Chapter 124 Explosion
Bump, bump!
Crackling!
Amid the sound of firecrackers, we bid farewell to the old year and usher in the New Year.
Although the Gregorian calendar time of the Spring Festival was January 22, 1974, which had long since seen the farewell of the old year and the welcoming of the new year, people in China still celebrate the Spring Festival, and only after New Year's Eve are they considered to have entered the first day of the new year.
On the first day of the new year, just as the sky was getting light, waves of firecrackers roared.
Qin Lingnian and Yun Ange also got up early.
Qin Lingnian didn't buy any firecrackers because he was afraid that the smell from firecrackers would be too pungent and Yun Angge couldn't stand the smell due to her severe pregnancy reaction.
There was no fish, meat, or firecrackers. Compared with other families, it didn't feel like Chinese New Year in their home.
But being able to celebrate the New Year with his young wife and welcoming a new life, Qin Lingnian felt that this year was a very happy one.
It was too noisy outside and Yun Angge couldn't sleep, so he got up with Qin Lingnian and changed into new clothes.
It was a cotton-padded jacket made of red cloth that her first and second brothers came to buy for her last time. She is not pregnant yet and you can't tell she is pregnant at all. She can wear all her old clothes.
Although she has lost a lot of weight, she is in good spirits, rarely goes out and has a fair complexion. If you don't know her, you really can't tell that she is a married woman who is pregnant.
After breakfast, the couple went out to pay New Year’s greetings.
Qin Lingnian carried the New Year's greetings prepared for the Liu, Shen, and Ding families in one hand, and held Yun Angge's hand in the other. Bathed in the New Year's sunshine, the couple chatted and laughed as they set off.
Although Yun Ange called He Yumei and Xia Fang "sisters", logically they were of the same generation and should not go to pay New Year's greetings, but Shen Qingzhu and Ding Xingguo were both in their forties, much older than Qin Lingnian, so at this age they could call them uncles and it was reasonable to pay New Year's greetings.
"Ange..." Mrs. Liu and Liu Zhenggang were seeing off guests at the door. When she saw Yun Ange, the old lady ran over happily.
"Happy New Year, mother." Yun Angge and Qin Lingnian said in unison.
"Okay!" Liu Xiaoniang smiled happily and grabbed Yun Ange's hand. "Ange, there are fireworks everywhere, and the smell is a bit pungent. Are you feeling uncomfortable?!"
Yun Ange naturally took Liu Xiaoniang's arm and pointed at the cotton mask he was wearing, "With this, I can see a lot."
Liu Xiaoniang was busy talking to Yun Angge, and didn't bother to greet Qin Lingnian. Her old man would have greeted him anyway.
"That's good. Ask Yumei to get you a few more later."
Yun Ange whispered, "Sister Yumei secretly brought a lot for you."
"Happy New Year, Mrs. Liu and Commander Liu!" The group was greeting each other warmly at the door when suddenly a clear female voice came, "Happy New Year, Captain Qin and Comrade An Ge."
Everyone looked up and saw Xie Xiaorou walking towards them with a smile. Behind her was a middle-aged man carrying two net bags filled with apples and cakes.
“Happy New Year!”
“Happy New Year!”
Everyone responded perfunctorily, and Xie Xiaorou didn't say much, and walked towards Zhao Tianzhu's house.
When they were about to reach the Zhao family's door, they saw Zhao Tianzhu coming out to see the guests off. He looked at the man behind Xie Xiaorou, frowned, and asked with a little displeasure: "Xiaorou, who is this..."
"Dad, this is Hongwei's former colleague. He has a good relationship with Hongwei and wanted to come over to wish you a happy new year."
Yun Ange didn't take Xie Xiaorou seriously at first. He was talking to Liu's mother and preparing to enter the yard. When he heard Xie Xiaorou calling him "Dad" in a crisp and sweet voice, he turned his head in shock...
Liu's mother noticed her shock and whispered, "Xie Xiaorou is pregnant and is about to give birth to a child. She moved to Zhao's house half a month ago..."
"..." Yun Ange declined to comment.
But he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, how could Xie Xiaorou love Zhao Hongwei so deeply? !
How much she lacks love!
I'm so in love with this piece of trash...
Yun Angge was not the only one who had this idea. Half of the people in the military dependents' courtyard couldn't understand why Xie Xiaorou would give birth to Zhao Hongwei's posthumous child!
And the two of them haven't gotten married yet, so they are pregnant before marriage...
You can criticize her in your heart, but this is Xie Xiaorou's choice, and no one else has the right to interfere!
After sitting at the Liu family for a while, Qin Lingnian and Yun Angge went to the Shen family and the Ding family.
Because Yun Angge's situation was special, the family did not dare to keep her for long.
After the couple returned home, Yun Angge lay on the kang, boredly flipping through the high school Chinese textbook borrowed from Shen Juanjuan, while Qin Lingnian took advantage of the good weather to wash clothes.
Today was Qin Lingnian's day off, so he didn't have to go to the military factory for duty, so he washed everything that needed to be washed at home and also cleaned the house.
His young wife loves cleanliness, especially after she became pregnant, she can't stand any strange smell. Whenever he has time, he will wash and scrub, and clean the house spotlessly.
On the first day of the new year, Yun Ange spent it in idleness and boredom, while Qin Lingnian spent it washing.
One day passed quickly.
After dinner and a few words, Qin Lingnian hugged Yun Angge, and the two fell asleep sweetly.
Bang!
Boom!
I don't know how long I slept, but a few loud noises woke up the entire military zone.
Qin Lingnian sat up suddenly, his brain started to work, and based on the sound he was sure that an explosion had occurred.
And it’s in the military area!
"Was it an explosion?" Yun Angge also sat up in fear, but his voice was relatively steady.
"Yeah!" Qin Lingnian turned on the flashlight. He didn't bother to comfort Yun Angge at this time. He quickly put on his clothes and got out of bed. He was about to run out when he suddenly stopped.
Even if his young wife was not frightened and cried, she must have been extremely panicked and scared at this time, so he couldn't leave her alone at home.
"Ange, hurry up, get up and go out with me!" Qin Lingnian quickly picked up the clothes and hurriedly put them on Yun Ange.
"Oh..." Yun Angge responded somewhat stiffly. Although she was not scared to tears, she was still quite frightened. However, with Qin Lingnian around, she felt inexplicably at ease, so she did not collapse from fear.
Yun Angge did not dare to waste time. He forced himself to remain calm, hurriedly put on his clothes and got off the kang.
Qin Lingnian took the military coat off the hanger and put it on her, then took off his locomotive cap and scarf and put them on her.
But because he was too anxious, he was wearing a thin military uniform.
When Qin Lingnian pulled Yun Angge out of the main hall, they could clearly hear the commotion outside, accompanied by the assembly whistle.
When they walked to the door, they heard a lot of people shouting...
"There was an explosion in the North District..."
"It's the family of Captain Liu and Political Commissar Shen..."
Accompanied by exclamations that were louder than the last, Qin Lingnian and Yun Angge ran towards the north district in a hurry, anxiously.
However, Yun Ange was more worried than concerned...
The first time I saw Xie Xiaorou talking to a man in the Municipal Military District Hospital, an explosion occurred in the hospital building that night!
I saw Xie Xiaorou and a man coming here yesterday, and there was an explosion in the military area in the middle of the night!
Really, is it such a coincidence? !
