There is a saying these days.
Wheat is sown on ice and harvested on fire.
The busy farming season at this time is quite different from that in later times.
Every August, when the temperature is the highest in the year, is the harvest season.
Tian Mi didn’t know what the army was like in later generations, but in that era, the 836th Army not only cultivated their own vegetable fields, raised chickens, ducks, geese and pigs, but also grew grain.
Anyway, we tried every possible way to increase the soldiers' rations, which was also a disguised way to reduce the burden on the organization.
Of course, due to the busy farming season, my husband has been coming home later and later lately.
That day, Tian Mi had already fallen asleep, and the man tiptoed into the house.
She was feeding her children. When she saw someone, she subconsciously glanced at the watch next to her pillow. It was almost 12 o'clock. She frowned and said, "So late? Are you hungry?"
Seeing that his wife was awake, Lou Luhui smiled on his somewhat tired face, as if he felt full of energy just by seeing them.
He walked over quickly, squatted beside his wife and children, and said in a low voice, "I'm not hungry. I just ate two steamed buns in the cafeteria. How about you? Were the children noisy this afternoon?"
"The children are only a few days old. They basically eat and sleep, and then eat. But you, if you are not hungry, go take a shower. There is hot water in the pot. Don't rush to rinse with cold water. Soak in it well and relax your muscles before coming out. I will massage your shoulders later." Noticing that there were some stains on her husband's hands and face, Tian Mi guessed that he had not taken a shower yet, so she whispered to him to go.
"Well, go now. Just come in to get your clothes."
"No need to take them. I've already hung your change of clothes on the hook behind the bathroom door. The towel is also there."
Hearing this, Lou Luhui lowered his eyebrows, revealing a beautiful arc, then leaned over and kissed his wife's cheek before turning around and leaving the house.
After everyone left, Tian Mi put on her slippers and got out of bed, holding the little Beike who had almost finished eating, and patted and coaxed him rhythmically.
Newborns sleep a lot, so after only about five minutes of coaxing the little guy, he closed his eyes again.
Seeing this, Tian Mi's eyebrows curved, and she couldn't help but lower her head and gently touch her son's forehead, then carefully placed him on the small bed.
He covered himself with the quilt, touched his daughter Pearl's little face, and then tiptoed out the door.
Then head straight to the kitchen.
There was a bowl of chicken soup in the cupboard. Tian Mi took it out, poured it into a clean iron pot, and lit it to heat it.
Lou Luhui was used to taking quick showers, but this time, he listened to his wife and soaked in the tub for more than ten minutes before getting up.
Perhaps it was a side effect of soaking his feet every day. Now that he had taken a hot bath, he felt that his whole body was indeed much more comfortable.
After washing up, he also washed the clothes that were soaked earlier and were full of dirt.
When he opened the bathroom door and came out, he found that the kitchen light was on and a strong fragrance was coming from inside.
Lou Luhui walked over, wiping his hair, and found that it was Tiantian.
Under the dim light, I saw my wife using a spoon to scoop soup into a large bowl.
Thinking she was hungry, Lou Luhui walked over quickly, casually threw the towel over his shoulders, and reached out to take the bowl and spoon: "Let me do it, don't burn yourself, are you hungry?"
Tian Mi shook her head and moved aside: "I'll heat it up for you."
The busy farming season is the most tiring. These days my husband not only has to work intensively during the day, but also has to take care of the children at night. If this continues, even the strongest person will not be able to bear it.
I didn't expect that it was heated for me. Although my wife only said a simple sentence, I could tell that she felt sorry for me.
Lou Luhui felt warm in his heart, and instead of saying he didn't want to drink, he leaned over and kissed his wife again before smiling and asking, "Would you like a small bowl?"
Tian Mi put her arms around the man's waist and leaned against him lazily: "No more drinking. I have something to drink every day, so I don't mind this one. This bowl is specially reserved for you. By the way, make yourself a glass of milk every morning from now on. It's good for your health."
"Forget about the milk powder. Leave it to you and the child."
"The child doesn't need to drink milk powder. I can't finish it by myself. If you don't want it, I will get up every morning and make it for you." Even if she was ignorant, Tian Mi knew that children in later generations would drink special milk powder. She didn't know whether the current milk powder that was suitable for everyone would be good for children, but when she had enough milk, she would not give her children milk powder.
Maybe in some people's minds, her behavior was too hypocritical, but she didn't dare to bet on the possibility that newborns were different from adults. How weak was their immunity? Whoever gave birth to the baby would feel sorry for it.
"Okay, okay, I'll drink it. I'll make myself a cup every morning, okay?" Lou Luhui had never been able to do anything with his wife, so he quickly surrendered with a smile.
For fear of disturbing Aunt Gu and the eldest sister, the two did not go to the living room and directly put the chicken soup on the stove.
While her husband went out to move a stool, Tian Mi went to the cupboard to get chopsticks and a soup spoon.
Lou Luhui only moved a stool, and after sitting down, he did not rush to drink the soup, but reached out to hold his wife on his lap. It was obvious that the man always remembered that she could not stand for a long time.
Tian Mi slapped him in amusement and said, "You eat your food, how can you eat it if you hold me? Don't let the soup drip onto me."
As she spoke, she bent down and took the small firewood stool from the stove, sat down next to the man, adjusted herself into a comfortable position, and lay on his lap.
Seeing this, Lou Luhui chuckled and spread his right legs to make his wife lie more comfortably.
"How long will you be busy? Will you work so late every day in the future? Didn't you say you had a combine feeder?" Tian Mi lay down for a while, then propped up his head to look at people. He had become thinner and darker.
The man swallowed the chicken in his mouth before replying: "We will have to be busy for more than a week. It will be almost September. We only have one combine and we only borrowed it for two days. Besides, there are many places where the machine cannot take care of. It still needs manual labor."
Tian Mi had no idea what a harvester was, but her husband was willing to explain it to her, so she was willing to listen.
Just like that, in the simple kitchen, the two of them lowered their voices tacitly, one spoke while the other listened, and the audience would ask a few questions from time to time, which was another kind of warmth.
Especially when the dim light in the middle of the night shines on the young couple, it adds a reassuring halo to the already warm atmosphere.
After dinner, Tian Mi went back to the bedroom because her husband didn't allow her to touch water.
Out of habit, I looked at the child first and found that little Beike's little hand had struggled out from the thin quilt and raised it above his head.
Tian Mi was immediately happy. This sleeping position was exactly the same as hers. She liked to sleep with her hands raised above her head.
Genes are really amazing things. The children look different almost every day after being born for a week.
I don’t know if everyone says this, but now she feels that her daughter looks more like her, especially since she has a black mole on her earlobe, which little Pearl has clearly inherited. If anyone says that her daughter doesn’t look like her, she herself won’t believe it.
And the shape of the nails on her feet is exactly the same as hers.
Just when Tian Mi was lying on the small wooden bed, being obsessed with her own child and saying that he was the most beautiful, Lou Luhui pushed the door and walked in.
So there was one more silly human being. If she wasn't worried about the man having to get up early the next day, she would be so engrossed in just pinching his little hands and playing with his little feet.
the next day.
When the wake-up call sounded, Lou Luhui went out in high spirits.
All in all, I only slept for more than three hours.
Although Tian Mi felt distressed, she could only put more effort into the food. In the morning, in addition to porridge and steamed buns, which were good for hunger, she also prepared eggs and milk.
Worried that the man might get hungry, Tian Mi wrapped a few snacks in oil paper and put them in his pocket.
Only after she sent the person out did she simply rinse her mouth and start eating her own food.
Lou Yannan saw everything and was very happy for his brother.
Although my sister-in-law is young and looks spoiled, she is a caring person.
My parents are the same. No matter what happens, they always think of each other, as if it is an instinct engraved in their blood.
Perhaps it is because he grew up in such an environment that Lou Yanan is extremely picky about his partner.
Even in the eyes of most people, her husband is good enough to her. Compared with most people who live in chaos, they are considered a model couple.
But... she just doesn't want a man who is nice to her and gentle to others.
After being married for several years, the husband complained countless times that she was like a cold-blooded animal and could not be kept warm, and he hoped that she would be gentler and smile more.
But at the beginning, she obviously loved to laugh, and it was that man. Her husband said that the environment outside was not good in recent years, and her smile was too bright, so he asked her to try not to laugh.
As for being gentle and considerate, she felt that she had done all of that, she just didn't know how to say it.
Especially a few days ago, when she once again saw her husband speaking in a soft voice to the new pretty nurse, she suddenly felt it was quite boring.
In the past, she thought that she was not good at talking and had a straightforward personality, so she had to find a partner with a gentle personality.
Later, her husband pursued her relentlessly. People around him praised him, and the man was indeed very outstanding. He was also handsome. His family background was not as good as hers, but it was not bad either. So she agreed to date him, since everyone was going to get married anyway.
In this era, you can’t be in a relationship for too long, otherwise it will bring bad reputation, so they got married immediately after graduation within a few months.
After we got married and lived together, we realized that the tenderness was real, but it was not directed towards her alone, but towards all women.
Even now, several years later, Lou Yannan still remembers that in the second month after her marriage, when she was learning from the chief physician and came out of an operation exhausted, she went out with her bloodstained clothes on and saw her husband half-supporting and half-hugging a young nurse.
Although the man explained that the young nurse had sprained her foot and he happened to see it, he helped.
But the smugness on the nurse's face when she looked at herself was not fake, and the coldness all over her body at that moment was not fake either.
She didn't take the nurse's provocation seriously, and she didn't even know what she looked like. She just didn't understand why a male doctor had to come out when there were other female medical staff nearby? Didn't he see the strange looks from everyone
Later on, such things happened several times every year. After all, they were doctors in the same hospital and saw each other every day.
Of course, Lou Yannan didn’t know whether there were more such situations in the corners that she couldn’t see.
Although due to the changes in the environment later, there is no such intimate posture as before, but there are always scenes of you talking and I laughing.
Lou Yannan knew that her husband was not a bad person and he probably had not done anything to let her down.
But he just likes to show tenderness to others, and then enjoy their grateful and admiring gazes, regardless of gender, and almost without any distinction.
But she doesn't like it.
So, from some day on, whenever she saw such a scene again, her heart suddenly calmed down.
Later, because of her coldness, the man explained several times, but seeing that her attitude did not soften, he started a cold war.
They can't quarrel as a couple.
Her husband cares too much about his reputation and advocates gentlemanly manners, but she doesn't like to argue.
They are all proud people, so this cold war, no one is willing to give in, has lasted for about half a year.
But she is 32 years old this year. She has always wanted a child, but she has been hesitating whether to continue with her husband.
I started to hesitate from the second month after my marriage.
After all, divorce is not a good thing these days, and in the eyes of most people, she is somewhat ungrateful for wanting a divorce from such a good husband.
However, the feeling of two people living under the same roof but being worse than strangers is too suffocating.
So when her brother called her to tell her the good news, she suddenly made an impulsive decision.
Lou Yannan decided to give herself a vacation, get away from the familiar environment, stay away from that man, and calmly ask herself what she really wants.
Although she hasn't figured it out yet, she is indeed in a much better mood now that she has changed her world.
Sister Nan was in a daze again.
While eating breakfast, Tian Mi secretly glanced at the beauty opposite him.
The arrival of her elder sister-in-law did not make Tian Mi feel uncomfortable.
He is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. He doesn't talk much, but he is very good at taking care of people.
These days, with her husband at night and Sister Nan and Aunt Gu during the day, Tian Mi did almost nothing except breastfeeding.
Tian Yu was originally worried that her elder sister-in-law would be difficult to get along with, but after coming twice, she saw that she was taking care of her younger sister like a child. As a considerate elder sister, she was happy for her younger sister, but also embarrassed.
There is no other reason, it’s just that people are spoiled too much.
Not to mention that her elder sister felt embarrassed, even Tian Mi herself was embarrassed. At the same time, she was puzzled in her heart: how could anyone be willing to make such a beautiful, considerate, successful, and well-connected young lady sad
Yes, it's sad.
Tian Mi found that several times when she was with her husband, Sister Nan's expression was either lost or thoughtful.
At first, she wanted to talk to someone, after all, some things are easier to see from the sidelines.
However, I'm also worried that I might accidentally poke someone's wound.
Especially since she and Huihui were very happy, she always felt that no matter how she spoke, it would not be appropriate.
Later, Tian Mi simply suppressed her curiosity and pretended not to notice that Sister Nan was distracted more and more often, and just accompanied her quietly.
Of course, if Sister Nan is willing to chat with her, she would be happy to be a good listener.
Just as Tian Mi took a bite of half an egg, she heard Nan Jie, who had come to her senses at some point, say, "I've made an appointment with the military families in the family compound to go to the back mountain to pick raspberries and blackcurrants. I won't be making clothes with you in the morning, so you can have fun by yourself."
Why did the egg in Tian Mi's mouth suddenly lose its fragrance
Looking at the icy beauty elder sister-in-law dressed warmly, carrying a bamboo basket, and walking happily towards Aunt Mei, Tian Mi, who was standing inside the door, admitted that she was jealous.
What a beautiful season it is, with mountains full of flowers, wild vegetables, mushrooms and wild fruits, but she can't go.
The most important thing is, the sea, the sea. By the time she had completed two months of confinement, it was already October.
It’s almost snowing in October.
Wow, it’s really miserable.
Of course, what caught her off guard was that there were even worse things to come.
"Tiantian, don't be angry. Sister Cuilan will bring them to you and give you a share of what she picks."
"That's right, Tiantian, we all remember you."
"Haha, Tiantian, don't listen to their teasing. They are just teasing you."
"That's right. Even if it doesn't work out this year, we still have next year. We shouldn't lose heart."
“.”
In order to distinguish the three sisters of the Tian family, and because Tian Mi is the youngest among the family members, after nearly a year of getting along, everyone has become very familiar with her and calls her by her nickname.
Knowing that these people were teasing her on purpose, Tian Mi put on a sweet fake smile and then slammed the door shut.
Suddenly, the military families outside burst into laughter.
Tian Mi
Ah! ~~ It’s so infuriating.
She sat down on the cushioned sofa and looked at Aunt Gu, who had a funny look on her face: "Aunt, I think a month of confinement is enough, what do you think?"
Aunt Gu was picking out the bran and pebbles from the rice. She said indifferently, "As long as your Hui agrees, it's fine."
Hey. How come you have learned to make fun of people
Tian Mi, who was full of anger, went back to her room and slept for another two hours.
After I got up, changed the diapers of the two babies and fed them, I suddenly heard the excited voice of my eldest sister outside the house.
Tian Mi, who was bored, suddenly became a little excited. She covered the children with thin quilts and hurried out the door.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the door opened, I saw my elder sister who was about to knock on the door. She asked curiously, "Sister, what happened?"
"Liu Xiujiu, Liu Xiujiu is here again. The young soldier on guard didn't let anyone in, so he's making a fuss at the door." Tian Yu, who was also bored, had a gossipy expression on his face and eyes.
Tian Mi was confused: "Who is Liu Xiuju?"
"Hey, what kind of memory is this? Captain Zhu's wife was the unlucky one who caused my brother-in-law to fall into the ice hole." Having said that, Tian Yu reached out and touched his sister's head with concern, looking as if he doubted that her brain was not working well.
"Don't we all call her Captain Zhu's wife? I just forgot about it for the moment. Why is she here? Didn't Captain Wang forbid her from joining the army?" How could she forget the idiot who caused her husband to jump into an ice hole to save someone and almost lost his life
No, if it weren’t for this accident, Huihui would have been killed by Liu Xiujiu and her young son.
Thinking of this, even though he knew things were different now, Tian Mi's face turned pale instinctively.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable? You just gave birth a few days ago, so don't rush to get out of bed. I, your sister, actually lay down for half a month before I dared to get out of bed." While muttering, Tian Yu swiftly helped her sister to walk to the kang.
Tian Mi came to her senses and held her elder sister's hand: "Sister, I'm fine. I just remembered that Huihui almost died in the ice hole before, and I'm a little scared. I'm in good health."
This is actually true. Tian Mi had discovered before that her physical fitness was incredibly good.
Especially after giving birth, I am recovering at an unreasonable speed.
To put it bluntly, if the pain of childbirth had not been so unbearable, and her belly had not yet returned to its pre-pregnancy flatness, coupled with two more babies, Tian Mi would have doubted whether she had really given birth to a child.
"Don't be afraid! It's all in the past. There's an old saying that goes, those who survive a great disaster will be blessed in the future! The good days for you and your brother-in-law are still ahead. We have to look forward, okay?" After listening to her sister's explanation, not to mention that she was afraid, Tian Yu herself was also terrified when she mentioned the situation at that time.
This is also the reason why she, who has always been kind to others, was particularly "harsh" about Liu Xiujiu's affairs. She was a troublemaker and she wished that she would have a bad life.
"By the way, big sister, why did you say Liu Xiuju came here?"
"Oh, oh, I don't know the details yet. I just heard someone in the family area say that her belongings seemed to have been scammed. Now she is making a fuss at the gate of the army with her three children. I was just about to go and see. Okay, I won't tell you anymore. Once Brigade Wang in the field receives the notice, he won't be able to see the good show." After saying that, she ran out in a hurry.
Before leaving, he did not forget to shout: "Don't go out, it's windy outside today. I will come back and tell you when I figure it out."
The sound that came back became smaller and smaller. When Tian Mi walked to the window and looked out, the eldest sister had already walked next door and called Tang Tuan's sister-in-law.
Seeing this, Tian Mi's expression was stunned for a moment. She always felt that the moment just now was somewhat similar to when Sister Nan "abandoned" her in the morning.
It's just... infuriating!
Fortunately, the elder sister came back after only half an hour, and said with a gloomy face: "I didn't see anyone. When Aihong and I rushed to the door, the soldier on guard said that the person had been taken away by the guards of Brigade Wang. I don't think we can find out what happened today. We are busy harvesting wheat. Brigade Wang and Political Commissar Liu, the two big leaders, have all gone to the fields. Who has time to take care of Liu Xiuju for a while?"
Tian Mi was not disappointed at all. She had thought she would hear some explosive gossip: "What about Captain Zhu?"
"I didn't see him either. I guess he went to the fields to harvest wheat. I won't talk to you anymore. It's almost time. My little brat will definitely start crying again. Fortunately, Guoguo can go to the nursery, otherwise I would go crazy." After she finished speaking, she spun out like a gust of wind.
Tian Migan, it seems that elder sister has recovered well. She is still a few days away from leaving the confinement period.
I’m really envious. Why doesn’t my brother-in-law take care of my eldest sister
Jealousy makes people ugly, and Tian Mi is experiencing it personally at this moment.
It's true. At this moment, she hopes that her elder sister will accompany her to continue her confinement.
When Sister Nan came back, she brought a basket full of wild fruits and mushrooms.
She was full of anticipation when she went out, and was even more smiling when she came back.
Knowing that she was having fun, Tian Mi was happy for her. She moved a small stool to sit beside her and picked with her: "We have a good harvest today, all good things."
Lou Yannan's lips had been curled up all the time, and they curled up even more when he heard her say, "More than half of them were brought to you by others. Everyone in your family quarters gets along pretty well, unlike in our hospital, where there are too many troubles."
Having said that, Tian Mi actually felt that there were intrigues everywhere, and there were some bad people in their family quarters as well.
For example, today's Liu Xiujiu and that Ma Erhua are both difficult to get along with.
Even in the army, it is still a small society. How can everyone there be good people
What my elder sister is experiencing can be considered as disharmony in the workplace.
Tian Mi has never worked, but she likes to watch videos. In that information-rich era, all kinds of weird things can be seen on them.
Tian Mi has seen situations where there are seven people in a company, six of whom are leaders.
She was just a little curious. Was there really someone who even bullied the commander's daughter
It's not that she is superficial, but most people are like this. They will be wary or in awe of those who come with a halo.
To put it bluntly, it is the instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm. You may not cling to others, but you will not target others maliciously either.
Tian Mi really doesn’t understand. Has the ideological awareness of people today become so high
Being so curious, she asked.
Unexpectedly, my elder sister-in-law said in a plain manner: "No one knows the situation in my family."
Tian Mi
Tian Mi didn't know what to say at this moment.
Maybe she is just an ordinary person. If this happened to her, since her father is a powerful person, she would definitely not hide it deliberately.
She doesn't want to bully others, but she also doesn't want to engage in intrigue or be bullied. If her identity would make those with ulterior motives hesitate, she would definitely tell them.
Well, I won’t mention the specific position at most.
As for how others isolate and badmouth her behind her back, she doesn't care, and it won't reach her ears.
Anyway, just don't cause trouble in person, it's just that superficial.
She is a person who cannot do what she wants even though she has the ability to do it, but she still forces herself to go through the process of being bullied like newcomers.
However, Tian Mi can also understand Sister Nan’s choice. As a doctor, it is ultimately up to you to decide with your skills.
Sister Nan probably doesn’t want her efforts to be labeled as the commander’s daughter.
Tian Mi couldn't do it herself, but she admired the tenacity of such people.
Together, the aunt and sister-in-law prepared a full basket of wild fruits and mushrooms in more than half an hour.
During this time, the two of them sat together and chatted about everything under the sun, and the distance between them became closer.
Just as Tian Mi was about to get up and go to the kitchen to get a basin to soak raspberries and blackcurrants, she suddenly heard Nan Jie ask, "Tiantian, do you think it's shameful for a person not to get married?"
Hearing this, Tian Mi’s butt, which was about to be raised, fell down steadily again.
She looked at the person and didn't rush to reply. After thinking for a few seconds, she asked a question that was appropriate for this era: "Then can I ask why you don't get married?"
Lou Yannan didn't look at anyone, he just lowered his head, picked up the last small bundle of mushrooms and started to pick them, his tone was particularly calm: "There is no special reason, maybe he thinks marriage is boring, or maybe he feels that he is too old and doesn't think he can be lucky enough to find the right person."
She didn't know why, but at that moment, Tian Mi felt that Sister Nan was talking about herself, especially she was sure that the last sentence "can't find" was the key point.
So she rolled her eyes and said excitedly, "If you don't want to get married, then don't get married. Just be happy. But I don't like to hear that you're old. What's there to be afraid of? Women are beautiful at any stage. Besides, find a younger brother. A younger brother is much more attractive!"
Outside the door.
Come back from work.
Lou Luhui's face darkened as he put his hand on the door handle.
On the contrary, Zhou Jianshe, who was following behind him, blushed.
