Chapter 2540

Niuniu quickly raised his own glass filled with drinks, imitating his parents' appearance and said, "Grandpa, Grandma, Happy New Year and all the best!"

Su Wenjun and his wife were so happy that they quickly clinked glasses with Niuniu again and said, "Good, Happy New Year and good health to our Niuniu too!"

After finishing this glass of wine, Su Xinghui's family raised their glasses together to toast Su Xingyun and her husband, also wishing them a Happy New Year and all the best. After drinking, everyone started eating. Drinking was only occasional; after all, it was a family banquet, and drinking was just to set the atmosphere.

After coming to Jingcheng, Su Xinghui rarely ate hometown food, but today everything made at home was hometown food, which made him eat to his heart's content. He actually didn't have much desire for food; what he liked to eat most was hometown food. Big meals could be eaten occasionally, but if he ate them every day, hometown food was better.

The family ate happily and chatted happily. Su Xinghui said, "Dad, why don't you retire after the New Year and come to Jingcheng with Mom to live here?"

Su Wenjun couldn't help but ponder. Next year he would be fifty-nine, only one year away from the retirement age of sixty. If it were up to him, he would want to work until sixty to retire. If the hospital rehired him, it wouldn't be impossible for him to work for a few more years.

However, his family had already proposed the idea of early retirement to him several times, and he had to seriously consider it. After all, family is the most important thing.

Practicing medicine is the profession he loves, but he now holds an administrative position and is increasingly dealing with administrative affairs, with fewer and fewer opportunities to practice medicine on the front line. This is something he doesn't like very much. However, his superiors appointed him as the dean, so he can only obey the organization's orders.

But holding an administrative position is really not what he likes, and his family really needs him. Guo Suhua has been retired for several years. If it weren't for taking care of him, she could have lived with her son long ago, enjoying the happiness of grandchildren every day.

As far as Su Wenjun's own thoughts are concerned, he also really hopes to see his grandson every day. When a person reaches this age, isn't that how it is?

Guo Suhua and Su Xinghui's couple looked at Su Wenjun with anticipation. Niuniu said, "Grandpa, Grandma, move here to live, and play with Niuniu every day."

Niuniu's words added a heavy weight to the balance, instantly causing the balance in Su Wenjun's heart to tilt. He smiled and nodded, "Alright, then I will apply for early retirement when I go back, and then come to Jingcheng to take care of my grandson."

Guo Suhua said with a beaming face, "Yes, old man, how good this would be, living with our son and daughter-in-law, and being able to take care of Niuniu every day, saving us from hiring a nanny. We will take care of our own grandson ourselves."

Lu Xiaoya smiled and said, "Mom, it's better to hire a nanny. We invited you two to come here to enjoy happiness, not to do housework. If you come here and do the work of a servant, won't others say we are unfilial?"

Guo Suhua said, "It's fine. There are only a few people in our family. How much housework is there? No need to hire a nanny. Both Dad and Mom are still healthy, and doing this little work is no problem. Besides, don't every family in China come through like this? Are we more precious?"

Lu Xiaoya and Su Xinghui looked at each other. Since the elderly don't want to hire a nanny, let's leave it like this for now. At least this time Su Wenjun agreed to retire, which is already a big step forward. As for the things behind, let's take it slowly.

After this big event was decided, the family was even happier, and they spent a lively New Year together.

That night, when staying up for the New Year, Su Xinghui made a round of calls to relatives and friends to wish them a Happy New Year. With the increasing use of telephones, there are more and more people wishing Happy New Year by phone now.

Relatives and friends heard that they were spending the New Year in Jingcheng, and they were very happy to wish each other a Happy New Year, telling them to eat and play well in Jingcheng.

The reason Su Xinghui made this round of calls was also to notify them that Su Wenjun and his wife were spending the New Year in Jingcheng this year, so they wouldn't think Su Wenjun was still in Shangjun and run to Shangjun to pay a New Year's call on the first day of the first lunar month, only to find no one there.

Everyone watched the Spring Festival Gala, played mahjong, ate dumplings, and drank lotus root soup in the main room where Su Wenjun and his wife lived, harmonious and happy, until after 12:00 midnight, when the Spring Festival Gala ended completely and the time had reached the first day of the first lunar month, they then rested.

Only at this time did it mean that staying up for the New Year was over, and the Chinese Lunar New Year officially began. ===== CHAPTER 2542 =====
