After returning home, Wen Nuan started to mess with Lele and grandpa's down jackets again.

When Gu Qinghan came home, Wen Nuan had already started the finishing stages, and all that was left was the final stitches.

This down jacket took her a long time to make, as her skills in making clothes were not very good. Whenever Wen Nuan had time, she would go to Sister Guihua and ask her for help and guidance. However, Sister Guihua was very sensitive to smells due to her pregnancy. The down did not smell strange to her, but Sister Guihua would easily feel nauseous after smelling it.

He also moved the sewing machine directly to Wen Nuan's home, saying that he would move it back to her after she finished making the clothes.

Wen Nuan saw that Sister Guihua had such severe morning sickness, so she went to help Sister Juxiang. However, Sister Juxiang has been busy recently, so Wen Nuan's down jacket work has been progressing slowly.

After more than half a month of cutting and sewing, Wen Nuan finally finished the down jacket before the New Year.

After Gu Qinghan washed his hands, he picked up Lele, who was sitting at the eight-immortal table eating popcorn.

The little girl still had popcorn in both hands. After being picked up by her father, he gave one of the popcorns to her: "Daddy, eat it."

Gu Qinghan took a look and took the popcorn from the little guy, saying, "Thank you, it's really sweet."

"But you can't eat too much, otherwise you won't eat again later."

Lele stuffed the remaining one into his mouth and nodded: "I'll eat it tonight."

"So good."

Gu Qinghan gave her a spoonful of warm water and helped her wash her sweet little hands. After the little girl washed her hands, she ran to the kitchen to find her aunt.

Seeing that the child was playing by himself, Gu Qinghan walked towards Wen Nuan who was still busy sewing.

Wen Nuan came back after seeing Qing Han coming back, so she winked at him and said, "Qing Han, come here and help me try on this dress."

Gu Qinghan had been a tool for several days, and since Commander Lu was about the same height as him, Wen Nuan just made the work according to Gu Qinghan's size.

After making a small one for Lele, there was not enough left to make a coat, so Wen Nuan turned it into a vest.

Gu Qinghan opened his arms, and Wen Nuan put his down jacket on him. He gathered his clothes and asked, "I heard you went to the cowshed?"

Wen Nuan thought of Mr. Zhao's rightist background and asked suspiciously, "Well, I went there in the afternoon. Could it be that someone reported him again?"

"We went there because Qinglan wanted to learn more, so she asked me to take her to ask Mr. Zhao if he was willing to teach her, but Mr. Zhao refused."

After what happened with Ding Guoli, Wen Nuan was already a little nervous and was afraid that her actions would affect Gu Qinghan.

But she understood Mr. Zhao's feelings. He was not the kind of person who kept secrets. It was mainly because of his class background that he did not want to have anything to do with Qinglan. If Qinglan really had the opportunity to learn from the old man, it would be a great thing.

She watched Gu Qinghan put on his clothes, and then buttoned them up for him one by one. She felt a little annoyed when she saw that a man could wear a vest so well.

If only there were more down, she could make one for her man.

Gu Qinghan said, "No, I just asked you. It's a good thing that Qinglan is so motivated. I guess Mr. Zhao refused?"

Wen Nuan nodded, helped him straighten his down vest, and then said, "Well, maybe Mr. Zhao doesn't want to contact Qinglan because of his background. But we didn't hold out much hope, and we all guessed that Mr. Zhao would refuse, so I just sent him some New Year snacks."

If it weren't for this opportunity, Wen Nuan really didn't know how to get those things from Mr. Zhao. Fortunately, Li Yunhua happened to come at that time.

Gu Qinghan responded: "We really can't hold out too much hope. Whether Mr. Zhao is willing or not is his personal choice."

Gu Qinghan knew that Wen Nuan had made a lot of snacks. After giving some to Sister Juxiang and Sister Guihua, there were still quite a few left. He didn't expect that she actually gave them to Grandpa Zhao.

Wen Nuan thought for a moment and asked, "I also saw Doctor Li in the cowshed today. It seems that she and Mr. Zhao have known each other for many years."

"By the way, Dr. Li also said that she was the one who delivered me. What a coincidence."

Gu Qinghan looked at Wen Nuan's cute expression and smiled, "That's such a coincidence."

Then he talked about the relationship between Dr. Li and Mr. Zhao: "I heard that Mr. Zhao and Dr. Li were alumni in the past, but have they met?"

In his impression, Dr. Li was cold and indifferent to everyone and rarely had personal relationships with others.

Wen Nuan nodded: "Yes, I have met him twice. At first I wondered if Dr. Li was a relative of Mr. Zhao, but it turns out he is a classmate."

Speaking of this, Gu Qinghan said, "Mr. Zhao has no relatives. When he returned to China, he was forty years old and I heard he was still single."

Wen Nuan thought that Mr. Zhao and Dr. Li were not much different in age, and her gossipy heart started to burn, so she asked, "What about Dr. Li?"

Gu Qinghan glanced at his wife, not knowing what was going on in her mind, and said, "Doctor Li's husband died a long time ago. They have a son who is also a doctor, but has been in Shanghai."

Wen Nuan said "Oh", and then asked about Mr. Zhao: "By the way, Qinghan, what mistake did Mr. Zhao make in the first place? Is there any way to help him get rid of the blame?"

Zhao Qinyuan is, after all, a doctor of medicine who studied abroad. It is a shame to waste such a talent. Moreover, Li Yunhua went to him many times at the risk of being implicated, which proves that the mistake he made was not excessive and there might be room for maneuver.

"You want to help Mr. Zhao?" Gu Qinghan pulled the hem of his down vest, then looked at Wen Nuan and said, "I heard it wasn't a big mistake. During the civil war, Mr. Zhao saved a wounded man, and then that man defected to the other side. Mr. Zhao originally studied abroad, and with this incident, he was used as a gimmick during the movement a few years ago and sent here for reform."

"Let me see if there is any way. Many people have been rehabilitated in the past two years. I don't think it will be difficult for Mr. Zhao to do this."

Ever since he performed surgery on Zhou Jianshe, Mr. Zhao has been treating fellow comrades in the flight team, but other people don't know about it.

After hearing what Gu Qinghan said, Wen Nuan smiled even brighter: "Really? That's great. It's actually quite dangerous for Sister Guihua to get pregnant at this age. It would be great if Elder Zhao could help check it out."

Moreover, Li Yunhua said that Mr. Zhao was not only proficient in Western medicine, but also very good at Chinese medicine. Having such skills was a good thing no matter from which perspective.

Wen Nuan looked at Gu Qinghan who was wearing a down vest. He had broad shoulders and narrow hips, and the clothes fit him well. Even though it was an ordinary black color, he was still extremely handsome.

Wen Nuan then took him for a spin and said, "Come, let me see how it goes."

When Gu Qinghan first put on the down jacket, he felt the fabric was a little cold, but after talking for a while, he felt warmer. Now he was wearing three pieces of clothing.

He said, "It's a little tight, but it should be just right for grandpa to wear. And the whole piece of clothing feels soft and thin."

Wen Nuan couldn't help but laugh when she heard Gu Qinghan's comments. "Yes, the advantage of down jackets is that they are thin and light, but very warm. They are not as warm as cotton-padded jackets, no matter how thick they are. It won't affect you when you work, and it's very light."

Hearing this, Gu Qinghan immediately thought that when winter comes, the efficiency of training is often affected by the heavy clothes. It would be great if this kind of warm down jacket could be used in the army.

Wen Nuan looked at the tall man and couldn't help but say, "You look really good in it. Next time I collect more furs, I'll make one for you. Then you won't be so cold even if you fly in winter."

Although Gu Qinghan has less flight training in winter, he will still fly as long as it doesn't snow, because the flying altitude is relatively high. Gu Qinghan said that flying in winter would make it so cold that even the movements would become so agile.

When she collects more fur, she will make one for the man as well.

Gu Qinghan touched his down jacket and said, "Next time I'll deal with the goose feathers, and you teach me how to do it."

Then he asked, "By the way, wife, do you think it is possible to make this kind of clothes for all the comrades in our army?"

Wen Nuan looked at the man, and in his expectant eyes, she said regretfully: "It may be a little difficult. You see, I have collected goose and duck feathers for a whole year, and only have enough to make two pieces, and Lele's piece is for children."

The down used to make down jackets are all small down, but it takes many geese and ducks to collect that much.

Gu Qinghan actually knew that not only was it difficult to collect these furs, but even cotton-padded jackets were still in short supply. But when he thought about being able to equip the soldiers in the army with such clothes, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Seeing the man's regretful expression, Wen Nuan couldn't help but stand on tiptoe, kissed him on the face, and comforted him: "Although it is difficult to popularize it now, I believe we will get better and better. In the future, not only soldiers will be able to wear down jackets, but ordinary people will also be able to have one."

Wen Nuan held his face and kissed him again, saying seriously, "Our country will definitely get better and better."

Gu Qinghan looked at his wife's sparkling eyes, and for some reason he suddenly felt that what she said would definitely come true someday in the future.

Gu Qinghan put his arm around her waist and pulled her into his arms. He tightened his arms and lowered his head to hold that bright red cheek in his mouth.

Before Gu Qinghan could taste enough, a childish voice suddenly rang out from the door: "It's time to eat!"

Wen Nuan pushed the man's muscular body away, then straightened her clothes and reached out to the little girl with her hands on her waist: "Le Le, come here, mommy will help you try on the new clothes."

When Lele heard that there were new clothes to wear, he immediately ran in, then looked at Wen Nuan with a smile: "I'm here."

Wen Nuan first took off Lele's heavy cotton jacket, then took the pink silk down jacket and put it on her.

"It's a little big, but it doesn't matter, I can still wear it next year."

"Our Lele looks really beautiful in it."

Lele touched the new clothes on her body. Although there was no mirror, she said happily, "Beautiful!"

Wen Nuan touched the child's head and smiled, "Yes, it's very beautiful. But Lele, don't get it dirty first, we can wear it during the New Year."

We will leave for Beijing in two days and let the children wear new clothes on New Year’s Eve.

Lele walked up to Gu Qinghan, turned around in front of him, and asked him, "Dad, am I beautiful?"

Gu Qinghan picked her up directly and said with a raised eyebrow: "My daughter must be beautiful."

When Lele heard this, she became even happier. She stretched out her little hand and touched the clothes on Gu Qinghan, then said with a smile, "Daddy is handsome too."

After hearing this, Gu Qinghan corrected him seriously, "Dad is handsome."

Lele laughed out loud: "Dad is so handsome!"

Gu Qinghan: "Lele is also beautiful."

Wen Nuan listened to the business bragging between the father and daughter and felt she couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so she collected the threads on the sewing machine.

On the 29th day of the lunar year, Wen Nuan and Gu Qinghan took Lele to Beijing.

Originally, Commander Lu said to let Xiao Zhang come to pick them up, but Gu Qinghan said that the army had a car going to Beijing City, and they didn't want to trouble others to make a trip, so they set off directly from North City.

However, this time they did not take a big truck, but instead got a ride in Commander Xu's car. He happened to be going to Beijing for a meeting, so he took Wen Nuan and his family with him.

The performance of the jeep is better than that of the truck. The journey that would normally take seven or eight hours only took about an hour this time.

However, Kongyuan is not in the main urban area, but in the west city, more than ten kilometers away from the city center.

After arriving at the destination, Commander Xu asked the driver to take them to the Air Force compound.

Wen Nuan had heard from Gu Qinghan before that the senior leaders of the navy, army and air force were all here, so the compound here was much larger than that of the northern city. It was said that there were more than 20,000 people living in it, and it was also equipped with family buildings, canteens, hospitals, kindergartens, etc.

The car was inspected for a long time at the west gate of the Air Force compound. In addition to the pass, the luggage was also checked.

After the inspection, the car drove in. The compound was neatly laid out and the buildings were neatly planned. This was mostly a residential area, so they were taken directly to the small building where Commander Lu lived.

Perhaps hearing the sound of a car, a figure walked out of the small building soon. It was Commander Lu's personal assistant, Uncle Zhao.

Uncle Zhao walked quickly to the outside of the yard, opened the fence, and said to Wen Nuan, "Excuse me, are you Deputy Commander Gu and Comrade Wen Nuan?"

Wen Nuan looked around the two-story building. It seemed that this was Commander Lu's residence, and the person in front of her should be the Uncle Zhao that Commander Lu had told her about.

Wen Nuan looked at Uncle Zhao and smiled: "Hello, Uncle Zhao, I am Wen Nuan."

Then Wen Nuan asked Lele to say hello: "Lele, call me Grandpa Zhao."

Gu Qinghan, who was standing by, also nodded to Uncle Zhao and called out, "Uncle Zhao."

Lele slept twice on the way. She was a little curious about the new environment. She blinked her big, bright eyes a few times, looked at the person in front of her, and shouted with a smile, "Grandpa Zao."

The little guy's speech was a little unclear, but when Uncle Zhao heard it, he responded cheerfully: "Hey, you are Lele, right? You are so cute."

Ever since Commander Lu's wife passed away five years ago, the old leader has been celebrating the New Year and other holidays alone. Although most people in the compound are busy, everyone will reunite as a family during the holidays.

Every time there was a holiday, he wanted to spend it with his leader, but Commander Lu knew that his family was waiting for him to reunite, and said that he took care of his daily life all year round, so he would give him a day off during the holidays.

During important holidays, Commander Lu would sometimes go to his old comrades' house for a meal, and sometimes he would celebrate the holidays with everyone in the army.

But most of the time, Commander Lu did not take holidays and arranged various tasks for himself.

Ever since he learned that Commander Lu had found his granddaughter, Uncle Zhao had been looking forward to Wen Nuan's visit to Beijing.

Now that I finally saw her, I was impressed by how pretty this girl is, even prettier than the female soldiers in the art troupe, and she looks a bit like Teng Jun.

And the little guy Lele is even cuter. In the middle of winter, he is wearing a furry hooded cotton jacket. His fair and tender little face looks like a little dumpling, so cute.

Uncle Zhao saw Wen Nuan holding Le Le in her arms, so he said softly, "Commander Lu has a meeting today, and he asked me to pick you up early. Come, please follow me, and leave your luggage there and I will pick it up."

Gu Qinghan was carrying luggage in both hands. Seeing Uncle Zhao wanted to help, he said, "It's okay. I'll do it."

Uncle Zhao took them into the small building and introduced them to the layout of the house.

The house is antique and furnished entirely with mahogany furniture. There is a spacious living room and dining room right at the entrance. There are three other rooms on the first floor: Commander Lu's room, one is a study, and the other is where Uncle Zhao sleeps.

In addition to these, there is also a separate bathroom and kitchen.

Uncle Zhao said that Commander Lu basically stayed on the first floor. There were also three rooms on the second floor, but no one lived there.

Uncle Zhao cleaned up the second floor only after knowing that Wen Nuan's family was coming to Beijing to celebrate the Spring Festival. Considering that Lele was still young and had not yet slept in a separate room, he cleaned up a large room for them.

Gu Qinghan went to the second floor to put his luggage, and Wen Nuan took Lele to the first floor to chat with Uncle Zhao.

Not long after, Commander Lu came back.

Wen Nuan was preparing dinner with Uncle Zhao in the kitchen. When she heard Commander Lu's voice, she went out to greet him: "Grandpa."

Commander Lu took off his coat and military cap, and a kind smile appeared on his originally serious face: "We are finally here."

Uncle Zhao echoed, "That's right, the chief is so eager to see you that his neck is getting long."

Wen Nuan smiled and explained, "Qinghan just started his holiday today, so he came here just now. Grandpa, please wait a moment, we will be able to eat soon."

"Old Zhao, why did you let Xiao Nuan cook?" Commander Lu frowned, feeling a little distressed as he thought about how they had been sitting in the car for half a day.

Wen Nuan smiled and explained, "I was the one who insisted on making it. I wanted you to have a taste of my cooking skills."

Uncle Zhao smiled and said, "Yes, Commander. Xiao Nuan said that she wanted you to come home so that she could eat the food she cooked. The child is thinking about you."

After hearing what they said, Commander Lu felt elated and couldn't hide his smile. He then cleared his throat and said, "Then don't get tired. You can cook anytime."

Wen Nuan said, "I'm not tired, Grandpa, just take a rest, and we'll be able to eat soon."

There is a gas stove here, so there is no need to light a fire. Uncle Zhao also helped to prepare the dishes, so she just had to stir-fry them. It was very efficient.

Commander Lu saw his granddaughter go back to the kitchen, and then he glanced at Gu Qinghan at the other end of the living room. He saw a white and tender little ball running towards him and shouting loudly: "Grandpa, you're back."

The little fellow rushed over directly, and hugged Commander Lu's thighs, looking up at him with his round little face, looking so adorable.

Even a tough man can be soft-hearted. When he met Lele's big dark eyes, Commander Lu couldn't hold back. He smiled and picked her up. He lowered his voice and asked her, "Do you miss your great-grandfather?"

Lele reached out and hugged Commander Lu's neck, nodding vigorously: "Yes."

When Commander Lu heard the word "want", his heart, as cold as an iceberg, was about to melt. He asked again: "Are you hungry, Lele? Great grandfather bought you a lot of candy, do you want to eat it?"

Commander Lu knew that Wen Nuan and the others were coming over to celebrate the Spring Festival, so he went to Wangfujing with Uncle Zhao to buy New Year's goods. They bought candies for the children and a sweater for Wen Nuan.

When Lele heard that there was candy to eat, he said without thinking, "I want some!"

Commander Lu carried the child to the dining room, put her down first, opened a cupboard, took out a large bag of candies and chocolates, and said, "Here, these are for our Lele."

Lele took the candy handed to her by Commander Lu and said with a smile, "Thank you, Grandpa."

Then Commander Lu looked at the kitchen and said to the child, "Don't eat too much. Your mother said it will cause tooth decay."

"Know!"

Then Lele took out a candy from the bag and handed it to him: "This one is for great grandfather."

Commander Lu smelled the rich aroma of food in the air, and his heart was only thinking about the meal made by Wen Nuan, so he said, "Grandpa won't eat it, so Le Le will eat it."

When the little girl heard this, she took a bag of candies, turned around and ran back to Gu Qinghan, opened a candy and stuffed it into her father's mouth.

Commander Lu: “…”

I should have taken it earlier!

*

Wen Nuan made four dishes in total: steamed fish, beef stew with potatoes, spicy and sour cabbage, and an egg zucchini pancake.

Later, she heard Uncle Zhao say that grandpa liked to eat cold dishes, so she made an extra dish of cold black fungus.

Wen Nuan sat down and said to Commander Lu, "Let's have a simple meal tonight. I'll make something more delicious for Grandpa for the New Year's Eve dinner tomorrow."

Commander Lu looked at the people sitting around the table and forgot how many years it had been since he had a meal with his family.

Since his wife passed away, he has been eating alone. There are only three bowls on the table at most, he, Lao Zhao and Xiao Zhang. But this situation is very rare, and most of the time he eats alone.

Now that he can sit down and eat with his family, he can't help but feel indescribably excited, but he still didn't show it. He just said softly: "Then I look forward to the New Year's Eve dinner tomorrow night."

Wen Nuan used a serving chopstick to pick up a piece of tender beef and fish for Commander Lu and said, "Leave it to me. Grandpa, you come and try it to see if it tastes good."

Commander Lu had never been so hungry as he was today. He picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of beef and put it into his mouth. The rich soup seeped into every inch of the beef. After a long period of stewing, the meat became soft and tender, and it was so delicious that people wanted to eat it with rice.

"Delicious!" Commander Lu did not hesitate to praise, "It's really delicious."

Uncle Zhao was pulled over by Wen Nuan to have dinner together. He finally tasted the food that Commander Lu had been dreaming about for several months. He couldn't help but say, "It's really delicious, much better than what I cook."

Wen Nuan smiled and said, "In front of Uncle Zhao, I am just a layman. How can I compare with you?"

After hearing what Wen Nuan said, Uncle Zhao immediately felt that this little girl was really likable. Not only was she pretty, but she also had a good temper. She didn't point fingers at him just because he was a life assistant. Instead, she called him Uncle Zhao and flattered him to the point of flattery.

No wonder Commander Lu looks forward to seeing her every day.

Lele, who was sitting next to Commander Lu, also picked up the chopsticks in an imitative manner, intending to pick up some food for Commander Lu, but she didn't know how to use chopsticks at all, and only picked up some juice.

Commander Lu smiled, picked up a bit of fish meat for her, and carefully checked to see if there were any fish bones before putting it in her bowl.

"Come, let's eat happily."

The little girl put down her chopsticks and was about to pick up the fish in the bowl with her hands, but Wen Nuan handed her a spoon and said, "Le Le has grown up. You can eat with a spoon like Sister Xiao Dong and the others."

Although children always use their hands to explore the environment and perceive the world first, it is winter now and diseases enter the body through the mouth, so we should also pay attention to hygiene.

Lele learned to eat with a spoon a long time ago. Although he often drops rice, he has mastered the technique. He just occasionally uses his hands to grab food when eating.

She had already cut some meat for the child and added some vegetables, so the child could eat it by himself.

Lele looked at Commander Lu, then at Wen Nuan, took the spoon from Wen Nuan's hand, and said, "Use the spoon."

After saying that, he took the spoon and started eating.

When it comes to eating, Lele is always quite focused, except that he sometimes shouts for meat. He can finish half a bowl of rice slowly.

After eating a few bites, Lele said, "Mom, I want to eat meat."

Wen Nuan took the scissors, cut some beef for her, and then pushed the bowl back to her.

Commander Lu originally wanted to feed Lele, but Wen Nuan said, "Grandpa, just let her eat by herself."

Commander Lu watched Lele holding a spoon and bringing it to his mouth clumsily, but half of it fell onto the table in front of him.

Commander Lu, who had never wasted food, was naturally a little heartbroken when he saw the child like this. He was about to say something when Gu Qinghan, who was sitting on the other side of Lele, said, "Don't worry, Grandpa. She will pick up the fallen food and eat it later."

Gu Qinghan also couldn't bear to see children wasting food, so when he took her to the cafeteria to eat, he would teach her to pick up the rice grains.

Commander Lu raised his eyebrows and secretly observed throughout the meal. Just as Gu Qinghan said, although children would drop rice, after Lele finished the rice in the bowl, he actually picked up the rice and vegetable grains that fell on the table and ate while picking them up.

Although I ate a little slowly, I really didn't waste any food.

Commander Lu was even more relieved. Before, he was worried that Wen Nuan would be too busy to take care of the child alone in Beicheng.

But now it seems that the child is really well taken care of.

After dinner, Commander Lu went into the study to work, and Gu Qinghan took over the washing. Uncle Zhao was embarrassed at first, but Wen Nuan said, "It's the same at home. I cook and he washes the dishes. If he cooks, I'll wash the dishes."

After Uncle Zhao heard what Wen Nuan said, his eyes widened. In all his time in the family compound, he had never seen a grown man go to the kitchen to wash dishes!

Uncle Zhao admired her even more!

When Commander Lu finished his work, Wen Nuan came down with a down jacket, ready for him to try it on. If there was anything that didn't fit, she could change it back in time.

"Grandpa, I made a piece of clothing for you. Try it first. If it doesn't fit, I'll help you alter it." Wen Nuan handed the clothing to him.

Commander Lu didn't expect Wen Nuan to prepare clothes for him, so he took out the sweater he bought and handed it to her, saying with a smile, "That's great. I bought you a sweater, too. I wanted to buy you a coat, but I was afraid I'd buy something you wouldn't like."

A sweater is just right. Even if you don’t like it, just wear it to keep warm.

"Thank you, Grandpa." Wen Nuan took the sweater handed to her by her grandfather and said, "But this down vest is made by me, so it may not be suitable. Grandpa, please try it first."

"Okay, Grandpa, let me try it first."

Commander Lu couldn't wait to take off his coat, and then put on the down vest that Wen Nuan made for him. The black fabric was very suitable for him, and after putting it on, he felt that the size was just right, and the clothes were also very light.

Commander Lu straightened his clothes and asked, "What kind of vest did you say this was? It feels very light and seems to be quite warm."

Wen Nuan told Commander Lu about the materials and production methods of the down vest.

"Don't worry, Grandpa. I've already dealt with the hair. There's no smell."

Commander Lu didn't smell any strange odor after he put it on, but he was a little surprised by what Wen Nuan just said. How could duck feathers and goose feathers be used to make clothes

This broke his cognition.

I didn’t expect his granddaughter to be so amazing that she could even think of making clothes with feathers!

The more Commander Lu looked, the more he liked Wen Nuan.

She is worthy of being Lu Mingfei’s granddaughter!

"It's pretty good. Grandpa likes it very much. Thank you for the gift." Commander Lu smiled and said, "It happens that tomorrow is the New Year, so Grandpa can wear new clothes."

Commander Lu had forgotten how many years it had been since he had worn new clothes for the New Year. He used to feel that the day of reunion had nothing to do with him.

It feels so good to be able to celebrate the New Year with Wen Nuan and the others this year.

Wen Nuan looked at Commander Lu wearing the clothes and said with a smile, "I'm glad Grandpa doesn't mind. There should be no need to modify it, right?"

Commander Lu said with a smile: "No need to alter it, it fits me perfectly."

Even if it didn't fit, he would say it did, and he even wanted to wear the new clothes right now to show his comrades -

These are clothes made by his granddaughter!

So early in the morning on New Year's Eve, after the wakeup call sounded, Commander Lu got up from the bed.

Before having breakfast, I put on my down vest and went out for a walk in the courtyard.
