With red eyes, he smiled and responded: "Okay, okay, I'll try it, I'll try it..."

Jun Ning served him steamed humphead wrasse belly meat, which was the most tender and delicious.

Jun Zian eats very gracefully. He slowly puts the fish into his mouth and chews it gently. Instantly, he feels his mouth full of sweet taste. The fish is also very tender and smooth, and the taste is extremely good.

He immediately praised: "Delicious! Very delicious! Ningning, your cooking skills are really good, really great!"

Jun Ning picked up another piece of roasted meat with a golden and crispy skin and said to him, "Come on, try this roasted meat again and see if it tastes good."

Seeing that Jun Ning was only busy picking up food for him, Jun Zi'an quickly said to her, "Ning Ning, you eat too. You don't have to pick up food for me. I can do it myself."

Jun Ning put down his chopsticks with a smile and said naturally, "Then you can pick it up yourself. You're welcome."

Jun Ziru also said to him: "Zi'an, we are brothers, this is your home, eat whatever you want, don't be polite."

Jun Zi'an looked at him with gratitude and said, "Thank you, big brother and sister-in-law. Come, I'll toast you. Thank you for taking care of Ningning so wholeheartedly over the years. I'll drink this first as a token of my respect!"

"Dry!"

Jun Ziru and Jiang Xiuqing raised their glasses and clinked them with his, then smiled and drank them all in one gulp.

Jun Ning also greeted Zhao Zhiqiang, "Comrade Zhao, you should eat more food too, don't be polite."

Zhao Zhiqiang smiled innocently and nodded, "Yes, you're welcome. This dish is so delicious. Look, I can't stop eating it."

"That's good. If it tastes good, eat more."

Jun Ning naturally knew that the food in her family was the most delicious and her cooking skills were pretty good. After more than two years of study, her second brother's cooking skills were even better, comparable to the royal chefs in ancient times.

The New Year's Eve dinner prepared by the brother and sister was indeed delicious.

After everyone finished the New Year’s Eve dinner, Zhao Zhiqiang got up and said goodbye, preparing to go back to the guesthouse to rest.

Jun Ning also brought him a large bag of various fruits, as well as snacks such as fried dough sticks, fried dumplings, sweet cakes, etc. for Chinese New Year.

When Zhao Zhiqiang saw that Jun Ning brought so many things for him, he was deeply moved and thought that Jun Ning's daughter was a really nice person.

But with so many things, he felt a little embarrassed to accept them, "Comrade Xiaojun, these are too many things, I can't accept them."

Jun Ning forced it into his hand and said, "Take it. Consider it my gift to thank you for taking care of my father!"

Jun Zi'an also said, "Xiao Zhao, just accept it. Go back and have a good rest. I'll give you a few days off. If you want to go home, go back. Come back on the sixth day of the New Year and I'll find you again."

Zhao Zhiqiang nodded respectfully and said, "Okay, thank you, Mr. Jun. I'll leave first. Please call me if you have anything."

Jun Zi'an waved at him, "Okay, be careful on the road."

"knew."

Zhao Zhiqiang waved to everyone again, "Goodbye everyone! I also wish you all a happy new year, good health, and all the best."

Everyone smiled and replied to him, "You too, Happy New Year! Good health! All the best!"

After seeing Zhao Zhiqiang off, they returned to the hall and sat down.

Jun Zi'an sighed softly, "It was hard at first, but later, the country needed me and transferred me to the base. Things started to get better, and it's been even better in the past two years."

Jun Ziru nodded and said to him in a deep voice: "That's good. Don't think about the past. We should all look forward. As long as people are safe and healthy, they are happy!"

After Jun Ziru finished speaking, he asked him again, "How long can you take off this time?"

Jun Zi'an replied: "It will be on the seventh day. I have to report to work on the eighth day."

Jun Ziru: "Which unit? Can you tell me?"

Jun Zian: "Yangcheng Academy of Sciences."

Jun Ziru laughed and said, "That's great. You can stay in Yangcheng from now on. You don't have to leave anymore, right?"

Jun Zi'an smiled slightly, "Just follow the country's arrangements. I shouldn't leave for the time being. Brother, can I talk to you alone?"

Jun Ziru knew that he must want to know more about Jun Ning's life over the years, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let's go inside and talk."

Jiang Xiuqing, the three brothers of the Jun family, and Jun Ning all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Jun Zi'an follow Jun Ziru into the room.

The third brother, Jun Chengye, was a little unhappy and asked Jiang Xiuqing quietly, "Mom, is Uncle An going to take Aning back to his home when he comes back?"

Jun Ning said quickly, "Third brother, no matter what time, you are my parents and my brothers. I am also very happy that my father is back. It is also good to have another father who loves me, but it will not affect your love for me, right?"

The three brothers of the Jun family nodded immediately, "Of course, you will always be our sister."

In the room, Jun Ziru also objectively told Jun Zi'an about Jun Ning's experiences over the years, including how difficult it was for Jun Ning to adapt when he first came to his home, and how he took the initiative to go to the countryside, etc. He did not hide anything from Jun Zi'an.

Jun Zi'an cried several times after hearing this. "I am so sorry to Ningning! It is because I did not fulfill my responsibilities as a father that she suffered so much. I am sorry! I am sorry!"

Jun Ziru looked at him who was crying with his hands covering his face, and sighed softly, "Zi'an, you don't want this to happen either. It's all over. Aning is very good now. Let's not think about the past anymore. Just make it up to her in the future, isn't that enough?"

Jun Zi'an nodded repeatedly, "I will, I will make it up to Ningning. I have nothing now, only Ningning. Everything I have belongs to Ningning."

When he was imprisoned, every day and every night when he had free time working at the base, he could not help but miss his wife who died tragically and his precious daughter who was raised in his eldest brother's home.

During those difficult days, if he hadn't thought that Ningning was still alive, he would have probably died.

Fortunately, everything is over now.

His baby daughter has grown up and is so beautiful, elegant and outstanding, which makes him, as a father, feel deeply proud.

It’s a pity that the child’s mother will never see her again.

If she had been able to hold on back then, their family would be reunited now and live happily together. How wonderful it would be!

When Jun Zi'an and Jun Ziru came out of the room, Jun Ning could see that Jun Zi'an had been crying.

The fate of their family is so tragic!

She couldn't even imagine, if Jun Zi'an knew that her precious daughter's heart had already been changed, would he be able to bear it? Fortunately, they had been separated for many years, so he shouldn't be able to notice her abnormality, right? (End of this chapter)
