Chapter 143: The Old House Holds the Shadow of a Daughter
Lu Ye was calm and composed, but Xie Zheng had his own set of ideas.
"So what if you were receiving treatment before? If it could be cured, would it have dragged on until now? How could you have fainted on the train yesterday?"
Lu Ye didn't want to argue with him, so he said, "Let's go see Aunt Mu."
Lu Ye returned to Jishengtang and told Bai Zhi that he was going to visit Mu Qin at the hotel.
He then asked Xie Zheng to lead the way, and Xie Zheng did not refuse, taking Lu Ye with him to the Peace Hotel.
When the two arrived at the hotel entrance, they ran into Xie Yun, who had come to visit Mu Qin and her daughter.
Xie Yun was carrying a net bag for holding fruit, and she lingered and looked around at the hotel entrance.
"Mom, you've come to visit Aunt Mu too?" Lu Ye saw his mother and went over to greet her.
Xie Yun breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Lu Ye and Xie Yun. "This morning I asked Xiao Zheng the name of the hotel where your Aunt Mu is staying. Xiao Zheng was in a hurry to catch up with you, so I didn't hear it very clearly. Luckily, I didn't go to the wrong place."
Lu Ye took the net from his mother and said, "Let's go, let's go up together."
Mu Qin and Gu Xiaoyue were staying on the second floor of the hotel. When the three of them went in, Mu Qin was resting on the bed.
Gu Xiaoyue was packing her things, saying she was checking out.
Seeing Xie Yun and the others arrive, Gu Xiaoyue explained, "We're just staying here for one night. My mom and I are planning to go to our old house to clean it up, and we'll be staying there tonight."
Before the Lu family moved into the military compound, they were neighbors living on the same street.
Lu Ye and the others all knew which old house Gu Xiaoyue was referring to.
"Checking out today?"
Xie Yun went inside and saw Mu Qin lying there, weak and frail. Her nose tingled, and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Xiaoqin." Xie Yun sat down on the edge of the bed and took Muqin's hand.
Mu Qin quickly sat up. "Sister Yun, what brings you here?"
I've come to see you.
Lu Ye followed him in and said to Mu Qin,
"Aunt Mu, no one has lived on the old street for a long time. Where are you going to stay?"
"Yes, that's our home, we feel at ease living there."
When Mu Qin got to this point...
His voice was already choked with uncontrollable sobs.
There was a trace of her eldest daughter there.
Her daughter, Xiao Wei, grew up there until she was fifteen.
Her own life is already on the countdown, and her biggest wish now is to live in her old house again and feel her daughter's presence.
Lu Ye said, "Aunt Mu, please stay at the hotel for now. Xie Zheng, Xiao Yue, and I will clean the house together. Once the house is ready, you can move in."
Gu Xiaoyue chimed in, "Yes, yes, Mom, let's go clean up. Please don't move yet."
Previously, Mu Qin couldn't bear to see Gu Xiaoyue go to the old house alone, so she insisted on checking out of the house to accompany her.
With Lu Ye and Xie Zheng present, she didn't insist any further.
"Okay, then you can go ahead and clean up. Just try not to touch anything else."
Before leaving, Lu Ye asked Mu Qin, "Aunt Mu, my partner told me that she diagnosed you with coronary heart disease. Have you been receiving treatment before?"
Mu Qin's face was pale, and her voice was weak. "This is an old ailment of mine. I've been relying on medication to keep me alive."
"Are you taking Western medicine now?" Lu Ye asked again.
“Yes, we got the medicine from the Kyoto Hospital.” Mu Qin sighed. “I know my own body best. The reason I’ve been able to get through all these years is all for Xiao Yue. She’s an adult now and a college student. I should be able to rest easy now. Whether I take the medicine or not doesn’t matter anymore.”
Upon hearing this, Xie Yun held her hand and tried to comfort her.
“Xiaoqin, you can’t have such negative thoughts. Shanshan and Luye are almost thirty years old and they still can’t take care of themselves. I have endless worries every day. How old is Xiaoyue? As a mother, you have to adjust your mindset and health and spend more time with your child.”
Gu Xiaoyue packed her luggage and stood in front of Mu Qin, her voice muffled, "Mom, Aunt Xie is right, you need to take care of yourself. I can't live without my mother."
As she finished speaking, she sniffled sadly.
"Okay, stop crying. You're a grown man, why are you still crying?"
Mu Qin said with a smile, "Go pack up quickly, we'll try to move there this afternoon."
"Mom, you stay with Aunt Mu, Xie Zheng and I will go clean the house."
Go ahead.
Mu Qin gave the key to the old house to Gu Xiaoyue, and Lu Ye drove them to the Mu family's house on the old street.
........
At Jishengtang, Ye Rufeng and Zhou Zheng reminisced for a while, and it was already noon.
Doctor Zhou brought in a beautiful young woman of about seventeen or eighteen.
"Uncle Ye, Dad, the restaurant reservation is ready, let's go eat."
The girl following Dr. Zhou's footsteps, her bright eyes falling on Bai Zhi as soon as they reached the door.
"This is my daughter, Zhou Lin," Dr. Zhou introduced with a smile.
He not only booked a state-run restaurant as soon as he went out, but also brought his daughter with him.
"Linlin, come here quickly, let me introduce you to the miracle doctor."
Dr. Zhou introduced the doctor to his daughter very solemnly.
“This is your grandfather’s good brother, Doctor Ye. Quickly call him Grandpa Ye.”
"Hello, Grandpa Ye."
"This is Doctor Ye's granddaughter, your sister Baizhi."
"Hello, Sister Baizhi, I've long admired your name." Zhou Lin looked at Baizhi with admiration, her expression both joyful and sincere. "I've wanted to come and find you for a long time, but by the time I had my vacation, you weren't at Jishengtang anymore."
Bai Zhi looked at the bright and cheerful short-haired girl in front of her and said with a smile, "I've wanted to get to know you for a long time."
"Come on, let's go to the restaurant first."
Upon arriving at the state-run restaurant, we sat down at the table that Dr. Zhou had arranged in advance, and soon the dishes were served.
Dr. Zhou spent a fortune to prepare a feast to welcome Ye Rufeng.
Chicken, duck, and fish were all served.
The table was covered with food.
Bai Zhi roughly calculated that this meal would probably cost more than a month's salary for an average person.
Dr. Zhou is so generous.
During a break from eating, Zhou Huaiyi tentatively asked Ye Rufeng, "Uncle Ye, when you leave this time, will Xiaobai come back to Bincheng with you?"
Ye Rufeng said, "It depends on her own wishes."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Bai Zhi and let her make the decision herself.
This girl's medical skills are even better than his own; she's still thriving even without him.
Bai Zhi replied readily and decisively, "Dr. Zhou, I want to go back with my grandfather."
After Bai Zhi expressed her opinion, Doctor Zhou looked slightly disappointed.
In the end, I couldn't keep them.
"Uncle Ye, I have a favor to ask."
Dr. Zhou quickly composed himself and formally helped his daughter to her feet. “My daughter has loved traditional Chinese medicine since she was little. My father used to believe that traditional Chinese medicine should be passed down to men, not women. So, although Linlin was interested in traditional Chinese medicine, she was not able to study it systematically and seriously. I want her to become your apprentice and learn medicine from you.”
Ye Rufeng, "???"
Seeing Ye Rufeng's strange expression, Doctor Zhou quickly offered a compromise, "If you feel it's inappropriate to take her in, you can have him become a disciple of Doctor Xiaobai."
