Lin Lanlan saw her grandmother happily returning from outside.
His eyes were full of happiness as he looked at Lin Lanlan, the fierceness of his usual self gone.
That evening, he told Commander Lin and Lin Lanlan's mother that he wanted to take Lin Lanlan back to her hometown.
For the first time ever, Grandma Lin bought Lin Lanlan a dress today.
After discussing New Year's Eve, Mrs. Lin said that she hadn't been home for a long time and wanted to visit her youngest son's family, planning to stay in her hometown for a while.
Commander Lin knew that his mother probably wanted to take the child back to arrange a marriage for him, or to sell him to someone as a child bride. He wouldn't disobey his mother, so he agreed.
Lin Lanlan's mother remained silent.
It's best to get rid of this money-losing product; at least there will be one less mouth to feed in the family.
When Lin Lanlan heard her grandmother say that she was going to take her back to her hometown, she had already started packing her luggage.
I feel like this is what my sisters meant by being free.
If she dies, she will surely find a better family in her next life.
Tomorrow is Lunar New Year's Eve.
Shen Qiaoyue felt bored being alone, so she ate and sat on the sofa contemplating life.
Suddenly, a photograph appeared in front of me.
Upon closer inspection, it was a man, her husband.
"Lu He, where did this photo come from?" The man in the photo has a buzz cut and looks very young. He appears reserved and tries hard to suppress his nervousness when facing the camera.
Lu He held up the photo and explained, "This photo was sent to Grandma by my brother before. After Grandma passed away, this photo came into my possession."
"This is what my brother looked like when he was sixteen or seventeen. Isn't he handsome?"
"It's beautiful, so beautiful."
So this is what Lu Chen, who was so sullen and withdrawn, looked like when he was a teenager.
They are so cute.
Shen Qiaoyue held the photo, her eyes practically popping out of her head.
"Give me this photo." Shen Qiaoyue took the photo and went to her room.
Lu He watched helplessly as his sister-in-law closed the door to the room!
I know my sister-in-law misses my brother, but that doesn't justify taking away her photos and keeping them to herself!
"Sister-in-law, I only have one photo. Remember to return it to me after you've looked at it!" Lu He said, patting the doorway.
There was no response, because Shen Qiaoyue had no intention of repaying.
This is her man! It turns out he was quite naive in his youth.
Lying in bed, he rolled around excitedly.
In Shen Qiaoyue's eyes, Lu Chen became more and more handsome the more she looked at him.
"Lu Chen, please come back soon, I miss you so much." Shen Qiaoyue held the photo in her arms, praying that Lu Chen would return safely.
After thinking for a moment, she sat up and wrote a letter to Lu Chen to ease her longing.
She talked about the things she had encountered in her dreams these past few days and fantasized about her future with Lu Chen.
Tell Lu Chen that everything is fine at home and that he gets along very well with his sister-in-law.
I've finished writing it and am waiting to send it to him.
Anlude said that he couldn't tell her where Lu Chen was, but she could write to him.
She wrote several pages but still couldn't finish expressing her longing for Lu Chen. As she wrote, a happy smile spread across her face.
Before you knew it, a night had passed.
Lunar New Year's Eve is the last day of the year.
Shen Qiaoyue didn't sleep in. Her sister called and wanted to come over to celebrate New Year's Eve together.
I got up early to chop the filling and make dumplings.
Lu He always gets up earlier than Shen Qiaoyue.
In the past, the family compound would unite to celebrate the New Year together, but this year Wenru did not organize a celebration, and the military also did not have a cultural troupe performance. Everything was very quiet.
Everyone understands what caused the quiet atmosphere!
She made a lot of dumplings and stewed some old hen soup. Not long after noon, Shen Qiaoying came here from home.
"Yueyue, I'm here." Shen Qiaoying brought over the things Shen Qiaoyue bought when she came home last time.
As Shen Qiaoyue walked out the door, looking at all these things, she couldn't help but tease, "Sister, apart from spending two cents on bus fare, you didn't spend a single cent. Are you going to someone else's house for the New Year?"
"What, you can't do this? I'll leave." Shen Qiaoying didn't indulge Shen Qiaoyue at all. "Don't think I don't know. You bought all these things because you like to eat them. Aren't you just waiting for me to come back for you?"
Shen Qiaoyue's little scheme was exposed, and she scratched her head awkwardly.
She bought these gifts when she went back to her parents' home because only her older sister was there, so she bought whatever she liked.
They didn't consider whether others liked it or not; it would just end up back in her hands before it expired anyway.
Lu He came out, looked at Shen Qiaoying, and immediately greeted her, "Hello, big sister."
"Lu He, Happy New Year!" This was the first time Shen Qiaoying had met Lu He.
However, this name had appeared in her mind several times before.
Lu He became reserved around strangers, took the gift from Shen Qiaoying's hand, and then carried it inside.
He poured hot water for Shen Qiaoying and added some brown sugar, which was very precious at this time.
Shen Qiaoyue took off her apron and had just finished lunch when Shen Qiaoying arrived.
"I made your best braised pork knuckle today, sister. I stewed it with peanuts and ribs." Shen Qiaoyue likes to make all sorts of stews.
Shen Qiaoying was surprised to hear that the dinner was quite lavish.
"Looks like it's different. I bought you a pork knuckle!" Shen Qiaoying did like to eat it, but she had never said it. "Are you sure it's me who likes to eat it, and not you?"
In the past, Shen Qiaoyue only got to eat when her parents bought and cooked food for her because she liked it.
"I actually like eating ribs, but I don't like eating pork knuckles. That's because when you were little, you didn't dare tell Mom that you liked them, so I told Mom that I liked them instead," Shen Qiaoyue said to Shen Qiaoying while eating a cookie.
