Two generations of military wives compete for time

Chapter 189: Kowtow and New Year Greetings

"Stop talking. It's stressful. Get some rest and cooperate with the doctor. The doctor said it will take at least a month of treatment and rest to fully recover. Just take it easy.

Ming Zhigang and Qian Baogui will come to the hospital to accompany you in a while. I will go back to Chen's house to lead the young people and children to visit relatives and friends for the New Year. Compared with previous years, this year's New Year is a little unusual. First, my uncle fell and injured himself, and then you were sick and hospitalized. "Qian Yizhen said helplessly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ming Zhigang and Qian Baogui knocked on the door and came in: "Uncle, you woke up, you scared us."

"You two take good care of your uncle. I'm going back to the Chen residence first. Call me if you have anything." After Qian Yizheng said this, he hurriedly left the ward, left the hospital, and rushed to the Chen residence.

Qian Yizhen drove back to Chen's house, washed up quickly, put on her newly bought maroon woolen coat, and went to the restaurant. Seeing that all six children had put on new clothes and were sitting at the dining table eating dumplings, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mom, where is Dad? Why hasn't he come back yet?" asked the military pigeon.

"Dad, we're on a mission to fight the yeti. We'll go home after we defeat the yeti." Qian Yizhen quietly told Jun Ge.

"Uncle, cousin, aunt, Shiyan, the sound of firecrackers on New Year's Eve did not disturb your rest, right?" Qian Yizheng asked with concern.

"Cousin Yizhen, what do you think the ancients were thinking? I can't stand staying up all night. I went back to my room to sleep at ten o'clock. I think the custom of "staying up all night" is unscientific. Hehe." Han Shiyan said

Uncle Chen Haoyu said: "You young people and children sleep a lot, so sleep whenever you want. It's up to us old people who sleep less to stand guard and celebrate the New Year, hahahaha."

"Great uncle, I'm sorry. I fell asleep while watching TV last night. You drove away all those "evil plagues and ghosts". It's a pity that I missed the opportunity to join the battle." Qiangjun said with some regret

"Hahaha. You little brat, you're either argumentative or you want to know everything." Aunt Chen Mengwei said as she touched Qiangjun's head lovingly.

After breakfast, as per custom, my uncle Chen Haoyu, my grandfather Lu Kaipu, and my grandmother Chen Yalu sat on the sofa in the living room to accept New Year greetings from their younger generations.

The younger generations kowtowed in turn, smiling non-stop while holding the New Year red envelopes in their hands. The happiest ones were Junhua, Support the Army, Love the Army, Strengthen the Army, Junyan, Junge and Maomao. In this big family with four generations living together, they can receive New Year red envelopes from three levels of elders at the same time.

After completing the New Year greetings ceremony for his elders, Qian Yizheng called Qian Yiyun and the seven children, and went to pay New Year greetings to the Lu Mansion, Kuang Mansion, Yang Mansion, and Wang Mansion in the order of age of Grandma Lu, Grandpa Kuang, Grandpa Yang, and Grandma Jiang.

Qian Yizhen specifically instructed: "Shiyan, because you are pregnant, don't follow our group and go out to visit relatives and friends for the New Year. Li Baoguo should also not go, and stay at home to be Shiyan's bodyguard."

Han Shiyan said aggrievedly: "Why are there so many rules for the New Year?"

"Shiyan, you're not wrong to listen to Sister Yizhen." Li Baoguo consoled.

As soon as he finished speaking, Chairman Yang Zhongbang had already led Yang Ruolan, Feiyan, and Feixiang to pay New Year's greetings to the elders of the Chen Mansion. "Happy New Year, Mr. Chen. I wish you good health, longevity, and all the best. Happy New Year to you." Chairman Yang Zhongbang said as he made a gesture of kneeling down and kowtowing.

Grandpa Lu Kaipu hurried forward to support Chairman Yang Zhongbang and let him sit on the sofa. Yang Ruolan led Feiyan and Feixiang to kowtow and wish a happy new year to grandpa Chen Haoyu, grandpa Lu Kaipu, grandma Chen Yalu, cousin Chen Mengwei, and cousin Chen Jinting respectively.

Feiyan and Feixiang were jumping around happily holding the red envelopes they received as New Year gifts. Their grandmother, Chen Yalu, took some candies and peanuts and stuffed them into the small pockets of Feiyan and Feixiang's shirts.

Ding-ling-ling, Qian Yizhen's cell phone rang, and his secretary Zhang Chuanren called: "Mr. Qian, Happy New Year. I heard that the road from the provincial capital to Daoguan Village has been opened, and everything is normal in the company and the textile factory, so please rest assured."

"Happy New Year, Secretary Zhang. Thank you to all the employees who stayed at their posts during the Spring Festival." Qian Yizhen said.

Ding-ling-ling, Qian Yizheng's cell phone rang, and it was Zhang Zhixin, the textile factory's deputy administrative director, who called to wish him a happy new year.

Ding-ling-ling, Qian Yizheng's cell phone rang, and it was Zhang Jiyong, the deputy technical director of the textile factory, who called to wish him a happy new year.

Ding-ling-ling, Qian Yizhen's cell phone rang, and it was Yue Huijin, deputy production director of the textile factory, who called to wish him a happy new year.

......New Year greetings via mobile phone.

Qian Yizhen called the mobile phones of Pingzhou County Party Committee Secretary Zhao Yong, County Mayor Meng Xiangjie, Deputy County Mayor Cui Shengli, Daoguan Township Party Committee Secretary Zhao Lailong, and Daoguan Township Mayor Gao Wangcai, and completed the task of greeting the county and township government leaders.

Qian Yizhen exclaimed: "Mobile phones are really great things."

"Maomao, let's also use our cell phones to wish grandpa and grandma a happy new year." Qian Yiyun said as she called the ward of Pengfei's father at the Provincial Mental Rehabilitation Hospital: "Mom, this is Yiyun. My sister bought me a cell phone. Please remember my cell phone number. If you have any questions in the future, you can call this number and find me directly. Maomao, hurry up and say, Happy New Year to grandpa and grandma."

"Okay, okay, happy New Year to my eldest grandson Maomao. Yiyun, please say happy New Year to all the relatives in the Chen family for me." Pengfei's mother said excitedly.

The six cubs trotted all the way to the Lu residence, knelt down and kowtowed in front of Grandma Lu. Maomao also followed his brothers and sisters' example and kowtowned on the ground. Everyone laughed so hard that they fell over.

Grandma Lu and Grandpa Chen Zhuoran happily distributed red envelopes to the seven kids. Sister Hao Xia stuffed the pockets of the seven kids full of candies, melon seeds and peanuts.

After coming out of Lu's house, Qian Yizheng and his party came to Kuang's house. The six children ran to Grandpa Kuang and Grandma Huang, knelt down and kowtowed to wish them a happy new year without any explanation.

Grandpa Kuang's great-grandson Kuang Hengzhi and great-granddaughter Kuang Biyun were shocked by the sight of them kneeling and kowtowing in unison: "Does greeting the New Year mean kowtowing?"

Grandpa Kuang happily distributed red envelopes to the seven children, "It's New Year, it's New Year, my precious grandchildren are back." Grandma Huang also stood on tiptoe and danced like a child.

"Grandma Huang, please be careful. You look so happy." Qian Yizheng hurried forward to support Grandma Huang.

After leaving the Kuang Mansion, Qian Yizheng and his party came to the Yang Mansion. The six children were not very familiar with the new Grandpa Yang and Grandma Yang, so they came to Grandpa Yang and Grandma Yang timidly and said respectfully: "Grandma Yang, Grandpa Yang, Happy New Year. I wish you two good health and all the best." After that, they kowtowed in unison to wish them a long and happy new year.

Chairman Yang Zhongbang was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. While handing out red envelopes, he said, "Yizhen, President Qian, your children are all energetic, polite and sensible. There will be successors."

"Chairman Yang, you're too kind. I'm usually very naughty at home. Hahaha." Qian Yizheng said modestly.
