The next day, neither of them had to get up early, which was a rare occasion. Lu Siting got up at nine o'clock to cook, while Bai Wei slept until ten o'clock.
The smell of food gradually wafted up, Bai Wei's stomach protested, and then she woke up.
Bai Wei woke up and lay on the bed blankly, regretting that she had promised not to open the store yesterday.
Why do we need to take a holiday? What’s the point of a holiday? It would be better to go back to open a shop and make more money!
Bai Wei decided that when she went downstairs to eat, she would tell Lu Siting that she wanted to continue to make money.
Bai Wei struggled on the bed for a while, finally broke away from the warmth of the quilt, and got up to wash.
On the first day of the new year, Lu Siting prepared a sumptuous breakfast, which Bai Wei ate with relish.
Soon they were almost done eating, and Bai Wei said, "Actually, with so much money to make during the Chinese New Year, I think it would be better for me to open a store."
Open a store?
Didn’t we get along fine last night? Why do you want to open a shop now?
Lu Siting looked at Bai Wei, and seeing that she was becoming more and more guilty, he chuckled twice.
Bai Wei is usually so busy, and she runs her own shop, so she can almost be said to be busy all year round. Now that both of them have finally had a break, how could Lu Siting miss such a good opportunity.
He took out a red envelope from behind and handed it over, saying, "Your New Year's red envelope, I forgot to give it to you yesterday."
Bai Wei didn't expect that she would receive a red envelope, and she accepted it with surprise.
Lu Siting added: "This is our first Chinese New Year. Look, it's snowing outside. Why don't we stay at home for a few days and then go visit friends after that."
Bai Wei thought about it and felt that what Lu Siting said made sense, and he shouldn't be the same every night as the previous one, so she agreed.
Lu Siting seemed to have endless energy. During the day, the two of them cooked delicious food at home. When it snowed heavily outside, they made snowmen in the yard. Lu Siting definitely used much more energy than Bai Wei.
At night, just when Bai Wei wanted to have a good sleep, she was woken up by the energetic Lu Siting to do some other exercises.
Bai Wei knew that he was physically strong, but she didn't know he was so strong.
For two consecutive nights, two whole nights, and several hours, Bai Wei was really exhausted.
She shouldn't have believed Lu Siting's words about taking a vacation during the day, Bai Wei thought drowsily, and then fell asleep.
The next day, Bai Wei got up, rubbing her waist, and said seriously, "Lu Siting, it's New Year's Day, I want to have a good rest, so you have to be more restrained."
Lu Siting nodded and agreed.
That night, Bai Wei slept soundly.
However, Lu Siting only restrained himself for one night. The next night, he returned to his old ways and dragged Bai Wei along, not going to bed until two in the morning.
Bai Wei bit Lu Siting's shoulder in the middle of the night. She had already decided in her heart that next time during the Chinese New Year, she would work overtime in the store for a few days. She absolutely did not want to take such a long vacation at home again.
The two of them ate, drank and had fun at home. After the third and fourth days of the New Year, everyone started visiting relatives.
During the New Year holidays, most people rest at home, and those in the military district are no exception.
In addition to those positions that need to be manned throughout the year, there are also positions that require on-duty shifts, and everyone is at home.
Many soldiers’ families live in the military compound, so during the Chinese New Year, everyone celebrates the New Year in the military compound and few people go back to their hometowns.
Bai Wei went out occasionally these two days and could hear laughter and joy outside, as if many people were visiting each other.
Ever since she got married and moved here, she has been doing business outside and has almost no social interaction with the soldiers and their wives in the compound.
The only time they communicated more was when the military wives went to her store to buy things. They chatted together and became more familiar with each other.
Lu Siting can be said to have grown up here and stayed here for many years. His family and friends are here, and he has a deep bond with them. Bai Wei also wants to learn more about them.
So, on the fifth day of the New Year, Bai Wei took Lu Siting to buy a lot of fruits and prepared to visit the people living nearby.
Apples, bananas, oranges.
Pear, grapefruit, loquat.
He directly filled up the trunk of Lu Siting’s car.
Bai Wei asked the store owner to bring a lot of bags and then pack the fruits in the boxes separately.
When I returned to the military area, I would visit the nearest family to wish them a happy new year.
The people here were very polite. When they saw Bai Wei and Lu Siting coming to pay New Year's greetings, they all invited them in to sit down.
But there were too many people who wanted to pay New Year's greetings, so Bai Wei could only decline and said she had to go to the next house.
It's not nice to just accept gifts, and the gifts are such fresh fruits. You know, buying fresh fruits in winter is much more expensive than in summer.
Those who received the fruits hurriedly went inside to get some food, such as dried fruits, melon seeds, candies, biscuits and other snacks, as a token of their appreciation, and gave them back to the young couple.
Zhong Lin and his wife were also at home, so they also received such a portion of fruit.
Mrs. Zhong pulled Bai Wei aside and said, "We're going to make dumplings in a couple of days. If you and Captain Lu are at home, come and eat with us!"
Bai Wei and Mrs. Zhong were relatively familiar with each other. She was the first one to go to the jewelry store to buy things, and the second time she brought other military wives to patronize the store. Bai Wei's store quickly became famous in the military region, one reason was because of Lu Siying, and the other was because of the help of Mrs. Zhong.
Before, because of work, Bai Wei didn’t have much time. Now that she is on vacation, she also wants to contact them more.
"Okay." Bai Wei agreed readily.
By the time all the fruits were delivered, a whole morning had passed.
Seeing that nothing was wrong, Lu Siting prepared to take Bai Wei to buy groceries.
Before the Chinese New Year, Bai Wei was extremely busy and Lu Siting forgot to buy more vegetables. He only bought some New Year's goods. After a few days, the vegetables at home were almost gone.
If relatives or friends come to visit one day and you need to buy groceries on the spur of the moment, it may be too late.
The vegetable market has opened, and there are quite a few people selling vegetables, half of the usual number. Lu Siting parked the car outside and went to buy vegetables with Bai Wei.
I bought potatoes, carrots, broccoli, cabbage and tomatoes.
They also bought a lot of meat, some chicken, duck, fish, eggs and flour. Seeing that they bought a lot, Lu Siting put some of them in the car first.
Bai Wei bought some of each vegetable, but she didn't buy too much to stockpile.
During the Chinese New Year, the prices of many things increased, even vegetables. Bai Wei didn't realize it when she heard the price until Lu Siting told her the usual prices for vegetables. Bai Wei then held down Lu Siting's hand as he was about to pay.
“Buy less!”
So they bought many kinds of vegetables, but not much of each.
The two were getting ready to leave. Standing at the entrance of the vegetable market, Bai Wei was waiting for Lu Siting to drive over. Suddenly, a girl opposite caught her attention.
