We boarded the train in the early morning frost and arrived at Seoul Railway Station at around two o'clock in the afternoon.
"Linglong, Mom."
As soon as they got off the car with their luggage, Lu Jingchuan, dressed in military uniform, rushed up to them and picked up the heaviest luggage in Gong Linglong's hand.
This was the first time Gong Linglong saw him in a military uniform. The olive green suit matched his figure perfectly, making him look even more handsome and elegant. She smiled brightly, "Deputy Captain Lu, handsome!"
As soon as his wife opened her mouth and praised him, Lu Jingchuan was filled with joy and couldn't suppress the curve of his mouth.
"Mother-in-law, Linglong."
A bright and gentle voice interrupted the communication between the two people.
The mother and daughter both turned their heads to look at the person who came. Gong Linglong confirmed at a glance that it was her mother-in-law. She looked about 40% like her aunt, with a similar height, figure and temperament.
Behind her was a young man who looked very similar to Lu Jingchuan, but was a little thinner. This was her brother-in-law Lu Jingyang.
Lu Jingchuan also immediately introduced: "Linglong, this is mom and my younger brother."
"mom!"
Gong Linglong immediately called out to the person politely, and her voice was so natural, without any shyness or nervousness.
"Hey, Linglong."
Zhou Lanqin responded loudly. She had received a photo of her daughter-in-law in the mail from her son in Kyoto earlier, and had praised her beauty at the time. After meeting her today, she realized she was even more beautiful in person. She beamed and said, "Our Linglong is so beautiful, more beautiful than a flower."
"Mother-in-law, please don't praise her like that. She can't stand being praised." Bai Shuixian continued with a smile.
Zhou Lanqin smiled and walked forward to shake her hand, greeting her warmly and politely: "Mother-in-law, thank you very much for recognizing my Jingchuan family and thank you for marrying your precious daughter into our family."
"Mother-in-law, Jingchuan is very outstanding. It is a blessing for Linglong to marry him." Bai Shuixian said modestly.
Zhou Lanqin looked at the two children with a smile, expressing her genuine joy: "Both children are outstanding and excellent. They are a perfect match. It's a destiny destined for us."
After the two elders exchanged greetings, Gong Linglong took the initiative to speak to her brother-in-law, "Jingyang, hello."
"Hello, sister-in-law."
Lu Jingyang politely extended his hand to shake her hand and also greeted the elder: "Aunt Bai, hello, I am Lu Jingyang, nice to meet you."
"Hello, Jingyang."
Bai Shuixian shook his hand and smiled at Zhou Lanqin, "Your mother-in-law is so lucky. Both of your children are so handsome and outstanding. They are really the envy of others."
"It's my mother-in-law who thinks highly of them." Zhou Lanqin said with a smile.
After the two sides exchanged greetings, Lu Jingchuan spoke at the right time: "Mom, Linglong and Mom must have had a hard time riding the train. We haven't had lunch yet. Let's go to the state-owned restaurant and eat. Let's talk while we eat."
"Okay. Mother-in-law, come, let me help you carry your luggage. You were injured before and your body has just recovered. Don't get tired carrying heavy things." Zhou Lanqin was a capable person. As she spoke, she took away all the luggage from Bai Shuixian's hands.
Lu Jingchuan drove a jeep to pick them up. The car stopped outside the station. He put all the luggage in the trunk and beckoned them to get in. "Linglong, you and Mom and the others sit in the back. There's a thermos on the seat with hot ginger sugar water in it. You and Mom should drink some to get rid of the cold."
Seeing how attentive and considerate he was, Gong Linglong couldn't help but tease him, "Oh, my luck has really turned around! I ended up meeting a great darling on a blind date."
Lu Jingchuan: "..."
Can't we talk about this when we get home?
"Ha ha..."
Zhou Lanqin and Lu Jingyang, mother and son, had not yet gotten into the car, but they all burst into laughter when they heard this.
Bai Shuixian was also smiling, patting her daughter with a smile, her eyes full of smiles: "Get in the car!"
Gong Linglong was so busy talking that she forgot her mother-in-law and brother-in-law were present. However, she didn't regret saying it, let alone feel ashamed. She even pushed Lu Jingchuan and said, "My dear, go drive the car. I'm hungry."
Lu Jingchuan grinded his back teeth back and forth, neither smiling nor not smiling.
The mouth of his tough little wife...
Lu Jingyang, who was sitting in the passenger seat, laughed so hard that his shoulders twitched. After Lu Jingchuan opened the door and got in, he said with a smile, "Big darling brother, drive quickly. I'm hungry too."
"Shut up."
Lu Jingchuan punched him, and why did he feel so disgusted and nauseous when he called him "big baby"?
His young wife’s voice sounds nice, but she shouldn’t shout outside.
Gong Linglong sat between the two mothers in the back row, holding the ginger syrup prepared for her by the man in her left hand, and her right hand was stuffed with sesame cakes and glutinous rice noodles by her mother-in-law.
"Linglong, mother-in-law, you should eat something first, don't go hungry."
Gong Linglong accepted it with a smile, shared some with her mother, took out the oranges from her bag, and gave one each to her mother-in-law and her husband's brother-in-law. "Mom, Jingge, Jingyang, these oranges are very sweet, not sour at all. You can try some to fill your stomachs."
These are oranges produced in the space. They taste sweeter than those bought outside. Both mother and daughter like to eat them.
There are five orange trees planted in the space, as well as a lot of apple trees and mandarin oranges. The fruits are densely packed. Now there is a pile of ripe fruits in the corner. She also plans to go to Seoul to find a way to sell some of them.
"Well, this orange is good, delicious."
Zhou Lanqin usually doesn't like sour food, but the orange her daughter-in-law gave her today is very much to her liking. She even broke off two slices for her to eat, and said, "Linglong, come here, have some too."
"Mom, you eat it. I have more in my bag. This egg cake is delicious. You should have some too." Gong Linglong said with a smile.
"You like egg cakes, mom will buy some for you later."
She brought this egg cake from Kyoto and bought it from a state-owned old-fashioned pastry shop. She thought that girls would like to eat soft and sweet pastries, so she brought some more this time.
Seeing that her daughter-in-law really liked it, Zhou Lanqin was very happy. She grabbed two more from the bag and stuffed them into her and her mother-in-law's hands.
Lu Jingchuan held the steering wheel with one hand and peeled an orange with the other, eating half of it in one bite. Seeing that his wife and mother were getting along well and were quickly feeding each other, he said to them with a smile, "Linglong, our wedding is scheduled for tomorrow. You and Mom will stay at the city guesthouse tonight. I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."
"Okay, you can arrange it."
Gong Linglong had no objection and only asked, "How far is it from the city to the army?"
"It's nearly twenty miles. The army has a shuttle bus that comes to the city in the morning. It runs twice a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. I'll tell you more about it when we get to the family quarters."
"good."
Lu Jingchuan stepped on the accelerator and drove to the gate of the state-owned restaurant. After parking the car, he led everyone to order food and eat. He ordered several special dishes from Seoul.
Zhou Lanqin and her sister Zhou Lanping have similar personalities. They are both generous, talkative, and very measured in their words. Although it was their first meeting with Bai Shuixian, they got along very well and started chatting as soon as they sat down.
Lu Jingyang's personality is similar to Lu Jingchuan's. Perhaps due to his profession, he is not a talkative person and is very rigorous in what he says.
Five people sat around a table, chatting about family matters, and the atmosphere was more harmonious and joyful than expected.
