Chapter 264: New Life
"Erni is also very wonderful." An Yinan did not favor one over the other and also praised Erni.
The little girl was praised and actually felt a bit shy; her whole little face was bright red, like a round little apple.
Erni had always grown up by her grandmother's side and, on the contrary, had not suffered much; her grandmother did not have the idea of favoring boys over girls and was much better to Dani and Erni than their own mother.
Although the children's clothes had patches, they were always very clean, no longer sloppy like before.
"Auntie is going to host a meal tomorrow. You two come early to help Auntie with the work, okay?" An Yinan asked.
She did not know many people in the Northeast Military Region, and she planned to invite everyone she knew tomorrow so that everyone could gather once; she didn't know when they would see each other again next time.
"Okay, Auntie, I will come early to help," Dani said.
She would never forget this Xiao Yuan; she changed in this Xiao Yuan, grew up in this Xiao Yuan, and it was in this Xiao Yuan that she learned that girls are not "money-losing goods" and that girls must be self-reliant.
This Xiao Yuan had great significance to Dani.
Or rather, the auntie before her had extraordinary significance to her.
An Yinan brought a paper bag of sugar-roasted chestnuts for the two children and then let the two take them back to eat.
"Tell your grandmother when you get home that I won't go over to invite you tomorrow, okay?" An Yinan asked.
Dani nodded firmly, "Okay."
The sisters came happily and left happily as well.
There had been many people coming to inquire these past few days; most were truly concerned, and although there were a few with cold words, An Yinan did not take them to heart.
She was not the Renminbi, so she couldn't make everyone like her.
After the two little girls left, Chen Xun was just about to hug his wife when the sound of knocking on the door rang out again!
Chen Xun's face could no longer be described as dark.
He just wanted to be intimate with his wife, and his wife was going to Beijing soon; why were these people so oblivious???
"What are you here for?" Chen Xun pulled the door open and looked at Zhang Qian outside with a bad expression.
Just at this moment, a burst of bicycle bell sounds rang out; there was no need to ask, there was only one lunatic in this Northeast Camp who rode a bicycle!
"Hey, hey, hey, we are here to congratulate Sister-in-law; look at that expression on your face?" Qin Hao said with disdain.
Zhang Qian laughed loudly, "Need you ask? It must be sexual frustration."
Qin Hao looked carefully and nodded in agreement.
Chen Xun truly regretted opening the door; these two little brats.
"Alright, we'll leave the things and go." Zhang Qian pushed aside the person blocking the door, then carried the things and walked straight into the courtyard.
Qin Hao followed from behind, carrying two large bags from the back seat of his bicycle into the courtyard.
"You're here? Come inside." An Yinan walked out of the room and saw the two of them with bags big and small.
Zhang Qian waved his hand, "I won't go in; here is a deer and a sheep; I went hunting yesterday while off duty."
"Oh right, there are also a few rabbits."
"They would be wasted in my hands; I heard you are hosting a meal tomorrow, so you stew them tomorrow."
Zhang Qian poked the things right against the wall; they were frozen into ice blocks, and in the Northeast Camp, things never went bad.
"Right, this is the key to my courtyard; if you need to use the pot, just go over yourself." Zhang Qian handed the key to his courtyard to An Yinan; there was no need for polite words between them.
"Sister-in-law, these are dried vegetables and such that many patients gave me; I don't know how to cook, so I brought them all to you." Qin Hao put the bags of things on the living room floor.
"This is liquor; we aren't allowed to drink there either, and everyone is resting tomorrow. Right, do you still have that fruit wine from last time, Sister-in-law?"
Qin Hao was very greedy for An Yinan's grape wine, as well as plum wine and such; the taste was a bit sweet, and the alcohol content wasn't high.
"Yes, yes, yes, there will be plenty tomorrow," An Yinan smiled.
"Right, bring Wang Ping over tomorrow too; I won't make a special trip to the Military District Hospital. The task is handed to you; you must bring her to me," An Yinan remembered that cute little nurse and gave Qin Hao this instruction.
Qin Hao's face turned pale when he heard this name, "Call her too?"
Wang Ping used to see him and her little face would turn bright red, not daring to say much; how cute she was back then?
Now, the moment she sees him, she is all sour and sharp; that little mouth is like a machine gun, rattling away!
To tell the truth, he was a bit intimidated!
"What's wrong? Can't call her? Then I'll go call her tomorrow!" An Yinan's suspicious gaze deeply stung Qin Hao.
Qin Hao patted his chest, "I'll call her, just watch me; I'll carry her here if I have to."
Zhang Qian couldn't hold it in anymore, "Pfft," and burst into loud laughter.
He didn't expect it, he really didn't expect it; the three brothers had agreed to walk through life together, so why was he the only single dog left now?
But Qin Hao was a bit miserable!
"Laugh, what are you laughing at." Qin Hao said with a red face, pulling Zhang Qian, and the two of them left noisily.
An Yinan laughed until she clutched her stomach; she had a cramp!
Chen Xun helplessly rubbed her stomach, "Laugh slowly."
An Yinan waved her hand, "Did you see? Qin Hao's scared look! He's really going to be eaten alive in the future."
Chen Xun pulled An Yinan onto a stool, "I'm also being eaten alive."
An Yinan looked at his innocent face, then pulled him over and kissed the corner of his lips, "Is that so? Battalion Commander Chen is going to be eaten alive?"
Chen Xun looked at the mischievous little girl and smiled helplessly, "You!"
An Yinan smiled secretly like a little mouse that had stolen cream.
"Who else are you inviting tomorrow? Do you need me to notify them?" Chen Xun asked.
He understood his wife's meaning; everyone should take advantage of tomorrow to gather, and he didn't know when they would be together again next time.
"Mo Shu, the Secretary, and Deputy Brigade Commander Zhang; these three must be invited."
"I won't invite the people from the dormitory; I'll make the food in advance, and you can send it over then, so the new recruits don't have to worry about eating poorly when they run into the superiors."
"And Xiuzhen Jie, let her bring the newborn over to sit for a while."
"If it's easy to notify Nike Dashu, tell him to come over too; these past few years, running back and forth, I've really relied on Nike Dashu for rides."
An Yinan counted on her fingers one by one, finalizing the list of people to invite.
Sun Xiuzhen is the wife of Deputy Company Commander Zhang, and from the very beginning, she was someone who couldn't stand the gossiping of Wang Erhua and the others.
Later, she had some contact with An Yinan, but their relationship was not close.
It was because of Xinsheng; Xinsheng, the child in that cave, was saved by An Yinan.
Deputy Company Commander Zhang and his wife were unable to have children, so Sun Xiuzhen adopted Xinsheng; the name Xinsheng was even chosen by An Yinan, meaning a new life, and also signifying a brand-new life.
Ever since An Yinan woke up, Sun Xiuzhen often brought Xinsheng over to visit, and only then did the two of them slowly become close; originally, Sun Xiuzhen had also wanted to take the university entrance exam, but considering that Xinsheng was too young, she gave up on it.
