New Year's Eve.

Even the biting cold wind couldn't stop the excitement.

Just as the sky got dark, the children who had eaten the reunion dinner started playing with small whips and sky monkeys.

When the crackling sound came into the warm house, the five members of the Huo family were ready to eat.

The polished eight-immortal table was filled with various delicious dishes.

Among them, in front of the 蘇葑 was a large pot of blood intestines and pork stewed with sauerkraut, which was a sign of her mother-in-law's partiality for her.

After starting, Hu Xiu, with a red forehead, talked to his son about the matter of Danier's appointment.

After listening to his mother's retelling, Huo Xiao also felt that it was not very reliable.

However, he has always been reserved. Even if he has doubts, he will not say anything before he gets confirmation. He just said, "I will ask someone tomorrow."

Hu Xiu never worried about his son's work because he always did it properly.

She knocked Guo Guo's head, who was attracted by the sound of firecrackers outside and couldn't sit still, and promised to take him out to play after dinner. Then she turned around and asked about her son and daughter-in-law's plans.

Ru Ting was picking meat for Miao Miao beside him. Hearing this, he didn't rush to speak, but looked at the man on his left.

Huo Xiao did have a plan in mind. Now that his mother mentioned it, he looked at his wife and explained, "I wanted to wait until you returned to your parents' home before discussing the matter of joining the army."

Ru Ting nodded to show his understanding.

However, it is impossible to say that she has not thought about this in her heart. After all, it is not safe outside for the next ten years.

So, after a few moments of silence, she asked: "Will I go with you to the army this time?"

Hearing this, Huo Xiao, who had been observing his wife, felt relieved: "No, I have to wait until I apply for housing before I can take you over. If nothing goes wrong, it will take more than a month."

This "you", Huo Xiao subconsciously understood that the mother-in-law would go with him.

So, after dinner, Huo Xiao cleaned up the dishes and took the dragon and phoenix embryo out to release the monkey child.

Upon learning that her mother-in-law was not going, Ruting, who was soaking her feet, was completely confused: "You are not going? Why?"

Hu Xiu was amused by her daughter-in-law's shocked look: "Why else can you do that? I have lived in the village all my life and I am used to it. Besides, if I follow the army, what will happen to my family?"

Ruting was puzzled: "What do you mean? Is there anything at home that you need to take care of yourself?"

Hu Xiu: "These chickens and ducks, this new house, the vegetables in front of and behind the house, and the fields in the village... Which one can be left alone?"

Ruting did not rush to refute anything this time, because from her mother-in-law's fragmented words just now, she already understood that although she was afraid of the strange world, she did not want to be a burden to her children.

Frankly speaking, like most modern women, if they get married, Ruiting would naturally prefer to live alone.

But it is not an exaggeration to say that her marriage with Huo Xiao is a forced one. Although it looks good now, they don't know each other well enough. Who knows what will happen in the future?
