The next morning.

When Su Yan got up, the Tao family had already returned to their home to prepare to welcome guests who came to pay New Year's visits.

Grandpa Jiang was picked up by his guards early in the morning.

Only Grandpa Jue was in the living room watching TV with Grandpa Li and Grandma Li.

After washing up, Su Yan carried her noodles to the living room and ate them as she stood at the door, asking, "Master, why don't you need to go to the hospital for acupuncture anymore?"

Old Master Jue glanced at her and snorted coldly, "Are you trying to get rid of your master now? Do you think your master is too much trouble?"

"Master—!"

Su Yan drew out her voice, expressing her dissatisfaction.

Master Jue was at his wits' end with her, so he gave up trying to tease her and said, "Where will your second and third senior brothers go today? I'll have them give Jiang boy acupuncture while they're at it. I'll take a few days off."

Zhong Jinghe needs to get injections every day, so Su Yu drove her to the hospital early in the morning, bringing along the three little kids.

Moreover, Ye Feixu and Guo Ziming went to the hospital to better understand Zhong Jinghe's condition.

Guo Ziming originally wanted to watch it after the New Year, but Ye Feixu couldn't stay idle.

"If you have nothing to do, you can do acupuncture for Jiang boy in my place," Master Jue said deliberately. "I'm sure Jiang boy would love for you to send him dumplings for a few more days."

She blushed and said, "How did you know? It must be my brother's big mouth again!"

Old Master Jue said irritably, "How many friends do you have in Beijing? And who is worth going to such lengths to send dumplings on New Year's Eve? I may be old, but my mind isn't senile yet."

Grandma Li smiled meaningfully, "Ayan, Grandma hopes you can see your true heart clearly and leave no regrets."

Su Yan, "..."

Now it seems everyone who saw her last night probably knows who she gave that bowl of dumplings to.

She was extremely upset. Was it really that obvious?

Seeing her face, which was as red as a baby's bottom, Master Jue couldn't help but laugh and said, "Alright, let's get serious. How's your schoolwork going? Are you confident you can skip a grade? Don't embarrass your teacher."

Su Yan said slowly, "Master, you can rest assured about my studies."

Upon hearing this, Elder Jue smiled with satisfaction; he was merely showing concern.

He also learned from Guo Ziming that Su Yan grasped the theoretical aspects very quickly.

"By the way, Master, I have a friend who was in a car accident six months ago. She had a brain hemorrhage, which caused her to lose some of her memory. Do you have any way to treat this?"

"If it doesn't jeopardize daily life, it's probably not too serious, so traditional Chinese medicine treatment is fine."

Su Yan's eyes lit up. "That's wonderful!"

Old Master Jue glared at her and asked, "Are you giving me trouble again? I'm so old, all I do is clean up the messes of your four unfilial disciples. Are you trying to kill me?"

Su Yan said pitifully, "Master, that friend is very important to me. I promise this is the last time. After this, I will never add any more burden to you."

"You!" Old Jue shook his head helplessly.

He thought back to when he was teaching Xie Jin's three brats, he hadn't been this indulgent!

It seems that what Jiang Lao said is true: as people get older, they inevitably become more soft-hearted.

Where is your friend? When are they coming?

Su Yan honestly replied, "She's still in the US right now, and she probably won't be able to come for another two weeks."

"We'll talk about that later," said Master Jue. "Your second senior brother rarely comes back for so long. When you have time, you should stay by his side and learn from him. You can learn a lot from him."

Ye Feixu's medical skills are almost catching up with his master's.

Su Yan said eagerly, "Okay, then I'll go to the hospital later."

Old Jue didn't say anything more and continued watching TV.

He finally had some free time after leaving all his work to his three disciples.

...

After Su Yan finished eating her noodles and changed her clothes, she was about to go out when Li Juan returned, carrying more than a dozen chickens.

Upon seeing her, Li Juan immediately asked, "Ayan, where are you going?"

“My master told me to go to the hospital and learn from my second senior brother.”

Li Juan hissed, "Your Grandma Tao told you to come to the Tao family for dinner tonight before she went back!"

Knowing that they had guests at home, Grandma Tao let Su Yan go to the Tao family's house for dinner alone.

"I bought fifteen chickens, intending to have you continue teaching me how to make kiln-roasted chicken. You can go to the Tao family's house this afternoon."

Seeing this, Su Yan said, "Then I'll go to the hospital tomorrow."

The mother and daughter spent the morning in the kitchen.

In addition to kiln-roasted chicken, Su Yan also taught us how to make five-finger peach chicken.

The method for making Five-Finger Peach Chicken is relatively simple.

After marinating the five-finger peach, chicken, and seasonings in a container for two hours, you can steam them or simmer them in a pot until cooked.

It wasn't until 3:30 PM that Tao's driver came to pick up Su Yan and leave.

Two hours later, the car stopped in front of the Tao family villa.

Tao Yue, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, immediately went forward and opened the back door of the car.

She smiled and pulled Su Yan out of the car, her tone quite annoyed, "You've finally arrived! I've been so bored!"

Hearing laughter coming from inside the house, Su Yan asked in confusion, "Didn't we have a lot of guests? Why are you so quiet?"

"I don't like dealing with them," Tao Yue said irritably. "You have no idea how annoying those relatives are. They're all eyeing my marriage. If you don't come soon, I'm really going to cry."

As they spoke, the two had already entered the living room.

Su Yan looked in the direction of the laughter.

The Tao family's living room was large enough to accommodate more than a dozen people, and it was full of people at the moment.

There were even some chairs placed next to the sofa, and the people sitting on those chairs were all young men and women, who looked like pampered young masters and ladies, and each of them had an excellent temperament.

The moment the two appeared, the chatter among the crowd gradually subsided.

Grandma Tao, Tao Yuan, and Qiao Fei all sat in the center.

Grandma Tao broke the silence first, beckoning to Su Yan, "Ayan, come to Grandma."

Su Yan responded and obediently walked up to Grandma Tao.

Tao Yue quickly followed behind the sofa.

She glanced around at the group of young men and noticed that most of them were staring intently at Su Yan. She frowned in annoyance.

Grandma Tao held Su Yan's hand and said happily to everyone, "This is my goddaughter, Ayan. Those who attended the family reunion banquet should remember her."

Upon hearing this, everyone present unanimously exclaimed, "I recognize her! The young lady has grown even more beautiful since the family reunion banquet."

"Madam Tao is so lucky; all her adopted goddaughters are so beautiful."

"I heard that the young lady was an exceptional disciple accepted by Master Jue as his last apprentice. Is that true or not?"

Grandma Tao laughed and said, "Of course it's true. Ayan is much more capable than Xiaoyue. If Xiaoyue were half as capable as her, I wouldn't have to worry so much."

Tao Yue pouted and said with dissatisfaction, "Grandma, Mom, Dad, my brother, and Ayan are enough to take care of things at home. Anyway, I don't know anything, so I can just keep you company."

This remark caused everyone to burst into laughter.

"In my opinion, Xiaoyue and Ayan are about the same age and both so good-looking. They should just get married together. I know a business partner who has twin sons who are both very handsome. They would be a perfect match for your two daughters from the Tao family."
