Qin Siyue cooks very quickly, and soon the delicious food is on the table.
Qin Lao Da and Qin Lao Er, who went to clean the house, also came back quickly.
These days, the mother and daughter often go there to clean up. They just need to sweep the dust a little and light the kang before it is ready for living.
The two of them finished it without much effort and brought back the captain.
Wei Xu's return to the village was not concealed at all. Many people saw him and Qin Siyue walking shoulder to shoulder, and heard the sobbing in the Qin family's old house.
They were curious and wanted to ask, but they found the Qin family's door was closed. They could only sigh regretfully and thought about waiting until dawn to ask what was going on.
Wang Zhiqiang gradually calmed down under Chen Yunwei's comfort.
Following Wei Xu into the main hall, he immediately saw a table full of food. He was so shocked that he even forgot to control his expression.
Wei Xu coughed lightly, bringing Wang Zhiqiang back to his senses.
He introduced them with a smile: "This is Uncle Baogen, the captain of the Qingshan Brigade, this is Uncle Qin, this is Uncle Qin, and this is..."
Wang Zhiqiang followed behind and greeted them obediently. He looked like a good kid, and everyone wanted to introduce their daughter to him.
Her eyes fell on his injured hand and she shook her head regretfully, thinking how pitiful the child was. How was he going to live without a hand?
Wei Xu briefly recounted Wang Zhiqiang's experience, which further infuriated Qin Baogen. Like Qian Guihua, he was eager to go to Old Wang's house and seek justice.
However, Wei Xu stopped him: "He has already severed ties with that side, there is no need to continue to entangle him. I want him to recuperate in the team, I wonder if the captain can allow it."
"Well, I'm just recovering from my injuries and living in your house. What's the problem?" He said with some concern: "After your injuries heal, do you plan to settle down in Qingshan Brigade?"
To be honest, he didn't want it. Wang Zhiqiang had lost his hands, so he couldn't do most farm work. He could only rely on the team for support.
The people in the team are easy to talk to, but that's when it doesn't affect their own interests.
If someone takes advantage of their labor and takes a share of their food, it will be a bad look on their face.
But Comrade Wang was a hero. He couldn't say no.
Perhaps sensing the captain's dilemma, Wei Xu promised, "I won't settle down. I'll leave once his injury heals."
"Go back to the army?" Qin Jianjun asked naively.
Wei Xu shook his head: "Zhiqiang's condition is no longer suitable for staying in the team."
Everyone was silent, feeling regretful and helpless.
Seeing this, Qian Guihua smiled and picked up several slices of bacon for Wang Zhiqiang with her chopsticks, and comforted him: "It's okay, as long as you are alive."
Wang Zhiqiang nodded and said, "Compared to those brothers who buried corpses at the border, I am lucky to have survived.
Okay, okay, I won’t talk about my business anymore. Who made this dish today? It smells so delicious.
"Not only does it smell delicious, it tastes amazing too. Here, try this, it's your sister Siyue's specialty!"
Chen Yunwei was generous with her praise, which made the young man shy.
The old lady glared at her, thinking, "What are you doing? You're being so attentive. You're treating her like a son-in-law."
Don’t you know that children are simple and are most afraid of random thoughts?
Chen Yunwei was confused and wondered why he kicked her. Did he think I was stealing the credit?
We're all family, so why should we be so clear about what's going on? Besides, this was made by my own daughter!
Wei Xu noticed the subtle atmosphere between the two and turned to look at Qin Siyue, only to find that she was whispering heartlessly to her two cousins.
The upturned eyebrows were like little suns, warming the heart. But her hair was a little out of place, messy and two inches long.
After that, the group stopped talking. After all, if they delayed even a little, the food in front of them might be gone.
It was rare for the Qin family to have such a sumptuous meal. Although they were holding on to their last bit of rationality, they still went crazy grabbing the food.
Especially Zhao Dandan, as the greediest one in the Qin family, ignored the anger in the old lady's eyes and ate heartily.
Holding her stomach with her hands happily, she thought it would be great if there were more guests like Wei Xu.
After dinner, Qin Siyue and Chen Yunwei packed two sets of Qin Jianye’s clothes and some simple daily necessities and sent them to the Wei family.
Wei Xu was very grateful, and so was Wang Zhiqiang.
The kang, which had been heated for two hours, was already warm. Since both of them had injured arms, Chen Yunwei didn't bother them and went straight to make the bed.
He also reminded: "Don't fold the quilt when you get up tomorrow. Roll it up and cover yourself with it the next day."
Wei Xu nodded: "I understand, aunt."
"Okay then, you guys take a rest. Once you've had a good sleep, come home for dinner."
Seeing Wang Zhiqiang hesitate, he smiled and said, "You're welcome. Your battalion commander sends money home every month. That money is enough for you to eat and drink."
A hint of gratitude flashed in Wei Xu's eyes. He smiled and sent the person away, then went to the kitchen to pour water and help Wang Zhiqiang wash his hands and feet.
Wang Zhiqiang felt very uncomfortable and kept dodging backwards.
Wei Xu grabbed his ankle and said, "Wang Zhiqiang, listen to me. I'm a germaphobe and don't want to sleep with someone with smelly feet. You'd better wash them clean for me."
After saying that, he muttered, "I haven't even served my wife, and you're enjoying it. You're making a fortune."
That one sentence turned Wang Zhiqiang's reservedness into a boastful one. He chuckled and said, "Oh, really? Well, I'll have to show off to my sister-in-law. Speaking of which, Captain, do you have someone you like?"
Wei Xu rolled his eyes at him: "You're just imagining things."
"Don't waste the beauty of the night, get intoxicated by the evening breeze..."
Qin Siyue lay on the kang and tried to enter the space again.
Finding he couldn't get in, he complained to Chen Yunwei, "What's going on? My dad's been gone for over half a month and there's no news at all. Is it snowing in Beijing too?"
Chen Yunwei said as she applied essence water to her face, "It's normal in the middle of winter, and there's no staff to clear the snow. As long as your father can get home safely, nothing else matters."
Qin Siyue thought about it and stopped struggling. After lying down for a while, he asked, "Mom, did you tell me that the army has arranged a job for Wang Zhiqiang?"
"It's definitely been arranged, but I don't know if that foolish boy has accepted it. People in this era are simple and honest, unlike us in later generations."
Qin Siyue nodded: "I hope he won't be selfless, otherwise, it will be me and my family who will suffer in the future."
Chen Yunwei raised her hand and scratched her nose: "We've already broken off the relationship, what about the family? Unless he can get married.
If Zhiqiang had a job, he could find a job with similar conditions. If he has nothing, well, even a widow would probably despise him.
Qin Siyue was silent for a while, then he smiled and livened up the atmosphere: "Why think so much? There will always be a way out when you reach the mountain. We can just take care of each other in the future.
I don't know what's going on with Uncle Lu, is he injured?"
"Wei Xu didn't mention it, so it must be fine. He might be busy and didn't have time to contact us."
