It's going to be a big freeze soon.
At this time of year, every household is busy preparing for the coming cold winter.
Tian Mi was naturally no exception, and this year she not only had to take care of her own family, but also had to help her eldest sister's family prepare.
So I didn't even have time to rest for two days after returning to the island, and my busy life began again.
If the children could not be sent to the nursery during the day, and Ge Yun and Zhou's mother would not help, Tian Mi felt that she might not be able to handle it.
Amidst the hustle and bustle, life was plain and warm. The only change was probably that Wang Linkun returned to the army after the vacation.
At first, Tian Mi thought that the third sister would be upset for a long time, after all, she was so fond of crying.
But the fact is, she only cried on the night Wang Linkun left. She was fully recovered the next day and devoted herself to various studies.
Tian Mi was so impressed by what he saw.
She felt that if she were to separate from Huihui, she would be depressed for several days.
All I can say is that Third Sister Tian Xin is much stronger inside than she thinks.
Of course, whether it is separation or reunion, time will never stop for anyone, and the days always move forward in an orderly manner.
Soon it was time for the children to have holidays.
this day.
Tian Mi was awakened by the noise of children laughing.
After waking up, she was still a little dazed. She lay in bed for a while before her mind became completely clear. Thinking she had overslept, she sat up suddenly.
"Awake?" Lou Luhui quietly pushed open the door and found that his wife was awake, so he walked towards her with big strides.
Tian Mi leaned forward to reach for his watch, and subconsciously asked, "Did I oversleep? What time is it?"
As she finished her words, she also looked at the time on her watch.
6:10 in the morning.
The temperature difference between morning and night was huge. Worried that his wife might catch a cold, Lou Luhui took a coat from the closet and put it on her before saying, "You haven't slept yet. It's still early."
Tian Mi rubbed her face, still a little confused, and hugged her husband's waist. She slid into his arms and yawned and asked, "Why did you guys get up so early today?"
Lou Luhui pinched his wife's soft earlobe and laughed softly: "Did you forget? Didn't you promise them that you would go out and play today?"
Of course she wouldn't forget, otherwise she wouldn't have been so anxious just now. But she didn't expect the two little ones to be so excited that they didn't even care about the bed.
"Do you want to sleep a little longer? It's still early." Knowing his wife's schedule, and considering that he had made a lot of noise last night, he knew that she must not have gotten enough sleep.
Thinking of this, he moved his big hands down along his wife's back and began to knead her skillfully.
Tian Mi lay in her husband's arms, feeling drowsy from being squeezed. Just as she was about to fall asleep again, the twins, who had been waiting for their parents to come out for a long time, knocked on the bedroom door:
"Mom, wake up!"
"Mom is a lazy pig!"
"Mom, the sun is shining on my butt!"
"Mom. Don't even say oh oh!"
“.”
Tian Mi
"Forget it, I'm already awake, I'm not going to sleep anymore." Tian Mi sat up helplessly, giving up the idea of continuing to sleep, raised her hand and patted her cheek, trying to make herself more awake, and then began to put on her shoes and socks.
Lou Luhui was helpless. Just before entering the house, he had agreed with the two little ones not to disturb their mother: "Then I won't make breakfast today. I'll go to the cafeteria to buy it."
Tian Mi nodded: "That's fine, I'll just boil a few eggs later."
“.”
Chunli Lake is about seven or eight miles away from the troops.
Tian Mi made an appointment with several military families who were on good terms with him in the family compound yesterday, and everyone rode their bicycles over there.
We set off at 7:30 in the morning and arrived at our destination before 8:00.
It was only when he arrived at the place that Tian Mi discovered that the environment here was quite good.
At least in this era, the recreational facilities are quite diverse, including skateboards, see-saws, swings, ping-pong tables, parallel bars and so on.
As for the cruise ship, it was even more exquisite. Although it was still a wooden boat, it was much larger than the one she had taken before in Kunming Lake.
When they arrived, there were already many adults with children here.
There were long queues in front of each project, and it was very lively. In Tian Mi's eyes, it really felt like a bit of an amusement park in the future.
The two little guys were not afraid of water, maybe it was just because they lived on the island every day and were surrounded by water on three sides, so it was not strange to them. So after looking around curiously, they took their short legs and went straight to the slide where there were the most children.
Tian Mi naturally followed along, and with her were Ge Yun and his mother.
The energy of children is often unimaginable.
Because of the golden finger, Tian Mi boasted that his physical fitness was much better than most people, but after playing with the two little guys for a long time, he wished he could just lie down on the ground.
Of course, she wasn't the only one who felt this way.
Originally, everyone decided that since it was a rare opportunity for the children to go out and play, they should at least play for a whole day.
So, when we set out, everyone brought enough dry food and water.
Especially when seeing the little ones climbing, playing their own happy games, laughing and shouting with excitement, a loving smile will appear on the mother's face.
They all felt emotional in their hearts that the children were so happy and it was the right decision to bring them out for a day of fun.
However, this feeling did not last long.
About three or four hours later, when the sun rose high in the sky, all the parents were exhausted.
They unanimously decided to give up the second half and dragged their children back home.
During this time, some children who were already turned into mud monkeys and were unwilling to leave were slapped several times and were carried onto the bicycles while screaming.
Motherly love and the like will only take half a day.
Although Tian Mi felt that she could hold on for another two or three hours, she couldn't stay alone since everyone else had gone back.
So he followed the crowd and returned home with the two little kids who were still unsatisfied.
The twins were very well behaved. They didn't cry or make a fuss like other children from beginning to end.
Just when Tian Mi was proud that her children were still well-behaved, when she returned home and saw her father taking a lunch break, the children's true colors were revealed.
They all turned into spoiled kids, hugged their father's legs and shook them, saying that they had not played enough today and wanted to go again tomorrow.
Seeing her husband laughing and joking with the children in a good mood, Tian Mi rarely felt naughty. She jumped lightly and climbed onto the man's back, and also acted coquettishly and said she was tired.
Lou Luhui, who was dealing with the children, did not expect his wife to suddenly rush over. His heart tightened, and he subconsciously held her back and said helplessly, "What if she falls?"
Tian Mi looked over her husband's shoulder and wrinkled her nose at the stunned children, then smiled and said, "I believe you can catch me."
You can't do anything wrong even if you catch it. Just when Lou Luhui was about to say this, the two little guys became excited again and clamored to be carried on his back.
In the end, in front of his wife and children, the usually good-tempered man, holding a small child in each hand and an older child hanging on his back, talked to them in a gentle voice about their morning outing.
Tian Mi, who had been lying on her husband's back the whole time, thought with a frown on her face, fortunately Huihui was tall and had long legs and plenty of energy, otherwise she really couldn't handle the three girls acting coquettishly and pestering her at the same time.
Time flies.
Time quickly entered mid-October.
When the first snowflakes fell on this land.
My eldest sister and her family of six, who had been visiting relatives for more than a month, finally came back.
Familiar snowy day, familiar scene, except that the two people's positions were swapped.
That day, Tian Mi got up early and prepared a table full of delicious dishes with her third sister who was on vacation.
Zhou's mother also came to help.
This was Tian Mi's idea. She always felt that compared to Beibei, Zhenzhu lacked patience, so she asked her husband, who had some basic carpentry skills, to make a set of small wooden strips of equal thickness for the children.
Not to mention, after the thing was made, not only the quiet Beibei liked this game, but even the lively and active Zhenzhu liked it too, and they would often sit for an hour.
Even other naughty children in the family compound often stopped acting up because of this new game, which made the angry adults who chased after the kids all day feel a lot more relaxed.
"My eldest sister should be here soon. Let's go out and take a look." It was almost time for the army to ring the lunch bell, but Tian Mi still hadn't seen her eldest sister and her family. She felt a little worried. After checking the time again, she took off her apron, wiped her hands, said something to her third sister, and was about to go.
There are a lot of people here today, not only the eldest sister and sister Nan’s families, but also Mr. and Mrs. Wang Lu and Mr. Cheng and Tian Mi are also invited.
It’s almost time for dinner, but there’s still no sign of her eldest sister and her family. How can she not be anxious
Tian Xin looked outside through the kitchen window. The snow had just started to fall in the morning, and it wasn't particularly heavy, but now the ground was covered with a light layer of white. She frowned, "Wait a little longer, it should be here soon, it's still snowing outside."
Tian Mi waved her hand: "What's a little snow? I won't go far, I'll be back soon."
As soon as she finished speaking, she had already left the kitchen and walked quickly towards the door.
But I didn't expect that not long after I left the family compound, I saw two people who stood out from the crowd in height. Who else could it be but my husband and Zhou Jianshe
And following the two of them was the eldest sister and her family.
"Sister! Brother-in-law! You are finally back!" Tian Mi smiled, raised her foot and walked quickly towards them, while shouting happily.
The people on the other side also saw her at about the same time.
Lou Luhui frowned, took a few big steps, and appeared in front of his wife. He took off his hat and put it on her head, complaining: "Why did you come out without a hat or scarf? And where is your umbrella? You will be the one who suffers if you get cold."
As he spoke, he raised the collar of his wife's cotton-padded jacket, fearing that her neck would be cold.
Tian Mi raised her hand and held her husband's busy hand: "Ah! It's not cold today."
After saying this, without waiting for her husband to speak again, she looked at her elder sister who had come over, reached out to take Chengcheng from her arms, and said with a smile: "Are you tired? Are you cold? Hurry up and go to my house to rest. Lunch is ready and I'm waiting for you."
Tian Yu's eyes were tired, but he couldn't hide his joy: "Tired! How can I not be tired? Before I went back to my hometown, I was thinking about my hometown all the time. But now that I'm really back home, I'm happy, but I'm still thinking about the island. I'm finally back, and I have to say, seeing this white snow, I'm quite happy in my heart."
Tian Mi agreed: "After all, I have lived here for more than ten years, so I am half a root here. How can I not miss it?"
Hearing this, Tian Yu smiled cheerfully: "You are right. By the way, I heard that Third Sister is engaged again? How was the scene? Were many people surprised? Come and talk to me about it."
After not seeing each other for more than half a month, the elder sister was nagging as usual. Tian Mi shook the fat boy in her arms with amusement and said helplessly: "I'll tell you in detail when we get back."
Hearing this, Tian Yu slapped his forehead, and then took his sister's hand: "Yes, yes, yes, look at my brain, I'm so happy, let's go home quickly, I miss the kang bed in the house so much"
Because I had a big and lively meal at noon.
The dinner Tian Mi prepared was relatively light.
Of course, no matter how light the meal is, there is still a plate of steamed fish and fried green leafy vegetables, and we always have to consider the two growing children.
"Mom, when will Dad come back?" Tian Mi, who had prepared dinner, was playing games with the children. After hearing Zhenzhu's words, she subconsciously looked at the time.
Fifteen minutes later than her husband usually gets off work.
If they are not going home for dinner, they will usually inform us in advance. Even if they have a temporary task, they will ask the attendant to come and tell us.
But none of these things happened today, so they should be back soon.
Thinking of this, Tian Mi picked up her daughter and kissed her chubby cheek: "Are you hungry?"
Pearl hugged her mother's neck and said in a baby voice, "Zhuzhu is not hungry. Zhuzhu is waiting for daddy. It's just that her little belly says she wants to eat egg cake."
At the end of the conversation, the little girl's eyes rolled around and she didn't dare to look at her mother.
Hearing this, the gentleness on Tian Mi's face immediately fell. She held her daughter in one hand and led her son to the bathroom with the other hand, and said in a cold tone: "There is no egg cake. Wash your hands and eat."
"Ah? Don't you want to wait for daddy?" Little Pearl tried to struggle.
Tian Mi had just said she wouldn't wait when she heard the door open. So she smiled and said, "Look, Dad is back."
The little girl, who failed to get the egg cake, had tears in her eyes when she saw her father suddenly coming back.
Lou Luhui was holding a few plum blossoms in his hand. Seeing this, he asked in confusion: "What happened to Zhenzhu?"
"I thought you were going to come back very late, and you were pestering me to give her egg cake. Now that your plan has failed, you're going to cry." At this point, Tian Mi even laughed at her: "I don't know who this greedy person is from."
what ever!
Lou Luhui subconsciously replied in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it, so he coughed lightly and raised the flowers in his hand: "I'll go put the flowers together, you guys eat first."
Tian Mi really didn't trust her husband's aesthetic taste, so after finishing her meal and washing up, she took out a pair of scissors, hummed a little tune, and began to trim the branches in the vase.
She liked flowers, but she didn't expect her husband to insist on picking flowers for her for three years.
I once thought it was just a temporary romance, but the fact is that it has never stopped except when it was the coldest or when I was on a mission.
I still remember that when I first knew that my husband would send me flowers, many officers in the family compound followed suit.
But the only one who really persevered was my husband.
Thinking of this, Tian Mi's eyebrows curved even more sharply, and the tune she hummed became the 'most romantic thing'.
"What are you humming? Yinhua sings very nicely." After Lou Luhui coaxed the child, he returned to the room and saw his wife with waist-length hair, humming a tune he had never heard of before, fiddling with flowers and plants with a relaxed look on her face.
Although there were no lyrics and the meaning was unknown, it made people feel inexplicably sweet when they heard it. He hugged her from behind, tilted his head to kiss his wife's pink cheek, and asked with a low smile.
Of course, she couldn't tell what song she hummed. Tian Mi smiled and said, "I was in a good mood, so I just hummed it casually."
Lou Luhui just asked casually. Hearing this, he rested his chin on his wife's shoulder, squinted his eyes, and asked lazily, "That sounds good. What are you so happy about?"
"It just reminded me of your proposal before we got married. It snowed heavily that day, and you took the soldiers into the mountains to hunt. You hunted a lot of wild boars, and you brought me plum blossoms. They were so squashed in your bag. Do you remember?"
How could he not remember? The feeling of anxiety, anticipation, and embarrassment at that time would never be forgotten by Lou Luhui, not to mention three years, even for a lifetime.
He laughed softly and was about to reply when he heard his wife say, "I still remember that you wrapped a ginseng in a plum blossom. I really didn't know whether to laugh or cry at that time. I've never seen anyone wrap ginseng in flowers for a girl. It's just... well... poor aesthetic taste."
Hearing this, Lou Luhui’s arms around his wife froze.
"What's wrong?" Tian Mi turned around, raised her head, and her eyes were full of sly smiles.
"Nothing! I just thought it was quite fun at the time." He must not tell his wife that the reason he went out to pick plum blossoms today was because he got a good-quality ginseng from a friend.
The ginseng, which he regarded as a second surprise gift, was now hidden in the drawer of the table where the vase was placed.
"But... later on."
Lou Lu came back to his senses: "What happened next?"
Tian Mi didn't answer immediately. She glanced at the drawer behind her, then she stood on tiptoe and kissed her husband's lips gently. She curved her eyebrows and said gently, "Later, I felt that no matter what you gave me, I would like it very much. Because it's you, I think everything is romantic and beautiful."
My wife has always been a person who is generous with her compliments.
After several years of marriage, Lou Luhui has long been accustomed to it.
But at this moment, hearing her straightforward expression of love still made him feel excited, as if they had just gotten together.
No. It should be said that it can affect his emotions more than when they first got together.
But compared to his wife's courage in expressing her love, Lou Luhui always felt that his mouth was too dull.
So the man with severe emotional ups and downs finally decided to express his love for his wife through his actions, saying that his love was no less than his wife's.
"What are you doing?" Tian Mi was stunned when she saw the man who suddenly held her in his arms and walked towards the bed.
Lou Luhui put the person on the bed and said as a matter of course: "I will give myself to you!"
After saying this, he leaned over and pressed on her excitedly, regardless of his wife's stiff smile.
Tian Mi
Because of the familiar formula of plum blossom and ginseng, Tian Mi, who thought her husband was embarrassed, was so angry that she wanted to scratch him.
She just wanted to give Huihui a way out! !
She even smelled the scent of ginseng just now.!!!
