The next morning, sunlight filtered through the gaps in the curtains and woke up the sleeping people.
Since they didn't have to go to work, the two of them enjoyed this rare leisure time and didn't get up early.
When they were leaving, Qin An Ning suddenly suggested walking there since the post office was not far away. Lu Cheng agreed. It was already past nine o'clock when they arrived at the post office.
Lu Dongshuang's job was to sort letters, so they didn't see anyone in the office lobby.
Qin Anning queued up and called Zhou Xinping. After chatting for a while and saying hello, he tentatively asked, "Uncle Zhou, is there something wrong in the army?"
Zhou Xinping on the other end of the phone paused noticeably, then responded, "Nothing happened. Ningning, why are you asking?"
"But I received several packages yesterday." Qin An Ning talked about the items he received and the companies that sent the packages.
Zhou Xinping cursed these opportunists in his heart, but he still comforted Qin An Ning, "It's okay, these are all gifts from your uncles, just accept them if they send them to you." At worst, they can just return the same gifts.
After hearing what Zhou Xinping said, Qin Anning knew very well that further questioning would not yield any results, so he simply exchanged a few pleasantries and hung up the phone.
After paying and walking out of the post office, Qin Anning was absent-minded all the way and was completely out of state.
If Lu Cheng hadn't been watching over her carefully, she wouldn't know how many times she would have fallen.
Lu Cheng stopped and looked at Qin An Ning seriously. He asked with concern, "Ning Ning, what happened? Tell me what's wrong and we can solve it together."
Qin An Ning frowned and shook her head slightly. "Actually, there's nothing special. I just asked Uncle Zhou and he told me to just keep all those things. But I have a feeling he's hiding something important from me."
"Since he doesn't want to disclose it, you don't have to worry too much and affect your mood.
"After the New Year, we'll return a few days early and go to Jinshi to see what's going on." Lu Cheng consoled him.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Qin An Ning smiled, temporarily putting those doubts behind her and no longer letting her mind wander. "Then let's pack up and go back to the village."
After saying that, the two of them quickened their pace and headed towards home.
Because it was Chinese New Year, the two of them brought back all food this time. In addition to various meats, they also specially got some garlic sprouts, celery, peppers and cucumbers.
In order to make the appearance of these things more reasonable, Lu Cheng also specially released a little bit of each of these vegetables on the black market.
When they returned home, they found that several aunts from the village were visiting the Lu family. Seeing that there were outsiders, the two of them did not rush to move their things.
They just took the vegetables that were easily frozen back to their room and put them away, and the other meats were not afraid of freezing so they put them in the car.
Then the two of them went to the east room. Since there were guests there, it would be bad not to even say hello.
As soon as the aunts saw them come in, they immediately greeted them with smiles on their faces and began to praise them in various ways.
One of the aunts said, "Oh, Sister Lu, look at this little educated youth Qin. She's getting prettier and prettier. She's still a college student now, but she'll be a cadre in the future. You can enjoy the good life with her!"
The aunt next to her also echoed, "Who says it's not true? This young educated youth Qin is really amazing."
Another aunt who was even more talkative continued, "Isn't Lu Cheng also a college student? So, if you add your eldest son to your family, you'll have three cadres!"
Although these three people were flattering, they knew in their hearts that this was the truth, so they were really envious.
When others praised her son and daughter-in-law, Wang Qiufen smiled happily.
The flattery from several people made Qin An Ning feel a little embarrassed.
Only after those people left did Lu Cheng unload all the things in the car.
Wang Qiufen wanted to tell them something when she saw that they had brought back so many things, but then she remembered that Qin Anning's grandparents also needed them, so she held back and didn't say anything.
Qin Anning suggested, "Mom, let's make some frozen dumplings."
"Okay, then I'll go knead the dough, and Lu Cheng, you chop the dumpling filling. We'll make more dumplings, freeze them, and send some to the east end."
Since there were two children, Wang Qiufen didn't say clearly where to send them, but everyone knew it.
In fact, this is what Qin An Ning thought. It is not convenient for grandparents to make dumplings by themselves, so they can make frozen dumplings and send them to them. They can just cook them when they want to eat them. It is convenient.
Because it was to be sent to her grandparents, Wang Qiufen prepared several kinds of dumpling fillings, including cabbage and pork, sauerkraut and pork, celery and pork, and beef and radish.
When the two children heard that they were going to make dumplings, they stopped going out to play and sat by, staring at the food, almost drooling.
Wang Qiufen was so angry that she scolded them, "You two little bastards, you have to tell me that I am your grandmother, otherwise it will seem like I have treated you two unfairly. Did the dog eat all the meat your uncle brought back a while ago?"
Who else in the village could eat as well as they did? They ate meat every now and then, and every meal was filled with oil. Didn't you see that she and the old man had gained weight?
Qin An Ning couldn't help laughing when she saw Qing Qing and He He's greedy look, but she still helped to save the situation and said, "It's normal for children to like delicious food. Wait, we will cook dumplings for lunch."
Lu Chang and Lu Dongshuang were picked up by Lu Cheng in the evening. Both families had saved up their tickets for the past two months, and they brought a lot of things when they came back.
So the Lu family celebrated the New Year in a lively manner. On the 30th, Lu Cheng and Lu Chang got up early in the morning to sweep the yard and put up Spring Festival couplets, while several women were busy making breakfast and preparing the reunion dinner at noon.
"Ningning, go into the house and play with Qingqing, Hehe and the others. You are not needed here." Tang Lijuan said as she pushed Qin An Ning out of the kitchen.
Lu Dongshuang also agreed, "It's enough for me and my second sister-in-law to be here."
Qin An Ning was left in tears and laughter by them. How could this be possible? Everyone in the family was busy, but she was the only one doing nothing. That was too inappropriate.
"Go ahead, go ahead. You can't stay at home for many days a year. Take a good rest when you come back." Wang Qiufen not only agreed with the two's approach, but also went into the house and brought out the roasted melon seeds and peanuts for Qin An Ning to eat.
When Qin An Ning was at a loss as to what to do, she suddenly saw a jeep parked in front of the Lu family's door.
She was also wondering, who would choose to visit someone else's home during the Chinese New Year?
Then I saw the back door open and a tall man walked out.
When Qin An Ning saw the face of the person clearly, she was stunned and tears flowed down her face unconsciously.
Wang Qiufen was leaning on the window watching the people walking into the yard, and for a moment she didn't notice Qin An Ning.
Qin An Ning had already run out quickly, rushed into the arms of the person who came and burst into tears, "Dad!"
