After listening to their sister's words, Yueqiang and Yuehu deeply understood a truth: studying is the kingly way, and everything else is just blind guessing.
Huang Yuelan took the children to have a great time in the county town, slept comfortably at night, and returned to their home the next day.
When we get home we don't sit idle either. We clean the room together, commonly known as sweeping the dust, to get rid of the old and welcome the new.
The children were also very helpful. Except for the fourth and fifth children who did not work but made poop, the other children all helped with the work.
After a day of tidying up, the yard was cleaned very cleanly inside and out. Even the dust on the beams and walls was removed, and the air in the house exuded a clean smell.
After a busy day, Huang Yuelan and the children were exhausted, so after dinner, they washed the pots and dishes, rested for a while, and went to bed early.
In the middle of the night, Huang Yuelan suddenly heard a noise at the door, not the main door, but the door to the wing room.
Huang Yuelan immediately became alert. She didn't dare to scream loudly because the children were right next to her. She had to think of a way to protect the children and herself.
Huang Yuelan first covered Xiao Si and Xiao Wu with a blanket to prevent people coming in from noticing that there were children in the room. Then Huang Yuelan quickly stood up, picked up the wooden stick behind the door, and slowly walked to the door.
Wang Jianguo finally slowly opened the door bolt. As soon as he walked into the house, Huang Yuelan hit him on the head with a stick, and he saw stars.
"Yuelan, it's me!" Wang Jianguo said in pain. He didn't expect that his wife was so strong now. Fortunately, he was in good health and exercised every day in the army, so this stick was nothing. However, if it hit an ordinary person on the head, he would faint on the spot.
When she heard the voice, Huang Yuelan knew that the man in front of her was indeed Wang Jianguo, because the voice was so familiar.
"Maybe I missed my husband too much, I actually dreamed that he came home in the middle of the night. Is this a dream?" Wang Jianguo had written a letter to Huang Yuelan before, in which he clearly told her that he couldn't go home for the New Year this year, but the man in front of her, no matter his voice or figure, he was Wang Jianguo! This was a bit unbelievable.
Wang Jianguo touched his head and said helplessly, "Yuelan, you are not dreaming, it is really me! I was temporarily transferred to another place and happened to pass by our county, so I asked for leave from my leader and came back to see you and the child."
Hearing this, Huang Yuelan immediately became very happy. The man in front of her was indeed Wang Jianguo.
"Brother Jianguo, is it really you?! Great! Did it hurt when you were hit with the stick just now? Let me see." Huang Yuelan walked forward swiftly. She had just complained that she did not have enough strength, but now she regretted why she used so much strength. What if she accidentally knocked Wang Jianguo unconscious?
Wang Jianguo grabbed Huang Yuelan's hand: "It's okay, it doesn't hurt at all."
"Are you lying to me? You used so much force just now, how could you be okay?" Afraid that Wang Jianguo was fooling her, Huang Yuelan lit the kerosene lamp and took a look in the light. She was relieved only after making sure that there was no bleeding or blueing.
"Why didn't you knock on the door? It was the middle of the night. I thought it was someone with bad intentions." Huang Yuelan was really scared just now.
Wang Jianguo showed an embarrassed look on his face. This was really unfair to him. Why didn't he call anyone just now? He called his wife Yuelan, then Yuelan called Yueqiang, then Yueqiang called Yuehu. But no matter how many times he called, no one paid attention to him, and no one came to open the door.
What should I do? I can't let him wait outside the gate all night, otherwise his leave tonight would be in vain.
Although the courtyard wall was quite high, it was no problem for Wang Jianguo. He jumped over the wall and into the yard in no time.
"Yuelan, I called you, but you were asleep and didn't hear it." Wang Jianguo explained patiently.
Huang Yuelan knew that everyone was very tired from cleaning and taking care of the children during the day, so everyone slept very soundly. That’s why she didn’t hear Wang Jianguo knocking on the door, causing such a big mistake.
"Then you have asked your boss for a few days off. Can you spend the New Year with us?" Huang Yuelan looked at Wang Jianguo with great anticipation. Feeling the chill outside, Huang Yuelan closed the door for fear that the child would be frozen.
Wang Jianguo knew that Huang Yuelan must have asked this because she hoped that he could spend the New Year with her and her children, but the reality disappointed her: "We are just passing through. We have to rush to other provinces at dawn."
"So you can only stay for one night?" Huang Yuelan was so happy to see Wang Jianguo just now. She didn't expect the separation to come so soon. She couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
Wang Jianguo nodded, "Well, maybe I'll have to rush back before dawn."
"Then take a look at the fourth and fifth children in our family. They have grown up so much." Wang Jianguo had been away from home for so long. Huang Yuelan knew that he must miss his sons very much, so she lifted the blanket, and immediately two extremely cute little faces were revealed.
The sleeping child looks very adorable.
Wang Jianguo gently touched the children's faces and tucked in the corners of their quilts, his eyes full of the kindness of an old father.
"Wife, you've worked hard." Wang Jianguo knew that his wife was taking care of seven or eight children at home alone, and it was very tiring.
In fact, my wife is not very old, just in her early twenties. However, for her own sake, she became pregnant, gave birth, breastfed, became pregnant, gave birth, and raised children when she was a teenager... Now she is the mother of five children. Wang Jianguo is very grateful to Huang Yuelan and loves her very much.
Huang Yuelan: "It's not hard, it's not hard. I feel very happy to be able to accompany my children every day. You have to go back early tomorrow morning, so go to bed early."
Wang Jianguo didn't say anything. He got out of bed and blew out the kerosene lamp. The room immediately returned to its original darkness.
After blowing out the lights, Wang Jianguo returned to the bed and hugged Huang Yuelan tightly.
"Wife, I miss you. I really miss you, every day and every night." Wang Jianguo said deeply and then turned his longing into action.
Waiting for the dawn of the next day, when the roosters in the yard just crowed for the first time, around four o'clock, Huang Yuelan turned over and prepared to put her arm on Wang Jianguo.
But it was empty! Huang Yuelan opened her eyes and found that Wang Jianguo was gone.
This gave Huang Yuelan a momentary illusion that everything that happened last night was just a dream.
When Huang Yuelan saw the snacks left by Wang Jianguo and a ladies' watch on the bedside table, she realized that last night was not a dream.
Huang Yuelan remembered that Wang Jianguo said he had asked for a whole night off last night, so she must have included the time for the round trip.
Even if there is a car, it will take an hour or two to go back and forth. It is really not easy for him to see her. Huang Yuelan was deeply moved.
