No matter how reluctant Lu Xiaotang was to leave or how worried he was about his family, he had to return to the army.
Xu An was helping him prepare food for the journey in the kitchen. As the weather was hot now, he didn't dare to bring too much.
In the evening, Mr. and Mrs. Lu and Mr. and Mrs. Xu all came. After seeing the children, Mr. Xu and Mr. Lu went to Xu An's room to talk.
Xu Ning was feeding Tangtang milk, while Lu Ma and Xu Ma were holding Niu Niu and Pi Pi respectively, looking very cute.
Xu Mo looked at this and that, and said to Xu Ning, "Sister, let me hold Tangtang for a while."
Mother Xu hurriedly said, "Xiao Mo, stop hugging me. You are weak. Don't drop Tangtang again."
Mother Lu also said, "Xiao Mo, I'll let you hold me when you grow up."
Xu Mo said angrily, "How am I weak? I can carry a basket of pig grass, so why can't I hold a little kid?
Since you two came, you have been holding them and won't let go, not even letting others look at them. They are your grandchildren, but they are also my nephews.
I, as your uncle, can't even hug you, you two are so domineering, huh. ”
His words made several people laugh and cry.
Xu Ning smiled and said, "Xiao Mo, your niece is full. Come, let me give you a hug."
Xu Mo immediately said with a smile, "Hey, my niece is full. Come and let your uncle hug her."
Seeing his behavior, Xu Ma laughed and scolded him, "Slow down, don't drop Tangtang."
Xu Mo said, "My dear mother, even if I hit myself, I can't hit my niece. Just put your mind at ease and don't worry."
Father Lu and Father Xu also said to Lu Xiaotang, "Xiaotang, you can follow the army with your current position, right?"
Lu Xiaotang nodded and said, "Okay, when I came here this time, our leader also mentioned this to me.
Xiao Ning and I have discussed this, but the child is too young, so we can only wait for two years. ”
They both sighed and said, yes! It’s too far and it’s inconvenient to take a bus. If something happens to the child on the way, there will be no place to regret.
Xu Ning was not afraid of the inconvenience on the road. She just felt that her parents were here and she would take the college entrance examination in two years. She didn't want to go back and forth, so it would be better to go back to the city directly when the time comes.
After everyone left, Lu Xiaotang looked at the children, then looked at his wife, and sighed in his heart.
Now that he's gone, the family has to rely on his wife alone to support it, and there are three young children to take care of.
Xu Ning saw that he was still sitting there and said, "Go to bed early! You have to get up early to catch the bus tomorrow."
He held the person in his arms and kissed him, "Thank you for your hard work."
Xu Ning smiled and said, "Why is it so hard? The firewood at home has been chopped, the coal briquettes have been made, the meat has been prepared for us, and we have no shortage of money.
Now that I don't have to go to work, I just take care of the children at home, and my mom and others come over to help take care of them in the evening.
Xiao An has grown up now and I don’t have to worry about anything. Everything at home is fine. Do you think anyone in the village doesn’t envy me? ”
Lu Xiaotang hugged the person tightly and was silent for a long time.
She had fallen asleep, and the sound of her even breathing could be heard in my arms.
He looked at her intently through the little starlight that shone through the crack in the door.
When Xu Ning woke up in the middle of the night, she saw that he was still looking at her with his eyes open.
He asked in surprise, "Are you still awake? Are Niu Niu and Pi Pi awake?"
Lu Xiaotang smiled and said, "No, the two boys are very well behaved. I just woke up too."
Xu Ning saw that his eyes were clear, not like he had just woken up, so he asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you going back to the army soon and can't bear to leave us?"
He sighed, stroked her soft hair, and said, "I feel bad thinking about you taking care of several children at home alone. Xiao Ning, what do you think about me changing my job and coming here?"
Xu Ning said in surprise, "You are doing well in the army, why do you want to retire just to come back and take care of me and the children?"
Seeing that he didn't say anything, she thought for a while and said, "Didn't you say that the college entrance examination would be restored? Why don't we wait another two years? If the situation is still the same by then, the child will be older by then, and I will take the child to join the army."
Lu Xiaotang thought of the books he had read and said, "Then wait another two years. If it's still like this, I'll transfer to this job and come here. I can take care of your mother and the elders as well."
Seeing that he had convinced him, Xu Ning secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Can we go to bed now?"
Lu Xiaotang pulled the person into his arms and said with a smile, "Go to sleep!"
