Fan Yingguang said disapprovingly:

"A bungalow is good. It's big and spacious. You don't have to climb stairs. The yard is big too, and you can even grow some vegetables."

Fan Shengnan raised her eyebrows when she heard this:

"Comrade Fan Yingguang, I solemnly warn you again: your waist is no longer suitable for heavy physical labor, so forget about growing vegetables!"

Seeing that his daughter was about to lose her temper, Fan Yingguang curled his lips and said nothing.

Lu Zhan found it somewhat surprising. He didn't expect that Chief Fan, who usually had the final say in front of them, would actually listen to Doctor Fan so much.

Seeing that Fan Yingguang stopped arguing, Fan Shengnan turned around with satisfaction, but found that Lu Zhan seemed to have a faint smile on his lips, and she felt happy in her heart.

Watching Lu Zhan sitting at the dining table in her house, waiting for her to bring out the hot dishes from the kitchen, it felt like the two of them had really become a family. She liked this feeling!

Lu Qiuya secretly looked at Fan Shengnan's expression, and then saw that his brother looked completely unaware, and her eyebrows frowned.

Fan Yingguang stood up and found two wine glasses, poured wine for himself and Lu Zhan, and said with a smile:

"Xiao Lu, let's have a drink today. It's a rare occasion for us to get together during the holidays. You've suffered this time!"

Lu Zhan was about to open his mouth to refuse, but Fan Shengnan spoke first:

"Dad! Lu Zhan is a patient! He can't drink!"

Fan Shengnan is usually strict with Fan Yingguang and requires him not to drink any alcohol.

But today is New Year's Eve, and the Lu family brothers and sisters are visiting the house. Fan Yingguang is thinking of how to satisfy his craving for alcohol, so he said unwillingly:

"Xiao Lu should have almost recovered by now. I think he can already walk normally, but he walks a little slower. Drinking a little alcohol won't affect him."

Lu Zhan's recent recovery results are indeed remarkable. He originally thought that he would not be able to get out of bed and walk until after the Spring Festival, but today he was able to walk down the stairs with the help of others. It is estimated that he should be able to resume normal activities in another week.

"Who said it doesn't affect me? Am I the doctor, or are you the doctor?"

Fan Shengnan showed her doctor's authority and flatly rejected his father's unreasonable request.

Fan Yingguang took back the small wine glass in front of Lu Zhan with regret:

"There's nothing we can do about it, Xiao Lu. We'll just have to drink your celebratory wine together next time we return to Ning City!"

"A celebratory drink?"

Lu Zhan didn't quite understand what Fan Yingguang was referring to.

Fan Yingguang patted Lu Zhan on the shoulder, his eyes full of unconcealed admiration:

"You might not know this while you're recuperating in the hospital, but for your efforts in flood relief in Henan Province, the organization has awarded you a First-Class Merit. Your First Battalion has been awarded a Second-Class Merit as a group, and the other two battalions have each been awarded a Third-Class Merit as a group. Several other individuals with outstanding performance have also been commended. When you recover and return to Ning City, the military district will hold a commendation ceremony for you!"

Lu Qiuya cheered immediately after hearing this:

"Great! Brother! You're awesome! You've done a great job again!"

Fan Shengnan also smiled and congratulated:

"Congratulations, Lu Zhan!"

Only Lu Zhan showed a hint of hesitation on his face.

He knew that he had made an early warning call, sent an early warning telegram, and led all the people in Anfeng Town to climb the mountains to establish a temporary shelter... These things could not be faked.

But until now he still couldn't remember why he made those judgments and decisions at that time.

He felt uneasy about receiving this first-class merit, as he always felt that his own ability was not enough to achieve such a great achievement.

Lu Zhan subconsciously wanted to shirk responsibility, but he said sternly:

"Captain Fan, the fact that our battalion received a second-class collective merit is already a full recognition of our work by the organization. I don't need any personal recognition. I just did what I was supposed to do."

Fan Yingguang looked at Lu Zhan with eyes full of admiration and infinite gratitude.

Whenever he thought about how Lu Zhan persisted in reporting the danger to him after being scolded by him, which ultimately saved more lives and property of the people, he felt a little relieved from his guilt.

He couldn't imagine that if Lu Zhan had given up on making subsequent efforts after being scolded by him the first time he reported the danger to him, the damage caused by the reservoir collapse would have been magnified many times over!

"Xiao Lu, you are the greatest contributor, you deserve this honor!"

"Speaking of which, I really should raise a toast to you. If you hadn't insisted on giving me a warning that day, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to sit here right now and would have become a sinner for eternity!"

When talking about this, Fan Yingguang's eyes were filled with tears and he was very excited. He picked up the wine in front of him and drank it all in one gulp. His action was so fast that even Fan Shengnan didn't have time to stop him.

"Dad! You have high blood pressure! You can't drink!"

Fan Yingguang smacked his lips, looking at the remaining glass of wine with great distress:

"But now that it's poured out, it would be a shame not to drink it. This is all fine wine made from precious grains..."

Before he finished speaking, Fan Shengnan picked up the glass of wine and drank it in one gulp, staring at Fan Yingguang with a hint of anger in her eyes:

"I drank it. Now it's not a pity, right?"

“It’s not a pity, it’s not a pity…”

Fan Yingguang knew that he had to quit while he was ahead. It was already good enough that he could have a drink today for the first time.

At this moment, a clear and melodious announcement came from the TV:

"Dear audience friends here, dear audience friends watching on TV, Happy New Year everyone!"

"It's the time of year again when families reunite to celebrate the New Year. On this beautiful night of bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, Beijing TV will host its first Spring Festival Gala in a live broadcast format. We hope that this gala can bring festive joy and warmth to thousands of households."

"Tonight's program features traditional folk art and crosstalk, as well as innovative song and dance performances. It showcases the exquisite skills of professional artists and the participation and interaction of ordinary people. Please enjoy the song 'New Year's Greetings' together!"

The music and images coming from the TV immediately attracted Lu Qiuya's attention, and she cheered happily:

"It's started! The Spring Festival Gala has begun!"

Seeing that the Spring Festival Gala had begun, Fan Shengnan stopped pursuing Fan Yingguang's behavior of secretly drinking and turned to greet Lu Qiuya with a smile:

"Qiuya, don't just focus on watching the show. The evening party is long. Eat and watch at the same time!"

Lu Qiuya smiled a little embarrassedly and nodded. She was a little excited just now, but the program of the Spring Festival Gala was really good!

The first song was so nice, and the opening female singer's big puffy skirt was so beautiful that my eyes were wide open.

Several people watched the Spring Festival Gala with great interest. It must be said that the gala organized by Beijing TV was really well organized, and every subsequent program was very exciting.

Seeing that the first fish served on the table was a little cold, Fan Shengnan stood up and prepared to take it back to the kitchen to heat it up.

As soon as it was served, Lu Qiuya, who was already fascinated by it, suddenly exclaimed:

"Wow! This female singer... is so beautiful! Is she a fairy?"
