The next day, Gu Shiqing told Lin Banxia about the leave: "After listening to me, the leader understood our situation and approved me to take a week off next week. I will accompany you to pick up Grandpa later."
"Tsu~"
…
The organization paid special attention to traditional Chinese medicine this time. Considering that there was no venue for the training class and the government primary school could not spare any empty classrooms, the organization sent people to build a training base, and once it was built, they immediately started studying.
During the time in the training base building, Lin Banxia received a package from Shanghai.
When Lin Banxia went to pick up the package, she and Gu Shiqing went together, otherwise Lin Banxia would definitely not be able to carry such a large package.
"What's in such a big package?" Hou Xiufen couldn't help but exclaimed when she saw the package that looked like a person. "Did your parents-in-law send their entire home over?"
Lin Banxia smiled and said, "I'm also wondering why such a large package was sent."
"That's normal. You're pregnant, and it's convenient to buy things in Shanghai. Your parents-in-law must be worried about you and your eldest grandson, so they want to send more things over. You are really lucky." Hou Xiufen said.
After hearing this, Lin Banxia and Hou Xiufen flattered each other: "Sister-in-law Hou, you are very lucky. Doesn't your mother-in-law often send you packages?"
Hou Xiufen smiled after hearing this, which was considered as her agreement with Lin Banxia's words.
At home, Lin Banxia and Gu Shiqing opened the package together and found that it was almost sent to their home just as Hou Xiufen said.
There are several cans of milk powder, various nutritional supplements, and clothes for children. Because we don’t know whether it is a boy or a girl, the colors of the clothes are relatively neutral.
However, from the style of the clothes, Lin Banxia could tell that Xu Minzhi also secretly wanted to have a daughter because of the little skirt.
There were two letters in the package, one for Lin Banxia and the other for Gu Shiqing.
The couple looked at each other, and their parents had not yet started sending the letter.
But the two of them didn't say anything. They each took their own letter and started reading.
In the letter to Lin Banxia, Xu Minzhi, as a person who had experienced it, wrote about many things that might happen during pregnancy. She said that it might be calcium deficiency, and sent calcium tablets to Lin Banxia, asking her to take them every day.
She told Gu Shiqing what she wanted to eat during her pregnancy, and never let him idle. She also said that she only had a few months left before retirement, and she did not plan to apply to stay in the school. After the retirement procedures were completed, she would come to the army to take care of Lin Banxia.
Two whole pages were filled with such caring words, covering every detail that needed attention.
When Lin Banxia read the letter, she could imagine how Xu Minzhi looked when she wrote it.
Although Xu Minzhi was not her biological mother, she treated her like her own daughter.
The letter from Gu Shiqing was much simpler. Although there were quite a few words in the letter, they were all about instructing him as a husband on how to take care of his wife. It didn't say anything else.
Gu Shiqing looked at his own letter, then at Lin Banxia's letter, and couldn't help but sigh.
He said in a rather resentful tone: "Wife, why do I feel like these people are your biological parents, and I am the son-in-law of the family?"
Lin Banxia couldn't help laughing when she heard what he said. She reached out and poked his handsome face: "What? Captain Gu is jealous?"
Gu Shiqing hugged her into his arms, resting his chin on the top of her head and rubbing it gently: "Yeah, jealous."
His voice was muffled. "Mom even wrote to you about my bed-wetting when I was a child, but she only wrote a few words for me: take care of Banxia."
"You're jealous too? Then I won't give birth to a child for you. You go and give birth to the child yourself. If you were the one giving birth to the child, the letter mom would write would definitely be about caring for you." Lin Banxia pouted and hummed softly.
When Gu Shiqing heard this, he immediately raised his hands and said, "Wife, I was wrong."
Lin Banxia laughed so hard that her shoulders shook. She pulled herself out of his arms and started looking through the small clothes: "Look at this little skirt. Mom must be looking forward to having a granddaughter."
The sunlight shone through the window onto the delicate little clothes on the bed, and Gu Shiqing's eyes suddenly softened.
I can’t imagine how popular their daughter would be if she wore a skirt.
…
After waiting for a few days, Gu Shiqing's home visit leave was finally granted, and the couple can set off tomorrow.
Gu Shiqing had asked Xiao Zhang to buy two sleeper tickets in advance, and had specifically asked for a soft sleeper, which was more comfortable and private than a hard sleeper.
"We won't be staying for many days this time, so there's no need to prepare too many clothes. Just keep everything simple." Lin Banxia sat on the sofa, eating the sour plums pickled by Gu Shiqing for her, while giving instructions and asking Gu Shiqing to pack.
Just a few days ago, Lin Banxia suddenly started to like sour food.
When Gu Shiqing heard the news, he was really shocked.
Why was he so shocked? Because of "sour boy, spicy girl"!
On the day when Gu Shiqing heard the "bad news" that Lin Banxia wanted to eat sour food, he immediately had a dream.
In the dream, he was holding a fat boy in his arms. When he was coaxing the fat boy, the fat boy's urine suddenly splashed on his face.
Gu Shiqing: “…”
Despite this, since Lin Banxia wanted to eat sour food, Gu Shiqing still tried his best to make delicious food for her.
For example, Lin Banxia particularly likes pickled plums.
Li had almost finished packing. They each took two sets of clothes, and the rest were gifts for grandpa, some nutritional supplements and the like.
At this moment, Xiao Zhang's voice came from outside: "Captain, sister-in-law! Stop busying yourself and look who's here!"
