As soon as the summer vacation started, the children in the family became a little impatient, especially Chen Ziyi, Cao Siheng and Shen Zixuan. Every day after waking up, the first thing the brothers did was to go to Peng Zhe's place.
Because their uncle told them before they had their holiday that he would be in charge of the trip to Shenzhen, and he might even be able to take them to the port city by boat.
Because of his promise, several children have become long-term workers in his family these days. They help take care of their younger brother and rush to do the work every day. But a certain adult who is already an elder does not feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he wants to laugh when he sees the big and small boys working with a string of radish heads following behind them.
However, Peng Zhe also underestimated the minds of educated children and overestimated their sense of morality. He endured it for three days. Peng Zhe's good days ended with Chen Zixuan's complaint. Although he was about to go to junior high school and it was a bit unpleasant to complain at this age, the children felt that it was no big deal. Is it a big deal to complain once or twice?
Although separated by only a sea, there is still a world of difference between Hong Kong and Shenzhen. After all, under the management of the capitalist system, Hong Kong, as one of the Four Asian Tigers in later generations, has a development speed that is completely incomparable to the newly rising mainland. This is why mainlanders particularly like Hong Kong's movies and TV series and pursue Hong Kong's clothing style.
Grandpa Shen, Grandma Shen, Grandpa Cao and Grandma Cao went to Shenzhen with Peng Zhe and the children. Now that everyone in the family was out, Shen Anning was not used to being alone at home. She often went to bed late at night and got up early in the morning. Every day before going to bed and after waking up in the morning, she would sigh.
The noisy children are not at home, and she can't hear the sounds of playful children playing when she wakes up early in the morning. She really misses them. Every time she has this thought, she will shake her head vigorously the next second. She is not used to the life without noise. She is really not grateful for what she has!
It's another morning woken by the sun.
Shen Anning got up and tidied the room. She went to the kitchen to get a pot of hot milk and cooked porridge and eggs for herself. She was the only one at home during this period, so she gave her aunt and driver a day off. She ate lunch and dinner in the hospital cafeteria. If she didn't want to queue in the cafeteria for more than ten minutes every morning, she wouldn't even have to make breakfast at home.
While eating, I talked to the children on the phone. The twins on the other end of the phone chattered non-stop, talking about the interesting things they had when they went out to play yesterday.
Calling the man at night and calling the child in the morning is what Shen Anning must do every day during this period.
"Mom, mom, are you listening to me?" Shen An Ning, who was awakened by her youngest son's sudden increase in volume, reluctantly held the phone farther away.
"I heard you. Mom has been listening to you."
When Cao Simo heard his mother say this, he became happy. He took a sip of sugar water and a bite of chestnut cake and continued to share his food.
"Mom, we went to eat seafood yesterday. The crab was so big, bigger than my face, and the shrimp was longer than my hand. My uncle even took us to see some live ones."
"Mom, let me tell you, my uncle is so bad. He put my hand in the pond with the big crabs, and my hand was almost pinched off..."
For the twins, in addition to visiting the seaport in Tianjin, Shenzhen is the second coastal city they have visited. Moreover, the sea area in Shenzhen is vast. Just by listening to what her sons said on the phone every morning, Shen Anning knew that they must have had a lot of fun these days.
"Well, you can have fun over there, but remember to listen to the ladies. The ladies are older and can't outrun you. You have to be careful when you go out to play. You're all grown-up kids, you know that."
After chatting for a few meaningless words on the phone and listening to the children say "Mom, I miss you", Shen Anning hung up the phone.
The children were not at home. After breakfast, although it was not time to go to work yet, it was boring to stay at home, so I washed some fruits and drove directly to the hospital.
We arrived early and the regular doctors hadn't arrived yet. The only people busy in the office and the ward were interns and trainee doctors.
Seeing Shen Anning come in, several people who were sorting out the medical records were startled and subconsciously stood up and called out, "Teacher Shen."
"I have nothing to do at home today, so I came early. You came so early, have you had breakfast?"
"Xiao Lin went to buy it. We have been taking turns to buy food from the cafeteria during this period."
Ana Shen nodded and put the fruit in the bag on the table. "Thank you for your hard work. If you have any questions, you can come to my office. Here are the fruits I washed for you. Remember to share them."
For the newly graduated students, Shen Anning was both their teacher and their superior. This was completely different from the feeling of meeting them in school. It was not until the door was closed for a while that several people came out of their daze and gathered together to say a few words.
On the weekend, Shen Anning, several sisters-in-law, Geng Yue and a group of people made an appointment to go shopping. It is actually beneficial for men and children not to be at home at this time. They can do whatever they want, eat whatever they want, and see handsome men on the street.
In the largest private room of Kyoto Hotel, Shen Anning, her sister, sister-in-law and her friends, more than ten of them at once, were eating and watching TV.
It was already eleven o'clock and almost twelve o'clock, but there were still a lot of people on the streets and in the restaurants. The reason was that today was a very, very special day.
The most luxurious hotels all have color TVs in their private rooms. The return of Hong Kong is a major event celebrated by the whole country. Even now, the streets outside are filled with the sound of gongs and drums. On TV, several hosts from CCTV are reporting the real-time situation to the national audience.
At 00:00, the picture on the TV showed the five-star red flag rising over the port city. At this moment, everyone held their breath, and the people in the box stood up, staring at the national flag on the TV, silently singing the national anthem in their hearts.
At five minutes past midnight, Shen Anning's phone rang, and the voices of the twins were all over the phone.
"Mom, mom, my uncle brought us to this port by boat. The PLA soldiers in the port took off their old hats and brought ours. I think I saw Dad's comrades. Wow, wow, wow, I want to be a soldier too. I want to drive a boat, a plane, and a tank..."
Shen An Ning turned on the loud speaker, and everyone in the box heard Cao Simo's voice. As a mother, Shen An Ning was laughing and holding her forehead. It was okay to be a soldier, but it seemed that it was not possible to do the work of the three branches of the military at the same time.
After dinner, the group left the restaurant and walked home. The street lights were particularly bright, and some restaurants along the street even set up stalls outside to provide free food to those who were celebrating. Everyone had a smile of relief and anticipation on their faces.
Ninety-nine years later, at this moment, the territory belonging to the "Flower Country" was finally expanded.
