Chapter 135 Ice Lantern
After the dumplings were wrapped, the snow outside had covered the ground with a layer of white.
There was no entertainment at the moment, so everyone packed up and went to bed.
Shi Tingyu lay on the bed, feeling infinite emotion in her heart. After tonight, tomorrow will be the real 1976, and she will be one step closer to leaving her parents. There is
still more than half a year before this movement will end.
New Year, new atmosphere, I hope everyone can be healthy and smooth in the new year, Shi Tingyu silently made a wish in her heart.
Early in the morning on the first day of the new year, Lu's mother got up to cook dumplings.
Shi Tingyu was a little greedy for the temperature of the quilt in the morning, so she didn't get up, and
Lu Weiguo brought the dumplings to her.
There was nothing to do on the first day of the new year, and everyone was quite relaxed. Seeing that Shi Tingyu did not leave the house, no one in the family said anything.
Mother Lu even secretly wondered if the two little fairies had a fight last night and her daughter-in-law was tired.
She would not say anything. If they did not fight in bed, when would her grandson come?
After breakfast, Shi Tingyu got up, washed up, and lay back on the bed.
Lu Weiguo found the big teacup at home, and found a cup with a smaller rim than the teacup, and scooped water from the water tank.
Seeing this, Lu Jianguo smiled knowingly.
They were preparing to make ice lanterns, which they knew how to play when they were children.
Put a circle of smaller cups in the big teacup, fill the gap between the teacup and the cups with water, and put some stones in the cups to make them sink but not touch the bottom.
Lu Weiguo evenly distributed a few pine leaves picked nearby in the circle of water and put them on the snow to freeze.
It was almost noon, and Lu Weiguo quietly went to check and found that it was already frozen.
He did not take it back, but continued to freeze it.
After lunch, Lu's father, mother, and Lu Jianguo's family had to go back in the afternoon.
Because they had to go to work tomorrow.
Lu Zhen felt a little disappointed, not only because he had to separate from Li Jian, but also because the ice lantern that his uncle was going to make was not for him.
He was about to leave, and the big teacup was still frozen in the snow.
In the evening, Shi Tingyu and Lu Weiguo were the only ones eating at home. Although there was no liveliness like yesterday, they were still warm. After
dinner, Lu Weiguo asked Shi Tingyu to go to bed quickly, and he quietly took out the teacup from the snow. He
carefully demolded the cup and teacup from the ice with hot water.
A cup-shaped object dotted with green pine leaves appeared in the ice.
Lu Weiguo drilled a hole at the bottom with wire, inserted a piece of candle into the wire and fixed it, and then drilled two holes in the ice with wire, inserted wire and wrapped it with cloth strips to serve as handles.
Use a match to light the candle, the orange flame flickers in the ice lantern, reflecting the green dots beside it, which is very fairy-like.
Similar to this, ice lantern
Lu Weiguo was very satisfied with his work and couldn't wait to take the ice lantern into the room.
On the kang, Shi Tingyu was reading a book. When he heard the noise, he raised his head and saw the lantern in Lu Weiguo's hand.
Lu Weiguo handed the ice lantern to Shi Tingyu: "Wife, this is for you."
Shi Tingyu was surprised, but more delighted, "You made it?"
Lu Weiguo rarely showed a hint of embarrassment, "Well, do you like it? The countryside is not as good as the city, and there are not many things to do during the New Year, so I thought of making a little toy for you to play with."
Shi Tingyu's eyes were filled with stars, and she looked at him with extremely gentle eyes.
This rough man who used to only sweat on the training ground, turned out to be able to make such delicate things.
Not only did he make it, but he also made it very well. In this cold and bleak winter, he actually found green leaves to decorate it.
The ice lanterns are crystal clear, the green leaves are glittering, and the candlelight is bright.
Shi Tingyu felt that this ice lantern was better than countless flowers.
"I like it very much, really, very much!"
Shi Tingyu's tone was full of praise and love. She wanted to repay him with enough emotional value.
Let him know that she could feel what he did for her.
Fearing that the ice lantern would melt indoors, Shi Tingyu put the ice lantern outside and blew out the candle inside.
She hoped that this ice lantern could be preserved as long as possible.
Seeing her cautious look, Lu Weiguo said, "It's okay, I'll make another one for you after you melt it."
Shi Tingyu just shook her head and smiled, "This one is enough."
Because of this romantic gift, Shi Tingyu was particularly passionate tonight, and Lu Weiguo was at his most vigorous. The two seemed to be evenly matched and fought until dawn.
Not surprisingly, the two got up late again.
Perhaps because they were on vacation at home, the two no longer restrained themselves and indulged themselves.
But not long after the two got up, there was a knock on the courtyard door.
Lu Weiguo opened the door and found that it was Xia Jie, whom he met at the educated youth site on New Year's Eve, and there was a tall man standing next to him.
Lu Weiguo also knew that person. He was an orphan in the village named Zhou Yian. He was originally the child of a landlord, but later his family had a series of problems, and he was the only one left. He grew up in the village eating at many families' homes.
Because he was often taken care of by the Lu family, he often helped the Lu family with work.
"Anzi, and Xia Zhiqing, why are you here?" Lu Weiguo asked.
Xia Jie looked at Zhou Yian beside him, knowing that he had a good relationship with the Lu family, he did not avoid it. He said: "I forgot to bring water to work this morning. When I was thirsty, I went to the educated youth camp to get water. Who knew that I saw Bai Qiuyue holding a letter and leaving. I glanced at it and it seemed to be a letter of accusation."
In fact, he did not see it clearly at the time, but he remembered that Bai Qiuyue was asking other educated youth about the Lu family last night. He remembered that Bai Qiuyue wanted to rent a house from the Lu family because this one seemed to have an unpleasant quarrel with the Lu family.
Bai Qiuyue asked for leave this morning, saying that she was going to the county town to send something to her parents.
He always felt that something was wrong. She was going to the county town to send something, but she didn't bring anything, only a letter. Although she put it in her pocket in time, he still saw it.
He still remembers her nervous expression at that time.
It is better to be safe than sorry. Xia Jie has a bit of idol worship for Shi Tingyu, so he came here to remind them.
Zhou Yian beside him looked at Xia Jie in surprise. He came here today because of this matter.
Seeing that Xia Jie had finished speaking, Zhou Yian said, "My wife said that she accidentally heard Bai Zhiqing scolding you. She said that she would report you for your capitalist style, occupying the house and wasting the country's land resources."
At this time, Shi Tingyu also came out and happened to hear Zhou Yian's words.
She said that she had a lot to complain about.
Is Bai Qiuyue mentally ill
? "Can she succeed with such a casual report?"
Lu Weiguo frowned and said, "It's hard to say."
"Now people are halfway there." Zhou Yian reminded.
Lu Weiguo patted his shoulder, "Anzi, thank you."
He looked at Xia Jie again, "And Xia Zhiqing, thank you this time."
Xia Jie waved his hand and said, "Nothing, I just can't stand these villains, well, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Then Xia Jie waved to Shi Tingyu, "Teacher Shi, let's talk next time."
If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, Lu Weiguo would have glared at him.
