After frying the pasta for several hours, we started frying the meatballs.
The children ran back and forth, their pockets full, their hands greasy from eating.
Did you know that "Journey to the West" will premiere on the first day of the Lunar New Year this year?
Messages were passed between the children.
"Wow! It's the Journey to the West about Sun Wukong causing havoc in Heaven? I want to watch it too!"
"I have a TV at home!"
"My family has one too! My dad just bought one!"
Hu Zhenghao overheard his friend's words: "A TV! My family has one! Grandma Yang's family has one too! That's great!"
"Grandma, Grandma! I want to see Sun Wukong!"
Before Da Bao even entered the house, he started shouting again.
"What?"
Yang Yufen didn't hear clearly.
"The kids said they want to watch Sun Wukong, but it won't air until the evening of the first day of the Lunar New Year. If you all behave well, you can watch it then!"
Professor Wen actually knows this.
"Do you know which famous novel Sun Wukong comes from?"
Professor Wen sets the exam questions randomly.
"Journey to the West!"
Wang Xing was the first to react and answer.
"Very good. Besides Sun Wukong, who else do you know?"
Hu Zhenghao was quick to speak up.
"Okay, then who can tell this story?"
Although we haven't watched it on TV yet, that doesn't stop us from reading the comic book. Hu Zhenghao has read it, and Wang Xing has read it too.
Yao Yao and the twins shook their heads.
Several children huddled together, eating and telling stories, with Professor Wen adding to their conversation. Before they even started reading, the story had already captivated the group of children.
"Old Hu, we're spending New Year's Eve at Yufen's place this year. Are you able to take a break then?"
Professor Wen poured a glass of hot water for her husband, who returned home late at night.
“I was just about to say that I might not be coming home tonight anymore. The research institute is busy, so I'm leaving the kids to you.”
Dean Hu looked at his wife with some guilt.
The wife shouldn't have retired so early, but for her own sake and for the sake of the family, she chose to step down at this time, all to accommodate him and relieve him of any worries.
"You need to take care of yourself too. I'll pack your things so it'll be convenient to take them with you tomorrow."
Professor Wen was very understanding of her husband's thoughts.
“Our in-laws have helped us a lot, and Niannian isn’t home, so we’ll have to trouble you to take care of her.”
“I know, the current military also asked Xiaojun to take good care of them, since they are all family.”
The couple chatted for a while, and one of them lay down and fell asleep almost immediately, the dark circles under his eyes impossible to conceal. The other quietly slowed down and turned off the light.
In the hospital at night, Zhou Ang was reading by the light of the lamp. The study of medicine is endless. She was studying Western medicine, but her family had traditional Chinese medicine. However, in those turbulent times, many medical books were lost, and the medical skills were also lost. She could only learn and explore on her own.
On the other side of the sea, Qin Nian, missing her family even more during festivals, poured all her longing into her studies, not daring to stop for a moment.
