Chapter 100 Keep it in mind
When Chu Mingzhou got home, his family was chatting around the fireplace!
Lin Anan was holding a notebook in her hand and telling everyone a story, occasionally picking up a pen to write something on the notebook.
"Sister-in-law, what happened next?"
Lin Anan paused and lowered her voice deliberately, "In the middle of the night, the Nian beast broke into the village! It came to the old woman's house again, but this time there was a big red paper on the door and candles were brightly lit in the house!
The Nian Beast shuddered all over, glared at the mother-in-law's house for a moment, then rushed over with a wild roar! When it was close to the door, the courtyard door opened, and there were "bang bang bang" noises from the courtyard, which frightened the Nian Beast so much that it trembled all over, turned pale with fear, and finally fled away in a panic.
Chu Mingyu and Cheng Ge'er huddled together, their eyes wide open, "Then...sister-in-law, will Nian come to our place?"
Lin Anan raised the corners of her lips and said, "We have pasted Spring Festival couplets on the door and window decorations on the windows. We will set off firecrackers during the Chinese New Year, and the Nian monster will not dare to come."
"So this is the beast that Nian transformed into~"
Lin Anan's exaggerated story about the Nian monster made the whole family confused.
Chu Mingzhou stepped into the house, bringing in a breath of cool air, and everyone's attention was immediately attracted.
When Lin Anan saw him, her eyes lit up, "You're back!"
Chu Mingzhou nodded, took off his coat and hat, and sat down by the fire, warming his hands to dispel the coldness on his body.
He looked at Lin Anan with a smile in his eyes, "What are you talking about? It's so lively?"
Chu Minglan rushed to answer: "Brother, my sister-in-law is telling me the story of the Nian monster. It's very interesting. She was just talking about how the Nian monster was scared away by firecrackers."
Chu Mingzhou raised his eyebrows and looked at Lin Anan, "Really? Then I want to listen too."
He sat closer to Lin Anan, put his arm naturally on the back of her chair, leaned forward slightly, and pretended to listen attentively.
Lin Anan blushed a little at his series of actions and coughed lightly. "After the Nian monster was scared away, the villagers were very happy and began to imitate him. Since then, every New Year's Eve, every family puts up red couplets, sets off firecrackers, and every house is brightly lit with candles, waiting for the coming of the new year.
These customs have been passed down year after year in order to keep the Nian monster out of the house and protect the family from harm."
Chu Mingyu held his cheek with his little hand, looking longing: "Then this year during the New Year, we will definitely be able to keep the Nian beast away, and the whole family will be safe and sound!"
Cheng Ge'er also nodded vigorously in agreement, "Yes, keep it far away!"
Aunt Chu smiled and said, "An An tells a really good story."
Lin Anan smiled a little embarrassedly: "Thank you for the compliment, Auntie. My book is going to be about realistic rural life, so I just talked about it casually to find some inspiration."
"An An is amazing. He knows so much and can even write a book."
The family chatted for a while, and when they saw it was almost time, they went back to their rooms to sleep.
Chu Mingzhou has to see his leader off tomorrow, so he has to leave early in the morning and stay in the next city for one night before coming back the next day.
"It's New Year's Day..." Lin Anan was a little dissatisfied, but didn't say much. She just felt sorry for his hard work.
Chu Mingzhou rubbed her hair and said, "I will stay at 'Northwest Diaoyutai' with my leader."
Lin Anan didn't quite understand, "Is it a hotel?"
"Yes, it's a garden-style hotel with a great environment. It's usually only used to receive important leaders."
Lin Anan nodded and just said "hmm".
She was not interested in these things, but it was always good that Chu Mingzhou could live better.
"I'll see how they built the toilet in the room then. It's what you call the restroom."
Lin Anan paused!
Seeing Lin Anan suddenly stop, Chu Mingzhou couldn't help but chuckle and hugged her tighter.
"You remember everything?"
"Um."
Lin Anan recalled the embarrassment of rushing to the public toilet early in the morning when she didn't dare to drink more water every night. Every time she took a shower, she stood next to the water room in the freezing cold environment...
The bathroom, she really needs it!
I only mentioned it once, but he actually remembered it all?
Chu Mingzhou seemed to have sensed something, so he held her hand and squeezed it gently: "I'll build it for you after the New Year."
Lin Anan nodded hurriedly, "Okay, okay, you're the best~"
Just thinking about the fact that she no longer has to go to the public toilet in the cold mornings and will have a comfortable environment for taking a shower, Lin Anan couldn't suppress the smile on her face.
Seeing her happy expression, Chu Mingzhou also raised the corners of his lips and said, "If you have any needs in the future, just tell me directly. Don't be embarrassed."
"Okay." After Lin Anan responded, she quickly struggled to get up, held his face with both hands, and took several "smacks".
"Love you! Good night~"
Finally, she kissed him on the lips, then immediately pulled away and rolled over to her side to sleep.
Chu Mingzhou was slightly stunned, raised his hand and touched his lips, and couldn't help but chuckle.
Before I knew it, it was late at night.
The next day.
Lin Anan was sleeping soundly. As soon as she opened her eyes, she heard Dai Lihua's voice.
When Dai Lihua came back from the mission, the first thing she did was to call Lin Anan and take her to the medical company.
She hadn't done her last nebulization yet. That day happened to be the day of a cultural performance and it was also the end of the year, so it was indeed inconvenient.
"Sister Lihua."
The nebulization was delayed for two days this time, but it was not a big problem. Lin Anan now takes medicine on time every day and his condition is well controlled.
The incidence of the disease is becoming less and less, from several times a day before to once now.
The recovery was better than expected.
Lin Anan casually ate a few bites of breakfast and followed Dai Lihua to the health company.
While Dai Lihua was preparing the atomization equipment, she asked, "How are you feeling lately? You look pretty good."
"Much better. I've been taking my medicine on time."
"I heard that your performance this time was very exciting. What a pity, I didn't see it."
"I'm just doing my part. Sister Lihua must be very tired on this mission, right? It's Chinese New Year."
Dai Lihua waved her hand nonchalantly, "I'm used to this."
While Lin Anan was doing the nebulization, Dai Lihua sat next to her.
"By the way, I heard that you sent your relatives to the Gobi Oasis for development?"
Lin Anan found it inconvenient to speak, so she just blinked and shook her head.
Jiang Tong committed a crime herself, and it was the organization's decision to send her to reform.
"No? I ran into Aunt Wang again on my way to see you today. She hasn't changed at all. She talks nonsense all day long. It's really unlucky!"
Lin Anan raised her eyebrows, speechless...
But I also admire Aunt Wang. She is like a gossip-eating machine every day. She talks wherever she goes and never lets go of anyone's gossip.
"Oh, right." Dai Lihua looked at Lin An'an again, "I heard that you bullied the little girl of Brigade Commander Tang. Is that true? How come you, with your tiny arms and legs, bullied everyone?"
Lin Anan shook her head innocently again.
This is really not true. Tang Jingqiao was driven away by Chu Mingzhou.
"That's what I said. These people should be arrested and given some ideological education. They made up stories at random without any reason."
After Lin Anan finished the nebulization, I briefly explained the matter to her.
Dai Lihua was stunned for a moment...
"It turns out what Aunt Wang said is right. Tang Jingqiao was pissed off by you two! I think we're going to have a grudge. That girl is not someone you can mess with.
As for Jiang Tong, she is also half your relative, but they are too evasive in their words. It is obviously their fault, but you are decisive and straightforward, and you distinguish between public and private matters. How come you are now at fault?"
Lin Anan nodded quickly, putting on a pitiful look, "Sister Lihua, maybe this is what it means when a kind person is bullied."
Dai Lihua was amused by her and laughed out loud. She packed up her things and took the opportunity to send the person home.
