The year 1977 arrived as everyone had expected.

This year, many policies have also been changing quietly.

The Lu family spent a very meaningful New Year on the island.

Lu Shiyan and Gu Qingcheng took them for a walk on the beach. Even though it was the first month of the year, there were still many fruits ripening and they tasted very good.

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, Father Lu took his family back home.

Mother Lu was reluctant to let him go, but she was very busy with work that needed her to deal with.

Previously, Gu Qingcheng brought Dabao, Sanbao, Wubao and the little one here. This time, in order to take care of the children fairly, she left the other four children behind and let Lu's mother take these four back.

On the seventh day of the first lunar month, Lu Xinian also had to return to the army.

He stayed at home for ten days this time, and no one knows when he will come back next time.

As the saying goes, a mother worries about her son even when he is far away. The day before Lu Xinian left home, Gu Qingcheng didn't sleep well the whole night. He kept thinking about bringing something for Lu Xinian.

Lu Shiyan, on the other hand, was a carefree person who let his children run wild. He woke up in the middle of the night and found it strange to see Gu Qingcheng still tossing and turning.

He opened his eyes hazily and habitually held Gu Qingcheng in his arms.

The voice was low and a little tired.

"Wife...why aren't you sleeping yet?"

Crisp and numb.

Gu Qingcheng said helplessly: "Your son is going out tomorrow, and you are not worried at all."

Lu Shiyan: "He has grown up."

After a few simple words, the man regained his dominance and strength.

She pinched Gu Qingcheng's face, but her voice was gentle.

"Okay, go to sleep and stop thinking about other things."

Lu Shiyan even stretched out his big, bony hands to Gu Qingcheng's eyes to prevent her from opening them.

Gu Qingcheng: ...

…

The next morning, Gu Qingcheng still prepared a lot of food.

There was everything in the space anyway, so Gu Qingcheng looted a box of pork jerky, a can of dried ginseng, and also took off the packaging of White Rabbit milk candy and put them into the empty box one by one.

In addition to food, there are also some daily necessities. Everything that Gu Qingcheng thinks might be used has been prepared.

Gu Qingcheng also took out various medicines from the space, especially life-saving medicines and hemostatic medicines, which might be used at any time.

Ever since she heard firsthand about Lu Xinian's mission outside, she became even more worried and brought more things with her.

He kept giving me instructions before leaving.

"Niannian, these are oral medicines, Chinese medicines. If you feel unwell, just take one pill. They will strengthen your body and will not cause any harm to your body."

"These are life-saving medicines for external application. The instructions for use are written on them. Take two of this at a time... take three of that..."

Gu Qingcheng instantly turned into an old nanny, giving instructions from beginning to end, fearing that she would miss anything.

Lu Xinian felt warm in his heart and did not feel impatient at all.

Having Qingcheng as his mother is a blessing he earned in his previous life.

After waiting for Gu Qingcheng to finish speaking, she felt that she didn't bring enough things and turned around.

"It seems that what you brought is not enough. No, I have to prepare some more for you."

She strode back, and Lu Xinian pulled her back with amusement.

"No, Mom, that's enough. I can't take any more."

Gu Qingcheng took a look and found that it was indeed the case. The box was full without him noticing.

I think all mothers feel this way, always feeling like they haven’t provided enough for their children.

(PS: My mom is like this. Every time she goes out, her suitcase is stuffed full and very heavy. But there is nothing I can do about it. After all, it is my mom’s love. It is a sweet burden!)

Gu Qingcheng sighed: "Okay, then mom won't hold me back. When you go out in the future, call home more often. Tell mom if you are sad. Home will always be your safe haven."

Lu Xinian nodded, feeling deeply moved, and took uncontrollable steps forward.

He hugged Gu Qingcheng tightly.

"I love you mom."

Unconsciously, my eyes turned red for a moment.

He thought that this time he went out, it would probably take another two years before he could come back again.

He needs to face these two years alone.

Gu Qingcheng pursed her lips, and the corners of her eyes were red.

She whispered soothingly.

"Every year, mom will always be waiting for you to come back home."

…

After Lu Xinian left, life returned to normal.

There are still the same few members in the family. In order to cultivate the relationship with her younger brothers and sisters, Lu Mengmeng takes them for a walk almost as soon as she comes back from school.

A serious look and careful teaching.

After Lu Shiyan returned home, he also helped Lu Mengmeng teach the children.

Gu Qingcheng acted as a supervisor.

I found a place to sit and watched the father and daughter doing it.

Usually Lu Shiyan stood on one side, and Lu Mengmeng held a child's hand and walked from beginning to end.

I don’t know why, but these kids who can learn everything are a bit lazy when it comes to walking.

Lu Shiyan could only clap his hands back and forth on the other side.

"Baby, come here, come to daddy."

After all, they are Gu Qingcheng's children, and they all have one thing in common: they serve people based on appearance.

They all eat Lu Shiyan's face.

What's more, Lu Shiyan on the opposite side even took out a bottle of milk from his bag and shook it from time to time.

This is a huge temptation.

The children said they could not resist the temptation. They held Lu Mengmeng's hands tightly and babbled.

“I want…I want to drink!”

His pace also quickened a lot, and he ran forward with a clattering sound.

Lu Mengmeng sighed: "Slow down, slow down!"

This is a typical case of trying to run before learning to walk.

The final result, of course, was a terrible fall.

Sure enough, one of them lost control and the little one fell to the ground.

Then he started crying loudly.

“Wuwuwuwuwu…”

But fortunately I was walking on a quilt, so it didn’t hurt much when I fell.

Gu Qingcheng walked over worriedly and looked around.

"Why did you fall, baby? Does it hurt?"

The second little one didn't say anything, he just kept crying, only hiccuping occasionally.

Lu Shiyan put the bottle aside, held the little one’s chubby hand, and checked him all over.

After reading for a long time, I came to a conclusion:

There's clearly nothing wrong!

Lu Shiyan wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"It's ok, wife, nothing happened, this brat is just pretending."

What Lu Shiyan said was indeed correct. The second oldest child was suffering because he had embarrassed himself in front of his younger brothers!

Since his eldest brother was not around, he was the oldest. Unexpectedly, he fell down after walking a few steps.

His younger brothers are still laughing at him!

Can he not cry?

The second child felt bitter inside and pointed at the bottle in Lu Shiyan's hand.

“I want to drink!”
