Chapter 485: Reunion Dinner on the Third Day of the Lunar New Year
Lin Qingqing and her family arrived at the military compound at 3:30.
The entire Song family was waiting in the living room. They had no appetite for lunch and kept the door open in the freezing weather, fearing that if they closed it they wouldn't be able to hear the car's sound immediately.
They were all worried that Lin Qingqing would be in danger with her big belly. The spies from Country R were not pushovers.
Just as Grandma Song was muttering about why no one had arrived yet, Song Yunhai, who was sitting outside, heard the sound of a car. He ran out to see that it was indeed Lin Qingqing and the others who had arrived. He happily shouted into the house, "They're here, they're all here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Grandma Song ran out of the house, and Song Yunhai was so scared that he quickly reached out and grabbed her.
"Grandma, be careful, your feet will slip. I'll hold you up."
He hugged Grandma Song's shoulders tightly and walked down the stairs, just in time to meet Lin Qingqing who had just got off the car.
"Grandma." Lin Qingqing called out with a smile.
Grandma Song wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief. She held Lin Qingqing's hand and said, "It's really hard for you. You have to run around while pregnant. It's so dangerous. Fortunately, it didn't happen. Fortunately, it didn't happen."
At this time, the Song family also came out of the house.
Song Li also shed tears of joy. She said, "Mom, it's too cold outside. Let's go inside and talk."
Lin Qingqing quickly turned around and helped Grandma Song into the house.
The Song family was filled with joy, and there was constant laughter in the new house.
The Lin brothers who went out the day before New Year's Eve finally came back four days later. Fortunately, they escaped without any harm.
The Lin brothers said the same thing: the avalanche road was blocked and the troops had to shovel the snow, which allowed them to get out.
Lin Baojun also took out a hundred yuan and said it was his reward for this trip.
These are what Lin Qingqing taught the Lin brothers to say. She didn't want to make her family worry too much during the New Year.
Military district compound.
Wu Fangnian heated up the food he had prepared for lunch, and the family started eating.
Lin Qingqing only then realized that the Song family was so worried about her that they didn't even have lunch.
Seeing Grandma Song, Father Song and Song Yu desperately trying to get food for her, she said, "Mom and Dad, I can't eat that much. Director Li said that the later in pregnancy, the less I should eat."
After she finished speaking, the Song family stopped picking up the food. Song Li asked her tentatively, "Qingqing, since you're here and your due date is still three months away, why don't you join the army?"
Lin Qingqing had the same idea.
This time she came here by helicopter, and Lin Li also came with her. It would be inconvenient to ask the army to send her family there again by helicopter.
She nodded and looked at the Song family members and said, "I'm not going to the army anymore. Director Li said I'm having my fourth child and I could be expecting anytime after eight months."
In fact, this was her own judgment.
Grandma Song was both happy and worried. She asked, "Did Director Li say what to do then?"
Lin Qingqing shook her head: "You can only see it when the time comes."
Grandpa Song put down his chopsticks and said, "Qingqing has been tired all day today. Stop asking her questions and let her have a good rest. We can talk about it tomorrow if there is anything."
Grandma Song nodded happily. She was no longer in the army and had plenty of time.
Song Qi looked at Lin Qingqing and said, "Tomorrow is the third day of the Lunar New Year. Let's ask our in-laws to come to the military compound and have a reunion dinner with our two families."
Grandma Song clapped her hands: "Okay, okay, the New Year should be lively and festive. I haven't seen Jiumao for a while. Yiyuan, after dinner, go talk to your in-laws about this."
Seeing his family happy, Song Yiyuan was also happy: "Okay."
Wu Fangnian smiled and said to Zhou Yingying, "Sister-in-law, let's go out to buy groceries early tomorrow morning."
Zhou Yingying smiled: "Okay."
Song Chengyu asked Lin Qingqing: "Will Damao come over tomorrow too?"
Seeing his expectant look, Lin Qingqing nodded, "Da Mao even brought you some fun stuff from the army."
Song Chengyu smiled with his teeth showing. He said happily, "Mom, after dinner I'll finish my homework and go to bed. I'll be able to see Damao tomorrow when I wake up."
"Okay." Zhou Yingying touched his head and responded softly.
Lin Qingqing ran around today and was a little tired, so she went to bed at around 8 o'clock.
…
The Lin family arrived at nine o'clock the next day.
It is inevitable for two families to exchange greetings when they meet.
Father Lin hadn't seen Lin Qingqing for half a year, and he was worried about the safety of her baby. He caught Lin Qingqing and asked her a lot about the baby, but Lin Qingqing interrupted him with a roll of her eyes: "You asked me this many times at home, and now you ask me again? I'm tired of hearing it even if you don't."
Song's father tried to smooth things over: "It's normal for the in-laws to be worried. We are worried about you every day."
Grandma Song and Grandpa Song took out a stack of red envelopes and gave one to each of the Lin family children. Lin Lin opened the red envelopes and took a look. They all contained five yuan.
Nine kids only cost forty-five dollars.
I also prepared a red envelope, but it only has one dollar in it.
This is embarrassing.
Before she gave out the red envelope, Song's father and Song Li took out another stack of red envelopes, each containing five yuan.
this……
Lin Qi quickly found his sons and daughters-in-law and asked them to take out the money they had. There were only four children in the Song family, and a red envelope had to contain ten yuan.
Zhou Yingying saw that there were ten yuan scattered in the red envelope, so she told Song Li about it.
Song Li found Lin Li alone and said, "My dear, you are very generous to put ten yuan in this red envelope. You don't have to be so polite in the future. You have just arrived in Kyoto and you have many other places to spend money."
She didn't directly mention the huge disparity in financial situation between the two families. She knew her in-laws didn't want to be looked down upon by such insulting words.
But when she said this, Lin Li understood the deeper meaning behind it, which was that she wanted them to not be so formal.
Their family is not well-off, so it is indeed difficult for them to compare with the Song family every time.
"Well, isn't this the first year?" Lin Li smiled.
During the meal, Lin Qingqing said that she would stay in the new house at night.
Although Grandma Song looked a little disappointed, she smiled and said, "Go ahead. You'll be more comfortable in the new house with a yard. Ask your brother to sweep the snow in the yard. I'll go and live with you for a while."
Grandpa Song quickly said, "It's okay if you live alone, so I'll go with you. It also means we can send more soldiers to protect Qingqing."
Lin Qingqing: “…”
I have my own army.
Lin Li smiled and said, "Then I'll go there this afternoon and clean up the house and the study as well."
Jiang Haixia, who was eating: "..."
Can I have room to speak?
