The First Night in the Army in the 1970s : The Strongest Officer’s Eyes Are Red with Anxiety

Song Nantang and Lu Jianan met at their lowest points.

She was utterly betrayed and trapped, while he was alone and gravely ill. He loved and cherished her, pulling her from the mire and givi...

Chapter 185 Troubles

Ever since being reprimanded by the Political Department, the four children of Tian Xiao'e's family have no longer been able to eat at other people's houses in the compound, and their expenses have certainly increased.

But people in the compound also had opinions about Tian Xiao'e because of this incident, and generally no one paid any attention to her.

Tian Xiao'e was eerily silent, and everyone she looked at had a gloomy look on their faces.

Zhao Aihua warned Song Nanting, "This woman looks scary, you must be careful."

Song Nanting nodded, "Don't worry, I usually don't go out when I have nothing to do, so she wouldn't dare to do anything."

"That's good."

After Zhao Aihua left, Aunt Song said, "This old lady is really nice."

Song Nanting agreed, "Yes, I helped a lot in the village back then."

Aunt Song asked again, "It's getting cold, can you still wear your cotton jacket and trousers?"

Song Nanting was stunned, and Auntie Song knew that she hadn't considered these things. "Look at your belly. It's not noticeable now. But when it gets bigger in a while, will you still be able to wear those cotton-padded clothes?"

Song Nanting sighed, "It seems not possible."

"I knew it would be like this." Aunt Song smiled and sighed, "It was your sister-in-law who reminded me to ask. There are still some tickets at home. You can take some and make a cotton coat and cotton pants. You have to get through it."

Song Nanting thought for a moment and said, "Auntie, I can wear Jian'an's military coat in winter. It's loose and warm. I can just make a pair of cotton pants. I'll have enough cloth and cotton coupons."

Aunt Song didn't argue with her, "Okay, I'll make it for you when I buy it back."

However, before the cloth and cotton were purchased, Hua Yingyue's package arrived.

Lu Jianan carried it back.

That’s right, it was carried back, a big sack.

Song Nanting was chewing a radish, and when she saw this, she didn't care about chewing anymore, "Did mom send it?"

Lu Jianan nodded, "That's right."

Lu Jianan received a call from his mother yesterday. He didn’t call Song Nanting because he was worried that Song Nanting would have to carry it again. It would be too scary to carry a big sack while pregnant.

But his mother didn't say at that time that she would send so many things, so Lu Jianan still found it strange. He went over to take a look, and was surprised.

I'm afraid we have to move.

The couple poured out all the things on the kang. They had quite a complete collection of items.

The fabrics were basic, but this time they were all pure cotton, one roll was pure white, the other was navy blue. As for the rest of the miscellaneous items like malted milk and milk powder, I bought six cans each as if they were free.

In addition to these, there are also skin care products used by Song Nanting, still from several brands, one each, wrapped tightly.

20 kilograms of flour and 10 kilograms of rice.

There was even five pounds of peanut oil wrapped tightly.

Hua Yingyue really thought of everything she could think of.

There is also a cotton monkey coat inside, which is rose red and very beautiful. Judging from the size of her, Song Nanting can wear another one even if she is six or seven months pregnant.

I also have cotton pants with elastic waistband. I pull them a little and they can be worn for quite a while.

Song Nanting's eyes moistened, "How can mom be so nice?"

Seeing her like this, Lu Jianan hurriedly comforted her, "It's okay, don't think too much."

Song Nanting sniffed and said, "Let's go back and visit during the New Year."

This time Lu Jianan did not refute, but nodded, "Okay. Then go back and take a look."

Song Nanting smiled, "Would you feel embarrassed?"

Lu Jianan was stunned and couldn't help asking, "You don't think I don't want to go back because of what happened in the past, do you?"

"What else?"

Lu Jianan shook his head, "It's just too much trouble."

He didn't admit it and Song Nanting didn't say anything, "Okay, let's go back and celebrate the New Year."

Since she decided to go back for the New Year, Song Nanting had to call Hua Yingyue again to tell her about it.

Hua Yingyue was naturally happy, but she also felt that going back and forth was too tiring and was worried about Song Nanting's health.

Song Nanting said, "Mom, I'm in good health. We bought the tickets in advance and bought sleeper berths for the entire journey. I'm not alone, so it's okay."

Seeing her insistence, Hua Yingyue said no more, "Okay, then I'll wait for you to come back for the New Year."

After hanging up the phone, Hua Yingyue happily told the old man the good news. The old man was also happy, "Then we should prepare in advance. This is the first time for the new daughter-in-law to come here, so we can't neglect it."

"You don't need to tell me that." Hua Yingyue saw the old lady frowning after she finished speaking, so she asked, "Your grandson and granddaughter-in-law are coming back, aren't you happy?"

Meng Qiulan shook her head and laughed, "Of course I'm happy, but I'm worried that the grandfather and the grandfather will quarrel again. I'm not afraid of quarreling, but my granddaughter-in-law is back for the first time. What will she think if they quarrel again?"

Hua Yingyue couldn't help but frown upon hearing this, and after a while she said, "If he really has no sense and insists on making trouble with my son, I will divorce him and kick him out."

Meng Qiulan couldn't help but smiled, "Forget it, you can bear to give him up."

"Why not?" Hua Yingyue blushed. "I have to give him a heads-up in advance, otherwise no one will be able to stop him if he gets really stubborn."

Hua Yingyue looked around the house and said hurriedly, "No, I have to see if there is anything missing and prepare everything before people come."

Hua Yingyue hurried out. Meng Qiulan said to Lu Chengbai, "I noticed that she has changed a lot since she came back from the Northeast. What kind of person is our granddaughter-in-law?"

This question stumped Lu Chengbai. After thinking for a long time, he said, "She's a pretty good girl."

There is not much difference between saying this and not saying it.

When they came back, the old couple also talked about Song Nanting's affairs, and all the things that happened in the past. The old couple sighed and felt sorry for the little girl, "She has no family, so we must treat her well in the future."
