“We have to take this matter seriously now, otherwise Grandpa will definitely be in danger.” After saying that, Gu Shen was about to share his thoughts.
Before he could even speak, Xia Anyan took out a prescription she had found in her spatial storage.
“There’s something I’ve never told you. Before my mother passed away, she left me a lot of things. This prescription is one of the assets she left me.”
Xia Anyan handed Gu Shen both the prescription and the one she got from Uncle Zhang.
After reading the above content, Gu Shen was also shocked.
Although these two prescriptions are very similar, they are missing several medicinal ingredients.
Most importantly, each of these medicinal herbs is extremely precious.
Even in the past, it would have cost a lot of money.
But if the old man has been taking this stuff all along, why is his health still so poor? Could it be that someone tampered with those medicines?
Not only did he have this thought, but Xia Anyan also had the same thought, feeling that something was not quite right about this matter.
"Yan Yan, what's wrong?" Gu Shen was also very worried when he saw that Xia An Yan's expression was not right.
He would be very upset if something went wrong because of this.
Xia Anyan voiced her concerns, and surprisingly, the two of them thought of the same thing.
"Since you're worried, let's take Grandpa to see a doctor. Mom and Dad are coming tomorrow, so we can take Grandpa along and buy the rest of the things while we're at it. What do you think?"
At that time, there was no such thing as premarital checkups, so when Gu Shen made this suggestion, Xia Anyan was a little taken aback.
But she soon figured it out.
“Okay, let’s get a physical check-up while we’re at it. I know your military is very strict. My status is already special, so if I have any hidden illnesses, the military will probably be even less likely to approve it. I’ll submit the medical report first; it’ll probably be more effective.” Xia Anyan said with a smile.
Gu Shen stood there, gazing at the girl in front of him.
He didn't know what was wrong with him; he just felt a tingling, indescribable sensation in his heart...
"good."
His voice was a little hoarse, and the way he looked at Xia Anyan was so affectionate that it made her blush.
Xia Anyan coughed lightly and saw the person out.
Until the old man woke up that night, none of them mentioned the incident. No one's face showed any sign of what had happened, so the old man naturally had no suspicions.
But during dinner, Xia Anyan specifically mentioned that she was going to the county town to buy things and pick up Gu Shen's parents the next day.
“Grandpa, I was thinking of having you come with us,” Xia Anyan suggested. “After all, they are Gu Shen’s parents. As the hosts, we should personally go and greet them.”
"Furthermore, I would like to have a full body check-up, and I hope you can accompany me."
At first, the old man didn't care much and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
But after hearing Xia Anyan's last sentence, I became a little worried.
He jumped up from the chair in a flash: "Ayan, are you feeling unwell? You must tell Grandpa everything, okay?"
“Grandpa is getting old and can’t handle this kind of shock. So you absolutely must tell him the truth!” Grandpa Xia said, coughing violently.
Xia Anyan knew it was wrong of her to scare the old man like that, but if she didn't do it, would the old man go with her?
"Grandpa, don't worry, I just feel a little unwell and want to get checked out. Besides, I'm getting married to Gu Shen soon, and if something goes wrong with my health, I won't be able to explain it to the army."
“He is a soldier, and he certainly cannot be without children. This situation is very serious, and we all need to take it to heart.”
Gu Shen stood to the side without saying a word, but his concerned gaze prevented the old man from uttering any words of reproach.
He had never thought about these things before, only that his granddaughter would be safe and sound after marrying Gu Shen.
However, the most important point was overlooked: Gu Shen's identity also meant that he could not live like an ordinary person.
Grandpa Xia sighed and nodded: "Alright, let's do it your way."
Early the next morning, Grandpa Xia put on brand-new clothes and went into the city with them.
Gu Shen drove here this time, which was convenient for picking up people and dropping off their belongings. They went straight to the train station and parked outside the gate.
There were many people coming and going, men, women, young and old, and everyone was in a hurry.
Xia Anyan had never met Gu Shen's parents, so she didn't know them and could only hope that Gu Shen's eyesight would be a little better.
Grandpa Xia stood beside her, looking slightly awkward: "Ayan, do you think Grandpa looks alright like this? Won't it be embarrassing?"
Xia Anyan was also amused by the little old man.
Why didn't he seem this flustered when we were at home? It's only now that his face is flushed.
This old man, who had seen a lot in his life, was actually stumped by such a small scene.
She patted the old man on the shoulder: "Grandpa, don't overthink it. You look fine dressed like this."
After hearing their conversation, Gu Shen turned around, looked at the old man, and gave him a thumbs up: "Grandpa, there's absolutely nothing wrong with what you're wearing."
With his granddaughter and future grandson-in-law praising him, the old man finally relaxed.
He was an elder and didn't need to wait outside the car, so he went back inside.
Once everyone left, the two people standing outside exchanged a glance and a look.
Before long, Mr. and Mrs. Gu arrived.
They were both dressed up carefully, their hair was combed neatly, and even the clothes they were wearing were ones they had just changed before getting off the bus.
Knowing that their future daughter-in-law would also be coming to pick them up, the two of them put in a lot of effort, fearing that they might be disliked.
Seeing her son standing at the front door, Gu's mother waved her hands frantically: "Son, son, we're here..."
Gu Shen couldn't hear anything, but the two people's movements were so eye-catching that it was hard not to notice them.
Gu Shen stepped forward, took the luggage from their hands, and led them to the car.
"Yanyan, let me introduce you. These are my parents."
"Mom and Dad, this is Yan Yan. Grandpa is sitting in the car. This isn't the place to talk right now. Let's find somewhere else to chat, okay?"
At this moment, Grandpa Xia had already rolled down the car window, nodded to the two of them, and extended an invitation to them.
At this time, there were no restrictions on the number of passengers in the off-road vehicles. After putting down their luggage and filling up with people, they left the train station directly.
