Chapter 234 Visiting an Old Acquaintance
The two of them wandered around for about half an hour and then went back. The snow on the ground was indeed a little too thick. It was almost time for dinner, and they had just exercised a little, so they would definitely be able to eat more later. The two of them went home hand in hand.
When we got home, my mother-in-law had already prepared the meal and was waiting for us to come back and eat. "Mom, thank you for your hard work."
Mother Zhao felt a little embarrassed when her daughter-in-law hugged her arm and acted like a spoiled child. What was so hard about it? What she wanted most now was to be together as a family. Although her three older sons were not at home, it was good to know that they were safe. Now she cooked for her older son every day and took care of her grandchildren. She was so happy.
"Go sit in the living room first, the food will be brought over soon."
Tang Yue obediently went to the living room to wait. After all, she was standing here with a big belly, and she didn't want to cause trouble for them, so she just had to take care of herself.
Zhao Shengrui sent his wife to the living room, then went back to the kitchen to help serve the food. There was too much snow on the floor, and he was afraid that his wife would fall, so he hurried back to the kitchen to serve the food after sending her to the living room, to prevent her from going hungry.
Tang Yue sat in the living room waiting for the ready-made food. She entertained the kids before the meal was served. Then the car couldn't stop them, and they all wanted to run out noisily, as if they were not afraid of the cold at all.
After Zhao Shengrui brought all the dishes, the mother-in-law brought over a bowl of egg custard. The babies calmed down after seeing the egg custard. They often ate this food, so they knew it was for them as soon as they saw it. They all sat down obediently, without any intention of making a fuss.
"Wife, eat by yourself, don't worry about them."
"I see. I didn't really care about them. I just played with them for a while."
Tang Yue looked at the food on the table. For some reason, she never had a bad appetite. She would finish a large bowl of food every time. The amount of food her father-in-law and mother-in-law ate combined was not as much as she did.
After finishing the meal, I don’t have to pick up the bowls myself, I can go straight into the bedroom. If I stay here, I really have to lie on the kang and do nothing. It’s too cold outside. If I were alone, I would have eaten sitting on the kang. After that, I won’t hang out outside. If I really want to walk around, I will walk around in the space when no one is around.
I took off my shoes and thick cotton jacket and lay directly in bed. The kang was very warm and I felt very comfortable lying in it.
Just when I was lying comfortably, Zhao Shengrui came in with half a bucket of hot water, "Wife, soak your feet before going to bed. You just walked outside for so long, I'm afraid you'll get a cold. The water should be a little hot, so soaking like this will force the cold out."
"Brother Shengrui, you are so kind. You brought it just what I needed."
Tang Yue thinks Zhao Shengrui is really nice. He knows what you need without you even saying anything.
Zhao Shengrui heard his wife say this and smiled softly, "That's good. I'll treat you better in the future."
"Then I look forward to you treating me better in the future. Come on."
Don't say that soaking feet in this water suggested by others is more comfortable, and I absolutely don't admit that it has any physiological effect.
The water was indeed a bit hot, and sweat began to form on my forehead after I finished soaking. After walking for so long in the afternoon, my feet wouldn't be so tired tomorrow, and I continued walking.
After Tang Yue had tidied herself up, she lay down on the bed and prepared to go to sleep. Seeing that Zhao Shengrui was not going to sleep so soon, she asked, "Aren't you going to sleep so soon?"
"You go to bed first! I'm going to take a bath and watch the baby for a while before I get ready for bed."
I realized after hearing Zhao Shengrui say he wanted to see the kids that I can’t stay at home for much longer. It’s already the eighth day of the first lunar month, and I’ll be going to Beijing on the eleventh. If I don’t see the kids more, I’ll see them next time. I don’t know when that will be!
"Go and have a look! I'm going to sleep now and won't wait for you."
I say this, but I think we will be separated soon, and I am reluctant to let go. Fortunately, everything will be fine after these two years.
Zhao Shengrui kissed her forehead, then left the valve and closed the door behind him.
Tang Yue was still feeling very uncomfortable lying in bed. She had to adapt to all this by herself. She would be fine once she got used to it. Wasn't mother-in-law used to it when she was young? Isn't she used to it now?
Soon there was no time to think about anything else, because she fell asleep in a short while.
The next day, I was woken up by Zhao Shengrui. I thought I still had to go to the Red Flag Brigade, so I quickly got up and washed up. My mother-in-law had already prepared breakfast, so I ate it right away after I finished washing up. I didn't waste any time, and finished my meal quickly, then ran to the house to pack some things to take over.
I took out one pound of each kind of dried food, including dried shrimp, kelp, sea cucumber, and dried abalone. I took out ten packs of cigarettes from the space, took one to give to the captain, and kept the rest for my father-in-law to smoke. As for the wine, I took out some more and gave the extra to my father-in-law, but I couldn't give it to him now. I would bring it back when I went to work and treat it as if I had bought it at work.
It seems that Zhao Shengrui doesn't smoke. I've never seen him smoking, so I guess he doesn't smoke.
After packing up all the things she needed to bring, she asked Zhao Shengrui to carry them, kissed the babies, said goodbye to her parents-in-law, and set off.
Walking on this road again, I felt that time had passed so quickly. It was only a year, but it seemed that things had changed. The only thing that remained unchanged was that the road was still so long.
The team walked for more than two hours from home to see the big tree in the village. It was so lively when the weather was good before, it was simply the source of gossip in the village, not as deserted as it is now. But it was so cold, everyone should be staying at home.
I went to the captain's house first and knocked on the door a few times. Then I heard Aunt Guihua's voice, "Who is it? You're here!"
"Aunt Guihua, yeah, yeah, yeah, Tang Zhiqing!"
Aunt Guihua was about to open the door when she heard a familiar voice outside. She quickly ran a few steps, opened the door, and held Tang Yue's hand, "Really, Miss Tang is back. I wonder if I heard it wrong. It's good that you're back. Are you leaving this time?"
After saying that, he looked Tang Yue up and down. When he saw her big belly, he was very surprised. Seeing such a big belly, it looked like she was five or six months pregnant. It didn't match the time of the previous pregnancy. He wondered what had happened. He quickly took her hand and went into the house to sit down.
Seeing the captain sitting on the kang, he quickly greeted him, "Uncle Captain, it's rare for you to be at home. Why didn't you go out?"
"I haven't seen Tang Zhiqing for a long time. Hurry up and sit on the kang. It must be cold outside after walking all the way."
The captain was very surprised when he saw Tang Zhiqing, but when he saw her big belly, he frowned slightly, but soon regained his composure.
