Yesterday, Nan Sheng brought back so many things that her family couldn’t finish them all. When Zhong Yanyan and the others were going home, they took quite a lot with them. Before leaving, she gave instructions to Nan Sheng.

“Don’t forget to send a share to your in – laws. Don’t just focus on your natal family.”

Getting along as a couple is an art. Although it seems that the son – in – law is not highly regarded by his in – laws, he must care about his parents in his heart. If Nan Sheng always subsidized her natal family and ignored her husband’s family, it would be strange if the couple’s relationship could be good.

“Don’t worry, Mom. Do you think your daughter is that kind of person? There isn’t much work at home now. You and Dad can come over often when you’re free. Think about spending the Spring Festival together. It’ll be so lively!”

Zhong Yanyan helplessly reached out and tapped her daughter on the forehead. It’s a joke for the natal family to spend the Spring Festival at the young couple’s home. But thinking that the children would go back to Rongcheng after the Spring Festival, she felt really reluctant in her heart.

When the children were young, she always hoped that they would grow up quickly. Now, Zhong Yanyan extremely wished to go back to the time when the children were little so that she could hold them in her arms and be close to them all the time.

“Got it. I’ll discuss it with your dad.”

After her parents left, Nan Sheng asked Lin Han to pick out some things and send them to the old house. “And those free – range eggs, send some to Yuting to nourish her body. She needs nutrition while breastfeeding the baby.”

Lin Han was still thinking about whether to go to the post office in the town to pick up the parcels. Unexpectedly, Little Qi delivered them to the door. “Sister Nan, I’m here to deliver your parcels!”

Nan Sheng and Lin Han went out to have a look. Goodness, the bicycle was fully loaded. He must have pushed the bike all the way here.

“Come in quickly, Little Qi. If you’re not busy, have lunch here. I’ll let you taste some special dishes from Rongcheng.”

Little Qi came here specifically to deliver things for Nan Sheng. He hadn’t seen her for a long time and smiled shyly. He didn’t reject the invitation to have lunch. Well, it was such an honor. Only a fool would refuse.

He helped Lin Han carry the parcels into the house. Nan Sheng didn’t need to do anything. She poured a bowl of hot sugar water for Little Qi.

“You came just in time. Help me divide these up. They are all specialties from Rongcheng. Everyone will get a share.”

After dividing the specialties, besides sending a share to his parents and brothers, Lin Han also didn’t forget the village head. Nan Sheng planned to let Little Qi take the shares for Xiao Yi and Shitou back.

Lin Guozheng and his wife were going to invite their in – laws to have lunch. When they heard that the guests had left, they complained a bit. “Why didn’t you keep your father – in – law and the others? It’s so impolite.”

Lin Han just ignored these mild complaints and turned around to go home.

At noon, Nan Sheng cooked the rabbit meat brought back from Xiaoling Village. It was spicy. She also cooked three special dishes from Rongcheng. Little Qi couldn’t handle spicy food. By the end of the meal, his mouth was red.

“Delicious. It’s really delicious.”

Even though the spiciness made his head hurt, Little Qi didn’t stop eating. He had already figured out how to show off to Xiao Yi and the others when he got back to the town. It was the meal cooked by Sister Nan herself! Delicious, love it, eat more!

After the meal, Little Qi didn’t stay long. He drank some tea and rushed back to the town with the specialties and a warm feeling all over his body. He was so happy that he could also get a share of the things Sister Nan sent from Rongcheng.

After washing the dishes, Lin Han found the thickest cotton – padded jacket for Nan Sheng and also equipped her with a scarf and gloves. Nan Sheng asked him with a smile, “Where are we going? Why do I need to wear so much?”

“Let’s go out for a walk while the kids are not around.”

Sizhe and Siqi went to their eldest uncle’s house to play with their little cousin in the morning and didn’t come back for lunch. Lin Han felt this rare quietness and suddenly got the idea to go out for a stroll.

Nan Sheng thought it was a good idea. Otherwise, she would always feel sleepy after a meal. So the two of them walked out of the yard hand in hand.

Looking at the frost on the ground, Nan Sheng said, “I still prefer the climate in the north. It has distinct seasons. We have heated kang beds in winter, so it’s not cold. Unlike in Rongcheng, it’s so cold and damp.”

“Then we’ll come back to the north to work in the future.”

Lin Han didn’t hesitate at all, although he was already used to the climate in Rongcheng.

As they were walking, they saw a little girl wearing thin clothes. The cotton – padded trousers on her were obviously too short, and she was shivering with cold. Nan Sheng thought she looked familiar but couldn’t remember her name.

The little girl looked up at them, then immediately lowered her head and trotted into the Li family’s yard. Nan Sheng suddenly realized, “This is Dali. Why doesn’t Aunt Li mend the child’s pants?”

Lin Han also knew about the incident when his wife was almost extorted for money. Although Dali’s mother was pitiful, her character was not easy to deal with. It was really a pity for the child, who was also not valued by her father.

“Let’s go.”

They couldn’t interfere in other people’s business.

They walked around the village and then headed back. It was so cold that Nan Sheng’s eyelashes were frozen into ice and stuck together, and her nose was red from the cold.

Not far away, there were many kids playing on the ice by the river. Some were skating, and some were playing with spinning tops. It was very lively.

Suddenly, Lin Han said, “I was really good at playing with spinning tops when I was a kid. Even my elder brother wasn’t as good as me.”

Nan Sheng looked up at the man beside her. He had a firm look in his eyes. It was hard to imagine what he was like when playing with spinning tops. After all, Lin Han had joined the army at a young age. This kind of happy and care – free life must be far away from him.

So, Nan Sheng pulled his arm and wanted to go to the river. “I don’t believe it. Show me how you play! I’m not very good at it. You can teach me.”

After walking a few steps, Nan Sheng couldn’t pull him anymore. She looked back dissatisfied and saw that Lin Han was looking at her tenderly.

“Don’t be in a hurry. I’ll make a spinning top for you at home, and then we’ll come back to play.”

Now Nan Sheng was satisfied and didn’t make a fuss anymore. She let Lin Han half – hug her and continued walking home.

When they got home, the two kids were there, and Sizhong was also there. “Uncle and Aunt, my dad asked me to come and ask when you’re free to come to our house for a meal.”

Eldest ​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‍Brother Lin’s meaning was clear. They must come for the meal, and they could decide the time themselves.

Lin Han looked at his wife. Nan Sheng thought that they were going to the town to see Secretary Ma tomorrow, and there would be nothing to do after they came back.

“Tomorrow evening or the day after tomorrow is okay. Tell your mom not to prepare too many dishes. Just enough to eat is fine.”

“Got it, Aunt. Then I’ll go back first.”

Nan Sheng didn’t refuse, and Sizhong was very happy. He thought that although Uncle and Aunt didn’t live in the village, they weren’t estranged from his family. He was also afraid that Aunt would be unhappy when she knew that he was going to join the army.

At this time, Lin Han also brought up this topic. “Honey, after we had dinner at the old house that day, my dad and elder brother said that Sicheng wanted to join the army. I agreed.”

Hearing this, Sizhe glanced at his mom, afraid that Nan Sheng would be unhappy. However, his worry was obviously unnecessary.

“Sicheng is still young. Can he bear the hardships in the military region? Don’t let the kid be too tired and stop growing.”

“At least he can get a monthly military allowance by joining the army. Although it’s hard work, it’s still better than farming at home. I’ve talked to Sicheng. He himself is willing to go!”

Hearing what her husband said, Nan Sheng didn’t say anything more. Giving a man a fish is not as good as teaching him how to fish. If Sicheng could make something of himself, the eldest brother’s family would have a backbone.

Lin Han felt a bit apologetic. Although it would only take a single word from him to get Sicheng into the military region.

“Honey, why don’t you ask your uncle? If he also wants the kid to join the army, take him along,” he said.

Nan Sheng understood what her husband was thinking, but she didn’t want to take on too much trouble. “You can’t force a deal. Let’s wait until they have that idea,” she replied.

Right now, she was more concerned about when she could finally get her spinning top.
