Back in the house, Yu Xiangnian called home. After she talked about her children, she went to Song Huaiqian and others, then Cheng Jingmo and Xiaojie, and finally to Yu Xiangyang.
Yu Xiangyang spoke a bit long. It should be that the other party was giving him instructions. He would say from time to time, "I understand."
After Cheng Jingmo finished talking on the phone, he was busy bathing the two children. The two children fell asleep not long after taking a bath.
The family sat around chatting and watching the New Year's Eve until early in the morning before going back to their rooms to rest.
Wen Qiuning opened the red envelope and saw that there were sixteen yuan in it, which was quite a lot for her.
She only gave An An and the others a red envelope worth one yuan each.
On the first day of the new year, everyone had nothing to do, so the family made an appointment to go to a nearby park.
Yu Xiangyang was carrying An An on his back, and Cheng Jingmo was carrying Coco on his back. They also carried a cloth bag with the children's belongings in it.
Two grown men were carrying children on their backs, and several women were wandering around empty-handed, attracting the attention of many people.
Yu Xiangyang looked at Yu Xiangnian's leisurely look and said calmly: "Fortunately, I only gave birth to two children, and no one will carry another one!"
Yu Xiangnian said: "This is not just for you two, it just happened."
Yu Xiangyang pinched the back of her neck, "Why don't you count me as the eldest brother and the second brother? What do you do to me every day?"
Yu Xiangnian shrank his neck, "I'll tell my eldest brother and the others when I get home later!"
An An saw her mother's neck being pinched, reached out to grab Yu Xiangyang's arm, and shouted anxiously: "Uncle!"
Cheng Jingmo also said at the same time, "You have a heavy hand, don't pinch her!"
Yu Xiangyang took back his hand and snorted, "Yes, yes! You are a family that loves each other!"
Three days passed quickly. In the afternoon of the second grade of junior high school, Cheng Jingmo and Yu Xiangyang wanted to return to the army.
Wen Qiuning couldn't stay at the Song family anymore. After dinner, the three of them went out at the same time.
Before leaving, Wen Qiuning stuffed a red envelope for each of Xiaojie, An An and Keke.
He was pushed around and pulled for a long time before he accepted it.
Yu Xiangnian sent Wen Qiuning to the bus stop outside and waited for the bus with her.
At this time, Cheng Jingmo passed in front of them carrying Yu Xiangyang.
Cheng Jingmo stopped his bicycle and said, "Classmate Wen, come home for dinner when you have time."
Wen Qiuning nodded, "Okay, thank you."
Cheng Jingmo said to Xiang Nian again: "I'm going to school." His tone became much softer unconsciously.
Yu Xiangnian smiled and nodded, "Slow down."
Cheng Jingmo looked at her with tenderness in his eyes, "Well, goodbye."
Cheng Jingmo pedaled off his bicycle and Yu Xiangyang, who was sitting in the back seat, waved to them proudly.
I don’t know what to feel proud of!
Wen Qiuning sat in the bus, thinking about everything in the past three days.
These three days in the Song family had subverted her previous understanding of home and husband and wife.
What she has seen since she was a child is that the man in the family has the final say, the woman takes care of the children, does the housework, and endures everything silently, while the man can smoke and drink, steal from the widow, and even beat his wife when he is angry.
But in the Song family, she saw the respect, appreciation and tolerance between husband and wife; the respect and tolerance between the old and the young; and the liveliness and fun between brothers and sisters.
What is very interesting about the Song family is that all the men take care of the children. Ke Ke likes to stick to Cheng Jingmo and Song Huaiqian, and An An likes Yu Xiangyang. After the three grown men have taken care of the children, the nanny can't get involved.
Yu Xiangnian and Lin Ye, they don't take care of children or do housework, they just do whatever they want.
Naturally, Wen Qiuning also saw that Lin also liked Yu Xiangyang, and would look at him secretly from time to time, unable to hide the anticipation in his eyes.
It's good, both of them are sunny and kind-hearted people.
At the same time, Wen Qiuning heard from everyone's chat that Yu Xiangnian's natal family was not ordinary. Her parents seemed to be some kind of leaders, and their ranks were not low.
When they were in the dormitory before, Shi Mingyue asked Yu Xiangnian about her family, and Yu Xiangnian just said that her father was a soldier and her mother was a doctor.
I didn’t expect it to be such a family.
No wonder Yu Xiangnian’s structure is so big and his vision is so broad. He was cultivated from an early age.
This should be what the book calls a perfect match!
An outstanding person like Yu Xiangnian deserves such happiness!
In the past, she and her mother were deserted every Spring Festival. This was the liveliest Spring Festival she had ever had and the one with the most laughter.
When she thought of her mother, Wen Qiuning sighed secretly.
It must be even more deserted for her to spend the New Year alone!
After waiting for her for another two years, when she is able to support herself and her mother after graduation, she will take her mother to Beijing and stay away from that place and those people.
It's just that... I don't know if she can continue to go to school.
It was early February, almost two months after Wen Qiuning called the police, and she had not received any notification from the Public Security Bureau about the progress of the case.
That afternoon, the police came to the bookstore and called Wen Qiuning to the back of the bookstore alone.
Wen Qiuning thought the case investigation was over, but her mood was still a little complicated.
But she heard from the police that Niu Shengyun had escaped!
It turned out that Niu Shengyun learned that the local public security agency was investigating him. Knowing that he would definitely go to jail this time, he took away the money he had embezzled over the years and absconded.
The police came to inform her that she should be careful in the near future to prevent Niu Shengyun from escaping to Beijing and retaliate against her.
Wen Qiuning's body trembled twice, and she clenched her fists hard, trying to control the fear in her heart.
She is afraid of cow luck!
She had been afraid for many years. Even after she came to Beijing, she would wake up from her dreams every time she dreamed about the things in the village.
That year, she was sixteen years old and graduated from high school.
Originally, she was going to be assigned to another province as an educated youth, but one of her classmates had relatives who worked in an educated youth decentralization group. Knowing that she had no background and no support, she secretly changed the place of devolution.
She was sent to Tula Village, Lengshui Township, Changshan County, the most remote place, where the environment was harsh and living conditions were difficult.
Here, she spent three nightmare years.
The captain of the village is Niu Shengyun, who is in his forties. He has been the captain for more than ten years and is very knowledgeable in the village.
Two months after she arrived at the educated youth center, Niu Shengyun was told to go to the village office to fill out a form, and she dutifully went.
When she arrived at the village office, she respectfully asked Niu Shengyun what form to fill out.
But Niu Shengyun grabbed her hands tightly, and she ran away in fright.
From then on, Niu Shengyun began to harass her for three years.
Not only that, the villagers here are equally disgusting.
After learning what Niu Shengyun meant to her, instead of helping her, they added insult to injury.
Women called her coquettish and promiscuous, and Niu Shengyun's wife even beat her twice in front of many people.
The men scolded her while trying to take advantage of her.
Some sneaked up on him, some took advantage of the night to take possession of her, and some wanted to give her to Niu Shengyun to please him.
