She remembered that they had fought a war with a small country in the south last time, but that war ended very quickly, and it seemed that they had won a great victory in less than a month.
But she couldn't remember the exact time when the war started. She only vaguely remembered that it seemed to have broken out not long after that.
She calculated the days and found that there were still about two months left, and the baby in her belly should be born by then.
There were casualties in the war, but the shells were blind, and Su Wan's heart couldn't help but writhe.
At the end of the letter, Lu Chengji comforted her again, saying that it was still uncertain whether the war would be fought or not. If there was no war, he would come back to spend the rest of his life with her even if he had to fight to the death.
Su Wan also prayed secretly in her heart, hoping that history would not repeat itself, hoping that the small country would not commit crimes and would not test the bottom line of the big country, hoping that there would be peace in the world and that there would never be a war.
Finally, Lu Cheng-Chiu reminded her to take good care of her health.
She and her child risked his life and waited for him to come back safely.
Su Wan murmured to the letter: "My child and I will wait for you to come back, and you must come back safely!"
In the evening, the sky suddenly became dark. After dinner, the sky was dotted with snowflakes.
"Haibin, we're done eating, you should hurry to the town. If you get sick later, it will be hard to walk."
Xu Guixiang stood in the yard, looking at 꽭 and shouting at Su Haibin.
Su Haibin responded and was about to leave, but was stopped by Xu Guixiang again.
"Wait a moment, I'll get you a blanket."
Xu Guixiang turned around and went back to the house. After a while, she came out holding a large bag packed with bed sheets, and the bed sheets looked new.
"You are getting married, so you should be given new houses, no matter if they are paved or built. Who asked you to get married in such a hurry? I didn't have time to prepare them for you.
This quilt and bed sheet were prepared when I prepared wedding supplies for your brother. Fortunately, I prepared an extra one. You can use it first. I will replenish it for you later."
"This bed is enough for me." Su Haibin took the quilt a little embarrassedly, "Then I'm leaving."
"Let's go."
Xu Guixiang urged again, then followed Su Haibin out the door, stood at the gate, and watched her son walk away before turning around and going in.
She felt a little sad in her heart, as the children had grown up in the blink of an eye and all four of them were married.
Thinking about it, everything was just like a dream. I married my daughter off in a daze, and became a mother-in-law in a daze.
But seeing that the children all have their own homes, she also feels very happy.
When Su Haibin rushed to the town with a quilt on his back, Zhang Ting was worried. She was afraid that something bad might happen and Su Haibin would not come again.
Zhang Shuai came over again today. Zhang Ting heard his voice through the door, but she didn't even open the door for him.
Even though he shouted more than ten times outside, she just stood there pretending not to hear.
In the evening, when Xiaobao got home from school, Zhang Shuai followed Xiaobao and came over again.
He also asked Zhang Ting where she had been last night. Zhang Ting was cooking and ignored him, so he had to talk to Xiaobao.
When Xiaobao saw that his sister ignored Zhang Shuai, he also did not say anything.
Finally he got bored and left.
After dinner, seeing that it was getting dark and Su Haibin was still nowhere to be seen, Zhang Ting felt very upset.
Xiaobao was lying under the oil lamp doing his homework while she was pasting paper boxes. After pasting a few, she couldn't go on and got up to go to the door. She opened the door and looked out. Just in time, she saw Su Haibin coming over with a big bag on his shoulders.
She called out to him excitedly, "Haibin."
Then he walked quickly towards Su Haibin.
When they got there, Zhang Ting said to Su Haibin in a coquettish voice, "Today is not a good day. I was thinking about not coming because of you."
"I met a classmate on the way and we chatted for a while, which delayed us for a while."
After Su Haibin finished explaining to Zhang Ting, he suddenly looked at Zhang Ting with an ambiguous smile.
Zhang Ting didn't understand what was going on. She stared at him with her big, clear eyes and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Su Haibin smiled but did not answer. At this time, the two of them had already walked to the gate, and the wind blew one of the doors closed.
Zhang Ting quickly stepped forward and opened the door. After Su Haibin went in, Zhang Ting locked the door again.
When she entered the house and saw Su Haibin unpacking his baggage, she went forward to help.
When the bundle was opened, Zhang Ting saw a brand new quilt wrapped inside.
She said in surprise, "I was thinking about this big bag of clothes for you, but this quilt is just right. It's getting colder and colder, and I was just worried that there weren't enough quilts at home."
"My mother said that we got married too hastily and she didn't have time to prepare anything. But she said that she would make up for the preparations when the time comes."
Zhang Ting nodded. "Tell mom not to worry. I can put together the rest here. Thank you for your hard work running back and forth every day."
Su Haibin wanted to say that it was not hard, but when he thought that someone was waiting for him, he felt like he had endless energy.
As his brother-in-law was still sitting in front of him, he quietly reached his hand out from under the quilt and fiercely grasped Zhang Ting's hand.
Zhang Ting was stunned at first, then her face turned red, but she did not struggle and let Su Haibin hold her hand for a long time.
Xiaobao noticed that something was wrong with the two men. They just stood there without saying a word, like two pieces of wood. So he shouted at them, and the two men quickly let go of their hands.
Xiaobao finished his homework quickly. While packing up his books, he shouted to Su Haibin,
"Brother Haibin, I have finished my homework. Let's go to bed. Can you tell me another story today?
Su Haibin looked at Zhang Ting in embarrassment. Today they were newly married, so she couldn't let him sleep with his brother-in-law, right?
"I'll make the beds for you. By the way, Haibin, you should cover yourself with this new quilt tonight."
Zhang Ting didn't know whether she understood or not, and was still avoiding it intentionally. After she finished speaking, she picked up the quilt and walked towards Xiaobao's room.
