After staying in Ontario for a week, they visited the Ontario Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from beginning to end. They also attended the morning meeting of the hospital every morning. The small notebook that Director Liu carried with him was full of notes. Every day, the old man smiled brighter than a flower!
It was another night of dining in the Dream Love "canteen". Shen An Ning changed her food every night. The food in this canteen was of many varieties and tasted good, which she liked very much.
"An Ning, you've been eating well lately. You look much better, and your face is rounder too."
"Sister, what are you talking about? Our Ningning has always looked very healthy and rosy. It's just that sometimes she gets overworked, which is understandable."
Listening to these words, Shen Anning smiled bitterly in her heart. It was all her dear senior sisters who saved her life!
This week, every morning and evening, Shen An Ning was on the phone with the clingy guy at home, and was caught by the two senior sisters several times. Many times, they were talking about love, and the social death scene was just like that.
"Senior sisters, please let me go. Seriously, this soup is really delicious. I'll go buy you two bowls."
"Hahahaha, hey, An Ning, why are you running? What's there to be embarrassed about? We've all been through this. You're still so young, we all understand. It's a good thing that your Jing Heng doesn't want to be separated from you."
This time when I came here to visit and learn, the person in charge of the Ontario Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine did not hold back at all. He really taught me everything he knew and even took out some ancient folk remedies collected in the hospital.
Director Liu and his graduate students would exclaim in amazement every time they copied a prescription. He would be anxious when others wanted to help, fearing that someone with clumsy hands would break these precious items.
We stayed in Ontario for ten days in total, and everyone gained a lot from everything. Director Liu knew that everyone had been very busy during this period, so he was very easy to talk to in the last two days. He was busy building good relationships with the hospital's director and did not force everyone to stay in the hospital all the time.
Ontario has been a center for the circulation of materials since ancient times. Many years ago, the first people to push carts to do business outside were Hui merchants. The label of Hui merchants is still well-known throughout the country.
Shen Anning and her two fellow senior sisters naturally went out shopping together. In the past few years, the children of the senior sisters and brothers have been working part-time as consultants and researchers in Huayan while attending school. They also get shares and have already earned money that ordinary people cannot earn in their entire lives. Therefore, the family conditions of the senior brothers and sisters have improved by more than one level. Naturally, they are willing to spend money on this trip.
Chen An Ning had no shortage of clothes and shoes. The few of them mainly bought various specialties and food. There was no other way. The big and small children in the family, married or not, were all greedy girls and boys. They called every night, especially Yuanbao and Tangyuan, who had to emphasize once and for all that their mother should not forget to bring them delicious food.
After walking around outside for a whole day, there were so many delicious foods that Shen An Ning and her two sisters were so full that they could buy a lot to take away, such as baked cakes, sesame cakes, white slices, peach cakes, and sesame cakes. These can be kept for a while. Thinking of so many people at home, as well as her sisters-in-law's families, and many relatives and friends, if she bought less, she might not be able to get a share for one family. Shen An Ning directly asked the store to pack the food in large cardboard boxes. Every time she went to a store, she and her two sisters would buy almost all the freshly made food.
What impressed Shen An Ning the most were the Huangshan sesame cakes and Zhan's peach cakes. They were different from anything she had eaten before, and the first bite was a pleasant surprise. In these two stores alone, she and her two senior sisters spent a total of 1,600 yuan. In today's world where the average salary is only 160 or 170 yuan, this is simply the work of the rich.
Looking at the boxes piled up at the door, Fan Wenhui and Liu Yu both couldn't stop laughing. They were both old, and their children were in their twenties and thirties. It was the first time for them to spend so crazily as grandmothers.
"How can we handle so many?"
Shen Anning called the train station. One of her second brother's comrades was assigned to the train station in Ontario after his demobilization. He held a very high position. It was not a problem to ask him to help reserve some space in the freight car.
"Sisters, don't worry, we can buy so much and there will be enough space for it. These foods can be stored for a few months anyway. I don't think there will be much left at home after we go back to send them to relatives and friends." They called two tricycles and transported the things to the warehouse at the train station, waiting for them to leave together on the train back to Beijing tomorrow.
They left the hotel at 7:30 in the morning and walked around until after 10 o'clock in the evening. They ate a lot of snacks at the night market. Only then did the three women of different ages give up, holding their stomachs.
The purchased items were all placed in the cargo compartment, and everyone was still traveling light, just like when they came here. We really learned a lot on this trip, so everyone had a smile on their face.
Before getting in the car, taking advantage of the good signal, Shen Anning called home.
"Hello, grandma."
"Hey, An Ning, are you tired from this business trip? Jing Heng said this morning that if you come back today, grandma will make you something delicious."
"Okay, grandma, I bought a lot of things. Please remember to ask the factory master to drive a truck over when the time comes."
Grandma Cao agreed immediately. Her granddaughter-in-law had been away on business for more than ten days, but she still remembered to buy things for the family. All the money in the family would be left to them and their three great-grandchildren in the future. The more she bought, the happier she would be as an old woman.
In order to give the children at home a surprise, Cao Jingheng and his grandparents concealed the news that Shen Anning was returning from her business trip until noon on the day when Shen Anning's train was due to arrive.
