……..
The news that Xie Jingming returned home was not breaking news. They just chatted occasionally. Lin Qiu Shuang, who was going out for a walk after dinner, overheard the villagers’ discussion.
What Xie Jingming is back?
“What did you say? Xie Jingming is back. He is back home safe and sound.” Lin Qiu Shuang exclaimed, her eyes widened in shock. Didn’t Xie Jingming sacrifice a heroic death?
He couldn’t come back?
Why…
how… …
Suddenly, Lin Qiu Shuang’s heart was filled with desolate panic, and her frowning brows were full of disbelief. She, herself… obviously…
Lin Qiu Shuang knew the situation in her previous life. Because of knowing, she felt aloof. She thinks you are all a bunch of scum with poor vision and small horizons…
But now, how could Xie Jingming come back? How could he come back? If he could come back, then why am I… now ?
” It’s wrong for you to say that. Although you can’t stand your cousin, you shouldn’t curse her like this.”
“That’s right, Jing Ming is out there protecting his family and the country . It is our peace. Without them, how could we live such a stable and good life?”
For their generation, the Chairman is the greatest person, leading them to overthrow the oppressed life and protecting their homeland and country. Soldiers should be respected.
“Impossible!” Lin Qiu Shuang shook her head quickly, trying to eliminate this possibility from her mind. She was sure that they were talking nonsense. Xie Jingming was dead.
She felt a little more regretful, regretting whether her original behavior was wrong, especially now that she married Sun Xiangxue; it was not what she imagined.
She thought that after marrying Sun Xiangxue, she would live a happy life, but she forgot that there is no open market economy yet, and doing business is all about speculation, and you will be caught.
Now she has to go to the fields to farm every day, and after returning home she has to wash, cook, and serve Sun Xiangxue. Lin Qiu Shuang feels that in just over half a month, she has endured all the hardships she hasn’t suffered since her rebirth.
Turning around, she headed towards Lin Chuxia’s house. She wanted to see with her own eyes whether Xie Jingming… was really back.
However, Lin Qiu Shuang herself didn’t know why she wanted to go and see it. What would happen if she saw it?
In Lin Qiu Shuang’s heart, she had always believed in one fact: Xie Jingming would die heroically and Lin Chuxia’s pension would be taken away. The three children will be supercilious, and Sun Xiangxue will be very successful in the future.
But now…
it’s impossible!!!
Seeing Lin Qiu Shuang rushing to leave in a hurry, the other aunties who were still chatting were full of confusion, as if they didn’t understand what Lin Qiu Shuang was going to do.
“What is she doing?”
“Lin Qiu Shuang was so arrogant at the time that she was unwilling to marry Xie Jingming.”
“Then why is she so excited?”
Everyone shook their heads as if they didn’t understand Lin Qiu Shuang, but they quickly forgot about Lin Qiu Shuang’s behavior and started talking about other things.
At this time, Lin Qiu Shuang, who was stimulated, finally came to the door of Lin Chuxia’s house and shouted inside, “Lin Chuxia, Lin Chuxia, come out!”
Lin Chuxia took things away from Xie Jingming at noon today. After the cubs pushed everything to her, she didn’t refuse. Children can’t just eat snacks and not eat meals. It’s good to save them for eating slowly, such as in the morning and occasionally in the afternoon.
Xie Jingming didn’t have any objections to this, but he just sat there stiffly and silently. The atmosphere was inexplicably awkward. Lin Chuxia directly asked him to help carry water. The water at home had run out.
Xie Jingming might have been confused about what to do if he stayed here, or he might have felt that he couldn’t eat at home, so he got up and went to fetch water.
Seeing Xie Jingming take off his military uniform, revealing his strong muscles, tsk. She felt like this man was seducing her.
After seeing him filling up the buckets at home, Lin Chuxia suddenly couldn’t bear it anymore. He had to work without taking a break at noon…
“You are tired when you come back from the train. Why don’t you take a shower and rest?”
Oh, by the way, she occupies one of the two rooms at home, and three children occupy the other room, so where does Xie Jingming want to sleep?
Xie Jingming listened to Lin Chuxia’s words and rejected her proposal, “No, I will go to the mountain to drag some firewood back in the afternoon. There is a vegetable garden.”
Xie Jingming didn’t think that he needed to rest after taking a train. He had already rested when he got up. Looking at the three little guys playing ludo, Xie Jingming pursed his lips. Finally, he sat next to them and watched them laugh.
Xie Jingming had never played Ludo and thought that children’s toys had evolved nowadays. Looking at his three sons, who had been raised to be fair and fat, Xie Jingming felt a trace of guilt in his heart.
He was not at home, so Lin Chuxia had to handle everything. He still suspected her so much…
Fortunately, he only made the decision in his heart and never said it out loud.
At this moment, Lin Qiu Shuang’s whirring sound came from outside. Lin Chuxia was still preparing to take a nap. It’s so annoying. Why is she here again?
For this reborn cousin, Lin Chuxia didn’t have the slightest concern. She had a good impression and didn’t want to have any contact with Lin Qiu Shuang.
However, Lin Qiu Shuang, who was still making noises outside, sounded a little… Lin Chuxia, who was bored, had to come out and look at the somewhat ferocious Lin Qiu Shuang opposite. Lin Chuxia asked, “Cousin, you are not resting at home at noon. Why are you coming here to cause trouble?”
At this time, there was no need to be on good terms with Lin Qiu Shuang like before. She behaved like a showman when acting in front of Qiu Shuang and let Lin Qiu Shuang leave lightly.
It’s a pity that Lin Qiu Shuang didn’t want to leave at all. Instead, she looked inside the house, wanting to see if Xie Jingming was there.
“Lin Chuxia, I heard that Xie Jingming is back. Is he back safe and sound?” He was injured. How could he come back at this time? It shouldn’t be. Didn’t his so-called comrades come over to investigate the situation before? Lin Qiu Shuang thought it was because of the pension, but now that it doesn’t look like it, could it be that he was seriously injured and was about to die?
“Tsk, cousin, you are already married, and you came to ask about Jingming’s situation. It was not appropriate at first, but you were so stubborn that you were not willing to marry him. And asked me to marry Jingming; do you regret it now?”
Lin Chuxia looked at Lin Qiu Shuang in front of her with a smile; her tone seemed to be teasing, but in fact it had a bit of a sinister tone.
As soon as these words came out, Lin Qiushuang’s mood became worse. She looked at Lin Chuxia with a gloomy expression. “That’s nonsense! How could I be such a person? I’m just here to care about you!”
“Cousin, Don’t hide it from me. Oh, it won’t be good if my cousin-in-law finds out about this.” Lin Chuxia shook her head regretfully, as if to say, Don’t even think about it; be careful if others find out about it; you will be beaten.
When Lin Qiushuang heard Lin Chuxia’s words, her already gloomy face turned ugly, especially when she said this to Lin Chuxia in front of her, “Lin Chuxia, can’t you answer my question well?”
Lin Qiu Shuang felt more and more that there was something wrong with Lin Chuxia. In the past, she always listened to her own words. Now she
glared at Lin Chuxia angrily, but she ignored that Lin Chuxia in front of her didn’t listen to her at all.As for who can’t stare, Lin Chuxia is even more fierce in fighting.
“Yes, my Jingming is back. Oops, he also brought big and small bags of things. I don’t know how good they are. Cousin, don’t be envious. If your man is capable, you can let him buy it. Don’t worry about what others man brought.”
Lin Chuxia understood the expression on Lin Qiu Shuang’s face and deliberately provoked Lin Qiu Shuang. As expected, Lin Qiu Shuang’s eyes turned red with anger.
Xie Jingming, who was sitting in the hall at home playing ludo with his children, heard the noise outside and thought it was someone looking for trouble. He raised his ears and listened for a while, but his ears turned red inexplicably.
Subconsciously, he reached out and touched his ear; his expression was unnatural… My Jingming… My man…
This is not the first time he has heard someone say this. It is just the first time he has heard that expression in someone else’s words. The person she wanted was himself, and moreover, she was his wife…
He suppressed all his emotions, his expression returned to normal, and he pretended not to care about what happened next to the accident. He looked down at the ludo played by three children.
The three children usually played with Lin Chuxia, especially the big cub. Without Lin Chuxia, he would be the last one. How could he be happy in his heart?
So, they set their sights on Xie Jingming; the cool big cub was so arrogant. He raised his chin and said, “Dad, you sit here. I know you are bored. I allow you to join us to play.”
When he said this, his dark eyes were filled with light, and he was filled with joy. He looked at Xie Jingming expectantly and pretended not to care.
How could you not understand who Xie Jingming is?
“Okay, then please let me join in.” Xie Jingming’s heart softened; his child is so cute.
“Hmm, you sit here; let’s do rock, paper, scissors.” Dazai thinks that Xie Jingming should be almost the same as Lin Chuxia, and he hasn’t played it yet. How can he compare with himself?
He will definitely not be the last one.
With this thought in mind, the big cub began to play the Ludo game with high spirits, but… not long after, his smile fell.
He…lost again.
Why hasn’t dad never played before?
Suddenly, the eldest son decided to take a nap. He said angrily that he stopped playing, but he couldn’t let his younger brother find out that he stopped playing because he lost. He said, “I’m sleepy. Let’s play next time.”
Damn it!
Next time, he should play with his mother; she is the only one suitable for him! Because only Lin Chuxia will lose to him!
Xie Jingming: …I seem to have done something wrong.
After Lin Chuxia drove Lin Qiu Shuang away, she walked in and saw an embarrassing scene in front of him. The aggrieved cub was a little angry, just about to turn around and leave here.
Seeing this, Lin Chuxia picked up the big cub from behind and said, “Oh, mom’s big cub. Mom misses you so much. I want to play Ludo with you. Will you play with mom?”
Xie Jingming, who knew that he had done something wrong, realized later, because he threw the dice… It was really casual, and he did not expect that the big boy would be so unlucky… He had no experience in coaxing children, so he could only sit there and move. The more helpless he becomes, the more indifferent his expression becomes.
“Hmph, I’m sleepy and don’t want to play now.” Big Zai snorted in a slightly aggrieved tone. It was so amazing. Everyone was bullying me.
However, the face-saving big boy couldn’t say it directly. He could only maintain his emotions in this way, pretending like this, as if nothing happened.
“Then what should we do? Mom wants to play so much. Our Dazai can accompany mom, okay? Mom doesn’t want to play with dad; she just wants to play with Dazai.” Lin Chuxia hugged the five-year-old little baby Dazai, and his fleshy body feels very thick and heavy. Oops, his hands are almost sore.
Hearing Lin Chuxia’s voice, the eldest son’s face felt slightly hot. Hu, what nonsense are you talking about? The second and third brothers are both here! This, this, is not manly at all.
“Then, I will, reluctantly, play with you.” Dazai raised his chin proudly, and the slight aggrieved mood because of losing disappeared.
Xie Jingming next to him just watched Lin Chuxia coaxing the cub. Her softened voice and attitude had never been seen in other people (other people’s mothers). So… can they still get along like this? However, after seeing Dazai, she was no longer sad because of what had just happened. Xie Jingming finally breathed a sigh of relief and planned to sit by and watch how Lin Chuxia played with the child.
Xie Jingming watched them playing ludo. Lin Chuxia was even more unlucky than the big cub. The dice she threw were most likely bad, and three of the color pieces did not take off.
There was an excited smile on the big boy’s face. Because he clenched his fists in excitement, the color of his face turned red. He kept looking at the chess pieces without giving Xie Jingming the slightest glance next to him.
Finally, the Dazai won! Second place! The smile he raised was a little proud, but the Erzai lost, and he reached out and touched the second cub’s head, “The Erzai is also great, third place, better than mom Awesome!”
Xie Jingming listened to the title of Dazai, Dazai… Erzai then focused his peripheral vision on the youngest one, so… “Sanzai is very smart!”
The words of praise made Dazai. The other two cubs and Lin Chuxia all looked at each other, a little subtle, which made Xie Jingming silently mutter in his heart. What did he say wrong again?
“Our eldest son and second son are as smart as the third son and are smarter than mother.”
“Okay, it’s time to take a nap.” She patted the children on the back of their heads and drove them to sleep. If you don’t sleep, you won’t be able to grow taller.
The three cute little children were very happy because they won the Ludo game.
After the three cubs went to bed, Lin Chuxia turned to look at Xie Jingming and said, “You really don’t need to take a rest at noon.”
“No, I’ll go to the mountain to see if there’s anything to eat, and I’ll chop some by the way.” Xie Jingming, who didn’t know how to get along with Lin Chuxia alone, rejected her suggestion and planned to go out and work hard.
————————
Dazai: Dad, don’t snatch my food! Help me with the work!
Xie Jingming: I won playing Ludo; I’m so sorry!
Lin Chuxia: A day of loving father and filial piety.
