Sure enough, seeing Su Xiao accept it, Su Qiang's smile stretched almost to the back of his ears.
On the way to the breeding farm, Su Xiao briefly explained the situation of the breeding farm to Su Qiang.
"Grandpa Hua is the same Grandpa Hua who lives next door to us. He is now my master, and I am learning traditional Chinese medicine from him."
"Really?" Su Qiang asked in surprise. "That's quite a coincidence."
"Hmm, I'll have my master take your pulse in a bit."
"Uh, that's not necessary, I'm perfectly fine." Su Qiang immediately felt guilty when he heard that he still needed to see the old Chinese medicine doctor, and his voice lowered a few decibels.
“Brother, lying will grow a tail.” Su Xiao glanced at him and said something that their mother used to scare them when they were little, full of childhood memories.
After Su Xiao finished speaking, both of them fell silent, and the atmosphere became somewhat heavy.
Huang Feiyan followed behind them, listening silently to their conversation. Hearing this, she couldn't help but worry about Su Qiang's health. "Brother Su Qiang, why don't you let Grandpa Hua take a look? Grandpa Hua is a highly skilled doctor. If you feel unwell, he can treat you promptly. If not, he can prescribe some tonics to strengthen your body..."
Huang Feiyan's sudden chatter instantly dispelled the heavy atmosphere that had just been there.
Su Xiao chimed in, "Yes, Yanzi is so thoughtful. But food is worse than medicine. I'll cook you some delicious food these next few days."
"Huh? Xiaoxiao can cook now?" Su Qiang was surprised. He remembered that the year he left, Xiaoxiao was just helping her mother tend the fire.
Huang Feiyan, who was the most qualified to speak on this, immediately chimed in, "Of course, Xiaoxiao's cooking is delicious! Let me tell you, she can cook a chicken in three different ways..."
Huang Feiyan spoke eloquently, and Su Qiang listened with great interest; the two were quite harmonious.
Su Xiao quietly retreated to the back, letting them chat to their hearts' content.
Ah, her good sister and brother, she was happy to see it happen.
But we'll have to wait and see how it goes.
However, the journey was short, and they soon arrived at the farm.
Old Man Hua was drying herbs when he saw Su Xiao and his group approaching from afar, and he secretly sized up the young man in military uniform.
“Master.” Su Xiao waved to Old Man Hua, jogged over, and introduced him, “That’s my brother Su Qiang. Do you remember him? He came to see me.”
“Su Qiang? Qiangzi.” Old Man Hua suddenly realized and laughed, “I remember him. He was so mischievous when he was little. I remember that year, you guys were playing shuttlecock and kicked it into my yard. This kid didn’t use the gate, he insisted on climbing over the wall. When he came down from the wall, he accidentally kicked over a whole basket of my medicinal herbs…”
"Grandpa Hua, it's been so long, how do you still remember?" Su Qiang scratched his head sheepishly.
"Haha." Old Man Hua laughed heartily, "Come on, let's go inside and talk. It's sunny outside."
Seeing Su Xiao carrying her bedding, Old Man Hua understood after a moment's thought and said happily, "Let Qiangzi stay in my room. Old Man Gong's bed board hasn't been removed yet. Sigh, we used to live together before, and I'm quite unaccustomed to it now that he's gone. It's good that Qiangzi is here; he can keep me company tonight."
Old Man Hua wasn't lying. Tian Sheng wasn't good with words, and they didn't have much in common. After Old Man Gong and Old Man Cai left, he had no one to talk to at night, and he was indeed quite lonely.
"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony. Sorry to bother you, sir," Su Qiang replied immediately.
