CHAPTER 28

Lin Chuxia was tossing and turning on the bed, and Xie Jingming, who was lying on the ground, had just returned from a mission at the border. He was quite vigilant, and her every move… No, of course he couldn’t sleep either.

“Of course not; I just… I didn’t go to bed that early before; I’m just not used to it.” How could Lin Chuxia admit such a thing directly? She definitely didn’t mean it.

How could it be because of him?

“Isn’t it already dark when you usually go to bed?” Xie Jingming saw that Lin Chuxia really didn’t seem to want to sleep and then remembered that children were still there during the day, so he hadn’t had time to talk to Lin Chuxia before.

“I would light a kerosene lamp and play Ludo with my children.” Lin Chuxia was silent for a second. Can she say that her home was not so dark before?

She couldn’t say it. She could only change the reason. When she said this, her voice was a little calm. “You have worked very hard; are you fine ?”

“Why do you say that?” Xie Jingming listened to Lin Chuxia’s question with a little doubt in his heart.

“You train and do tasks every day… all to protect your home and country. It’s so hard. I’m worried about you.” Lin Chuxia smiled guiltily, with a little sweetness.

Because Lin Chuxia thought that Xie Jingming was destined not to come back. Even if he did come back, shouldn’t he be seriously injured?

But now, depending on the situation, it doesn’t look like it. For example, when he was chopping firewood this afternoon, his majestic and strong muscles were not weak at all. There was no trace of reluctance on Xie Jingming’s part.

Xie Jingming used to be in the army, which was full of big men. Where could he meet a girl? Plus, Lin Chuxia was his wife, so his natural identity was on display here.

As she softly said, “worried about him,” Xie Jingming felt a subtle emotion in his heart, a little sour and a little warm, slowly flowing from the apex of his heart towards the surroundings of his body.

“You have worked hard at home. You have taken good care of the three children at home. My aunt has assaulted you because I did not arrange it properly.”

Lin Chuxia listened to Xie Jingming’s deep voice, the meaning expressed in his words, and his tone of voice with guilt and apology.

“Hmm, it’s good that you know that your aunt is very hateful. She came to our house to steal food and your wages and subsidies, just like a bandit. She also knocked me on the corner of the table, and my head was bleeding. Die… I almost died.”

Speaking of this, she felt a little dazed. She didn’t know where the original owner went after her death…

Maybe she was reincarnated.

But she also avenged the original owner twice, but it’s a pity that her aunt-in-law was lucky and survived both times…

Listening to Lin Chuxia talk about what happened during this period, Xie Jingming felt more and more guilty.

Xie Jingming was silent for a few seconds. For a moment, he didn’t know what to say. After his lips moved twice, he finally said only three words: “I’m sorry.”

“Yeah.” Lin Chuxia responded, seemingly in a daze. If you don’t take it to heart, “How many days will you be home on vacation this time?”

“About a month.” Xie Jingming had no intention of hiding it from Lin Chuxia this time. “I plan to apply for a new dormitory in the army, and then I will take you guys together; are you willing?”

Go to the army dormitory. Lin Chuxia reacted immediately and couldn’t wait to ask, “Is there a toilet? Or, your army dormitory also uses dry toilets.”

“Haha… No, don’t worry about that.” Xie Jingming was stunned for a moment, and then he realized the meaning of Lin Chuxia’s question and couldn’t help but chuckle.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chuxia became energetic and opened her eyes, “Is it true? Have you applied for the dormitory? And we can also follow!”

Anyway, no matter where Lin Chuxia is, she doesn’t have much sense of belonging in this era. If there is a better place to live, how could you refuse… before she thought that if Xie Jingming really died heroically, his pension can be used to buy a house in the city, and they can live in the city together.

“Yes.” Xie Jingming eliminated his previous plan. Originally he only planned to bring three children back, but now… there is one more person in the plan.

After he responded, Lin Chuxia’s mind had already filled with anticipation that she could leave this poor place.

Lin Chuxia’s voice asked again, and Xie Jingming assured her. After all, they had never gotten along except on the wedding day.

Even on the wedding day, he left in a hurry.

With a guilty feeling, Xie Jingming slowly fell asleep.

………

The next day, when Lin Chuxia woke up, Xie Jingming was no longer in the room, and even the mat on the floor had been cleared away.

Because Xie Jingming came back, Lin Chuxia hid all the clocks in the room, and she didn’t know what time it was now.

When she got up and walked out of the room, the door was already open. It was obvious that Xie Jingming had gotten up. She glanced in the direction of the kitchen and heard the sound of the rice cooker blowing. Breakfast had been cooked, but
Her pork hadn’t been taken out yet.

Well, all she can do is call out to the three cubs, “Dazai, Erzai, and Sanzai, get up. Those who get up late won’t have anything to eat!!”

Inside, Sanzai was sleeping soundly. As soon as the three little cubs heard Lin Chuxia’s voice, they opened their eyes and got up one after another to eat!

After getting up, the three little cubs opened the door and saw Lin Chuxia standing at the door. “Good morning; Dad got up and had already prepared the breakfast. I brushed my teeth and washed my face. I’ll go find your father later to see where he went and ask him to come back.” She said and reached out and touched the messy hair of the three little cubs.

“Okay.” The soft and well-behaved little children nodded in agreement, and then they all went to brush their teeth and wash their faces. The water had been picked out, and breakfast… it might have been porridge, but it had also been cooked.

Lin Chuxia also went to brush her teeth and wash her face. After cleaning up, Lin Chuxia really couldn’t guess where Xie Jingming could go.

It was impossible to go to the mountains to chop firewood in the early morning… Oh, digging wild vegetables in the vegetable garden… Oh, she guessed it, he might have gone to the vegetable garden.

Yesterday, she ordered Xie Jingming to go to the vegetable garden to plow the ground and water it. She looked at the three little children and said, “Go to the vegetable garden to see if your father is there and tell him to come home for breakfast.”

Upon hearing Lin Chuxia’s instructions, the three little children stepped up their short legs and headed towards the vegetable garden.

Sure enough, they saw Xie Jingming in the vegetable garden, calling him with bright eyes, “Dad, it’s time to go home for breakfast!”

When Xie Jingming heard the children’s voices, he knew they were up. When he looked up, sure enough, “Okay.”

The three little children were originally very happy, but when they saw what was cooked in the morning, their happy mood suddenly collapsed at this moment.

“Dad, didn’t you tell me you would cook pork in the morning?” Erzai blinked and looked up at Xie Jingming.

Xie Jingming was silent for three seconds. Can he cook…pork? There is no pork at home. Lin Chuxia interrupted now, “I forgot to tell you. Yesterday, I promised children to cook pork this morning, but…”

After looking at it, with the mung bean porridge in the rice bowl, she reached out and rubbed the heads of the three little children, “Be good; Daddy has been working very hard cooking porridge; we can’t talk about Daddy like that.”

The three little children looked down after being educated. Taking a look at their bowl, in the end, they didn’t say anything dissatisfied and just ate hard rice… and drank porridge.

Finally, the eldest son looked at Xie Jingming very seriously and said, “Dad, remember to put more sugar next time.”

Xie Jingming: There is no sugar at home.

Lin Chuxia: When I was cleaning up the house yesterday, I put all the things away and forgot to put them back.

After breakfast, Xie Jingming took the initiative to wash the dishes without needing to be reminded. “I’m going to town to visit my former comrades. You don’t have to wait for me to come back for lunch at noon.”

“Okay. ” Lin Chuxia just nodded, remembering that Xie Jingming gave her all the salary and allowances yesterday and gave him ten yuan. “Remember to buy some things; even if you think your comrades don’t need them, his family will. ”

Xie Jingming, who was stuffed with a happy reunion card, looked down at the ten yuan in his hand. This was the first time someone had told him this, and he suppressed all his subtle emotions, “Yeah.”

Lin Chuxia finished explaining Xie Jingming’s. After that, she bent down and lifted up her gentle and well-behaved second cub, “Let’s go; let’s conquer another piece of pigweed today.”

Her beautiful and somewhat middle-aged tone made the somewhat shy second cub shrink back. Shrinking, he didn’t think it was anything before, but now, in front of his father…

“Also, I have cut the pigweed and sent it to the pig farm.” Xie Jingming was reminded because he got up this morning to prepare. When he went to the vegetable garden, he heard something from someone passing by in the village, and then he realized that Lin Chuxia’s job at home was to cut pigweed.

It’s also hard on her; she still has to earn work points to support her children.

Looking at the scene of their mother and son getting along, a faint smile appeared on Xie Jingming’s face.

After Xie Jingming left, Lin Chuxia took the three of them to wash clothes.

The three cubs helped carry the buckets. Now, under the guidance of Lin Chuxia, they have begun to learn how to wash clothes, which is great!

The original reason was just because Lin Chuxia’s periods came too violently and it hurt; her whole face turned pale, and the little boy could only rely on himself for their work, including washing clothes.

Therefore, they proudly puffed up their little chests and wanted to praise them in front of Lin Chuxia. Lin Chuxia touched her slightly cold belly, then smiled and praised the three little cubs.

Lin Chuxia handed all the small pieces of clothing to the cute little children. The little children were so frightened as her period was so painful that she sweated so much that they had to wash the clothes with her.

After washing and drying the clothes, the three eldest cubs looked at Lin Chuxia eagerly. “Mom, what are we going to eat for lunch?”

“I want to eat meat! I want some air!” The third cub immediately raised his paws. Expressing his wish, his father was at home and there was no meat to eat.

“Okay, okay…” She sighed helplessly, reaching out and rubbing the little guy’s head. “Dad is so hard-working, you can’t dislike him.”

How could Lin Chuxia not understand the meaning of her child’s eyes, no matter what she thought? But the three children—at least, they can still be supported by Xie Jingming.

“I, I know, I just feel…” When Lin Chuxia said that, the little boy poked his finger delicately, feeling aggrieved but feeling that he had done something bad.

“Mom, I will teach Sanzai well; don’t talk about him anymore.” As an older brother, the cool big brother stood up very bravely, grabbed Lin Chuxia’s clothes, and told her to stop saying to Sanzai.

“Okay, then I’ll see how our eldest child educates the third child.” If you educate the third cub well, I won’t talk about him.” Lin Chuxia nodded, moved a small bench, and watched him educate the third cub carefully.

Then, the two little guys, Dazai and Erzai, looked at Sanzai with very serious faces, and each of them held his short hand and said, “Sanzai, be good from now on and don’t bully Daddy.”

“I, I got it.” Sanzai puffed up his face; this action was very similar to that of Dazai.

As expected of a brother.

At noon, Lin Chuxia cooked a pot of meat porridge with salted eggs. It tasted delicious!

 

In the afternoon, the three little guys ran out to play with their friends. After all, their dad was back. They wanted to see who dared call them little bastards and say behind their backs that they don’t have a father!!!

The first stop was to find their former friend, and the first thing he said was, My father is back.

The other people being shown off didn’t know their happiness at all and replied calmly: My father is also at home.

Dazai, Erzai, and Sanzai: Damn it, no one knows what makes them happy.

In the end, the three little children went home with the slightest trace of disappointment that no one else noticed. Lin Chuxia was still chewing beef jerky and drinking juice with her legs crossed, looking very happy.

Lin Chuxia, who saw the children coming back a little dejected, munching on beef jerky and enjoying the leisurely afternoon in the countryside, looked at them in surprise and said, “What’s wrong? Were you bullied? I’ll tell your father later and ask him to settle the score with them.”

Now that Xie Jingming is back, there are some things that are naturally suitable for Xie Jingming to do!

“No.” Dazai sighed, pretending to be mature, but those people who are not smart enough can’t play with them at all. He sighed.

Erzai and Sanzai, two smart little cuties, also felt that the children in the village were really not smart and were really stupid. They all said “their father is back” so many times, but no one understood.

“Come, let’s eat beef jerky together.” Lin Chuxia shared a piece of beef jerky. After sitting down, she poured a bowl of juice. “Come, how about we play ludo?”
