The next morning, Yin Xiaoman was awakened by the sound of a military bugle call.
She sat on the bed for a long time, and for a moment she felt as if she had lost track of what year it was.
After tucking the quilt into Erniu, she quietly got out of bed.
As soon as I went out, I ran into Shen Qingyun, who was dressed neatly and was about to go out.
Seeing her come out, Shen Qingyun was stunned for a moment: "Did I wake you up? You will get used to it slowly. The wake-up call will ring every day. It's still early now, you can sleep a little longer. I will bring breakfast back after I finish running."
Yin Xiaoman was worried last night and didn't fall asleep until late at night. He is still a little confused now.
She didn't know how much of Shen Qingyun's words she had heard, and could only nod randomly.
But after the man left, she couldn't sleep anymore.
After washing her face with some water, she finally woke up a little and decided to sort out the bags that she had not had time to pack yesterday.
After all, it’s not a good idea to put them all in the living room.
When I opened the first package, I found a bag of millet and soybeans inside. She couldn't help but laugh at what she saw.
Actually, there weren’t many things in the luggage before. She kept the heavy ones in her room inside the palace.
I just put the light items that take up a lot of space, such as cotton-padded clothes and pants, pots and bowls, outside, so that I would have a reason to take out some smuggled goods in the future.
But as soon as she got off the train, she heard Shen Qingyun's complaints. In a fit of irritation, she simply switched things in the room and her bag while those people weren't paying attention.
The heaviest rice, flour and coarse grains replaced cotton wool and cloth.
I guess these people were exhausted when they left the station yesterday?
But she didn't want the man to know about this.
Just now, as both children were still asleep and she was the only one at home, Yin Xiaoman decided to pack up all the luggage.
These luggages that were a big hassle for the three grown men were no problem at all for Yin Xiaoman.
She didn't even have to carry them to put them where they belonged.
She gathered the bags of grain on the ground together, put them back into the space, and then walked empty-handed to the kitchen built in the yard.
As soon as she entered the kitchen, she was stunned, and then she cursed Shen Qingyun in her heart without hesitation!
Just looking at the end of the kitchen, there was nothing there except a few packages brought in yesterday. How could he have the nerve to send a telegram saying that everything was ready?
So they weren't prepared to open fire at all?
No wonder he said so naturally that he would bring back food. If he didn't, wouldn't the whole family go hungry? !
Yin Xiaoman has been working in the imperial kitchen for many years and has always been very particular about food.
What I hate most in my life is people cheating on food.
Even in Shuanggui Village, when she first arrived there, the situation was so difficult, she still tried every possible way to improve the food.
But now, looking around the room, there are only a few pairs of chopsticks, a few bowls, and two lunch boxes, but not even a pot!
How could she not become increasingly angry?
Yin Xiaoman didn't care about anything else and took out the pots and bowls he had brought from his bag.
After taking a walk around the yard, she managed to find some firewood in the corner behind the house, which comforted her a little.
He lit the fire, took out the fine corn grits that he had previously processed with a stone mill, and cooked a pot of porridge first.
Then heat up the wild vegetable dumplings that were not finished.
After thinking about it, he was afraid that it was not enough, so he cooked another egg for each person.
These eggs were saved by Zhang Jinfeng for her, and she had put them in her room in the palace before.
The weather is still cool now, so the food is not likely to go bad easily. I took it out and said that I had cooked it earlier and was going to eat it on the road. At least I could fool people.
As soon as Shen Qingyun finished the exercise, he was about to run back, but before he had taken a few steps, he was grabbed by the instructor Qi Feng.
"Why, now that my wife is here, have you developed such a fast running ability? Why haven't I seen you run so fast normally?"
Qi Feng and Shen Qingyun have been working together for more than a year. They work in perfect harmony and have a good relationship privately.
Especially since Qi Feng is a few years older than Shen Qingyun, he has already started a family, and his wife also came with the army.
So I usually take good care of him in daily life.
Hearing him say this, Shen Qingyun didn't feel embarrassed at all.
He broke free from Qi Feng and grabbed his sleeve, without any intention of stopping.
"I'm in a hurry to get my lunch box home! If I delay those bald guys and they grab all the food, I'll take my wife and kids to your house to eat! If we run out of food, I'll kick you out, so don't blame me for not reminding you!"
Having said that, Shen Qingyun paused subconsciously.
He was also a little puzzled. How come he could speak so fluently when talking about his wife and children? There wasn't even a single stumble.
Moreover, after saying it, I felt very comfortable in my heart.
Qi Feng was so angry that he almost laughed when he was blamed by him like this.
He pointed at Shen Qingyun with his hand and said, "Just keep talking nonsense to me! If you get angry, I won't remind you of anything. I'll see if you make your wife angry and leave, and continue to be single!"
These words finally made Shen Qingyun stop.
Seeing him stop, Qi Feng did not continue chasing him.
Instead, he took two steps closer to him and said with a serious face, "Your sister-in-law kept telling me yesterday that I must remember to tell you and your wife about Dabao and the others' life stories as soon as possible.
It is said that a couple would never deceive and hide things from each other in their life.
Besides, your Xiao Yin has to go out sometime, and the backgrounds of the two children are no secret in the camp.
It's different when you say it and when she hears it from someone else.
Don’t let your good daughter-in-law run away because of this. ”
Hearing him say this, Shen Qingyun couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"I already know. Dabao called me godfather as soon as we met yesterday."
After hearing this, Qi Feng was stunned. It was obvious that he had never expected such a thing to happen.
Then he immediately became nervous: "What did your Xiao Yin say? Didn't she make a scene?"
"No." Shen Qingyun shook his head.
"I told her everything last night and why I kept it from her, but she wasn't angry."
"Oh, this is a good wife to marry. She is very understanding and righteous!" Qi Feng was immediately happy when he heard him say that.
He patted Shen Qingyun's shoulder vigorously and said, "It seems that Xiao Yin still has feelings for you, otherwise how could a little girl be willing to do this!
Qingyun, you have to be nice to others from now on and control your stubborn temper. Otherwise, if your wife runs away, you will never find her again. ”
Shen Qingyun didn't say anything, but there was a gleam of something indescribable in his eyes.
It is true that I am willing to be nice to them, but it is hard to say whether I have any feelings for them.
As for whether or not you can keep it, then...
Shen Qingyun didn't want to think too much. He pulled down Qi Feng's hand that was on his shoulder and glared at him.
"Don't talk to me so earnestly, as if you are my father. Even my father doesn't talk so much nonsense as you! Okay, is there anything else? I really have to go back to get food!"
"You are such an ungrateful person!"
Qi Feng nodded at him angrily and said, "Go quickly. By the way, tell Xiao Yin to come to our house for dinner after you are done with your work for the past two days! I'll ask your sister-in-law to make some steamed bean curd!"
Because of Qi Feng's interruption, it was already a little late when Shen Qingyun got home.
The call for dinner was sounded outside.
He couldn't help but quicken his pace, fearing that after going back and forth like this, there would be nothing to eat when he arrived at the cafeteria.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he stopped.
He seemed a little bit unbelievable and sniffed again.
Then, he walked directly towards the kitchen.
The army had little of anything but lots of land, so all the rooms in the yard were built relatively large.
The kitchen alone is nearly 20 square meters. In addition to the stove and cupboards, there is also a large square table that can seat eight people.
That's it, and it's quite loose.
But before, Shen Qingyun was the only one living in this house, and for him, it was just a place to sleep.
What's more, he usually checks on people at night and is on duty most of the time, so he only comes to stay in this yard a few times a month.
So much so that except for one bedroom, all other rooms were empty.
It was only after knowing that Yin Xiaoman agreed to join the army that he went to the barracks office to borrow some furniture to fill the room.
As for the stuff, Shen Qingyun knew it was not complete.
So, when Shen Qingyun pushed open the kitchen door and saw the two little guys sitting obediently at the table, guarding a table full of delicious food, waiting for dinner to start, he was really stunned.
Seeing him come in, Yin Xiaoman was not surprised, and didn't even turn her head. She just said naturally: "Wait a moment, I think the rice may not be enough, so I made two more pancakes. They will be ready soon. Sit aside and wait for a while."
Shen Qingyun glanced at the steaming porridge on the table, then looked at the woman who was busy at the stove with her back to them. He felt that this kind of scene of a family being together should only appear in dreams.
"Okay." He agreed blankly, not knowing who he was answering.
Then he obediently sat down on the stool next to Dabao, but his eyes never left the busy figure.
At this moment, Shen Qingyun felt that even if he was dreaming, he had never dared to have such a wonderful dream.
Yin Xiaoman brought the baked pancakes to the table and sat down next to Erniu.
Seeing that she was sitting steadily, the two children smiled at her at the same time and picked up their chopsticks.
"Eat it."
After Yin Xiaoman finished speaking, he picked up the serving chopsticks beside him, put a vegetable dumpling in each of the empty bowls in front of the two children, and then picked one for himself.
After seeing her take a light bite of the vegetable dumpling, the two children happily picked up their own and started eating.
Shen Qingyun looked at this scene and felt a little dumbfounded.
He joined the army early, and Yin Xiaoman was much younger than him, so he had actually had no contact with her before.
I just knew that there was such a family in the village, and I also knew that the girl was the only daughter in the family. She had been loved since childhood, had a high spirit, and was a rare cultured person.
But he had no idea that she was not only pampered and cultured, but she also lived such a sophisticated life!
Look at the food on this table...
Also, when a family eats together, they actually use serving chopsticks?
That’s called serving chopsticks, right? !
Shen Qingyun suddenly had a headache.
He remembered what Gao Chong said on the phone, how his sister-in-law bullied Yin Xiaoman and made things difficult for her, and he suddenly felt sweat starting to break out on his forehead.
What kind of woman did he marry?
How did he leave her alone at home without hesitation...
She must have suffered a lot of injustice.
Thinking of this, Shen Qingyun felt even more guilty.
He felt that he might really not be able to keep this young wife.
Yin Xiaoman swallowed the vegetable ball in her mouth, and then she realized that the man opposite her was staring at her blankly, not saying a word and not eating.
She was stunned for a moment.
His eyes moved between his own and the child's bowls, then landed on the empty bowl in front of him.
Is he complaining that she didn't serve him food?
Yin Xiaoman frowned, and after hesitating for a long time, she finally picked up the serving chopsticks, put a vegetable ball into the man's bowl, and said, "Eat it."
Shen Qingyun looked at the dumplings in the bowl, and for a moment his heart was filled with an indescribable feeling of loss.
"From now on, I will go to the canteen to get meals. You don't have to cook. You can read a book when you have time.
Although I don’t know when school will resume classes, don’t worry, I won’t forget what I promised you.
When classes resume, you can go back if you want. If you don’t want to go back, I can help you find a place to study in Haicheng to finish the remaining half year of high school…”
Yin Xiaoman didn't hear what Shen Qingyun said next.
As he spoke, a group of images flashed quickly before her eyes, and she suddenly recalled what Shen Qingyun had said to the original owner before they got the marriage certificate.
At that time, the original owner's mother had just passed away not long ago, and her father went to the old branch secretary to entrust his son to her in front of her. One can imagine how panicked he was inside.
She couldn't possibly refuse the marriage against her father's wishes, but she was unwilling to do so.
After all, at that time, she was still determined to get into college.
So, when she met Shen Qingyun, she poured out all her thoughts to him.
The original owner had no ill intentions and did not want to force the other party to agree to anything.
It's just that she was raised too simply by her parents since she was a child, and she habitually doesn't know how to hide her thoughts.
If she had met anyone else, the marriage would have been called off on the spot. After all, no one would marry a wife who is not at home and is only thinking about pursuing a career every day.
But the person she met was Shen Qingyun.
Shen Qingyun was actually a little reluctant to marry Yin Xiaoman under such circumstances.
As a young soldier, he had simple and upright thoughts.
I always feel that using such an opportunity to let an eighteen-year-old girl become a stepmother to two children is a bit of taking advantage of someone's misfortune.
So the two people easily reached an agreement.
Shen Qingyun promised the original owner that as long as the college entrance examination was restored, he would let her go no matter how difficult it was to dissolve the military marriage, and he would clear all the obstacles;
The original owner promised to do her best to help him take care of the child before leaving.
Finally, Shen Qingyun also took the initiative to offer her ten yuan every month as a reward for raising the child.
...Yin Xiaoman finally understood everything now.
She understood the inexplicable words Shen Qingyun said yesterday.
I also understood why the original owner did not forget to take out the two non-biological children even though she was so angry when she was kicked out of the house by Zhang Chunxia.
They are all fulfilling their promises seriously.
It's a pity that fate plays tricks on us.
Shen Qingyun died before he could send the heroine to school, and the heroine gave up her life in despair because she failed to fulfill her promise.
Thinking of this, Yin Xiaoman, who always thought he had become cold-hearted, couldn't help but feel sad for the two people in the past.
Shen Qingyun talked for a long time, but the person on the other side didn't respond at all, which made him somewhat unhappy.
It feels like putting your warm face on someone's cold butt, which is bound to make people feel bad.
"Did you hear what I said?" His voice couldn't help but become a little colder.
"How much is your monthly salary now?" Yin Xiaoman suddenly asked.
Shen Qingyun never thought that she would ask such a question.
Suddenly, my breath got stuck in my throat and I couldn't speak for a long time.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Yin Xiaoman couldn't help but raise his head: "Can't I ask?"
"no."
Shen Qingyun waved his hand quickly: "You can ask, I just didn't react at the moment. Thirty-seven dollars and fifty cents, I guess it can be raised to a higher level after the Chinese New Year, and then it will be almost forty."
In Shen Qingyun's heart, this girl wished she could distance herself from him as much as possible. He really couldn't understand why she suddenly became concerned about his salary?
But no matter what, she is still his wife now, so it is natural for her to know these things. So he didn't hide anything and answered frankly.
Yin Xiaoman nodded, and then began to calculate: "Every month you have to send ten yuan back to your parents, and give me ten yuan, so there will only be seventeen and a half yuan left.
Do you think these ten or so dollars are enough for the food and drink, clothing, expenses, and various other expenses of a family of four? Is it possible that in less than half a month the whole family will have to eat black noodle dumplings with you? ”
As a former head nanny, Yin Xiaoman didn't have to think about this little account at all.
Although she didn't know the price of food in the army, she had found out the national grain purchase price.
With the purchase price there, the price of canteen meals will only increase, not decrease.
Even if Shen Qingyun received food subsidies, they did not.
If we eat the meal we had yesterday, the seventeen dollars would be enough to last us until the middle of the month, and she was exaggerating.
Shen Qingyun was a little embarrassed.
He didn't expect that on the first day of their relationship, he would be unable to answer questions from his wife.
"Well, I still have some savings, so I won't let you guys eat black noodles."
Yin Xiaoman glanced at him in dissatisfaction: "Don't you have any savings at home? What if something urgent happens?"
Seeing Shen Qingyun's embarrassed look, she didn't want to argue with him anymore, so she just said calmly: "Give me the food money from now on, and eat at home."
After saying that, she buried her head in drinking porridge without even looking at him.
"Okay." Shen Qingyun agreed, and felt extremely relaxed both physically and mentally!
As the head of a battalion, no one has ordered him to do anything in such a tone for many years, but when Shen Qingyun heard it, it made sweet bubbles rise from the bottom of his heart.
There are also people willing to manage his money!
