The lunch was very sumptuous. Since it was a holiday today and Wen Ling knew that the children would be back, she prepared a lot of delicious food in advance.
Qin An Ning and Lu Cheng came over, and she made two more dishes.
Brother Zhou's eldest and second brothers both have children. Together with Qin Anning and Lu Cheng, the whole family has more than a dozen people, and it is very lively.
Today is a holiday, Zhou Xing is busy drinking, and Wen Ling doesn't care.
A few men gathered together to drink and chat.
Here, Wen Ling, Zhou's eldest and second sisters-in-law, Qin An Ning and their three children sat next to each other, eating and chatting.
"Ningning, I always heard from mom that you are researching medicine. What are you researching?" Zhou Ersao is a nurse and is quite curious about this.
"I specialize in traditional Chinese medicine. When I was at our pharmaceutical factory, I developed a frostbite ointment, a cough medicine, and an emergency heart attack medicine, which are currently undergoing clinical trials."
"Ahhh, so you were the one who developed that emergency heart disease drug you published in the Science Bulletin a while ago?"
Zhou Ersao's eyes lit up with excitement, just like a star chasing her idol who suddenly appeared in front of her. Her hands holding the chopsticks were shaking with excitement.
Qin Anning was puzzled. "Do you nurses also read scientific magazines?"
It’s not that she looks down on nurses, but the articles above are all professional things that outsiders can’t understand at all.
Who would read those professional books and magazines for no reason?
"It wasn't me, it was a doctor from our hospital. She said your idea is unique. If everything you said in your paper comes true, it could rewrite the history of emergency medicine. She also said she'd like to meet you if there's a chance."
They remembered it so clearly because they thought what she said was too exaggerated. They didn't expect to see her in person now.
"Ningning, tell me quickly, is that first aid medicine really that magical?"
Zhou Ersao was like a badger in a melon field, wanting to get first-hand information here so that she would have something to talk about when she returned to the hospital.
Qin Anning nodded and said matter-of-factly, "According to the first batch of clinical responses, the effect of the heart emergency medicine is very good.
If nothing goes wrong, it won’t be long before it goes into production.”
"Ningning, you are so amazing. Are you really 19?" Mrs. Zhou praised sincerely.
Qin An Ning smiled and said, "This is genuine. If you don't believe me, ask Aunt Zhou."
"Ningning grew up under my nose and has been smart since she was young.
When she was studying with the old Chinese doctor, she learned all the medicinal properties of Chinese medicine in just two months. Even the old doctor praised Ningning for her talent.
Wen Ling could hardly hide the pride in her eyes. Her child was so promising that she couldn't wait to show off to others.
"Well, this is also thanks to that old Chinese doctor who taught me a lot. It's a pity..."
Qin An Ning felt a little regretful when he thought of the kind-looking old man.
About half a year after the accident, the old Chinese doctor also passed away.
"Ningning, try this fish. I bought it specially this morning. It's so fresh and lively."
Wen Ling saw that Qin An Ning looked a little strange and quickly changed the subject.
Qin An Ning smiled slightly, indicating that she was fine, and started talking about other things.
"Sister-in-law and sister-in-law, I brought some skin care cream that I made myself. If you don't mind, take it back and try it."
"Is it the same one as Mom's? I see Mom's skin is much better now."
Qin Anning nodded, "That's it."
Mrs. Zhou smiled, her brows full of joy. "Then I must use it carefully. My face has been very dry lately and feels very tight."
"Then try it. If you think it works, I'll make it for you."
The meal was finished while they were chatting and laughing. The men were so happy that they drank a little too much, so Wen Ling sent them into the house to sleep.
Zhou Xinping only drank two glasses of wine for fear of any unexpected situation, so he was very clear-headed at the moment.
Qin An Ning happened to have something to discuss with him, so she followed him into the study.
"Uncle Zhou, the last time I came, you were busy with Captain Guo's matter. Was it about his wife?"
Logically speaking, this was a military matter and should not be disclosed to outsiders, but Qin Anning and Lu Cheng discovered the matter, so Zhou Xinping did not hide it from her.
"Indeed, thanks to you and Lu Cheng's timely reminder, many things were avoided. But Ningning..."
Zhou Xinping looked at Qin Anning and said with some guilt, "I didn't tell anyone that it was you two who discovered the problem, so there won't be any reward."
"I understand, Uncle Zhou, you want to protect me and keep me from getting involved in those things."
The captain's wife lives a simple life. Things here are complicated and she doesn't want to get involved, let alone care about the reward.
"Can I ask what they did with it?"
"Guo Tuan was indeed unaware of the situation, but he cannot escape the guilt of negligence.
I definitely can’t keep this set of clothes, and the treatment I receive when I return to the local area will probably be just average.
As for that woman, don't ask me anymore."
Qin Anning nodded obediently. It was an exception that Zhou Xinping could tell her so much. If he didn't want to ask, then don't ask. Anyway, the spy would not have a good ending.
The main purpose of coming here today is not to ask this.
Qin Anning thought about it and realized that if she asked Zhou Xinping directly about his father, he would definitely not tell her.
Because if it was really as she suspected, she would have told him long ago, and would not have said a word until now.
So we can only take a risky move.
Qin Anning chatted with Zhou Xinping about her college life.
Then he suddenly changed the subject, staring at Zhou Xinping and said, "Uncle Zhou, when I went to Gusu before, I saw my father on the train."
The teacup in Zhou Xinping's hand suddenly fell onto the table, and the tea spilled all over the table.
He wiped it hurriedly, then said to Qin An Ning as if nothing had happened, "Ning Ning, don't say anything nonsense, you scared me just now.
Are you missing your dad so much that you're hallucinating? You know your dad is long gone."
The corners of Qin An Ning's lips slowly widened, and tears unconsciously appeared in her eyes.
Her nose felt sore, but she was very happy in her heart.
Judging from Zhou Xinping's reaction just now, her guess was basically correct. Dad was still alive and he was carrying out his mission.
Although Uncle Zhou concealed it quickly, she knew him and saw his shock at that moment.
"Uncle Zhou, how could I not recognize my father? Even though he's disguised, I'm sure it's him."
I remember the look in their eyes, complex, joyful, and suppressed.
Dad probably didn't expect to meet her at that time, so he showed his true reaction at the first moment and then quickly covered it up.
"Ningning, you must have missed your dad so much that you recognized the wrong person. You can't talk about such things casually."
Zhou Xinping had a thousand questions in his mind: How did they meet? What did they talk about? Did anyone else discover anything?
But he didn't dare ask Qin An Ning.
This girl is so smart, she can guess the answer if he asks her one more question.
"Well, I understand. Even if I admit my mistake, I'll admit it."
Having achieved his goal, Qin An Ning felt a little confused and didn't want to say anything to Zhou Xinping anymore, so he turned around and left.
Zhou Xinping: “…”
Come back to me!
No matter what, you must admit your mistake!
