Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s

Chapter 1871: Chapter 1871: Clarity Without Regret

Qin Jian’s big hand gently stroked her arm’s smooth skin: ”I miss you too. Why didn’t you tell me earlier about what happened at home?”

Qin Jian only heard about An Hao’s family situation after his father Ning Yibin had resolved it.

”Telling you wouldn’t have helped. Besides, you’re there to study, and I didn’t want these trivial things at home to distract you.”

”Wife, you are truly considerate. But seeing you holding up the family on your own, my heart feels a bit sour and bitter.” Qin Jian embraced her tightly, speaking with intense guilt, ”Sorry for letting you suffer with me. You know, as a soldier, I can’t juggle both ends...”

”You don’t need to say it, I understand. Marrying you isn’t suffering, my heart is filled with sweetness every day... Being with the one I love, even the bitterness is sweet, and I am willing, joyfully accepting it.”

”An Hao, thanks to heaven for bringing you into my life...”

”Qin Jian, thanks to heaven...” for giving me another chance, allowing me to make up for the regret of last time.

With you in this life, I understand and have no regrets!

”Thank you!”

Outside, the wind and snow howled, enveloping the two in deep affection.

The night is still long, and they have endless love words to share.

This year’s New Year’s celebration was unusually lively and special.

An Shuchao gave his two houses and everything in the family to his brother An Baoguo to pay off debts.

Having nowhere to go for New Year.

He is currently living in An Ping’s vegetable company, listening to the crackling of firecrackers outside, feeling increasingly desolate.

”Dad, look! Everyone is carrying big bags and small bags home for the New Year. We’re pitiful, selling our home this year and can only spend New Year cramped in this vegetable company. It’s freezing cold, and there’s not even someone to cook for us.”

An Shuchao’s legs are still not agile, so everything inside and out relies on An Ping to manage.

It’s New Year’s Eve, and although it’s just the two of them at home, they can’t spend it with cold plates and bowls.

”Don’t say anything more. It’s me who has let you down. I won’t meddle in your second uncle’s matters in the future. I’ve done my best as a brother to help him.” An Shuchao sighed as he spoke.

”Alright dad, let’s not talk about those things anymore; what’s important now is what we’re going to eat.” For An Ping, who’s never cooked, this is indeed the biggest challenge at hand.

”Boil some water and make a hotpot.”

”Dad, my dear dad! Even delicacies become tiresome if you eat them daily. We’ve had hotpot for three days straight, every meal the same. Can’t we change it up?”

”I can’t cook, so you decide what to eat.”

An Shuchao felt like he was just a useless person.

An Ping’s eyes turned: ”How about I call my sister?”

”Don’t call your sister. She has her own matters...” An Shuchao didn’t want to trouble his daughter anymore.

”Alright then, I’ll make the hotpot.” An Ping said reluctantly.

Just then, the sound of a car engine came from outside, and An Ping pushed the door open to go out, only to see a military vehicle parked at the door.

The car door opened, and a handsome man jumped down from the driver’s seat. Upon seeing him, An Ping grinned widely.

”Brother-in-law, you’ve finally made it! To me, a day without seeing you feels like three years!”

”Your mouth is getting slicker!” Qin Jian said with a smile, ”If you miss me so much, why didn’t you give me a call or write?”
