Everyone had dumplings for lunch, and Niupitang went out to play with his godmother and uncle Xiaohui for an afternoon.
The next morning, the family and Zhang Sheng took a bus back to Yangcheng.
The clothing wholesale store is doing good business, with people coming and going.
Jiang Tiedan gave them the key to the backyard and continued to greet the guests.
Niu Niu and Pi Pi followed Uncle Zhang Sheng to their room, and the two boys slept with him since they arrived.
The two of them refused to enter the room that was cleaned for them and just stayed here every night.
Lu Xiaotang and Xu Ning let Niupitang play with Zhang Sheng at home.
The two of them went out and bought the things they would take tomorrow.
Zhang Sheng didn't know what they were doing outside, and thought they had something to do, so he didn't pay much attention and just stayed at home with the toffee.
It was not until they came back with lots of bags that I realized they were buying gifts for his girlfriend's house the next day.
His eyes were slightly red, but he said nothing. Since his parents passed away, no one had thought about this for him.
When he was in the army, his two brothers would write to him and ask him to send money, either explicitly or implicitly.
As he limped back, the two men asked how much pension the army would give him.
He listened to the battalion commander and didn't spend a penny. Seeing that they could not get any benefit from him, the two men separated from him.
He didn't care. He felt more comfortable living alone, so he carried his small luggage and went to his old house.
The people from the Armed Forces Department also helped him repair the yard. He was able to earn eight work points a day and live a decent life.
Matchmakers in the village introduced him to potential partners, but he always refused.
The few work points he earned were just enough to support himself, and if he married a girl, she would have to suffer with him.
When he was dating Yuling, he hesitated for a long time, fearing that he would not be able to bring her happiness.
If it weren't for Yuling's insistence, the two of them would never have been together.
Lu Xiaotang brought those things into the house and placed them on the table in the main room.
The table was filled with various candies and snacks, canned food, tea, cigarettes, wine, fruits, and a large bag, but no one knew what was inside.
Xu Ning smiled and said, "Your brother and I have also ordered a large pork leg. We will pick it up tomorrow morning.
While we're there, let's go to the store and pick up a few more clothes for Yuling and her family. ”
Zhang Sheng looked at the pile of things on the table, then looked at Brother Lu and his wife, who were sorting them out and instructing him.
He choked up and said, "Thank you, Brother Lu, thank you, sister-in-law."
Lu Xiaotang paused while packing his things, glanced at him, and said gently, "Okay, go and play with Niupitang! Your sister-in-law and I will clean up here."
Zhang Sheng, who was used to the battalion commander giving them orders, felt a little uncomfortable when he heard such gentle words and touched the goose bumps on his arms.
This action was seen by Lu Xiaotang, who glared at him and said angrily: "You can get out now."
Zhang Sheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was still comfortable to hear the battalion commander talking in this way. He stood at attention and said, "Yes, battalion commander." After that, he went out with the sticky candy.
Xu Ning waited until they left before he burst out laughing.
"You were so strict in the army before that now even a normal word from you gives people goose bumps."
Lu Xiaotang thought of Zhang Sheng's expression just now and felt helpless. If he was not strict in the army, how could he suppress these arrogant brats?
He held two cans of tea leaves and said, "Wife, you like to drink tea, why don't you keep these tea leaves? I'll go out and buy something else to add to the tea later."
When they went to the department store, they saw Baiyun Tea for sale there and planned to buy some more to take back, but there were only these two boxes left.
Xu Ning thought about it and realized that Baiyun Tea was not that rare in Guangdong Province, so he smiled and said, "Okay, let's keep it. We don't have to go out and buy anything else. I'll get a watch out later and bring it to Yuling tomorrow."
"Okay, wife, if you like this tea, I'll look for it somewhere else tomorrow and we can bring some back."
Xu Ning smiled and said, "Okay, it's better to buy more. Dad and the others like to drink tea. I'll give some to them when I get back."
She sorted out the things she bought and said, "You can discuss with Zhang Sheng later, when does he plan to set the wedding date?
Since Yuling wanted to be transferred to An County for work, she asked Wei Dajun to clean up the small yard as their wedding house.
When the time comes, we will buy them some furniture and some silver coins, which will be a gift from us as their brother and sister-in-law. ”
Lu Xiaotang asked, "Is it the courtyard by the river?"
"Yes, that's the one. Next time we come here, we will transfer the house to Zhang Sheng.
Seeing that he has houses in both Yangcheng and Anxian, the girl's family should feel at ease to marry their daughter to him. ”
