The custom is to wash your hair thoroughly on New Year's Eve to welcome the new year. This afternoon, Shen Qiaoyue washed her hair with Liu Xinlan while they were chatting, and she took a bath tonight.

I'm just waiting to bring Da Nian back so I can give him a hot bath.

Lu Chen went to the military base to look for someone.

By this time, the performing arts troupe had finished their performance, and most of the family members had gone home to prepare a late-night snack and wait for the New Year.

Jiang Mingjing was holding Da Nian and chatting with Bai Qingtan.

"Greetings, esteemed leaders." Lu Chen came over, saluted, and draped his coat over Jiang Mingjing's shoulders.

"Lu Chen, you're here." Liu Yashi looked at Lu Chen and asked, "Did your father ask me if you agree to be transferred to Beijing?"

Jiang Mingjing's expression instantly turned serious; Liu Yashi had clearly tricked him.

The task was to have Liu Yashi do ideological work on Lu Chen, but he ended up criticizing him directly.

"Sir, I'm doing just fine here. Besides, I haven't done anything particularly meritorious, and it wouldn't look good to be transferred there without cause." Of course, Lu Chen was reluctant to leave. If he were transferred, people would say he got there through connections.

His achievements have been denied over the years.

"How can you say you didn't make any contributions? When you went abroad with the leaders to carry out the mission, everyone praised you for doing a great job," Jiang Mingjing said anxiously.

Lu Chen's expression was serious; he didn't want to explain.

Liao Shanhe quickly spoke up to ease the awkwardness: "Isn't Lu Chen doing just fine here? Besides, Lu Chen has his own reasons for not going to Beijing. Qiaoyue's work is here, and your mother-in-law is here too. The two children always need their elders to help take care of them! Who will take care of them if they go to Beijing? Can you, as their grandfather, manage to take care of them?"

Jiang Mingjing was reminded that Qiaoyue had a job.

He didn't say anything more.

Why does Jiang Mingjing act like he's about to start an argument whenever he speaks a few words to his son?
