"Coming." Song Jinxiu answered as she walked.
"Brother, why are you here?" Song Jinxiu opened the door and let Xia Xingchen in.
"My parents were worried that it would be too cold if no one lived here for too long, so they asked me to come and pick you two up to live with us back home," Xia Xingchen said.
"It's okay, I've already lit the stove. An An can just come over to my house for dinner tomorrow." Song Jinxiu said.
"Why are your eyes red?" Xia Xingchen saw Song Jinxiu's slightly red eyes when she walked into the room. "What's wrong? Who bullied you?"
He looked at Liu Ankang with sharp eyes.
"Why are you looking at me? When have you ever seen me bully her?" Liu Ankang paused before continuing. "But this time, it was me who made her cry."
Xia Xingchen was not an impulsive person. He was aware of their relationship, so he asked, "What's going on?"
"It's okay, I just got a minor injury and she accidentally found it." Liu Ankang said indifferently.
"It's still a minor injury, it's wrapped in thick gauze, and An An said it's recovering.
Brother, you said that he is in this condition after recovering, so how serious must his condition have been when he was first injured?
Those who know you would say you are a doctor, while those who don’t would think you went to war.
I only know doctors who treat illnesses and save lives, but I've never seen anyone make themselves sick." Song Jinxiu couldn't help but complain to Xia Xingchen.
Xia Xingchen was a staff member and had heard some rumors, but it was not easy for him to tell his sister directly.
"Hey, it's normal for a man to get injured. Why don't you seem to care about your brother? I have a lot of scars of all sizes on my body." Xia Xingchen said.
"You have your sister-in-law to care for you, it's not my turn. Go, go, go back quickly, don't make trouble here.
I won't go back tonight. If An An has any problems, I can help her." Song Jinxiu said as she pushed people out.
Xia Xingchen swallowed back the words "What could have happened?"
Forget it, it doesn’t matter where we sleep. I just came here to confirm if they are both there.
The next day, Song Jinxiu followed Xia's mother at home to prepare various foods, planning to keep everyone in the family fat and plump.
Two or three different dishes a day. I don’t know where Song Jinxiu found such a complete range of ingredients.
Mother Xia didn't really like drinking these soups, but she was still given a small bowl at every meal.
Xia En had a big bowl, and Liu Ankang had an extra-large bowl.
If there is anything left, Song Jinxiu and the other two will share it equally.
Every day there are all kinds of soups and drinks that nourish qi and replenish blood. Except for Xia En who is embarrassed to refuse and Liu Ankang who can't refuse, everyone else is afraid of drinking them.
It’s not that it doesn’t taste good, it’s mainly because it’s too nutritious.
Moreover, the two grown men felt that they were not injured and there was no need to replenish their bodies.
In just one week, Liu Ankang didn't gain weight, but Xia En felt he had gained weight.
But she was too thin before, so even if she gained a little weight now, it wouldn't be noticeable.
Because Liu Ankang was injured, he didn't need to go to either hospital. He could just report after he recovered.
"Uncle Xia, Aunt Xia, I have something to tell you." Taking advantage of the New Year's Day when everyone is in a good mood and everyone is present, Liu Ankang is ready to make the matter between the two of them public.
And he couldn't wait to marry her home.
Seeing Liu Ankang's serious face, Xia's father and mother looked at each other and then looked at Liu Ankang seriously.
"Uncle and aunt, I am now a doctor in the Department of Neurology at Harmony Hospital, and I also took up a position in the Department of Surgery at the Military Region General Hospital following Mr. Liu.
I submitted several papers to the Institute of Pharmacology and was given a sinecure thanks to Mr. Zeng's kindness.
Although the income is not enough to make you rich, it can ensure that you have enough food and clothing.
To be frank, I am still young and will definitely achieve greater success in the future, so my future life is secure.
Moreover, Xiu Xiu and I grew up together and we understand each other. After so many years of getting along, I believe that my character is also worthy of your consideration.
The most important thing is, if Xiuxiu marries me, our home will be wherever she is.
I like her and want to start a family with her. I hope my uncle and aunt can help me."
Liu Ankang looked at Xia's parents and said seriously.
Xia's parents were a little surprised, but not much. After all, the two people's recent behavior was quite obvious.
In the past, it could be said that the siblings grew up together and had a good relationship, but now there is a newlywed couple in the family for comparison.
After comparison, I found that they don’t look like brother and sister, but a real couple.
As for Song Jinxiu, she felt a little embarrassed standing aside.
The younger brother whom I have raised for so many years suddenly becomes my childhood sweetheart, and I feel like an old man is taking advantage of a young girl.
"Have you made up your mind?" Father Xia asked. "You said it yourself, you have a promising future.
But for Xiu Xiu, I don’t expect her to achieve anything great in the future. I just want her to live a simple and happy life.
The gap between you will become bigger and bigger in the future, and so will your ages.
She's so much older than you, do you know what that means?"
"None of this is a problem for me, your thoughts happen to be my thoughts as well.
I work so hard to improve myself just to give her a better life.
Let her live according to her own wishes, go to work when she wants to, and stay at home when she wants to.
Also, after my last study trip with Professor Liu, my focus in the next few years will be on the research institute.
If you want to apply for a scientific research project in a research institute, once the project is approved, it may be a closed research.
I also hope to complete my wedding with Xiu Xiu before entering research.
I can arrange for Xiuxiu to be my assistant and go to the institute with me, so that we don’t need to be separated.”
Liu Ankang seriously explained his next plans to everyone in the Xia family.
"Are you in such a hurry? Do you know all these things?" Father Xia asked Song Jinxiu.
Song Jinxiu nodded a little awkwardly. An An had told her that it didn't matter where she worked, and it would be nice for the two of them to be together.
"You know, Xiuxiu has only returned to us in the past few years. Her marriage is a big deal, and we don't plan to be so careless.
"Your research is about to begin, so you might not be able to have your wedding with Xiuxiu anytime soon. It's better to wait until your research is finished," said Father Xia.
"Uncle, you may have misunderstood me. I said that all my efforts are for embroidery.
If I left her to do research, wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse?
I have always adhered to the idea of getting married before starting a career. My success at this stage is only to create better living conditions for Xiuxiu.
"What kind of wedding do you think is worthy of Xiu Xiu? We can discuss it slowly, and I will do my best to make it happen." Liu Ankang said.
"Nonsense! The success of a research project benefits the country and the people and brings benefits to millions of people. How can you treat it like a joke?" Father Xia slammed the table angrily.
