Chapter 159 Stocking up for the New Year
Because he went to bed too late, Huang Xinran only ate two meals a day.
When Lu Yunchen came back in the evening, he was naturally greeted by Huang Xinran's pink fist.
It was really a pink fist. If she hadn't restrained the strength in her hand, Lu Yunchen, with his playful and second-rate attitude, would have definitely been beaten to a pulp.
"Ouch, it hurts...are you really willing to do this?"
"Why would I be reluctant to do that? If you dare to do this again, I will tell you how I will deal with you next time, humph!"
Men only remember to eat and not to fight!
If you don't beat them hard enough to hurt them, they won't even know their last names.
"Okay, okay, I've got it all down. But, is it okay if I'm wrong?"
He admitted his mistake quickly, but he made the same mistake again next time.
Why didn't he realize before that Ranran was so cute and adorable, and her every frown and smile could make him fall in love with her.
No wonder there is an anecdote about King Zhou no longer attending the morning court. If he were King Zhou or Daji, he would no longer be willing to attend the morning court.
"Hmph!~"
After getting the guarantee, Huang Xinran finally got back on track and vented his anger.
"Don't think I'm deliberately not letting you... Don't you think about whether your body can handle it? Didn't Doctor Jiang ask you to go back for a follow-up check? Go there someday when you have time, so she won't have to come every few days with excuses."
"No hurry. I know my own body best."
Lu Yunchen didn't care about this matter: "I have to return to the team in the next few days, and I probably won't be able to come back for the New Year. How about taking advantage of these two days to accompany you to the city? Look outside today, if nothing unexpected happens, it will definitely snow tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
"Okay, let's go early tomorrow morning."
Huang Xinran also noticed that the weather was not right and was afraid that it would indeed snow. If the weather was not good, it might snow tomorrow.
Once it snows, the road becomes more difficult to walk on.
As a result, what you fear will come true.
Not long after I went to bed, snow began to fall outside. By midnight, the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and in just a few hours, a thick layer of snow had formed on the ground.
After daybreak, outside the house one could hear the sound of children playing with snow and having snowball fights.
In fact, the snow in H Province didn’t last long, but children always have endless energy to vent. On this cold winter morning, they brought a bit of joy to the quiet family courtyard.
Yaya and Maomao were woken up and got up to go out and play in the snow.
Huang Xinran did not stop them. After all, for children, a childhood would be incomplete without playing in the snow and being beaten.
Not to mention them, even she herself wished she could play in the snow for a while longer.
Look at the snow, it's almost a foot thick. Fortunately, the snow stopped when it was almost dawn, otherwise, the snow would have been even thicker.
He couldn't help but scoop up a handful of snow, and looking at Lu Yunchen who was just returning after sweeping the snow, he rolled his eyes, took a handful and put it behind him, and while calling him, he approached, and when he was not paying attention, he jumped up and put the snowball into his collar.
Lu Yunchen was so frightened that he shuddered all over.
This caused Huang Xinran to burst into laughter!
"Okay, if you dare to do this, watch me..."
Lu Yunchen also bent down and threw a snowball, and Huang Xinran naturally fought back. Soon, Yaya and Maomao also joined the battle...
The family of four fooled around for a while before going into the house to warm up.
"It's not snowing now, so, are we still going into the city today?" Huang Xinran looked at the time. Even though they had been fooling around for a while, it was still snowing and the day would dawn early, so it was only around seven o'clock now.
"Let's go. Although there is snow today, it's clear now. If we wait until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, the snow will only get thicker if it continues to snow."
"Okay! We'll leave after dinner."
"Okay. Just do something to deal with it. I'll go to the political commissar's house and borrow a car to make the trip. It will save us time going back and forth."
It is better to have a car.
Huang Xinran agreed, and soon after, when Lu Yunchen came back from borrowing the car, Huang Xinran had already prepared breakfast for him.
Lu Yunchen also brought back good news: "The troops learned that the family compound was going to purchase a large amount of supplies, so they have sent the logistics department to buy a batch of vegetables. We only need to buy other things. Oh, by the way! There are also several sisters-in-law coming into the city with us. Hurry up, they are already waiting at the intersection."
"Okay, I'll be right there!"
Upon hearing about such a good thing, Huang Xinran quickly rolled up the pancake, one for herself and one for Lu Yunchen, and ate while walking.
As for Yaya and Maomao, they naturally have to ask the neighbors to look after them.
Fortunately, both children are five years old and can take care of themselves, so they don’t need extra care.
Huang Xinran and the other person walked out of the compound quickly. Sure enough, there was a car parked outside the gate. There were already several female comrades in the car. When they saw them coming, they asked them to get in.
A group of people entered the city, talking and laughing, and then dispersed to buy what they needed.
Huang Xinran and Lu Yunchen agreed early in the morning to go shopping first, then mix the money and food coupons together and mail them back to their hometown. After that was done, they would go to buy the supplies needed for the New Year.
As the Chinese New Year was approaching, what should I send back home by mail? Huang Xinran looked around and finally set his sights on red dates. He bought about ten kilograms of red dates, milk candies, and some canned foods that were very popular at the moment. He also mailed some dried seafood to his family. When he saw that everything was almost done, he rushed to the post office.
The post office was very busy during the Chinese New Year, and the two waited in line for a long time before it was their turn. After their mail was sent out, they didn't even have time to eat, and hurried to the department store to buy what they needed.
Fortunately, Huang Xirang had the habit of keeping records, so he had written down everything he needed to buy long ago. Now when he bought something, he was even more accurate.
Even so, when they had almost finished shopping and hurried back to where they had parked the car, they found that everyone else had already returned and was waiting for them.
The two of them couldn't help but apologize again.
Fortunately, everyone was understanding, and after everyone had gathered, the car quickly returned to the family compound.
At the gate of the family compound, just as Lu Yunchen had said before, there were already several large carts of vegetables waiting for people to choose and buy.
Even though he still had some food left, Huang Xinran still ordered a bunch more.
They are all vegetables anyway and the price is not expensive. It is better to have some leftovers to eat until the beginning of spring than to have not enough to eat and go hungry.
So, after buying it, I started moving it around again.
There was an episode during this time. Halfway through their return journey, it started snowing again. When they returned to their home, the heavy snow was still falling.
After buying the vegetables they needed, everyone was busy carrying them home.
But Wang Ping came again with her daughter Wenwen!
It was a very cold day, and the adults and children were freezing in the snow. They bought vegetables but didn't even take them home. They stood in the snow and looked at the people who were carrying vegetables home with a wronged look on their faces. There was no lack of wronged look in their eyes.
But this time, everyone turned a blind eye and no one offered a helping hand.
