Chapter 400: Sachet with the word "peace" embroidered on it
Lin Shijiao finally got the big red envelope from Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin. She happily hugged the two elderly people and embraced them affectionately.
She also gave Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin a big kiss on the face.
"Grandpa, grandma, you are the best to me!"
“This girl…”
Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin shook their heads helplessly, but the smiles on their faces became even brighter, with their eyes curved with laughter.
…
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, after the warmth among family members, the Qin family was busy.
Like Qin Jiulie, Qin's father and mother also have to attend social occasions.
Some people also come to wish Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin a happy new year on the most special day of the year.
All day.
The threshold of the entire Qin family was almost trampled flat by people, and there was always an endless stream of visitors.
Most of them are from the military.
After all, Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin have been in the southwest for decades, and it is a rare opportunity for them to return to the capital this year.
Among those who came to visit, there were many old comrades...
Young people are out of place in such occasions.
So Jiang Ning took the three little ones and Lin Shijiao to the room on the other side of the courtyard to take a rare break.
Jiang Ning was sorting out the wool with knitting needles in her hand.
The fingers flip the fabric one by one, weaving a neat texture.
Tongtong stayed by Jiang Ning's side, holding a ball of yarn in his hand and pulling the yarn out bit by bit.
Yaya and Suisui were playing with rattles, a magnifying glass, and an abacus...those were the items used in the "Zhuazhou" ceremony last night.
Yaya especially likes magnifying glasses. She holds them in her hands and looks left and right.
Lin Shijiao was cracking melon seeds on the side, taking out the kernels and placing them in a small white porcelain plate.
Yaya and Suisui would come over from time to time and grab a handful of melon seeds to eat.
Lin Shijiao looked at Yaya fiddling with the magnifying glass and said angrily.
"You like it so much now, why didn't you take it yesterday? Humph, now you know the magnifying glass is good, but it's too late! You little girl can no longer be a scientist."
Yaya didn't understand Lin Shijiao's mumbling.
She walked over in small steps, pointed at the longan on the table and said.
"Aunt, Yaya wants to eat that!"
Lin Shijiao, who was sulking the moment before, immediately agreed the next moment.
"Okay, I'll peel some longan for you to eat."
"Thank you, auntie. You are so kind to Yaya!"
Yaya’s little mouth looks like it’s covered with honey.
Lin Shijiao was so happy that she was smiling, completely forgetting about the one-year-old banquet last night, when Yaya was like a queen who grabbed one and threw one.
Just when Yaya was "coaxing" Lin Shijiao.
There were shouts from outside the door.
"Jiaojiao, are you there? Are you in the room?"
That voice was An Yiru.
"An An, I'm in the room, come in."
Lin Shijiao answered.
Then with a creak, the door opened and An Yiru, dressed in festive red, strode in.
An Yiru shouted happily.
"Jiaojiao! It's settled! The date is set!"
Lin Shijiao asked, "What do you mean it's settled? Are you going to get married? You've even decided on a date so soon!"
When An Yiru heard this, she immediately pouted several times.
"Pfft, pfft, pfft, it's New Year's Day, what are you talking about! I don't plan to get married."
"What date has been set?"
"The troops have notified me! The day for me to go to the front has been set!"
An Yiru shouted happily.
When Lin Shijiao heard this, she quickly stood up.
She and An Yiru are best friends, so she naturally knows how long An Yiru has been waiting for this moment and how long she has worked hard for it.
"Really? Congratulations! An An, congratulations!"
now.
Lin Shijiao and An Yiru hugged each other excitedly, jumping and dancing on the spot.
at the same time.
Jiang Ning's hands, which were originally knitting, stopped moving.
She looked at the two girls in front of her who were hugging each other excitedly.
After being enlightened by Qin Jiulie's "scumbag theory", Jiang Ning is no longer troubled by the complicated relationships between people.
It’s just a bit surprising that this day would come so early.
Jiang Ning thought for a moment and then asked.
"An An, what date has been set?"
An Yiru sat down next to Lin Shijiao, grabbed a handful of melon seeds and started eating them naturally, and answered.
"On the 16th day of the first lunar month, the army notified us to spend the Lantern Festival at home first and then leave by train. We will go directly from the capital to the south. I heard it's very far and it will take a day and a night to take the train. Sister-in-law, is that true?"
Jiang Ning nodded. "That's right. It's far away and it takes a long time to get there by train. You must prepare some extra things just in case."
"It's okay. I'm following the army, and the army will take care of us. If I bring anything with me, it'll be like being treated specially, which is not good."
An Yiru laughed heartily and said happily. ↘
She looked young and immature, and seemed quite young because of her round face, but she was very thoughtful. of
Lin Shijiao was listening at the side, happy for An Yiru but also worried about her.
She warned.
"An An, you must listen to the command when the time comes. Don't be impulsive and don't leave the team without permission. That's the front line, and you will really encounter danger. You must...you must come back safely."
"Don't worry! I will be safe! Besides, I haven't set off yet, why are you getting nervous for me?"
An Yiru felt Lin Shijiao's concern and deliberately spoke in a light-hearted manner.
Jiang Ning waited until they calmed down a little, then spoke to An Yiru.
"An An, I prepared a small gift for you."
"Gift!" An Yiru widened her eyes in surprise, rubbed her hands nervously, and looked expectant. "Sister-in-law, you want to give me a gift? That's so embarrassing..."
When speaking.
An Yiru's gaze followed Jiang Ning all the time, her eyes full of curiosity.
Jiang Ning left for a while, and when he came back, he was holding a sachet in his hand.
"An An, I know you like the clothes I make, but I don't have enough time to make clothes recently. This sachet is also made by me. I hope you like it."
An Yiru took the sachet with both hands, with the corners of her mouth raised high.
"Sister-in-law, no need for clothes! The sachet is just fine! I like it!"
This is a bag made by her favorite designer herself!
Even the sachet is made of soft satin fabric, and the words "peace" are embroidered with needle and thread.
If you put it under your nose, you can smell a refreshing fragrance.
An Yiru exclaimed, "Wow! It smells so good! It seems to be osmanthus..."
Jiang Ning said, "I put some osmanthus flowers in it. I also put some moxa leaves and other Chinese herbs. These herbs can repel insects. The weather is hot in the southwest front, there are many jungles, and there are more mosquitoes. If you carry this sachet, it can keep away snakes, insects, rats and ants."
