Seeing her anxious, Cui Yan realized that she had said something wrong.
In fact, she was too panicked.
After all, ever since she knew Ning Gong and Hua Gong, she has been instilled with too many words such as "pillars of the country", "old experts", "national treasures", and "must be well protected" by the people around her. She was respectful and in awe of the two elders.
But now, such a person is actually being isolated and investigated? !
Such a reversal made Cui Yan feel that her three views were shattered, so when she saw Yin Xiaoman, she didn't have time to think too much and told him the news first.
But when she saw Yin Xiaoman's expression, she realized that Xiaoman's relationship with the two old people was much closer than hers. I was just confused when I heard the news, but this girl should be scared, right?
"Don't be afraid, Xiaoman. Your brother Qi has already gone to the group for a meeting. We are still unclear about the situation right now, but nothing should happen. Besides, even if something does happen, it has nothing to do with you. You are just a family member, what can you know?
Besides, it wasn't you who took the initiative to ask those two elders to live with you at your house. It was arranged by the camp, don't you think? Don’t worry, even if we have an interview, we won’t find you…”
The more Cui Yan persuaded him, the heavier Yin Xiaoman's heart became, and he felt more and more how serious the matter was.
After such a long period of contact, she also got to know Cui Yan. Although Mrs. Cui has a cheerful personality, she is not a talkative person.
Like now, she repeated the same words over and over again. Rather than trying to comfort herself, Yin Xiaoman could feel that she was probably too panicked and was using these words to convince herself.
Looking at Cui Yan's appearance, Yin Xiaoman felt that the situation might be more serious than he had imagined.
I'm afraid that Qi Feng's so-called meeting in the group is actually the interview that Sister Cui mentioned?
The storm is coming.
When the time really came, Yin Xiaoman was no longer panicked.
She was nervous and afraid before because she still had some hope that things would change.
But now that things have reached a point where I can't solve them, what's the point of panicking?
Yin Xiaoman lowered her eyes to hide the bitterness that flashed across her eyes.
It seems that she is really destined to be alone!
Whether in the previous life or this life.
She originally thought that God gave her this chance again because he wanted her to live a peaceful and smooth life, but now it seems that she was just asking for too much.
If that's the case, then stop causing harm to others.
Yin Xiaoman has been busy these days. She has already found out what to do if one's family background is not good so as not to implicate others.
It is said that all you need to do is write a divorce statement severing the marital relationship.
Yin Xiaoman knew that Shen Qingyun would definitely not write this statement. But precisely because of this, she couldn't let that man be a burden.
She has always been good at taking care of herself, and she has her own space. Yin Xiaoman believes that even if she leaves here, she will not starve to death no matter where she goes.
It's just that - she will never have a home again.
Thinking of this, a heat welled up in her eyes, but her heart slowly calmed down.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Cui Yan felt extremely regretful. He just felt that his words had frightened the little girl, so he explained even more.
Seeing that she was so anxious that she was sweating, Yin Xiaoman couldn't bear to let her continue to be so earnest, so he stood up and prepared to say goodbye.
But just as she stood up and hadn't said the words to leave, the door curtain was lifted and Qi Feng walked in.
He probably didn't expect Yin Xiaoman to be here. He was stunned for a moment when he looked at her, then smiled.
"Xiao Man is here to chat with your sister-in-law? Sit down!"
Although he was smiling, his smile was filled with fatigue that could not be concealed.
Seeing him come in, Cui Yan seemed relieved, but immediately became nervous again. She didn't even close her eyes to Yin Xiaoman and asked repeatedly, "What did I ask you to do? What's going on with Engineer Ning? What's going on?"
Qi Feng glanced at her and immediately realized that Yin Xiaoman also knew these things.
But he didn't want to say anything to his wife. It was impossible to hide such things anyway, and there was no point in keeping it secret.
"The specific situation is not clear yet, but it is said that they are currently strictly investigating overseas relations. So some people suggested that Ning Gong and Hua Lao were not suitable for important positions, so they were transferred. You also know their previous jobs...so the control now is also for the purpose of declassifying."
After hearing what he said, Cui Yan immediately got angry and started to curse: "Saying that Ning Gong and Mr. Hua have overseas connections? That's bullshit!
Who doesn’t know that both of them responded to the country’s call, gave up their generous treatment abroad and returned to their country to make contributions?
We originally invited them back from abroad, and now you are saying that they have overseas connections? Is this something a human would do? How come they have finished talking about everything? ! ”
Qi Feng pursed his lips and didn't respond, but he didn't stop Cui Yan from cursing.
Obviously, he was holding these words in his heart and couldn't say them.
After hearing these words, Yin Xiaoman felt even colder. But she came here today just to find Qi Feng, and now that they had met, she naturally had to ask about the investigation letter mentioned in the old branch secretary's letter.
After hearing what Yin Xiaoman said, Qi Feng's face became even uglier.
He opened his mouth, but ended up letting out a long sigh: "Xiao Yin, let's put this aside for now. The investigation letter is just the idea of your team leaders, and it's not certain that those people will really send it out. Let's talk about it after they actually send it out."
Hearing that he was actually playing dumb with Yin Xiaoman, Cui Yan immediately became furious. She didn't care about being in front of others and kicked Qi Feng in the calf.
"How can you talk like that? Are you so unconcerned about Xiaoman's affairs? What are you waiting for? Just do it for her if you can!"
After hearing what his wife said, Qi Feng became furious. The anger that had been accumulating in the group today could no longer be suppressed.
Instructor Qi, who was always cautious in his words and actions and always kept calm, also blushed. He slammed the table and yelled at Cui Yan, "Why are you shouting? Are you afraid that others can't hear you? How could I not worry about Xiao Yin's affairs? But what's the point of worrying about anything now!"
It was rare to see him get angry. Not only Yin Xiaoman, but even Cui Yan was so scared that she didn't dare to say a word.
Fortunately, Qi Feng calmed down immediately and softened his tone.
He looked at Yin Xiaoman and said apologetically, "Xiao Yin, it's not that I'm trying to shirk responsibility, it's just that the timing is too unfortunate. Liu Chuang has been transferred back."
"Liu Chuang has been transferred back. Who is Liu Chuang?" Cui Yan was confused.
Without waiting for Qi Feng to explain, Yin Xiaoman said, "It was Ning Gong's assistant, the one who had an argument with me at the door before."
Cui Yan knew what she meant when she heard her say that. She was so angry that her face wrinkled. "Why did he stay in Province C? Why did he transfer back to us? But he's not a soldier. Even if he was transferred here, what does it have to do with Xiaoman's affairs?"
What Cui Yan asked was exactly what Yin Xiaoman wanted to ask. She also looked at Qi Feng with a puzzled look on her face.
"Ning Gong is under control, so naturally he doesn't need any assistants. I don't know how Liu Chuang managed to get the position of director of our county's revolutionary committee."
When Qi Feng talked about this person, his tone was full of undisguised contempt.
"Speaking of which, the Revolutionary Committee has nothing to do with our camp, but Xiao Yin's case had to go through them. You don't go out, so you don't understand the current situation. The big investigation that Xiao Yin just mentioned is not just in their hometown, this investigation is nationwide.
This is a measure taken by the country because the spies and secret agents in the country are too rampant.
This survey project is under the charge of local revolutionary committees. Regarding Xiao Yin's case, the general procedure is that the Revolutionary Committee in her hometown sends a letter to our county Revolutionary Committee, stating the person to be investigated, and then the Revolutionary Committee here sends someone to contact the person in charge of external relations in our Youth League Headquarters, and then they verify together, write up an investigation opinion, and finally transfer it back to her hometown. ”
Having said that, Qi Feng paused, with an ambiguous expression in his eyes.
He seemed a little angry and a little helpless. He took a deep breath before continuing, "That Lin Hui is the one you all know. She has been transferred to the Propaganda Department and is currently in charge of the group's external relations. Contacting the Revolutionary Committee is her main job."
Qi Feng didn't say anything else.
In fact, he didn't need to say anything more, everyone present understood what this meant.
Those two people were deeply offended by Yin Xiaoman, and they were looking for trouble even when there was nothing to do. Not to mention that she had to ask those two people for proof of her matter.
It would be strange if they didn't collude with each other and cause some trouble.
At this moment, Yin Xiaoman was extremely disappointed.
After promising Qi Feng that he would wait and see about this matter later, he left their house.
After returning home, she took her two children to go fishing as usual and gained a lot. After returning, not only did she cook delicious food for them, she even took out the apples that she had put away from the house and gave each of them a whole one.
You know, in the past, in order to avoid arousing suspicion, she would cut it into small slices and give one slice to each person.
After dinner, watching the little ones take a nap, she took out the unfinished needlework and carefully finished the last few stitches of the jacket for Dabao. She also picked out a few small pieces of floral cloth that would not be noticeable and made two small head flowers for Erniu.
After it was done, I woke up the two little ones and asked Dabao to take his sister to the vegetable garden in the backyard to pick cucumbers and newly grown celery, take out the stored octopus, and when no one was paying attention, chopped in a big piece of hind leg meat, and made the dumplings they had been clamoring for for a long time.
The two children were pleasantly surprised by the meal. Even Dabao, who was always a self-disciplined person, was so full that he sat on the stool and couldn’t stand up.
Erniu clung to Yin Xiaoman's arms, humming repeatedly: "Mom, eat more, we'll eat more tomorrow."
Yin Xiaoman tugged at her pigtails, nodded lovingly, pointed at the full plate of food left on the stove, and said with a smile, "Okay, let my brother heat it up for our second daughter tomorrow."
After all, the two children were young and could not see the tears in their mother’s eyes at all. They were so happy as if it was New Year’s Day.
That night, Yin Xiaoman did not let Dabao sleep in another room by himself. Instead, she let him sleep in the same bed with them, just like when the three of them first lived in Shuanggui Village.
Dabao is almost seven years old, and he feels a little embarrassed to be able to sleep with his mother again. But it was obvious that he was very happy.
The little face is always red.
After telling two stories and putting the little ones to sleep, Yin Xiaoman returned to his room in the palace.
She reorganized the things and took out all the food that could be put in, such as rice, flour, grain, oil, pickled meat, smoked sausage, kimchi, and drunken crabs.
She walked into the room where Shen Qingyun lived and brought in a large cardboard box that she had prepared earlier.
He stacked the prepared items neatly in the box and put two cans of aged wine that Shen Qingyun had been coveting for a long time in it.
It was not until the box was full and could hardly be closed that he pushed it forcefully to the innermost part of the bed.
After finishing these things, she sat down at the desk that Shen Qingyun usually used, opened the drawer and took out a stack of stationery and a pen.
According to the format I had learned before, I wrote the words "Declaration of Separation of Relationship" in the middle of the first line.
Looking at the line of words he had written, Yin Xiaoman was stunned for a moment, and unknowingly his eyes began to feel a little sore again.
After a long while, she shook her head vigorously and continued to write seriously: "I, Yin Xiaoman, voluntarily sever my relationship with my husband Shen Qingyun..."
But just as she wrote this line, she heard the sound of the courtyard door being pushed open outside.
It scared her!
It's already past nine o'clock, who would come? And she clearly remembered that she had locked the gate before.
Could it be...
Yin Xiaoman's heart began to beat wildly. He grabbed the half-written document and stuffed it into the drawer, then ran out in a hurry.
As a result, before he could reach the bedroom door, he was bumped into by Shen Qingyun who had just walked into the living room.
At this moment, Shen Qingyun was wearing a military uniform, and he had unbuttoned two buttons on his collar. His sleeves were rolled up high, and in his hand he was still holding the luggage bag he had taken away earlier.
He looked exhausted, as if he had walked a long way.
"Why are you back now?"
When Yin Xiaoman saw him, she felt like she was dreaming for a moment. She couldn't believe it at all and even rubbed her eyes hard.
Shen Qingyun, who obviously slowed down his footsteps as not to disturb others, did not expect to see such a surprising scene when he returned home.
The wife he had been thinking about so much actually walked out of the room where he slept!
Such a scene is really relaxing!
His eyes darkened, and no one knew what he was thinking about. He threw away the bag in his hand and rushed over to hug her tightly.
He didn't answer her, but gave her a big smile.
"Wife, you are sleeping in my room at night now? What's wrong? Are you missing me so much that you can't sleep?"
As he spoke, he buried his head in Yin Xiaoman's hair and chuckled at his own imagination.
Shen Qingyun didn't know how far he had walked. His body was covered in sweat, and the back of his military uniform was soaked with sweat.
If it were in the past, Yin Xiaoman would definitely yell at him to take a shower the first thing she did out of disgust, but now she couldn't feel it at all.
She was so stunned by this sudden appearance that she was held by him for a long time without any sign of struggle.
She subconsciously clutched Shen Qingyun's clothes and buried her face in his arms again.
Shen Qingyun was very surprised by her rare initiative, and then became even more excited.
He suddenly became agitated and felt that all the blood in his body was rushing to his head, making his brain buzz.
He was so excited that he lifted his wife's waist and held her up high as if she were a child.
The sudden loss of weight startled Yin Xiaoman, and he couldn't help but let out an "ah".
But before she could struggle, the man carried her into the room in three or two steps and threw her onto the bed.
At the same time, he pressed his entire body heavily on her.
"Wife, let's sleep together tonight."
Shen Qingyun buried his head in Yin Xiaoman's arms, took a deep breath, and spoke in a hoarse voice.
Yin Xiaoman was thrown and his body hit the bed with a bang.
The pain was so severe that she couldn't even make a sound for a while.
The sudden pain finally made her wake up, and she finally believed that Shen Qingyun had really returned.
She was so angry that she reached out to hit him, and then she heard what he said -
My hand suddenly stopped in mid-air and I felt my scalp starting to go numb.
Then my whole body started to feel numb.
Although he couldn't see it, Yin Xiaoman knew that his face must have been too red to look at.
She gritted her teeth and pushed Shen Qingyun hard: "You get up first!"
The voice was hurried, yet indescribably soft and tender, and it sounded as if water could drip out of it.
As soon as Yin Xiaoman said this, she regretted it extremely. She never knew that she could make such an embarrassing sound. She regretted it so much that she wanted to bite off her tongue.
Shen Qingyun's body tensed, and he rubbed his head hard into her arms again. The hot breath seemed to burn people.
His voice was hoarse, but his tone was insistent: "No, you agree first."
"What did you promise? Get up first. You're sinking!" Yin Xiaoman became anxious and pushed him harder.
"Promise not to leave tonight, promise to sleep with me, promise... to be my real daughter-in-law."
Shen Qingyun answered quickly, and this time, he showed no intention of giving in.
After saying that, he hugged Yin Xiaoman tighter.
She begged in a soft voice she had never heard before: "Xiao Man, please promise me. You don't know, I miss you every day, and my body hurts. You are my wife, I want to hug you and kiss you to sleep, please promise me!"
After saying this, without waiting for her to respond, he just grabbed her tightly in his arms without giving a single thought.
He looked like a scoundrel who said, "If you don't agree, I will never let go."
Yin Xiaoman stopped in mid-air, and in the end she was reluctant to reach out her hand that was originally intended to pull his hair.
Shen Qingyun said that he thought about her every day, so why didn't she think about him too?
She missed him so much that her heart ached.
Through his profile, Yin Xiaoman's eyes fell on the drawer of the bedside desk.
In it, there was also a statement that she had not had time to finish writing to sever ties with this man.
When she thought that after tonight, she would be separated from this person forever and would never see him again——
Yin Xiaoman felt a tearing pain in his chest.
She bit her lip hard and sighed silently in her heart.
Then he poked Shen Qingyun's head with his finger and said softly, "Go wash first."
