Chapter 166 Visiting Relatives in Shanghai (2)
Yun Angge and Qin Mingyue were both shocked and stared at Qin Lingnian in a daze.
"Are you silly with joy?!" Qin Lingnian pinched his wife's nose which was oozing with sweat, his eyes full of pride, as if asking...Wife, do you like this surprise? !
Yun Ange nodded heavily, his nose suddenly feeling sore, "Why did you give me such a big surprise?!"
This year, my eldest brother and second brother came to the military region with Juanjuan and Xiaomin to celebrate the New Year. They have met the four little babies and stayed with them for more than ten days.
However, we have never seen our grandparents and great-grandfather until now.
Although she would take a group photo of the four babies and send it to Shanghai every three months, seeing the photo would only increase the longing of their parents and grandfather.
She also wanted to take them to Shanghai, but the journey was long and it was inconvenient to take four children on a long journey. She had planned to take them back to Shanghai next summer vacation when the children were older.
Unexpectedly, Qin Lingnian prepared such a big surprise!
How could Yun Angge know that Qin Lingnian had been planning this surprise a year ago.
He reported to the chief, refusing all rewards this year and only asking him to grant him 20 days of home leave so that he could take his wife and children to visit his father-in-law, mother-in-law and grandfather.
Of course, he also had to bring his mother and sister with him.
It's not that he wanted them to accompany him to help take care of the children, but he wanted the two families to meet each other, and also to take the opportunity to take his mother and sister on a long journey to the big city to see the world.
Originally, he had planned to leave as soon as his wife had her summer vacation, but there was an important event on August 1st, and he, as the chief of staff, had to attend.
Time was running out, and Yun Angge had no time to be shocked, let alone thank Qin Lingnian. He pulled Qin Mingyue back to the house to pack her luggage.
Qin Lingnian was responsible for feeding the four children egg custard, while her mother continued to cook dinner.
Half an hour later, Yun Angge and Qin Mingyue hurriedly packed their luggage. After the family hurriedly finished their dinner, they quickly fed the children milk powder.
After the babies were able to eat soft complementary food for more than a month, Yun Angge weaned them. Now their staple food is milk powder, and their complementary food is egg custard, rice soup, and thin noodles.
"Oh, I almost forgot..." Mother Qin suddenly sighed anxiously, looking at Yun Angge with some guilt, "Angge, give Ruoruo to me, I'll feed her... You should go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some gifts this year, I don't know if it's closed now... Oh, forget it, our supply and marketing cooperative doesn't have anything good, wait until we get to Shanghai to buy..."
Mother Qin glared at Qin Lingnian with some complaints. "Hey, Lingnian, you gave Ange a big surprise, but you didn't give her time to prepare... This is the first time Ange has returned to her parents' home in so many years. It's your first time to meet your parents-in-law, and it's my first time to meet my in-laws. We can't even bring a decent gift..."
Just when Yun Angge was about to speak to defend Qin Lingnian, Qin Lingnian, who was feeding Qin Yunchen, smiled and said, "Mom, Angge, I'm ready..."
He had been planning this surprise in his mind last year and had made up his mind that he would take Ange and the four children to visit relatives in Shanghai this year, so he had started preparing the gifts long ago.
Just as his mother said, the supply and marketing cooperative in the military region did not have any decent gifts, so he bought some from the provincial capital when he went there on a mission last month.
Ten kilograms of the best red dates, ten kilograms of large walnuts, ten kilograms of white fungus, ten kilograms of wolfberries, and some Northwest specialty cakes.
In addition, he also bought a set of Zhongshan suits for Grandpa Yun and his father-in-law, and bought two pieces of "Dacron" cloth for his mother-in-law, allowing her to make a set of clothes herself.
Yes, a few years ago he asked a comrade from Northeast China to ask his father to buy him two ginsengs. Although it is not an old ginseng, it is said to be at least 20 years old.
Because I wanted to give my wife a surprise, I put all these things in Qi Zheng's dormitory.
Ange said that the three elders were not in good health, so he tried his best to buy some food that could nourish their bodies.
Compared with the Shanghai market, supplies in the Northwest are indeed limited, and his ability is also limited, so he can only buy these.
"What did you buy?!" Although Qin Lingnian was a safe person, his mother was still a little worried. "It wasn't cigarettes, alcohol, or cakes, was it? An Ge did say that my father-in-law and my master don't drink or smoke."
Although her family doesn't smoke and isn't that keen on drinking, the first choice for men as gifts is cigarettes and alcohol, followed by cakes and candies.
If you really prepare these, it would seem like you are not being very attentive.
Although the Yun family is no longer what they used to be, they have seen the world after all. Even though they have eaten and used the best things, even if they don't have anything they can hold, they still have to prepare it with care to let them feel their thoughts.
Qin Lingnian did not hesitate to tell him about the gifts he had prepared.
After hearing this, Qin's mother finally let go of her worries and gave her son a satisfied smile.
But Yun Angge was very moved. If it weren't for Qin's mother and Qin Mingyue, she would definitely hug Qin Lingnian and give her a deep kiss as a reward.
From Qin Lingnian, she learned a truth: men are not careless, but some men are unwilling to pay attention.
Look at how thoughtful and considerate this man in her family is, who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. He can do everything properly.
After feeding the four children, Qin Lingnian went to the military district to drive the car and went to tell his uncle and aunt. Yun Angge and Qin's mother washed the children's faces.
By the time everything was packed up and Shen Qingzhu and He Mei had said goodbye, it was already nine o'clock in the evening and it was completely dark.
The train is tomorrow morning, so they went to the city early to stay in a guesthouse for one night, so that they wouldn't have to get up in the middle of the night to travel.
It is midsummer now and the nights are much cooler.
Not long after the four kids got on the bus, they fell into a deep sleep without crying or making a fuss. They were very obedient.
It was almost one in the morning when they arrived in the city. Qin Lingnian and his family stayed in a guesthouse, while Qi Zheng drove back to the military area.
That night, only four of them slept soundly.
Not to mention Yun Angge, even Qin's mother and her two daughters were so excited and nervous that they couldn't sleep.
Even though Qin Lingnian was not afraid of the enemy's bullets, he was a little panicked when he was going to meet his mother-in-law.
Qin Lingnian bought a soft sleeper, and the whole family just fit in one room. Although there were many inconveniences on the train, this was already the best travel treatment.
After six days and nights, the train finally arrived in Shanghai at 6:10 this morning.
It rained last night, so it's cloudy in Shanghai today and not as hot as usual.
The cool breeze in the morning is very comfortable.
They would wake up at around 12:00 every day, so they were all awake at this moment, with their big eyes wide open, looking around this strange city curiously with their father, grandmother, and aunt.
