About an hour later, Lu Qingshan came outside calling his father to go to work.
Then he heard his father say: "You guys go, I won't go. I will ask the captain to get a letter of introduction. Tomorrow your mother and I will follow Xiaoyan and the others to the army."
"Dad, are you and my mom really going to go? You don't care about this family at all?" Chen Juan came out and heard her father-in-law say this, her face full of disbelief.
"What does this family care about? We are both old. Can't we go to the city with your sister to enjoy a few days of comfort?" Father Lu looked at his eldest daughter-in-law's gloomy face, and just raised his eyelids slightly, and said in a calm voice
"Dad, that's not what I meant. It's almost the busy season for farming. Gangzi and Shitou don't go to school anymore. I'm worried about them being alone at home, so I was wondering if you two could help me look after them?" Chen Juan's face turned red at what her father-in-law said, but she still explained.
"Go out and take a look. There are children everywhere on the street. Who needs an old man to look after them?" Father Lu didn't want to embarrass his eldest daughter-in-law, so he looked at his eldest son and said, "After your mother and I leave this time, we can only come back after your younger sister gives birth.
You can take good care of this family by yourself. I will write to you when I get there. If you have any problems at home, you can write to me according to the address on the letter."
"Dad, don't worry. I'm old enough now, I can definitely take good care of the family." Lu Qingshan had been spoiling his sister since he was a child, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with his parents taking care of his little sister.
I don't understand either. His parents said they were going to take care of his younger sister, but in fact they are just going to enjoy themselves. Why is his wife unhappy?
Seeing her husband say this, Chen Juan had no choice but to stamp her feet, glare at her man, and walk out the door to go to work.
Lu Qingyan was in the room listening carefully to the voices outside. Her little ears moved, which made Gu Mingze want to take a bite.
"What are you doing?" Lu Qingyan noticed Gu Mingze's strangeness and asked with her head raised.
"Nothing." Gu Mingze shook his head, lowered his head and kissed her.
"Hmm~" Lu Qingyan stretched out her hands and punched the man's back hard, wishing she could beat him to death.
"It's only been over a month. How long can I endure this?" Gu Mingze sighed as he leaned his head on his wife's shoulder after kissing her.
"When you get back to the army and get busy, you won't remember this anymore." Lu Qingyan looked at the man and said with a teasing look on her face.
"You little heartless thing, wait until you give birth to the baby and see how I punish you." Gu Mingze raised his head slightly, bit his wife's white earlobe, panting.
"Don't~, someone else will come in later." Lu Qingyan was bitten so hard that she felt weak all over. She could only whisper to the man to let her go.
"Wife, our family got a building this time. Because it was newly built, we were able to catch it in time, so we got a slightly larger house." Gu Mingze also knew that he couldn't make too much trouble, so he said that the house he got was
"Oh? How big is it?" Lu Qingyan raised her eyebrows and asked
"There are two rooms, a living room, a toilet, and a kitchen. It doesn't sound big, but the rooms in the house are much bigger than those in Liao Province, but..." Gu Mingze hesitated as he spoke, not knowing how to continue.
"What is it? Why don't you just say it? Why don't you just stop talking halfway? What do you mean?" Lu Qingyan started to get a little impatient when she saw the man hesitating.
"Our place is very remote, and there are not many soldiers accompanying the army. It is inconvenient for you to buy anything, and the conditions are very harsh. I don't know if you can bear it when you go there." Gu Mingze started to worry when he thought about that desolate place. He was afraid that his wife would ask to come back after staying there for two days.
"It's nothing. It's inconvenient to buy things. Let's just stay in the city and buy everything we can. That way, even if the conditions are tough, we can still cope with it." Lu Qingyan thought that as long as the family could be together, she could hold on even if the conditions were tough.
"Okay, I've issued another cloth coupon this month. When we leave tomorrow, we'll buy cloth when we pass through the city. We should also prepare diapers for the baby and other things." Gu Mingze was not transferred to an ordinary unit this time. He was expected to have missions every now and then after he returned.
So while he is still at home, I bought everything I needed to save him the trouble of going back and forth with his wife and father-in-law to buy things.
"Yeah, let's buy them all. When we get home and have nothing to do, let mom make them right away." When Lu Qingyan heard that they were preparing diapers now, she calculated what else she needed to prepare.
"Don't think about it. Ask mom tomorrow if she needs anything, and we'll buy it then. Your task now is to take care of your health, and leave the rest to us." Seeing his wife counting on her fingers, Gu Mingze pushed her down on the kang and let her rest.
"Got it." Lu Qingyan also felt sleepy at the moment, so she smiled and closed her eyes.
Gu Mingze quietly walked out, came to Father Lu's room, knocked on the door, walked in and asked: "Dad and Mom, is there anything I can help you with?"
"You are not needed. We don't have anything to bring except some clothes. You should go back to your room and rest. You will be tired from driving tomorrow." Mother Lu was able to sit up, so she sat on the kang and packed clothes.
"By the way, Mingze, have you and Qingyan obtained your marriage certificate? When the child is born, he needs to register the household registration." Father Lu was cleaning up when he saw the household registration book and asked.
"Oh, I've been so busy lately that I almost forgot about it. If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have remembered it. The marriage certificate is in my pocket. When we go to the county town tomorrow, Xiaoyan and I will pick it up." Gu Mingze felt extremely regretful when he heard what his father-in-law said.
Why didn't I think of it? If I had thought of it, I could have found a day with good weather to go there. Why go there like now, just passing by? It has no commemorative significance at all.
"Then you have to hurry up and not forget it again." Fearing that his son-in-law would forget again, Father Lu looked at his wife and said, "Old woman, you should remember it too. When you go to the county town tomorrow, you can remind them."
"I know. I'll keep it in mind. I won't forget it." Mother Lu also knew that this was a big deal, so she took it to heart.
Gu Mingze was now filled with remorse and had no intention of packing things for his father-in-law and the others. He turned around and went back to the house dejectedly.
Lu Qingyan hadn't slept yet. She opened her eyes after hearing the noise and saw Gu Mingze, who looked dispirited. She asked in confusion, "You were fine just now. How come you are like this after going out?"
"Wife, we haven't got our marriage certificate yet. I almost forgot about it. If dad hadn't mentioned it just now, I wouldn't have remembered it." Gu Mingze said dejectedly as he sat next to her.
"It's nothing. It's not too late to think about it now. When I leave tomorrow, I can pass by the commune or town and pick it up. Isn't it all over?" Lu Qingyan thought it was a big deal. After hearing about it, she said lightly.
"Such a big thing is not important..."
