Chinese people have zero tolerance for spies.
Perhaps the men from each household said something when they returned home. Although the military families remained silent, they still found time in their busy schedules to conduct a carpet search of the entire family compound.
Tian Mi needed to observe a double confinement period, so she did not participate in this operation.
"Where can it be hidden? Has it been burned? Does it mean it doesn't exist? Are we being tricked? Otherwise, how could we not find even a trace of it after several days?"
Tian Mi is changing the diaper for her daughter Zhenzhu. The child is already one month old. Although she still sleeps most of the time, she can already have simple interactions with her when she wakes up.
Moreover, her two babies are really well-behaved. From the time they were born to now, they have cried loudly only a few times.
Or maybe it was because the children were too well-behaved, and Tian Mi, as a mother, actually enjoyed teasing them.
For example, right now, after cleaning my daughter's little butt and changing her into a dry diaper, when her little feet were lifted up and kicking around, I scratched her pink soles in a mean way.
Then when she saw her little body frowning and dodging, she was so happy.
Hearing her elder sister's complaint, Tian Mi subconsciously replied: "Could it be buried underground? Or in the cracks of the wall?"
Isn't that how it's played out in TV dramas? Maybe by banging and hammering, you can find a mechanism.
"Hey! We've searched everywhere, even turned the vegetable plots upside down. You didn't see it, the entire compound is full of pits. We've almost dug three feet into the ground, but we found nothing. Could there really be an accomplice?" Whenever she thought about the possibility that there was a poisonous snake hiding in the dark, she felt uneasy.
Tian Mi also rubbed her arms: "Sister, don't scare me."
"I'm not scary at all. Oh, forget it. I won't talk to you anymore. I'll look for it again. I hope I can find it." Everyone felt uneasy because they didn't find it that day.
Seeing that her elder sister came and went in a hurry, Tian Mi couldn't help but feel worried when she was dressing the baby.
Over the next few days, the noise of searching outside became quieter and quieter, but everyone's mood didn't get much better.
There is no other reason. The information that was previously stolen by the enemy spies has not been found yet.
Especially after all the soldiers in the entire army were reorganized and checked, they still could not find any clues.
Everyone agreed that there was a ninety-nine percent chance that the document had been destroyed, either burned or thrown into the sea.
No matter which one it is, the body has been destroyed and all traces have been covered, so it is impossible to find it.
And it is impossible for everyone on the island to waste time just for a seemingly plausible statement from the enemy spy.
So, in the end, Brigadier General Wang gave the order and the matter was over.
However, Tian Mi kept it in mind, thinking that after she was over her second month of confinement, she might go out to sea for a try.
I heard from my elder sister earlier that spring here is very short.
Tian Mi has truly seen it. After all, the mountains only begin to turn green in mid-to-late April. How could it not be short
But after living on the island for nearly a year, she discovered that it was not the spring that was short, but that the spring, summer and autumn were all very short.
Just a few days ago, the soybeans started to ring their bells, and in the blink of an eye, it is already cold October.
On the day she left confinement, Tian Mi went to the bathhouse and scrubbed herself vigorously.
When I came out, I felt light and airy.
One was comfort, and the other was that she felt she had rubbed out at least two kilograms of ash, which was very light.
The only thing that made her heart heavy was that it had been forty days since Huihui left, and there was still no news.
No matter how normal you behave on weekdays, you can't help but feel anxious when it's late at night and everyone is asleep.
Tian Mi didn't want to be like a resentful woman who was sad and worried about her man all day long, but she knew the danger he was facing and as his close lover, she really couldn't remain indifferent.
The best way is to divert your attention and try not to be idle.
So, on the morning of the second day after her confinement, she decided to go to the sea.
Tian Yu knew her sister's ability to swim, but she was still worried: "I'll go with you and wait on the shore."
Hearing this, Tian Mi pointed at the little guy sleeping in the cot and asked jokingly, "What about him? You can't just throw them all to Aunt Gu, along with the two at home, right?"
Chengcheng is already three and a half months old. He is no longer willing to stay stuck at home and wakes up more and more often. In order to prevent the little one from crying, the eldest sister has to hold him in her arms all the time.
Tian Mi secretly wanted to make his elder sister feel more relaxed, so he worked with the carpenter to make a small cart.
Although it is still a bit heavy, since it is made of wood after all, it is much easier now than holding it in my hand all the time.
Tian Yu looked at her youngest son, who was staring at his younger siblings with curiosity, and realized that it was impossible for him to go with his younger sister. She rubbed her brows and couldn't help complaining again: "This little ancestor, I must have owed him in my last life, so he tortured me in this life."
Hearing this, Tian Mi joked, "It's hard to say."
"How about we go tomorrow? Can't the third girl have a day off tomorrow? Let her go with you?" Seeing his sister start to pack her things for going to the sea, Tian Yu was still a little worried and followed her around and chattered.
Tian Mi loves water. She has been feeling very upset recently because her husband has not returned home for a long time.
Swimming in the sea is a good way to relieve stress, at least it can make her feel better.
She was eager to go into the sea, but when she met her elder sister's worried gaze, Tian Mi pursed her lips and finally nodded and agreed.
Forget it, one day won’t make a difference, why make my elder sister worry.
In the evening, the two families did not get together for dinner. Only Tian Mi and Aunt Gu were at the table.
After the confinement period, Tian Mi finally doesn’t have to eat such light food anymore. Although she still has to control her diet due to breastfeeding, it is much better now than before.
It's cold again.
On the evening of early October, the temperature had already reached zero degrees. Not long after dinner, Tian Mi had just made milk tea when the third sister came over with a book.
Learn math today.
The little girl was very hardworking. She worked part-time and studied at the same time. After just a few months, she had already learned most of the junior high school knowledge.
Because Xinxin is making rapid progress, her eldest brother-in-law has volunteered to solve her school enrollment problem. She only needs to go to school to take the high school entrance examination next year.
As usual, Tian Mi finished today's two-hour class and assigned some homework to consolidate the knowledge. Then she sat aside, watching the children while unpacking their down jackets.
Last winter, she made down jackets not only for herself and Huihui, but also for her parents-in-law and her father Tian Hongxing.
Another thing is that my hometown is in the south, where the lowest temperature is only a few degrees below zero, and that's still probabilistic, so a cotton jacket can basically withstand it.
But that's not the case here, as a severe frost is about to come. Tian Mi plans to check whether the down is infested with bugs. If everything is intact, she can make one for each of her younger brothers and sisters this year and send them back.
Now that she had work to do, she calmed down her restless heart. However, the girl, who usually studied hard, was distracted several times today.
When she was distracted for the fourth time, Tian Mi raised her hand and knocked on the table: "What's wrong with you today? Are you distracted all the time?"
Tian Xin came back to her senses and smiled at her sister embarrassedly. She didn't explain anything, but asked shyly: "Second sister, I want to stay at your house today."
Although a little surprised to hear this, Tian Mi still agreed.
But when she finished washing up and helped her third sister make the bed at night, Tian Mi still asked the question that had been on her mind all night: "Tell me, what happened to you today? Were you bullied in the hospital?"
That shouldn’t be the case. Earlier, she and her elder sister were worried and would go to the health station to check from time to time.
Later, the little girl got along well with everyone. She had a good personality, was hardworking and kind-hearted, and her fragile little face easily aroused people's desire to protect her, so most people were quite friendly to her.
Thinking of this, Tian Mi suddenly remembered that half a month ago, she heard from her elder sister that the health station had transferred several medical staff, and now new people have been added. Could it be that some of the newcomers bullied the little girl
Tian Xin quickly shook her head: "No, no, no one bullies me, everyone is very nice, and I am usually busy with work or studying, so I don't have much free time. Why would anyone bully me?"
At this point, the little girl's face showed distress again, and she seemed to not know what to say.
Tian Mi was very patient and did not rush her, just waited quietly.
After struggling for about two minutes, Tian Xin finally spoke out her dilemma. She was staying at her second sister's house today just to have a chat with her: "It's... it's about a new male doctor who wants to date me."
Hearing this, Tian Mi was not very surprised. People in this era got married early, and even if they were not yet adults, they could hold a wedding banquet without getting a marriage certificate. What's more, the third sister would be 18 years old in three or four months.
But Tian Mi always believed that this situation was still extremely rare.
So, when this unknown male doctor expressed his desire to have a relationship when her third sister was 17 years old, she subconsciously did not have a good impression of him.
However, she did not rush to express her opinion, but looked at her third sister: "If you don't like him, just refuse him directly."
Tian Xin opened her eyes wide: "Second sister, how do you know I don't like him?"
Tian Mi thought, there is no joy on your face, how could you possibly like her? But she said teasingly: "I can see that, Second Sister is smart!"
The honest little girl's big eyes were full of stars: "Second sister has always been very smart!"
These words were spoken sincerely, and Tian Mi accepted them without any guilt: "So, you refused, but the doctor still pestered you? Which one was it?"
Hearing this, Tian Xin sighed in distress: "I don't know if it counts as pestering. His name is Lin Jinyuan, and he's one of the newly transferred doctors. He's very strange. I've told him many times that I won't talk about getting married before I'm 20. I've been hiding from him these past few days, but he insisted on telling others that I was hiding from him because I was shy."
Tian Mi twitched her lips and said, "I understand. It's probably the kind of thing that makes others admire him if they take a second look at him."
The little girl didn't hear the teasing in her sister's words. She just wrinkled her nose and said aggrievedly, "I didn't look at him either. At most, I took a look when the director introduced him on the first day I came. I always remember it. You told me that men with smiling faces are cunning. I don't like that."
What an honest kid. She didn't know why, but she felt guilty. "Ahem... Don't bother with this kind of person. You have to learn to be a little more fierce. If he says something nonsense again, just be fierce back." She was thinking in her heart that when the third sister goes to work the day after tomorrow, she must go and take a look at him with the eldest sister. For this kind of person, his crooked thoughts must be suppressed from the beginning.
However, Tian Mi looked at her sister suspiciously: "You will be fierce, right?" She seemed to have never seen this girl angry before
Tian Xin felt insulted: "I'm not stupid!"
Tian Mi was trying not to laugh in her heart: "How about you show me how fierce you are?"
The angry little girl answered her by pushing the person out.
"Hahaha, why did you push me? Didn't you say we should sleep together tonight?"
Tian Xin
It was 1:30 in the morning and everything was quiet.
Lou Luhui returned to the army on a military truck.
Zhou Jianshe, who drove to pick him up, looked at his friend's arm in a sling and asked, "Should we report to Brigade Wang first, or should we send you home first? Oh, my sister-in-law has been thinking about you a lot these days, so comfort her when you get back. It just so happens that you need to rest for a few days because of the gunshot wound on your arm, so you can accompany her."
Hearing this, the somewhat sloppy man glanced at his arm. Thinking of Tiantian, his heart softened, but he still said, "Let's go find Wang Lu first. There are some things I need to report to him first. He should still be waiting for me. Also, Lao Tang is being treated in the provincial hospital, and we need to arrange someone to take care of him as soon as possible."
Zhou Jianshe naturally had no intention of doing anything. He turned the steering wheel and parked the car directly in front of the brigade commander's house.
Sure enough, the lights in the house were still on.
This report took two or three hours.
By the time we came out of Wang Lu's house, the wake-up call had already sounded.
The couple had been separated for such a long time, and Lou Luhui was always thinking about her. He walked back quickly and hurriedly, and his heavy mood also brightened a little.
When he saw smoke coming out of the chimney in the house from afar, he guessed that Aunt Gu had already gotten up. Worried that knocking on the door would disturb his wife, he went around to the kitchen and knocked on the window.
When she opened the door and saw Lou Luhui with a full beard and tired eyes, especially his arm in a sling, Aunt Gu was both happy and surprised. She stepped aside and asked in a low voice after the person entered the room, "Are you injured? Are you okay?"
Lou Luhui smiled and said, "Aunt, it's okay. It will be fine in a few days. Is there any hot water at home? I'll wash myself up and then go see Tiantian and the kids."
Knowing that the young couple had a good relationship and that they had been apart for more than forty days, Aunt Gu did not nag too much. She closed the door carefully and replied, "There is hot water. I always have it ready. If it's not enough for a bath, it's enough for a wipe."
As she spoke, she went to the kitchen to fetch some water. Seeing him follow in, Aunt Gu waved her hand and said, "I'll fetch it for you. Your hand is injured."
Lou Lu thought that it was not necessary, as he only injured his right hand and his left hand was fine. However, his aunt did not even give him a chance to speak and went to the bathroom with two bottles of boiled water.
Seeing this, the man smiled helplessly. Well, even Aunt Gu was so nervous. He could already predict his wife’s reaction when she saw the wound.
Well. As long as he is not forced to go out to sleep, Lou Luhui feels that any punishment is acceptable. After all, they have never been apart for such a long time. He misses her so much that if he was not so dirty and worried about disturbing his wife and children, he would have rushed into the room and hugged her.
However, he bent down and took out a large envelope from his bag, hoping that this would help put out the fire.
Even though he thought so, the man still hesitated when he reached the bedroom door. How could he get into the room to get a change of clothes when he was so dirty? Was there only one way to wake up Tiantian
Aunt Gu put the water in and was about to come out to fetch more cold water when she saw Lu Hui standing at the bedroom door and wandering around. She then remembered something and slapped her forehead, "Oh, I forgot that Tian Xin is here. Tian Tian and the children are sleeping with her in the north room tonight."
Lou Luhui: A basin of cold water was poured over his head.
