Chapter 143 Living in Qi Zheng's House
"Qin Xiaonian, you..." Liu Zhenggang was so excited and happy that his voice was particularly loud, but before he could finish his words, he was scolded by Aunt Liu.
"Be quiet, don't scare Ange..."
"Yes, yes...be quiet..." Liu Zhenggang lowered his voice, but the force that hit Qin Xiaonian's shoulder was very heavy, "Okay, you really are silent..."
Ding Xingguo raised his fist with envy, and hit Qin Xiaonian's waist twice, "In a few months, when the baby is born, you will become a celebrity in our Ninth Military Region..."
Liu Zhenggang interrupted excitedly, "It's not just our military district, I guess the whole military will be shocked..."
Here, Auntie Liu and the other female comrades surrounded Yun Angge, asking about his well-being and advising him one after another... From now on, he should be careful when walking and not bump into anything, work less and eat more, and he could ask them for any chores at home, and he could be polite if he wanted to eat something, just tell them and they would prepare it and bring it to him...
They talked for a while in the cool breeze, and finally Aunt Liu suddenly realized that it was too cold, so she hurriedly urged Yun Angge to get in the car and let Qin Wangnian drive away first.
However, no one, whether it was Qin Wannian and his wife or the Liu, Shen, or Ding couples, told anyone about this happy event, not even to their own children.
Anyway, whether we tell it or not, everyone will know it when the day comes.
That night, Yun Angge slept soundly and beautifully, but Qin Nian tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
It's not just joy and excitement, but more of worry and heartache.
Although he had never given birth to a child, he had heard that giving birth was not only difficult but also dangerous. Moreover, his wife wanted to give birth to a child in one go...
Oh, if only men could give birth to children!
However, in the provincial capital of Heyuan Province, thousands of miles away, Qin's mother was tossing and turning just like Qin Nian.
Of course, Mother Qin didn't know that Yun Angge was pregnant with twins. The reason she couldn't sleep was because she was in the provincial capital at the time.
This is her hometown.
29 years ago, when she was as young as the bright moon, her home was bombed by Japanese pirates, and her family and millions of her compatriots lost their lives.
Fortunately, she managed to save half her life from the ruins, and followed her elder brother Qin, who also crawled out of the ruins, begging all the way to Dongyi County and Daqin Village.
There, she forced herself to forget her fear, her relatives, her pain, and to grit her teeth and live well.
Because of Brother Qin's care and love, and later she devoted herself to her children, for a long time she almost forgot everything about the provincial capital.
However, I suddenly returned to my hometown after 29 years, and all the past events came to my mind again...
Even though the changes in the provincial capital made her feel that this was a strange place, even though she was just a passer-by now, she still felt a little bit of familiarity when walking on those strange streets.
Although the familiarity is not much, it can tear her heart apart!
Mother Qin stood by the window, looking at the deep night outside, unconsciously recalling the past, her face full of fine wrinkles wet and dry, until her eyes were so painful that she couldn't open them, she sighed a few times and returned to bed.
After a short nap, Qin's mother woke up, and it was just getting light.
She gently pushed Qin Mingyue and called softly, "Mingyue, wake up, it will be dawn soon."
Qin Mingyue stretched and rubbed her sleepy eyes. It was a while before she opened her eyes. When she saw the unfamiliarity of the room, she realized belatedly that she was not in her own home.
It's the home of Brother 놇's comrade-in-arms.
A week ago, her eldest brother sent a telegram to the family, saying that his comrades would come to pick them up in a few days and then go to the army together.
This Brother Qi came to her house after lunch yesterday. She and her mother packed their luggage early in the morning and asked the team leader to issue a letter of introduction. After they loaded their luggage onto the car, they were sent out.
It was just that it was already dark when we arrived in the provincial capital, and we searched two guest houses but neither had any rooms. I heard from the staff that many people came to the provincial capital for meetings in the past few days, and the rooms are very tight.
Later, Brother Qi took the mother and daughter to his house to stay for one night.
Since this was not her own home, Qin Mingyue did not dare to sleep in. She sat up yawning.
At this time, Qin's mother had already gotten out of bed and put on her shoes. Qin Mingyue climbed to the head of the bed, picked up the coat on the chair, and put it on while yawning.
Although she would wear pajamas like the city people when she slept after her sister-in-law taught her how to make them, other families didn't pay so much attention to it. She only took off her outer coat and kept the rest of her clothes on.
After putting on her clothes and shoes and getting out of bed, Qin Mingyue used her hands as a comb to comb her messy hair and braided it into two new pigtails. When she was about to ask her mother what she was going to do next, she saw that she had already opened the big black bag, took out the fine cotton bag containing steamed buns, and picked up an egg from the bag containing rice.
"Mingyue, make the bed. I'm going to the kitchen to make breakfast." Mother Qin said, then went away with the cotton bag and eggs.
Last night when Qi's mother went to the kitchen to cook, she went to help. Although the Qi family lived in a Western-style building, they also had a clay stove, so making breakfast was just a piece of cake for them.
The guest rooms are on the first floor, and the whole family lives on the second floor.
Seeing that it was very quiet downstairs, Qin's mother tiptoed into the kitchen and began to work carefully.
Qin Mingyue folded the bed in the room and put the chair back to its original position. After walking around the room and finding nothing to do, she went to help her mother make breakfast.
However, Qin Mingyue bumped into Qi's mother who was coming downstairs just after she left the room. She bowed and greeted her, "Aunt Qi... Good morning, Aunt Qi..."
Her mother said that people in the city don’t call others “grandpa” or “auntie”, they call them “uncle” and “auntie” instead.
Seeing Miss Xiao's awkward and flustered look, Mother Qi did not dislike her at all, and smiled gently, "Mingyue, don't be so nervous. If you want to call me Auntie, just call me Auntie."
Qin Mingyue blushed slightly and smiled a little unselfishly, "Okay, Aunt Qi."
Qi's mother went downstairs with a smile, "The supply and marketing cooperative is not open yet. I will buy you toothbrushes and toothpaste when it opens."
Although she had only met Qi's mother twice, every time she smiled kindly and spoke in a casual manner. Qin Mingyue gradually became less nervous and afraid.
"Auntie, don't bother you. My mother and I brought toothbrushes and toothpaste."
"Okay." Mother Qi smiled and went to the kitchen.
Qin Mingyue was stunned for a moment, then turned back to the guest room, searched her luggage for her and her mother's toothbrush, toothpaste and teacup, and prepared to go to the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth.
Last night, Aunt Qi taught her how to turn on the water and flush the toilet.
Alas, the city is different from the village. Water comes out as soon as you turn on the faucet. The same goes for the toilet. You can flush it away after using it. It is very clean and has no smell.
