Laughter drifted from afar. Chu Xin'er was holding Ye Yao's arm, her eyes and brows beaming with joy, talking to Ye Hui and Ye Sheng about something.
Chu Yan's gaze swept across the crowd, becoming increasingly gentle, like melting snow in winter, flowing over layers of ice that had stood for years.
"Yes, if time could stand still at this moment, we would all be so happy. We wouldn't have to think about being separated, and we would have to wait so long to see each other again."
Ye Nian'an said with heartfelt emotion.
This time, it was truly to celebrate that the two families had the opportunity to get together.
Once they returned to their respective units, even with the status of barefoot doctors, they still had to find a suitable opportunity to meet.
This is nothing like the old days in Haicheng, where everyone could see each other whenever they wanted.
There are still more than two years before the country truly opens up...
Although I have high expectations, it's still going to be a long time.
At that moment, Ye Nian'an suddenly thought of Zhang Weiguo.
I wonder how he and Shen Xiang and their son have been doing since I left?
Perhaps he's already taken them with him to join the army, leaving the Zhang family with a huge mess to deal with.
Ye Nian'an thought of Zhang Weiguo for no other reason than simply wanting to see how miserable he was now.
The more miserable and chaotic the scumbag's family is, the more Ye Nian'an will feel! The better she'll be!
Soon, all the dishes in the restaurant were served.
With so many people eating together, we ordered a total of eight dishes and a soup.
Since it's a celebration, let's go all out.
While we should live frugally, we shouldn't skimp on spending money when necessary.
"Come on, let's celebrate Nian Nian's great success in passing the barefoot doctor exam! Here's a big chicken leg for you!"
Chu Zhenyuan placed the large chicken leg into Ye Nian'an's bowl.
Ye Nian'an said sweetly, "Thank you, Father-in-law!"
“Come on, Niannian, this part of the fish is the best. I remember you like fish the most. Try it.”
Ye Xiang also picked up a piece of fish belly meat and put it into Ye Nian'an's bowl.
"Thank you, Dad!"
"Niannian, eat this, roast duck!"
"Niannian, this Mapo Tofu looks good, have a bite."
"Nian Nian..."
"Nian Nian..."
Before Ye Nian'an could even react, the plate in front of her was piled high with food.
Seeing that some people were still trying to put food in her bowl, Ye Nian'an immediately waved her hand: "Cough cough cough! Everyone, please eat, please eat! I've had enough! I can't eat anymore!"
"Hehe~ Sister-in-law is truly our darling!"
Chu Xin'er really wanted to sit next to Ye Nian'an, but unfortunately Chu Yan had already taken all the seats. How annoying!
After the meal, the two families left the state-run restaurant.
It's almost time.
There are still so many topics we could talk about.
Chi Xinyao and Jin Xiangyu held hands, but when it was time to part, she couldn't help but tear up.
"Once this busy period is over, I'll come to see you with Niannian. No matter what, you must take good care of yourself."
"Okay, I'll wait for you to come. Once the farm work is finished, we'll have more time to chat."
Ye Nian'an looked at the three Ye brothers and said, "Eldest brother, second brother, third brother, take good care of Mom and Dad."
"We will. You take good care of yourself too, Nian Nian."
"Brother-in-law, we are entrusting our precious little sister to you."
At this moment, they no longer idolized Chu Yan, but rather saw him as Ye Nian'an's older brother.
Hopefully, Chu Yan can fulfill his responsibilities as a husband and take good care of their precious little sister.
Although they had complete trust in Chu Yan's character, they were still worried about the possibility of something going wrong...
Chu Yan dared to upset Ye Nian'an, and he will definitely not let her off easily!
Chu Yan nodded solemnly, as if making a lifelong promise, his expression dignified: "I will, eldest brother, second brother, third brother."
Chu Xin'er's lips curled into a smile: "Don't worry, my three brothers, if any of my own brothers dare to treat my sister-in-law badly, I'll be the first to teach him a lesson without you even having to tell me! I'll keep a close eye on him!"
"Then it's up to you, Xin'er. Take a good look at your brother."
Ye Sheng winked at Chu Xin'er, then looked at Ye Nian'an and patted her head: "Niannian, although you've grown up, become more sensible, and more capable, don't shoulder everything."
“You have the Chu family around you, and your parents have our three older brothers, so you don’t need to worry about so much. Just think about how to live a happy and fulfilling life, and that’s enough.”
"As long as you are safe and well, that is the greatest comfort to us."
Ye Nian'an felt a warmth in her heart as she listened: "Yes! I will, Third Brother."
After parting ways, the Chu family returned to the educated youth settlement by donkey cart.
Starting tomorrow, Ye Nian'an will be certified to work at the rural cooperative medical station, and she won't be able to sleep in anymore.
"Niannian, I'll take you to the medical station by bicycle tomorrow."
“Great, Brother Yan, we’ve already bought a new car, might as well use it.”
For dinner, we just packed up the leftovers from the state-run restaurant and made do with whatever was available.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Ye Nian'an returned to the educated youth settlement, many people came to greet her, try to get close to her, and even brought some small gifts.
Ye Nian'an was surprised for a moment, then understood.
Now she is practically the "only" doctor in the village. If someone in the family has a minor illness or pain, they just endure it and don't want to spend money.
But if you really can't stand it anymore, you can't just wait to die; you still have to see a doctor and spend the money you need to.
If I can build a good relationship with Ye Nian'an now, she'll be more attentive when I treat her illness, and maybe I can even save some money.
