Wang Da's words were funny and made Sheng An Ning laugh the whole time. She even neglected that this meal was not a farewell meal for Zhou Shixun, but an ordinary home-cooked meal.
After Wang Da finished speaking, he praised Mu Xiaowan for being blessed: "When you were sick before, I thought you would be fine. You can tell at a glance that you are a blessed girl. Look at how thick your earlobes are and how obvious your philtrum is. You can tell at a glance that you will live a long life."
Mu Xiaowan thanked him cheerfully: "Aunt, now that you mention it, I feel like I can eat a few more dumplings tonight."
Wang Da said seriously, "Really? My aunt never lies. Although I like to talk, I am not the kind of person who only says nice things. Everything I say is the truth."
Before dinner, Zhou Luancheng also prepared to come back. After Mu Xiaowan was discharged from the hospital, Zhou Luancheng went to work, but his working hours were much more regular, so he could accompany Mu Xiaowan to have breakfast before leaving in the morning.
In the evening, I can come back and have dinner with my family.
Not to mention Mu Xiaowan's confusion, Sheng An Ning was also confused. Has there been no case solved recently?
At dinner, Zhou Shuanglu suggested that everyone drink some wine, and called Zhou Nanguang to get the wine his old comrade-in-arms had sent him: "Pour some for Shi Xun and Luan Cheng, and pour some for An Ning as well."
Sheng An Ning originally didn't want to drink, especially the kind of bulk liquor at this time, which was high in alcohol content and strong in strength.
Moreover, she used to be very self-disciplined. As a doctor, she never touched cigarettes or alcohol, especially alcohol, which would affect the stability of the operating room.
But today Zhou Shuanglu suggested that Sheng An Ning had to drink something, and she could guess that the old man must have something to say.
After the wine was poured, the old man first drank two glasses with Zhou Shixun and the others, and then urged Zhou Shixun to work hard in his new unit.
"Shi Xun, although you are a child of the Zhou family, the Zhou family owes you too much, but you are a good child. You did not give up on yourself in the harsh environment. You have come to where you are today through your own efforts, and you will get better and better in the future."
"Your father and I didn't help you at all with your achievements today, but we are enjoying the honor you brought us. We are proud of you!"
When he was moved, the old man's voice trembled a little. They all kept in their hearts the debt they owed Zhou Shixun, and what they missed could not be made up.
But I am also glad that he is living a good life and doing an excellent job now.
After Zhou Shuanglu finished his sigh, he raised his glass and looked at An Ning: "An Ning, this glass of wine is for you. You and Shi Xun have a small family, and you are destined to pay the most. You have raised the three children very well. In the future, I will ask you to worry about this family."
"Grandpa is old now, and if I talk too much, it might annoy you. Their profession means they cannot take care of both their family and their country. If they want to be worthy of the country and the people, they will definitely let you down and wrong you."
Sheng An Ning's eyes suddenly turned red, and she looked at Zhou Shuanglu seriously and firmly: "Grandpa, I am not wronged. I am very happy to be able to marry Zhou Shixun! I am also very lucky to have such a good family like you!"
Maybe it was because of the separation, or maybe it was because of Sheng Anning’s heartfelt words.
Zhou Shixun, who was always silent and calm, now had red eyes.
There seemed to be a faint light of water, but when I blinked, the light disappeared, leaving only a faint red dot at the end of my eye.
The drinking session lasted a little late, and the three children couldn't hold it any longer, so they fell asleep in the arms of Zhou Shixun, Sheng Anning, and Zhou Nanguang respectively.
Until the show ended at twelve o'clock, Sheng Anning suggested that the children sleep with her and Zhou Shixun at night, so that the little ones would not wake up in the middle of the night and not see their father, and when they woke up the next morning, their father would be gone, and they would be sad and heartbroken.
The children slept in the middle, and Zhou Shixun and Sheng Anning sat on both sides, looking at the sleeping faces of the three children.
Zhou Shixun tucked in the corner of An An's quilt and whispered, "When I see An An and the others next time, they will probably be able to recognize a lot of words."
Suddenly I felt a little sad, as if I would miss a lot of the growth process of my children.
Sheng An Ning smiled and said, "If you can't come back for the New Year, we will see if we can go see you. If not, we will write to you and bring the children to see you as soon as I graduate. It will only take two years. They will just learn a few more words and grow a little taller, but they are still three little naughty kids."
Zhou Shixun looked up at Sheng Anning with deep eyes: "I'm sorry."
Sheng An Ning approached carefully, stretched out her hand to hold Zhou Shixun's arm, and rested her head on his shoulder: "Why are you so polite? Did grandpa's words touch you deeply? In fact, it's not very hard. On the contrary, I have always been the one who is taken care of. Dad takes good care of me, as does Aunt Hongyun. Many people in school say that I don't look like someone who is married and has children. Do you know why?"
"Because I have never been tortured by life, never experienced the embarrassment of taking care of children, doing housework, and struggling for a living. I have always been spoiled by you. Except for having three more children, it is no different from when I was a girl."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips and curved his eyes: "Zhou Changsuo, I am very happy to come to this world and meet you."
The two hugged each other quietly, without any other thoughts, but the air was filled with bubbles that were so sweet that it was sickening.
…
The next day, Zhou Shixun left late and the three children had already gotten up. The little ones knew that their father was leaving, so some hugged his arms, and some hugged his legs.
He cried and didn't let his dad leave.
In the end, Sheng An Ning coaxed them to let their father go with some White Rabbit candies.
After whispering in their ears for a while, An An suddenly changed his nature. With a candy in his mouth, he waved his little hand at Zhou Shixun and said incoherently, "Goodbye, Dad."
Zhou Zhou and Mo Mo followed suit and said goodbye to their father.
At the gate, Sheng An Ning's heart suddenly felt empty as he watched Zhou Shixun get into the car that came to pick him up and leave. He was stunned for a moment, then took the three children home.
Zhou Hongyun thought of a question, "An Ning, when the weather gets warmer, will An An and the others go to the nursery? Shi Xun is not at work, so it's not convenient for us to pick him up. I think we don't need to send him there, right? Aunt Zhang and I can take care of him."
Sheng Anning had considered it before and still wanted to send her three children to a nursery.
Because there was no one to pick him up, I was still hesitant and thought for a while: "No, I can just send him to a nearby nursery. Isn't there a nursery on the street?"
Zhou Hongyun shook his head. "That nursery? I heard the food there isn't good, and the attitude of the staff there isn't good either. They look at the child based on his or her family background. If the child has connections at home, they'll take better care of him or her. If the child doesn't have connections, they don't care whether he or she is well fed or not. We can't send our children there to be abused."
Sheng An Ning was still hesitating, Zhou Nanguang said, "Just go to the nursery at Shi Xun's workplace. I'll pick you up every day. An Ning, just study hard."
As he was speaking, Aurora suddenly started barking nervously...
