The doctor didn't prescribe any medicine in the end, but just said calmly: "Don't get angry as much as possible. Anger is harmful to your health."
After hearing what the doctor said, Luo Haotian snorted coldly and stood up to leave the hospital. It was three stops away from home, and there was no delay at the hospital, so the round trip took only about 40 minutes.
Everyone thought Ning Xueling went to the public toilet outside and no one asked about it.
Luo Siyuan came over and saw his sister busying herself on the stove. He said with a smile, "Everyone is in for a treat tonight."
Zhou Guifang teased him deliberately, "Why, the food grandma cooked before wasn't tasty."
Luo Siyuan put his hands on his grandmother's shoulders and quickly said, "How could that be? I meant that Qiaoqiao's dishes are as delicious as those made by good grandmothers, so everyone will have a treat tonight."
Zhou Guifang smiled and said, "You're smart. Go ask your father to set the table. The food will be ready soon."
Luo Siyuan said playfully, "Yes, sir. I'll do it right away."
The New Year’s Eve dinner was very sumptuous. Luo Qiao was the chef and prepared three main dishes: braised pork, garlic spare ribs, and squirrel fish.
Luo Jiayue said: "This is the first time I've seen fish cooked this way. I'm going to have to taste it later."
Luo Qiao smiled and said, "This is a Su cuisine, we northerners rarely cook it."
Gu Hongjuan smiled and said, "You watched the whole process, did you learn it?"
Luo Jiayue laughed: "Mom, forget it. If I could learn it just by watching, I wouldn't be a genius. I, your daughter, don't have that ability."
Everyone in the kitchen burst into laughter!
Ning Xueling was no longer afraid after she came back from the hospital and knew she was fine, but the way she looked at Luo Qiao became colder than before.
Luo Qiao watched her every move, but he didn't bother with her as long as she didn't cause trouble.
There were two tables in the evening, with men and women sitting separately. It was impossible not to let Ning Xueling into the house at this time, but Luo Haotian was relieved now because Ning Xueling's throat could not make any sound.
When they came, the first and third wives also knew that they had brought their two nephews back to celebrate the New Year, so they repeatedly reminded them that no one was allowed to talk about the past, and no one was allowed to mention Ning Xueling in front of Xu Yuan.
Without Ning Xueling's trouble-making, dinner was very harmonious. Luo Xuyan originally wanted to sit next to his sister, but Luo Xuyuan wouldn't let him, so he had no choice but to sit in his seat obediently.
After a lively New Year's Eve dinner, they chatted and played cards until midnight. Luo Siyuan, Luo Xudong and Luo Xunan from the first wife, and Luo Xufei from the third wife set off firecrackers at the gate together.
Several little grandchildren in the big room were already sleepy, so they were carried back to their grandmother's room to sleep. The kang could not accommodate so many people, so they set up a few simple beds in the room soon.
Watching them do this with ease, I realized that this is the way it is every year. The fire in the kitchen stove stays on all night, so it doesn't matter if the quilts in the three rooms are thin, and everyone sleeps in their clothes.
Wooden beds were also set up in the living room and another room, and two people squeezed into one bed and slept together.
The next morning, before dawn, there were sounds of firecrackers outside, followed by noises from other places. The people in the house got up, removed the wooden boards, and restored the house to its original tidy state.
Ning Xueling got up and tried but still couldn't make any sound. Although the doctor said it was okay, she was still very anxious and scared. She thought that they could leave as soon as the afternoon came.
Every year, everyone would go home after lunch on the first day of the new year. Song Shiya glanced at her second brother's wife standing on the ground. She hadn't said a word since she went out yesterday.
Did her brother-in-law say something to her? Or did she reflect on herself and think that she was indeed an unqualified mother, so she didn't say a word. But she still felt something was strange. This was not the style of her second brother-in-law.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Gu Hongjuan saw the eldest sister-in-law staring at the second sister-in-law in a daze, and whispered: "Sister-in-law, do you also think that the second sister-in-law is weird? I talked to her several times yesterday, and she either smiled or didn't reply. Has the second sister-in-law changed her personality?"
Zhou Guifang walked in at this time: "You guys should clean up quickly, I'm afraid we didn't make enough dumplings yesterday, but we still have stuffing, so we can knead the dough and make some more later."
After saying that, he glanced at his second daughter-in-law. She hasn't said a word since she was scolded yesterday. What's the matter? Is she still holding a grudge? Humph, whatever she wants.
Ning Xueling noticed the way her mother-in-law and sisters-in-law looked at her, but she couldn't let them know that there was something wrong with her throat, and that it was caused by anger.
