Yin Changjun choked up when he opened his mouth. "I owe a lot of money, and I can't let you live a good life."
Qin Qin retorted loudly, "Who said you have to be rich to live a good life?! I like you and want to be with you. Even if I farm with you, I think it is a good life!"
As he spoke, tears flowed out, as did Yin Changjun, a grown man crying so hard that his lips trembled.
Qin Qin wiped his tears, took his hand, stroked the calluses on it, and said, "Two people are supposed to take care of each other when they are together. I can't just ask you to pay and accommodate me. I can also do anything for you, Chang Jun. I resigned and will not go back to the south. Wherever you are, I will be."
He raised his hand to wipe away Yin Changjun's tears again. It had been a while since he saw her, and Yin Changjun was a lot darker.
"Chang Jun, some ups and downs in life are normal. Don't be discouraged. We are two grown men and we are still so young. As long as we work hard, we will definitely be able to pay off the debt soon."
After saying that, he hugged Yin Changjun's waist and put his face against his chest. "What I identify is you, and it has nothing to do with others."
Yin Changjun wanted to hug Qin Qin back, but he said, "I'm... dirty."
Qin Qin raised his face and said, "I'm dirty too. I fell down several times just now."
After saying that, he smiled at Yin Changjun.
But Yin Changjun cried even harder when she looked at his smile.
If I was still depressed just now, now I am completely released.
The longing for my lover during this period, as well as the ruthless oppression of life, were all vented at this moment.
He was stupid and didn't know what fancy words to say. After crying enough, he sobbed and said, "Hey... Don't worry, I won't make you suffer. I... I love you very much."
Qin Qin said in his arms, "I believe you."
·
Yin Changjun said that you should love him well, it was not just words, he really did it.
Even in those most difficult and difficult days, he did not let Qin Qin suffer at all.
Although I had to live in my brother's yard at first, fortunately my brother and sister-in-law were nice people and very enthusiastic about Qin Qin.
Qin Qin wanted to go to the field to help him grow radishes, but Yin Changjun refused to let Qin Qin work in the fields no matter what. Qin Qin couldn't resist him, so he found a factory nearby to work in two shifts, which was much more tiring than his previous job.
The salary is incomparable to his previous job. Working twelve hours a day only costs three to four hundred yuan.
When Yin Changjun was paid every month, he gave it all to Yin Changjun, and also gave him his savings to pay off his debts. When Yin Changjun refused to take it, he pretended to be angry and refused to talk to him or eat.
In the end, Yin Changjun had to rely on him.
After they registered, the village secretary gave them a homestead site where they could build a house.
Yin Changjun had no money to hire workers, so he pulled carts of stones, cut down trees, and made adobe bricks himself.
After a good harvest of radishes, most of the money from the sales was used to pay off the debt, and a small part was used to buy lime and other materials and build the house. From then on, he and Qin Qin finally moved into their own small home.
On the day of moving, Yin Changjun promised Qin Qin: "When we have money later, we will build a building with several floors. You can live on which floor you want."
Qin Qin said with a smile, "Compared to a building, I still feel more comfortable in a hospital."
Yin Changjun said, "Okay, then let's build a big yard. We can build it in whatever way you want. I'll listen to you."
Qin Qin said, "I want a Soviet-style courtyard like my hometown."
"Medium."
When they moved here, Yin Changjun's mother specially made several new quilts for them, covering them all.
There was no bed in the house, only a big kang made by Yin Changjun himself. He heated the kang very hot, and Qin Qin lay on the new quilt, feeling extremely comfortable.
After a while, Yin Changjun came over coquettishly.
"I... I took a shower and washed myself with soap several times."
Qin Qin wants to laugh, "Well, so what?"
Yin Changjun said again, "Didn't my mother make me wear a quilt?"
Those two people can only sleep on the same bed.
When they stayed at the eldest brother's house before, they had never slept in the same room, let alone the same bed.
He sat on the edge of the kang and rubbed his fingers.
Qin Qin lay on the kang, tilted his head and looked at him and said, "We have already received the certificates."
Yin Changjun nodded with a red face.
Qin Qin said again, "You don't want the cub anymore?"
Doesn't this person think that the child was brought out by the couple's wish?
Yin Changjun blushed even more.
When Qin Qin saw this, he sighed deliberately and said, "So you built this house for me to live alone? Then are you going back to Big Brother's courtyard again?"
Yin Changjun shook his head. "I won't go back."
Qin Qin said, "Then come up!"
Yin Changjun jumped up onto the kang, and Qin Qin wrapped him in the only quilt. The two of them clung to each other, looking at each other and smiling.
Qin Qin said, "Why are you so timid? You usually look quite bold and are not afraid of mice or snakes. Why do you act like a big girl when it comes to business?"
Yin Changjun said, "I'm not timid, I'm bold enough. If I didn't have the courage to come to you several times, we wouldn't even know each other."
Qin Qin put his hand on his chest and said, "Then you should be bolder now."
Yin Changjun had already stood up with excitement. Hearing this, how could he still bear it? He turned over and pressed Qin Qin, and kissed his lips...
·
The project in the south was too big. Yin Changjun invested a lot of money into it. By planting dozens of acres of land, it couldn't even close the hole in workers' wages.
He did not dare to leave the land idle and kept growing and selling vegetables.
Many times, he would get up at three or four in the morning, pull vegetables on a cart, and walk for more than ten miles to sell them in the market.
Sometimes when his income is better, he will buy some rare gadgets for Qin Qin at the market and take them home.
Qin Qin said that he was spending money indiscriminately, but at the same time he couldn't put it down on those little things.
The entertainment of that era was very simple. Only a few houses in the whole village had TV sets, and they were still black and white.
Yin Changjun had no money to buy it, but he found a second-hand broken radio and repaired it by himself, and it still worked.
In the evening, after dinner, the couple would cuddle up on the kang, keeping warm while listening to Li Jindou's cross talk.
When they heard something funny, the two hugged each other and laughed.
Yin Changjun looked at his wife's appearance and secretly vowed to work harder to give him a better life.
He has already planned to acquire more land. It doesn't matter if he is tired, as long as he can make money.
I thought their life would go on like this. Although it was dull, they could always move forward little by little with hope.
Qin Qin even made plans to live in the small house built by Yin Changjun for the rest of his life.
But God is fair.
Maybe he was moved by their feelings, or maybe he felt that good people should not be unlucky all the time.
The couple's luck finally began to improve.
