Chapter 90 Sweetness on New
Year's Eve After the New Year's Eve dinner, the ginger tea cooked by Ma Siqing was ready.
Each of them drank a cup of ginger tea and chatted about all sorts of things.
Chen Xiaowei and Zhong Guofan sat for a while, then Chen Xiaowei winked at Zhong Guofan and the two said goodbye.
Before leaving, Ma Siqing asked them to take a portion of dumplings back home, and also gave them steamed buns, sticky bean buns, two frozen pears per person, and a handful of candy per person.
The two thanked her and went home happily.
Tong Shiyu saw them off, and Ma Siqing found two red envelopes wrapped in red paper on the kang.
She was moved by these two guys.
"Brother Shiyu, Xiaowei and Guofan left red envelopes."
"Siqing, keep them. It's a little gift from them. Just call them more often when you have dinner."
"Yes."
Ma Siqing opened the red envelopes and found one was 20 yuan and the other was 10 yuan.
"Shiyu, bring them some food tomorrow morning. This money is too much."
"Okay, help pack it up and I'll send it to them early tomorrow morning."
"It's okay if you don't send it. Give these two unmarried guys a red envelope tomorrow so that they can find wives as soon as possible."
"All up to you."
"Brother Shiyu, time flies so fast! It's Chinese New Year already."
"Yes, with you by my side, every day feels like it goes by so fast."
"Siqing, I have to go on a mission again on the sixth day of the Chinese New Year. Can you stay at home alone?" Tong Shiyu looked at Ma Siqing apologetically.
"Don't worry, I have stocked up enough vegetables and rice. I won't go out unless there is something important. At most, I will go out to exercise every day." Ma Siqing comforted Tong Shiyu's depressed mood.
"It will take longer this time. Every year at this time, the patrol may take about a month. The earliest is one month, and the latest is one and a half months before I can return to the army."
"I'm ready to marry you. You don't belong to me alone now. There are so many people's safety waiting for you to protect. I'm not unreasonable, don't worry!"
"Siqing, you're so nice. I'm just afraid that you will be sad being alone."
"I'm at home sewing clothes for the babies, and I have to sew summer clothes for the two of us. Time flies."
"I'll check if there is enough firewood tomorrow. If not, I'll go to the forest farm to buy some."
"Will it be expensive?" Ma Siqing was worried that firewood would be too expensive.
"Not expensive. The last thing Anling lacks is firewood."
"Siqing, was it very hard for you to celebrate the New Year at home before?"
"Brother Shiyu, I was stupid at that time and didn't find it hard." Ma Siqing looked back and found that she was a masochist in her previous life.
When she died, her soul followed Tong Shiyu and wandered for decades before she woke up.
In this life, she has made those people suffer the same hardships she suffered when she was reborn.
Yao Guozhu beat her for three months, but she had to be bullied by others in the labor camp for twenty years.
After all, she was the one who earned more, and in her previous life, her marriage with Yao Guozhu lasted only three years.
Three people from the Lin family died, three lives.
Although her original intention was just to make the Lin family suffer, she never thought that the Yao family would use fatal means at the first move.
Unfortunately, Lin Chunhua, who hurt her the most, is still alive and well, and has no worries about food and clothing at home.
"Siqing, tell me if you are wronged in the future. I am not afraid that others are more powerful than me, nor am I afraid that others are stronger than me. I will help you get justice even if I risk my life."
Ma Siqing's eyes were filled with tears. In her previous life, Tong Shiyu was also so kind to her.
But she has been an ostrich all her life and did not let Tong Shiyu get the happiness he deserved.
In this life, such a thing will not happen again.
Tong Shiyu held Ma Siqing in his arms and told her about his love.
Ma Siqing felt sweet and warm in her heart.
"Brother Shiyu, I have nothing to do tomorrow, how about we stay up together to celebrate the New Year?"
"Can your body bear it? Otherwise, you go to bed first and I'll do it."
"No, I want to be with you. Only when I'm with you, my life will be meaningful."
"Let's get up later tomorrow and stay up together tonight to celebrate the New Year."
It was a little regrettable that firecrackers were too difficult to buy.
But Ma Siqing thought it was a good thing that she didn't buy them, otherwise her family would be too ostentatious and would be hated again.
Under the lamp, Ma Siqing was sewing clothes for the children, and Tong Shiyu was helping beside her.
Time passed quickly, and the two looked at their watches together waiting for midnight to arrive. They
also counted down together:
"Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, zero!"
The two voices were both tacit and excited.
When midnight came, Ma Siqing hugged Tong Shiyu and said happily: "Brother Shiyu, Happy New Year! I wish you good health and peace in the New Year!"
"Siqing, thank you! Wherever I am, I will remember to protect myself. I am not alone now. I have you and the child. Don't worry too much. Believe in your man's ability."
After that, Tong Shiyu took out a red envelope from his pocket and handed it to Ma Siqing.
"What is this?"
"New Year's money, you and the baby have it."
"Where did you get the money from?"
"I helped my comrade recently, and as a reward, he gave me ten yuan." Tong Shiyu scratched his hair and said a little embarrassedly.
Ma Siqing didn't ask much and took the red envelope. As long as it was not black money, she dared to take it.
"Give me less this year, but increase it year by year, okay, Siqing?"
"Okay! Since you gave me New Year's money, I'll give you a gift too."
Ma Siqing turned around and took out two things from the cabinet next to the sewing machine.
The last time Tong Shiyu went out on a mission, she always felt that she was missing some equipment.
After thinking for a long time, she remembered, and she quickly took out earmuffs and a special mask for Northeast China with cotton added from the space supermarket.
After transforming them into fabrics from the 1970s, Tong Shiyu was planning to give them to him when he was on a mission next time. Unexpectedly, they came in handy ahead of time.
Ma Siqing put them on Tong Shiyu one by one.
"This can protect your ears."
"This can protect your mouth and face."
When Tong Shiyu saw the ear and face protectors that Ma Siqing made for him, he felt as happy as if he had drunk honey.
The woman in front of him, the woman he had been thinking about day and night for more than six years, is now by his side every day, caring for him, sewing clothes, cooking and doing housework.
Tong Shiyu hugged Ma Siqing tightly, muttering, "Siqing, you are really the best Siqing in the world."
"Brother Shiyu, you are also the best Brother Shiyu in the world."
It was freezing cold outside, but warm as spring inside.
The affection between the two raised the temperature of the house a lot.
"Siqing, you are pregnant, let's take a rest and don't get tired. You should get up later tomorrow. I will make breakfast and go to the camp to wish Commander Ma and the soldiers a happy new year."
"Okay, let's go to sleep!"
After turning off the lights, the two crawled into the quilt.
The kang was warm, and Tong Shiyu hugged Ma Siqing to celebrate the first New Year after they were together.
At six o'clock in the morning, Tong Shiyu quietly got up.
After Ma Siqing became pregnant, she was easily tired, and he didn't have the heart to wake her up.
After making breakfast, Tong Shiyu went to the camp.
