Time flies, and more than ten days passed in a flash.

This day was ten days away from the Spring Festival of 1976.

The officers also took leave from the army as scheduled.

The surrounding neighbors are basically preparing to go home.

Captain Duan was on duty on the island last year and was unable to return home, so he took a few more days off this year.

By now the family had packed up everything.

Before going home, the family of three came to Lu's house to say hello.

Gu Qingcheng was sitting at the door basking in the sun. When he saw a few people coming, he stood up quickly.

"Sister-in-law, are you going home now?"

Qiao Yueyue nodded.

"Yes, our hometown is very far away from here. It takes three days and three nights to get there by train."

"It's really time to go earlier. You only go back once a year."

Captain Duan held Xinxin in his arms.

"Come, Xinxin, say goodbye to your aunt."

Xinxin just doesn't play by the rules.

"Aunt, I feel like you've gained some weight recently, and your belly has gotten bigger."

Gu Qingcheng: ...

Ah this.

She stood there for a moment, not knowing what to say.

"actually……"

Gu Qingcheng thought, it will be three months in a few days anyway, so it doesn’t hurt to tell them.

But what happened!

Qiao Yueyue looked at Xinxin with dissatisfaction.

"Kid, why are you talking nonsense? Is this what your mother taught you?"

Then he apologized to Gu Qingcheng again.

"Qingcheng, I'm so sorry. Don't take what the child says to heart. Children should not be afraid of what they say. Children should not be afraid of what they say!"

Xinxin chuckled: "Xinxin didn't mean that. Xinxin just thought that the food at my aunt's house must be very good. The aroma of the food can even reach my house!"

Gu Qingcheng: ...

In that case, she just went along with it.

"I have indeed eaten more recently."

After a brief chat, Qiao Yueyue said that it was not easy for her to return to her hometown, and she would definitely bring some local specialties to Gu Qingcheng next year.

Gu Qingcheng also agreed, and secretly planned to go to Jiang City to bring some for them as well.

People around here like Liu Hua and Song Xiangqiao also all disappeared in the past two days.

Gu Qingcheng came later, mainly because Lu Shiyan had just taken a leave some time ago, so it was difficult to increase his time.

Three days before the Spring Festival, Lu Shiyan finally took a vacation.

They finished training in the army in the morning, and in the afternoon they boarded the train back to Jiang City.

Originally, Grandma Li was planning to return to Tongcheng, but she could not resist Xu Shuxiang's enthusiasm and insisted on bringing the old lady to Jiang City.

Xu Shuxiang: "Grandmother, this child has only spent a few days in Jiang City. After the New Year, we will all go to Tongcheng. Then we will take you back to Tongcheng. This year, our whole family will spend a happy New Year in Jiang City."

Gu Qingcheng also said, "Yes, Grandma, we are worried about you going to Tongcheng alone. It will only take about two days, not counting the time on the road."

Lu Mengmeng is a tough person who doesn’t talk much: “Grandma, come home with us, let’s go home together!”

Grandma Li couldn't persuade the three people, so she had to go along with them.

When the whole family arrived in Jiang City, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon on New Year's Eve. They took a car and traveled for another hour before arriving at Lu's house.

Father Lu and Old Man Lu had already been standing there, looking forward to it.

When they saw the car coming, they excitedly surrounded it.

“Finally I’m back!”

Father Lu was the first to come to Xu Shuxiang's side and said, "Wife, you're finally back. I missed you so much. You're so cruel. You didn't even call me for such a long time."

Xu Shuxiang glanced at him and said, "Call you? I'm so busy taking care of my daughter-in-law every day, how can I have the time to call you?"

Father Lu: ...

Mr. Lu asked anxiously.

"My granddaughter-in-law, are you feeling well lately? Is the baby in your belly obedient?"

Gu Qingcheng smiled and nodded: "Grandpa, the children and I are fine, you don't have to worry!"

Mr. Lu laughed: "It's all good, it's all good."

He said a few words, then suddenly realized his blind spot and opened his eyes wide in disbelief.

"Children?"

"Yes!" This time it was Xu Shuxiang who said, "Dad, Qingcheng is pregnant with twins. There are two babies at once!"

"We only found out about it a few days ago when we went to the hospital. I thought I would be back soon, so I didn't write to you. I decided to come back and give you a surprise!"

"Hahahahaha! Two is good!"

Mr. Lu smiled so hard that his eyebrows were revealed.

"My granddaughter-in-law is so capable. With just one move, she broke the ten-generation single-line inheritance in our family!"

Gu Qingcheng also kept a perfect smile on his lips and didn't say much.

She had said more than one before, so Xu Shuxiang automatically understood it as two...

Ah this...

Anyway, as long as she didn't say anything wrong, it depends on how they understand it.

Mr. Lu was in a very good mood today, and took advantage of this opportunity to bring everyone in.

"Come on! Let's go in and talk while we eat! The food is ready."
