In order to welcome Song Qi's official return to Beijing, the Song family specially arranged a very sumptuous dinner.
There are eight hot dishes, four cold dishes, as well as white wine, yellow wine and some southern-style rice wine.
Chen Chun also bought a lot of fruit, including watermelons, cantaloupes, and even tropical fruits like bananas. You have to know that bananas were difficult to get in those days because they were difficult to transport.
Looking at the familiar bottle of Shaoxing rice wine, Ling Ju had some memories rushing to her mind. Without this rice wine, there would be no baby in her belly!
During the dinner, Song Qi also brought Ling Ju some good news, which shocked Ling Ju so much that she was almost speechless.
Ling Yong's transfer order officially came into effect. A week later, Ling Yong finished his training in the southwest and came directly to Kyoto. Yes, he came directly to Kyoto.
Because the former captain of the reconnaissance brigade was about to leave, Ling Yong had to go there to take over and the study time was very tight, so Song Qi packed up Ling Yong's luggage in Liao Province and asked someone to send it back to Ling's home. Of course, he also told Ling's parents the good news.
Ling's parents were also very happy when they received the news. Because Ling Ju's due date was approaching, they decided to come to Kyoto as soon as possible.
"Second brother, this isn't just one piece of good news, it's two pieces of good news!" Chen Chun laughed. She really got along well with Tian Mei! Besides, Tian Mei was easygoing and her cooking was delicious. The two of them could tinker with new things in the kitchen together.
Ling Ju was so happy, "That's great! I didn't expect this at all! I'm really happy for him!"
Everyone at the dinner table was happy for Ling Ju, as she was no longer alone in the Song family.
Song Qiangjun also nodded, his square face showing a big smile, "Juzi, your parents and your brother are all talented people in the army. Even though you are not in the army, you are still a great girl. The Ling family is really outstanding!"
Everyone agreed with Song Qiangjun's words. After all, Ling Ju's abilities had been evident to all. Furthermore, she had a good personality, not spoiled or arrogant, and she didn't act like a spoiled brat.
Moreover, Song Zhiguo had already thoroughly investigated the background of the Ling family. The fact that the Ling couple were veterans and had made military achievements was impeccable, not to mention Ling Yong, who had no background or connections but was able to make a name for himself.
Otherwise, how could he let Song Qi marry any girl he wanted?
The atmosphere at the Song family dinner was very good, mainly because the news Song Qi shared was so explosive that everyone was very excited.
However, Ling Ju also decided that the yard had to be renovated as soon as possible. It would be too late to redecorate it, and it would not be convenient to stay at the Song family until his parents came. It would be best to live directly in the yard.
After dinner in the evening, Ling Ju told Song Qi about this idea, and Song Qi agreed.
She also asked Song Wei and Shen Chun to help with the renovations and furniture purchases, so Ling Ju wasn't too worried. She had plenty of money now, so she could find good furniture.
Because today was a gathering of the Song family, Chen Yun and Qian Yuan took Zhen Zhen and a few other brothers out for dinner, which could be considered a small gathering. Of course, it was also my first date with Zhen Zhen, although there were a few light bulbs.
Because Chen Yun and Zhen Zhen both wanted to eat at Chuan Xiaoxiang, they ended up going to Chuan Xiaoxiang. Unexpectedly, there were too many people, and the private room was already occupied, so the last few people ate in the hall. It was quite a lively experience to be with other tables. It was inevitable that they would smell like red oil.
Zhen Zhen also enjoyed the meal very much, especially the sweet potato skin and sweet potato noodles, which were her favorites. She dipped them in sesame paste and chives, and added a little bit of fermented bean curd and vinegar, and they were extremely fragrant.
Song Qi reported to the team the next day. Since he was new to the team, he could only go home once a week, unless he had a mission.
But this was much better than living in Liao Province. She could see Song Qi most weekends. After this short period, when the yard was repaired, she and Song Qi could move into the yard and enjoy their own world.
Chen Chun was very efficient in cleaning the entire yard, and he hired someone to clean the yard inside and out.
Because Yan Jintang had lived in this courtyard before, there was almost nothing to repair. He only needed to buy appliances, bedding, and sofas. Chen Chun was completely busy.
Ling Ju had no requirements for these, as long as they were similar to those used by the Song family.
In more than three days, most of the furniture and electrical appliances were purchased.
Chen Chun took Ling Ju to the courtyard. Unexpectedly, Chen Chun had rebuilt a pond on the rockery and raised a few goldfish in it.
Flowers and plants are planted on the west wall, giving it a homey feel.
Ling Ju went to see the kitchen and bathroom again. A new toilet was being installed in the bathroom, and there was even a small bathtub. It was just not very exquisite, just a rectangular green tile shape, which looked very old-fashioned.
She quite likes it.
The bed, sofa, dressing table and curtains for the bedroom have all been purchased and are neatly placed in the room.
Ling Ju's heart was instantly filled. In two lifetimes, this was the first house she owned with her own ability.
It’s not that she doesn’t like apartment buildings, but she’s used to living in them and wants to have her own small yard with a few rooms where she can sit in the yard to bask in the sun, enjoy the cool air, drink tea, and have a cat or a dog running around. That’s happiness.
She looked back at Chen Chun, who hadn't had a good rest these past few days because he was busy with her things. "Mom, thank you so much. I didn't expect you to be so well prepared. Now it seems all you need to do is move in!"
Chen Chun smiled faintly, "Why are you saying this? It's my duty. Besides, Song Wei hired the people, so I just helped buy some things. And Song Qi said that everything would be paid for with his money, so I just helped a little."
"It seems I have to thank my elder brother, he really helped me a lot!"
"Second sister-in-law, we are one family and we should keep our differences. You have done a lot for our family. This is mutual."
Ling Ju looked at Song Xin, her pretty face full of smiles. "Yes, I have to thank my sister-in-law! She's always with me and helps me with so many things! She even gets up at night to check on me! She's closer than real sisters!"
Song Xin smiled broadly. "Well, I get up every day to go to the bathroom, and I'll just check on you. It's okay, don't worry about it! Don't worry too much about the yard either. I think even if Aunt Tian and Uncle Ling come tomorrow, they'll be able to move in quickly. They'll just need to wait until the toilet and stove are fixed."
"Yes, no rush. I'll call them today and ask about their arrival time."
"Second sister-in-law, can you ask Uncle Ling to bring some wild game, especially mushrooms and wild vegetables? I'm thinking about it, how come stewed chicken and meat with that stuff tastes so good!"
