Chapter 237 A Family



Although we can’t have such a long home visit leave this year, this is the first New Year celebrated by our family of three.

Lu Jianan was able to rest on New Year's Eve and the first day of the new year. He got up early in the morning and played with Ah Man on the kang. Song Nanting got up and kneaded the dough and rolled out a layer of noodles. Before rolling the noodles, he soaked a handful of black fungus and mushrooms, cut a cabbage from the cellar into thin strips, and cut a piece of pork with fat and lean meat. Stir-fry the chopped green onions, add the pork and stir-fry until the fat comes out, then stir-fry the mushrooms and cabbage. When they are soft, pour a little boiling water and stew for a while.

After the noodles were cooked, the family of three sat around on the kang and slurped them.

Although the noodles and stew looked the same, actually there was no salt in the stew given to A-man. She didn’t know that and thought that her parents’ stew was the same, so she ate it so deliciously.

He ate a small bowl of noodles in one gulp, then patted his belly and said, "I'm full."

Lu Jianan touched her head and said with a smile, "Silly girl."

Song Nanting was unhappy and glared at him, "How can you say your daughter is stupid? If your daughter is stupid, then her father is also stupid."

Ah Man clapped his legs and laughed, "Silly."

Song Nanting was even more speechless. She didn't even know how to call mom and dad yet, but she had already learned the three words "stupid", "full" and "watch".

Every time he sees food, he gets excited. He gets excited when he sees the hustle and bustle. He is just like a small civet in a melon field.

The family had a quick meal at noon, and in the evening Song Nanting began to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner. There were still two kinds of meals, one for adults and one for children.

Compared with the adults, Ah Man's New Year's Eve dinner was not very good. But there was nothing he could do. He was too young and had only four teeth. He couldn't eat hard food, so he could only eat soft food. When he ate, he looked like an old lady.

Fortunately, it is easy to fool people at this age. He didn’t seem to notice anything was wrong and was enjoying his meal.

After the New Year’s Eve dinner, the family of three went to the military auditorium to watch the cultural performance. Song Nanting saw Miao Qing, whom she hadn’t seen for a long time.

Miao Qing seems to have never found a partner, and has really devoted her youth to the army. But looking at the confident and beautiful Miao Qing on the stage, Song Nanting feels that no matter what choices you make in life, you will have your own beauty, and a woman's life has more than one path to take.

After the New Year, time seemed to pass very quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the fifth day of the first lunar month.

Liu Juan is getting married.

During the Chinese New Year, Yang Changhe and Zhao Aihua came once and discussed with Qi Jun's family. They decided to marry from Yang Changhe's home in Xiaohe Village and then come to the military compound. From then on, the Yang family was Liu Juan's natal family.

Liu Juan was very happy, and Qi Jun's family had no objections.

The day before the wedding, Qi Jun approached Lu Jianan and borrowed his car because Liu Juan envied their relationship and wanted to take advantage of their good luck, so Lu Jianan lent it to him.

As the mother's family member, Song Nanting sent A-man to Aunt Song's home early in the morning on the fifth day of the New Year, and then went to Xiaohe Village alone.

Yang Changhe's house was very lively, and Liu Juan married out of the house they had lived in that day. Zhao Aihua and his wife really treated Liu Juan as their daughter and sent her off to marry, preparing two quilts, two thermoses, two enamel basins, and even two pots.

These expenses cannot be small, but everyone in the Yang family, including Qiao Meijia, seems to have no objection.

Liu Juan smiled and said, "Nanting, please put on my makeup."

Song Nanting nodded, "Okay."

Liu Juan is good-looking, otherwise she would have been targeted by Sun Fuqiang when she first came to the countryside, and then harmed by Liu Rong and others. Song Nanting even had a conspiracy theory, maybe Sun Fuqiang had his eyes on Liu Rong at first, but Liu Rong didn't like Sun Fuqiang, and Liu Juan, a new educated youth, happened to come, so she pushed Liu Juan out.

Fortunately, everything is over.

After Song Nanting finished applying makeup for Liu Juan, many people exclaimed, "Nanting, your skills are really amazing. In the past, you could have made a living with this."

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Song Nanting suddenly thought, maybe she should try waiting until the reform and opening up in 1978?

A few days after Liu Juan got married, Hua Yingyue called Song Nanting and said that she had bought a train ticket for the tenth day of the first lunar month.

Song Nanting also asked, "Why are you in such a hurry? Why don't you stay a few more days?"

Hua Yingyue said, "I'm not the one who's anxious, it's Jian Ning who's anxious, he's about to start school."

When Song Nanting heard it, it seemed to be true.

Then Hua Yingyue said, "By the way, your grandparents also want to come and live with you for a while. Is that okay?"

Song Nanting had no objection and nodded immediately, "Of course."

"That's good." Hua Yingyue laughed, "But your grandparents mean that your place will be too crowded with too many people, so they plan to find a yard in a nearby village and live there for a few months. They mainly miss their children."

Song Nanting said, "There's room for us at home, why bother?"

"No trouble, no trouble, you don't have to worry about it."

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Hua Yingyue and others arrived, everything was settled, and the first lunar month was over.

In April of the Gregorian calendar, A-man turned one year old. Lu Chengbai and his wife arranged a one-year-old ceremony for the child and placed all kinds of things on the big kang in their home.

In the end, Aman didn't want anything and directly reached for Lu Jianan's military uniform.

Now everyone was dumbfounded.

When he learned that Song Nanting had given birth to a daughter, Lu Minghao even nagged Lu Chengbai, "It's good to have a daughter. A daughter is quiet and gentle, so just enjoy your life."

For a family like the Lu family, the little girl is indeed enjoying a good life.

However, who could have thought that Aman would insist on stripping off her father's military uniform.

Lu Minghao, who came all the way from the capital to watch his granddaughter's one-year-old celebration, was so upset because his granddaughter didn't choose any of the pens, notebooks, pretty hairpins and hairbands he had prepared.

Depressed, very depressed.

Instead, Lu Jianan touched Aman's head and said, "Aman, if you want to wear this military uniform, you have to wait until you grow up."

Song Nanting looked at it and could only smile helplessly.

After turning one year old, Aman became a completely different child.

He can walk, call mom and dad, run, and climb up the fruit tree to pull up the small fruits hanging on the tree.

However, in the summer of that year, Song Nanting suddenly got involved with Tian Xiaoe again.

It is said that Tian Xiao'e got married.
