A table of people drank and ate until midnight before leaving. They originally wanted to stay up together to celebrate the New Year, but Jiang Mengxue really couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep on a recliner nearby without knowing when.
When I woke up in the morning, I was already lying in bed. There was a lot of talking outside. It must be people coming to pay New Year's greetings.
I picked up the watch under my pillow and looked at the time. It was already past eight in the morning.
She didn't expect to wake up until now. Even the loud noise outside didn't wake her up.
Jiang Mengxue covered her face. Even if she thought about it now, she was too embarrassed to go out. If people saw her, who would sleep so soundly and wake up at this hour?
I changed into an ordinary cotton jacket. Fortunately there was a kettle in the room. I washed up before opening the door and going out.
Just as I opened the door and was about to go out, Gu Qingbei also opened the door from the outside and was about to come in.
"Are you awake? Are you hungry?"
Gu Qingbei just came in to see if anyone was awake, as there were so many people outside and the noise was too loud.
But it was New Year's Day, and she couldn't chase people away when they came to pay their New Year's greetings, so Luan Huiying had to find an opportunity to invite Gu Qingbei to come and take a look.
I was afraid that Jiang Mengxue would wake up and feel embarrassed to go out of the house, and then wait there with an empty stomach.
"Who's out there? Is it bad if I go out now?"
Gu Qingbei took Jiang Mengxue's hand and walked out of the room: "It's okay, they are just some people from the family compound, I don't know them either."
Not only was the living room full, but some people even brought their own stools and sat at the door.
I don’t know what these people are thinking, but they all came to the Gu family today.
Seeing the two people come out, everyone looked over.
Some looked with kindness, some looked with curiosity, and of course some looked unkindly.
Someone said, "This must be Dean Luan's daughter-in-law. She's so lucky! No other daughter-in-law can sleep through the night. How could she let her mother-in-law wait on her? Dean Luan, you have a good temper."
Someone on the other side said, "That's right. Didn't we say before that it would be a blessing to have Dean Luan as a mother-in-law?"
"What era is this? You still expect your daughter-in-law to serve your mother-in-law. She died so early in the morning. What good things are you thinking about?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's attention turned to the person who said them.
Jiang Mengxue then noticed that the other person was a little girl sitting on the sofa. She had two pigtails, a small round face and almond eyes. She looked very cute and didn't look like someone who would offend others at all.
The person sitting next to her should be her mother. She patted her leg but didn't say anything about her talking nonsense.
"Look at this kid, what nonsense is he talking about."
Luan Huiying's originally gloomy face burst into laughter after hearing this.
"That's right. It's a different era now. Besides, marrying a daughter-in-law is not like hiring a nanny. What's wrong with young people sleeping in? Even pregnancy is like this. Back then, I wished I could sleep twenty hours a day.
Xiaoxue, the rice is in the pot, Xiaobei, go get it."
There were so many people sitting in the room, Jiang Mengxue felt embarrassed to eat in front of them.
So he said hello and followed Gu Qingbei to the kitchen.
Gu Qingbei went out to exercise and eat early in the morning, waiting for Jiang Mengxue to get up and eat together.
"Wife, I have to go back tomorrow. I have a mission. When do you and Uncle and Auntie plan to go home?"
Gu Qingbei spoke with some hesitation. He originally wanted to go back with them on the same train and get off halfway.
But I didn't expect to receive a call from Lu Zhengming this morning and I needed to rush back. This was because Lu Zhengming was helping me take care of it for two days, otherwise I would have to rush back today.
After this separation, I don’t know when we will meet again. It makes me sad just thinking about it.
Jiang Mengxue didn't expect that they would be separated so soon.
"Then I'll go with you tomorrow? We're going back in two days anyway, so it's okay to go two days early."
It would be good to spend more time together.
Luan Huiying was a little caught off guard. Why were they leaving right after the Chinese New Year? Didn’t they agree to wait until after the eighth day of the New Year?
"Why so sudden? It's too late to buy tickets now. Besides, I haven't packed my things yet. I was thinking of buying some local specialties for you to take back. You should bring some specialties to your friends and relatives. Otherwise, it would be a wasted trip."
Li Cuiying and Gu Zhenhai didn't expect to go back so soon. They were still planning to visit a nearby town in the next two days. After all, it was not easy for them to come here.
Although I felt regretful, I didn't dwell on it too much. It's not like I won't have another chance in the future.
In the morning, they saw off the guests who came to pay New Year's greetings, and in the afternoon, they started packing their luggage for the return trip at home.
"Why don't you stay here for a few days, Uncle and Aunt? Qingbei and I can leave first. We're not in a hurry to go back anyway."
Li Cuiying was still looking around for what to pack. In fact, there was nothing left to pack except clothes and other things.
You can't take back the food you brought with you at great length.
Hearing that Jiang Mengxue wanted to go back first, Li Cuiying was relieved: "How can you do it alone? It will take several days along the way. I won't dare to go without someone to look after my luggage. It's safer for us to go together.
Besides, these two days won’t make any difference.
By the way, Xiaoxue, has the hospital approved your application to go to the countryside? How will you arrange your work when you return?"
If Jiang Mengxue's job can really be transferred to the Leaping Squadron, then they can move back after they return.
In fact, it would be nice to be able to retire in the countryside. At least you will be surrounded by your family members, and Li Cuiying is quite willing to do so.
Jiang Mengxue thought about it and felt that it was not certain, as the hospital had been suppressing the matter and had not responded before.
In addition, the Public Security Bureau has given me several banners before. As a doctor in the hospital, this is also good for the hospital's reputation. At least the leaders above will have a much better impression of the hospital.
If you look at it this way, the dean may not agree.
Jiang Mengxue thought that if the dean really rejected it, she would have to think of a solution when she returned.
"We'll have to wait and see. It's not certain yet."
Li Cuiying nodded. There was no need to worry about such a small matter. If the hospital did not agree, they could just find someone who would agree.
While they were still spinning this thing outside, Luan Huiying ran back into the house and came out soon with her bag.
"I'll be back later, so you don't have to wait for me for dinner."
Before anyone could react, she ran out the door with her bag on her back and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Jiang Mengxue and Li Cuiying looked at each other, wondering what she was doing.
Gu Qingbei followed Jiang Mengxue back into the house.
Jiang Mengxue remembered that she had gone to an orphanage when she was at home.
When talking about the whole thing, Jiang Mengxue remembered that she had never mentioned such a big thing to Gu Qingbei.
