Song Yan didn't care. If she wanted to resign, no matter where her connections were, it wouldn't stop her.

In order to attract Song Yan to Zhejiang Province as soon as possible, the Zhejiang Provincial Military Region Hospital requested strong support from the military region.

Knowing that Song Yan's family was large, and that Old Zeng lived with her, they prepared two houses for Song Yan's family.

However, Song Yan was not in a hurry to go to Zhejiang Province.

This year, at everyone's invitation, Shen Changchuan will bring Shen Qian and his wife to meet his comrades during the Spring Festival.

Shen Changchuan, usually a composed man, was moved by everyone's words. He wanted to show off his son and daughter-in-law.

Incidentally, Shen Changchuan also needs to introduce Xia Juntao to people.

Shen Ruomei is all grown up now, and has graduated from university. She has countless people who want to introduce her to potential partners.

Bringing her boyfriend out would save Shen Changchuan a lot of trouble later.

There is a tradition in the military that leaders and soldiers celebrate the Chinese New Year together.

The leaders would bring their families and children along, and they would also organize a party.

The performing arts troupe will perform several programs, and sometimes military dependents will also perform.

Shen Qian's vacation this time was quite long. This was something Shen Changchuan had negotiated.

Shen Changchuan personally made the phone call to Zhejiang Province.

The gist of it was to thank you for raising my son, which has made him an excellent soldier.

But my son was someone I found after a lot of trouble. I searched for him for over twenty years!

I won't fight you for my son anymore, and I won't force him to come back! But please let us have a reunion during the Spring Festival, and let my old comrades meet my son!

Will you grant me leave? How many days of leave will you grant?

Shen Changchuan's situation is indeed special, and finding this son was not easy.

The Zhejiang Provincial Military Region would definitely be reluctant to release him. Moreover, Shen Qian could also bring in Song Yan!

Vice President Qiao held her medical skills in extremely high regard.

They also have many elderly people here who need recuperation and care, and they need TCM practitioners like these.

Compared to getting his son back, Shen Changchuan's request was nothing.

So they granted Shen Qian leave, and even gave him an extra day off as an exception.

When Shen Qian returned, he used Song Yan's words: "I'm a second-generation military officer!"

The troops held a New Year's celebration and invited families to attend. Shen Changchuan definitely wanted to bring all five children, but since the fourth and fifth were too young, he didn't mention it. He said he would bring the three older ones instead.

Song Yan understood; this was truly a show-off move. However, the first three children didn't bear the surname Shen, so bringing along the fourth and fifth children had a different significance.

Shen Qian understood this principle, but he also disagreed with bringing the two young children. They were too young and prone to illness. Shen Changchuan also disagreed.

Song Yan was confident that with her spring water nourishing them, every child would grow strong and healthy like a bull.

She assured me she could bring all five children.

It's just that it's difficult to take care of five children.

Wei An and Wei Ping said they were going to help look after the children.

In fact, they didn't just want to take care of their younger brother; which child doesn't dream of joining the military?

As their second uncle, he was determined to make their wish come true.

Old Zeng hadn't been in the army for many years, and he wanted to join in the fun. Di Jianjun would definitely be going too.

Yueyue has become sensible; she can stay close to her mother now.

These people are perfectly capable of taking good care of the children.

Aunt Wei was worried about the two little ones. What if they got distracted and she couldn't keep an eye on them? If she went with them, not only would she not be able to take good care of the children, but others would also have to take care of her old arms and legs. So she asked her third aunt to come along too.

My aunt was also very curious about how soldiers celebrated the New Year and what the atmosphere was like.

Well, as someone who makes a living by writing, I definitely need creative material.

So many people have already gone, is it okay to bring my third aunt too?

Song Yan told Shen Qian about this.

It's definitely okay to bring one more person.

With so many people from his family coming, he certainly couldn't take advantage of the military. Shen Changchuan sent his family's rations to the mess hall in advance.

This year, Shen Changchuan's family is the most eye-catching.

He followed behind Old Zeng, followed by his son, daughter-in-law, daughter, and future son-in-law.

The four young people were all handsome men and beautiful women.

Xiao Zhang and Di Jianjun were holding two little boys in their arms. The two babies looked very alike. They were obviously the younger twins from Shen Qian's family.

There was also a boy and a girl, both around ten years old, each leading a child. Although the two children didn't look alike, they were about the same height. Look at those chubby, sturdy little creatures—they're so adorable!

Behind them was a woman in her thirties. Her scholarly appearance made the loudly arguing men lower their voices, realizing they had been too rude.

The girl she was with was as pretty as a New Year's picture doll. Actually, even a New Year's picture doll wasn't as pretty as this girl.
