At night, the Lu family's house was brightly lit, and Ning Xiuhe and Wang Xiuqin were busy all afternoon preparing two tables of dishes.
Everyone sat around and ate together in a lively manner.
The meal ended at ten o'clock. When Ning Xiuhe finished washing the dishes and came out, Ning Xi was still sitting in the yard.
Ning Xiuhe smiled and asked, "Why don't you go to bed?"
“Mom, a gift.” Ning Xi took out a box and handed it to Ning Xiuhe.
"It's your birthday today. What are you going to give your mother as a gift?" Ning Xiuhe wiped her hands with her apron and took the box with a smile. She opened it and immediately found a jade bracelet lying on it.
"The child's birthday is also a difficult day for the mother." Ning Xi picked up the jade bracelet and put it on Ning Xiuhe. She walked behind Ning Xiuhe and hugged her gently. "Thank you for bringing me to this world in the past twenty-one years, mother. I love you."
Ning Xiuhe burst into tears, "Xi'er, mother loves you too."
Mother and daughter hugged each other for a while, and a necklace appeared in Ning Xi's hand like a magic trick. She put the necklace around Ning Xiuhe's neck.
Ning Xiuhe took the pendant on the necklace and opened it gently. She was a little dazed when she saw the sweet smile of herself in the photo and the man who made her heart miss.
“Mom, I have gained weight and cannot wear a necklace, and Lu Nan has prepared a particularly beautiful necklace for me, so you should keep this necklace yourself.”
After a while, Ning Xiuhe closed the pendant and asked with a smile, "Xiaonan drank wine today, will you bring the little one to sleep in my room?"
"Well! The two little guys are asleep and put on your bed. I'll go into the room to see Brother Nan and come over."
Ning Xi returned to the house with a glass of warm water. Lu Nan had already laid down on the bed. He had drank a lot today. When he entered the house at night, Lu Bei and Zhou Jin helped him in.
As soon as Ning Xi walked to the bed, the person on the bed stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms. Some of the water in the cup also spilled on the quilt. "Let go, the water will spill."
Lu Nan opened his eyes, took the quilt from her hand and put it on the table. He hugged her and turned her over on the bed. He rested his head on her and asked lazily, "Is the child asleep?"
“They all fell asleep.”
Lu Nan rubbed her body, "Oh! There are still ten days left, it's hard to endure."
“What?” Ning Xi didn’t understand what he said, so she asked again.
Lu Nan raised his head and looked at her with aggrieved expression, "I said I'm dying. I haven't loved you properly in half a year."
Ning Xi gave him a roll of her eyes, "He's a father, but he's not a decent one yet."
"I am a father, not a monk. I need you, especially."
"Didn't you give your salary card to mom? Where did you get the money to buy me a gift today?" This person became more and more explicit as he talked. She didn't know what he would say if she didn't change the subject.
"I have a side job, and I have an income of several thousand yuan every month. The card I gave to my mother is from that income. I have no use for the money in the army, so I saved all my salary to buy you a gift. But I’ve used it all today and there’s not even a penny left.”
Lu Nan rubbed against her a few times, and his voice was soft and crying, "Daughter-in-law, your husband doesn't even have money for cigarettes. Wife, you have to give your husband some pocket money."
"Yeah! I'll get it for you tomorrow." Ning Xi raised her hand and hooked his neck and asked with a smile, "You're still doing your side job behind my back?" Lu Nan smiled and kissed her on the lips, "I'm not going behind your back. I dare not say that I bought the small supermarket in our army. The principal of the small supermarket was given to me by the chief. If I tell you this, you will definitely ask me where the money came from. If I say it was given by the chief, then you must ask why the chief gave me the money, and then gave me the money and asked me to pay it back to the chief.”
"The chief didn't let me pay back the money. He said I could pay him back and give him my daughter as well. If you give me the money, what do you want me to do? Pay him back or not. If I pay him back, my wife will not be there." If I don’t pay it back, I’m lying to you. You’d be angry if you knew it.”
After listening to his rambling explanation, Ning Xi reached out and touched it and asked with a smile, "Are you very free? You still have time to go to the supermarket."
“Daughter-in-law, our army is far away from the city. Ordinary soldiers who want to leave the army have to wait until they are on vacation. They can only buy things in the army’s supermarket. You can think about the considerable daily income from our supermarket.”
“He helped you buy the supermarket again?” Not everyone can open this kind of business that is sure to make a profit, and Lu Nan definitely can’t rent it.
“Obviously, the supermarket is rented by the chief, and I was just asked by him to help.”
Ning Xi stayed in the house for a long time. When she arrived at Ning Xiuhe's room, Ning Xiuhe was almost asleep. When she heard the noise, she opened her eyes and glanced at her daughter.
Waiting for her daughter to lie down, Ning Xiuhe said earnestly, "Xi'er, mom is not trying to stop you. You still have to listen to the doctor's words. Xiaonan is a man who doesn't understand propriety, but your body is your own. You can't hurt yourself just because you are happy." ”
Ning Xi blushed. When her mother saw her coming over so late, she thought she had something to do with Lu Nan. "Ahem! Mom, Brother Nan and I just talked for a while. Really, we just talked for a while."
"Xi'er, my mother was young too." Ning Xi's explanation became a cover-up for embarrassment in Ning Xiuhe's eyes. She gently touched Ning Xi's head, "It is inevitable that young people will be unable to control themselves. , but your body is more important than anything else. If you don’t know how to control it now, you will regret it when you get older.”
"Mom, really not." Ning Xi turned around and hugged Ning Xiuhe's arm. In fact, it was nothing wrong with being misunderstood. She and Lu Nan were husband and wife, and it was not a shameful thing for a husband and wife to live as husband and wife. , she was just afraid that Ning Xiuhe would misunderstand Lu Nan.
"Brother Nan won't mess around. He knows that messing around at this time is hurting me. He cares about my body more than I care about myself. I really just talked to him for a while. He didn't buy jewelry for me today. Well! He spent several thousand, and his salary card is with you! I asked him where he got the money to buy the jewelry..."
After listening to Ning Xi's explanation, Ning Xiuhe's frown finally relaxed, and her mood immediately improved. Not only was her son-in-law not a tiger's brain, but he also knew how to make money as a soldier in the army.
"I just said why there is so much money in his salary card. I thought the army really had such good treatment."
“How good are the benefits in the army? Even though they look glamorous, some people’s wages may not be as high as those of workers in our factory!”
Ning Xiuhe strongly disagreed with Ning Xi's words, "Girl, that's not glamorous, that's honor. It's an honor that ordinary people can't get in their lifetime."
"Mom, I know, I'm just talking, just talking." Ning Xi looked at Ning Xiuhe with a smile. She was once again sure that Ning Xiuhe's thoughts about Su Weiguo had never changed.
Ning Xiuhe admired and respected soldiers more than ordinary people because of Su Weiguo, so even if her daughter said something, she would subconsciously refute and correct her.
This was also true of her in her previous life.
I saw a message from a Baozi who asked me that the Ning family is an ordinary farmer and there is no identity problem. Let me explain it here. In fact, I mentioned it before. Maybe I updated it too slowly and everyone forgot about it.
The reason why Ning Xiuhe left Su Weiguo was that Ning Xiuhe's great-grandfather was a traitor. Ning Xiuhe knew that marriages between soldiers were subject to trial, and knew that her life experience was destined to not be with Su Weiguo. Once they were together, they would be destroyed. The honor of the Su family, a military family of three generations.
Of course this is just Ning Xiuhe's wishful thinking and has nothing to do with Su Weiguo, and Su Weiguo did nothing wrong.
Speaking of this, will anyone have doubts that Ning Xiuhe couldn't pass the trial, so how could Ning Xi pass? That's because the government only checks three generations.
