The thought of her mother, who gave birth to and raised her, taking her last breath filled Qin Yaqing with unbearable pain.
"Remember what you said."
After saying this, Qin Boyan got up and left.
Factory Director Zhang's home.
Hearing footsteps outside the door, Chen Dongxu looked at Sun Hao, who understood and quickly got up from his bed to open the door.
"Dr. Song."
The moment Sun Hao opened the door, Chen Dongxu looked up at the entrance and saw Song Lan's figure appear before his eyes.
"Sister Song Lan, you and Brother Dongxu can chat for a while. I won't disturb you any longer."
The speaker was Zhang Meiyun, the factory director's daughter.
When Song Lan arrived at Factory Director Zhang's house, she chatted with Factory Director Zhang and his wife for a few minutes. When she heard that she had come to see Chen Dongxu, before Factory Director Zhang and his wife could say anything, Zhang Meiyun took the initiative to lead Song Lan to the door of the room where Chen Dongxu and Sun Hao were staying.
"Dr. Song."
Sun Hao greeted Song Lan.
"Comrade Sun, I'd like to say a few words to Comrade Chen."
With a smile in her bright eyes, Song Lan entered the room and turned to Chen Dongxu, saying, "I plan to return to Beijing on the afternoon of the 30th, and I have to come back here on the afternoon of the 2nd of the lunar new year. I will be on duty at the hospital on the 3rd."
"My older brother is coming to pick me up tomorrow, so I'll come see you on the afternoon of the first day of the Lunar New Year. Is that a good time?"
Chen Dongze felt it wouldn't be appropriate for him to stay at home for only two or three days before leaving again after leaving home, having been away from home for some time to seek treatment for his legs from Dr. Song.
After all, his grandparents had always been very good to him. He felt bad if he didn't spend more time with them during the Chinese New Year. Even if his father, brother, and grandparents didn't say anything to him, he himself would feel guilty.
"Of course, that's possible."
Song Lan smiled and said, "I'll give you my specific address and my home landline number in Beijing."
"I'm so sorry to bother you during the Chinese New Year. Please forgive me, Dr. Song. I just wanted to stay in Beijing for a few more days to spend time with my grandparents and my dad."
Chen Dongxu explained apologetically.
Song Lan shook her head and said with a smile, "There's no question of disturbing you. Besides, I was the one who suggested that you come to my house during the Chinese New Year to receive acupuncture."
Taking the paper and pen from Sun Hao, Song Lan quickly wrote down the Qin family's address and landline number in Beijing.
"Should we have Comrade Sun keep it for you...?"
Song Lan placed the pen on the desk beside her, looked up at Chen Dongxu, and heard him say, "I'll keep it myself."
"good."
Walking to Chen Dongxu's bedside, Song Lan handed him the piece of paper in her hand and said, "Your leg is in the recovery period, so you must avoid further trauma."
"I will be careful."
Looking at his own legs, Chen Dongxu replied.
"Then you all rest, I won't stay any longer."
After glancing at Chen Dongxu, Song Lan nodded to Sun Hao as a farewell.
After seeing her to the door, Sun Hao turned and went inside. He casually closed the door and sat back on his bed.
“When my older brother first brought me here to get my legs treated, I really didn’t have much hope, especially when I saw that the person who was going to treat my legs was a girl who wasn’t even as old as me. At that moment, I almost completely gave up hope.”
Unexpectedly, this girl, who was considered hopeless in curing my legs and was younger than me, actually possessed remarkable medical skills… Brother Sun, I now truly understand the meaning of 'the accomplished prevail.'”
As Chen Dongxu spoke, his eyes gradually reddened: "It was Dr. Song who gave me hope, allowing me to recover from being a cripple so quickly. I am very grateful to her. What gift do you think I should bring her on the first day of the Lunar New Year?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Hao pondered for a while before saying, "Gifts are about the sentiment; their value is not important."
"No, I think the value of a gift is just as important as the sentiment behind it!"
Chen Dongxu said earnestly, "After all, Dr. Song is like a new life to me. If the gift I give is too ordinary, it will be difficult to express my gratitude to her."
"I can't think of that."
Sun Hao smiled and shook his head, saying, "Why don't you think about it carefully yourself? But I'll say it again: it's the thought that counts. As long as you put your heart into it, Dr. Song will definitely be very happy to receive it. But if your gift is too expensive, given Dr. Song's character, I think she will probably refuse it."
"..."
Chen Dongxu was stunned. After a long while, he smiled bitterly: "You're right. Given Dr. Song's character, she really wouldn't accept an expensive gift." Then what should he give her?
For a moment, Chen Dongxu fell into deep thought.
-
The 29th day of the twelfth lunar month.
It was close to 7 p.m.
Qin Yanzheng finally returned home after working continuously for many days.
"I'm back."
As he stepped into the courtyard, he saw Song Lan coming out of the kitchen. Qin Yanzheng's usually cold eyes immediately lit up with a smile, and even the corners of his mouth curled up, showing how happy he was the moment he saw Song Lan.
"...You're back. Just in time for dinner. You and Comrade Wu, go wash your hands. I'll bring you your food."
When Song Lan heard Qin Yanzheng's voice, her beautiful eyes lit up instantly. She turned her head and met Qin Yanzheng's smiling gaze. Her voice was light and cheerful.
Several figures walked out of the living room one after another.
Qin Boyan's eyes lit up with surprise: "Big Brother!"
Qin Yaxin was equally overjoyed: "Big brother, you're finally home!"
The adorable little Wu ran straight to Qin Yanzheng with her short legs, hugged her big brother's long legs, and tilted her head up, saying, "Big brother, I missed you so much. Did you miss me?"
"Um."
Picking up the little guy, Qin Yanzheng casually weighed him in his hand and said, "He's gotten heavier. Looks like he's been eating a lot while I was away."
"I eat a lot at every meal, my sister-in-law says that's how I can grow taller quickly!"
The adorable little boy, Xiao Wu, looked smug.
That's right.
After settling the little one down, Qin Yanzheng looked at the little girl with a gentle gaze and said softly, "Little Six has grown quite a bit taller. It seems she hasn't been eating too much while her older brother was away."
The little girl was a bit shy, but she still nodded her head and said "Mmm".
Wu Dong washed his hands and followed Qin Boyan into the living room.
Qin Yaxin beckoned the two little ones to walk behind the two of them.
"Sister-in-law, let me serve you."
Seeing Song Lan carrying two bowls of rice out of the kitchen, Qin Yaqing went forward to help.
"I can."
Song Lan smiled and said, "The food is all on the table. Come in before it gets cold."
"good."
She agreed verbally, but Qin Yaqing didn't move. She was looking at the familiar figure not far away, her lips slightly pursed. When she saw the other person wash their hands, pick up the basin and pour water, she quickly looked away.
She didn't know what she was afraid of. No, perhaps she knew, but she was afraid to face the owner of that figure.
"What? You're afraid to look at me?!"
Qin Yanzheng put the basin down and fixed his gaze on Qin Yaqing, his eyes deep and unreadable.
"Big brother..."
Qin Yaqing called out to Qin Yanzheng, meeting his gaze, but quickly looked away.
You're feeling guilty.
Qin Yanzheng wasn't asking a question; he was stating a fact.
