After eating Laba porridge, Lu Lin and Jiang Manyue hosted a welcoming banquet, and Brother Cheng hosted a celebratory banquet. It was time to return home.
The wedding date of Jiang Jiantao, the fifth son of the Jiang family, was set for the 13th day of the 12th lunar month. Jiang Manyue and his family boarded the train home early in the morning on the 10th day of the 12th lunar month.
This time with Lu Lin by her side, Jiang Manyue felt more relaxed when shopping and didn't worry about not being able to carry the things.
Lu Jun'an was still the same as usual, bringing the most popular cakes and toys in Yunzhou to his friends.
It’s such a long holiday during the Chinese New Year. It makes me happy just thinking about playing with toys and eating cakes with my friends.
Jiang Manyue brought a bunch of out-of-season clothes for her family, including shirts, pants, etc.
The first reason is that spring and summer clothes are light and thin, so you can bring more pieces back. The second reason is that the winter in their hometown is not long, and it will be warm after the Chinese New Year. Winter clothes can only be worn for a few days and are very heavy to carry. It is better to bring spring and summer clothes, which can be worn within two months.
Because it was the fifth brother who was getting married this time, Jiang Manyue specially prepared a gift for him and his new sister-in-law.
She prepared a set of high-quality quilt covers in bright red with a wedding character embroidered on it, which looked very festive.
Apart from that, there was only a thermos, but she planned to buy it at the county department store as it would be too troublesome to carry it around.
This is basically how gifts are given these days. It's good enough if it's thoughtful. Besides, these two things are already very impressive.
As for her husband's family, Lu Lin and Jiang Manyue had discussed not bringing any extravagant gifts. When they got home, they would look for anything worn out or broken that needed to be replaced and replace them all at once, so that the two old people wouldn't be reluctant to replace things to save money.
After two days of driving, the family of three finally arrived at the county railway station.
After rushing to the department store to buy a thermos, they hurried home.
Long before leaving, Lu Lin had sent a telegram home. Li Guifen and Lu Qingyou were waiting at the brigade gate at that moment.
"Alin! Full moon! Over here!"
Lu Jun'an was still carrying his luggage in his hands. When he saw his grandparents, he didn't care about anything else. He ran to them, threw his luggage to the ground, and threw himself into their arms.
"Grandpa and grandma, I miss you so much!"
The old couple caught their grandson and felt that he had grown taller and stronger. They were extremely pleased.
"Grandpa and grandma miss you too and look forward to your return every day."
Lu Lin and Jiang Manyue also walked up to the old couple. Looking at the loving couple, Li Guifen felt even more satisfied with her original choice.
Fortunately, A-lin and Man-yue did not get divorced. Look how well-matched this couple is. Maybe they will have a grandson soon.
"Hurry, hurry, go home! I killed a chicken this morning and have been stewing it all day. I've tasted it and it's sure to be delicious this time!"
After saying that, Li Guifen took her grandson home. Jiang Manyue and Lu Lin both laughed and followed them home.
After returning home, Jiang Manyue and Lu Lin paid attention to whether there was anything in the house that needed to be replaced. They also asked Lu Jun'an to pay attention when he slept with his grandparents at night, and write down the worn-out items and tell them when the time comes so that they can buy them and replace them.
As soon as Li Guifen got home, she started taking care of her pot of chicken soup. She tasted it again out of concern before serving it on the table.
"Come and eat! This chicken is so delicious! It's so delicious!"
Having been away from home for so long, Lu Lin and Jiang Manyue would never complain about Li Guifen's cooking. Even Lu Junan ate with relish.
When he was at home, he thought his grandma’s cooking was unpalatable, but he really missed it after not eating it for a long time.
Li Guifen was very happy to see them eating so happily, and the whole family finished the dinner happily.
After dinner, Lu Lin took the initiative to wash the dishes, leaving his wife to talk to her mother and tell her more about the army.
Li Guifen saw her son washing dishes and ignored him. Lu Qingyou happened to be playing with his grandson in the yard, so she pulled Jiang Manyue over and started asking him.
"Manyue, are you two going to sleep in the same room tonight?"
Li Guifen is very concerned about whether Lu Lin and Jiang Manyue sleep together, as this is related to when she can hold her little grandson.
Jiang Manyue was still embarrassed by her mother-in-law's question, but she answered honestly, "There are only two bedrooms at home. Jun'an is so big, he must sleep in one alone. Lu Lin and I will sleep in the other one."
Li Guifen nodded in relief, then thought of another question, "Your house only has two rooms. How will you have enough room for your child when you have one?"
When Jiang Manyue heard this question, she was also stunned. She had never thought about this question before.
However, most of the families in the compound have similar house types. Many people live in a two-bedroom, one-living room apartment with their entire family. There is no way around the small space, so they just squeeze in.
If there are too many children to sleep together, they can sleep in bunk beds and hang a curtain to create their own private space.
"Mom, the house in the military compound is so small. When we have a child, we can think of a way. When the child is young, he can live with us. When he grows up, if it's a boy, he can live in the same room with Jun'an. If it's a girl, we can separate a small room for him. Other families do this."
Li Guifen sighed after hearing this. "This military compound is nice, but the house is too small. If I have more children in the future, there won't be enough space for them."
Jiang Manyue smiled when she heard this, "Mom, this is all uncertain. What if conditions improve in the future and we can get a bigger house?"
There was another possibility that she hadn't mentioned yet, which was what if she and Lu Lin didn't have so many children, wouldn't there be enough space to live there?
Li Guifen thought about it and agreed. Now they haven't had their first child yet. When they have too many children and their house can't accommodate them anymore, there will always be a way to solve the problem. Maybe they can get a bigger house by then?
Their lives were so hard before, but they still found a way to support themselves after giving birth to a child. Now Lu Lin and his wife have an easy life and don’t have to worry about anything else. They will find a way after giving birth to a child.
"That's true. As the old saying goes, things will work out in time. If the child is born, there will definitely be a place to live, so you don't have to worry about that. The most important thing now is that you and Lu Lin live a good life and get pregnant soon. Then your mother and I will be relieved."
Jiang Manyue smiled and said, "Mom, this is all a matter of nature. Lu Lin and I are also working hard. When the baby will come, it all depends on fate."
Li Guifen heard what she meant and thought that she also wanted a child. She was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. "Yes, yes, let nature take its course. The child will come when it is time to come. You can't stop it."
Jiang Manyue was also looking forward to having a child with Lu Lin, thinking that since Lu Lin worked so hard, it was time for God to let him have a child, right?
