Chapter 390 Shen Chunling Comes to the Army
Mother-in-law wanted to come and take care of herself, but Shen Shuyu refused. Father-in-law couldn't be alone there at all. He was often so busy that he forgot to eat.
He only wanted to build up the Northwest as soon as possible, and he could not even drink a sip of water.
With her mother-in-law calling him to eat at the appointed time, her father-in-law won't be so tired, and she and Gu Jiandong can feel more at ease here.
"Then I'll write a letter and tell Mom not to come over." If his mother came over here, Gu Jiandong would really be worried about his father.
Shen Chunling arrived five days later. Gu Jiandong and Shen Shuyu estimated the time.
When I went to the train station to pick someone up that day, the train never arrived on time, but always arrived a few hours late.
Fortunately, Gu Jiandong had nothing to do today and could wait from morning to afternoon. If Shen Shuyu was alone,
She was still a little bored, after all, she had no cell phone to play with, so she just stared at the train station while waiting for someone.
When the train arrived at the station, Shen Chunling looked around for her niece. It was her first time traveling far away.
Shen Chunling was very nervous, afraid of being targeted by thieves. Her clothes were all patched up, and her shoes had holes in them, with both toes exposed.
The train station was crowded with people, and Shen Shuyu wanted to find her second aunt in the crowd. Shen Shuyu was also looking around, fearing that she would miss her and her second aunt.
Gu Jiandong had good eyesight and quickly spotted Shen Chunling. He pointed to the right and said, "Shu Yu, Second Aunt is over there."
Gu Jiandong pointed in a direction, and Shen Shuyu also saw her second aunt. She waved, "Second aunt, over here."
Many people who were picking up passengers at the train station shouted like this, and no matter how loud Shen Shuyu shouted, it didn't seem abrupt.
Shen Chunling saw that her eldest niece and her nephew-in-law's nervous hearts finally calmed down, and she walked towards them with her things in her hands.
Shen Shuyu and Gu Jiandong also strode towards her. Shen Shuyu told her second aunt not to bring so many things, but Shen Chunling still had big and small bags.
Gu Jiandong took the biggest bag and the heaviest item, "Second Aunt, let me take it."
Shen Shuyu took the remaining package from her second aunt and said, "Second aunt, it's tiring to carry so many things. Didn't I say we have everything here? Why do you still need to carry so many things?"
Knowing that her eldest niece was very strong, Shen Chunling did not let her take it.
"I can get it myself, I don't need you, just put the things in the car, I don't need to carry them, what's the point of being tired?
There were still a lot of peanuts at home, but Second Aunt didn't have enough hands, so she couldn't take them even if she wanted to.
If I could get it, my second aunt would have taken it all.
But it doesn’t matter. When you are about to give birth, Xiaoqiu said she would come to see you. Ask her to bring some peanuts then.”
Shen Chunling remembers that her eldest niece liked to eat peanuts when she had nothing to do.
To pick up Shen Chunling, Gu Jiandong borrowed a bicycle and carried the luggage on it, while Shen Shuyu rode her own bicycle to pick up her second aunt.
Arriving at the family compound, Shen Chunling was quite satisfied with the large yard. "This yard is nice. With this yard, we can grow whatever we want."
"Second aunt, come in. I have made the bed for you. See if you like it."
The house was plastered with lime and looked very bright. Shen Chunling couldn't get enough of it.
"This house is really bright and big. If your grandparents come over and see you living in such a nice house, they will definitely be happy."
My eldest niece always says everything is good in the army, but her parents are still worried.
If I came here and saw my eldest niece living in such a nice house, I would sleep with a smile at night.
"When grandma and grandpa are free, I will go back and pick them up. When we first moved into this house,
The wall is a bit worn and mottled, and the lime plaster was applied by Gu Jiandong and his comrades later."
"Jiandong is a very capable kid."
Shen Shuyu took Second Aunt to the room prepared for her. "Second Aunt, clean it up very well.
The quilt cover is new, too. You can live comfortably here. If you need anything, just tell me."
In the room, there were cups, kettles, and slippers. My niece had prepared everything. If there was anything missing,
"This room is so nice. Second Aunt is really blessed by my eldest niece. She has everything she needs and doesn't need to buy anything else."
They were chatting in the room, and Gu Jiandong was already in the kitchen preparing food. "Second aunt, can we have dumpling soup tonight?"
"Okay, of course. The dumpling soup you made is delicious. Second Aunt will be happy to eat what you made."
Shen Chunling pulled her eldest niece out, opened the package she brought, and took out the items inside one by one.
"These mushrooms were found by Goudan, Jinbao and other children. They dried them themselves.
Knowing that I was coming to the army, they all gave me the mushrooms they had found with great difficulty and asked me to bring them to you.
Jinbao felt that he had too few mushrooms to show off, so he insisted on giving me his Jinyi. It was your eldest brother who coaxed him back.
These dried vegetables were dried by your three aunts. There are quite a lot of them, enough for you to eat for half a year.
There are sixty eggs here, all of which were exchanged for your milk. She asked you to eat one every day, which is nutritious.
Your grandfather asked me to bring these beans. It will taste good if you put some in when stewing pig's feet.
This is bacon. Your grandfather went to your second grandfather’s house to exchange it. It smells really good. I brought in a handful of garlic sprouts. I’ll fry it for you tomorrow…”
Things were taken out one by one, and the table was soon piled with things. Shen Shuyu felt warm in her heart.
"This is pickled cabbage. Your grandma said you don't have much appetite, so she asked me to bring some pickled cabbage.
This thing is too heavy, Second Aunt can only take this much, Second Aunt will make two jars for you here in a few days."
All these things were very heavy, and there were many people on the train. It was also her second aunt's first time traveling far away.
I must not have slept much since I was reading on the train. "Second aunt, after you eat, go back to your room and take a nap."
After putting everything away, Shen Chunling rubbed the corners of her clothes and said, "Don't you have a bathhouse in your army?
Are you open now? Second Aunt has been on the train for so many days and is smelling. She wants to take a bath.
We have to wait a while before eating. Shen Shuyu said, "Second Aunt, go back to the room and get some clean clothes. We'll go now."
"Wait for a moment, second aunt." She was afraid that her clothes would be tattered and would embarrass her eldest niece.
Shen Chunling also changed into a new set of clothes and a pair of shoes before going to the bathhouse with her niece.
Whenever she met a familiar sister-in-law on the road, Shen Shuyu would introduce her to others, "Sister-in-law, this is my second aunt."
Shen Shuyu just came over to scrub her face yesterday, but she didn’t do that today. She took a shower under the faucet and washed her hair at the same time.
When she dried her hair, Shen Chunling had also finished bathing. "Shu Yu, your bathhouse is really nice. It's even bigger than ours."
"We have tickets at home, and Second Aunt can come over anytime she wants."
At this time, Mrs. Wang from next door came out of the bathhouse. Shen Shuyu wanted to introduce them to each other, but the two of them started chatting, "Sister Chunling, I was just looking for you, and you are here."
