On the first night of her marriage, she was hospitalized

Chapter 368 Delayed Departure
Conditions are better now, and the heating is more effective than before.

Wearing summer pajamas at home is perfectly fine.

Jiang Tang likes to wear summer slippers, with her short toes all showing.

Her skin was white, the insteps of her feet were white, her toes were white, and her nails were pink, as if they had been specially dyed.

Lu Changzheng walked to her side, took the towel from her hand, and patiently dried her hair.

Jiang Tang had gotten used to Lu Changzheng's service.

She took off her shoes, lay down on his lap, her knees resting on his back, and her calves swinging freely.

He was talking to Lu Changzheng while flipping through his professional books.

She read the book very casually.

However, the speed of turning the pages was not affected.

Once she turns a page, it means she has memorized all the contents.

Lu Changzheng looked down and saw that it was her textbook. He asked her if she still had work to finish.

"No."

"Just browsing to kill time."

"..."

Others might choose storybooks to pass the time.

She's quite good at passing the time by reading dry, academic books.

Lu Changzheng smiled, dried his wife's hair, and combed it.

He put down the towel and reached out to scoop his wife up from her book.

"Lights out and time to rest?"

"it is good."

Jiang Tang handed the book in her hand to Lu Changzheng, asking him to turn off the light.

This year's snow came later than usual, but the snowfall was heavier.

When they first moved in, the two osmanthus trees that Jiang Tang planted in the yard did not survive the winter that year.

She dug them up and replaced them with wintersweet.

The wintersweet, which is frequently watered with the water from washing hands, is growing vigorously.

In spring and summer, the branches and leaves are lush and green. After autumn, the leaves fall, but the thick branches can still be seen.

The heavy snowfall weighed down the winter plum blossoms, causing them to bend slightly.

A gust of wind blew by, and the slightly bent wintersweet took advantage of the wind to shake off all the snow on its body and take the opportunity to stretch its body properly.

The courtyard was completely silent in the dead of night.

Occasionally, snow falls from the branches and lands on the snow-covered ground in the yard with a soft thud.

In addition, one could faintly hear whispers coming from the master bedroom.

The winter plum blossoms, standing proudly against the cold wind in the courtyard, silently bear witness to yet another 'busy' night.

When she stopped, Jiang Tang's eyelids were drooping.

She heard the sound of snow falling on the ground outside.

With great effort, she opened her eyes a crack and asked the man who had just lain down beside her.

"The snow is too heavy, will it affect tomorrow's trains?"

"probably not."

"I'll look at it tomorrow morning. Let's go to sleep first."

Lu Changzheng embraced her, holding her in his arms and gently coaxing her.

Jiang Tang nodded, and fell asleep the next second.

The heavy snow didn't stop until noon the next day, and their travel was indeed affected by it.

The car, which was supposed to depart this afternoon, has been postponed to tomorrow morning.

Train delays are perfectly normal at this time of year.

Fortunately, Jiang Tang and her family didn't all go to the train station.

Instead, Lu Changzheng went to find out the situation first. After confirming that the news of the delay had been received, he went home.

Jiang Tang and the others were waiting at home.

Seeing him brave the wind and snow to walk back, she quickly went out and reached out to hold his hand.

"To warm your hands."

Her hands were as warm as ever.

Lu Changzheng couldn't bear to see her get cold, so he squeezed her hand briefly before letting go and going inside with her. "How is it? Is the train delayed?"

"Are you sure it can open tomorrow morning?"

He Lihua pressed her son for answers.

Lu Changzheng nodded. "We can't leave today. The snow is too heavy, and the comrades on the railway are working hard to clear the road. We'll have to leave tomorrow."

"Oh! Okay, it's fine to leave tomorrow, as long as the weather is nice."

"Yes, I just heard from the station staff that several trains are stuck on the road. In this freezing weather, being stranded on the road is going to be quite a hardship."

Lu Changzheng's words made He Lihua gasp, and she immediately felt a wave of fear.

Thank goodness, thank goodness they haven't set off yet.

If they had been on the road and encountered the morning blizzard, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

He Lihua patted her chest, still shaken.

"Do Wenjing and the others know? Should I go and talk to her?"

"Guoyuan went too. He went to get Aunt Liu's train ticket. We came back together."

This means that they also know this information, so He Lihua doesn't need to make an extra trip.

He Lihua nodded.

Just as she breathed a sigh of relief, she stood up again. "I need to prepare more food, so that we won't go hungry if we get delayed on the road."

He Lihua, who hadn't been back to her hometown for several years, was clearly looking forward to this trip.

She's been packing her things these past few days, and the closer it gets to the departure date, the more restless she becomes.

I don't know exactly why I can't sit still, I just can't stay idle.

She went to the kitchen to prepare food.

Jiang Tang and the others didn't stop her.

That afternoon, snowflakes began to fall again, but fortunately, this time the snow didn't last long.

The snow stopped falling before the floor in the yard had even turned white.

Lu Changzheng went to the alley entrance and made a phone call to his eldest uncle to tell them about the delayed departure.

Right after hanging up the phone, Zhang Xiangdong brought his two sons, who were already half-grown boys, over to take Black General and Big Yellow home.

It takes Lu Changzheng and his group a month to go back and forth.

During this period, you can ask your neighbors to help look after your family, but you'll still need to ask your closer friends to take care of your livestock.

As soon as Zhang Guoyu entered, he asked Jiang Tangxi where her younger sister was. They had brought her a gift.

Lu Changzheng frowned.

It feels like someone is eyeing my precious treasure.

Seeing his good brother's expression, Zhang Xiangdong suppressed a laugh and slapped his second son on the shoulder.

"You brat, tone it down."

Zhang Guoliang, standing to the side, lazily twitched his eyelids and glanced at his simple-minded younger brother.

My brother is so silly.

He didn't know that in the eyes of his father, Uncle Lu, Uncle Cheng, and other middle-aged men, besides their wives, their most important people were their precious daughters.

It's no wonder Uncle Lu would be unhappy if his silly younger brother so casually asked his aunt for Xixi.

Zhang Guoliang, who is only one year older than his younger brother and is twelve years old this year, is noticeably more mature.

He greeted Jiang Tang politely and then sweetly called He Lihua "Grandma."

He Lihua was amused and told the two brothers to come inside quickly, where she had just fried some dough balls.

Besides fried dough balls, she also made a lot of steamed buns, twisted rolls, and scallion pancakes.

When traveling by long-distance train with the whole family, it's essential to prepare plenty of food.

Although Lu Changzheng said that there were things to sell on the train, so there was no need to prepare so much.

However, He Lihua still felt that she had prepared well.

The food outside is expensive and doesn't taste good.

There's no need to waste that money.

He Lihua is a frugal person. Even though her son has been promoted and his salary is much higher than before, she still lives her life as before.

He never flaunts his wealth, nor does he waste it.

When the Zhang brothers led the Black General away, He Lihua packed a bag of food for them in an oil paper bag.

Zhang Guoyu praised He Lihua's cooking skills while eating.

"Grandma He, I really want to live in your house forever."
