Bai Zhizhi and Lu's mother ate until their bellies were full. Looking at the table full of food, they both felt satisfied. So they gave up the idea of ​​cooking and just lay down on the comfortable sofa to rest.

Bai Zhizhi gently stroked her round belly and burped contentedly.

Seeing this, Mother Lu couldn't help but smile and shook her head. After she cleaned up the table, she decided not to cook at noon. After all, there was still so much food on the table. Bai Zhizhi agreed with this.

At noon, Lu Chuan got home from get off work and saw three large pots of food on the table. He was a little surprised that these two beauties could make so many delicious foods. He secretly admired them in his heart. It seemed that he could only enjoy these delicacies at noon today.

Time flies by like a white horse, and the years pass by in a hurry. In a blink of an eye, three days have passed, and Lu's mother is about to embark on the journey home. Bai Zhizhi's heart is filled with endless reluctance. During this period of time, she and Lu's mother get along very well, and the feelings between them become deeper and deeper.

During these days, they cooked delicious meals together, went shopping in the city department store to pick out their favorite items, strolled hand in hand on the streets to feel the prosperity and bustle of the rural market, tasted various special foods to enjoy a feast for the taste buds, made beautiful clothes by hand and experienced the fun of handmade... Every moment was filled with laughter, and every picture was filled with warmth and harmony.

More importantly, during this process, Lu's mother's mentality has undergone a huge change. She has become more positive and optimistic, and is full of expectations and love for life. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law often sit together and have long talks, sharing each other's joys and sorrows, and listening to each other's inner voices. This close communication has made their relationship closer, as if they were as close as mother and daughter.

Now, Lu's mother is about to leave. Bai Zhizhi can't help feeling a little lost and sad, but she knows that even though they are far apart, their hearts will still be closely connected. This wonderful time will become a precious memory in her life, forever engraved in her heart, and she is also looking forward to the next time she meets with Lu's mother, to create more warm and harmonious beautiful pictures together again.

Mother Lu's ticket was for a slow train that departed at 4:30 this afternoon. When she arrived in Beijing, it was already past 10 o'clock the next morning. The whole journey took nearly eighteen hours!

Bai Zhizhi prepared a lot of food for Lu's mother, including bread, chocolate, apples, oranges, melon seeds, peanuts from the space warehouse, as well as fried dough sticks, buns, dumplings, and twisted dough sticks of various flavors (original egg, spicy, sesame, and salt and pepper) made by her and Lu's mother. She filled a big bag with everything.

When Lu's mother saw the big bag of food, she was ready to refuse, but in order to comfort Bai Zhizhi's overflowing sadness, she was reluctant to refuse. Then, after returning to her room, she began to quietly pack her luggage (there were clothes her daughter-in-law bought for her, clothes and bras she made, clothes she brought with her, and clothes for her family).

Seeing this, Bai Zhizhi also hurriedly stood up to help. Together they folded the clothes neatly one by one and put them carefully into the suitcase.

"Mom, you work so hard, you must take care of your health." Bai Zhizhi said softly, her face full of concern, her eyes full of worry and heartache.

Mother Lu smiled and nodded, responding: "Don't worry, my dear daughter-in-law, mom will take good care of myself. As for you, just stay home while you are pregnant. When your belly gets bigger and bigger, tell Lu Chuan to do it. If he doesn't, call me and I will deal with him. You must remember to take good care of yourself. If you need anything, just call me anytime." Her voice was gentle and kind, full of love for her daughter-in-law.

As soon as she finished speaking, Mother Lu picked up the luggage that had been packed long ago and slowly walked towards the door. Her steps seemed a little heavy, as if she was carrying the weight of the whole world.

Bai Zhizhi looked at her mother's back and couldn't help but feel an indescribable emotion in her heart. She knew that her mother worked so hard for the family and for her, but she still couldn't help feeling worried and reluctant.

Mother Lu gently opened the door, took a step forward, and then slowly closed the door. With the sound of the door closing, Bai Zhizhi's mood became heavy. She stood there quietly, staring at the closed door for a long time.

Lu Chuan was responsible for driving the special vehicle assigned to him by the army, escorting Lu's mother all the way to the city's railway station. Bai Zhizhi was pregnant at the time and did not dare to overwork, so she could only stand at the door helplessly, watching Lu's mother quietly go away.

Looking at the figure walking away, Bai Zhizhi couldn't help but feel an extremely warm emotion in her heart, but at the same time, she also deeply felt a trace of attachment and reluctance that was hard to give up.
