Chapter 693: The Old Man Who Doesn't Disappoint
After the hotel's opening ceremony, the guests left one after another.
Grandpa Lu was reluctant to leave, wanting to chat with Ye Rufeng a little longer and to find out more about Lu Ye and Bai Zhi's situation.
Ye Rufeng was being polite and took the initiative to tell him about his life as a young couple.
She also told Grandpa Lu that Bai Zhi was in talks with a military hospital about a collaboration, and that it was very likely she would open a studio there in the future, specializing in detoxification.
When Grandpa Lu heard the news, he was so excited that he almost burst into tears.
So, his granddaughter-in-law will be working in a military hospital, which is no different from being a military doctor.
This is the glory of the Lu family.
"My granddaughter-in-law is too outstanding." Looking at Ye Rufeng, Grandpa Lu felt even more grateful to his maternal grandfather for raising such an outstanding talent as Bai Zhi.
"Old brother, thank you for raising such an outstanding young TCM doctor as Xiaozhi. It is an honor for our Lu family to have such a capable granddaughter-in-law."
"Alright, there's nothing to thank me for."
Ye Rufeng felt somewhat guilty.
He doesn't remember his past life. In this life, he just got a granddaughter with a lot of skills. He didn't have to give anything in return.
On the contrary, they benefited from it.
That girl was a gift sent from heaven.
"I should thank you."
"There's nothing to thank me for. That girl is outstanding," Ye Rufeng said in a low voice. "She's outstanding to an extreme. She's always busy, and Lu Ye is nowhere to be seen. If this continues, your great-grandson will probably be a long way off."
Ye Rufeng looked at Old Master Lu with a meaningful tone, and then observed his reaction after speaking.
"Xiao Zhi is still young, there's no rush to have children. She's still a child herself. Young people should focus on their careers, it's not too late to have children in a few years."
Upon hearing Old Master Lu's words, Ye Rufeng's expression became subtle, as if he didn't quite believe that this was what Old Master Lu truly thought. "Are you serious? Aren't you in a hurry to hold your great-grandchild?"
"What's the rush?" Grandpa Lu said in a very serious tone. "Having a child is a matter for the young couple. As elders, we shouldn't put pressure on them. If we urge them to have a child but can't help take care of it, wouldn't that just add to their burden?"
“Lu Ye’s mother won’t be able to retire for another two years. If she urges Xiao Zhi to have a baby now, there will be no one to help take care of it. In the military family compound, hiring a nanny is not a good idea. If the baby is born and left at home, Xiao Zhi and Xiao Ye, who are in another city, will definitely be worried. They will miss the baby all day and will have no heart to work.”
Grandpa Lu continued, "So, I told Xiaozhi a long time ago that they should take advantage of their youth to pursue their careers with confidence. After her mother-in-law retires in a few years, they can help take care of their children. By then, the young couple will be more mature and ready to be parents."
Old Master Lu spoke with such sincerity that Ye Rufeng looked at him with completely new respect.
He originally thought that since Grandpa Lu was so old and in poor health, he would definitely urge his grandson to have children and be eager to hold his great-grandson after he got married.
Many elderly people are annoying because they never consider the pressures faced by young people and only care about their own comfort.
They claim that they can only close their eyes after seeing their children, so they can give an account to their ancestors in the afterlife.
I don't know what exactly I'm supposed to explain.
In short, he had previously treated some infertile women who tried every means to have children so that their elderly relatives could hold their grandchildren or great-grandchildren before they passed away.
It's heartbreaking.
Old Lu is indeed worthy of his military background.
It's not that rotten.
His granddaughter married the right person.
Ye Rufeng's tone softened considerably. "Brother, I'm very happy that you're thinking of the children."
"Sigh, I can't help the children, so I can't just cause them trouble, can I?"
"That's right."
The two chatted for a while, then Old Master Lu looked up and around.
"Where's Xie Zheng? He's nowhere to be seen. I was thinking of going back with him."
Ye Rufeng hadn't seen him either. "I don't know, maybe he's gone?"
"It's getting late, we should go."
The two elderly people were talking when Xie Zheng came back, huffing and puffing.
She was holding a small bag in her hand.
"Grandpa Ye, this is a record I gave to Xiaozhi and the others. Please take it and make sure to give it to them."
Xie Zheng knew that Ye Rufeng was elusive and might leave immediately after today's events. He had work to do and couldn't follow him around all the time, so he could only take advantage of the fact that Ye Rufeng was at the hotel while he went home to get his things.
"Okay, I'll give it to them."
Ye Rufeng took the bag from Xie Zheng's hand, not understanding why Xie Zheng was so insistent on giving someone a record.
If it were really that famous, you could definitely buy it in record stores.
Looking at the spirited Xie Zheng, Grandpa Lu asked with a smile, "Xiao Zheng, what have you been busy with lately? I haven't seen you around much."
“Grandpa Lu, I was returning from a performance out of town a few days ago, and I’m going to another gala out of town tomorrow. I’ve been quite busy and haven’t had a chance to visit you.”
"So you're so busy now?"
This kid used to be so idle, doing nothing all day long, it was worrying to watch.
Now he has a career and I heard he's made a lot of money.
Old Xie proudly went around promoting himself all day long.
A few days ago, I was also giving away some records everywhere.
Grandpa Lu was also very happy for him.
This kid has finally stopped sponging off his parents.
Old Xie finally had something to look forward to.
"Old brother, come to my house for dinner tonight," Old Master Lu sincerely invited Ye Rufeng.
Ye Rufeng politely declined, saying, "I won't go. My nephew is here, and I'll have a get-together with them tonight."
Most importantly, I was able to reunite with my son and daughter-in-law.
With Ye Jinsong here tonight, the atmosphere will definitely not be awkward.
Grandpa Lu continued hopefully, "When are you leaving? If you can stay a few more days, we can arrange another time."
"I can't say for sure, maybe he'll leave in the next day or two," Ye Rufeng said. "The clinic needs a doctor to see patients."
“Okay, we’ll contact you tomorrow. When you leave, I’ll have Zheng’an see you off.”
"No need to send it."
He used to always go out alone and never let anyone see him off.
Now that he has a son, even if he were to give him away, he wouldn't let an outsider do it.
Looking at the reluctant old man Lu, Ye Rufeng squeezed his hand and said, "Brother, let's get together again next time you come back. Next time, let the children come back to see you too."
"well."
Grandpa Lu looked at Ye Rufeng, then at himself, and felt incredibly envious. The two were about the same age, but Ye Rufeng's quality of life was much better than his.
She is agile and can go wherever she wants.
But he is still using his remaining energy to treat and save lives.
He has been retired for over a decade and spends his days at home being waited on.
"Then I'll be going now."
"Goodbye, Grandpa Ye, Boss Ye."
"Okay, goodbye."
Ye Rufeng and Ye Tiandong watched as Elder Lu and Xie Zheng left.
As soon as Grandpa Lu and Xie Zheng left, Ye Tiandong hurriedly asked Ye Rufeng, "Dad, where did my cousin go? Is something wrong?"
Ye Tiandong looked extremely worried.
It was already 3 p.m., the ceremony had long since ended, and the hotel had officially opened for business.
His cousin is still nowhere to be found.
Could it be that something suddenly happened in Bincheng and he went back to Bincheng?
Ye Rufeng met Ye Tiandong's anxious gaze and said in a low voice, "Now you know how to get anxious?"
"What exactly happened?" Ye Tiandong pressed.
Was it because he didn't treat his cousin well that his cousin got angry?
