Time passed quietly in the busyness, and in the blink of an eye it was the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month.
"The New Year is coming in two days. I plan to go to the factory to say hello today and not go to work tomorrow. How about we leave for the village tonight?" Qin An Ning said happily.
Because of the Heart-Rescuing Pill, the factory did not have too many restrictions on Qin Anning's working hours.
Moreover, she is currently focusing on the research and development and experimental work of brain disease drugs, so working a few more or less days will not have much impact.
Lu Cheng nodded in agreement, "Okay, then I'll kill two pigs, a sheep, and a cow. After giving the gifts, we can take the rest back home and have a prosperous New Year."
Although he is not in the county for the time being, the interpersonal relationships he has established still need to be maintained with care, such as those with Fang Goudan and Stationmaster Jiang.
That way, if something happens and they are approached, they won't refuse.
Qin Anning nodded and agreed to Lu Cheng's proposal without hesitation.
This is how human relationships work. It is normal to visit each other during festivals.
Qin Anning was preparing to go to work as usual. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Lu Dongshuang raising one hand to knock on the door.
"Third sister, why are you here?" Qin An Ning asked curiously.
She raised her wrist to check the time. It was time to go to work.
"There are packages for you in the post office, both from Beijing and Tianjin. I came over to tell you." Lu Dongshuang replied with a smile.
In fact, she saw these packages yesterday afternoon, but she didn't come over in the evening because she had to take Pan'er with her after get off work.
The post office was closed at that time, so there was no way to pick up the package.
"Got it." Qin An Ning turned and said to Lu Cheng behind him, "Go get it later. It's probably something sent by Big Brother and Uncle Zhou."
Under normal circumstances, one needs to go to the post office in person to pick it up. But Lu Dongshuang works at the post office, so it is naturally much more convenient for her to do things.
"Okay, no problem." Lu Cheng responded and watched Qin An Ning walk away until she disappeared from his sight. Then he turned around and went back into the house.
When Qin An Ning came home from get off work in the evening, she saw several large packages on the ground as soon as she entered the door, and they were still unopened.
"Why are there so many? Who sent them? Why didn't you open them and take a look?"
Lu Chengzheng came out of the kitchen carrying steaming hot meals and casually replied, "There are quite a few people here. I'll leave it for you to open so you can experience the joy of opening packages on Double Eleven."
Qin Anning burst out laughing. She glanced at the package on the ground and said, "You know what, I really do feel that way. Then I'll experience the fun of opening a blind box."
"Come and eat first. It will get cold soon. You can slowly unpack it after you finish eating."
Qin Anning washed her hands and came over to eat.
Lu Cheng made a dish of braised lamb chops today. The color was bright and attractive. Each piece of lamb chop was covered with thick sauce and dotted with some green chopped green onions and coriander on the surface. Not only was the color combination eye-catching, but the rich aroma was so fragrant that people couldn't help swallowing their saliva.
She couldn't wait to pick up a piece and put it in her mouth. The mutton was tender and juicy, with a mellow and rich flavor, and just the right amount of salty and sweet. Qin Anning gave a thumbs up while chewing, "Mm, delicious."
"If you like it, eat more. I'll make it for you often in the future." Seeing that Qin An Ning was eating with relish, Lu Cheng put the plate of lamb chops in front of her.
Qin An Ning almost finished eating before she remembered to ask, "What's left after you gave away the gifts? Do you want to buy something to take back?"
"There's still half the pork and quite a bit of beef left. There's only a few pounds of mutton left, but a little less won't hurt. Taking too much at once would just be too conspicuous."
"Okay, then I'll follow your arrangements. We have so many things in our space anyway, so don't let my parents suffer."
After dinner, they cleaned up the dishes together and came over to open the package.
Qin Anning first carefully checked the sender's name. When her eyes fell on the three words "Han Ximei", her eyes widened in shock, her face full of astonishment, "Why would Han Ximei send a package to me?"
Ever since her father's accident, she had never received anything from Han Ximei, whether during the two years she stayed in Beijing or later when she went to the countryside.
Even when she and Lu Cheng got married, Han Ximei didn't give any money as a gift.
Not to mention that they had some major conflicts when they went to the army before.
Now I suddenly received this package from Han Ximei, which is really puzzling.
Lu Cheng was also very confused. "Why don't we open it and see what's inside?"
Qin An Ning nodded in agreement, then picked up a pair of scissors and carefully cut along the seams of the outer layer of the package.
They were both stunned when they saw that it was filled with fabrics, brand new clothes, wool and other good things.
Qin Anning stared at Lu Cheng with wide eyes and asked in confusion, "Did Han Ximei get kicked in the head by a donkey?"
Something must be wrong when things are out of the ordinary. They had originally planned to return to the village tonight, but Qin Anning thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we go back tomorrow? I'll call Uncle Zhou tomorrow and ask him what happened in the army."
"Okay, you can open the other packages and take a look so that you can have a clearer idea of what's going on.
When I went to pick up the parcels today, my third sister told me that four parcels arrived yesterday, while the rest arrived today. It seems that these parcels were not sent out at the same time.
Qin An Ning nodded and began to unpack.
As the packages were opened one by one, Qin An Ning was surprised to find that some people she didn't usually contact had sent her things, and they were all good things.
This made her even more confused and puzzled. What on earth was going on in the army?
Just as Qin An Ning was lost in thought, Lu Cheng advised, "Don't let your imagination run wild. Just ask tomorrow and you'll know."
He stepped forward to help pack up the items sent by Zhou Xinping, Political Commissar Si, and Captain Wei's family.
Oh, by the way, there are also things sent by my eldest brother and Wei Anan.
As for the remaining packages, I will keep them aside as they are and make a decision tomorrow after I find out what happened.
Otherwise, the items have already been mailed to them, and they would not be able to rashly return them to their original place.
Qin An Ning looked at Lu Cheng and said, "Let's go to the space and pack up. I guess no matter what the reason, the chances of these things being returned are slim.
But I don't want to owe them a favor, so let's find something of equal value and send it back to them."
Lu Cheng nodded. "How about I kill a couple of pigs and a cow and make some bacon, beef jerky, air-dried chicken, etc. After all, there's a shortage of meat everywhere right now, so these can be used."
The two of them discussed and went into the space to prepare things.
