Chapter 33 Chapter 33 Worry
Tian Ge was feeling uneasy at home when suddenly someone came to the door. It was the village chief.
The village chief asked him to go out and check quickly, saying that Qin Xiong had an accident in the mountains.
Tian Ge felt a pang of pain in his heart and ran out of the door in a panic. Outside the door, he met Qin Bao who had returned home for vacation. He gave him three taels of silver for next month's living expenses in advance.
In a blink of an eye, the village chief had disappeared. He asked other villagers where Qin Xiong was, but no one could understand his gestures and was still chatting with him happily, which made him so anxious that he stamped his feet.
When he ran home wiping his tears, he saw a white sail hanging at the door. His second brother, wearing mourning clothes, held his hand with a listless look, saying that Qin Xiong and his father were gone, and what should he and the baby in his belly do in the future.
Tian Ge looked down at her belly and realized belatedly that she was pregnant.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that she was completely hopeless at that moment. Tian Ge cried silently in front of the door.
"Xiaoge'er, Xiaoge'er, Tiange, wake up."
A familiar voice came from his ears, and Tian Ge sobbed so hard that his chest rose and fell. His throat felt sore and his face was wet. He opened his eyes and saw Qin Xiong leaning on him with an anxious look on his face.
The moonlight was bright outside the window, and they were all still lying in bed.
Tian Ge realized belatedly that it was just a dream, but the panic and despair in the dream were so real. He breathed a sigh of relief and raised his hands to hug Qin Xiong tightly.
He was scared to death.
Qin Xiong stroked Tian Ge's back, and the person in his arms hugged him tightly. Qin Xiong was awakened by a burst of gasping noises. He turned around to see Tian Ge's tearful face and was shocked. He took a closer look and found that the person was still asleep. He must have had a nightmare.
"Dreams are all fake." Qin Xiong comforted him softly, and then asked, "What did you dream about?"
The contents of the dream were so unlucky that Tian Ge still felt scared when he thought about it. He shook his head, propped himself up and kissed Qin Xiong, his palm reaching towards his chest.
Tian Ge kissed him eagerly and anxiously, but Qin Xiong took it all in.
The moonlight was pouring down, and the early spring night was still very cold. Qin Xiong pulled the quilt up to cover Tian Ge's cold arms, and in between kisses, he said gently, "Do you want to do something?"
Because of the preparations for going into the mountains, Qin Xiong has been busy with spring sowing, and they haven't been close for two days.
Tian Ge sniffed, lay on Qin Xiong's chest, nodded, and eagerly wanted to get closer to him, even closer.
The lit match gave off a smell of fireworks, and the candles on the table were lit, and Tian Ge's rabbit-like red eyes were clearly illuminated. He sat on the bed wrapped in a quilt, his long hair messy and pressed against the edge of the quilt, and his eyes followed Qin Xiong's movements.
He looked pitiful, as if he had suffered some great injustice.
It was still early outside and very quiet; the roosters had not yet crowed.
Qin Xiong went to the kitchen and poured a bowl of water. The kettle had been kept warm in the fire pit, so the water was still hot. He added some sugar and returned to the bedroom. His husband was looking at him eagerly.
"Don't be anxious. Drink some water first to moisten your body, then we can do it." Qin Xiong walked to the bed and sat down, saying gently.
Tian Ge sipped the sugar water and sat in the middle of the bed wrapped in the quilt, like a big triangular dumpling. She felt a little embarrassed after hearing Qin Xiong's words, but he was not very anxious.
After drinking a bowl of water, his throat, which had been made hoarse by crying silently, felt much better, and his beating heart settled down. He looked up and saw Qin Xiong sitting by the bed with his coat wrapped around him, looking at him gently, with a look of sleepiness in his eyes.
Tian Ge handed the empty porcelain bowl to Qin Xiong, licked the corner of his mouth, and the sweetness spread on the tip of his tongue. His eyelashes were still stained with tears, but he suddenly smiled again, reached out from the warm quilt and hugged Qin Xiong's neck.
Yes, it was just a dream.
-----You are so nice to me.
"You are my husband. If I don't treat you well, who else can I treat well?" Qin Xiong answered casually. Without blowing out the lights, he took off his jacket, put his arm around Tian Ge and went back to sleep in the quilt. He leaned over and kissed the sweet corners of Tian Ge's mouth.
-----Go to sleep and stop working. You have been busy in the fields all day and must be tired.
"Not tired." Qin Xiong grabbed Tian Ge's hands and pressed them under him. He closed his eyes and lazily kissed Tian Ge's fair neck and shoulders, saying affirmatively, "Xiao Ge'er is worried."
Tian Ge usually loves to laugh and always looks at things optimistically. How could such a person cry out loud in a dream? Qin Xiong thought about it over and over, but still couldn't understand. It was this confusion that made Qin Xiong feel even more uncomfortable. Tian Ge had been married to him for less than half a year, and she was being wronged. He didn't even know the reason. When asked what the dream was about, Tian Ge didn't want to tell him...
Unfortunately, Tian Ge was so dizzy from being kissed that she couldn't understand the meaning of Qin Xiong's words, nor did she show any sign of "confessing her feelings" to Qin Xiong.
They had been married for nearly half a year and had frequent sex. As soon as his fingers touched her skin, Tian Ge relaxed submissively, having become accustomed to his closeness.
Although Qin Xiong's fingers were a little rough with calluses, his finger bones were distinct, slender and strong, and he was especially gentle to him tonight.
He had no recollection of when he fell asleep. Tian Ge woke up in the morning and lay in bed for a while. There was no one around him. He thought vaguely about what happened last night. It seemed that Qin Xiong had not finished when he fell asleep, but now his body was fresh and clean, probably because Qin Xiong had wiped him.
It was still early and there was breakfast warm on the stove. It was the only delicious steamed egg that Qin Xiong could make.
Qin Xiong always gets up very early in the morning, tacitly takes charge of breakfast for the family, and then goes to the fields after eating.
After Tian Ge finished breakfast, he heated up the leftovers and went to the backyard to feed Da Huang and Er Huang. Both hunting dogs were in their prime and were very lively. As soon as they saw their owner, they started spinning around in the cage, wagging their tails and whimpering.
Strangely enough, Dahuang and Erhuang only acted like this to him. They were much more steady in front of Qin Xiong, at least they didn't dare to pounce on him and lick Qin Xiong's hands and face.
Qin Xiong said that dogs also read people's moods, and he spoiled Dahuang and Erhuang too much.
Tian Ge squatted between the two dogs, touching one with each hand. After touching, he smelled the palm of his hand. There was a strong smell of dog, very stinky. He hurried to the front yard to get water to wash it. Qin Xiong did not let him touch the dogs.
I let Dahuang and Erhuang play in the yard, and they followed him around in and out of the house.
Tian Ge took the hoe, and when he was about to go out, he saw Dahuang and Erhuang following him enthusiastically, and he softened his heart.
-----Follow me when you go out, don’t run around.
-----Otherwise you will get beaten.
Dahuang and Erhuang just panted and wagged their tails.
Fortunately, both dogs were obedient enough and followed their owner closely.
Tian Ge removed the weeds from the small vegetable garden and turned the soil over. The green onions and green peppers in the field were growing well, and they couldn't eat them all. But there were not many vegetables left, so Tian Ge wanted to buy some cabbage, spinach, rapeseed and tomato seeds and plant some of each. Qin Xiong liked to eat vegetarian food, especially minced meat, tofu and spinach soup. He would drink two bowls every time it was made.
After finishing the work, his body felt warm, and he even sweated a little. The sun was out, so Tian Ge found a stone and sat down where the sun could shine on him to rest for a while. He thought about going home to see his father before going up the mountain with Qin Xiong, and thinking about what to cook for lunch. Qin Xiong should be in the field sowing potato seeds. This work was tiring, so he had to eat something good.
Tian Ge picked up a piece of grass from under his feet and scratched the noses of Dahuang and Erhuang. The two dogs sneezed one after another and scratched their faces with their front paws.
Suddenly, both dogs became alert, protecting Tian Ge behind them, with their tails tied high and hanging down. They stood still, staring at the direction of the path. They didn't bark, but grunted in warning in their throats.
They were the only family living in this area at the back of the mountain, and usually no one was seen there. The noise made Tian Ge a little nervous.
Until they saw Qin Xiong turning from the small road, the two dogs immediately wagged their tails in a flattering manner. Tian Ge's eyes also lit up, and she stood up and trotted over to meet him.
"I didn't see anyone at home, so I thought you came here." Qin Xiong said.
-----How did you get here?
It's only morning now. Logically, Qin Xiong should be sowing seeds in the field on the mountain by now. He has been doing this for the past few days.
"Let's go back to Dad's house and spend the day." Qin Xiong said, "If we go early, we can still catch a meal."
-----real?
"Yeah." Qin Xiong nodded and thought about it carefully. He had never told a lie to Tian Ge.
Tian Ge's little face, which was red and sweaty from work, smiled, and her happiness was beyond words. After getting married, Tian Ge often went back to her parents' home. After all, they lived nearby. Whenever something delicious was cooked, Tian Ge would think of sending a portion home, either a few big buns or a bowl of stewed meat. The portion was not much, but it was a token of her thought.
Later, I accidentally heard the villagers making up stories, saying that he was a traitor and that even after getting married, he still went back to his parents' home every day to get benefits for them, which was outrageous.
Tian Ge was secretly sad for a while, and his father also told him to just live a good life and not to worry about their food. He could just go home to visit more often and not take anything away.
People's hearts are hidden. What if Qin Xiong only agrees with his words but has dirty thoughts in his heart? In the end, Tian Ge will be the one who suffers and has to look at his face.
Qin Xiong didn't know about this, Tian Ge had never told him. He was just digging the ground today when he suddenly thought that Tian Ge hadn't been home for a long time.
Qin Xiong picked up the hoe and looked at Tian Ge walking briskly with a smile on her face. He felt that his decision was right.
After returning home, Tian Ge saw that the weather was good, so she decided to boil some water to wash her hair before going out. Qin Xiong naturally agreed.
While the water was boiling, Tian Ge couldn't sit still and went to the room to look for clothes to wear later.
I don't feel bad about wearing Buba's clothes outdoors.
He would go home and wear good new clothes to his father so that he and his brothers would know that he was doing well and would feel more at ease.
Not only did he finish dressing himself, he also dressed Qin Xiong, including a clean inner garment, a long coat, an outer jacket, well-fitting trousers, and clean cloth shoes and socks.
When there was nothing to do in the cold winter, Tian Ge bought new clothes for Qin Xiong from head to toe. He would mend the tattered clothes in Qin Xiong's box if they could be altered, and would tear the clothes that were too tattered to be altered into pieces of cloth to make shoe soles.
I originally wanted to just wash my hair, but as I talked to Qin Xiong, we ended up taking a bath. I filled a large wooden barrel with half hot water and washed both my hair and body.
Anyway, Qin Bao is still in the county school, so there are only the two of them at home.
It has been a while since I took a bath in a big wooden barrel. Firstly, it was troublesome to boil water. Secondly, the weather was too cold and the water cooled down very quickly. I had to use a basin and a towel to wash myself.
I washed in the kitchen today. There was a fire burning in the fire pit and the whole room was warm.
The courtyard door and the kitchen door were closed. Tian Ge sat in Qin Xiong's arms, rubbed the fragrant soap on herself, and also pulled Qin Xiong's arm to rub it on him.
The fragrant pancreas was bought by Qin Xiong when Tian Ge got married. Tian Ge usually used soap beans and was reluctant to use the fragrant pancreas.
The water ripples were floating. Qin Xiong was washing Tian Ge's hair behind her. Just as he was about to move forward and kiss her smooth back, Tian Ge suddenly turned her head, and her hair swung up, splashing water all over his face.
Tian Ge put her arm close to Qin Xiong's nose, with a smile on her lips and an excited look on her face, meaning that she wanted Qin Xiong to smell it to see if it was fragrant.
It smells so good.
His arms were as white as rice cakes and were covered in water droplets.
Qin Xiong opened his mouth and bit a mark on the slender wrist.
