Second update
At the end of the year, Qin Yao went to the hospital to complete the leave procedures. During the year-end period, there were many people who asked for leave like her, but the number of places was limited, and the head nurse was so worried that her hair turned gray.
"I haven't been back home for a few years. This year I should go home and celebrate the New Year."
"Something happened at Xiao Zhang's home, so he has to go back..."
…
Qin Yao's leave was approved without any major problems. She didn't hold an important position in the hospital and her job was just a "temporary job", so she wasn't required to be on duty. Many of the new nurses in their group were willing to stay in the hospital for the New Year, like Tian Shuyun.
Tian Shuyun is not married yet and has a boyfriend. She doesn't want to go home, of course, not because of the boyfriend, but because she is afraid of the cold and likes the winter weather here.
In the past, she would get frostbite every winter. Her hands and ears were all covered with frostbite. It was itchy and painful, and her hands were cracked. Even so, she still had to work in the cold wind.
At least here you won’t get frostbite and you can bask in the sun during the day. There’s no biting cold wind, the sun is bright and the flowers on the roadside are beautiful and fresh.
At this time, the sugarcane on the island had matured in batches. If you went to a nearby farm to help cut sugarcane, you could get some farm subsidies. The most attractive ones were sugar coupons and industrial coupons. So Zhang Yufei went to the farm to help cut sugarcane.
She gave Qin Yao several pieces of sugarcane and a bag of brown sugar made using traditional methods.
Qin Yao invited her to dinner and called Chen Baozhen over. The men were not at home, so the three of them grilled fish and cooked rice wine in the yard. They exchanged rice wine with an aunt in the village, added water, ginger and brown sugar, and cooked it until it was bubbling. They could just drink it directly. It was sweet, with a slightly pungent taste of alcohol, and it was extremely delicious.
Qin Yao can finish three bowls in one breath.
Qin Yao had eaten fermented glutinous rice balls and fermented glutinous rice eggs in stores before, but the fermented glutinous rice in most stores was a little bland and did not have a strong wine flavor. When she cooked it herself, the wine flavor was stronger.
The rice wine made by the village lady is super delicious.
Chen Baozhen drank happily: "Yaoyao, this is really delicious. It tastes good even without sugar. It's a little stronger."
"Cook some more."
The three of them were barbecuing in the yard, singing happily together, and drinking rice wine. Even though the rice wine was weak in alcohol, they all got drunk.
The next day, after finishing everything, Gu Cheng, who was officially on vacation, returned home in high spirits. When he opened the door to see his wife, he found that not only was the yard in a mess, there was no one on the first floor, no one in the master bedroom on the second floor, and there were three women lying on the bed and on the floor in the second bedroom.
Zhang Yufei slept on the bed, Qin Yao and Chen Baozhen slept on the floor.
Gu Cheng stood at the door with his arms crossed and an expressionless face. The beloved woman in front of him was sleeping on her back, soundly sleeping, but she was sleeping on another woman.
Chen Baozhen was pressed underneath, but she woke up first.
"Yaoyao! Yaoyao!" Chen Baozhen pushed the person on her body. No wonder she felt her chest was stuffy when she slept last night, as if she was being pressed by a mountain. It turned out that Qin Yao was sleeping on top of her.
Qin Yao hummed but didn't wake up.
Gu Cheng ran to his wife and squatted down, patting her face. Qin Yao opened her eyes dazedly, recognized Gu Cheng's face, smiled contentedly, and said perfunctorily, "Hubby, I still want to sleep."
At this moment, her hair was disheveled, covering her small oval face. When she smiled foolishly, there was a natural innocence in her and her tone was coquettish, which could melt people's hearts.
Gu Cheng couldn't help but smiled brightly.
Zhang Yufei and Chen Baozhen caught a glimpse of the smile on Gu Cheng's face. One of them fell off the bed, and the other hit his chin, and they screamed "Ah" one after another.
Qin Yao woke up at this time.
Got caught drunk.
Zhang Yufei didn't even eat, she just picked up her coat and left. Chen Baozhen didn't feel comfortable staying at her house, so she followed her and left the Gu family as if she was escaping.
Gu Cheng said coldly: "The male owner is not here, you women are holding a meeting."
My wife has slept with someone else.
"Instructor Gu, this won't happen again." Qin Yao yawned and didn't argue with him.
Gu Cheng shook his head and pointed at his face. Qin Yao came forward and kissed him. Since they had experienced the most intimate physical act, kissing became as natural as drinking water.
The two packed up their things and planned to take a boat from the island back to the capital tomorrow.
The last time she came to the island, Qin Yao brought a lot of bags, all filled with snacks. This time when she left the island, she also brought a lot of bags, filled with a lot of seafood and dried fruits, as well as winter clothes.
Qin Yao did not buy winter clothes for herself. Instead, she took two of Gu Cheng's military coats. One of them was said to be from ten years ago. It was the coat he wore when he was a student in a military academy. It fit her perfectly and wrapped her tightly.
Gu Cheng brought a few more winter clothes, "Your mother wants to see a son-in-law who weighs 200 kilograms, so I can just dress like I weigh 200 kilograms."
"And tie a weighted sandbag on it. Not to mention 200 kilograms, 300 kilograms will do."
Qin Yao drank the hot water and said with a smile, "Don't be so hypocritical."
"Captain Gu." Qin Yao pulled his sleeve, "Can I see the photos of your students?"
Gu Cheng found some old photos from his time in military school and showed them to her. Qin Yao recognized him in the black and white photos at a glance. When he was young, Gu Cheng was handsome and more delicate and youthful than he is now.
He was the youngest among this group of students, but he stood in the last row, tall and thin, like a green bamboo pole.
Qin Yao said: "You were so thin before!"
"I'm just tall." Gu Cheng was helpless. In fact, he had always been heavy since he was a child, but because of his long arms and legs and well-proportioned figure, outsiders always thought he was thin.
Qin Yao knew that it was because of his good head-to-body ratio. Although people at that time were thin, they had many big-headed dolls and wore loose clothes. They did not look tall and slender, but rather had a "swollen face" and "top-heavy" feeling. When they took off their clothes, they were just skin and bones.
"Like a younger brother." Qin Yao commented.
Gu Cheng: “Nonsense.”
Winter is not the rainy season on the island, but the dry season. There are no typhoons and the sea is calm. The ship the two were on set sail at the normal time and arrived in Guangzhou at eight o'clock in the evening.
There was a small episode on the way. When they reached the Qiongzhou Strait, they encountered a cruising ship. There were dozens or even hundreds of dolphins accompanying the ship. Qin Yao held a telescope and watched them reluctantly. She counted more than sixty dolphins, and Gu Cheng said there were eighty.
Very cute escort fleet.
Qin Yao was extremely surprised, but Gu Cheng was calm.
Qin Yao teased him: "Captain Gu, are you unlucky? Last time I sailed on the sea with you for so long, but I didn't encounter any dolphins to hitchhike with me."
I have encountered seabirds pooping many times.
Gu Cheng put his right hand on his sleeve and couldn't help laughing: "Even if there was, you didn't see it. I saw it."
"Don't say such irritating things."
Gu Cheng: "I'll take you to see it when I have the chance."
Qin Yao held back and said nothing. It was really hard to drift on the sea. She felt sorry for the man in front of her, but no matter how much she felt sorry for him, she had made an agreement with Chen Baozhen that they would sleep in bed together while they drifted on the sea.
After resting for a night in the Yangcheng Guesthouse, they took a train north. Unfortunately, the weather changed that night. Qin Yao boarded the train wrapped in a military coat. The two bought sleeper tickets, with Qin Yao sleeping on the upper berth and Gu Cheng on the lower berth.
The further north the train went, the colder it became. People were getting on and off the train, snowflakes were floating outside the window, and Qin Yao was shivering with cold and wanted to sleep on the warm kang.
She got down from the upper bunk and touched Gu Cheng's hand. Gu Cheng was wearing less than her, but his body temperature was very good and his palms were warm.
Gu Cheng wrapped her in his coat, and they slept together on the lower bunk at night.
Gu Cheng did not notify his family to pick him up, but said that he would accompany Qin Yao home first and then bring his wife home. Qin Yao called home and her mother Chen Guixiang said she would come to the station to pick her up.
We arrived at the station at ten in the morning, and there was fine snow falling outside the station.
Gu Cheng and Qin Yao got off the train. Qin Yao jumped a few times on the platform and said, "Let me take some of the luggage. I have to move. It's so cold."
In just a few days, we went from the midsummer island to the cold winter.
However, when I came here, I finally felt the atmosphere of the New Year. Travelers were rushing back and forth, and the floating snowflakes were like white rice grains scattered in the air.
Gu Cheng bought her two hot buns and asked her to hold them in her hands to keep them warm. Qin Yao ate half of them herself and fed him the other half.
After leaving the station, I met Qin Yao's mother Chen Guixiang and Qin Yao's fourth brother Qin Xueguan. Qin Yao is the youngest sister in the family. She has four older brothers and she is the fifth. Her fourth brother and she are twins, and the two have been very different since childhood.
Fourth brother Qin was tall and thin, and he had never been able to gain weight since he was a child. Chen Guixiang felt particularly unfulfilled in raising him. But the youngest daughter Yaoyao was different. She ate everything she wanted, was plump and fair, and was adorable. Chen Guixiang loved to take her daughter with her when she went out.
"Mom, Fourth Brother!" Qin Yao felt a little embarrassed when she first called out, but after she finished calling out, her heart started beating fast.
When Chen Guixiang saw her daughter in front of her, she was stunned. The fairy-like girl in front of her turned out to be her daughter.
Looking at Gu Cheng beside her, he was standing there in a daze, not coming back to his senses for a long time.
These two people are too thin! Chen Guixiang's eyes were filled with tears. Was it because the conditions on the island were too harsh?
"Mom, I'm Gu Cheng." Gu Cheng's palms were hot. He had deliberately put on two more sweaters when getting off the train, and now his palms were sweating.
Hearing the word "Mom", Chen Guixiang smiled so hard that her eyes were wide open. Oh, although this son-in-law is a little thin and has a small face, he is so handsome. He is so handsome and he and their Yaoyao are simply a perfect match made in heaven.
Chen Guixiang took Gu Cheng aside and asked him about his well-being.
But Fourth Brother Qin said to Qin Yao: "Sister, you have to save me."
Qin Yao asked, "What's wrong?"
"Dad wants to beat me to death."
Qin Yao: “?”
Chen Guixiang sighed, "As for your brother's job, your father used all his connections and begged everyone to get him a job in the street office. He was hoping that your brother would become the director of the street office in the future."
The fourth brother Qin curled his lips and said, "He's just a street sweeper."
Director, that’s bullshit.
Qin Yao was puzzled: "Then what?"
Chen Guixiang curled her lips: "Your brother secretly changed jobs with someone else."
"What job?"
Chen Guixiang said unhappily, “Let your brother tell you.”
Qin Sige replied: "The zoo."
Qin Yao was confused at first. From the street office to the zoo, could they exchange jobs? This is a bit too much, but the zoo is indeed a public institution.
Chen Guixiang: "Now you are not sweeping the streets anymore, but sweeping up the poop for animals. Your father can't understand it."
Qin Yao: “…”
"I'm an animal keeper. I raise pandas!"
Qin Yao was shocked: "!"
Oh my god! panda! The Third Prince of Xizhimen!
Chen Guixiang: "Red panda."
Qin Yao: “…”
