"Lu Chen, I have to go out tomorrow."
Shen Qiaoyue pressed her hands firmly against Lu Chen's chest.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Just for a little while!"
He removed Shen Qiaoyue's hand and leaned down to kiss her lips.
...
A room filled with ethereal beauty!
Lu Chen had to work half a day today, so he got up early to make breakfast for Shen Qiaoyue before going to the military base.
Making breakfast for Shen Qiaoyue has become a habit.
When Shen Qiaoyue got up in the morning, she saw a charcoal fire in the living room and opened the window of Lu He's room.
This is why Shen Qiaoyue thinks Lu Chen is good; there is charcoal fire in the room, so Shen Qiaoyue doesn't feel cold when she gets up.
After washing up, I went to the kitchen to find something to eat.
Millet porridge, one egg, and two steamed buns.
After finishing her meal, washing the dishes, applying face cream, and putting on her coat, Chen Qiaoyue put it on.
The weather is still gloomy today, so you'll definitely need to bring an umbrella.
"Chen Qiaoyue, are you ready?" She had just finished getting ready when she heard Liu Xinlan calling her.
"They're here!" Shen Qiaoyue hurriedly opened the cabinet to take out the money and coupons, as buying New Year's goods would cost a lot of money.
Take these items and put them in the inside pocket of your clothes.
When Shen Qiaoyue came out of the room, she was dressed smartly, wearing a scarf and hat, and she was shivering from the cold in the rainy winter.
Jiang Jinyao not only wore a hat and scarf, but also had to wear earmuffs, as if afraid that the wind would blow into her body.
Liu Xinlan's outfit consisted of a thermal undershirt, a thermal sweater, and a quilted coat.
He's still wearing cotton shoes; even in this rainy weather, shoes this thick shouldn't get wet.
"Everyone's waiting for you!" Jiang Jinyao was also impatient.
"We'll take the bus today; it's too far to ride a bicycle."
"Okay, let's go." Shen Qiaoyue closed the gate of the courtyard, opened her umbrella, and walked out of the family compound together.
"What are you planning to buy today?" Jiang Jinyao asked the two of them curiously.
Shen Qiaoyue said, "I don't know yet, let's go to the city and take a look first."
"I'll buy Xiangxiang some nice and warm clothes, and some children's toys." Liu Xinlan thought about buying more nice clothes for her daughter. "It's almost Chinese New Year, and everyone likes to wear new clothes. I'll buy myself one, and I'll buy a few for Xiangxiang and her grandparents as well."
Shen Qiaoyue looked at Liu Xinlan, who had become much gentler since getting married and having children.
"Let me tell you, during the time I was separated from Xiangxiang, I missed her every moment. I missed her terribly just looking at the clothes she wore!" Liu Xinlan still feels pain when she thinks about it now. She said, "You have no idea, Xiangxiang was only a few months old. She was asleep when we separated. If she hadn't been asleep, she would have cried so hard!"
Seeing Liu Xinlan so sad, Shen Qiaoyue smiled and teased, "When I called last time, I heard Xiangxiang's voice. She was having a lot of fun. Xiangxiang spends more time with her grandma. She probably wants to stay by her grandma's side more."
Liu Xinlan didn't want to talk to Shen Qiaoyue.
"It's you who can't live without your daughter, not the other way around!" Shen Qiaoyue couldn't help but tease again.
Liu Xinlan sighed helplessly, "I really can't leave Xin's child. That's the child I carried for ten months and gave birth to."
Jiang Jinyao exclaimed, "That's wonderful! I envy you all for having your own children. I wish I could have one too!"
Recently, Jiang Jinyao also wanted a child of her own, so they went to the hospital together again.
Seeing Jiang Jinyao's unhappy expression, Liu Xinlan comforted her, "As long as you take good care of your body, you still have a chance. It's just that your health isn't very good, so you should be careful about having children. An Lude said that he doesn't care whether you can have children or not."
"That's what we say, and that's our current thought, but what if it changes in the future?" Jiang Jinyao didn't distrust An Lude, but she wanted a child to accompany her.
“You see that every military wife in our family compound has given birth, so you want to have one too. Giving birth is very painful, and ten months of pregnancy is even more arduous. Do you really want to?” Although Shen Qiaoyue had already given birth, she saw that Jiang Jinyao’s body did not allow it, and as her sister-in-law, she did not want Jiang Jinyao to take the risk.
Jiang Jinyao frowned and remained silent.
Shen Qiaoyue noticed that Jiang Jinyao's mood hadn't been very good lately.
Liu Xinlan also noticed this.
The two exchanged a glance, then took Jiang Jinyao's hand and walked away together.
"It's important to maintain a happy mood when preparing for pregnancy, so your first priority is to stay happy. Then, you can slowly take care of your body. How about this, you come back to Beijing with us for a while to relax and spend time with us every day. You'll definitely be happy. When you come back, you can take care of your body with An Lude. What do you think?"
Jiang Jinyao was tempted by Shen Qiaoyue's request.
"Is it too late to buy tickets now?" Jiang Jinyao asked.
“It’s easy. Just prepare yourself mentally, and I’ll take you up without a ticket,” Shen Qiaoyue said to Jiang Jinyao with a smile.
"Don't do anything reckless, I'm scared." Jiang Jinyao knew she couldn't even imagine such a thing.
Seeing that Shen Qiaoyue was still keeping her in suspense, Liu Xinlan quickly said, "When Lu Chen bought the ticket, he also bought yours. Later, when he heard that you weren't going back, he was too lazy to return the ticket and just stayed at home."
"Really?" Jiang Jinyao was overjoyed and immediately became excited. "Then let's get everything ready as soon as possible and come back to pack. Why didn't you tell us sooner? What if we're running out of time?"
"How could we be late? We'll probably finish shopping around noon. We'll have lunch in the city and then come back together. Pack your luggage. We'll have to wait for Lu Chen to get off work before we can go to the train station together."
They bought tickets for the 10 PM train. Lu Chen finished get off work at 6 PM, had dinner, and then took the bus to the train station, which only took half an hour.
“Okay, then I’ll buy more useful things to take back to Anlude’s parents.” Jiang Jinyao had hesitated before, wanting to stay and accompany Anlude, but Anlude spent most of his time in the army.
Jiang Jinyao was bored living alone in the family compound. Liu Xinlan and Shen Qiaoyue were both going to Beijing for the Spring Festival. If she went to Beijing, she could be with her family and it would be more lively.
Shen Qiaoyue and Liu Xinlan exchanged another glance. In Jiang Jinyao's heart, she still wanted to go to Beijing with them for the New Year.
After arriving in the city by bus, Shen Qiaoyue and Liu Xinlan bought fun toys and clothes for the children, including festive clothes for the New Year. They also bought extra dried shrimp and fish from Fucheng.
The city was also very lively. The educated youth from the countryside had returned for the Spring Festival, and some of them were having meals or watching movies together in the city.
Photo studios, bookstores, cinemas, and restaurants are the places with the most people.
Shen Qiaoyue and Liu Xinlan carried a lot of things, while Jiang Jinyao went to find something to eat, but many shops required queuing.
"Let's go, there's a state-run restaurant up ahead that doesn't require queuing, let's go eat there." Jiang Jinyao found it and came back after lunchtime to help carry the food over.
