Chapter 332 Hospitality
“But…but…”
Lin Li was at a loss for words. Isn’t the purpose of dating to get married?
Su Tong then said seriously, "What do you mean by "but"! I am willing to date your boss for the time being, and marriage is for the next stage. I can understand the old man's obstruction. He has decided that his granddaughter-in-law is Lin Jiao. He has made a promise to Lin Jiao's grandfather and he owes her. Now the case has not been settled, and Qin Yi has been busy all the time. I am sure he has not had time to formally tell his family about me."
"Tell me, how could Mr. Qin be willing to approve Qin Yi's marriage report under such a confused situation. Therefore, before getting Mr. Qin's consent and properly arranging Lin Jiao's affairs, Qin Yi and I can't get married."
Lin Li sighed and nodded:
"It's good that you can understand! Mr. Qin has been a powerful figure throughout his life. He is a veteran who has truly fought on the battlefield. The eldest brother told me that what happened to Mr. Su was the thing he felt he owed the most in his life, so he took extra care of Lin Jiao..."
"Alas! The old man went to the battlefield a few years ago and his health is not good. In the Qin family, I guess no one dares to disobey him except the eldest brother."
Su Tong glanced at Lin Li indifferently.
Lin Li was shocked. "What happened again?"
"If you have something to say, just say it directly. There's no need to beat around the bush in front of me."
"D-Did I?"
Su Tong said with some disdain: "You just want to tell me that when Qin Yi comes back, I will persuade him not to confront Mr. Qin!"
"Ah! Am I that obvious?"
Lin Li covered his face and shouted, "I, I'm not afraid to speak frankly. Do you think I'm not on your side? In fact, Mr. Qin is usually quite open-minded. You'll know once you meet him! But when it comes to Lin Jiao's matter..."
Lin Li was kicked out by Su Tong.
Because he was not only long-winded but also unable to distinguish the important from the unimportant, Su Tong felt a headache looking at him.
"Ah! You're sending me away now! But I still have something to say!"
Lin Li was jumping outside the door.
——————
The next day, Su Tong slept until almost nine o'clock.
All members who went on this overseas exchange trip were given three days of vacation.
Su Tong also decided to take a good rest for a few days before deciding what to do next.
After strolling around the yard, she made a list, took her keys, and prepared to go out to buy some daily necessities.
The alley in front of the courtyard is quite spacious, big enough for a car to drive in.
When she went out, she saw many children running and playing in the alley, the scene was full of life.
When she came back with a big net bag, she found the group of children gathered in a group chattering in the distance.
One of the children turned around and saw her and shouted:
"An adult is coming!"
Then a group of children shouted at her:
"Sister! Come quickly! There's an old man collapsed here!"
"His eyes are closed! Is he dying?"
"Don't talk nonsense, he's still breathing! My mom said that when a person dies, he has no breath!"
…
Su Tong saw an old man lying on the ground. His face was blue, his breathing was weak, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat even in the middle of winter.
She hurried forward, squatted down, and took the old man's pulse.
Then she took out silver needles and inserted them into several acupuncture points on the old man's head.
The needle bag had been buttoned up again and was always tied around the wrist.
After a few minutes, the old man opened his eyes.
Su Tong hurriedly took out a candy from the net bag, peeled off the candy wrapper, and stuffed it into the old man's mouth.
The little kid next to them started chattering again.
"Sister, is he alive again?!"
"Is he hungry because he has no food to eat?"
…
Su Tong said to them: "This grandpa is sick! Children! What will you do next time you encounter this situation?"
"Call me Sir!"
"No! Call him Uncle Public Security!"
"It's no use calling the police, we have to call a doctor!"
…
Su Tong smiled and said, "You are all right! In this case, we must notify the adults immediately so that they can send the patient to the hospital in time. Some illnesses are very urgent and cannot be delayed. Delaying treatment will affect life!"
"Yeah! We got it! We just found out that grandpa had fallen down, and then we saw our sister coming over! So we called our sister!"
Su Tong took out the candies and gave some to each child.
"So, you guys did great today! Here's a reward for you!"
The children took the candies and ran away happily to play.
The old man coughed and recovered.
He looked at Su Tong and said in a hoarse voice: "Miss! Thank you!"
Su Tong carefully helped the old man up and asked:
"Grandpa, you didn't eat this morning! With your health, you need to eat small meals frequently, especially breakfast. Don't be careless."
After the old man stood up, Su Tong realized that he was very tall but thin. He must have been a strong and sturdy man when he was young.
The old man dusted off his body and said a little embarrassedly:
"I was in a hurry to go out this morning and forgot to eat! Girl! Can you tell what's wrong with me just by looking at me like this?"
Su Tong smiled, "Didn't I just check your pulse? Your digestive system isn't very good, so you have to eat three meals on time, otherwise you'll get hypoglycemia. There are also some issues with your heart... but they're not serious. Just pay more attention to it in your daily life."
The old man seemed very surprised, turned his head and looked at Su Tong and said:
"You can see that my heart problem is not serious, right? I've said it before, I just need to eat well, but they won't listen. They ask me to have this or that checkup every day. I say I'm fine, but they won't believe me."
Su Tong laughed, "It's really not a big problem. If you take good care of your body, you can live a long life!"
As she spoke, she picked up the net bag on the ground and said to the old man:
"Grandpa, you need to eat something quickly in your current condition! To be honest, I slept in today and haven't had breakfast yet. If you don't mind, come to my place and we can have breakfast together?"
"Okay! I don't mind, I don't mind! As for eating, you can eat whenever you want! Why do you have to divide it into time? I hate dividing it into time! Judging from the girl's accent, she is from the South..."
Su Tong chatted with the old man casually and returned to the courtyard.
Su Tong asked the old man to sit in the living room, and quickly prepared a bowl of noodles, added a few slices of green vegetables, sprinkled some sesame oil and chopped green onions, and also poached two eggs.
The old man was very happy. He ate the food with the bowl in his hand and even finished the soup.
Then he said to Su Tong: "It smells so good! Great cooking! It tastes much better than the ones I have at home."
"That's because you're hungry!"
"Hey! Girl! You are from the south, you must know how to make chopped pepper fish head, right?"
"I can cook not only chopped pepper fish head, spicy rabbit head, mapo tofu, but also authentic Sichuan hot pot!"
"Really?" The old man's eyes lit up.
"Really! But with your current stomach, you can't touch any of these."
Su Tong's answer was merciless.
The old man's face immediately fell.
Isn't this just making fun of others on purpose, and he speaks so sweetly!
Su Tong couldn't help but laugh.
He walked around the room twice with his hands behind his back and asked some questions:
"You haven't lived here long, have you?"
Su Tong said: "Yeah! I just moved in yesterday."
"Planning to stay long?"
"I don't have any long-term plans yet, but I can't refuse my friend's kindness, so I'll stay here for now."
"You're just going to live in your friend's house if he lets you?"
Su Tong nodded and said, "My friends trust me, and I think I am worthy of their trust."
The old man paused, turned his head and looked at Su Tong, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Su Tong smiled, "Mr. Qin! You can ask any questions you have! We can be frank with each other."
