Chapter 62: Acting like a spoiled child and saying goodbye
Lu Yuxiu looked at the house that was almost finished and sighed.
He had just returned from sea and had three days of vacation. He had originally wanted to go home to pick up the little girl and An An.
But the deputy battalion commander happened to be on leave to go home to visit his family. In view of the fact that he had just finished his home leave not long ago, his leader finally rejected his request to go home.
The house was ready, and he couldn't wait for the deputy battalion commander to come back, so he could only send a telegram and ask the girl to bring An An by train, and he would go to the station to pick them up.
Fortunately, when he came back, he brought a lot of things with him, so the girl only needed to travel light and take the train.
But I just couldn't stop worrying.
A soldier's wife was walking by and saw Captain Lu coming to see the house again. She couldn't help but joked, "Is Captain Lu missing his wife?"
Seeing that it was Sister Yang from next door, whose husband was the battalion commander of the regiment next door, Lu Yuxiu chuckled and said, "Hello, sister-in-law. I came to see you."
When Mrs. Yang saw the smile in Lu Yuxiu's eyes, she was secretly amazed. He was really a popular guy who attracted so many people. His smile was so beautiful.
Sister Yang asked, "When will your wife come?"
"It will be soon. Sister-in-law, you are busy. I will leave first." Lu Yuxiu smiled. He still lives in the camp these days and plans to move out after the girl comes.
When Mrs. Yang saw Lu Yuxiu leave, she became very curious about Captain Lu's wife whom she had not seen yet.
And she's probably not the only one who's curious!
......
Lu family.
Ever since she received the telegram from Lu Yuxiu, Grandma Lu has been packing her luggage.
Even though Lu Yuxiu said there was a supply and marketing cooperative on the island that had basic daily necessities, Grandma Lu still hurriedly prepared various things.
In the past, most of her grandchildren were in military camps, so she didn’t have to worry about their food and clothing, but now it’s different.
When my granddaughter-in-law and An An go there, we must not treat them casually.
Especially Lin Xia, Grandma Lu felt that she was willing to follow the army and live a hard life, and she couldn't help feeling guilty, so she had to prepare more things so as not to let her and An An suffer.
Lin Xia had no idea what Grandma Lu was thinking. She was stunned when she saw the large and small bags that Grandma Lu had prepared.
"Grandma, there are so many things, how can I carry them?" Lin Xia looked at the big and small bags, raised her arms and looked at her body.
She doubted whether she could lift it.
"Why do you need to take them? These are being sent to you." Grandma Lu pointed to the big bag next to her.
"This small bag is for you to carry with you. It contains some biscuits and candies. You can eat them when you are bored in the car." Grandma Lu arranged.
Lin Xia didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Was he treating her like a child?
Grandma Lu was packing when she suddenly remembered something. She stood up and took Lin Xia's hand and walked towards her room.
"What's wrong, grandma?" Lin Xia was pulled away by Grandma Lu, not knowing what was going on.
"Come with me!"
Arriving at the room, Lin Xia sat on the edge of the bed and watched Grandma Lu rummaging through the drawers looking for something.
Grandma Lu came over with a package in her hand, sat down next to Lin Xia, and opened the cloth package, revealing a carved box inside.
After opening it, the top layer was something wrapped in silk. Grandma Lu picked up Lin Xia's wrist and put a emerald green bracelet on it.
"This is for you, but you can't take it out now. Keep it well!" Grandma Lu looked at the bracelet on Lin Xia's wrist, as if she was lost in thought.
Lin Xia looked at the bracelet on her wrist in shock. The bracelet was emerald green all over, emitting a soft and bright light on her fair wrist. She kept her wrist raised and did not dare to move.
"Grandma, this is too precious! I can't..." Lin Xia was a little panicked. She didn't know much about jade, but she felt that the color and luster were obviously extraordinary.
"Don't refuse. This has been passed down in the Lu family. It was originally in the hands of Yu Xiu's mother, and later..." Grandma Lu paused and continued.
"Now, I'm passing this to you, and you'll be the one keeping it from now on!" Grandma Lu said with a smile. Although this thing has been passed down, there has never been a chance to wear it.
After her daughter-in-law got divorced, the bracelet returned to her, and now she is passing it on to the next generation.
Seeing that it was an inherited bracelet, Lin Xia no longer refused. If they were divorced in the future, she would return it to Lu Yuxiu. If they were lucky enough to continue being together, that would be another matter.
"Grandma, let's put it back in the box!" Lin Xia carefully took off the bracelet and wrapped it up with the silk.
The next day, Grandma Lu said to Lin Xia with a loving face, "It's only a few days away. Go back and visit your parents more often."
Lin Xia nodded when she heard this. Ever since Lin Xue’s problem was resolved last time, she had never returned to the Lin family.
Lin Xia brought her little tail An An back to the Lin family.
Today, Lin's mother is taking a day off and is waiting for Lin Xia to come back home.
As soon as Lin Xia entered the door, Hu Zi took An An out to play. After bringing An An back several times, the two little guys had become very familiar with each other.
Mother Lin pulled Lin Xia into the room and took out a package. She said with a hint of reluctance, "You are going to the island. I don't know when you will come back, and I don't know what you will need there. Nuo."
"This is for you. You'll need it someday." He handed the package to Lin Xia.
Lin Xia took the package and opened it. Inside was a lot of fabrics, some with patterns and some without, as well as some rare Dacron fabrics and some cotton cloth.
Lin Xia was surprised and asked: "Where did you get so much cloth?"
These days you have to pay for fabric.
Mother Lin smiled and said, "Have you forgotten what I do? Besides, these cloths all have some flaws. The factory gave the workers priority this time."
Lin Xia then remembered that Lin's mother was a team leader in the textile factory, but even if she was a cadre in the factory, her treatment could not be much better than that of ordinary workers in those days.
Even if the cloths were defective, it would be impossible for her to get so much by herself.
"How could there be so many?" Lin Xia had a feeling that something was wrong.
"I asked someone to replace it!" When Lin's mother heard her daughter ask this, she told her the truth. In fact, the defective cloth was only damaged in color or other places, and it could not be used to make clothes in large quantities, but making clothes by yourself did not require so many requirements.
She exchanged the money with someone else, and promised to return it to the other person next time she had the chance.
Lin Xiaqing stepped forward and hugged Lin's mother, holding back the tears in her eyes. Even though many things in this era were not as good as those in the future, she did not regret coming here at all.
In the Lin family, she felt their deep love. Lin's father and mother had never shown any favoritism towards boys.
Like most parents of this era, they don't express their feelings in words, but all their actions are to give to their daughters in the way they think is best.
"Okay!" Mother Lin's eyes were reddened by her daughter's actions. She didn't know since when her daughter started to love hugging her.
From being uncomfortable in the beginning to gradually getting used to it, no one can respond, but they are no longer as stiff as at the beginning.
"Mom, when the time comes, you and Dad will come to the island to see me!" Lin Xia leaned on her mother's shoulder, her tone full of dependence.
She had a weak relationship with her parents in her previous life, so she grew up with her grandparents and has followed them for a living since she was a child.
She didn't expect to meet this couple here. They were not good at speaking, but they aroused her desire to act like a spoiled child in their arms.
Lin Xia stayed at the Lin family for a whole day. They agreed to go to the island to see her when the time comes, and also agreed not to see her off on the day she left.
Because she was afraid that if she saw it, she wouldn't be able to control herself.
Time passed quickly, and three days later, it was the day for her and An An to set off.
