Hearing this, Lin Run’s two sons pushed the door open.

When they saw their father open his eyes, they were immediately overjoyed.

"Dad..." Shao Ming burst into tears and rushed to the bed.

"Mom, mom, my dad is awake!" Shaoyun screamed and rushed out the door, his voice echoing throughout the entire backyard of the hospital.

Even Li Shizhen was alarmed and hurried over with his apprentice Pang Xian.

~~

After a meal, Li Shizhen gave Lin Run an acupuncture injection, sighed lightly, and withdrew his hand.

Sun, whose eyes were red, asked anxiously, "Doctor Li, my master..."

"It's okay. He seemed to have been stimulated by something and was too emotional. I gave him an acupuncture to calm him down." Li Shizhen said, glancing at Zhao Hao. "How did you wake up Lin Zhongcheng, sir?"

"I told him a very scary ghost story..." Young Master Zhao said embarrassedly. Anyway, I don't admit what I said.

"Oh?" Li Shizhen almost pulled his beard off in shock. It was the first time he heard that a ghost story could wake up a catatonic person.

At the side, his disciple Pang Xian quickly took out a pencil and wrote it down on the medical record.

However, Sun could not care less. She brought her two sons and kowtowed to Zhao Hao in tears, saying, "My benefactor, please accept our greetings."

"No, no." Zhao Hao quickly helped her two sons up and asked the young county lady to help Sun up. "Lin Zhongcheng is my respected elder. It is the will of heaven that he woke up. Madam, please do not kill the younger generation."

"In short, the Lin family will never forget your kindness, young master." Sun looked at her two sons and said, "Do you remember it?"

"Yes, mother!" Shaoming and Shaoyun kowtowed to Zhao Hao again. Master Zhao accepted it helplessly, and only then did they get up.

"When will Zhongcheng wake up again?" After the mother and her two sons thanked Li Shizhen again, Zhao Hao asked the question that everyone was most concerned about.

"Two hours, but he is very weak now, both physically and mentally, and needs a lot of time to rest. Even if he wakes up, you can't talk to him." Li Shizhen instructed carefully:

"When Lin Zhongcheng was in a coma, he had been swallowing liquid food instinctively. His stomach is as weak as a baby's. Remember not to feed him carelessly. All food will be prepared by Head Nurse Wang."

The reason why Lin Run was able to survive for a long time after being in a coma was that he still retained his hiccuping, coughing, sucking and swallowing reflexes, and could make some spontaneous chewing movements, so he could receive nutrition through the oral route.

However, in order to prevent him from inhaling food into his trachea, Li Shizhen did not even allow him to be fed porridge. Instead, he asked a wet nurse from a wealthy family to squeeze out milk and feed it to him.

Why did they choose the rich family? Because they had good food and nutritious milk. This helped Lin Run to survive until the moment he woke up.

Of course, in order to avoid embarrassment to Lin Zhongcheng and his family, Li Shizhen always asked the head nurse to say that it was cow's or goat's milk. But Li Shizhen himself had no prejudice against this and solemnly wrote it into the Compendium of Materia Medica, calling it "immortal wine".

~~

Zhao Hao had originally planned to go back after delivering the New Year’s Eve dinner, but now he was no longer in a hurry.

Sun and her two sons gathered around his bed, hoping that he would wake up again soon.

Even if I can't speak or move, as long as I open my eyes and look at the three of them, this New Year's Eve will be infinitely beautiful.

Li Mingyue and Zhao Hao sat side by side on another bed, watching the family quietly.

At dusk, Lin Run finally opened his eyes again.

When he and his wife's eyes met, Sun finally couldn't help it and threw himself into his arms and burst into tears.

The two sons also knelt on both sides of the bed, each holding one of his hands, crying with joy.

Lin Run moved his eyes with great effort. Although his throat was trembling and he couldn't speak, there was a flash of water in the corners of his eyes.

The young county lady leaned her head on Zhao Hao's shoulder, tears welling up in her eyes.

Zhao Hao gently held her hand and comforted the girl who was moved by the scene.

Seeing Lin Zhongcheng wake up, Zhao Hao felt relieved.

He did not want to disturb the family's hard-earned moment, so he pulled Li Mingyue up and quietly left the ward.

~~

When the two of them returned to the county town in a white-sailed boat, it was already dark. Fortunately, the soldiers guarding the gate kept the gate open for him, as they were worried that Yanei had not returned yet. Otherwise, they would have to spend the New Year outside the city.

By the time the two men got off the Zhouxi Bridge Wharf, it was already completely dark. The sound of firecrackers in the county town was as blazing as a boiling pot. Over the residence of a wealthy family on the other side of the Banshan Bridge, brilliant fireworks were rising into the sky.

Coupled with the snowflakes floating in the sky and the girl in red in front of him, Zhao Hao suddenly felt that he had much more than he did last year.

He took off his gloves and stretched out his hand, gently brushing away the snowflakes on Mingyue's hair, then smiled happily and said, "Mingyue, Happy New Year."

"Brother, Happy New Year." Mingyue's beautiful big eyes seemed to be about to drip with tears. She held her pounding heart and mustered up her courage to say, "I hope I can celebrate the New Year with you every year in the future."

"Then it's a deal." Zhao Hao nodded without hesitation.

"Pin pinky promise?" The young county lady stretched out her slender white little finger.

"Pink pinky." Zhao Hao also stretched out his little finger and hooked it with hers.

"Stamp?" Li Mingyue gave another thumbs up.

"Stamp." The two people's thumbs were also printed together.

~~

Zhang Xiaojing, wearing a cloak and holding an umbrella, stopped in the distance with Ma Xianglan.

From their perspective, the two people looked like they were hugging each other.

Of course, the two of them did not come here to peek, but because they were about to have the New Year's Eve dinner, and they had not seen them come back yet, so they came to Zhouxi Bridge to wait.

Seeing this scene, the two girls knew what to do and didn't say anything, but chose to wait and see what happened.

By the time the two started walking towards the yamen gate, Xiao Zhuzi and Sister Ma had already walked out of the alley towards the back door.

Ma Xianglan lagged behind half a step and glanced at the expression on Zhang Xiaojing's face.

When she saw the joy and bitterness on Xiao Zhuzi's face and was about to dig deeper into her inner thoughts, she heard Zhang Xiaojing say calmly: "What do you want to know? Why don't you ask?"

Sister Ma's heart tightened. She didn't expect that she had already noticed her.

However, being able to remain calm in the face of adversity is a basic quality for a secretary. Secretary Ma sighed softly and said, "I don't know how to start."

"Are you trying to ask me what I really think?" Zhang Xiaojing said with a hint of emotion.

"Yeah." Sister Ma nodded.

"Then you have to tell me first what you really think." Xiao Zhuzi smiled faintly.

"What I think is not important at all." Sister Ma sighed again and said, "The green mountains cannot cover it, after all, it flows eastward."

"Haha, what I think is not important at all." Zhang Xiaojing strengthened her facial expression management, and no one could see a trace of thoughts on her face. "Walking in the pavilion, slow down a step, and stand on the swing shadow."

After the two girls finished speaking, they looked at each other and smiled sadly, and they both understood each other's thoughts.

"Sister, the flowers I draw are always less graceful. I'd like to ask for your guidance someday."

"It just so happens that I have some free time during the New Year holidays. Let's have a discussion tomorrow night."

"It's a deal."

"Let's make a hook, too."

After this, the two beauties seemed to have become much closer, and they disappeared into the Jiangnan alley with slightly damp stone slabs while chatting and laughing.
