    Chapter Index

    Some people are happy and some people are sad, Pei’s family went to bed early after dinner, was turned red wave, but did not know that their own arrival disturbed a pool of spring water, the aftermath of a long time not dissipated.

    After dinner and put the children to bed, Liu Erniu lying in bed tossing and turning can not sleep, her husband a regiment chief Zhao Hu is sleeping well, Liu Erniu look angry, a push to wake up Zhao Hu.

    “Out on a mission?” Zhao Hu sleeping hair froze, was pushed violently, like a swindle from the bed leaped up, tiger eyes wide open, clothes are not wearing, pick up the belt to go out.

    “Come back! Why are you screaming at night? The children are all asleep.” Liu Erniu was angry and laughing.

    Zhao Hu came to his senses and rubbed his face, “You’re a loser, you work in the crop field, you don’t know how much strength you have to use on your own masters?”

    “What are you talking about?” Liu Erniu slapped the first head of the group on the back, and the wheat-colored back of the first head of the group froze and turned red.

    Zhao Hu “ow” a sound, complained: “I figured out, you never know what is called tenderness in this life, nothing to learn more from others two head of the daughter-in-law, you look at others, and then look at you, day after day on the make it.”

    Not to mention Cheng Dahua Liu Erniu not angry, a mention of Cheng Dahua, Liu Erniu belly full of fire is worried about no place to send it, Zhao Hu on the rush to find uncomfortable, said the bomb on the bomb:

    “My mother washes and cooks every day, serves you good food and drink, and gave you three brats, but in the end you ask me to learn from Cheng Dahua, and learn from what? She dresses up like a witch and goes out every day to hook up with men? Well, from tomorrow on, I won’t cook, I won’t do the laundry, I won’t bring the kids, and I’ll just sit on the threshold and chat, so I’ll see if you can stand it!”

    Zhao Hu wiped the spittle that had been sprayed on his face and said dejectedly, “What did I say? Didn’t I just say one sentence? You’re waiting for me to say something? Okay, it’s all my fault, didn’t I say I was afraid of waking up the kids? Why are you talking so loud?”

    “It’s not because you’re angry,” Zhao Hu admitted his mistake, Liu Erniu’s anger finally smoothed out a bit, but still said in a bad mood, “Come here, I’ll take a look at your back.”

    “This slap to the slap, too ferocious,” Zhao Hu muttered and exposed his back to his daughter-in-law, and at the end of the day, he thought to ask, “Daughter-in-law, you woke me up in the middle of the night, it’s not just to slap me and quarrel with me, right?”

    “Aigoo,” Liu Erniu slapped her thigh, “I was angry at you and forgot, I meant to ask you, how is the new deputy division commander?”

    Zhao Hu turned around and looked Liu Erniu up and down, “Are you alright? Waking me up in the middle of the night to ask someone about the deputy division commander, what’s the matter? Are you trying to piss me off by remarrying him? I can tell you, he looks even more handsome is another man, he has a daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law today came to the army with the army, your man is not dead, blind thought what?”

    Don’t think he doesn’t know, Pei deputy division chief only came a few days, good guy troops in the military wife inquiring, all want to fish this piece of swan meat to their own girls nieces and nephews nieces and relatives, civil engineering corps of the big girls are even better, the group to the people in front of them to get together.

    Luckily, Vice Division Commander Pei married a daughter-in-law, or else he would have let these women eat him.

    Liu Erniu couldn’t wait to slap Zhao Hu again, and gave him a blank look and said, “Don’t give me the whole have-nots here, I’m asking you if the deputy division commander is the kind of person who loves to listen to good words and enjoys people kissing his ass.”

    “I can tell you, Cheng Dahua two mouths are smeared with honey, just this day I also caught Cheng Dahua leaving others to go to please the new deputy division commander’s wife, fortunately, I am smart, in time to notify everyone to go together, which did not let her take advantage of a person ……”

    “But this in case the deputy division commander loves to listen to good words, on your clumsy mouth stupid cursing a top three, let you say a good word can suffocate, not for nothing to let the Cheng Dahua family got the phase of the appropriate?”

    Zhao Hu’s attention, however, turned to the wife of the deputy division commander and asked his own daughter-in-law with interest, “I’ve heard people say that the deputy division commander’s daughter-in-law looks just like a heavenly fairy, but anyone who’s seen her hasn’t failed to praise her for looking good, is that true?”

    “Isn’t that Tian Xian’er? That guy you haven’t seen before ……”

    Liu Erniu reacted in the middle of her sentence and looked at Zhao Hu with crossed eyes, “What’s wrong with looking good? No matter how good looking she is, she’s not your daughter-in-law, so you should just give up.”

    Say what? Aren’t I just curious to ask me?” Zhao Hu explained.

    Liu Erniu continued to cross her arms.

    “Tsk,” Zhao Hu conceded, thinking of further wrestling tonight do not want to sleep, early end of the topic, so do not take a breath to say, “you put a hundred hearts Pei deputy division commander look young but people participated in more battles than I have to fight and dare to pressure is not the kind of people you say. “

    After a breath of words, he turned over and lay down to sleep, three seconds later, his snoring was loud and clear, and he didn’t know whether he was really asleep or pretending to be asleep.

    Liu Erniu: “……”

    The same topic Hu Mei was also talking to Song Mao, the fourth head of the group, compared to Liu Erniu’s straightforwardness, Hu Mei asked more subtly.

    “How is the new deputy division commander?”

    Song Mao flipped through a page of the book and subconsciously replied, “As a human being? Being human is quite good.”

    There were many illiterates in the army, most of the soldiers were from poor families, some of them came to be soldiers when they couldn’t make ends meet at home and couldn’t read a few big words, and there were many illiterates in the commanders, but those who could read and write had a chance to be promoted.

    Song Mao is solid with military service to rise to the head of the regiment, want to go up again, you have to learn culture and knowledge, he himself is also a perseverance, so that is why the big night to light an oil lamp to read books.

    Hu Mei hooked a stitch of embroidery and raised her eyes to look at Song Mao who was concentrating on his book, “Listen to me well.”

    Song Mao put down his book, “Go ahead.”

    “The head teacher is about to retire, this originally qualified to go up only you and the third regimental commander, now suddenly came a Pei deputy division commander topped the front, a clear-eyed person can see at a glance that he is the head teacher’s successor, by the time the head teacher retired, there are still you and the third regimental commander what matter?”

    Song Mao said disapprovingly, ”Where were you thinking? How old is the division chief this year, far from retiring. Take a step back and say, even if Vice Division Commander Pei is the one who came to fill the vacancy of the division commander, we, Song, are still convinced.”

    “We are soldiers, you are better than me I will obey you. You don’t know, although he is young, Vice Division Commander Pei’s resume is not young, why, you don’t understand even if I tell you, anyway, you don’t follow the blind involvement.”

    Song Mao waved his hand, signaling his daughter-in-law not to worry, and lowered his head to read again after he finished.

    Hu Mei tightened the crochet hook in her hand and stopped talking.

    ******

    The next day evening off drill, Pei Silk An called a few soldiers to help build a flushing latrine and firewood room.

    Lu Nu secretly nodded, it seems that the beauty plan is quite good, it is more waste waist …… She has to raise this waist for a few days.

    Pei Silian himself is not idle, early in the morning to the logistics department to ask for boards back, according to Lu Nong design of the study model to do bookshelves, do a while in the morning, come back in the evening and then continue to do, overtime to catch up with the work.

    As for the other furniture, to find a carpenter master specially ordered, Lu Nong is in the courtyard and Pei Silian discuss where to find a carpenter master, Pei Silian took the hammer clanking nails, while back to Lu Nong said, “There are two villages under the mountain close by, the local market on the first and fifteenth day of the month, tomorrow is the fifteenth day, I’ll let Xiao Zhou go and inquire about it.”

    “No need to inquire, the carpenter of the Yushui brigade is called Xie Laosan, the carpenter closest to our troops, I’ll take my sister there tomorrow.”

    A female voice came from the doorway, Lu Neng and Pei Yinan turned to look.

    At the door stood a man and a woman, the man with white hair, a six-five type military uniform tufted, serious face, forehead decree lines cascade.

    This year, the whole army has changed into a six-five style uniform, changed the rank system, the cadres’ clothes are only two pockets more than ordinary soldiers, at first glance, the man looks like an ordinary veteran, but the cold and solemn temperament of his body reveals the extraordinary.

    To Lu Nong said six five type genuinely no previous uniforms look good, clothing color than not, version of the slimming can not compare, she secretly Pei Silent Ann replaced with rank system uniforms put away, thinking of one day Pei Silent Ann at home and then let him wear to show her.

    The woman looks younger than the man, but her face is also weathered, wearing the same six-five style uniform, with a gracious temperament, smiling and surveying Lu Nong and Pei Yinan.

    “Division Commander, Director Leng.” Pei Jingan greeted.

    The soldiers working in the yard stopped what they were doing to salute and ask

    Okay, the Division Commander nodded and told everyone to get on with it and leave him alone.

    The soldiers turned around and went back to work.

    Pei Jingan introduced Lu Nong, “This is Division Commander Li, and this is Division Commander’s wife, Director Leng.”

    Lu Nu: “Good day, Division Commander Li, good day, Director Leng.”

    “It’s great, look at Pei this couple, standing together with the pair of golden girls and boys like, raw set off others into the earth lumps, Pei the first day to get a whole army first beautiful man title, I see small Lu ah, is the number one beauty of our military families.”

    Director Leng joked that it was also the first time she had seen a good-looking and compatible man and woman, ignoring the age gap, this couple could be called a match made in heaven.

    “You’re joking.” Pei Shenan said.

    Director Leng shook his head, “You’re too cold in nature to joke, can Xiao Lu stand it?”

    Lu Neng tried to recall, from the beginning of the acquaintance, Pei Silk An is indeed a flower of the high ridge …… but is there a cold time for her?

    At first, it was polite, but the politeness was mutual, Lu Nong was more polite to Pei Silent An, she treated him as a shared roommate.

    I don’t know when, Pei Silk An turned from the flower of high coldness into the old colorful batch, to ask her whether she can stand the old colorful batch words, it is indeed can’t stand, waist can’t stand.

    Director Leng came over and took Lu Nong’s hand, “Xiao Lu looks not too old, like my daughter, have time to play at home, my family lives next door, here, the yard next to you is the home of me and Old Li.”

    Lu Nong agreed quickly, “Hey, good, I’ll definitely go if sister-in-law invites me.”

    Director Leng was pleased to see the situation, military wives stayed in the army for a long time, habits and styles gradually and troops soldiers close, the ball love to play straight, speak without beating around the bush, like people are also atmosphere dry and quick.

    Although Lu Nong looked weak, but unexpectedly refreshing not to do, I have to say that the director of the cold really did not expect, she was ready to face the heart of what people are ready.

    Pei Silk An as deputy division commander has been transferred, Director Leng and Lu Nong this deputy division commander wife later get along that is not a day or two days, it is likely to be ten years or eight years, if it comes to a bad temperament, the degree of badness can be seen.

    Li division commander said, “Pei just came, as soon as possible to settle the family, in a few days will be a joint exercise, when ten days and half a month can not come back, would have liked to arrange a reception banquet for you, this can only wait for the exercise back.”

    “Well? No comments?”

    Pei Jingan solemnly said, “No comment.”

    “No opinion is good,” the division chief also nodded seriously, the next second hey changed his look, turned his head and asked Lu Nong with a smile, “Comrade Xiao Lu? As a family member have any comments?”

    Lu Nong: “……” good guy, this face with Sichuan face-changing artists like.

    “No, no.” Lu Nu waved her hand.

    Division Commander Li turned his back, “It’s good that there aren’t any, the families of our military district are all good.”

    Director Leng shook his head helplessly and said to Lu Nong, “This old Li loves to scare people, belongs to a donkey, and changes his face when he says he will, so don’t take it to heart.”

    “Go, we do not care about them, into the house, you do not want to find a carpenter? I’ll take you to tomorrow, not far, just under the mountain, Xie Laosan’s craft that’s not to say, nearby ten miles eight villages big girls and small daughters-in-law marrying are looking for him to hit the box dowry.”

    Lu Nu nodded her head busily, “Uh-huh.”

    Entering the house, Director Leng saw the little summer cub in the crib and Gu Xiaohuai, who was chasing the little white dog around the crib, and was surprised, “You’ve given birth to two children?”

    Director Leng lowered his head to eyeball Lu Nong’s waist, and then looked at Lu Nong’s face, “My goodness, this is really not visible at all ……”

    “Why don’t you look like you’ve had a baby?”

    Lu Nu smiled and called out to Xiao Huai, “Xiao Huai quickly come over and say hello to Grandma Leng.”

    Little Huai stopped chasing the little white dog and obediently walked to Lu Nong’s side, raised his fleshy white face and said in a milky voice, “Hello, Grandma Leng, I’m Little Huai, I’m three years old this year, please teach me more.”

    “Aigoo aigoo,” Director Leng covered his heart, his face a

    With an expression of being adorable, “You’re three years old, no wonder you’re so polite, who taught you to say these words of more instruction?”

    Xiao Huai scratched his head in confusion and said, “Everyone says that.”

    “No one taught him, maybe the kid heard the usual family talk and he learned it on his own.”

    Lu Nong explained for Xiaohuai, and then touched Xiaohuai’s little head, knowing that his own cub is smart, I did not expect so smart, this is going to heaven, not only can understand the words of the adults, but also can summarize a set of meeting words on their own.

    Director Leng picked up Xiao Huai and kissed him, “Smart yo, our Xiao Huai is so smart, grandma simply wants to take you home to raise you, does Xiao Huai want to go home with grandma Leng? Grandma’s house also has little sisters and brothers as big as you.”

    Xiao Huai was in a difficult situation, shook his head after thinking seriously for a while, and said word for word, “Xiao Huai is a child in his mother’s house, he can’t go home with Grandma Cold.”

    Director Leng was amused and discussed with Xiao Huai, “Okay, knowing that Xiao Huai is a mommy’s boy and grandma won’t take you home, then when you are free go to grandma Leng’s house to keep grandma company and play with your little brother and sister, okay?”

    Lu Nu nodded at Xiao Huai, indicating that Grandma Leng was a good grandmother.

    “Uh-huh,” Xiao Huai said as she saw her own mom nodding and nodded seriously, “Like Grandma Cold, go play.”

    Wu Ma walked out with tea, “Here, have some water.”

    “And this is?” Director Leng asked.

    Lu Nong introduced the two, “This is my mom, surnamed Wu. Mom, this is Director Leng, the wife of Division Commander Li, specially here to ask our family if we need any help.”

    “Director Leng said he’s going to take me to a carpenter who makes furniture tomorrow, and mom, tomorrow’s a fair, so I’d like to go out and shop.”

    “Okay,” Wu Ma’s tone warmed up after hearing this, “This is great, we are new here and we don’t know what to expect, so we can familiarize ourselves with the environment as soon as possible if we have a guide, thank you so much, Director Leng.”

    “Wherever, wherever, it’s all as it should be.”

    Director Leng was polite and chatted with Wu Ma and Lu Nong for a while, the three of them discussed the time to go out the next day, Director Leng kissed Xiao Huai, reluctantly said goodbye to Xiao Huai and walked out of the house.

    On his way out, he didn’t forget to instruct Lu Nong, “Nong ah, don’t forget to bring Xiao Huai to my house to play.”

    “Don’t worry, I’ll go and nag you when I have time.” Lu Nu said.

    Out of the Pei family door, Director Leng sighed, “Pei Silian family is not bad ah, little Pei Xiao Lu, not to mention, both of them are a dragon and phoenix among people.”

    “Say little Pei’s husband’s mother, Wu Da Sister, that all the body Wen temperament, at a glance is the book read. And their two children, the girl is still in infancy for the time being can not see, I see their boy smart and early, the future will certainly have great success.”

    Master Li gave a “hmmm” and said, “Aren’t you talking nonsense?”

    “Xiao Pei and Xiao Lu are both great talents, how can their parents be so cowardly? How bad could the children be?”

    Director Cold: “……”

    “Don’t care to talk to you.”

    People don’t bother to talk to him, Li division chief instead have something to say, “I am optimistic about Pei Silk An this kid, outside are rumored that he is my successor, although it is nonsense, but Pei Silk An to really do a good job, to take over on the succession, it’s not impossible to do so.”

    Director Leng nodded, mentally raising the importance of Lu Nong back up.

    After Li Shi Chang couple left, Pei Silk An simply put down the work at hand, into the house to see the daughter, do not want to small summer cubs very do not give face to his own father, peeing all over his own father not to mention, the diaper also emits a stench.

    If Pei Zheng were here he would have shouted, “Ah! Xiaoxia is pulling again!”

    On the other hand, Pei Zheng’s own father, Pei Silian, looked as normal and calmly carried the little summer cub upstairs to change his clothes and diaper.

    Change diapers this work Pei Silk An familiar, generally as long as his family, small summer cubs almost long in his body, district change diapers in no time.

    Outside, see the day is not early, Lu Nong stayed working soldiers to eat, Wu Ma spoon, brought out the meal, a few soldiers did not want to eat more, the result was coaxed to eat a mouthful, and then the next wolf swallowing almost bite off the tongue.

    A few people smiled awkwardly after eating, Lu Neng handed them tea, “It’s a blessing to be able to eat, there hasn’t been one that could escape my mom’s handiwork yet.”

    “Hehehe, thank you Comrade Lu, you talk to Division Commander Pei, we’ll come back to the camp first.” The soldiers were also asked by Lu Nong to call her Comrade Lu, but this kid was resourceful, Vice Division Commander Pei he left out the word vice, Lu Nong didn’t poke him.

    “Okay, hurry back and get some early rest.”

    “Hey, you too.” After saying this the soldiers walked away carrying hoes and tools.

    Entering the house, Pei Silk An and Xiao Xia Cub came down from upstairs, Lu Nong walked over and touched Xiao Xia Cub’s butt, “Diaper changed? Aiya, you and your daughter stink, stay away from me.”

    Pei Jingan pursed the corners of his lips slightly.

    Lu Nong, however, did not notice Pei Silk An’s change of expression, busy moving the books to the attic study, she sighed in her heart Pei Silk An reliable, only one day, the study was largely shaped, and the design she wanted was almost one to one restored out.

    All that’s missing now is the desk and small couch.

    Pei Jing’an followed Lu Nong, holding her daughter and leaning against the door, leisurely watching Lu Nong move the books one by one.

    Lu Nu: “……?”? So angry.

    Lu Nu is unbalanced, a butt to sit on the ground, the attic is a wooden floor, she and Wu Ma are people who love cleanliness, the floor of the house scrubbed clanking, sitting on the ground is not dirty.

    Pei Silk An walked in holding the little summer cub, towering over Lu Nong and facing him squarely.

    Lu Nu hooked her hand, “Come over here, I’ll give you a good one.”

    Pei Jingan squatted down, Lu Neng took the little summer cub out of his hands, quickly stood up and played tricks, “Hmph, now that I’m holding the baby, it’s your turn to do the work, go move the books, baby daddy.”

    On the speed of ten Lu Nong can not compare to Pei Silk An, did not wait for Lu Nong to react to what happened, she herself and the little summer cubs have been in the arms of Pei Silk An.

    Pei Jingan forced Lu Nong into a corner, with a small summer cub between them, his breath intertwined, and in the not-so-large attic, the sound of shallow breathing was infinitely amplified.

    “Ahhh ……,” the little summer cub opened her big black grape-like eyes and stared at the attic skylight with dripping curiosity, ignoring her parents who had her sandwiched in between.

    “Little liar, still dare to talk out of your ass?” Pei Jingan’s low voice rang in Lu Nong’s ears.

    Lu Nu: “……”

    No martial virtues!

    She kissed the corner of Pei Jing An’s mouth, “Alright, is this alright?”

    Pei Silk An still does not let go, Lu Nong heart weak, had to tap his toes, kiss Pei Silk An’s lips, kissed just to leave, but was Pei Silk An probed, fish and water entangled up.

    Pei Jingan’s big hand still didn’t forget to cover the little summer cub’s eyes.

    After a long time, the little summer cub yawned, only then did Pei Jingan finally let go of Lu Neng, fearing that she would slip and fall, reaching out to hold her waist, “There is always a punishment for cheating, don’t you think so? Thick.”

    Lu Nu: “……” Hmph! Old colorful batch.

    After making a scene, the two sat down together on the ground, where many books were scattered around, Pei Silian casually picked up one of the poetry books and handed it to Lu Neng, saying, “Read it again.”

    Lu Nu had just been taken advantage of, blushing, arrogantly skimming her head, “Not reading.”

    In fact, she was a little inexplicably embarrassed, obviously had read the poems in this book to Pei Yinan before, obviously more excessive things than reading the poems have been done, â–¡ entanglement, lips and teeth all kinds of things have been done all over the child was also born, but now back, Lu Nong also do not understand why he would be embarrassed to read a poem.

    Pei Silk An is not forced, put the book of poems on a pile of books, took a piece of letter paper, drew out the chest of the pen, wrote down on the paper “Sam”, “Jane”, “treasure”, “Jade” and so on a dozen words.

    “What’s this?” Lu Nu wondered.

    “Which character do you think is the best?” Pei Shenan asked Lu Nong.

    Lu Nu shook her head, “All of these characters have good meanings, I can’t choose.”

    “Then let’s use Sam, this is the best word, you give your daughter the word ‘Xia’, I’ll give her the word Sam,” Pei Jing’an took out the word Sam alone, and lightly

    Pointing the tip of the little summer cub’s nose, he said, “From now on, you’ll be called Pei Xia Shen.”

    “Pei Xiachen, that’s a nice name.”

    Lu Nong thought for a moment, the little summer cubs back to the bedroom crib, from the box out of the uncle gave her two pieces of jade pendant, one of which has no words, and the other on the corner of the engraved the word “red beans”.

    Returning to the attic, she squatted down and handed the jade pendant to Pei Jingan to look at, saying bitterly, “Uncle gave it to me to pass on to the children, and I wanted to have someone carve the children’s names on the jade, but now I can’t find a master to carve them.”

    Pei Silk An took Lu Nong into his arms, picked up the jade pendant engraved with “red beans” and rubbed it carefully, and after a long period of silence, he sighed and said:

    “Linglong dice and red beans, do you know the love in your bones?”

    “Red Bean, do you know?”
