Chapter 46 - .046 Thoughtful
In the second half of the twelfth lunar month, Lao Zhao and Li Xijin took their children back to their hometown on vacation.
Lao Zhao is the deputy commander of the third battalion and a subordinate of Wei Jianwei. As the commanders of the third battalion, the two cannot take vacation at the same time. For many years, Wei Jianwei has chosen to go home during the spring sowing.
Although it is approaching the end of the year, the family building is not as lively as it used to be because of several cadres on vacation. Fortunately, Lao Wang’s family is not ready to leave, otherwise He Xiaoyun feels that she will definitely be bored.
This was her first year in the army, and it was also the first time for a family of three to celebrate the New Year alone. In any case, it should not be too sloppy. Although the snow on the outside has not melted, He Xiaoyun chose a day with the sun to go to the streets with Xu Lanxiang to buy new year goods.
The two of them wrapped themselves up tightly and did not take any children, striving for a quick decision.
“Are you and Lao Wang going back to visit relatives after the beginning of spring?” He Xiaoyun asked Xu Lanxiang.
It was too cold, and the breath that he exhaled became a white mist, which was blown by the wind and adorned behind him like a scarf.
Xu Lanxiang shook her head, curled her neck, and buried half of her face under the scarf, “Lao Wang’s family has many brothers, and we have been separated a few years ago. The room originally allocated to us was put aside by them because people were not at home. Things, some things in this, became their public warehouse, but after we went back, we didn’t have a place to stay, and we simply won’t go back these two years.”
He Xiaoyun guessed that she was so gentle and light, I am afraid there are too many odd things in it, otherwise, she and Lao Wang are both good-tempered people, if it weren’t for the excessive family members, it wouldn’t be enough to talk about them now.
He Xiaoyun would not naively think that all families in the world are brothers and sisters, and their parents are kind. Even if they were in a good relationship when they were young, they will gradually become alienated when they become homes and gradually focus on their own small family.
“What about you?” Xu Lanxiang asked her, “Don’t be upset when I say this. I remember that there are several brothers in Old Wei’s family, do they still live together?”
“They all live together, there are a lot of people.” He Xiaoyun said.
Xu Lanxiang smiled and said, “That’s why your family members get together, so it’s lively. If you don’t get together and quarrel every day, it’s better to be separated and quiet.”
He Xiaoyun remembered the content of the book. She remembered that the Wei family was also separated, and the initiator was the original body. Because she saw Feng Qiuyue gave birth to a daughter, she thought she couldn’t compare with the son she had, so she was emboldened to split the family. .
Now she has become the original body, as long as she does not make trouble, the family will naturally be harmonious.
Thinking of this, He Xiaoyun suddenly felt a little funny. Others traveled through, fighting with the best of wits all day long. She was good, and she became the best of herself. She is not a demon, and everyone has a good life.
She did the New Year’s goods for the first time and had no experience, so she learned from Xu Lanxiang and bought a few catties of pork, a chicken, a plate of tofu, two fish, some dried shiitake mushrooms, dried fungus and other dry goods, as well as melon seeds, peanuts, and pine nuts. I also bought two bottles of canned fruit in a large amount of dried fruits, as well as sweets and biscuits as snacks. In addition, there are some miscellaneous things, and I have a large bag and a small bag.
Originally it was too cold to wear, and it was not convenient to move. With so many things, He Xiaoyun was so tired that he said straight: “I knew I would let Jianwei and Lao Wang come out to buy, let’s be lazy.”
Xu Lanxiang didn’t want to say, “Don’t want him to buy it. I might as well come by myself. You don’t know. Seeing Lao Wei go out shopping for vegetables earlier, he volunteered to help me. As a result, I said to buy two carrots. I really only bought two. I told him to buy a few eggs and he bought five back. I was ashamed to quibble in front of me, saying that I was talking about a few, not a dozen or a few kilograms, and he strictly enforced it. My order, I want to hit him.”
“Isn’t this very obedient.” He Xiaoyun was straightforward.
“Being obedient, I think he has no brains.” Xu Lanxiang sneered.
Back at home, He Xiaoyun put her things down and hurriedly set up the stove to start a fire.
Wei Yuanhang was playing next door, and when he saw Xu Lanxiang coming home, he knew she was back too, so he rushed over immediately, “Mom, mom, you’re back.”
He Xiaoyun touched a newly bought toffee and gave him, “You didn’t make trouble in Auntie’s house, right?”
“No, I’m so good.” Wei Yuanhang put the toffee into his mouth, saw the spoils on the ground, wowed, and said vaguely, “Mom bought a lot of things!”
“These are to be eaten for the New Year.” He Xiaoyun heated her hands a little before squeezing his cheek, and said with a smile, “After the New Year, you will not be a three-year-old child, but a four-year-old.”
The child didn’t understand the joke in her words, so he had a small breast and proudly said: “I will grow up soon!”
“Yeah, yeah, I’ve grown so big.” Feeling his hands and feet slowly warming up, instead of freezing like before, He Xiaoyun got up and sorted out the items she bought.
Halfway through the treatment, I felt a little pain in my belly. I went to the bathroom and realized that it was menstruation.
Her menstrual period has been inaccurate, sometimes twenty days, sometimes thirty or forty days. There are no gynecologists to see these days, and besides the uncertainty of time, there is no other uncomfortable place, He Xiaoyun is not very concerned. .
If she knew that these two days would come, she would definitely not run out on such a cold day today. I don’t know if it was cold. In the past, the aunt didn’t hurt when she came, but this time it just hurts.
The pain is not severe, just the lower abdomen is stuffy, the lower back is sore, and it is not enough to make people feel restless, and it can’t be ignored.
He Xiaoyun remembered that when she was in high school in her previous life, there was a girl in the dormitory who fainted in the middle of the night because of the pain of her aunt, and frightened them all.
She was so uncomfortable with only a little pain, and she fainted, how painful it should be.
Wei Jianwei came back in the evening, knowing that she was out shopping today, and he didn’t agree with him: “Why don’t you wait for me to buy it?”
He Xiaoyun narrowed her mouth and said a little faintly: “Stop talking, I already regret it.”
Seeing that her face was not right, Wei Jianwei took two steps forward, put his palm on her forehead and tried the temperature, “I feel sick? Is it feverish?”
“No,” He Xiaoyun shook her head, not as embarrassed to explain the reason to him, only said, “The stomach hurts a bit, it will be fine tomorrow.”
Wei Jianwei was not fooled. “What did you eat today? Was it vomiting or colic?”
“It’s not the reason.” He Xiaoyun was a little helpless, not knowing where to start.
This is not her time, and there is no physiology class at all. She doesn’t know how much Wei Jianwei knows about women’s physiology. Is it possible? He doesn’t even know that girls will come to the aunt?
The less she said clearly, the more worried Wei Jianwei was. His brows were already frowned, and he even planned to put on his coat again and go out, “I’ll take you to the hospital.”
He Xiaoyun is anxious, “No need, I am, I am—”
She stomped her foot, “Oh, I’m the eldest aunt here!”
Wei Jianwei’s dressing motion stopped, his frowning brows did not loosen, and he rarely asked in confusion, “Auntie?”
He Xiaoyun expected that he didn’t understand, and bit the bullet and said: “It’s menstruation… once a month, women will have…”
What she said was vague. Wei Jianwei understood that it was their girl’s business. He was a little uncomfortable, but he quickly concealed it.
“…Will it hurt?”
“Well,” He Xiaoyun nodded with her head down, “never before.”
Wei Jianwei didn’t know what to do for her, and stood there a little at a loss. Fortunately, after a while, he thought of a solution and walked out quickly.
He Xiaoyun was wondering what he was doing. After a few minutes, he came back, picked her up, took off her shoes, and tucked her into the bed.
“What are you doing?” He Xiaoyun wanted to sit up.
Wei Jianwei pressed her and said, “Lie down and don’t move. Keep warm. I’ll make you brown sugar water.”
After speaking, he went into the kitchen.
He Xiaoyun looked at his back, confused. He didn’t even know what his aunt was just now, and in a blink of an eye he became a friend of women?
Wei Yuanhang saw his father holding his mother onto the bed, and ran over, lying on the side of the bed, with worry on his face, “Mom, are you sick?”
“No, mom just has a little stomachache, and it will be fine tomorrow.”
The child frowned and said, “Then I will call my mother.”
He really breathed hard at the position of He Xiaoyun’s belly through the quilt.
She laughed: “It’s okay, do you want to come in and lie down with your mother?”
Wei Yuanhang nodded, lifted the quilt and crawled into her bed.
It happened that Wei Jianwei walked in with a water glass and saw this scene. He carried the child’s clothes and put him on the inside of the bed. He said, “Tonight you sleep in, mother sleeps in the middle.”
Wei Yuanhanghang looked at the wall inside the bed, and looked at the position that his mother had occupied. He also wanted to lie between his father and mother, but his mother was sick, he was a man, and he wanted to protect his mother with his father!
Thinking of this, he patted He Xiaoyun’s hand generously, “Mom wants to get better soon.”
“Yes.” He Xiaoyun smiled. She sat up and planned to take Wei Jianwei’s water glass.
He didn’t let her take over. Instead, he put his arms around her shoulders from behind, took her into his arms, handed the cup of water to her mouth, “Just drink like this.”
“It’s just a stomachache, there’s no need to do that.” He Xiaoyun mumbled.
But Wei Jianwei insisted that she had to take his hand and drink most of the warm brown sugar water.
Wei Jianwei put the water cup on the bedside table, reached into the quilt, picked up her outermost clothes, and put it on her belly through the underwear.
His hands were very warm, and he didn’t know if it was a psychological effect. He Xiaoyun felt that his stomach really didn’t feel so uncomfortable.
Then she remembered a question: “How do you know you want to soak in brown sugar water?”
“Sister-in-law said.” Wei Jianwei said, still holding her.
His tone was plain and flat, and he didn’t feel that he had said anything terrible.
“What?!” He Xiaoyun cracked her face when she heard it, and wailed in her heart.
Wei Jianwei used this kind of question to ask people, she could already think of what posture Xu Lanxiang would use to make fun of her tomorrow!
