Hu Lin didn't want to play with the children, so he went to help in the kitchen.
By noon, the snow stopped.
Several people were busy in the kitchen when they suddenly heard someone outside shouting, "Huai Jing is back." Hu Lin paused.
Her cousin Xu Jinxiu and cousin's wife Zeng Yuandong both teased her.
"When she heard Huai Jing was back, her heart flew. Go and have a look, we are here!"
"Yeah, we haven't seen each other for more than a year." Su Hui also joked.
They also knew something about Zhou Huaijing's affairs.
Although they didn't know why Zhou Honggan and his wife agreed to let Hu Lin take the risk, they were particularly fond of Hu Lin because of this.
Li Aihua, who knew the truth about their fake marriage, looked at her daughter's expressionless face and sighed silently.
At this time, Xu Mingzhu came over to talk to her, "It would be great if the two of you could take this opportunity to have a child."
Xu Mingzhu felt that Hu Lin was 22 years old this year and Zhou Huaijing was five years older than Hu Lin, so the two of them could prepare to have a child.
In this way, Hu Lin will not feel lonely when Zhou Huaijing is not around.
When Li Aihua heard this, she was so shocked that the spatula in her hand shook.
When Xu Mingzhu looked over, she could only smile awkwardly.
Hu Lin left the kitchen while they were joking, and happened to meet Zhou Huaijing who came to see her under the eaves.
He was dressed in military uniform and walked towards her step by step.
Finally, he stood in front of her, lowered his proud head slightly, and said softly, "I'm back."
Hu Lin raised his eyes to meet his own, and replied softly, "Yeah."
She didn't know what to say, she just felt her heart beating faster and her blood heating up.
"I miss you very much." Zhou Huaijing said goodbye to the loose hair on Hu Lin's temples.
Hu Lin tilted his head slightly and whispered again: "Yeah."
The skin on the temples that was touched by Zhou Huaijing's fingertips slowly began to heat up.
At this time, a man came up behind Zhou Huaijing and said loudly: "I was wondering why you left after saying hello to the elders. It turns out you were in a hurry to see your cousin's wife!"
The person who came was Xu Jincheng, Zhou Huaijing's cousin.
After being teased by Xu Jincheng, Hu Lin's heartbeat quickened a little.
Zhou Huaijing's thoughts of speaking his mind were interrupted, and he turned to look at Xu Jincheng, "I'm not like you, with your wife by your side every day."
This sounded a little aggrieved, and Hu Lin felt inexplicably embarrassed.
"Then you can let your cousin's wife go with the army." Xu Jincheng suggested without understanding the situation, "It's not like you can't."
In the army, when one reaches a certain level, the wife and children can accompany the troops.
"That won't work. My wife has other things to do. How can I keep her at bay?" Zhou Huaijing smiled and declined.
Xu Jincheng was stunned when he heard this, and then he stared at Zhou Huaijing.
He was tricked by Zhou Huaijing and was stepping on him to please his wife.
How treacherous!
Hu Lin knew it, but she benefited greatly from it.
Su Hui and the others listened in the corner of the kitchen for a while, then came out and said, "Alright, stop making trouble, it's time to eat, come and serve the dishes."
The conversation was forcibly interrupted, and several people went to the kitchen obediently to help serve the dishes and prepare for lunch.
Two tables were set up, with the parents and elders sitting at one table, and the younger generations and grandchildren sitting together at another table.
Several families were having a lively time, drinking some hot wine and chatting.
It started snowing again while we were having dinner. After dinner, everyone sat in the side hall warming themselves by the charcoal stove.
A group of adults drank tea to sober up, chatted and enjoyed the snow scenery.
The children were tired after playing for a long time, so they went to their room to take a nap, and the daughters-in-law helped to clear the table.
Zhou Huaijing found a hot water bottle for Hu Lin and put it in her hand.
She was still a little afraid of the cold, and she didn't know when Zhou Huaijing discovered it.
"How do you know I'm afraid of the cold?" Hu Lin asked.
"Every winter, I never see you touch cold water, and you rarely go out. Most of the time, you prefer to stay on the kang bed."
Zhou Huaijing recalled some things from the past.
"Good observation!" Hu Lin said perfunctorily.
The two of them lay on the lounge chairs under the eaves, looking at the snow scene in the patio, while tea was brewing on the stove on the tea table.
Zhou Huaijing talked about some things that happened in the army. Hu Lin listened without saying anything, but his mood was calm.
Make dumplings for dinner.
This year everyone was here, so we tried some new tricks when making dumplings.
There were coins, red dates, candies, peanuts, chestnuts, rice cakes, tofu, and brown sugar.
Each one has a very good meaning.
Xu Jinxiu's children ate candy, Zhou Huai'en ate tofu, and the old man of the Xu family ate peanuts, and they all received everyone's blessings.
