After coming back from the city, Aunt Tong smiled more than usual.
Not only did he tell his son Tong Dazhu about his experiences over the past few days at night, but he also mentioned these things when he took Congcong out to talk with other military families during the day.
Aunt Tong came from the countryside, and all the military families knew her. Some of them were even like her, having joined the army and gained a lot of experience in the city.
I can empathize with her joy.
Of course, they also praised Linglong for her filial piety.
"Aunt, having a niece like Linglong is no worse than having a biological daughter."
"Of course, Linglong is so nice." Aunt Tong looked proud.
Congcong now knows that Linglong is his mother's name. He also nods his head when he knows his grandmother is praising his mother. "Hello, Mom."
"Oh, this child is so cute. I want to take him home." An aunt who has no grandchildren was extremely envious.
Knowing that this person might really do such a thing, Aunt Tong quickly emphasized, "That's not right. Our Linglong is going to adopt Congcong. From now on, Congcong will be her son."
If she took Congcong to someone else's house, Linglong would be heartbroken, and she would not be able to face Linglong at that time.
Seeing her protecting her child, everyone laughed.
"When did your Linglong follow Captain Zheng to meet her future in-laws?"
"That's not something I can say for sure. It depends on when Captain Zheng is free."
"Captain Zheng is right. Linglong is such a good girl, but he's not in a hurry to marry her."
"Who knows if he's anxious or not? Maybe he's anxious inside."
"Oh, you said that Captain Zheng and Linglong are both beautiful. If they have a child in the future, it will definitely look no worse than Congcong, right?"
"Who knows?"
A group of people were laughing and talking about gossip about other people.
Aunt Tong gradually regained some of the feelings she had when she was in the countryside.
Apart from not having land and not having to work to earn work points, she felt that everything else was not much different from the countryside.
She was able to adapt to the life with the army, and Tong Dazhu, her son, was extremely happy.
For example, if Linglong and Congcong were present in the family, Tong Dazhu would feel that her mother would be in a much better mood.
Aunt Tong is busy cooking, doing housework and helping to take care of the children every day, and she feels indescribably satisfied.
In fact, many elderly people are like this. Once they have some free time, they feel empty inside and nothing can make them happy. There is always something to do in Huabei every day.
Zheng Tiansen locked the watch he bought in the drawer of his dormitory, waiting to give Linglong a surprise on her birthday.
This time, before they came into the city, they still did not forget to go to the Public Security Bureau.
But still the same, no progress.
Zheng Tiansen felt that now it was just a matter of time, as his marriage to Linglong was basically a done deal.
Linglong thought that after asking questions at the Public Security Bureau this time, Zheng Tiansen would mention the marriage again, but Zheng Tiansen still didn't mention it.
Until now, she couldn't help but feel anxious.
She even started to have wild thoughts, wondering if it was because time had passed that Brother Zheng had regretted marrying her and raising Congcong together.
But judging by how much Brother Zheng cares about Congcong, it doesn’t seem like that.
Because I was the one who refused and said I would wait, but now she is anxious and has all sorts of thoughts.
Linglong wondered why she was so pretentious and was too embarrassed to tell anyone what she was thinking.
Even when she saw Zheng Tiansen again, she felt a little uncomfortable.
Fortunately, she concealed it well and Zheng Tiansen didn't notice it.
I don't know if the discussion of several military families that day was passed on to their families, and Political Commissar Hao also knew about it.
After meeting with Zheng Tiansen to discuss official business, Political Commissar Hao began to speak.
"Tiansen, you haven't been home for the New Year. You and Linglong have been dating for a while now. If you can get married, you should get married sooner. Use your annual home leave and take Linglong home to meet your parents. I'm here with the group, so it won't be a problem if you're gone for a few days."
"I'll discuss this with Linglong after I meet her."
"As a man, be more decisive."
"I understand, Comrade Lao Hao."
However, Zheng Tiansen still didn't plan to say it right away, wanting to wait until Linglong celebrated her first birthday in the army.
He didn't know how Linglong had spent her previous birthdays. Thinking about the personalities of the Liu family members, he felt that Linglong's previous birthdays at the Liu family might not have been happy.
So, he must give her a good experience.
Of course, there were some things he planned to tell Linglong after her birthday.
Among the newcomers in the kitchen team, the quartermaster pointed out a guy with some talent and asked Linglong to teach him how to cook.
The soldier, who was two years older than Linglong, now respectfully called Linglong "Master".
Linglong was quite embarrassed and wanted to say that there was no need to do so, but Sister Niu persuaded her to just accept it. If this happened outside, any chef in any state-owned restaurant or public institution who had some skills would only teach his apprentices after they had become his apprentices.
Linglong didn't want to be a master one day, so after accepting the offer, she took the matter seriously.
Since people call her Master, she must do her job conscientiously.
Because of this incident, she no longer had the energy to think about getting married.
During the day, she works hard in the cafeteria and teaches her apprentices. At night, she goes home to spend time with Congcong and reads and studies. Linglong's life is becoming more and more fulfilling.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day before her birthday.
Linglong always felt that Aunt Tong and Brother Tong had been acting mysteriously in the past two days, as if they were hiding something from her.
She also happened to see the two of them talking once, and when they saw her coming, they stopped immediately.
She felt very strange, but she was too embarrassed to get to the bottom of it.
She slept with doubts, and the next day she received letters from Hao Chunlei and Li Jie. She was so happy.
It has been a month since the two left.
She looked forward to hearing from her friends every day, and now she finally got some news.
Perhaps it was because they were too busy with training when they first settled down in the army, so Hao Chunlei and Li Jie only found time to write to her. It was also a coincidence that the letters arrived in the city at the same time, and the postman delivered them to the army together.
In her letter, Hao Chunlei described the various setbacks she encountered when she first arrived at the army. No matter what the matter was, she could make it very interesting, and Linglong couldn't stop smiling when she read it.
When I saw Li Jie's letter, I found that she spent a lot of time describing how bad the food was there and how much she missed Linglong's cooking.
It's really a foodie nature.
Linglong immediately decided to make some pickles and send them to her two friends as a side dish.
As soon as she got off work, she rushed home to write a letter, but as soon as she entered the house, she was shocked.
