After four years of marriage, the military officer husband came back

Xia Qingning returned to the room where Guo Yumei had made the bed for them, looked at the bed, turned and walked into Guo Yumei's room next door and asked her if she had any extra quilts.

When Guo Yumei heard that she wanted more quilts, her expression froze for a moment. In this weather, there was no need to cover herself with a thick quilt. One bed was enough for two people, unless...

She opened her mouth and wanted to ask something, but swallowed the words back, opened the wooden box, took out a new one and handed it to Xia Qingning.

Xia Qingning took the quilt and went into the room. She remembered that she had not given Guo Yumei the special care ointment she bought yet, so she took the ointment and went into her room again.

Guo Yumei's hands have had bad skin since she was a child and were often chapped. Due to excessive work over the years, her hands have become so cracked that they are unsightly.

Xia Qingning looked at those hands, opened the lid with heartache, and slowly applied it to her.

Many people use this special care cream to wipe their faces, but now it is summer and the face is not as easy to dry as in winter. On the contrary, it is better to use it on chapped hands.

Guo Yumei looked at her daughter who was applying ointment to her carefully and asked softly:

"Xiao Ning, how long will Jingzhe's family visit leave be this time?"

"They said it would be a month." Xia Qingning replied softly.

"Oh." Guo Yumei nodded, as if she wanted to say something, but she swallowed it in the end. After a moment, she suddenly asked:

"Xiao Ning, do you still remember the girl who used to live next to our house and played with you?"

Xia Qingning thought she was just looking for a topic to chat with her, so she nodded and said:

"I remember."

"Oh, didn't she get married the year you went to the city?" Guo Yumei continued:

"Her in-laws looked down on her at first and poked and touched her a lot. Her husband didn't like her very much either."

Xia Qingning had no curiosity about this girl, nor did she like chatting about these gossips, so she responded with little interest:

"Oh, is it so."

"But guess what happened next?" Guo Yumei said with a look of joy on her face. She continued:

"She gave birth to three sons in a row for that family. The mother-in-law there was very happy and praised her to everyone she met. Her husband's attitude towards her also improved, and now they live a happy life."

Xia Qingning was not stupid and immediately understood what she meant. As expected, there is no mother in the world who does not worry about her children. Before marriage, she worries about her partner, and after marriage, she naturally worries about her children.

"Oh." Xia Qingning pretended not to understand and continued to reply in monosyllables, with no intention of having a deep conversation with her about the topic of children.

This really puzzled Guo Yumei. She didn't know whether her daughter understood or not. After hesitating for a moment, she didn't beat around the bush and asked directly:

"Xiao Ning, tell mom, have you and Jingzhe not done that yet?"

Xia Qingning originally wanted to get away with it, but Guo Yumei didn't expect her to give her a chance. However, the question really embarrassed her, so she just said:

"Don't worry about it. Don't worry, I will live well and I will make sure you live well in the future."

Hearing her say this, Guo Yumei understood in her heart, sighed and said:

"Hey, I know Jingzhe is still angry after all." He said with a worried look on his face.

My son-in-law is going to the army soon, and we don’t know how many years he will be away from home. My daughter is 20 years old now, and she’s experienced it. She knows how hard it is to stay alone in an empty house, waiting for someone. How will her little Ning live in the future?

What's more, the son-in-law still refuses to consummate the marriage with his daughter. There is only one reason why a man is unwilling to consummate the marriage, and that is that he really dislikes and hates the person.

If the son-in-law meets someone he likes in the future, he will divorce his daughter in a few years. The daughter is old and has no one to rely on...

She didn't dare to think any further, and suddenly pulled Xia Qingning's hand, and said anxiously:

"Xiao Ning, you can't just do nothing at this moment because you're too proud. Now that you have your marriage certificate, you are legally married. Jingzhe is angry, and you can't wait for him to take the initiative.

That thing...as long as the woman takes the initiative, it's basically done.

If you have a child, even if he goes to the army and doesn't miss you, he will miss the child. You can't tie him down, but the child can!

A month has passed in the blink of an eye. Silly girl, you better hurry up and get him pregnant so that you can tie him down. This way, you can have a secure life for the rest of your life."

Xia Qingning had never thought of tying down Lu Jingzhe, let alone using a child to tie him down. Although in the current situation, she does not have enough ability to protect herself and can only rely on Lu Jingzhe, but it is almost the 1980s and there will be so many opportunities to make money in the future. Can't she support herself?

Although she really wanted to tell Guo Yumei that having children was the most unwise way to tie a man down, after entering the era of mental labor, the opportunities for men and women were basically equal, so there was no need to worry about the future.

But Guo Yumei had not accepted the new ideas of later generations. She was just an ordinary rural woman in the 70s. Even if I told her all the above words, she would not understand.

"Okay, Mom, I get it." Xia Qingning nodded to show that she understood.

"Silly girl, if you know, you should do it. To be honest, if you take the initiative to climb up to her, she can't really push you away. You have to remember that getting pregnant is the most important thing."

Guo Yumei was still worried. Her daughter had been very obedient since she was young. If she didn't explain things clearly to her, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to understand.

Xia Qingning really didn't want to continue talking about this topic with her, but she couldn't show resistance, otherwise the mother would definitely keep nagging, so she followed her meaning and said:

"Okay, I'll take the initiative and try to get pregnant with a child to tie him down before he leaves."

Hearing her daughter say this, Guo Yumei felt relieved and prayed silently in her heart, hoping that her daughter could really get pregnant, so that she would have hope for the future.

After applying ointment to Guo Yumei's hands, Xia Qingning remembered that she should give her some money. She planned to leave 400 yuan for the family out of the more than 400 yuan she had taken back from Wang Mingfang last time.

I still have the money given by Lu Jingzhe, plus the remaining salary, I still have more than a hundred yuan, which should be enough for a short time.

She stood up and said she had something to give her. As soon as she walked out, she saw Lu Jingzhe standing at the door with a stack of money in his hand. She didn't know how long he had been standing there.

The moment their eyes met, the words I had just said to Guo Yumei suddenly rang in my ears:

"Okay, I'll take the initiative and try to get pregnant with a child before he leaves, so I can tie him down."

Facing this huge social death scene, she could only repeat three words in her heart:

help me! help me! help me!
