when he will be back next time."
Liu Ying is not good at speaking, but what she said is true.
Today is a good day, Mao Jianwen asked Qianqian to go for a stroll in the town.
"Yes, yes, yes, it's my fault, mom." After saying that, she took out two fifty-dollar bills from her bosom.
"Qianqian, take it and buy whatever you like. Don't save it. This money is what Jianwen gave me every day, and I kept it." Putting the money in Qianqian's hand, Mao's mother said with a smile.
She said this because, firstly, she didn't want conflicts between the sisters-in-law, and secondly, she also wanted Qianqian to understand Jianwen's job.
How could An Qianqian accept it? She quickly pushed it back: "Mom, I can't accept this money." She really couldn't accept this money.
"This money is given by Brother Jianwen to honor you. Just take it. I have money on hand." After saying that, she stood up and walked to Mao Jianwen.
She pulled his sleeve and said, "Brother Jianwen, let's go quickly. Time is running out." She didn't want to push him around here.
Mao Jianwen also knew what she meant. He had the money, so he should leave the money on his mother to her.
"good."
After saying that, the two of them walked out the door without waiting for Li Yulan to react.
Liu Ying looked at the hundred yuan in her mother-in-law's hand and smacked her lips, but she didn't say much.
"Mom, the person ran away."
Li Yulan glared at her unhappily and said, "Why don't you help me stop it?" In her heart, she was even more satisfied with An Qianqian.
I think the An family has taught their daughter very well.
"Mom, I do want to, but my second brother is here, how dare I?" Liu Ying felt that her second brother looked a little scary.
"You're useless." Li Yulan snorted at her and walked out of the room.
Looking at the two people walking on the path, she shouted loudly, "Don't walk out of the village, let the village carriage take you there."
Hearing this, An Qianqian turned around and responded, "Okay."
On the path in the field, An Qianqian smiled and waved to Li's mother.
Mao Jianwen felt even sadder when he saw her like this. "Qianqian, I'm sorry." He whispered in her ear.
"Why are you saying sorry?" An Qianqian was a little confused about what he was thinking.
"I don't know how long it will take me to come back, I..." He couldn't say the rest of the words.
An Qianqian looked at him and smiled: "I thought it was a big deal. If you can't come back, you can just wait until I have time to see you." It's not a big deal.
Nowadays, unlike in the past, you still need a letter of introduction when you go out.
Now, you can go anywhere you want as long as you have money.
When Mao Jianwen heard that she was coming to see him, he was so happy, but when he thought about the conditions of his dormitory, he frowned again.
"Okay, let's go." She really wanted to go for a walk on the street and buy him some food to take to the army.
They were lucky. When they arrived at the brigade, Uncle He's carriage was there.
I guess he just came back from sending someone off.
"Uncle He." Seeing the person, An Qianqian ran up and called out.
Uncle He was just unharnessing his horse. When he saw someone coming, he immediately laughed: "Are you going to the street?" Uncle He asked when he saw Mao Jianwen behind her.
"Well, Uncle He, are you free? Just take us to the street." Shangxi Village is a bit remote and there are no tractors here. There are bicycles, but the mountain road is too rugged, so it is better to take a horse carriage.
"It's empty. Come on, get in the car. Uncle He will take you to town."
Looking at her beautiful smile, Mao Jianwen's feeling of separation faded a little.
In the carriage, Uncle He asked Mao Jianwen when they planned to get married, and Mao Jianwen answered all the questions.
She said she would get married once the report came out.
Time passed quickly as we chatted and before we knew it we had arrived in town.
Not to mention, the New Year atmosphere in the town is stronger than in the village.
After getting off the car, Mao Jianwen asked Uncle He to wait for them here at four o'clock in the afternoon.
Uncle He agreed to all their requests and let them have fun.
The town is not as good as the county, but it is also quite lively.
"Let me take you to the China World Trade Center for a stroll." Mao Jianwen asked as they walked on the road.
An Qianqian certainly had no objection: "Okay."
