The 80s Chronicle: Addiction To the Army’s Young Wife

Chapter 145: 【The Fated Mandarin Duck】

Dinner is the leftovers at noon. Although the family background of the Yin family is very rich, Mr. Yin and Yin Ke's parents came from hard times, and they would never dislike leftovers. Yin Ke is naturally not that kind. Children who can't eat this kind of food will have to be beaten to death by Mr. Yin.

Xu Ning made a small pot of pimple soup in the kitchen. The water used in it was delicious and mellow. Even though they had eaten a lot at noon, the men still drank three bowls each. If you pretend, you will definitely continue to drink.

Because Yin Ke is here tonight, Xie Zheng has no chance to have any ambiguity with Xu Ning, so he can only sit in the living room and watch TV. The TV is imported, the color is 29 inches, and it is currently the largest in China. Yes, the price is naturally not cheap, but I can't stand the color, Xu Rui especially likes to watch cartoons together with Xiao Huihui.

Until ten o'clock in the evening, Qin Xuejuan stepped forward to pick up her son who was sleeping on the sofa, and called Xiao Huihui to go to bed together.

In fact, Qin Xuejuan didn't want Xiao Huihui to sleep in the house, but she had been with Xu Rui since she was a child, and didn't let him in at night. She built a nest for Xiao Huihui in the corner of the bedroom, and there were also cushions inside, and Huihui also knew that it was convenient to go to the bathroom, otherwise Qin Xuejuan would not agree to her son crying again.

When Qin Xuejuan plans to let Xu Rui sleep alone next year, it's time to exercise.

Seeing her mother go back, Xu Ning also greeted Xie Zheng and Yin Ke, "Don't watch it too late, I'm going to bed too."

"Go, don't forget to close the window at night, the weather forecast just said that there may be light rain tonight, don't catch cold." Xie Zheng warned carefully.

Yin Ke looked at his good buddies meanly, so he followed after caring so much.

How could he have known that if he hadn't had the cheek to stay here, the two young lovers would have found a place to kiss me long ago.

"I know." Xu Ning got up, yawned, and walked slowly along the porch to the backyard at home.

Chaoshou veranda is built along the eaves of the wall along the Taoist verandah after entering from the gate, and there are rolled up curtains under the eaves of Chaoshou veranda. Corroded by the wind and rain, it can also be moldy and rotten, and it can also be used when traveling between rooms without getting wet when passing through the verandah.

Yin Ke stood by the bed, looking at the lit floor lamps in the backyard, decorating the backyard like a dream.

"This is obviously the imperial capital, but in Xu Ning's house, it's like being in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River."

Xie Zheng pursed his lips and said, "This house has cost a lot of money from the time it was bought, to the later repairs, and now. But compared to those newly built high-rise buildings, I still like this style of house, retro and modern Combined, and the sunlight is also incorporated to the maximum extent, it is much more comfortable and comfortable than the high-rise buildings with steel structures."

"That's what it means." Yin Ke opened his mouth and yawned, "Go upstairs and sleep. I tossed and tossed at school until the early hours of the morning before falling asleep. I was woken up very early in the morning by my brother in the dormitory."

"Well, you go first, I'll go after I finish watching the news." Xie Zheng pointed to the CCTV news on the TV and said.

Yin Ke didn't say much, and walked upstairs while yawning. He went upstairs to have a look first in the afternoon. Although the room was not big, the bed was very comfortable.

In summer, if the front and rear windows are open, it is absolutely cool and comfortable to sleep at night. In winter, there are radiators in the room, which can be heated by themselves, so it is guaranteed not to be cold.

Even if Xu Ning took a shower and got into the bed, the quilt was slightly cool, but it didn't make people feel cold. Lying down for a while, the smooth fabric was against the skin, as if people were in the clouds.

She just closed the layer of tulle on the inside of the curtain, and the thick sky-blue curtain on the outside did not move. The faint light outside the window shone in through the tulle curtain, with a hazy beauty. A faint woody fragrance, very light but not pungent, this herbaceous fragrance will make people relax.

In the dimness, the light outside seemed to be turned on, and Xu Ning fell asleep unknowingly.

The next morning, she was awakened by the light.

Hui Hui could be heard faintly outside the window. Xu Ning got out of bed barefoot, went to the window and opened the curtains, and pushed open the wooden door of the balcony. It was raining slightly, and the sky in the distance was covered with mist. On the lawn downstairs, Xu Ruizheng and Huihui were chasing after each other. Huihui's tail was like a propeller, chasing after the little master, and barking at the same time Then, occasionally seeing Xu Rui showing signs of falling, Hui Hui would rush over to make a meat pad for the little master.

"Sister, get up and eat." Seeing Xu Ning on the balcony, Xu Rui hugged Huihui's neck and shouted at her with a smile, his voice was clear and full of vitality.

"Come on, don't play anymore." After coming back and changing clothes, after washing up, she went downstairs to the front yard.

It's not too late for Xu Ning to wake up, Yin Ke hasn't woken up yet, Xie Zheng also hasn't come down the stairs, but grandparents seem to have walked around the house a few times, and they just came back from morning exercises.

"Morning, grandpa and grandma!" Xu Ning watched as the two entered the door hand in hand, "Isn't there a park nearby? Are there many people doing morning exercises?"

"Not old or young." Yu Chunhua looked at her granddaughter, "Did you sleep well last night?"

"New bed and new quilt, of course I slept well." Xu Ning held his grandmother's arm, "Where's your elder brother?"

"Of course it's comfortable." Uncle Yao squinted his eyes, not to mention how happy he was. This is the place where he lived when he was a child, and the room where he now sleeps with his wife is also where he slept when he was a child. Although the layout has been slightly changed, the bed is not his. The bed that he used when he was a child was still comfortable and made him feel at ease.

Because the two old people were getting old, Qin Xuejuan didn't give them Simmons, but laid a few layers of soft quilts on the bed, the old man's bones could not withstand the toss of Simmons, and his whole body would be sore after sleeping for one night.

And next to the kitchen in the east wing of the front yard, there is another heated kang, which is prepared for the two elderly people in winter. Sleeping on the heated kang is good for the body, keeping you healthy from the cold, and you can move in to sleep when the weather is cold, although the room is not big , The lighting is not too good, the advantage is that I only sleep and do nothing else.

After all, every room in the house is equipped with radiators, and no room in the house will be cold in winter.

Qin Xuejuan came out of the kitchen and saw the morning exerciser come back, she said to Xu Rui: "Ruirui, go upstairs and ask brother to get up and eat."

"Oh, I'm going now." Xu Rui ran into the living room and ran to the second floor with his calves.

Xie Zheng had already woken up, and was lying on a recliner on the balcony reading a book, Yin Ke next door was probably still in bed, it was only seven o'clock in the morning, and that guy always liked to loaf under the covers .

"Brother." Xu Rui rushed in, saw that the quilt had been folded, then turned his head and went to the next door.

At half past seven, everyone sat in the living room and had breakfast.

"Are you going to the flower and bird market in the morning?" Yu Chunhua looked at the children in front of her, "Then buy some flowers and come back, don't be the kind who loves to attract bugs."

"We plan to see if there is any lotus root for sale. We will plant it in the pond in the backyard, and then buy koi of several colors to put in." Xu Ning sipped the millet porridge, "This kind of words are beautiful and clean, and I always think otherwise. If it is particularly fragrant, it is impossible not to attract bugs, right? If it is opened, it is not good to attract bees.”

"Lotus is fine too." Yu Chunhua nodded, and then said to the old Yao uncle beside her: "The lotus pond behind our village is more beautiful. At most, twenty or thirty of them can be planted by eating sugar in the backyard of our house. It's better if it's bigger."

Uncle Yao laughed when he heard the words: "How much bigger do you want? When the Qing Dynasty was an official, the size of the official's mansion was strictly regulated. Of course, those favored ministers are not counted. It is impossible that the emperor can give them an imperial gift house." The mansions, and then the mansions where the royal relatives live, look at the ruins, the ruins, and the ruins. The only ones that are intact are the limited mansions of the princes, which have also been converted into scenic spots by the country, how could they be sold to us. "

"That's true." Yu Chunhua nodded, "I'm not saying that I want to live in a big house. I feel that our village is spacious when I go out. Looking at the imperial capital, there are houses besides houses when I go out. Speaking of which, our house is very good. .”

Xu Ning put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth, "If grandma thinks the garden at home is small, let's open up the house next door. The houses in the backyard are all dilapidated and outrageous. You can tear it down and expand a garden."

"Aren't you going to open a shop in the house next door?"

"I need to study for eight years now, but the house next door can't be left for eight years. At worst, I will look at it later. The land in my mother's hand is estimated to start construction in the next two years. I can also let my mother give it to me over there. A location, or if my mother buys land again in the future, I can choose."

"I think this idea is quite good." Xie Zheng agreed with Xu Ning's opinion, "Grandma hasn't visited the next door yet, has she?"

"Why didn't I go there? I went to the next door half a month ago. Did no one live there before? It's overgrown with weeds, and there are bugs and mice crawling everywhere. It's so dirty, and the house is also dilapidated." Yu Chunhua said with a regretful face.

Speaking of this, Yin Ke knew better than Xie Zheng, "It turns out that this house is lived in by the Garden Bureau, and there seems to be some kind of office next door, but Grandma Yu doesn't know that this kind of house is very troublesome to maintain. , and then the department next door moved to the new government building. It’s been almost six or seven years, and no one is in charge of the house. Even if you want to, you don’t have time. There were a lot of houses like this in the imperial capital 20 or 30 years ago , Since ten years ago, these houses have been unoccupied for a long time, and many of them are simply unlivable. Even if someone wants to buy, who would be willing to buy it after seeing that look, it is better to buy a new one, compared to this Planting wooden houses, they prefer to live in foreign-style villas."

"No matter what, since the next door has been bought, we must not let the house continue to be abandoned. If there is time, we can repair it." Yu Chunhua and Qin Xuejuan said.

Qin Xuejuan smiled and nodded in agreement.

In fact, there is no need for her mother-in-law to say that Qin Xuejuan also needs to be repaired. Since her daughter is not going to open a shop here, she should open up the yard and expand the pond. At that time, there will be more lotuses in it, more koi, and then a building in the middle. The gazebo, by the way, plant some trees, and of course build a garage on the other side. The family will definitely buy a car in the future. Thinking that the house will soon become a small two thousand square meters, that kind of feeling is not very good.

She likes this kind of retro-style house very much. After all, European-style villas have been lived in since childhood. She didn't even hear her when she went to pee.

In the morning, the little guy proudly told him about it.

"Then let's start the construction earlier, and try to finish the decoration before the Chinese New Year." Qin Xuejuan looked at Xie Zheng and said with a smile, "Bring your grandparents to live here during the Chinese New Year."

"Okay." Xie Zheng nodded.

Yin Ke opened his mouth and said he wanted to come, but when he thought about how close his family and Xu's family were to Xie Zheng's family, he had to give up.

"Yin Ke is welcome if you want to." Qin Xuejuan smiled warmly.

Yin Ke sighed, "For Chinese New Year, my family can't let me go out and run around, but I come back during the first month to pay New Year's greetings to my grandparents, uncles and aunts."

"Okay, we'll be waiting for you at home."

Since it is going to be renovated, I will not go to the flower and bird market today, but living near the imperial city, there are many places to play, such as Houhai, Jingshan, etc., just wander around in any place, and a day will pass.

"Let's go to Quanjude at noon." Xie Zheng looked at Xu Ning, "Have you eaten yet?"

"No." Xu Ning's eyes lit up immediately. Although he had never eaten it before, these three words were famous far and wide.

Xie Zheng saw the little girl's bright eyes, with a slight smile on her lips, and her eyes were as soft as water, "I'll take you there at noon to have a taste."

"Um!"

"Do mom and dad want to eat?" Qin Xuejuan looked at the two old people.

The old Yao uncle smiled very proudly, "You play your game, we want to eat, so we go together by ourselves."

Well, the relationship between these two old people is really very good. They usually do morning exercises, go shopping, and even pick up their grandson to and from school. Occasionally, they will take advantage of the working day when the grandson is in school, and take the bus to the neighborhood hand in hand. various tourist attractions.

The most amazing time was last week. The two of them spent five working days in the Forbidden City. They didn’t finish watching it until they changed to Jingshan and other scenic spots. They even thought about waiting for the two of them. Go around the Great Wall.

Qin Xuejuan is not at ease, you two old people are going to climb the Great Wall, it is so tiring, it is a pity that I can't persuade you.

That afternoon, Xie Zheng returned to school, but Xu Ning was not in a hurry to go back because he had no class on Monday morning.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, because there is only one day of statutory holiday, Xu Jianjun has no way to come to the family reunion. He can only call his wife to relieve the pain of lovesickness.

Qin Xuejuan listened cautiously from the side. After all, her father-in-law was watching TV with her grandson in the living room, and her mother-in-law and daughter were cooking lunch in the kitchen. She was really afraid that her father-in-law and son would hear her husband's coquettish voice on the phone, and she would be ashamed to death .

"Do you think I don't want you?" Qin Xuejuan said in a low voice.

Xu Jianjun smiled like the second idiot, "I must miss me, I know."

"It's good to know. You have worked so hard that you have come to the county from the town. I believe you will be able to come to the imperial capital from the county." Qin Xuejuan held the phone and said with flushed cheeks, "I know best Your abilities are definitely fine."

"Then I will go from the town to the city, then the province, and then go to the imperial capital. It will take ten or twenty years. I will be old by then." Xu Jianjun said so, but his voice was gone Lost, but still full of energy, "I will not let you down, I will continue to go up, no matter where you go in the future, people will say that you, Qin Xuejuan, have the right vision when they mention you."

Qin Xuejuan's eyes immediately became moist, and she nodded again and again, "Yeah, I'm looking forward to it, even now I can tell everyone that my eyes have never missed it."

"It's a holiday today. You can't cry, lest your parents and children laugh at you." Xu Jianjun also felt sour in his heart. How long has it been since he slept with his wife in his arms? Someone is waiting to make a call, let’s not talk about it today, I will call you from the factory phone when I get home at night, and wait until my parents fall asleep after ten o’clock, okay?”

"Okay, I'll wait for your call."

"Goodbye, daughter-in-law."

Only then did the pair of fateful mandarin ducks hang up the phone reluctantly.

Qin Xuejuan was going to help in the kitchen, but when she turned around, she almost knocked her son down.

"Ouch my sweet son, what are you doing standing behind mommy?"

"Dad's phone number?" Xu Rui and Hui Hui looked up at their mother together, "I haven't talked to Dad yet."

"..." Qin Xuejuan wanted to dig a hole to get in.

Just now, I was so focused on talking to my husband that I forgot to let my children talk to their father.

But how dare she say that she forgot, if her in-laws and daughter find out, they will definitely laugh at her.

"Good boy, Rui Rui, dad is busy with work, can I let you talk to dad later in the evening?"

Xu Rui looked at his mother with big black eyes, and nodded after a while, pursing his mouth, "Okay, don't forget this time, mom."

Qin Xuejuan covered her face and went out.

Well, she failed and didn't lie to her son.

How old is this kid, is he too smart? Can you see this?

Xu Rui led Hui Hui to sit down beside his grandfather, "Mom must have forgotten that I have a son just now."

Uncle Yao looked at his grandson's small appearance, and laughed loudly, "Your parents haven't seen each other for a long time, and they must have a lot to say, why are you joining in the fun?"

"My father and I haven't seen each other for a long time." Rui Bao felt a little aggrieved.

"There are still more than four months, and Dad will come over, and he will be with you every day." Uncle Yao comforted his little grandson, and that was all he could do. After all, Xu Jianjun is a state cadre, and work is still important.

Children, although the mood is easy to repeat, but the recovery is also very fast.

After the delicious food was served, the little guy completely forgot the pain of thinking about his father just now.

dad? Only after eating can I have the energy to think about my father.
