The autumn harvest began in a blink of an eye, and everyone else went to harvest the rice, leaving He Xiaoyun and Feng Qiuyue at home.
He Xiaoyun is in charge of cooking for the family. Although Feng Qiuyue is not confinement, her body has recovered a lot and she is able to take care of the baby. Basically, He Xiaoyun only needs to help wash diapers and serve meals. Sometimes she will deliver meals , the other party can help look at Wei Yuanhang.
This afternoon, after He Xiaoyun finished her housework, she went to Feng Qiuyue's room to have a look.
When she was working, she asked Wei Yuanhang to take a nap with her aunt. Originally, the adult lay in the middle, the baby was on the inside of the bed, and Wei Yuanhang was on the outside. But when she went in, she found that the little fat man woke up at some point and ran to the bed Turned to the side, and Feng Qiuyue was probably too tired to wake up.
He Xiaoyun immediately said: "Hanghang, what are you doing, don't touch my sister."
"Shh... Mom, don't make noise, my sister needs to sleep." Not only was the child not afraid, but he lowered his voice and said to her.
She walked a few steps closer, only to see the sleepy baby with half-closed eyes, while Wei Yuanhang seemed to be patting her with his chubby hands, trying to coax her to sleep.
He Xiaoyun was surprised and amused, and she didn't dare to speak loudly. She didn't take Wei Yuanhang out lightly until the baby was fast asleep.
Once outside, Wei Yuanhang proudly said: "I woke up, and my sister woke up too, but Auntie didn't wake up, so I told my sister to continue sleeping!"
A three-year-old child coaxed a one-month-old baby to sleep. The key was to really coax him to sleep. He Xiaoyun couldn't laugh or cry.
After the rice was harvested, the work at home was considered to be over for the time being, and the issue of being with the army was brought up again. He Xiaoyun thought about it.
After making up her mind, she went back to her mother's house and mentioned this matter to Li Yuegui.
When she first heard it, her mother was quite happy, "Really? Don't lie to me."
"Really, I have nothing to do with this lie to you?"
"It's all right now, I can feel at ease." Li Yuegui clapped his hands and said with emotion: "Before I was always worried that if you and Jianwei were one there and the other here, the relationship between husband and wife would definitely be cold. What happened, we were kept in the dark, and we couldn't even hear the wind."
He Xiaoyun said helplessly: "The more you talk, the further away, what can he have?"
"That's really hard to say, not to mention that Jianwei is good-looking, tall, and he is a cadre. How many young girls are staring at him. Your aunt has an older sister who married a soldier twenty or thirty years ago. , that person went to war, and she took care of the whole family at home, what happened? He won the war, came back as an official, and then married a new wife!"
"There are very few such heartless people after all."
"Isn't it because you have no conscience? Fortunately, your aunt's sister remarried later, and she is living a good life now. By the way, when will you and Xiaohang go to Jianwei?"
"Just for this period of time. I'm done with family affairs, and my sister-in-law is about to give birth."
When Li Yuegui heard this, her eyes widened, "Don't you wait for next year? It's almost the Chinese New Year, why are you still going out?"
He Xiaoyun had expected that her mother would say that she wanted her to join the army, and she would be reluctant to part with her when she really got there.
"It's only a little over September, and it's still early for the Chinese New Year. Go now, spend more than half a year, and come back with Jianwei in April next year."
Li Yuegui was still talking about being too hasty, and couldn't help complaining: "You bad girl, you didn't tell me earlier, you made me unprepared."
He Xiaoyun had no choice but to say: "Jianwei wrote to me last month to settle this matter. Haven't you been busy all this time?"
"When I think of you and Xiaohang going so far, I feel uncomfortable. Is your mother-in-law willing to part with her eldest grandson?"
"There will definitely be reluctance, but now that there is a baby in the family, she should feel better."
Li Yuegui sighed, "So, raising a daughter is a disadvantage. The daughter went away with someone else, and the child belongs to someone else's family. I have three grandchildren, and they are not as good as your mother-in-law's granddaughter. God is near."
He Xiaoyun smiled and said, "Why don't I leave and move home with Hang Hang?"
Li Yuegui quickly waved his hands, "Don't have such thoughts, I still want to be clean if you don't want to be clean, if you really want to come back to live, the spittle of other people's gossip can drown us."
"Look, for a while, it was said that raising a daughter is a disadvantage, and I want to go home to live, but you don't want to. Being a daughter is also difficult." He Xiaoyun spread her hands helplessly.
"You're the only one with a good tongue." Li Yuegui scolded with a smile.
In the next few days, He Xiaoyun successively told her sister, her brother, and some close people about this matter.
During the period, she also received a package from Wei Jianwei, who bought her face cream this time. Of course, it was still three bottles.
Wang Chunhua saw it and said, "This is for you young people. I don't want it. If you are old, wipe it out and make people laugh."
He Xiaoyun explained: "This one is for moisturizing. If you wipe your face dry in winter, you won't be able to see it."
"My face is like old tree bark. It's a waste to wipe it off. You two should share it." Wang Chunhua resolutely refused.
Forget about the silk scarf from last time, it’s darker in color, and you can still wear it when you’re having a drink as a guest. Let’s see what I bought this time? She wiped off that fragrant cream, and when others smell it, they will say that she is old and pretty, so why not embarrass her to death
The more Wang Chunhua thought about it, the more Wang Chunhua felt that her second son was unreliable. How could someone who was so steady before become so prudent now
It was already decided to go to the army, if he wrote to Wei Jianwei to explain the departure time, and then waited for his reply, it would take too long, so He Xiaoyun went to the county again to take a telegram.
In the next few days, she will start to pack her luggage. Her things are easy to talk about, a few sets of clothes, some daily necessities, a few books, and nothing else. Building blocks, and I will bring a small pillow in a while, I can't wait to move the whole room.
After He Xiaoyun packed his clothes, she put all the other things in front of her and asked him to choose: "Only take two more, you choose yourself, there are too many to fit."
This embarrasses the child, his little brows are frowned tightly, and he stretches out his fingers, pointing at this and that, but he just can't make up his mind.
He Xiaoyun then asked: "Is the little quilt going to be taken?"
"Yes." Wei Yuanhang nodded repeatedly.
She put the quilt aside, looked around the pile of things, picked up the wooden box, put the pile of blocks in it, and asked, "What about this one?"
Wei Yuanhang looked at the wooden box, then at the toys on the bed, and nodded with difficulty, "...yes."
"That's all right, take these two away, while you're still at home, hurry up and play with the rest." He Xiaoyun smiled.
The child pursed his mouth and said pitifully, "Mom is good or bad."
He Xiaoyun pinched his face, "I can't help it, it's my son who told you that your life is miserable."
The closer the parting is, the faster time seems to pass. When He Xiaoyun goes out to wash clothes or take a walk in the past few days, she will deliberately look at the scenery around her. Although she has not been here for a long time, she already likes it. It is not busy at all. But a simple and beautiful place.
Two days later, she received a telegram from Wei Jianwei, confirming the pick-up time there, and she left Qingshuihe with the child.
