Chapter 287 Conversation between Chu Mingzhou and Gu Yan
Chu Minglan also broke off a piece and put it in her mouth. Although the candy was already sticky and tasted bad, she nodded and said, "The candy my sister-in-law brought is the best."
Lin Anan's eyes became red again when she saw the two little guys being so sensible. She patted their heads and said, "Wait for sister-in-law to take a break, then I'll take you out to play and buy you lots of delicious food."
Mother Lin watched from the side, feeling both relieved and distressed. She called out to everyone, "Don't stand anymore. Sit down. I'll go heat up some food."
"Okay."
Everyone washed their hands and sat around the dining table.
After a while, Lin's mother brought dishes to the table.
Stir-fried edamame with snow vegetables, cold eggplant, stir-fried wild rice stem, braised pork with taro, braised grass carp, and winter melon soup.
Each dish is delicious and all are carefully prepared by Lin's mother.
"Try it now, why are you just daydreaming?"
Seeing that everyone was sitting quietly, Mother Lin took the lead in picking up chopsticks and kept picking up food for Lin Anan and Chu Mingzhou: "Eat more. You all look thinner. You must have suffered a lot in Henan Province."
Chu Mingzhou smiled and responded: "Mom, it's okay, it's all over, and the situation in Henan Province is slowly getting better."
Lin Anan also nodded: "Yes, Mom, there are many people helping us, and we have done our best. Mingzhou will lead the team over in two days."
"I have to go again... Is it dangerous?"
"It's just some reconstruction and rescue missions, not dangerous."
"Well, that's good, as long as it's not dangerous."
During the meal, Lin Zihuai brought up what happened after they left.
For example, Aunt Luo's care for them, the support from Dai Lihua and his wife, the condolences from the organization, and the help from neighbors, etc.
"Oh, and Aunt Zhang, she helped Xiaolan get into the Aerospace Experimental Middle School, saying it's the best middle school here, not only with good teachers and education, but also a beautiful environment, and there are vegetable fields for students to work in..."
"Which Aunt Zhang?"
Upon asking, I found out that it was Kong Changming's mother, the aunt who worked in the Education Bureau.
Lin Anan and Chu Mingzhou looked at each other and said, "When I have time, I'll bring some gifts to thank them."
Mother Lin nodded immediately, "Of course I will go with you then. I owe you such a big favor, you should thank them properly, otherwise Xiaolan's studies will be delayed."
Lin Zihuai continued: "It's mainly because Xiaolan has good grades. She ranked first in their school!"
"Xiaolan is also great..."
After the meal, Lin Anan felt that not only did she feel good, but she also felt better.
This deep feeling of attachment and dependence is surprisingly good!
My heart felt warm, as if it could instantly make me forget the difficult experiences in Henan Province.
After dinner, Lin's mother cleaned up the dishes and Lin Zihuai went to the kitchen to help.
The little girl kept sniffing around Lin Anan, wagging her tail.
Lin Anan reached out and picked up the dog, and it barked twice.
"The little girl has grown a lot!"
The little girl stared at Lin Anan for a while, and seemed to recognize her. The "woof woof" sound suddenly turned into "woof woof~"
Lin Anan was so cute.
"An An, go take a shower first."
Chu Mingzhou poured a cup of tea for Gu Yan, obviously having something to say.
Lin Anan looked down at herself and frowned. She was indeed sloppy. Even though she had cleaned it up, the smell was still unbearable. "Okay, I'll go wash up, you guys can chat first.
By the way, there is plenty of hot water at home. Brother Yan should take a hot bath later. I will get you a new set of clothes. They are made for Mingzhou, but he hasn’t had time to wear them yet. You two should be the same size.”
Gu Yan hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Yes, thank you."
Lin Anan stood up holding the little girl and walked towards the house.
The little ball twisted excitedly in her arms, as if cheering for her return.
Lin Anan gently stroked the dog's head and stroked it hard twice.
"Hey, An An, where are you doing?" Lin's mother poked her head out of the kitchen and asked.
"Mom, I need to take a shower first."
"Wait a moment, mom will help you wash."
Lin Anan felt a little embarrassed when she heard this, "No need, I can wash it myself."
Mother Lin glanced at the main hall again and saw that her son-in-law was sitting face to face with Gu Yan. Her heart began to lift again.
During the whole meal, Gu Yan had little presence, so she didn't have time to ask more questions. She nudged her son with her elbow, "Zihuai, what's wrong with this man?"
Lin Zihuai followed her line of sight and looked over. "Are you talking about Doctor Gu? He is my sister's attending physician, and he is the military doctor specially dispatched by our military region to Henan Province for my sister. Mom, isn't my sister amazing? She even has a private military doctor whenever she goes out!"
Mother Lin rolled her eyes at him and said, "You really don't have any brains."
"Mom! Why are you talking about me again? Didn't I mention it to you? It's you who can't remember it."
Mother Lin didn't bother to pay attention to her silly son. She just kept her eyes on the situation in the main hall from time to time, and her hands moved faster.
She was anxious and became more and more annoyed with her son. "Go and boil some water. Don't you know your sister and brother-in-law want to take a bath? Heat the fire so your sister won't get cold."
Lin Zihuai: “…”
"It's so hot..."
"Hurry up!"
After Lin An'an left, Chu Mingzhou sat opposite Gu Yan with a serious expression, "Doctor Gu, thank you very much for taking care of An'an in Henan Province this time. And you are thoughtful about the post-disaster epidemic prevention."
Gu Yan glanced at him and replied indifferently, "This is what I should do."
Chu Mingzhou nodded slightly, looking directly at Gu Yan with rare patience, "There is no such thing as a should. You have worked hard to treat An An and help everyone in Yao San'ao. This is because of your noble medical ethics. The epidemic prevention proposal is a great thing to serve the people. I will return to the army soon and report your contribution.
The post-disaster reconstruction task in Henan Province is still very arduous. I plan to form another epidemic prevention and medical team. I hope you can join. With your professional ability, you will definitely be of great help. "
Gu Yan refused outright, "I'm busy."
The Northwest Military Region has no shortage of good military doctors, and it would be difficult for anyone to refuse such a great honor.
Gu Yan is from the military region's general hospital and is not a regular soldier. Chu Mingzhou wants to take Gu Yan with him simply because he remembers his kindness and wants to give him a hand.
I didn't expect him to refuse so decisively, but he was in a good mood.
Chu Mingzhou wanted to say a few more words to persuade him.
Gu Yan glanced at him calmly, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, "An An is pregnant, her health is very poor, and she can't leave me."
Chu Mingzhou was slightly stunned and swallowed back all the words of persuasion.
Gu Yan's words hit the nail on the head and directly hit him in the heart.
"Okay, anyway...thank you very much." Chu Mingzhou immediately made other plans in his mind.
Since Gu Yan has this kind of heart, then he is a friend worth making friends with. He helps An An, which is equivalent to helping himself. Chu Mingzhou will remember this friendship.
He will not lose any of the credit that he deserves.
Chu Mingzhou also asked about Lin Anan's follow-up treatment and pregnancy issues, and the two had a pretty good chat.
At this time, Lin's mother finished washing the dishes, wiped her hands and came over, smiling and said: "Xiao Gu, long time no see, how did you study medicine, you are really talented."
Gu Yan lowered his eyes and hummed softly, "I went abroad to study for a few years. It's just a hobby."
"Didn't you study national defense before? This hobby spans quite a wide range."
Gu Yan didn't respond, but just looked up at Chu Mingzhou.
As expected, Chu Mingzhou frowned, with doubt in his eyes.
