Of course, Qin's mother was very happy that he could go back, but she was more worried that Qin Zhengqi was too weak to bear it.
Today is the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month. If they buy tickets to go home now, they won't be able to celebrate New Year's Eve at home. She thinks there is no need to rush.
Besides, the journey is so long and there is no doctor. What if he feels uncomfortable on the way?
"No, you haven't been discharged from the hospital yet. How can you go home? Wait until you recover."
Shen Anyian also agreed with Qin's mother's point of view.
"Yes, let's wait a little longer. You have a month's vacation anyway. We can go back together then."
Since they all objected, Qin Zhengqi didn't insist anymore.
Shen Annian went to the guesthouse to cook and also cooked a vegetarian dish for Han Xianling.
On the 29th day of the lunar year, Han Xianling's family came to pick him up to celebrate the New Year.
Shen Annian was surprised to find that the man with the slicked-back hair who helped him beat the little gangster that day was actually Han Xianling's grandson.
The man with the slicked-back hair hadn't expected that she would know Han Xianling, and asked in surprise, "You know my grandfather?"
"Yes, I know him."
Han Xianling looked at them in confusion, "Do you know each other?"
The man with the slicked-back hair looked at Shen Anyan and said, "You speak."
Shen Annian: "I encountered a group of hooligans a few days ago, and it was this man who helped me arrest the hooligans and took them to the police station."
The man with the slicked-back hair looked at Han Xianling with great pride, "Grandpa, you heard it, right? I saved her and took the gangster to the police station."
Grandpa always says that he is lazy and doesn't do serious work.
He now lets his grandfather know that he is doing serious things.
Han Xianling snorted coldly, "If you really want to do this, why not join the army? There will be plenty of opportunities for you to defend your country."
The man with the slicked-back hair felt a headache. "So many people in our family have joined the army, and one less person like me wouldn't make a difference. Why do you have to target me?"
"With so many people in my family joining the army, one more person like you won't make much difference."
"Grandpa, if I join the army, who will accompany you to eat New Year's Eve dinner in the future?"
“If you hadn’t joined the army, I wouldn’t have seen you come to see me.
I've been in the hospital for so long, how many times have you come to see me?"
Han Zhen: "I'm just afraid that you'll scold me again. You'll be in a bad mood the moment you see me, which will affect your recovery."
"So, you're being very careful not to come see me?"
"That's because grandpa understands my painstaking efforts."
Han Xianling was so angry that he kicked him.
Han Zhen seemed to have expected it and bounced out like a spring.
Shen Anyian was stunned.
How many times did he have to be beaten to develop such quick reaction ability?
Han Xianling was too lazy to look at Han Zhen and asked Shen Annian, "Little girl, do you want to go back with us to celebrate the New Year?"
Shen Annian shook his head. The family was reunited on New Year's Eve, so what was the point of them going back to the past?
"Thank you, Commander Han. Let's celebrate the New Year here so that the whole family can be happy."
"Okay."
Han Zhen helped Han Xianling down the stairs, and the guard followed behind with the luggage.
When Mother Qin saw them leave, she asked, "Is Commander Han discharged from the hospital?"
"Is he discharged from the hospital?"
"That's great. He'll probably be able to eat meat when he gets out, so he won't have to stay in the hospital every day clamoring for meat."
Shen Anyian laughed, "That's not the case."
Shen Annian didn't expect that Han Xianling would ask Han Zhen to send a lot of New Year's goods in the afternoon.
There are sausages, beef, and dried goods such as scallops, dried squid, and sea cucumbers.
These things are too valuable, how could Shen Annian dare to accept them.
Unexpectedly, Han Zhen threw down the things and ran away.
Shen An Nian could only put the things away and planned to make a delicious meal on New Year's Eve to reward them.
Although I can’t go home, the atmosphere of the New Year is absolutely necessary.
On New Year's Eve, Shen An Nian started preparing the New Year's Eve dinner early, and Qin's mother also came to help.
She originally wanted to call Qin's father and the others, but unfortunately the brigade had not installed a telephone yet, so if she wanted to call, she could only call the commune.
This back and forth will take quite a while.
It would be great if the brigade could install a telephone, so that we can contact each other more conveniently in the future.
Shen Anyian thought it was feasible to install telephones in the brigade.
The mooncake factory has been established, and the pig farm will gradually grow in the future, requiring more communication with manufacturers and markets.
If we call the commune every time, they will only return the call after receiving the message, which is too inefficient.
If telephones were installed in the brigade, efficiency would surely be much higher.
Shen Anyian used the existing ingredients to make a simple version of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, and also made steamed fish, crispy pork, braised spare ribs, spicy rabbit meat, and stir-fried vegetables.
Although there were only a few dishes, it took them a whole day to prepare.
After preparing the meal, they carried it to the ward and spent a warm yet lonely New Year's Eve in the hospital with Qin Zhengqi.
When Mother Qin looked at the food on the table, she couldn't help but think of Father Qin and the others.
In the past, she was the one who prepared the New Year’s Eve dinner. This year, she was not at home on New Year’s Eve, so I wonder how they spent the year.
Seeing her sad face, Shen Annian asked her, "Mom, why are you unhappy?"
"I'm not unhappy. I just miss your dad and the others at home. I wonder what they're doing right now? Are they eating well at home?"
“Mom, why are you worrying about them? There are so many people at home, it must be very lively.
Besides, everyone has made money this year, so they will definitely have a good Spring Festival."
After hearing what she said, Qin's mother felt relieved.
“You’re right, I just like to worry about nothing.
Don’t think about them anymore, come, let’s eat our own food.”
