Ye Nian'an's hand, which was gripping the teacup, suddenly froze. The celadon glaze reflected her suddenly bright eyes: "Really?! Congratulations, Dad, Big Brother!"
Upon closer reflection, these should have been the predetermined paths of their lives.
Before being sent to the countryside, Ye Yao graduated from university with excellent grades, applied for a teaching position at Haicheng University, and successfully passed the assessment.
He was about to have a bright future, become a university professor that everyone envied, and marry his fiancée...
pity……
Fate plays tricks on people.
Ye Yao smiled slightly: "Thank you, Niannian."
"Zhenyuan, Chuyan, your news should arrive in the next few days. I've also heard another big piece of news—the college entrance examination is about to resume!"
"real?!"
Chi Xinyao's face lit up with joy, then she looked at Ye Nian'an and Chu Xin'er: "Niannian, Xin'er, did you hear that? The college entrance exam is coming soon!"
"So fast?"
Chu Xin'er thought to herself, "Speak of the devil and he appears."
That's perfect, she wants to go to university.
Just as she was looking at Ye Nian'an, about to say something, she suddenly realized something: "But sister-in-law, aren't you pregnant? This..."
Ye Sheng's ears were sharper than a hunting dog's. His gaze swept over Ye Nian'an's slightly protruding belly: "You're pregnant?"
"Xin'er, what does this mean? Does it mean that Niannian is pregnant again?!"
"oops!"
Chu Xin'er then realized she had let something slip, and immediately covered her mouth, putting on an innocent expression.
Chi Xinyao shook her head helplessly: "You little rascal, you really don't know how to keep your mouth shut."
Chu Xin'er said with a wronged expression, "I'm sorry, sister-in-law, I... I accidentally let it slip, it's all my fault for having such a big mouth!"
Ye Nian'an chuckled and ruffled her sister-in-law's hair with her fingertips: "Alright, it's just that I'm pregnant again, it's not like I'm some kind of heinous crime."
Ye Xiang and the others looked at Ye Nian'an excitedly: "Niannian, are you really pregnant?"
"Yes, we just found out yesterday. I think we're only six weeks along. Dad, Mom, what will happen then..."
Ye Nian'an talked about her plans after the baby was born.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of this! You just focus on getting better and giving birth to the baby!"
Jin Xiangyu agreed without hesitation.
If these parents don't help their children now, when will they ever step in?
The arrival of a new life is ultimately the greatest blessing for a family.
"Ye Xiang, Xiang Yu, thank you so much for your help."
Chu Zhenyuan scratched the back of his head, looking embarrassed.
"Zhenyuan, if you say that again, I won't like hearing it. We're all family, why are you talking like family? Forget about the friendship between our two families, Nian Nian is still our own daughter."
"Just those years we spent together during our time in the countryside, we truly went through thick and thin together, never abandoning each other. If it weren't for you, our Ye family would already be..."
"Hey, hey, it's almost Chinese New Year, such a joyous occasion, Dad, don't talk about these things."
Ye Nian'an interrupted Ye Xiang before he could finish speaking.
Ye Xiang took off his glasses, wiped away the tears welling up in his eyes, and smiled, "Niannian is right. I shouldn't have said those things. I was a little emotional just now, and the scene brought back memories. I'm sorry."
Chu Zhenyuan quickly spoke up: "It's my fault, I shouldn't have said that. I understand your intentions. Okay! Let's have a big meal tonight! It's on me! Don't argue with me, everyone!"
"Thank you, Dad (Uncle Zhenyuan)~"
Night falls.
The room was filled with the aroma of cooking, and the table was piled high with delicious food. The clinking of cups and glasses created a warm, cozy atmosphere, all intertwined in the comforting warmth of the charcoal fire.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"I'll go open the door."
Chu Yan was closest to the door, so he got up and opened it.
When he saw the person who came, Chu Yan was stunned for a moment. After a few words, he straightened his back and gave a military salute, full of gratitude.
After seeing the visitors off, Chu Yan strode into the hall and exclaimed, "Dad! People from the Political Department just came!"
"They said our application has been approved! We can be reinstated and return to the military!"
"Really? Where is the other person now?"
“He had other things to do, so I asked him to come in, but he said it wasn’t necessary.”
"Great! That's wonderful!"
Chu Zhenyuan trembled with excitement.
This was all for nothing, as he returned to Haicheng and traveled around with Chu Yan.
We've finally made it to this day.
"Zhenyuan, congratulations on you and Chu Yan being able to return to the army! This toast should be to you!"
Ye Xiang picked up his wine glass, smiled slightly, offered his congratulations, and then drank it all in one gulp.
When he learned that his and Ye Yao's applications had been approved, he carefully calculated the time and realized that it was time for Chu Zhenyuan and Chu Yan to resume their work.
After all, the country needs several months to recover after thwarting the enemy's plot, and several months have indeed passed since that major incident.
It's time to clear the names of those who were wrongly demoted and sent to their posts, and restore their original positions to stabilize public sentiment.
Thank you for your congratulations!
The moment the liquor entered their throats, the two men, their temples streaked with gray, exchanged a smile, their eyes filled with the relief of surviving a calamity.
Jin Xiangyu secretly pressed her handkerchief to the corner of her eye, while tears rolled down Chi Xinyao's flushed cheeks.
This day was really tough.
"So today is a triple celebration! My sister-in-law is pregnant, my brother and father have been reinstated, and Uncle Ye and Brother Ye Yao can go back to university."
"It's wonderful that we can reunite in Haicheng this New Year and return to where we were supposed to go after the New Year!"
