Chapter 307 The Dark Night
A whole night without anyone disturbing him was enough for Huo Yan to prove his youth and strength.
If circumstances allowed, he could fight for three hundred rounds.
But the situation did not allow him to do so. He could only condense a whole night's worth of grievances into one hour, and try his best to prove himself without the little ancestor scolding him.
After the clouds and rain, the atmosphere is lingering.
Su Lingyu washed up again, wearing a black silk nightgown, and stood in front of the glass mirror cabinet door in the bedroom.
The mirror revealed her slender figure. She turned left and right several times, raised her hand to touch her abdomen, and felt the obvious bulge in her abdomen, which felt wonderful.
Huo Yan was half leaning against the head of the bed reading a book. Seeing this scene, he smiled, put down the book in his hand, walked behind her, slightly bent over and held her in his arms.
He bent down and kissed the top of her head. His broad, warm hands rested on her belly. His cold and serious features were tinged with a hint of warmth in the dim light.
"Isn't it incredible?" he asked.
"Yeah." Su Lingyu responded, "It's hard to imagine."
Huo Yan laughed softly.
He understood this feeling very well because he was the same, often immersed in a dizziness of happiness, unable to believe that in a few months two young lives would be born, his and her child.
After hugging each other for a while, he saw that it was getting late and asked slowly, "Go to bed early?"
"Hmm..." Su Lingyu nodded.
After sitting on the bed, she thought of something and suddenly snuggled into Huo Yan's arms, staring at him without blinking, as if she had something to say.
Huo Yan's Adam's apple rolled, and he asked in a hoarse voice: "...You want it again?"
"...No!" Su Lingyu pinched him unhappily, "I have something to ask you, be serious!"
Huo Yan cleared his throat and said, "What's the matter?"
"Isn't it the Chinese New Year in a few days? Should we go back to the military compound or celebrate it here in the family compound?"
Huo Yan asked first: "What do you think?"
"Me?" Su Lingyu thought about it and smiled, "I can do both."
The advantage of living here in your own family area is that you are free.
But she liked Chen Yuxiang very much, and it would be more lively if the whole family could spend the day together.
But for Huo Yan, he definitely hopes to return to the military compound.
After speaking her mind, Su Lingyu poked Huo Yan's waist and said, "Just tell me, do you want to go back there and live together? If you beg me well, I might agree."
Huo Yan was amused by her smug and coquettish expression. He chuckled and kissed her on the forehead: "Yes, please."
"How do you ask?"
"Again?"
Su Lingyu's laughter rang out.
The night was dark, but the undercurrent was so vivid and passionate, wave after wave. People immersed in love did not drink, but seemed to be intoxicated by the wine.
…
In the blink of an eye, it’s New Year’s Eve.
Su Lingyu and Huo Yan decided early on to celebrate the New Year in the military compound, but they also bought some New Year's goods in the family compound and put up new red couplets.
Huo Yan wrote the couplets himself by cutting up red paper he bought on the street.
Before, I saw his family posted the couplets they wrote, and many neighbors came to ask for favors, and his house became lively for a while.
On New Year's Eve, Su Lingyu and Huo Yan drove to the military compound early in the morning.
Chen Yuxiang and Huo Jianguo were so happy to see them back that they asked Zhang Ma to cook a few more dishes. They also gave Su Lingyu a box of specially prepared bird's nests, saying that it could help her replenish her body and was good for her during pregnancy.
The whole day was lively and peaceful. In the evening, after dinner, the family sat on the sofa and began to spend their New Year's money.
Chen Yuxiang and Huo Jianguo took out a stack of red envelopes and gave two to Su Lingyu first.
"This is the New Year's money for you and Huo Yan. Although you have started your own families and careers, in front of your father and me, you two are always children... Take this money and save it for a rainy day."
The red envelope was thick, containing the heavy blessings from her parents. Su Lingyu took it with a smile.
Chen Yuxiang took out another red envelope and gave it to Huo Lang.
"You are not young anymore. When you and He Ying graduate from university, you will have to plan your marriage. You should learn from your brother and grow up quickly. A real man should not only fight for his country, but also take good care of his wife. Do you understand?"
When talking about He Ying, Huo Lang smiled and said, "Mom, I will. I will give the red envelope to He Ying later and let her collect it for me like my sister-in-law."
Chen Yuxiang smiled and said, "It's up to you."
The men in the Huo family are all more afraid of their wives than the others. This is considered a good tradition and she welcomes it.
When they arrived at Huo Xiang, Chen Yuxiang also took out a thick red envelope and expressed her New Year's blessings and expectations for her: "I just hope that you study hard, make progress every day, and get 80 points in every exam. Don't let your father and I worry about your studies anymore."
As soon as she said that, Huo Xiang's hand holding the red envelope immediately stopped in mid-air.
After thinking for a while, she sat back down with an embarrassed look on her face, and said righteously, "Thank you for your blessing, Mom, but I don't think I should take the money!"
If you get it, you should study hard and make progress every day, so forget it.
She is just a poor student and a loser.
The improvement in my exam results and the passing of all subjects this time were all thanks to Ji Yandong’s kiss and temptation.
She got 80 points in every subject? It would be better to let her go to heaven!
She only has so much potential, and no amount of squeezing can squeeze out more.
Chen Yuxiang: “……?”
Huo Xiang smiled innocently and flatteringly, cute and asking for a beating: "Hehe."
The system suddenly laughed out loud: [Host, Huo Xiang is so funny, ha ha ha! ]
[She passed the exam this time, and Chen Yuxiang began to hope that she would get 80 points in every subject. Hmm... Fortunately, she knew she couldn't do it, so she didn't dare to accept the red envelope.]
[If Chen Yuxiang knew how badly Ji Yandong had failed to help Huo Xiang with her studies, and that he almost lost his life to her, she probably wouldn't have such unrealistic hopes.]
[Among the Huo family members, Huo Xiang should be the dumbest, right? She has no hope in this life, and can only hope that Ji Yandong can improve the genes of the next generation. ]
Huo Xiang pursed her lips quietly, unable to refute, feeling aggrieved.
Su Lingyu suppressed her laughter and said: [She is also the cutest one.]
A small flame suddenly lit up in Huo Xiang's eyes, and he became proud again.
Looking at her smug look, Chen Yuxiang shook her head secretly.
Several men in the Huo family had smiles in their eyes, but they couldn't laugh out loud and it was very difficult to hold it in.
After all, it was Chinese New Year. Chen Yuxiang took a deep breath, suppressed the thought of whipping out a feather duster to beat up the girl, and stuffed the red envelope to her unhappily: "Take it, or I'll beat you up!"
Huo Xiang's pretty face suddenly fell.
Okay, I’ll get beaten whether I take it or not, so just take it.
One day, she will get Ji Yandong's red envelope, her little treasury will surely be bigger, and then she will go abroad. It is said that the quality of education abroad does not focus on grades, maybe that place is her paradise.
After handing out the red envelopes, the family sat around the TV and started watching the Spring Festival Gala.
The first Spring Festival Gala was held in 1983. After several events, the TV station became more experienced and the galas became more and more interesting.
Now that everyone is used to it, it seems like something is missing if we don't watch the Gala during the Spring Festival.
When it reached ninety o'clock, Su Lingyu yawned with her hands covering her lips, and a layer of light mist appeared in her almond-shaped eyes.
Huo Yan kept an eye on her and asked, "Are you going upstairs to sleep?"
Chen Yuxiang immediately said, "The beds and quilts in your room have been washed and dried in the sun, so they are all clean. Go upstairs, take a shower and go to bed early. You are already married, so don't stay up all night to celebrate the New Year. Next year will be smooth sailing."
She also told Huo Yan: "Take good care of your wife. Don't come down. Just stay with her."
"Yes." Huo Yan nodded with a smile.
He helped Su Lingyu walk upstairs, and every word and action he took was full of care.
Watching the two people leaving, Chen Yuxiang nudged Huo Jianguo with her elbow and said, "Have you noticed that your eldest son is smiling a lot more now?"
Huo Jianguo thought about it seriously, rubbed his painful ribs and said, "If you stab me less times, I can smile more."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuxiang glanced at him sideways and said, "Oh! I don't care!"
After saying that, he thought of something and discussed it with Huo Jianguo again: "Lingyu's due date is not long after the Chinese New Year. The two babies are about to be born. Where do you think we should take care of the children after they are born?"
