Quick Wear Dream Qiqi

Chapter 415: Passerby in the Period Literature 11

Although Lu Ye was confused, he still greeted his cousin politely.

When the cousin saw Lu Ye wearing a military uniform, she became even more enthusiastic and pulled him aside to ask him all kinds of questions, which made Lu Ye very uncomfortable.

While eating dinner in the evening, my cousin wolfed down her food while constantly praising Meng Qiqi for being lucky enough to marry a good man like Lu Ye.

Meng Qiqi and Lu Ye looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

After dinner, my cousin showed no intention of leaving. Instead, she began to look around the furnishings in the house.

"Oh, your house may not be big, but it's so clean!" She walked to the cabinet and saw a photo frame on it. Inside was a wedding photo of Meng Qiqi and Lu Ye. "Look, what a perfect couple!"

Meng Qiqi brought some foot washing water, wanting her cousin to soak her feet and rest early.

Unexpectedly, her cousin stopped her and said mysteriously, "Qiqi, let me tell you something. Do you remember the things your mother hid when you were a child?"

Meng Qiqi's heart tightened, but she remained calm: "Cousin, I don't quite understand what you are talking about."

"It's those... gold, silver, and jewelry!" My cousin lowered her voice, her eyes gleaming with greed. "Your mother told me that she hid those things because she was afraid of the house being searched, and said she would take them out when life got better. Now that you're living a better life, isn't it time to take those things out?"

Meng Qiqi finally understood that this cousin was not coming for refuge at all, but was clearly coming for her family's former "capitalist properties"!

A chill suddenly rose in her heart, but she sneered: "Cousin, are you remembering it wrongly? We don't have those things anymore. They were all confiscated back then."

"Impossible!" my cousin retorted immediately, "Your mother told me clearly that it was hidden in a secret place that only she knew! It must have been you who hid it! Qiqi, you can't forget your relatives! Now that you have a better life, you have to help me, right?"

Lu Ye listened from the side, his expression becoming increasingly grim.

He finally understood the purpose of his cousin's visit and couldn't help but say, "Cousin, we really don't have the things you mentioned. If you are tired, go and rest first."

Seeing that the couple refused to acknowledge me, my cousin's face darkened. "Hmph, I think you just don't want to acknowledge me as your relative! You don't want to help me!"

She stood up and said, "In that case, I won't bother you anymore! But I tell you, this matter is not over yet!"

After saying that, she picked up her cloth bag and slammed the door angrily.

Only Meng Qiqi and Lu Ye were left in the room, and the atmosphere became a little solemn.

Lu Ye walked over to Meng Qiqi and held her hand: "Qiqi, don't worry, I'm here."

Meng Qiqi nodded. She didn't expect that after so many years, there were still people who cared about her family's old things.

It seems that her background is a hidden danger after all.

"Lu Ye," she raised her head and looked at him, "I'm sorry to have caused you trouble."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Lu Ye hugged her in his arms, "We are husband and wife, your business is my business. If someone like this comes again in the future, tell me and I will deal with it."

Meng Qiqi leaned in his arms, feeling his warm embrace, and her heart gradually calmed down.

No matter what difficulties she will encounter in the future, as long as Lu Ye is by her side, she is not afraid of anything.

----

As we enter the twelfth lunar month, the weather gets colder day by day.

Wang Yuxia's due date was getting closer, and the atmosphere in the military family compound was becoming tense.

Lin Jinghui took a long vacation and stayed at home all day, fearing that something might happen.

Wang Yuxia spends every day in anticipation and anxiety, worrying that the child will be difficult to give birth to, and then worrying that no one will take care of the child after it is born.

In the middle of the night, Wang Yuxia suddenly attacked.

Lin Jinghui hurriedly ran to Meng Qiqi's house and knocked on the door, his voice filled with tears: "Qiqi! Platoon Leader Lu! Hurry! Yuxia is about to give birth!"

Lu Ye and Meng Qiqi quickly got up and followed Lin Jinghui to his house.

I saw Wang Yuxia lying on the bed, her face pale with pain, sweating profusely, and groaning constantly.

Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhang have already arrived and are helping with the preparations.

"Hurry! Send her to the clinic!" Lu Ye made a prompt decision and together with Lin Jinghui, he lifted Wang Yuxia onto the cart. Meng Qiqi and Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhang followed behind, jogging all the way to the clinic.

Doctor Wang and the nurses from the health center are ready.

After Wang Yuxia was carried into the delivery room, everyone waited outside, their hearts sweating.

Lu Ye asked Meng Qiqi to wait outside, while he and Lin Jinghui paced outside the delivery room.

Time passed minute by minute, and Wang Yuxia's screams of pain could be heard from the delivery room from time to time, which made people tremble with fear.

Lin Jinghui was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, rubbing his hands constantly.

Although Lu Ye appeared calm on the surface, he was very nervous inside.

Meng Qiqi, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhang sat in the corridor, and no one spoke.

Meng Qiqi looked at the closed door of the delivery room with mixed feelings.

This was not her first time to witness a woman giving birth up close, but the screams of pain still made her feel an inexplicable fear.

She subconsciously touched her belly and suddenly felt a deeper awe of pregnancy.

After an unknown amount of time, the screams in the delivery room finally stopped.

Then, there was a loud baby cry.

"It's born! It's born!" the nurse said with a smile as she opened the door. "It's a big fat boy! 15 pounds!"

When Lin Jinghui heard this, he was so excited that he almost jumped up and tears came out.

"Great! Great! I'm a dad!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

Doctor Wang also came out, took off his mask, and said, "Mother and child are safe, don't worry. It's just that the mother is a little exhausted and needs to rest well."

Wang Yuxia was pushed out. Her face was pale, but her eyes were full of joy.

Seeing Lin Jinghui, she smiled weakly: "Jinghui, we have a son..."

Lin Jinghui held her hand, choking with sobs and unable to speak.

Meng Qiqi looked at Wang Yuxia lying on the hospital bed and the wrinkled little baby in her arms, and suddenly a wonderful feeling arose in her heart.

It is a continuation of life, a kind of magic that cannot be described in words.

My previous fear of pregnancy seems to have eased a lot.

In the following days, the central topic of the military family compound became Wang Yuxia's son.

Everyone went to the clinic to visit her every day and brought her nutritious foods such as eggs, brown sugar, and millet.

Wang Yuxia was also completely proud of herself. She held her son in her arms, accepting everyone's praise and envy, with a proud smile always on her face.

Once, Meng Qiqi and Lu Ye also went to see Wang Yuxia.

When Wang Yuxia saw them, she deliberately held her son high up in her arms and showed off, "Look, my son is so cute! He looks exactly like Jinghui!"

Lu Ye looked at the little baby with envy in his eyes.

Meng Qiqi knew that he really liked children.

On the way back, Lu Ye couldn't help but say: "Qiqi, look how cute that child is..."

Meng Qiqi glanced at him and smiled: "Yeah, it's pretty cute."

"How about...we start preparing to have a baby as well?" Lu Ye asked cautiously, his eyes full of anticipation.

Meng Qiqi was silent.

The scene of Wang Yuxia giving birth is still vivid in her mind, and the pain still scars her.

But at the same time, seeing that little life, her heart did change a little.

"Lu Ye," she stopped and looked at him seriously, "Give me a little more time, okay?"

Seeing her serious look, Lu Ye nodded: "Okay, I'll wait for you."

Although he didn't agree immediately, Lu Ye was still very happy.

He knew that Meng Qiqi's thoughts had begun to waver.

The days still passed slowly.

After Wang Yuxia finished her confinement, she walked around the military family compound holding her son, praising her son for being smart and cute to everyone she met.

Meng Qiqi looked at her, and instead of feeling the disgust she had before, she felt a little calmer.

Everyone has his or her own way of life, and she has no right to interfere, nor does she want to interfere.

Her life with Lu Ye is still sweet and warm.

Lu Ye trains every day, and she does housework at home. The two of them depend on each other and live their own little life.

Regarding the issue of children, they reached a tacit understanding and no longer mentioned it, but they both knew in their hearts that it was only a matter of time.

In the blink of an eye, it was spring of the following year, and all things came back to life. The poplar trees in the military family compound sprouted new buds.

Wang Yuxia’s son is already half a year old. He is fair, chubby and very cute.

The most important thing for her every day is to hold her son in the yard to bask in the sun and chat with other military wives. She lives a leisurely and comfortable life.

Meng Qiqi's mood also became brighter with the arrival of spring.

After a winter of thinking about it, she was no longer so resistant to the idea of ​​pregnancy.

Seeing Lu Ye's envious eyes every time he saw other people's children, she felt a little bit sorry.

That night, the two of them lay in bed. Meng Qiqi leaned in Lu Ye's arms and whispered, "Lu Ye, can we... start preparing to have a baby?"

When Lu Ye heard this, he was stunned at first, then he reacted and hugged her tightly excitedly: "Qiqi, are you serious?"

Meng Qiqi nodded, a shy smile on her face: "Yeah. I've thought about it."

Lu Ye was so happy that he almost jumped up, hugged Meng Qiqi and kissed her again and again: "That's great! Qiqi, you are so good!"

He was so excited that he was incoherent. "I...I will go tell Dean Liu tomorrow and ask him to stop scolding me!"

Meng Qiqi was amused by him and hit him lightly: "Look how happy you are."

The two chatted excitedly for a long time, planning their future life with children.

Lu Ye said he wanted to make a small wooden horse for the child, and Meng Qiqi said she wanted to sew many beautiful little clothes for the child.

The air is filled with the smell of happiness and anticipation.

However, just when they were full of hope for the future, news came from the army: due to the tense international situation, the troops might have to be redeployed and sent to the border areas.

This news was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing an uproar in the military family compound.

The military wives gathered together and talked a lot, and everyone's face was filled with worry and anxiety.

Lu Ye also received the notice and is attending an emergency meeting.

Meng Qiqi was restless at home, constantly looking at the door, hoping that Lu Ye would come back.

It was not until late at night that Lu Ye returned, dragging his exhausted body.

His face was solemn and he hugged Meng Qiqi as soon as he entered the door.

"Lu Ye, what's going on? Do we really need to redeploy our troops?" Meng Qiqi asked nervously.

Lu Ye nodded and sighed: "Yeah. The notice has come down, and we will leave in a week."

Meng Qiqi's heart sank.

She knew what redeployment meant.

Conditions in the border areas are harsh and dangerous at any time.

"Then...can I go with you?" she asked in a low voice.

Lu Ye shook his head: "This time the situation is special. Military dependents cannot accompany the troops. You have to stay here."

Meng Qiqi couldn't help but shed tears: "Then you...you must pay attention to safety."

"Don't worry, I will." Lu Ye wiped her tears, "You have to be good at home and take good care of yourself. Wait for me to come back."

In the next few days, the entire army was shrouded in a tense and depressing atmosphere.

Lu Ye was busy packing his equipment and saying goodbye to his comrades.

Meng Qiqi was busy helping him pack his luggage and giving him many instructions.

Wang Yuxia also heard the news of the transfer and came to see Meng Qiqi with her son.

This time, she was no longer showing off or being jealous as before, and her face was filled with worry.
