Two generations of military wives compete for time

Grandma Chen Yalu echoed, "Yes, yes, you guys should go out and play. Tonight we will hold the New Year's Eve ceremony, set off firecrackers, eat New Year's Eve dumplings, and the New Year will be over. Your days of crazy play are over, and you should study and work as you should, and return to your normal life. Do you understand?"

Qiangjun muttered, "The New Year is over, but the winter vacation isn't over yet, and we're not allowed to play anymore, ah..."

Han Shiyan and Li Baoguo were packing their luggage in the bedroom. For Han Shiyan, the most precious thing was the films she took with heavy snow and icicles as the background.

Han Shiyan repeatedly reminded Li Baoguo to pack them up and put them in the suitcase. When they arrived in Hong Kong, they should enlarge them one by one, print them out, and mail them back, so that everyone in each photo could see those beautiful moments at any time and recall those beautiful moments.

As the lights came on, wisps of smoke rose from every household. Ming Zhigang and Qian Baogui came to the kitchen to help. Housekeeper Qin Yue'e liked these two diligent, sensible, polite and studious young people very much.

After a while, Junhua, who supports the army, loves the army, and strengthens the army, grandma Chen Yalu also came to the kitchen. Everyone worked together and a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner was ready.

Uncle Chen Haoyu was sitting in a wheelchair, cousin Chen Jinting was pushing the wheelchair slowly, and cousin Chen Mengwei was chatting and laughing beside my father. The three of them came to the restaurant at a leisurely pace.

Grandpa Lu Kaipu asked: "Brother Haoyu, what kind of liquor should we drink tonight? Kuangfujia liquor? Shanxi Fenjiu? Beijing Erguotou?"

After finishing the meal, Ming Zhigang and Qian Baogui quickly ran to Ming Yuanhui's bedroom and rushed to help Uncle Yuanhui get dressed and get out of bed. Ming Yuanhui said with a smile: "You two boys, do you think I'm an old man in his eighties who is bedridden and can't take care of himself? Go aside, I can do it myself."

Qian Yizhen snickered and said, "Yuanhui, you have forgotten the pain now that the wound has healed. On New Year's Eve, it was these two guys who carried you to the emergency department of the Provincial People's Hospital."

Ming Yuanhui scratched his head and muttered, "Things are different now. You're just talking about something else." Qian Yizhen waved at the three people and urged them, "Let's go to the restaurant, eat dumplings, and celebrate the New Year."

....

After seeing Ming Zhigang and Li Hongmei off, Wang Wei returned to his apartment, washed and dressed, then ran towards the Gudao Temple and towards Yuan Daoqin with a nervous mood.

Yuan Daoqin was meditating and reading in his mother's Zen room. When he heard someone knocking on the door, he got up and opened it.

"Hello. Ming Zhigang and Li Hongmei went back to the provincial capital to eat New Year's dumplings, leaving me alone. I came to see you for something." Wang Wei said as he handed the love letter he had written to Yuan Daoqin.

Seeing Wang Wei's bewilderment, Yuan Daoqin took the love letter and said, "Brother Wang Wei, please sit down. Don't be shy. I have a good impression of you. I know you graduated from Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics and are a rare talent in the country who is engaged in satellite launch. I admire and envy you. I am willing to be friends with you."

Wang Wei stood up excitedly and asked eagerly: "Yuan Daoqin, do you like me? Are you willing to fall in love and marry me?"

"Brother Wang Wei, there are some things you have to think clearly. First, do you and your family mind my mother's identity as a Taoist priest? Second, I can only get married after I graduate from college. Are you willing to wait? Third, I want to continue my studies after graduating from college. Can you support me? Fourth, I have my favorite career in traditional Chinese medicine, and I cannot follow the army to the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Base to be with you. Can you accept the long-term separation of husband and wife?" Yuan Daoqin said seriously.

"Classmate Yuan Daoqin, I didn't expect that you are young but you think a lot and think long-term. As a grown man, I really haven't thought about these things. But don't worry, I will listen to you in everything about us. I swear."

Wang Wei couldn't help but awkwardly hugged Yuan Daoqin in his arms. Taoist Priest Yuan Yanqin stood outside the window and witnessed the two young people expressing their love. She didn't want to disturb the couple's intimate behavior, so she turned and left.

At noon, Taoist Master Yuan Yanqin stood outside the Zen room and said, "Niuniu, it's time to eat. Ask your friend if he is willing to stay and try the vegetarian food in our ancient Taoist temple."

Wang Wei opened the door and said with a smile: "Aunt Yuan, I am willing to stay. I really want to try what you eat during the New Year in your Taoist family. Are there any rules? Remind me, I am afraid of making a fool of myself, and I cannot embarrass you, hehe."

After having lunch in the cafeteria of the Ancient Taoist Temple, Wang Wei happily said goodbye to Taoist Priest Yuan Yanqin and the beautiful Yuan Daoqin, and returned to the talent apartment of Dream Come True Textile Co., Ltd.

Professor Jiang Yuhan did not see Wang Wei when she was having lunch in the company cafeteria. After lunch, she returned to the talent apartment and knocked on her son's room, but no one answered. She was wondering where this bad boy had gone.

"Mom, I succeeded. Yuan Daoqin agreed. We officially started dating today. Isn't your son amazing?"

"You little brat, you look so happy, have you had lunch yet?"

"I've already eaten. It was a vegetarian meal at the Gudao Temple canteen. It had big white steamed buns and mixed vegetables."

"What kind of dish is Hunyuan dish? Is it delicious?" Professor Jiang Yuhan asked curiously.

"According to Taoist Priest Yuan Yanqin, there are various ways to prepare Hunyuan cuisine. One can either stew the fruits and vegetables in the offerings with grains, or cook the removed offerings such as fruits, vegetables, mushrooms, etc. with grains. This practice not only reflects the respect for the ingredients, but also embodies the Taoist philosophy of 'the heart knows the ancestors, and the offerings are offered to people.'" Wang Wei listed all the treasures and talked about them eloquently.

"Go back to your room and have some rest. You must have suffered from insomnia last night. You have dark circles now. Go to your room and catch up on your sleep." Professor Jiang Yuhan said with a heartache.

"Mom, the dark circles under my eyes are not caused by last night. They are caused by staying up all night on New Year's Eve, hehe." "Silly boy, try to quibble." Professor Jiang Yuhan waved at his son and went back to his room for a nap.

After lunch, Yuan Yanqin and Yuan Daoqin returned to the Zen room. The sunlight outside shone through the icicles and the window onto the desk filled with books. It was icy and snowy outside, but warm and cozy inside.

Taoist Priest Yuan Yanqin put two pieces of charcoal into the brazier. She looked at Yuan Daoqin standing beside her kindly and said, "Niuniu, you have grown up and started to fall in love?

Marriage is a major event in life, you have to think it through. Although you are the master of your own life, if you have any questions, you should tell your mother in time. Your mother understands Taoism and can guide and enlighten your soul. "

"Mom, I know you are the one who knows me best. This is Wang Wei's birth date and time. Please calculate it for him. Unfortunately, my birth date and time are unknown. It is impossible to calculate whether our marriage is compatible or not, so let's skip this procedure, hehe."

"Everything depends on human effort. As long as the two of you respect each other, love each other, and have a close relationship, there will be no difficulties that cannot be overcome. All problems will be solved."

"Mom, when you were young, did you have someone you loved?"
