Chapter 182： Giving gifts openly

Chapter 182 Giving gifts openly

Time flies and it’s already mid-January. The imperial capital has ushered in the second snow of early winter, and everything is completely white.

Lu Nan and the others finished a month of training and were preparing to go to Yun Province to participate in exercises. Su Weiguo and his leadership team appeared at the training ground to boost morale.

After the speech, the soldiers packed their bags and lined up to board the plane in an orderly manner. Su Weiguo called Lu Nan, "Lu Nan."

“Tao.” Lu Nan responded loudly, trotted up to Su Weiguo and saluted.

"I have already communicated with Yun Province about your situation. You should bring your medicine and keep taking it. Don't forget about the medicine because of the competition. You will finally get back on your feet. You must not make any mistakes again."

"Understood." Lu Nan was more active than anyone else about taking medicine. He had to be worthy of his wife, and he didn't want to sit in a wheelchair for the rest of his life and always look up to his little wife.

"Here! This is what your family sent you." Su Weiguo took out two sweaters from his briefcase and handed them to Lu Nan. Logically speaking, even the leader cannot open the packages of his subordinates casually.

Su Weiguo dared to open it because the package was sent by his precious daughter. "I didn't mean to open your package. You have been participating in training this month. I was worried that your family sent you something important." I’ll help you dismantle it.”

Su Weiguo said this a bit sourly, alas! He also wants daughter brand sweaters.

Lu Nan didn't say anything. He opened the sweater and raised the corners of his lips unconsciously. His little daughter-in-law was so cute. She actually showed off the word "南" and a few small flowers on the collar of the sweater.

"Here! There is another letter. You read it first. After reading it, I will take it back for you and put it in your office. You can take the sweater with you, but not the letter."

"Thank you, Chief." Lu Nan took the letter and opened it. The content of the letter was very simple. Ning Xi just told Lu Nan that it was her first time knitting a sweater, and maybe she wasn't very good at it. It took her a month to knit it. One piece, and the other piece was knitted by his mother-in-law.

After reading the letter, the smile on Lu Nan's face deepened. He handed the letter and another sweater to Su Weiguo, "Chief, what are you talking about? I'm not afraid of the cold. One sweater is enough. If you don't If you don’t like this sweater, I’ll give it to you.”

Lu Nan's operation immediately confused everyone. The commander of the first battalion was stunned for a few seconds, then walked to Lu Nan with a straight face and warned in a low voice, "Lu Nan, what are you doing? Giving gifts in front of so many leaders, you I don’t want to live anymore.”

"Ahem! Report to the battalion commander that this is not a gift. These two sweaters were sent to me by my wife. She was not very good at knitting sweaters for the first time. It took her a month to knit only one sweater. She was worried that I would be cold, so I also asked someone to help me knit one. I don’t usually wear sweaters, but I will definitely wear the sweater that my wife took so much effort to knit for me.”

"As for the sweater she asked someone to help me knit, I wouldn't wear it even if I kept it. I thought that Shouchang's figure was similar to mine, and the chief had also helped to deliver the things, so I gave the sweater to Shouchang. The battalion commander and we are of similar stature, so you can wear that sweater. If the commander or commander doesn’t need it, you can take it out and wear it.”

Lu Nan explained with a nonchalant expression, and his attitude of not even caring who the other sweater was given to made everyone believe that he did not intend to give Su Weiguo a gift.

The battalion commander was finally relieved and said half-jokingly, "You gave it to the chief and the chief. I don't dare to fight with the chief and the chief. If you don't want to wear it, I can get the one in your hand."

“That’s not possible. This is a love brand sweater that my wife knitted for me. I have to keep it for myself.” Lu Nan didn’t let anyone touch the sweater. He quickly took off his backpack and put the sweater back into the backpack.

“You dare to think of me as a scrap collector!” Su Weiguo laughed and held the sweater behind his back, with an indifferent attitude, but the hand holding the sweater tightened and tightened.

It is made by someone to weave it.

Who knitted it?

It must have been knitted by Ning Xiuhe, so Lu Nan couldn't wait to give him the sweater.

Um! Yes, this son-in-law is still very wise, and it is not in vain that he has spent so much time paving the way for him.

After the soldiers registered and the leadership team left in their cars, Su Weiguo walked into Lu Nan's office with a sweater and a letter. He took a look outside to make sure there was no one, and hurriedly opened the letter.

Look! He knew that the sweater in his hand was knitted by her.     Though he doesn't need a sweater either.

Although she didn't knit it specially for him.

But he has to wear this sweater. She knitted it stitch by stitch, and it smells like her.

Jiangcheng, Yao Township.

The semester's courses have ended, and the weather is getting colder and colder. Ning Xi stays at home every day, either hiding under the quilt or hugging the oven.

She is afraid of the cold, especially this year. She has been sleeping in Ning Xiuhe's house recently. If she sleeps alone, her hands and feet will not be warm all night.

At this time, she really wanted to go to the north. Although it was cold in the north, every household in the north had a kang. As long as the kang was burned, the quilt would be warm and her hands and feet would not be cold all night.

There is also Lu Nan in the north. With him helping her warm the bed, she will definitely not be cold.

Ning Xiuhe walked into the room carrying a bowl of steaming fish soup and handed it to Ning Xi, "Drink the soup to keep yourself warm."

“Thank you, Mom.” Ning Xi took the bowl and drank up the milky-white fish soup in a few sips. “The fish soup made by Mom is really delicious.”

“You know how to say nice things.” Ning Xiuhe smiled and scratched her daughter’s nose. “Who in our family doesn’t know that you are the master chef and the food you cook is the most delicious.”

“Can it be the same? The food cooked by mom tastes delicious.”

“Oh! What about the one made by Lu Nan? What does it taste like?”

Shuo Dalunan, the smile on Ning Xi's face froze. It had been more than a month, and he didn't know if his exercise was over, and he still hadn't called home.

Ning Xiuhe took the bowl and couldn't help but asked, "Is he really not coming back for the New Year?"

"I can't come back. I said I have to go out to participate in some kind of drill. When the drill is over, I might be able to come back after the Chinese New Year." Ning Xi smiled and pulled the quilt to wrap herself up. "Mom, have you packed my luggage for me?" Please bring me a change of clothes by the way!"

“Look, you feel cold in bed and you still have to go out. Just buy a machine and let your second brother and Xiao Zhou and his wife go there. It might be colder in Su City than here. How can you bear it?”

“Mom, those machines are imported and all the words on them are in English. They can’t understand them. They will be fooled by others and the money spent on them will be wasted if they don’t meet the requirements.”

"Yes, yes, you are the only one who makes sense." Ning Xiuhe glared at Ning Xi who carried the empty bowl and went out. After a while, she brought a basin of foot-washing water and placed it next to the bed. "First, burn your feet before going to bed."

“Okay!” Ning Xi responded obediently and put her feet in the footbath to warm them.

Ning Xiuhe shook her head and walked out of the room to get clothes for Ning Xi. Ning Xi and Zhou Tong and his wife were going to Su City to see the machine tomorrow. From yesterday to today, she still couldn't convince Ning Xi not to go to Su City. Although Ning Xi once again mentioned not to go to Su City, she had already thought about it and had no intention of stopping Ning Xi. She even helped Ning Xi pack her luggage.
