Chapter 210 It’s Chinese New

Year Time flies and it’s Chinese New Year. On this day, Shi’s parents came to the family compound and celebrated the New Year with their daughter’s family.

They didn’t think it was bad to celebrate the New Year at their daughter’s house, and they had to wait until the second day of the New Year for their daughter to return to her parents’ home to reunite.

Lu’s mother was also very welcoming.

In her heart, the New Year should be lively and noisy.

But although she was happy here, she was still thinking about her man at home.

Fortunately, her eldest daughter-in-law was at home, so she didn’t even miss the New Year’s Eve dinner.

After the New Year, she would have to go back on the fourth day of the New Year.

It’s not a long-term solution here. After all, she only took leave from work. She was afraid that people would gossip if the time was too long. Besides, after her daughter-in-law gave birth, she would have to take leave to come and take care of her.

Shi Muhan took her family leave when she brought her parents back, so she hasn’t had a family leave for about two years.

Lu Weiguo had a rare break, so he helped out.

New Year, new atmosphere. Last year on this day, he and his wife went back to their hometown, and even when they saw his parents-in-law, they had to be careful to avoid people. Today

, his wife can finally celebrate the New Year with his parents-in-law openly.

It is easier to get things done with more people. Someone is there to pick, wash, and cut the vegetables. Shi Tingyu also cooked a big dish with great interest.

Maybe it was because the months were getting older, but she felt that she was no longer as unbearable as she was before about the smell of oil smoke.

Although she hadn't cooked for a while, her cooking skills had not deteriorated.

Even Li Jian was busy following them, looking very busy, but no one knew what he was busy with.

Shi Tingyu made a braised pork dish, but Lu's mother didn't let her do it.

"I'm here, you go take a break and chat with your in-laws."

Both Shi's father and mother are not very good at cooking. Lu's mother is also very clear about this and doesn't think that cooking is hard.

Of course, Shi's father and mother are not idle either. They help to clean and choose vegetables.

Lu's mother considers the difference in diet between the north and the south, and even cooks rice and steams steamed buns. She doesn't mind the trouble at all. Shi

Tingyu watched and couldn't help but admire the diligence of people nowadays.

For people nowadays, such days of cooking are not called work, but rest.

Everyone was very happy to eat the New Year's Eve dinner.

It really proves the saying that every year is better than the last.

After dinner, Lu Weiguo handed something to Shi Tingyu mysteriously.

Shi Tingyu looked at the thing in his hand and didn't react for a moment, "What is this?"

Lu Weiguo smiled and said, "Didi Jin, for you to play with."

Shi Tingyu took it in his hand and looked at it. He saw that it was a long, gray thing as thick as wheat straw, and it was soft.

Holding it close, Shi Tingyu could still smell a faint smell of gunpowder, "Is this a firework?"

"Well, two days ago I saw Captain Zhang next door buying some for Damao, so I bought some back."

Shi Tingyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "They bought it for their children to play with, how old am I?"

Lu Weiguo looked at her, his eyes full of tenderness, "If Damao can play, you can play too."

As he said that, he took out a stick and put it on the stove. The gold dots were instantly ignited, and the silver sparks looked extremely brilliant in the dark night.

Lu Weiguo walked to Shi Tingyu's side and handed the gold dots to her.

Shi Tingyu held the end without gunpowder, looking at the gold dots making a hissing sound, with a smile in her eyes.

She waved her hand slowly, and the silver sparks formed a silver halo in the air. Although it was not as gorgeous and shocking as the fireworks shows of later generations, it was also interesting.

Soon the gold drops burned out. This time, Shi Tingyu did not need Lu Weiguo's help. She took out one and lit it on the stove.

Shi Tingyu found that this thing, which was similar to the fairy wand in later generations, would make people addicted.

Before, it was said that this thing was for children to play with, but now she was having fun playing with it.

Shi's father and mother looked at it and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts that their son-in-law was raising their daughter as a child.

Thinking of this, they felt a little guilty. They were busy with work before and had never noticed these little toys to make children happy.

A handful of gold drops were quickly burned out, and Shi Tingyu actually felt a little unsatisfied.

"If you like, I'll buy you more tomorrow."

"No need, just take it off during the New Year."

But is Lu Weiguo someone who gives up so easily? The next day he went to buy her a lot of things.

Enough for her to play for a long time.

The New Year passed in the laughter and joy of the family. Just after the New Year, Lu's mother began to pack up her things. Lu Weiguo bought her a train ticket for the fourth day of the New Year.

Just thinking about going back, the first person to worry was not Shi Tingyu, but Lu's mother. She looked at Shi Tingyu's belly and sighed, "No one cooks for you here, what are you going to do later..."

If she didn't have work, she would have thought of waiting until she finished taking care of her after giving birth.

Shi Tingyu hurried to comfort her.

"Mom, it's okay. I'm past the point where I can't stand the smell of cooking fumes this month. I can take care of myself. Besides, Weiguo comes home to cook every night. Why should I be so timid?"

After hearing this, Lu's mother had no choice but to give up.

On the morning of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Lu Weiguo and Shi Tingyu went to see Lu's mother off.

In the train station, Lu's mother took Shi Tingyu's hand and said, "Xiaoyu, you must keep a good mood when you are pregnant, eat well, sleep well, and walk more. If you have any problems, find Weiguo, and don't be stubborn."

Shi Tingyu nodded.

Mother Lu thought for a moment and said, "Our family has only boys in this generation, so I don't care whether it's a boy or a girl. As long as you give birth to the child, I'll like it. Don't feel pressured. It's better to be a well-behaved girl. I like a girl, so don't feel burdened."

Mother Lu thought that she wouldn't be able to take care of her daughter-in-law after she returned, so she thought about saying something to reassure her.

Nowadays, there are still many people who favor boys over girls. She told her daughter-in-law in advance that this would never happen in their family, so that her daughter-in-law wouldn't have any wild thoughts when she had nothing to do.

Seeing that the time was about to run out, Lu Weiguo hurriedly urged his mother to get in the car.

Mother Lu left reluctantly.

Lu Weiguo glanced at his wife and said, "I've never seen her so reluctant to leave home."

Shi Tingyu glanced at him, "Are you jealous of me?"

Lu Weiguo: ...

He just said that.

After Mother Lu left, Shi Tingyu's life returned to its previous state.

Every day she painted, cooked, and took care of her own vegetable garden. Her life was very fulfilling.

As the weather got warmer day by day, Shi Tingyu's belly got bigger and bigger. At this time, she really realized the hardship of pregnancy.

When the month was small before, her body was not heavy and there was no reaction. Now her body is heavy, and her legs will cramp occasionally. It is inconvenient to bend over and put on shoes. At

this time, she was happy again for choosing the right time to get pregnant.

If Weiguo was still the battalion commander, and if he was often on missions, she might not be able to be so calm alone.

Time passed quickly, and soon it was the end of June, and the due date would be here in a few days.

Lu Weiguo was very anxious these days. He

always woke up from time to time at night.

After waking up, he could feel at ease when he saw his wife was safe and sound.
