The children and the little soldiers were playing outside, and would have forgotten to come back if the adults hadn't called them to eat dumplings.
There are a lot of people, so after one pot of dumplings is ready, they cook the next one.
No one started eating yet, waiting for Zheng Baozhu to put the last bowl of dumplings into the bowl before starting to eat.
Song Zhiting used to live alone and didn’t necessarily come back home every day, so his house had no home appliances.
Zheng Baozhu said: "Let's buy a TV after the New Year, so that we can watch the Spring Festival Gala at home after eating dumplings."
Song Zhiting waved his hand and said, "Buy it!"
Song Sicheng cheered and the soldiers were also happy.
…
Political Commissar Qiu has a TV at home, and Ding Peizhi invites Zheng Baozhu to come home to watch TV.
Political Commissar Qiu called Song Zhiting aside, first praised Zheng Baozhu, and then said to Song Zhiting earnestly: "You have a family now, so don't put money into it anymore. Take care of your own family first. It's a good thing that Zheng understands the big picture. If it were any other daughter-in-law, she would definitely divorce you."
Song Zhiting said with a smile: "Political Commissar, you are right. She really wants to divorce me."
"Nonsense! If she really wanted to divorce you, she wouldn't have made dumplings for the soldiers. Xiao Zheng is the most generous girl I've ever seen. You can't find her even with a lantern. You're really lucky!"
Political Commissar Qiu pulled Song Zhiting aside, not letting him watch TV, and insisted on teaching him some tricks on how to coax his wife.
…
1986, New Year’s Day.
The soldiers in the camp came to wish a happy new year.
Song Zhiting opened the gate and told them to go back and come back later.
Because Zheng Baozhu and Song Sicheng watched the Spring Festival Gala last night and haven't gotten up yet.
The military wives in the family compound were extremely envious.
They got up early to prepare breakfast, but Zheng Baozhu hadn't gotten up yet.
The key is that Song Zhiting still condones it.
It's true that people have different fates.
If it were in the past, Zhao Li would definitely not be able to hold back and would have been sarcastic.
Threatened by Captain Zhou to send her back to her hometown, Zhao Li no longer dared to jump around.
…
It was ten o'clock before Zheng Baozhu slowly woke up from her bed.
Song Sicheng took a rag, took out a bowl of porridge from the pot on the stove, and took out an egg.
"Mom, eat."
Seeing Song Sicheng's winter vacation homework on the table, Zheng Baozhu said, "Sicheng, it's New Year's Day, go have fun with your friends, there's no need to rush to do your homework."
Song Sicheng said: "Dad said we will go back to Beijing tomorrow. After we go back, we will visit relatives to wish them a happy new year. If I write more, I can have more fun."
There are a lot of things to bring back. If Zheng Baozhu is alone, she can just put them in the space. Since Song Zhiting is here, he can take the luggage.
…
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Chen Lifang got up before dawn to prepare breakfast.
Her husband Zheng Youlin rubbed his eyes dazedly and sat up from the bed: "Baozhu and the others won't arrive in Beijing until the early morning, so they must have breakfast at the Song family first, so don't do what they do."
Chen Lifang said: "Baozhu said in the letter that she would come to my house as soon as she returned to Beijing. I want to make her her favorite egg custard."
Seeing that his wife was determined to do what she wanted, Zheng Youlin followed her.
In fact, he also wanted his daughter to go home immediately after arriving in Beijing, but his daughter was already married. She was not only their daughter, but also the daughter-in-law of the Song family.
…
At this time, Zheng Baozhu was being held by the hand by her mother-in-law, who was asking her about her well-being.
Sister-in-law Zeng Xuehui prepared breakfast and said to mother-in-law Wu Hongxia, "Mom, my sister-in-law's parents are probably waiting for her. Let her have breakfast and go back to her parents' home. We can talk slowly when she comes back."
The Song family was very warm to Zheng Baozhu, especially Mr. Song, who gave Zheng Baozhu a red envelope as soon as he got home after receiving a down jacket from Zheng Baozhu.
Song Sicheng also received New Year's money from his family elders.
Zheng Baozhu also gave New Year's money to her son Song Chengguang in the same way that Zeng Xuehui gave to Sicheng.
…
Chen Lifang was waiting at the gate of the textile factory.
The factory worker asked, "Lifang, is your Baozhu coming back today?"
Chen Lifang smiled and said, "Yes, I just arrived in Beijing this morning."
Zheng Baoyi also came to the gate.
Chen Lifang glanced at her, ignored her and continued looking into the distance.
Zheng Baoyi said, "Baozhu, please don't forget to bring your down jacket back."
Chen Lifang glanced at her. She had snatched her daughter's marriage away, but still had the nerve to let her daughter give her a down jacket. How could she have the nerve to do that?
However, at this time, Chen Lifang was too lazy to be angry with Zheng Baoyi because she saw a military green jeep driving towards this side.
The car stopped at the gate. As soon as Zheng Baozhu opened the door and got out, Chen Lifang hugged her.
"My dear Baozhu, you are back. Mommy missed you so much!"
Zheng Baozhu patted her mother's back: "I miss my mother too, Mom, let's go home quickly, I brought you a lot of gifts!"
"Baozhu, did you bring back the down jacket I asked you to bring?"
Zheng Baozhu looked at Zheng Baoyi: "What down jacket?"
"I wrote to you and asked you to buy a down jacket for my father-in-law?"
Zheng Baozhu asked back: "Did I promise you?"
Zheng Baoyi said angrily: "I am your cousin, please, I can't even handle such a small matter!"
Zheng Baozhu asked again: "You asked me to buy clothes. Excuse me, did you give me the money?"
Zheng Baoyi angrily took out 20 yuan from his pocket and said, "Here you go. You are greedy for money! It's like you have never seen money in your life. Give me the clothes!"
Zheng Baozhu took the money and shook it in her hand: "This amount of money is not enough. A down jacket costs 145 yuan."
"Why don't you go and rob!"
Seeing Zheng Baoyi, who was so angry that she was about to explode, the mother and daughter walked back home arm in arm.
