Lin Qing looked at Gu Nanxun in surprise, "What happened? Did it move again?"

"It moved again? Does the little one move so often?" Gu Nanxun reached out and touched Lin Qing's belly, asking curiously.

"It only started recently, and it's been moving quite frequently lately!" Lin Qing said with a smile, her face full of happiness.

"..."

"Jianguo, what are you carrying?" In the evening, Dong Xiulan was sitting at the table sewing clothes when she saw Lin Jianguo walk in from outside carrying a large bundle, so she asked curiously.

"What else could it be? It was mailed from Heilongjiang Province, so it must be our daughter sending us something again!"

Lin Jianguo put the package on the ground and took off his military overcoat as he spoke.

"This Qingqing is really something, always sending things home. Her son-in-law must have something to say about it."

As Dong Xiulan muttered to herself, she picked up a pair of scissors and opened the package. Her daughter had just sent a military overcoat to the family a while ago, and now she had sent so many other things. Dong Xiulan was both happy and worried.

"How is it? Is there any news?" Seeing Dong Xiulan unpacking the package, Lin Jianguo hurriedly followed and asked anxiously.

"Don't worry, I'm looking for it." Dong Xiulan took out the items from the package one by one. Her heart skipped a beat with each item she took out. Finally, she found a letter at the bottom of the package.

"Quickly open it and see what's written on it?"

Dong Xiulan and Lin Jianguo opened the letter and read it. After reading it, they looked at each other, speechless for a long time. The letter was from Gu Nanxun. In it, Gu Nanxun explained that he had sent the things to Lin Qing without her knowledge because he was afraid Lin Qing would go to the commune with him. He also mentioned that Lin Qing had prepared the things, gave an update on his maternal grandparents' recent situation, and invited Dong Xiulan and Lin Jianguo to come to his home for the Chinese New Year.

"Jianguo, what do you think?" Dong Xiulan was somewhat tempted. She missed her daughter and wanted to visit her, to see for herself how her daughter was doing, and to see what kind of person her son-in-law was. Besides, her own parents had been sent down there, and she wanted to see how her parents and younger brother's family were doing.

"But will we have a place to stay in the future?" Lin Jianguo asked hesitantly.

“There should be a place to stay. Yunfeng said he lives alone. Since our son-in-law invited us, there should be a place for us to stay,” Dong Xiulan said expectantly.

“But…” Lin Jianguo was still a little hesitant. He also wanted to see his daughter, but he felt it was inconvenient to go to his son-in-law’s house.

“Jianguo, go there. Our daughter and son are there. It’s not fun for just the two of us during the New Year. If you go there, you can also visit your parents.”

Dong Xiulan wiped her eyes with her hand and said while crying.

"Oh dear, don't cry! I didn't say I wouldn't go!" Seeing Dong Xiulan start crying again, Lin Jianguo hurriedly grabbed his sleeve to wipe away her tears. Ever since his parents-in-law were sent to the countryside and his youngest son, Lin Yunfeng, also went to the countryside, his wife would cry from time to time, and his attempts to comfort her were useless.

"Alright, stop crying. I'll ask how many days off we have for the Lunar New Year when I go to work tomorrow. If not, I'll find someone to cover for me for a few days, and we'll go ahead of time."

Seeing his wife crying incessantly, Lin Jianguo finally made up his mind and said, "Fine, let's go. Let my wife see it, and she'll be at ease. If it really doesn't work out, we can always squeeze in with our son."

"Really, no take-backs!"

When Dong Xiulan heard Lin Jianguo say he was going, she immediately stopped crying and started laughing. Then, fearing that Lin Jianguo might change his mind, she couldn't help but ask him again.

"No regrets. I'll go ask tomorrow, and I'll write to my son-in-law once the time is confirmed!"

"The matter has been decided," Lin Jianguo said with a relaxed expression.

"Let's see what our daughter mailed us." After saying that, Lin Jianguo opened the things that Dong Xiulan had placed on the table. He first opened the largest item wrapped in cloth.

"This...this...this is a wolf skin?" Lin Jianguo said, stroking the wolf skin in his hand with a look of surprise.

The wolf pelts under my hands felt soft and comfortable to the touch, with a slight warmth, and smelled particularly good.

Lin Jianguo carefully laid out the wolf skins. There were two wolf skins in total. The skins had natural and beautiful patterns, and the fur was thick and shiny, with each hair looking so lifelike.

Hearing the sound, Dong Xiulan came over, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. "It really is a wolf pelt! Where did this child get such a good thing? Did they go hunting in the mountains?"

Lin Jianguo gently stroked the wolf pelt with his hands, his movements light and soft, as if afraid of accidentally damaging it. "I heard from Qingqing that my son-in-law is a retired soldier. It seems he must be quite capable."

Dong Xiulan also carefully touched the wolf skins on the table with her hands. "These two wolf skins are really big. If they were sewn together, they could be used as a mattress."

Upon hearing Dong Xiulan's words, Lin Jianguo quickly folded the wolf pelt and put it back into the cloth bag. "Such a good wolf pelt, it's such a waste to spread it under me!"

"Pfft..."

Seeing Lin Jianguo's expression, Dong Xiulan couldn't help but laugh out loud and quickly said, "Alright, if you don't make it into a mattress, you can keep it and keep it safe."

After putting away the wolf pelt, Lin Jianguo opened the other packages. "What kind of meat is this? It doesn't look like pork."

Lin Jianguo opened something wrapped in newspaper, and inside were strips of meat. He took one out, smelled it, took a bite, and then handed another to Dong Xiulan, saying, "Xiulan, try this. Doesn't it taste like beef?"

After taking the meat strip, Dong Xiulan put it in her mouth and took a bite, savoring it carefully. "The taste is similar, but I can't be sure. I've only eaten beef once, and it's been five or six years since then. I've long forgotten what it tastes like."

After finishing his meat strips, Lin Jianguo wrapped them up in a newspaper and handed them to Dong Xiulan, smiling as he said, "That's fine then. But this meat is really delicious. Let's put it away and eat it slowly."

Then Lin Jianguo opened the other packages, and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement with each one he opened. Inside the packages were pork jerky, beef sauce, mushroom sauce, canned goods, and so on. The couple were both worried and happy after seeing them.

"It seems my daughter is doing quite well over there. These things can't be bought with money alone."

Lin Jianguo nodded, "Yes, this wolf pelt isn't something just anyone can get their hands on. I'll have to keep it safe; it might come in very handy someday."

Looking at Lin Jianguo like this, Dong Xiulan shook her head as she sorted through the things her daughter had sent.

"..."

In Beijing, Chen Jianjun brought home three large packages after get off work. Luckily, he had something to do that day and drove there; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to get those three packages back.
