Sheng An Ning looked at her after getting off work: "New Year's Day is coming soon. It won't be long before the Chinese New Year. The family should prepare New Year's goods. I thought we could go shopping together after we both have some rest. We can still celebrate the New Year at home this year, but it's unlikely that we can come back to celebrate the New Year next year, so I want to buy more things this year and have a good New Year."
Mu Xiaowan exclaimed: "Are you not coming back for the New Year next year? I'll be on vacation then and go find you."
Sheng Anning kindly reminded her: "You may not have a chance. Even Sundays are a luxury after work. How can you want a long vacation? Unless you get pregnant right after you get married and take maternity leave early."
Mu Xiaowan screamed and tried to grab Sheng Anning: "You are so good at talking nonsense."
The two of them laughed and joked for a while, and then they saw Sun Xuemei come in with a red face, holding a lunch box in her hand. She saw Sheng Anning and Mu Xiaowan were stunned for a moment, and asked Sheng Anning: "Anning, you didn't go to the cafeteria to eat."
Sheng Anning nodded: "Xiao Wan brought me some Shaomai."
Sun Xuemei greeted Mu Xiaowan again and returned to her seat with a happy look on her face.
Mu Xiaowan couldn't help but ask: "School girl, what are you so happy about? Are you dating someone?"
Sun Xuemei's face turned even redder, and she quickly denied it: "Oh, no, don't talk nonsense."
Sheng An Ning then noticed that Sun Xuemei's blushing face was indeed abnormal. It was not because of being cold outside, but because of shyness and excitement. Could it be that she was really dating someone?
I haven't seen her getting close to anyone in the hospital.
But he still reminded her: "Xuemei, if you want to date someone, you must think carefully. If you are assigned back to your hometown, you two can't be together."
It is even crueler now than in the future. In the past, people always said that graduation was the breakup season, but as long as they worked hard, two people could develop in the same city. But now, they have to obey the assignment, and no one knows where they will be assigned.
Sun Xuemei knew that Sheng Anning was doing this for her own good, so she nodded: "I know."
Mu Xiaowan sat for a while, and went to see Song Xiuyan with Sheng Anning again.
Song Xiuyan was alone in the ward. His rejection period had passed and he would be discharged in a few days. He could take care of himself, so he asked Grandma Song to go back and rest, as she couldn't sleep well in the hospital.
Grandma Song couldn't sit still, so she should go back to prepare lunch for Song Xiuyan.
Mu Xiaowan greeted Song Xiuyan: "You look good, better than we thought. You looked so scary back then."
Song Xiuyan smiled faintly: "Do you think I won't live long?"
Mu Xiaowan nodded: "Yes, it's a miracle that you are still alive."
Song Xiuyan sighed slightly: "I am lucky enough to meet my savior."
Mu Xiaowan nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I was just lucky, so you must recover well and return to work as soon as possible. You can't let your savior down."
After teasing Song Xiuyan, Grandma Song came to deliver the meal. It was cold and the road was slippery, but she insisted on walking slowly, leaning on her crutches and carrying the lunch box wrapped in a thick towel.
It takes her half an hour to walk a distance that takes more than ten minutes for young people. Even so, she would not let others do it for her. She would do it herself and only feel at ease after seeing her grandson eat it with her own eyes.
Seeing Sheng An Ning and Mu Xiao Wan in the ward, he said cheerfully: "Oh, I didn't know you were here too. If I had known, I would have packed more dumplings. I made fennel dumplings today."
Mu Xiaowan was very surprised: "Grandma, there is actually fennel in this icy and snowy place?"
Grandma Song smiled cheerfully, "Xiuyan's father asked someone to send it here. Since he couldn't come back, he asked someone to get some from the inner vegetable garden."
Sheng Anning also knew that although most northerners could only eat radishes, cabbages and potatoes in winter, the leaders could eat fresh vegetables. They had special vegetable plots, which were different from the later greenhouses and were more like glass sunrooms.
While ensuring that citizens have enough vegetables to eat, we must also ensure that there are a variety of vegetables on the leaders' tables.
Sheng An Ning thought that it might be from this time that the two-tier differentiation began to appear, and it would become more and more serious in the future.
Grandma Song opened the layer upon layer of towels wrapped around her, then opened the lid of the lunch box. The dumplings inside were still steaming, filling up the entire lunch box.
"Xiao Wan, An Ning, you guys come over to eat too?"
Sheng An Ning quickly shook her head: "No, we just had lunch, you ask Xiu Yan to eat quickly, grandma, have you eaten?"
Grandma Song smiled and said, "I ate it. I ate it before I brought it to San'er."
Song Xiuyan was helpless. San'er was a nickname that grandma would call out whenever she was happy. "Grandma, I'll do it myself. You sit down and have a rest for a while. I'll get a small bowl for you to share. You must have not eaten anything."
After saying that, he got up and went out to the bathroom to boil the dishes he had washed in the morning.
While Song Xiuyan was out, Grandma Song quickly asked Sheng Anning, "Anning, is that girl Zhong Yuan gone?"
Sheng Anning nodded: "Let's go."
Grandma Song sighed, "Are these two kids destined to be together? I've seen Xiuyan being very calm these past two days. The calmer he is, the more uneasy I feel. The last time he was this calm, he secretly signed up to join the army. He was in poor health, and we all disagreed with him going. He was noisy at first, but later he said he didn't want to go. He stayed at home every day like nothing had happened, and then he secretly went away without anyone watching him."
"I'm afraid he'll be so stubborn about Zhong Yuan's matter."
I feel sorry for his grandson just thinking about it. What sin has he committed? In reality, Zhou Chaoyang doesn't like him at all, and then there's Zhong Yuan whose family doesn't agree.
Why is it so difficult for her grandson to find a wife?
Mu Xiaowan felt that he was confident: "I think Song Xiuyan must be sure, or he and Zhong Yuan have already agreed. As for the parents, the two of them can slowly work together to overcome it."
Grandma Song could do nothing but sigh.
…
Three days later, Song Xiuyan was discharged from the hospital. All his physical indicators had returned to normal. His rapid recovery surprised the doctors.
All that’s left is to go home and rest. You should be able to fully recover in a month or two.
However, Song Xiuyan refused to rest in Beijing and asked to return to Jiuquan. No matter how Grandma Song tried to persuade him, it was useless.
He also said to Grandma Song calmly: "Do you want me to find you a granddaughter-in-law as soon as possible?"
Grandma Song stopped trying to stop him: "Can you really bring Zhong Yuan back? You must talk to her parents properly, don't let things get awkward, or it will make things difficult for Zhong Yuan. You also have to understand that they only have this one daughter, so it's reasonable for them to worry about her."
After saying that, he thought for a moment and said, “Wait a minute.”
She hurried into the inner bedroom, rummaged around for a while, and then hurried out, bringing Song Xiuyan a red velvet bag: "This jade bracelet is for Zhong Yuan."
