Chapter 321: Death in the Hospital (Part 2) Chapter 321: Death in the Hospital (Part 2)
The next day, not only Qin Zhen and his wife, but also Qin Xi's family of four, and Li Jianqing and his wife were invited to have dinner at Qin's father's house. The old man was too lazy to move, and was persuaded by Li Xianglu to go out with them.

After breakfast, they changed the two children into new clothes and then, with Ba Er making excited noises all the time, the five of them got in the car and set off.

Qin Shouren is now the dean of the hospital, and Yang Huan became the attending physician in the obstetrics and gynecology department after returning from further studies. The couple is very busy now, so the family hired an aunt to take care of Xiong Youxin. The bear kid is in the second grade of junior high school this year. Although his temper has improved a lot, he still doesn't get along with Qin Zhen. The two started arguing as soon as they entered the door.

Qin Shouren said helplessly: "Qin Zhen, you are the brother, can't you give in to your sister a little."

Qin Zhen really wanted to say that she was not his sister, but that was a bit too hurtful. After all, his father now lived with Aunt Yang, and legally speaking, Xiong Youxin was really their sister, so he just sat there with a gloomy face and ate melon seeds.

Although Xiong Youxin doesn't get along with Qin Zhen, she has always had a good relationship with Minmin. She likes all three children and takes out her own toys for Minmin to play with.

Lu Anna on the side winked at Qin Zhen, and Qin Zhen saw Minmin happily calling Xiong Youxin "Auntie", and they were so affectionate as if they were a family. His dark face became a little embarrassed.

Qin Xi and the others also arrived, so the four children got together again. Fortunately, the house where Qin Shouren lived now was very big, a 200-square-meter suite allocated by the hospital, so it was not crowded at all for the whole family to eat together.

Before Li Xianglu came, she brought a sesame oil chicken, four braised pork elbows and other dishes, and 50 kilograms of fine rice. Although it was already 1983 and food was more sufficient, civil servants still had to eat rationed food.

Yang Huan felt embarrassed to see Li Xianglu and the others bringing so many things. Qin Xi had sent them food several times since they came back, including good rice and noodles. Logically, they should be the couple taking care of the younger generation, but they didn't have the ability to get good food, and instead had to eat what the younger generation sent them.

Seeing Yang Huan hesitating, Li Xianglu smiled and told her not to think too much, as they were all family.

Yang Huan was a good cook, and knowing that the children loved to eat meat, he exchanged a lot of meat tickets early on and made seven or eight dishes by frying, stir-frying, stewing and deep-frying. Together with the two main dishes that Li Xianglu brought, he filled a large table.

Li Jianqing and the other man arrived a little late. When Li Xianglu saw the packaging bag in his hand, she realized that he had gone to the Overseas Chinese Store to buy something.

It was the first time that Li Jianqing and his wife visited Qin Shouren. They bought two bottles of wine, two pieces of cloth, and some croissants.

Lu Anna poked Qin Zhen, who was feeding chicken to the three children, a little embarrassedly. Qin Zhen was having fun with the three little ones, but when he saw his wife's embarrassed face, he hurriedly asked what was wrong.

Lu Anna whispered that they were embarrassed to come empty-handed. Although Lu Anna had met Qin's father before, this was the first time the couple came together, and it was too embarrassing to come empty-handed.
