Chapter 041 Hurry up and get up here!
A night passed, and when Wen Kexin woke up in the morning, she found that Song Mo was pulling his arm out from under her neck.
She was immediately filled with black lines.
"Why did you sleep with me in your arms again?"
Song Mo's ears turned red quietly, and he looked around and said, "I'm leaving the day after tomorrow!"
Wen Kexin immediately realized that this person was using the fact that he was leaving to divert attention.
The past few days, Song Mo wholeheartedly protected herself and helped his parents. The things flashed through her mind quickly like a movie. She didn't want to dwell on this little thing anymore.
"The day after tomorrow? The seven-day holiday is about to end?"
Song Mo nodded slightly.
Time flies!
With this man by her side these days, she has been feeling confident.
But what to do when he leaves?
I suddenly felt a little panicked.
Song Mo saw that his wife's face quickly became overwhelmed, so he gently patted her shoulder and said in a teasing tone: "Can't bear to leave me?"
This sentence successfully broke Wen Kexin's defense.
Rolling his eyes, he said, "You'll have to leave sooner or later. I'm the one who has lived my life..."
I thought I said it calmly, but to Song Mo it sounded a little aggrieved.
He felt as if his heart was gently scratched by a wild cat, and looked at his young wife's pale face and thin body.
I suddenly felt a dull pain in my heart, and I could only comfort her, "You are still young. When you turn 18, we will register for marriage and you can join the army. I will try to do more missions in the next few years. Not only can you earn bonuses, but your position will also continue to rise. Then you can live with pride."
No matter what the future holds, Wen Kexin felt warmed by what this man said.
At the same time, she had her own plans, and it would take another four years for her to wait for the man's protection.
Two years later, in 1977, the college entrance examination will be resumed, so it is better to make a name for yourself on your own.
Of course, she wouldn't say this, and she didn't want to discourage the other party's enthusiasm.
I just looked at him with admiring eyes and said, "Okay, I'm counting on you then!"
Song Mo was full of confidence and promised: "You will work hard at home for a few years, and I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life. After you join the army, you will have an easy life."
Regardless of whether this can be realized or not, it warms Wen Kexin's heart.
She asked with concern: "Is it dangerous for you to go on missions?"
Song Mo was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly and said, "How can there be no danger when going on a mission?"
Wen Kexin understood that the bonus and promotion he mentioned were not easy to come by, and the wound on his arm was a medal of honor left after completing the mission.
She said sincerely, "If it's dangerous, don't go and rob. I'm still at home. When you return to the army, I think I can go to the mountains to collect herbs and earn some money. Together with your allowance, it should be enough to support the family."
Song Mo was just testing his wife just now. He wanted to know what her wife thought.
The other party not only cared about his safety, but also thought about becoming self-reliant.
The young wife is pretty good!
"Do you know the herbs? Is there a place to store them after you collect them? Is this legal?"
"Last year, when I was picking mushrooms in the mountains, I met an old man who was picking herbs. He taught me several kinds of herbs. Later, I read medical books and learned a lot about medicinal herbs. When my father was in the hospital, I went to a Chinese medicine store to ask, and the town also bought medicinal herbs. You may not know that many of the wild vegetables we usually eat are medicinal herbs, such as motherwort, plantain, purslane, etc., which can all be exchanged for money."
Wen Kexin spoke lightly, deliberately omitting the preparation process, just to reassure him.
Song Mo quickly thought of something and warned him seriously, "Don't go to the mountains to collect herbs. It's too dangerous there. Just collect wild vegetables from where the villagers collect firewood. No, it's Chinese herbal medicine."
Wen Kexin cleverly changed the subject, "I see, hurry up and get up, aren't we going fishing?"
"Um!"
The two of them got up in a hurry, and Wen Kexin went to the kitchen to make dumpling soup.
The Song family has a vegetable garden in the backyard, and most of the vegetables are harvested this season.
Wen Kexin looked over and saw that the vegetable garden was planted with not only cucumbers and persimmons, but also green onions.
The cucumbers are ripe.
She knows what's going on.
When she was the only one in the kitchen making the dumpling soup, she quickly took out a cucumber and a few green onion leaves from the space.
Cut into thin strips and put into the pot and stir, the dumpling soup is ready with fragrance.
When she brought half a bowl of dumpling soup to the table, Goudan and Dani were called up by Song Mo. They had just washed up and were sitting obediently at the table waiting for dinner.
Feng Shulan had also finished washing up, and her gray hair was combed into a neat bun.
"Second son, what kind of food are you going to cook? I am going to be lazy and enjoy myself today."
"Mom, I just made some simple dumpling soup. Drink it while it's hot so that I can go catch the fish quickly."
Wen Kexin served out several bowls of dumpling soup as she spoke, and everyone started eating.
Soon, everyone tasted it and praised it unanimously.
"tasty!"
“It smells so good!”
The two kids ate and praised the food. Goudan said bluntly, "Grandma, Second Aunt's cooking is better than yours."
"It's delicious. I'll let your second aunt make it from now on."
Wen Kexin then realized that she had done something stupid. Wouldn't she become a housewife in the future?
This won’t do!
It is often said that children from poor families grow up early. She clearly remembered that the original owner started cooking when she was six or seven years old, which was about the same age as Dani.
She said patiently, "Goudan, Dani, Second Aunt has to earn money to support the family in the future, and can't rely on your Second Uncle for everything. Even though you are young, you still have to learn how to cook. There are always times when Grandma is not feeling well or Second Aunt is busy."
The two little guys were not lazy, and nodded quickly and said, "Second Aunt, we want to learn how to cook."
Song Mo also hopes that his nieces and nephews will develop good habits of diligence from an early age.
Must support the young wife!
He said seriously, "Goudan, Dani, your second aunt is right. Although you are young, you should do what you can at home."
The two children nodded in agreement sensibly.
After breakfast, Song Mo carried a bucket and walked towards the riverside with the two children and Wen Kexin.
Wen Kexin muttered to herself: I thought I had a fishing net at home, how can I catch fish with a bucket?
To be honest, she had never caught fish. Yesterday, she saw Fa Cai and a few other little guys with their trouser legs rolled up, obviously going into the river fork to catch fish. Could it be that Song Mo also caught fish in the same way?
Soon after, Song Mo brought them to a bend in the river, took off his rubber shoes and socks, rolled up his trouser legs and said to them, "Wait for me on the shore, and don't come down."
Wen Kexin and the two little ones nodded in agreement.
Song Mo then walked into the water. The water was not deep, only up to his knees.
He moved stones to build a temporary dam, and then drained the water out of the dam.
Wen Kexin immediately understood that he wanted to drain the water out of the dam.
This is the bend of the river. Once the water is drained, the trapped fish will be exposed.
This is a good idea!
The location was also well chosen, once again showing that this man is a rough but meticulous person.
Half an hour later, big and small fish jumped up from time to time in the fenced area, and the people on the shore became excited and nervous.
Goudan and Dani jumped and cheered from time to time.
Wen Kexin couldn't bear it any longer, so she quickly took off her shoes, rolled up her trouser legs, and quietly walked into the water.
When she saw a fat crucian carp the size of a palm, her eyes suddenly lit up and she stretched out her hands to catch it.
When she felt the slippery and fat thing in her hand, she shouted in surprise: "I caught it..."
Before she could finish her words, the fish in her hand struggled desperately. As she shouted, the fish finally rushed out and fell into the muddy water, exposing her feet. She was so happy that she turned to sorrow, and a lot of mud spots splattered all over her body.
Song Mozhe, who was scooping water, discovered that his young wife had disobeyed and gone into the water.
His face suddenly darkened, his brows knitted tightly, and he cursed angrily: "Why did you come down? Hurry up and get up here!"
