MTL - It’s a Stepmother, Not a Sister [70s]-Chapter 82 self-knowledge
In the early morning of summer, the red sun only revealed deep and shallow red on the distant mountains, and the rays of sunshine swept across the roof and shone on people's faces.
Jiang Shuangling blocked it with her hand, and her eyes fell on the purple-blue on the fence, where several morning glory were blooming.
Wang Xueshu, who came out to wash and breathe, raised her hand and greeted her. Wang Xueshu's stomach was a little bigger than hers, and she seemed to be a little pregnant now.
"What did your house do yesterday, so fragrant?"
"I made some braised vegetables, if you like it, Sister Xueshu, I will teach you how to make it."
"Okay, I'm drooling listening to this."
Wang Xueshu fanned with a fan, "The sun during the day is getting more and more vicious."
"Your children are on vacation soon."
"Yeah, it's summer vacation after the exam."
Jiang Shuangling made some braised vegetables when she had nothing to do. She used up all the lotus roots she bought before, gave some to Wang Xueshu, and went to Mrs. Yao and Mrs. Song's house again.
Sister Song was drying Doubanjiang recently, and Jiang Shuangling asked her to help with some of it.
"I'll send you a bag of peppercorns. The peppercorns in our house are amazing."
"Do you want millet peppers?"
Jiang Shuangling swallowed her saliva: "...No, no need."
She admired Mrs. Song from the bottom of her heart.
In such a hot weather, people have no appetite, the sun above the head is already hot enough, plus a layer of strong numbness explodes in the mouth, this person... can it stand it?
They are no longer nested with each other, and it doesn't take long for the fresh vegetable leaves to lose all their moisture.
Jiang Shuangling originally thought that Qi Heng would not be back at noon today, but did not expect that the other party would appear in the yard under a scorching sun.
Eye.
"Come in."
Since Qi Heng came back every other day at noon, Jiang Shuangling had seen the other party in a state of embarrassment countless times. Only then did she know that when the other party came back in the evening, he probably took a shower and changed his clothes most of the time.
And now it's too late at noon, and the grass clippings and mud on the clothes are brought back together.
It was supposed to be extremely embarrassed, but it didn't look embarrassed on him, but filled him with a wild and uninhibited beauty.
Qi Heng was darker than before, but the contours of his face became more angular, with a straight nose bridge and a neat chin line, even if he stood there without moving, A strong hormonal smell continued to erupt from his body.
Especially when he takes off his upper body.
This image is overwhelming.
Dark and thick.
"No need to wipe." While drinking the water, Qi Heng's Adam's apple rolled a few times sexy.
Qi Heng quickly took a shower and changed into fresh clothes. He washed his clothes while taking a shower. Summer clothes are thin and easy to wash, and they will dry in an hour in such weather.
Jiang Shuangling hasn't washed her own clothes recently. The man took her two children to wash clothes at night, including her clothes.
Originally, Jiang Shuangling was too embarrassed to let him wash her personal clothes, but the man just looked at her blankly, "You also washed my clothes."
So why can't I wash your clothes?
Jiang Shuangling had no choice but to drag her small bench and blushed as she watched him wash. After washing, the man was sometimes very disgusting, and deliberately used cold water with cold fingers from her slashed across his cheeks.
And only state officials are allowed to set fires, and people are not allowed to light lamps.
Jiang Shuangling was going to touch the cold water and planned to do it in the same way, but was stopped from touching her.
The loofah soup was cooked at noon. These loofahs were grown by Jiang Shuangling, and they tasted very fulfilling. She likes loofah soup with rice, and served with cold dishes such as braised lotus root, which is particularly appetizing.
Qi Heng quickly wiped out more than half of the meals, and sat on the side waiting for Jiang Shuangling to finish eating slowly. After Jiang Shuangling had eaten enough, he finished all the remaining meals.
Jiang Shuangling put her chin on her hand and looked at each other. At this time, the afternoon wind was blowing into the room through the open door. Looking at the man beside him, he said, "Qi Heng, don't come back at noon in the future, such a big sun."
.
"I'm afraid you'll get sunstroke."
Jiang Shuangling heard from the hygienist Xiao Tan that there are many people suffering from heat stroke every day in the company.
Qi Heng paused while holding the chopsticks, without moving his eyebrows, said calmly, "No."
Jiang Shuangling: "...You are subjective and stubborn. Whether you will suffer from heatstroke is an objective reality, not your subjective judgment."
She picked up the other's left hand, scratched it in his palm, and stroked the thick calluses, "I know you want to come back to accompany me, afraid that I will be lonely and bored at home all day, In fact, it's not that boring, I draw by myself every day, and I can talk to Sister Song, Sister Xueshu, and the sanitation staff, it's also very interesting, not to mention..."
"The two children are going to have their summer vacation soon. From now on, the two children, A Yue and A Che, will be making noises every day. If I want to be quiet for a while, I will have to find a way."
"So you don't toss back and forth, look outside, the sun is so big."
Qi Heng's face was gloomy, and he said in a muffled voice, "Not much."
Go in the sun for two hours."
"If you don't believe me, I'll post it now."
Jiang Shuangling was about to stand up, but the man grabbed her right hand, and the next second fell into a warm embrace, "Don't go, don't get angry."
"Then you promise me, I also feel sorry for you."
"Good."
After seeing that he had compromised, Jiang Shuangling was relieved, leaning on the man's strong chest, not too hot, and smiled happily.
The two children, Qi Yue and Jiang Che, finally had their summer vacation. On the day of the vacation, they ran home happily with a small schoolbag, cheering and joy, welcoming the upcoming vacation, Jiang Shuangling gave him The two were assigned the task of washing their schoolbags, using well water to calm down before the holiday.
"Honey, go wash the little schoolbag yourself and save it for next semester."
"Don't get wet."
They just threw the water farther than the other.
Jiang Shuangling watched the battle between the two, thinking that fortunately these two little guys urinated farther than anyone else.
This kind of competition is probably only on TV.
The two little guys did well in the exams, almost every subject got full marks, and they were praised by the teacher. After the results, Jiang Shuangling gave two sets of new clothes to each.
Of course, even if you don't do well in the test, you will still be rewarded with two sets of small clothes.
Niu Jiadong's mother came to their house to ask about the results. After listening to the scores of these two little guys, she was very envious.
"Our family's study is too poor, what is your family's good way to study? How do you teach your children?"
"Qi Heng taught." Jiang Shuangling really didn't care about the two children's studies, most of them were supervised by the head teacher Qi Heng, and she was just a little bell ringer.
"Ah?! Is it taught by Chief Qi?"
Jiang Shuangling nodded, "I have some literacy cards, do you want to bring them back to play with the children?"
"Okay."
Jiang Shuangling gave a set of literacy cards she drew to Niu Jiadong's mother. Niu Jiadong's mother praised: "Your card is so finely drawn, I can follow along."
Received the literacy card she sent, Niu Jiadong's mother turned around and sent a watermelon.
Since her two children were on vacation, Jiang Shuangling's daily routine of raising a baby at home can be regarded as noisy and interesting. With her two children, she can almost be said to be a lazy trio, the number one person who sleeps late.
Qi Yue: "I want to get up early to run."
Jiang Che: "I also want to get up early to run."
…
In fact, Jiang Shuangling is the only lazy person who sleeps late every day. The two children get up earlier than when they are studying. Under Qi Heng's training, they are extraordinarily self-disciplined in getting up early.
In the long summer, she is not as attached to the quilt as in winter, but now Jiang Shuangling finds herself unable to get up in the morning...
Affected by the child in her womb, she became a little lethargic, and she didn't get enough sleep all day long.
So when Qi Heng left in the morning, he cooked eggs for the two children to eat. When Jiang Shuangling woke up, he made pancakes or noodles for breakfast.
There are also some shortbread, sugar, and raisins at home. These are not hidden. The two children want to eat and get them.
However, like Jiang Shuangling in the morning, these two children are not sweets, they must eat something salty and hot to satisfy their stomachs.
I would rather eat noodles cooked by Jiang Shuangling, or pancakes and dumplings than sweet shortcakes.
When the children are on summer vacation, there are more children jumping around in the big yard during the day. Zhu Mingming and Niu Jiadong came to Qi Yue and Jiang Che to play every three days, seven or eight Children big and small play hide-and-seek, throw sandbags, hopscotch, and there are different tricks every day.
Of course, after there are more children, the drama of parents educating the bear children after tea and dinner is also staged every day.
Especially the Niu family, Niu's political commissar's broken voice can be heard by the whole hospital.
"Don't run away, you monkey child! You dare to hide from the handsome house again?!"
"Help! The bullies are coming!"
"Guys cover me..."
"Cover me if you're a brother!
…
, and sometimes fanned the flames of "persuading and persuading".
On summer nights, most people in the family yard can’t sit still at home. Gathering together in twos and threes, the men stayed in one place, the women whispered in another, and the children, big and small, scoffed past.
"Today, political commissar Niu ran after the child with his shoes again."
"It's not uncommon for a political commissar Niu to run after a child with his shoes. What's unusual is..."
After voting by all kinds of men and women, the masses believe that the most strange thing is...
—Qi Heng ran after the child with his shoes like a political commissar Niu.
That may be a rare scene for the whole hospital.
If it did happen, it would be a spectacle.
He slapped his thigh with laughter when he heard this, and encouraged Comrade Qi Yuexiao to make mistakes.
"Do something to make your dad hurry."
"Try making your dad chase you."
Jiang Shuangling called her cubs over and felt that these strange uncles were really teaching bad children.
"Ayue, don't listen to your Uncle He."
Qi Yue nodded, "Mom, I'm not that stupid."
He: "??!"
"Dad chases me, I can't get out of the yard at all."
Jiang Shuangling: "..." My children are really self-aware.
He headed: "This child is really promising. He is quite good at judging the current situation and will not do anything in vain."
In summer nights, Jiang Shuangling also experienced the experience of watching an open-air movie with her family and neighbors. One by one, they moved small benches and sat in a row. The experienced ones would also grab the most suitable viewing position.
The two children were sitting in the front row. Jiang Shuangling watched the movie with Qi Heng's arms in her arms. At first, she enjoyed watching the movie. Later, she fell asleep on Qi Heng's body. In the end, Qi Heng didn't wake her up. , and held her back when she was sleeping in public.
The two children followed behind with a small bench.
The next day, Jiang Shuangling recalled the scene from last night, it was really the scene of the death of the society, I just hope she didn't drool when she fell asleep.
After washing his face and calming down, he felt that he had contributed to the gossip after dinner in the family home. Although everyone did not see Qi Heng chasing the child with his shoes, but they saw him hugging and sleeping The daughter-in-law of a dead pig returns home.
After a rather melancholy sigh, Jiang Shuangling still wanted to know the ending of the movie she watched last night, so she asked the two children about the movie during the day.
"Who is that woman in red?"
"Did not see..."
…
She found that the two children only saw the scene of the fight, and the other sons and daughters all watched lonely.
So she had to ask Qi Heng at night, and Qi Heng said that she didn't watch it.
Jiang Shuangling fell asleep on top of him at that time, how could a man still pay attention to the previous movie.
Jiang Shuangling: “…”
So the whole family watched this movie lonely.
"Forget it, just join in the fun."
The two children, Qi Yue and Jiang Che, were fooling around with other children in the family home for a few days. Such a weapon to coax children, but these children are happy every day, and they can also entertain themselves and come up with some new ways to play.
Summer nights are always fun, with fireflies in the mountains.
These kids said they were going to catch fireflies.
Jiang Shuangling had never seen fireflies a few times, so she was eager to try to follow her up the mountain, Qi Heng followed her, for fear that she would fall.
The stars of fireflies surrounded the crowd who accidentally broke in. Surrounded by these little guys, the stars of the summer night seemed to have dimmed.
.
Qi Heng stretched out his palm in front of her eyes, and saw a small insect light up its tail and slowly flew away from his hand.
"It's so beautiful." Jiang Shuangling couldn't help sighing.
At this time, there are insects and frogs calling from all directions in the mountains and forests, but it seems that the night under the moonlight is more quiet. The stars shuttled through the shadows of the branches and leaves, like a moving galaxy.
Crossing this moving Milky Way, you can see the houses and buildings of the family courtyard at the bottom of the mountain, hidden under the thick black, and you can only identify the location of your home by the faint lights .
The children caught a lot of fireflies and later let them fly together. When countless stars rose from their hands, it was like entering a fantastic world.
"Come on, go home, kids."
Jiang Shuangling's painting was selected for the exhibition.
She brought a recent painting to Rongcheng by car, and went to visit Mr. He with Xue Li.
After the two met, Jiang Shuangling gave her a package of things in her hand.
"What is it? Did you give it to me? Is it a painting?" Xue Li was surprised. After taking apart the things in her hand, she found that it turned out to be a set of light yellow skirts, which were very beautiful. .
"For you."
"This... how embarrassing is this?"
"What's wrong with that, I've already worn your dress, you can't wear mine?"
"That's alright, Jiang Mei, your craftsmanship is really good, as expected of studying art, but it's better than me, the dress I gave you before, I really played a big knife in front of Guan Gong ."
"My skill is not as good as yours, but the style has been changed by me."
"It's so beautiful, I want to try it when I get home."
"Wait for you to try again at night, and slowly look good in front of the mirror."
…
The two went to send the manuscript first, and then went to visit Mr. He's house together. Xue Li took Jiang Shuangling's hand and compared the two's wrists. Make her envious.
"I'm almost tanned, and you're still so white."
"Because I'm at home every day, I don't go out to the sun much, I just go out for a walk in the morning and evening."
"You are a natural beauty, even if I don't bask in the sun, I'm not as white as you."
"Aren't you bored without going out?"
"I don't think so. I practice drawing every day, not to mention... There are two noisy little guys at home."
"I haven't seen your child yet."
"Have a chance to meet you."
…
Seeing Mr. He, Jiang Shuangling felt that something was not right. The little old man blew his beard and stared at the two of them, as if they had done something wrong.
"Are you missing something?"
Jiang Shuangling: “…”
This time they didn't make themselves smart.
Xue Li curiously said: "What did you bring, the paintings are all here, look at the old man, I think Xiao Jiang's painting skills have improved again."
Mr. He glared at her, "What about you, what about your paintings?"
Xue Li: "Let me read a story to you."
Mr. He snorted lightly, turned to look at Jiang Shuangling, and said coolly, "Smart people should stick to their hearts."
Jiang Shuangling: “…”
Do you remember to bring something to eat?
So the next day, Jiang Shuangling came to Rongcheng again with braised bean curd, braised lotus root slices, honeydew pork jerky, steamed dumplings, etc. This time she brought two little guys with her. Come here, Comrade Qi Dali said that he could help her get something.
Qi Yue's strength is indeed strong, but let the children hold things and empty their hands, Jiang Shuangling feels a little bit like she is hiring child labor.
"The three of us take turns holding it."
"No!" Qi Dali thinks that you look down on me if you don't let me keep it.
"Okay, let's go by car anyway, if we can't carry it, give it to mom."
Xue Li was the first time she saw the two little guys that Jiang Shuangling talked about. The two little guys obediently called her Aunt Xue.
Jiang Shuangling feels that this generation is actually a bit strange, one should be called auntie and the other should be called sister.
"Whatever you want, you don't have to pay much attention to it. You can call me sister and aunt."
"Aunt Xue!"
Little Jiang Che had no objection, he leaned on his sister's lap, and he just wanted to call someone sister.
The two of them walked with their two children to Mr. He's house laughing and laughing all the way. The old man saw the group of them who suddenly came in groups, especially the two beautiful children. First stunned for a moment, and then invited people in.
"Call me Grandpa He."
"He Grandpa!"
…
"One of them is my brother and the other is my son."
The old man liked these two children very much and played chess with them.
Jiang Shuangling drew this picture on the side.
Mr. He disliked her poor painting, and approved her painting in perfect condition, but he kept the painting.
Jiang Shuangling: "..." What a weird old man.
So the few of them didn't leave at noon and decided to stay at He's house for dinner. Jiang Shuangling took charge. She and Xue Li planned to go out to buy some ingredients. Mr. He stopped them and gave them money and tickets.
"Take it and buy more. I don't usually eat much as an old man."
The meal cooked by Jiang Shuangling at noon was well received. Under the rainbow farts of the two children and the indirect rainbow fart of Xue Li, the awkward signs of Mr. He could not burn out the sparks.
Aunt Chun next door heard the movement here and came over to join in the fun, "The house here is big enough, if the two of you can't make it back at night, you can stay with the child."
Jiang Shuangling couldn't help laughing and laughing, if she dared not go back with her child, a man would definitely explode when he came home and saw the empty and pitch-black home.
"No."
In the afternoon, Jiang Shuangling took the children to go home, but was stopped halfway, and turned around to find that they were a familiar couple.
The child Jiang Che reacted before her, "Little Uncle Liu."
He was once a villager.
