Shen Qingli's plan to go to the movies after lunch was not carried out. When they both woke up, it was already past five o'clock.
It gets dark early in winter. As it gets darker, and Father Meng hasn't returned yet, the two of them can set off again to go back.
"Qingqing, Mom noticed you weren't wearing a hat and gloves. I bought them at the department store this afternoon. It's getting cold, so wear them when you go out. Don't get frostbitten. I wasn't careful when I was young, and now I get a headache when I encounter a cold wind."
Ye Qiu reached out and put the hat on Shen Qingli's head, and then handed her the gloves.
"Thanks, Mom. I love it."
Shen Qingli gave her mother-in-law a big hug.
"Why are you being so polite to Mom? Let's go back now. It's dark and the road is hard to walk on."
"Goodbye Grandpa, goodbye Mom. Goodbye Kexin, we're leaving."
Shen Qingli sat in the car and waved out the window.
"Go ahead. Come back often when you have time." Old Master Meng waved his hand. He turned his back and pressed his eyes.
I felt a bit sad. When you get older, you can't see the separation. In the past two years, those old friends have fallen ill or passed away. Three great men have also passed away one after another. The devastating earthquake in Tang City in July took the lives of more than 200,000 people in an instant, which made him sigh and respect the impermanence of life.
The children and grandchildren are all free and unrestrained, and sometimes they cannot even get together for the New Year.
Some see each other once a year, some don’t see each other for several years, and some see each other only once every few months.
I wonder how many more years these old bones of mine can last?
Every time we see each other, we see them less and less. How many times can we see them again?
Ye Qiu noticed that his father-in-law was in a bad mood and winked at Meng Kexin.
Meng Kexin was also smart and understood everything immediately. She took a few steps forward and hugged Mr. Meng's arm and acted coquettishly: "Grandpa, I want to eat candy. Let's go to the canteen in front to buy some candy, okay? I don't have any money. Grandpa, can you pay for me~"
The frustration in Mr. Meng's heart was greatly relieved. "You're already a grown-up girl, but you're still as greedy as you were when you were little!"
While saying this, he slowly walked towards the convenience store.
Meng Kexin tried to hold onto his arm, but he glared at her fiercely: "Let go! Your grandpa isn't old enough to need someone to help him walk. I can still bring you kids here to buy candy later!"
"Yes, yes, you are still strong."
Meng Kexin's mouth twitched
The old man is really thinking ahead. She doesn't even have a partner, yet he's already thinking about helping her take care of the children! ?
The two of them returned home and Meng Xiao went to cook.
The first thing Shen Qingli did was to hug her little Naitang, "Have you been good today, Naitang? Do you miss your mother?"
"Meow~"
After dinner, they went back into their space to wash up and then came out to snuggle in bed, watching the TV series they had downloaded and cached on their tablet.
It's a military drama that she came across when she was out of dramas to watch, and she has been watching it recently.
"Meng Xiaoxiao, do you think it's right for someone as proud and outstanding as Gu Yiye to sacrifice his entire life to marry the squad leader's widow?"
Emotionally, I can understand it, but rationally, I find it hard to accept. Gu Yiye is so arrogant, confident, and unruly!
"From the moment he held an umbrella for Ah Xiu, I guessed that this umbrella was destined to be held for a lifetime. I think he and I are quite similar, just as proud and confident. As both soldiers and men, I can understand him. If I were in his shoes, I would probably do the same. Or maybe I wouldn't do it as well as he did."
Noticing Shen Qingli's unfriendly look, he hurriedly explained: "I mean it's possible! Possibly! Besides, I've already met you.
And this kind of thing can't happen to me. You are not Jiangnan Zhengxin wavering, and you give others a chance when you are with me and don't reject their advances. Jiangnan Zheng doesn't understand him, and it feels like he is still hanging on to something. "
"Okay, stop praising me. I want to sleep now, do you still want to watch?" Shen Qingli felt that he was particularly sleepy recently, and felt like he wanted to sleep all day long. It was like he didn't get enough sleep.
But she didn't care, just thinking that she was too lazy to move because it was cold.
"No, let's watch it together tomorrow night.
Go to sleep. I'll hold you. Oh, by the way, Grandpa asked me to give you the money for the thermos and chili sauce. I put it in your bag. Remember to take it out tomorrow.
Someone in the group also wanted a thermos and chili sauce. I refused the chili sauce because of your hand injury. If you want to sell a thermos, just bring out a few and I'll bring them over tomorrow."
He kept on chattering, and Shen Qingli responded in a low voice with his eyes closed.
She closed her eyes and moved ten thermoses out of the space. She got out of his arms and turned over to face the bed:
"Don't talk to me, I'm so sleepy."
Meng Xiao reached out and pulled the light cord at the head of the bed.
Lights out
"Wife, I think."
"No! You don't want to!"
"Don't touch me, or you can sleep in that room."
"oh!"
The winter in the north is really cold. I didn’t feel that cold before because I had heating and air conditioning, but now there is nothing. Shen Qingli is so cold that he dare not go out these days.
That day, Shen Qingli closed the door in the house and was wrapping dumplings. She glanced at the time. It was time and Meng Xiao hadn't come back yet. Maybe he was delayed by something.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law." With the arrival of the car, Sang Yuan's voice was also heard.
Hearing his anxious tone, Shen Qingli's heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly opened the door and asked, "What's going on?"
"Sister-in-law, the leader asked me to pick you up and take you to the group. There's something urgent that needs to be translated."
"Okay, turn the car around first. My hands are covered in flour. I'll be right back after washing them."
There are civilian staff in the regiment. Shen Qingli thought that if the matter was not urgent, Meng Xiao would not let him go.
