The Chinese New Year is here in a blink of an eye.
Meng Sining also had a ten-day vacation.
I will celebrate the New Year with my parents-in-law this year.
I packed some clothes early.
There are also New Year gifts for everyone.
Oranges and apples grown in the space.
There are also brown sugar and vermicelli.
Packaged into three portions.
I took little brother Lin, a cat and a rabbit back to the compound.
When the two arrived, the mother-in-law had not yet finished get off work.
Meng Sining first called his aunt and asked about the situation at home.
"Your uncle and I have already taken leave. Tomorrow, we will take Yimeng to the island to visit your cousin."
"Oh, auntie, be careful on the road. Remember to call me when you get there."
"Okay, are you doing okay over there?"
"It's fine. My parents-in-law treat me very well."
"That puts my mind at ease."
After hanging up the phone with her aunt, Meng Si Ning called Lu Cheng again.
After a moment, a deep and familiar voice appeared in the microphone: "Si Ning."
"Yes, it's me."
"Is it vacation?"
"I just got a ten-day holiday today, it's a pity I don't have time to go over and be with you.
Have you been training intensely lately?"
"It's okay. It's the end of the year, so there are a lot of activities. But, you called just in time. I have a mission later."
"Another mission, where are we going this time?"
After waiting for Lu Cheng's answer for a long time, Meng Si Ning felt a little disappointed, but also understood: "I can't tell you."
"Sorry, family members are not allowed either."
"Well, I know. You have to be careful then. You must pay attention to safety. When you get to the team, you must call to report that you are safe as soon as possible, okay?"
"Got it, wife."
This made Meng Si Ning laugh: "Yeah."
Phone calls are always so short.
Sometimes she regretted joining the translation department so that she could go with the army.
But she was reluctant to leave the translation department.
In life, you can't have everything you want.
When my mother-in-law came back, she had already settled the house.
Xiaobai was put into the cage, and the cat nestled in the corridor. Meng Sining even made a cat bed for it.
Now she can use the sewing machine and can make some small things, but the needle and thread tend to get twisted easily.
Today is a family gathering.
My second brother and his wife, and my younger sister and her husband are all here.
Meng Sining gave them the things he had prepared in advance.
"Sister-in-law, these fruits and brown sugar are hard to come by, right? Which supply and marketing cooperative did you buy them from?"
“I bought the apples from a nearby supply and marketing cooperative, and I happened to see them that day.
The oranges are sold door-to-door in the countryside.
I bought it secretly.
The brown sugar was mailed from Xinliang. It was produced by the sugar factory in the commune of a friend of mine.
Lu Tang raised his eyebrows: "Sugar factory, sister-in-law, can you get a lot of sugar?"
When Meng Si Ning heard this, she felt that she was going to attract business for her best friend, so she nodded.
"Great, can you get 500 kilograms, straight from the factory? What's your price?"
Lu Tang is in the logistics department of the team here, and is responsible for purchasing daily necessities.
"She charges 90 cents a pound to her acquaintances. I can call you and ask."
"OK."
Tao Jie looked at the brown sugar and sniffed it: "This sugar is good. And it comes with roses?"
"Well, they grow roses specifically in their village. They are good for beauty and skin care, so they have a selling point."
Tao Jie said: "Zhitian, you can drink more, it's good for your health."
"Okay, Mom, sister-in-law, thank you so much.
I'm not very busy these days, so I'll go shopping with you."
"Just mind your own business and don't worry about me."
"It's okay anyway. Just think of it as my sister-in-law accompanying me."
Brother Lin had lived here for a month before. Tao Jie was afraid that he would feel restrained, so she took him to visit her second daughter-in-law's house.
Sun Zhitian's eldest nephew was of the same age as him and they could play together. He met two friends in the compound.
I don’t feel bored at all.
The next day I started playing with the other kids.
But in the afternoon, I must study English.
When Lin Zhitian came over, she was amazed to see Lin Xiaodi reciting English fluently.
"People brought up by the translator are different. Siyun will be amazing when he grows up. Sister-in-law, let's go."
"good."
"Let Siyun go."
"Second sister-in-law, I'm not going. I have an appointment with Sun Hao to go ice skating later."
"Then be careful and don't fight with others."
"Know."
Before leaving, Meng Si Ning gave him five dollars and a few tickets, and told him, "Don't play outside for too long, and don't talk to strangers."
"I understand, sis."
She went to the department store with Sun Zhitian.
Shop for food and clothes.
Meng Si Ning took a fancy to a cotton coat and bought a set of clothes for Lin Xiaodi to wear for the New Year.
I bought a set of fleece sweaters for my parents-in-law.
Sun Zhitian bought a pair of cotton shoes for each person.
...their daughter-in-law bought them so many things.
Tao Jie said that they were wasteful, but the smile on her face betrayed her.
At night, I went back to my room, put on the new clothes, and took pictures again and again: "You know what, it fits me well."
Lu Zhanting said, "Aren't you going to say they're wasting money?"
"It's a bit of a waste of money. When you give out red envelopes, give more."
"They are filial to me, so I should repay them?"
"Why do you earn so much money? If you don't give it to them, you want to keep it for yourself to buy a coffin?"
"That's what I said."
"Hey, Old Lu, your Lu family has a bad relationship with your descendants in your son's generation."
