The day of rebirth and elopement: caught by the military officer husband

Mother Lu felt a little embarrassed when she looked at her, "Oh, Xiaoxue, I have gained weight recently."

She touched her slightly plump cheek and smiled.

Shi Zhenli beside her also chimed in: "It's better to be fatter! I think I'm a lot rounder now."

She pulled at the corner of her clothes to express her agreement.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Mother Lu nodded repeatedly, "Being fatter will make it easier to give birth. By the way, Zhenli, how long do you have to take the medicine?"

She is still very concerned about the health of her second daughter-in-law.

"The doctor said to take it first and come back for a checkup every three months." Shi Zhenli answered calmly.

"Okay, okay, just relax." After comforting her, Mother Lu looked at the third daughter-in-law who was cooking and said, "Xiaoxue, when exactly are you going to leave with the army?"

Speaking of this, she still feels reluctant.

Lin Xiaoxue raised her eyes and said, "Let's go after the Lantern Festival."

Mother Lu immediately sighed, "Doesn't that mean it will only take half a month?"

In fact, Lin Xiaoxue had mentioned long before that she would join the army after the Chinese New Year.

But when facing the impending farewell, Mother Lu felt mixed emotions.

I can't bear to part with this hardworking and capable daughter-in-law who keeps the house in order.

At the same time, they are happy that the young couple will be reunited soon.

Shi Zhenli looked at Lin Xiaoxue with concern, as if she had suddenly lost her support.

"Xiaoxue, you are leaving so soon. Our factory is developing very fast now. Without you, we feel like we have lost our backbone."

Lin Xiaoxue smiled and comforted, "Second sister-in-law, relax. The road has been paved, let's just follow the steps as before. I believe everyone can do a good job."

As the conversation continued, the sound of a spatula stirring in the kitchen was heard again.

Plate after plate of delicious dishes with good color, aroma and taste, freshly cooked.

The braised pork is shiny and attractive, the steamed fish is fragrant, the stir-fried shrimps are colorful... every dish is mouth-watering.

In the evening, wisps of smoke rise from the roofs of the village, and the air is filled with the aroma of various dishes.

There is a strong meaty aroma and a light vegetable fragrance...

The whole village is filled with warmth and happiness.

Of course, the New Year’s Eve dinner prepared by the Lu family was also exceptionally sumptuous.

The big round table was filled with a variety of dishes. The Lu family sat around it in a circle, everyone with a smile on their face. Before starting to eat, they did not forget to say words such as good luck, happiness and well-being.

The whole family is full of anticipation and yearning for the new year.

The task of washing dishes after dinner naturally fell on Lu's mother.

Lin Xiaoxue took out the red envelopes she had prepared in advance and handed them to Lu Tongtong and Lu Xiaoyun.

"Tongtong, be good and grow up quickly." She said softly.

As for Lu Xiaoyun, she was really surprised when she received the red envelope.

"Sister-in-law, I am already such a big kid, and I still feel embarrassed to accept red envelopes."

Lin Xiaoxue responded with a smile: "As long as you are not married, you should take it!"

"Then I'd be remiss to refuse it." Lu Xiaoyun smiled happily. Who wouldn't love such a big red envelope?

She loves this third sister-in-law more.

Next, she received red envelopes from Su Guifen and others.

Lu Xiaoyun held a thick stack of red envelopes in her hands and looked at Tongtong. They both laughed out loud at the same time.

At this moment, Lu Xiaoyun's respect and love for Lin Xiaoxue reached its peak.

She secretly made up her mind to study hard and repay her in the future.

She is more confident about the future, especially after being admitted to a key school in the city, which gave her courage and motivation.

It turns out that a good teacher can make a huge difference in teaching. No wonder many families are scrambling to get their children into key schools in the city.

This New Year's Eve is destined to become the most unforgettable and warmest night in her memory.

The night sky outside suddenly lit up, and colorful fireworks broke the silence, bursting with dazzling light.

The children's cheers rose one after another, and the adults' laughter became even more cheerful.

"Wow, so beautiful!"

"Look at that. Doesn't that shape look like a little rabbit?"

Such innocent exclamations warmed Lin Xiaoxue's heart.

She came back to her senses and said to Lu Jingshi, "Second brother, should we put some in too? I bought a box."

Lu Jingshi nodded and smiled, "Okay, let's make the children happy too."

When Tongtong and Lu Xiaoyun heard that they could set off their own fireworks, they clapped their hands with joy.

The entire courtyard was suddenly filled with this simple and pure joy.

In this warm and peaceful environment, Lin Xiaoxue thought of her husband Lu Jingting who was far away in the military camp and could not be reunited with his family.

She called him using her home phone.

The call was quickly connected, and in the silent night sky, Lu Jingting's affectionate and slightly hoarse voice came, "Happy New Year, wife! I miss you so much."

Lin Xiaoxue smiled softly, "Me too! Just bear with it for a while, I'll come find you after the Lantern Festival."

Hearing the news that they would meet earlier than expected, Lu Jingting was obviously very surprised, "Really? That's great! I'll pick you up at the station then."

As the two talked, they naturally talked about the New Year's Eve dinner.

"Have you had anything delicious to eat tonight?" Lin Xiaoxue asked.

"I'm eating at Deputy Company Commander Su's place."

"Is that so? Did Zhang Qingqing and her husband prepare the New Year's Eve dinner?"

“Haha…” Lu Jingting laughed, “Zhang Qingqing cooks? Don’t be ridiculous. In the end, it was her parents who took care of the cooking.”

As the topic changed, it was mentioned that the clothing store opened by Zhang Qingqing recently was doing a booming business and had provided jobs for several military wives.

Lin Xiaoxue couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that everyone has their own strengths. Although Zhang Qingqing can't cook, she has a first-class business mind."

It looks like a female billionaire is about to be born.

"That's true." Lu Jingting agreed, "It's a good deed to be able to help military wives solve their work problems."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Xiaoxue looked at the fireworks blooming outside the window, and lamented that although these fireworks were not as beautiful as those in later generations, they exuded a rich atmosphere.

This is the taste of the New Year.

On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the Lu family sat in the living room, and the air was filled with the warmth and joy of the New Year.

Everyone can spend the day chatting and laughing, eating melon seeds and snacks.

By the second day of the Chinese New Year, the house was noticeably quieter.

Because according to custom, one has to go back to one's parents' home to pay New Year's greetings on this day.

Lu Jingshu and Su Guifen went out early carrying large and small bags.

Similarly, Shi Zhenli also took Lu Jingshi back.

Only Lin Xiaoxue was still at home.

Seeing this, Lu's mother asked with concern: "Old Third Wife, aren't you going back to your parents' home today?"

Lin Xiaoxue shook her head and smiled, "I'm not going back. I'm asking for trouble if I get scolded."

After hearing this, Mother Lu sighed and said, "Then don't go back."

After saying this, she felt heartbroken silently.

It would be great if such a good child was her daughter.

I don’t know what those people in the Lin family who don’t know the value of things are thinking.

But on second thought, if Lin Xiaoxue was her daughter, she could not marry Lu Jingting.

Becoming her daughter-in-law is the best arrangement.
