Song Chen got up early in the morning, went downstairs to buy breakfast, and then called Lin Lu to have breakfast at eight o'clock.
He gently shook the quilt on her and called softly, "Lin Lulu, hurry up and get up. We need to go back early."
Lin Lu had a rare day to sleep in, and he relaxed both physically and mentally, not wanting to get up.
Squinting his eyes, he hummed, "Can't it be later? I'm so sleepy."
Song Chen didn't quite understand: "You went to bed before ten o'clock last night. Didn't you get enough sleep? I've already made breakfast. It's your favorite dumplings."
Lin Lu didn't know why he was so sleepy. It might be that all the sleep he had missed in the past had accumulated today.
"You get up so early to make dough?"
Song Chen laughed and said, "How is that possible? Hehe, I went downstairs to buy it."
Otherwise how could it be so fast.
Song Chen naturally kissed the corner of her lips, and no matter how much he kissed her, he couldn't get enough. "Mermaid Princess, are you up?"
Lin Lu gave him his hand: "Get up."
Song Chen pulled her up, helped her put on clothes like a lackey, and then squatted down to put shoes on her.
"Have you eaten?" Lin Lu asked him while eating dumplings.
Song Chen: "I've eaten. You eat first. I'll go pack some clothes for you."
After eating, he asked Lin Lu to call Lin Cheng to tell him about it, for fear that if he called home in the afternoon and didn't answer, he would think that Song Chen had kidnapped the person and done something bad.
The New Year atmosphere is very strong. The streets and alleys are painted red, Chinese knots are hung on the trees, and many families have put up Spring Festival couplets.
The two of them went to the supermarket to buy food first, and then went to buy Spring Festival couplets and other things. Song Chen's hands were full of hanging things, and Lin Lu also had a lot in her hands.
There were not many people on the bus, and the two of them sat in the back. Perhaps because of their different moods, Lin Lu felt that the day was over very quickly, and even the half-hour journey did not seem difficult to walk.
On the way back to my house, I met many comrades and sisters-in-law.
Song Chen has been here for a few months and is quite familiar with everyone.
Everyone else knew that he was married, but this was the first time they met his young wife.
"Hey, Captain Song, you finally brought your young wife from Beijing University here."
Song Chen smiled with a hint of boasting: "Yes, isn't today Chinese New Year? She deliberately didn't go home and came to see me and celebrate the festival with me."
"My sister-in-law is so beautiful."
Lin Lu: "Thank you."
Then, under Song Chen's introduction, he briefly greeted everyone.
Song Chen: "We won't chat with you all anymore. We haven't even started the fire yet. Let's go home first. You can come over and play when you have time."
An aunt said, "The crispy pork I made is delicious. I'll ask my Hu Zi to bring you a plate to try later."
"Yes, I pickled some radishes myself. They're very appetizing. I'll bring some over to you later."
"My home..."
…
Lin Lu: "Everyone is so enthusiastic."
Song Chen: "Yes, we are all family."
Song Chen kept the house very clean, and there was a brand new stove in the center of the living room.
"Did you just buy this?"
Song Chen: "Well, let's use this for heating first. We'll buy an air conditioner after we buy a house next year. Do you want to see the room?"
The bedroom is not very big, a little smaller than the one Lin Lu lives in Lin Cheng's house, but it is fully furnished, even with a dressing table, but it looks a bit crowded.
Lin Lu's eyes were drawn to the quilt at the head of the bed, and she asked, "Why is it a bright red quilt?"
Didn't he sleep alone before?
Song Chen: "Don't you have to cover yourself with a red quilt when you get married? It's very warm, try it."
Lin Lu was speechless. "Let's go put up Spring Festival couplets. Everyone else has already put them up."
"Let's go."
Soon, the sisters-in-law really brought over their homemade dishes. The two of them didn’t have to cook at noon, they could just cook some rice and eat it.
The New Year’s Eve dinner here is usually in the evening, but in my hometown it is in the afternoon, so the two of them just followed their hometown’s custom. After all, it has been many years and they are used to it.
The two of us cooked the New Year’s Eve dinner together and bought a lot of ingredients.
Song Chen fried tofu balls, a dish that must be made on New Year's Eve in his hometown, and then took Lin Lu to each family to repay the favor.
After returning home, I continued to prepare the New Year’s Eve dinner. Although there were only two of us, I still prepared a whole table.
"Come here, Lin Lulu, I'll toast you with a drink instead of wine. Happy New Year!"
"I wish you good health, happiness every day, success in your studies and career in the coming year. And, love me even more!"
Lin Lu also returned the toast: "Happy New Year."
"I also wish you good health, good luck and success in your career in the coming year. I hope you will love yourself and me even more."
This touched Song Chen's heart, and he quietly took out a red envelope and asked, "Hey, what is this?"
Lin Lu: "Thank you. I forgot to bring the gift I bought for you. I'll give it to you next time."
Song Chen was touched again: "From now on, all my salary will be kept by you. I have already told my mother that you can just send her some living expenses every month."
Lin Lu: "You keep it for yourself."
"No, I see other people's wives are the ones holding the money. If I keep it myself, what will happen if others laugh at me?"
When Lin Lu said this, he had no idea when the competition between men would become like this.
"Okay. Can the troops set off fireworks?"
In his hometown, only firecrackers were sold, and Lin Lu had never seen fireworks.
Song Chen: "Yes, they will be set off, but they will be set off in the area at the entrance of the family compound. I'll take you to see it later."
After finishing the New Year's Eve dinner and cleaning up, there was nothing for the two of them to do, so Song Chen's hands started to get restless.
