Chapter 177 Leaving the Northwest?
Lu Xiao held the tickets and listened to his mother-in-law's words, feeling surprised and happy.
He straightened his back and saluted Su Ma solemnly: "Mom, thank you! I will definitely live up to your expectations and work hard!"
Seeing his serious expression, Su Ma couldn't help but laugh: "You're still trying to trick me. You should treat Tangtang and the child well. That's better than anything else."
She and Su Wenbin only have one daughter, Su Tang. Everything they have in the future will belong to Su Tang.
Naturally, it also belongs to Lu Xiao.
Paving the way for Lu Xiao, of course, is also paving the way for Su Tang.
Su Tang, who was standing aside, watched this scene with a smile on his face.
The arrival of her parents added warmth to the family, making her feel at ease.
Dad Lu brought the stewed fish soup to the table, and the rich aroma spread instantly.
"Try it now, it's fresh fish."
He is not good at speaking, but he expressed his welcome in the most practical way.
Su Ma took a bite and praised repeatedly: "It tastes so delicious! Brother Lu's cooking skills are great."
Everyone was talking and laughing at the dinner table.
Dad Su and Dad Lu talked about things in the fields. Dad Su handed the seeds he brought to Wang Xinxin and gave her some instructions.
"These seeds are drought-resistant and have a high yield. If you study them carefully, they might be of great use."
Wang Xinxin took the seeds, her eyes shining like stars: "Thank you, Uncle Su! I will definitely plant them well so that everyone can eat fresh vegetables!"
Maybe, we can use these seeds to develop different things.
Wang Xinxin's eyes were full of light.
She had already turned over a small piece of land in the corner of the yard these days and was waiting for suitable seeds.
After dinner, Su Ma took Su Tang to the inner room to talk and asked her about the details of her delivery. Her eyes became red again.
"Don't be careless during the confinement period. Mom brought you some brown sugar and red dates. You must eat some every day."
As she spoke, she took out things from the suitcase, all of which were for Su Tang to replenish his body.
Su Tang nodded like a child.
With my mother by my side, it seems as if all the hardships have disappeared.
"Mom, we don't need so many things. My parents-in-law have prepared a lot."
Hearing Su Tang's words, Su Ma turned her head to look at her.
"Your parents-in-law prepared this. It's their gift, not mine or your father's."
Northwest China is not like Shanghai. It may have some things, but they are definitely not as complete as those in Shanghai.
When Su Ma came, she was afraid that she had not prepared enough.
I was afraid that I would bring too little for Su Tang.
"Mom, why are you so nice to me?"
Su Tang walked up to Su Ma, put his arms around her neck and kissed her.
Su Ma asked her to go aside with some disgust.
But she still enjoys interacting with her daughter.
Lu Xiao was called to the yard by Su's father.
"Xiao Lu, Tangtang has never suffered much since she was a child. It's not easy for her to marry here and follow you. You must love her more in the future."
Dad Su patted his shoulder and spoke earnestly.
"Dad, don't worry, I will treat her well for the rest of my life."
Lu Xiao's tone was extremely firm.
In the following days, the Lu family became even more lively.
Su's mother prepares nutritious meals for Su Tang in different ways every day, while Su's father occasionally visits Wang Xinxin's vegetable garden and gives her some advice on planting techniques.
Lu Xiao is still working hard to learn how to be a good father.
Under the dual guidance of Lu Ma and Su Ma.
He became more and more skilled in holding the baby, he was no longer in a hurry to change diapers, and he could even get the water temperature for making milk powder just right.
Sometimes when Su Tang woke up in the middle of the night, she would see Lu Xiao holding little Cheng'an and pacing gently in the room, humming a tuneless ballad.
Wang Xinxin's small vegetable garden also showed signs of improvement. The seeds broke through the soil and sprouted tender green leaves.
She would go to see it several times every day, taking care of it as carefully as if it were a child.
That day, Lu Xiao came back from the regiment with an expression of uncontrollable joy on his face.
"Tangtang, Mom, Dad, I have good news for you!"
He shouted as he entered the door.
Everyone looked at him, waiting for his next words.
"The capital has replied, agreeing to let me go over to study for a while. There may be new arrangements after I come back!"
Lu Xiao said excitedly.
Su Tang sat up straight, his eyes full of surprise: "Really? That's great!"
Lu's mother and father were also grinning from ear to ear, and Su's father and mother were even happier for him.
"This is a great thing,"
Mother Lu sighed, "Our Xiao Xiao has a promising future!"
Little Cheng'an seemed to feel the joy of the family as well. He giggled in Su Tang's arms and waved his little hands as if applauding his father.
"But, this time I'm just going to study, I can't bring my family with me, and Tangtang just gave birth..."
After the surprise, Lu Xiao said this.
My wife had just given birth and needed someone to accompany her.
He is leaving now to study in the capital, which will take at least a few months, and at most half a year.
This will cause me to miss a lot of the child's growth and I won't be able to take care of Su Tang.
Coupled with the things happening in the northwest, Lu Xiao really couldn't feel at ease.
"Captain Lu, look at how many people are surrounding me at home?"
"Just go without worry, I can take care of myself."
Su Tang comforted him, and then said slowly: "If you have a future, our family will have a future."
Lu Xiao looked into Su Tang's clear eyes, feeling both warm and bitter in his heart.
He reached out and took his wife and child into his arms, resting his chin on the top of Su Tang's head. His voice was a little hoarse: "When I come back, I will definitely make it up to you two."
Su Ma wiped her eyes and tried to smooth things over with a smile.
"There's nothing to compensate for this. A man should focus on his career. Xiao Lu, don't worry. Your mother and I will take care of the family and make sure Tangtang and the child are well-fed and healthy."
Father Su also nodded: "Go to Beijing and learn more, don't worry about home. If you need anything, just send a message back. Your mother and I will definitely help you in any way we can."
Lu Xiao looked at Su Tang. Although he was reluctant, he admitted that she was right.
Only if he has a future can they have a future.
In the next few days, Lu Xiao accompanied Su Tang and Xiao Cheng'an whenever he had time, and arranged everything he could think of in advance.
The night before departure, Lu Xiao sat by the bed, looking closely at the sleeping little Cheng'an.
The child's eyelashes are long and thick, his little mouth is slightly pouting, and he occasionally smacks his lips.
He couldn't help but reach out and gently touch the child's soft cheek, his heart full of reluctance.
Su Tang leaned on his shoulder and whispered, "Take good care of yourself when you get to the capital, eat on time, and don't stay up late. If you have any problems, just write to me and I will take care of the house."
Lu Xiao held her hand tightly and said solemnly: "I will. You have to take care of yourself too. Don't overwork yourself. When I come back, we will live a good life as a family."
The next morning, before dawn, Lu Xiao set off.
Su Tang held little Cheng'an and walked him to the door with his family.
Lu Xiao looked back at them, waved, then turned around and left with big strides.
Su Tang looked at his receding back until she could no longer see him, and then she couldn't help but tear up.
According to the normal plot, Lu Xiao met many bigwigs and had many connections after studying in Beijing.
In the future, he will rise rapidly, gain promotion every year, and have a bright future.
