Upon hearing that Xie Yan could actually cure his grandfather's old ailment, Zhang Cehan was so excited that he stood up from his seat, grabbed Xie Yan's hand, and said earnestly, "As long as you can cure my grandfather, I promise you, you can have anything you want. As long as it's within my power, I will do it without hesitation!"
Before Xie Yan could speak, the old man interrupted Zhang Cehan, saying, "No need, I'm perfectly fine, why would I need treatment!"
After saying that, the old man stood up and made a move to go upstairs.
The old man knew in his heart that he was getting old and might go to find his old comrades one day. If he, an old man with one foot in the grave, were to jeopardize his grandson's future, what kind of person would he become?
Xie Yan was both amused and exasperated by the starkly different reactions of the grandfather and grandson.
He raised his hand and slapped Zhang Cehan's arm, half-jokingly saying, "Brother, all I want is some money and tickets. Do you have to portray me as a heinous criminal?"
The old man, who had already stood up and taken a few steps, heard this, pretended to be nonchalant, poured himself a glass of water, and sat down again, but his eyes unconsciously looked at Xie Yan.
Zhang Cehan realized that he had overreacted a bit, and an embarrassed smile appeared on his face. He scratched his head and said, "Don't worry, brother, I know it wasn't easy for you to get tickets in the countryside."
"Just tell me what kind of tickets you want, and I'll give you whatever I have. Even if I don't have any, there's my grandpa. He has a full set of tickets." After saying that, he looked at the old man ingratiatingly and said with a smile, "Right, Grandpa!"
The old man snorted coldly and said, feigning anger, "I knew it. You brat, you've been eyeing my tickets all along, but you wouldn't admit it before."
Even so, when she turned to look at Xie Yan, her eyes became kind and gentle, "Kid, that brat wasn't wrong about that. I may not have much else, but I do have some tickets."
The old man had endured hardship and cherished everything he had, including tickets.
Grandma Zhang carefully checks the tickets every day. She only gives the tickets that are about to expire to her son or grandson. She carefully saves the rest.
Xie Yan's eyes lit up, and a bright smile spread across her face. "Then I'm so lucky! I wonder if you have many candy and pastry coupons here, Grandpa?"
"My daughter especially loves eating these things."
Upon hearing this, the old man waved his hand generously and said confidently, "Don't worry, I don't need these tickets. They're more than enough for the children to eat."
Xie Yan smiled even more broadly, "Grandpa, your physical condition is very good now. That bullet is already connected to your flesh and blood, so it won't cause too much harm to your body at the moment."
"I'll prescribe a few doses of medicine for you first. Please take them on time." With that, he picked up a pen and paper and began to write the prescription, explaining as he wrote, "After you finish these three doses, you can regulate your body through diet and won't need to take any more medicine."
After writing the prescription, he then wrote down five lists of dietary supplements, carefully marking the order on each list. "Eat the dietary supplements on each list for one month, and after finishing them, your physical condition should be almost back to normal."
Zhang Cehan took the order and looked at it carefully several times, but he was still a little uneasy.
After all, he had seen others take supplements for several years, so why did Xie Yan stop taking them after only a few months?
Thinking this, he voiced his doubts.
Xie Yan smiled and patiently explained, "As I said, Grandpa's health is very good."
"Our bodies have automatic repair functions, especially since Grandpa insists on exercising every day, his body's repair ability is much better than that of ordinary people."
"So there's no need to take supplements for so long. Besides, I've heard you mention Grandpa's previous diet, which was already very well-balanced in terms of nutrition. There's absolutely no need for excessive supplementation."
Zhang Cehan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
Finally, Xie Yan not only enjoyed a delicious dinner at Zhang's house, but was also forced to accept a large number of tickets when he left.
When he walked out of the family compound, he was still feeling a little smug.
I'm so happy, so incredibly happy.
He knew in his heart that a family like the Zhang family would definitely not be stingy, but he really didn't expect them to give so much.
Thinking about that box full of all sorts of tickets, Xie Yan still can't quite believe it.
After all, the clothes that Grandpa Zhang usually wore were patched, so who would have thought that he had so many cloth coupons hidden away?
If Xie Yan hadn't insisted on refusing, the old man probably would have given him all the cloth ration coupons.
Zhang Cehan looked at Xie Yan, who was in a daze, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Xie Yan turned her head, pretending to be angry as she glared at him, "What are you laughing at?"
Zhang Cehan's smile faded, and he looked at Xie Yan with a serious expression. He said earnestly, "Don't think that those votes were too many. For us, my grandfather's health is the most important thing."
“As long as it can relieve him of that pain, these receipts are nothing, they are completely worth it.”
Xie Yan raised an eyebrow and asked half-jokingly, "Aren't you afraid that I'm lying and that those medicines won't work?"
Zhang Cehan laughed again, "You were introduced by Gu Bin, so even if I can't find you, can't I find Gu Bin?"
Xie Yan covered her face helplessly. Thinking about it, it made sense. Luckily, she wasn't a liar, otherwise Gu Bin would have been in trouble.
After taking the medicine prescribed by Xie Yan for several doses, Mr. Zhang clearly felt a change in his body.
My body, which used to feel somewhat heavy, has recently become lighter, as if I've suddenly become decades younger, and I feel refreshed.
After truly feeling the changes in his body, Old Master Zhang praised Xie Yan's medical skills highly and recommended him directly to his other old comrades.
This made the thank-you banquet schedule even more packed, taking up a lot of the time that was originally planned for cleaning the house.
Fortunately, there was Gu Bin, who had nothing better to do and spent his days wandering around.
Gu Bin proved invaluable, becoming the main force behind Xie Yan's house renovation.
That day, Xie Yan returned home after finishing her work. As soon as she entered the house, she saw Gu Bin, who was so exhausted that he was slumped on the steps under the eaves, resting.
Gu Bin's hair was a little messy, and his forehead was covered in sweat. Despite the cold weather, he had taken off his cotton coat and was sitting there wearing only a sweater.
Before Xie Yan could speak, Gu Bin raised his head and looked at Xie Yan with a very resentful gaze, a gaze even more mournful than that of a concubine who had spent ten years in the cold palace.
Xie Yan was startled by that look and quickly said, "Please have a meal. I'll treat you to a big meal today."
Turning to Zhang Linghui, who was supervising the work and covering her mouth to chuckle, she said, "Linghui, remember to bring Tongtong's food. We're going to have a big meal now."
They had previously agreed to have a nice meal at a state-run restaurant when they had time, but unfortunately they were too busy and hadn't been able to make it happen.
This is a perfect opportunity.
