To others, he only said that Zhou An was taken away by Ye Zhiqiu for a few days, and he didn't dare to say that Ye Zhiqiu didn't want to return Zhou An.
After all, she is my biological sister, so there is nothing wrong with her doing so, so no trouble was caused.
Moreover, with one less person to feed at home, the burden on the family, which already had no food, was further reduced, which was what Zhou Shugen wanted very much.
Zhou An's arrival did not cause much disturbance in their lives, but brought some joy to the already lonely courtyard.
On New Year's Eve, there were bursts of firecrackers. The snow on the ground had been melting and freezing for several days, and today, the ground was finally somewhat dry.
We made dumplings for the New Year’s Eve dinner according to local customs. They were white and plump, and looked very appetizing.
Zhou An ate two large bowls of food. Ye Zhiqiu didn't dare to let him eat any more. Jiang Nian also ate a lot.
As soon as she opened the door in the morning, Ye Zhiqiu and Zhou An wished her a happy new year.
Jiang Nian was well prepared and gave everyone a big red envelope, which made Zhou An very happy.
They still had dumplings for breakfast. Ye Zhiqiu asked Zhou An to set off firecrackers and called Jiang Nian, "Master, you cook the dumplings today. I'll light the fire."
Jiang Nian raised his eyebrows, knowing that she wouldn't say that for no reason, and asked, "Any explanation?"
"Yes, it is said that the head of the family has to cook the dumplings for the New Year, but I don't know why." Usually men don't go into the kitchen, and only on this morning do they have to take charge of cooking.
There are no men here, and they don’t feel noble even if they have men. Moreover, in Ye Zhiqiu’s place, Jiang Nian is the head of the family.
After dinner, everyone was paying New Year's greetings and they had nowhere to go.
Logically speaking, he should go over to see a few elderly people he is familiar with. Even if he doesn't want to wish them a happy new year, he should at least say hello. However, as Yan Jin was the director of Yanjia Village Commune, it would be embarrassing to visit other families and miss his, so he simply didn't go at all to save trouble.
Zhou An quietly pulled Ye Zhiqiu aside and handed her the red envelope in his hand, "Sister, Doctor Jiang gave me a lot of money!"
There were so many that he felt uneasy as he held them together, because he had never seen so many since he was a child.
In fact, it’s only two dollars.
Ye Zhiqiu touched his head and said with relief: "Although the teacher is not much older than me, she taught me a lot and helped us a lot. She deserves to be our elder. The elders' gifts should not be refused. Just take it, but we must know how to be grateful, understand?"
"Yes, I know. Although Dr. Jiang looks very serious, I know she is a good person." Zhou An was in the period of losing teeth, and his smile was not very good-looking. He handed the money to Ye Zhiqiu again, "Sister, please keep it for me, otherwise I am afraid of holding so much money."
"Okay, then I'll keep it and use it to pay your tuition after the New Year."
Ye Zhiqiu's words made Zhou An happy and nervous, because he didn't know whether this would bring trouble to his sister.
Zhou An hasn't been back yet. There have been quite a few patients in the days after the New Year because they have to visit relatives and friends, and there was a rain on the night of the New Year, and the ground was frozen. Many people slipped and fell, and some caught colds.
Two more people were admitted to the ward in the backyard, but fortunately they didn't stay there for long and recovered in two or three days.
Moreover, people in the hospital need to be taken care of by others, and they are no longer responsible for their eating, drinking, defecating and urinating.
Li Qing originally wanted to come earlier to help, but Yan's mother refused to let him, saying that they had agreed to go to work on the sixth day of the New Year, and even a day earlier would not work.
Although Zhou An is young, he has helped a lot and is indeed very sensible and well-behaved. This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
