Chapter 229: New Year's Eve (Part 2)
"Here, a cigarette, but smoke less."
Tu Ran handed over a piece of Hua Zi, and the old man muttered distressedly, "This is very expensive, why did you buy this?"
"The color is red, it has a New Year atmosphere." Tu Ran said deliberately.
The old man didn't say anything, but he felt very satisfied.
"Two bottles of wine, but you have to drink less. You are a Chinese medicine doctor yourself, so I won't advise you."
The price of two bottles of Moutai Feitian is self-evident.
To be honest, Old Man Sun has treated many dignitaries over the years.
He was given plenty of good cigarettes and good wine, but he didn't want any of them.
Maintain integrity, do not be greedy for money, and do not take advantage of others.
But this time it was different. Tu Ran was more like a little apprentice. In his clinic, she could not only be of great help, but also, like him, she was not greedy for money. She was really wholeheartedly devoted to helping people with their illnesses. This was rare among the younger generation.
Especially in the current environment...
In today's materialistic age, the ideal of many young people is no longer to become a doctor, but to become an internet celebrity.
Just because internet celebrities make money, not many people can stick to their original intentions.
This girl has been here for some time, and her character is obvious at a glance. She is a breath of fresh air in Old Man Sun's heart.
"There's also this one, it's not expensive, I thought it was fun so I collected it."
"If you can use it, use it. If you can't, keep it for yourself."
Tu Ran handed over a retro pipe. The moment Old Man Sun saw it, his eyes lit up.
"This...this is good stuff."
The good stuff that Old Man Sun mentioned was not only because the pipe was precious, but also because it was rare. This kind of old stuff was not easy to find. There were many fakes and high imitations on the market, but the materials were not good at all.
Tu Ran took this out, and it was obvious that it was an old item unique to that era.
"Where did you buy it?" The old man was surprised.
"Ah, I found it at a flea market." Tu Ran did not lie, but this was not a flea market, but a famous store selling second-hand luxury goods.
"You're really lucky girl."
"Isn't it just that I have good taste?" Tu Ran said deliberately.
The two looked at each other and laughed.
"Uncle Sun, it's New Year's Day."
"I don't have many friends and family in Xiangcheng. I've been working for you for a while. You've really taught me a lot. As a junior, I came to buy you something to see you. It's normal. Don't take it too seriously."
"Since you wish me a happy new year, the red envelope must be big."
The old man turned around and opened his drawer, inside was a red envelope that had been prepared long ago.
"Uncle Sun, I don't..."
"If you don't want it, just take it away." He really has a stubborn temper.
This one sentence made Tu Ran silent.
"Here, it's the younger generation's responsibility to wish the elders a happy new year."
"But it's only natural for elders to give red envelopes to younger generations."
"Okay then, I'll take it, Uncle Sun."
Tu Ran really didn't intend to take it, but she also understood the old man's temper. In order not to spoil his fun, she accepted it. Just by feeling the thickness, she knew that the old man Sun gave her a lot, at least several thousand.
"Would you like to have lunch here?" Before leaving, Old Man Sun tried to persuade him to stay.
Tu Ran shook his head. "No, Uncle Sun, I still have to drive back to my hometown to worship my ancestors."
"Oh, that's a big deal. We can't delay it. Go quickly, but it's snowing these days and the roads are very slippery. Please be careful."
"Um."
"Oh, there's one more thing."
"What?" Tu Ran turned around.
"Did you give that kid from the Wei family's grandmother acupuncture to wake her up?"
"Ah." Tu Ran didn't want to take credit, so he spoke vaguely.
"He and his aunt came specially last night, but you were not in the store."
"I bought a lot of fruits to express my gratitude."
"They said that after you gave her the acupuncture, the old lady became much more awake. She spoke to them for the last time and she has no regrets."
"Ah, I stumbled upon it by accident. I was just giving it a try." Tu Ran said modestly.
Old Man Sun smiled and said, "Take some of these fruits. They'll be perfect for offering sacrifices to your ancestors when you return home."
"Okay, then I won't be polite."
Tu Ran did not refuse anymore. She picked some of the fruits that Wei Ming brought and put them in the car. Then she drove the brand new Volvo all the way back to Fenghuangling.
She decided to go back to Phoenix Ridge this morning.
Xie Nancheng returned to her old house to celebrate the New Year, but because of the awkward relationship between her and her mother-in-law, she couldn't go back now.
Although I really want to wish the old lady a happy new year, I can't cause trouble for my mother-in-law.
After much thought, she decided to go back to Phoenix Ridge alone.
It's time to go see Grandpa...
I also want to tell my grandfather about my current life.
At this moment, Xie Nancheng bought a lot of things and drove back to the old house.
The gifts prepared for parents and grandma were all presented one by one.
Even an old employee like Sister Qiu was given a scarf from a luxury brand, which was extremely generous.
Not seeing Tu Ran, the old lady didn't dare to ask. Xie Nancheng had already informed her grandmother about this matter in advance.
Although the old lady wanted to see her granddaughter-in-law, she didn't dare to provoke her daughter-in-law because she was sick.
What Xie Nancheng never expected was to see Zhou Han in the old house.
His face suddenly fell, "Why are you in my house?"
Zhou Han's outfit today is quite festive, a red dress that creates a New Year atmosphere.
Her hair was simply tied into a bun, and she looked cute and playful.
She was holding a bag in her hand, and I don’t know if it was intentional, but it was the one Xie Nancheng gave to his mother that day.
"Senior Nancheng, Happy New Year."
"I say, why are you in my house?" Xie Nancheng frowned, already quite unhappy.
"I invited Hanhan here." At this time, Mrs. Xie came down from upstairs.
"Mom, is it appropriate to invite outsiders to our home during Chinese New Year?"
"Hanhan doesn't spend New Year's Eve at our house. She just comes to wish me a happy new year during the day. Is that not allowed?" Mrs. Xie looked at her son.
"It's not that I can't, it's just..."
"Since you're not being rude, then stop talking. Hanhan came to wish me a happy new year, and I prepared a red envelope. As the head of this family, what did you prepare?"
"I didn't prepare anything. I didn't know she would come." After suffering a loss once, the boss refused to give Zhou Han anything again, for fear that she would post nonsense on WeChat Moments.
"If you don't have any, then give me a red envelope. You can't possibly not bring money, right?"
"mom……."
"You can't let them go empty-handed, right?"
Xie Nancheng felt very unhappy that his mother forced him like this.
"Mom, I only prepared red envelopes for Jiatong and Guangyao. I didn't prepare anything else."
"If you have money, give it to me."
"I'll go see Jiatong." Xie Nancheng said, turned and went upstairs.
The second and third wives also came back to celebrate the New Year and are both upstairs.
Xie Huailan and her family were in the old lady's room, saying auspicious words and asking for red envelopes.
Xie Huaishan and his family also came, holding Xie Jiatong and kowtowed in front of the tablet of Xie’s grandfather.
When she saw Xie Nancheng, Yang Xin didn't even dare to look up, for fear of revealing any flaws.
But Xie Nancheng was not in the mood to blame anyone today, so he hurriedly gave red envelopes to the two children.
After kowtowed to the old lady and burned incense for grandpa, he drove out.
He wanted to give Tu Ran a surprise, but when he returned to Tianyi Pavilion, he found that there was no one there.
A phone call was made...
Tu Ran: Hello?
Xie Nancheng: Wife, why aren’t you in Tianyi Pavilion?
Tu Ran: I'm back to Fenghuangling.
Xie Nancheng: ...
Tu Ran: Is there something wrong?
Xie Nancheng: No, I just want to say Happy New Year to you.
Tu Ran: Happy New Year.
After hanging up the phone, Xie Nancheng was extremely impulsive and drove directly towards Fenghuangling.
Xie Family Old House
"Aunt, Senior Nancheng seems to have gone out." Zhou Han didn't say a few words before he saw Xie Nancheng go out, feeling unwilling.
"It's okay, I'll make a call and he will be back soon." Mrs. Xie picked up the phone confidently.
