Chapter 97 Meeting the In-Laws



"In-laws?" Gu Dahua immediately responded, "Hello, you must be Comrade Lao Jiang."

Jiang Jian didn't expect that the other party actually knew him.

"Yes, Comrade Lao Gu."

Gu Dahua introduced, "This is my lover, Comrade Zhang Huiyun."

After greeting each other, they immediately looked at Qiao Yongkang lying on the hospital bed.

"Like...really too similar."

Zhang Huiyun excitedly held Qiao Yongkang's hand and said, "Yongkang, I'm your mother. I can finally see you."

She wanted to hug Qiao Yongkang, but felt it was a bit awkward.

"Mom." Qiao Yongkang shouted.

He never thought that one day he would be able to meet his biological parents.

Zhang Huiyun wiped away her tears and said, "On the way here, I was so worried that I was afraid you wouldn't be able to be saved. Now that I see that you are in good spirits, I feel much more relieved."

"Mom, I made you worry."

Gu Dahua just watched and didn't find a chance to speak. "Well, you've seen your youngest son, it should be a happy thing, why are you crying?"

Zhang Huiyun denied it, "I wasn't crying, I was just happy."

"Yongkang, how are you?" Gu Dahua asked.

Qiao Yongkang was a little uncomfortable with his family's concern. "Dad, I'm fine. It's just the wound. It still hurts a little."

"Well, it takes time for the wound to heal."

Qiao Yongkang nodded, "Yes, I know."

At this time, the nurse came in and said, "Don't gather in a group. This will disturb the patient's rest."

Jiang Jian immediately said, "Then I'll go and rest first. We'll have a good chat when we have time, Lao Gu."

"Okay, Lao Jiang, I'll see you off."

"Need not!"

"Dad, shall I take you to a guesthouse first?" Jiang Yao asked.

Jiang Jian waved his hand, "No, you're still injured, you don't need to send me off."

"But I have to go to Teacher Huang's house and borrow the kitchen to make some egg custard for Yongkang to supplement his nutrition."

"No need to go to all that trouble. You're injured, and you're going to bother Teacher Huang." Qiao Yongkang refused. "Just eat in the cafeteria anyway."

"But the food in the cafeteria isn't very tasty. It's fine with us, but you, as a patient, can't eat unnutritious food. I'll just borrow the kitchen this time."

Zhang Huiyun suggested, "Let me go. I'll go with you and cook something for Yongkang."

After that, she took Jiang Yao's hand and said, "Yaoyao, right? Just tell me where to buy groceries, and I'll go there myself."

Jiang Yao shook her head. "I'll send my dad over first, then I'll take you to the supply and marketing cooperative."

"OK!"

"Mom, I'm going to buy some brown sugar and red dates to send to my colleague's house."

"Yes, during the Spring Festival, it's time to bring gifts. If I had known earlier, I would have given them the roast duck I brought back from Beijing."

"Um."

Jiang Yao took Zhang Huiyun to Teacher Huang's house.

"Teacher Jiang Yao, you're here, so why don't you bring any gifts?"

Jiang Yao explained her purpose, "I'm worried Yongkang isn't eating well in the hospital, so I had no choice but to come and bother you."

"What's the problem? We're all colleagues. Just come over next time, but don't bring any gifts."

Jiang Yao originally wanted to help, but Zhang Huiyun assigned her to start the fire.

Zhang Huiyun stewed two bowls of egg custard, cooked a little bit of lean meat porridge, and cooked a vegetable.

"Yaoyao, you're injured too, you should eat a little too."

"No, Mom."

Zhang Huiyun deliberately frowned, "Why not? You are my daughter-in-law, and we in the Gu family are all very caring."

"Then I thank you, Mom."

Jiang Yao was a little nervous at first, thinking that Qiao Yongkang's parents were from Beijing and might not be easy to get along with, but she didn't expect that they were both very easy-going.

After the fever recovered, Teacher Huang insisted on going to the hospital with them.

"Teacher Huang, if I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come and made you spend money."

Teacher Huang rolled her eyes at Jiang Yao. "How could it be a waste? You always take care of us. Whenever you find nice clothes, you always give them to us at full price."

"Okay! Let's go."

When they came back, Uncle Qiao and Uncle Qiao were both in the ward.

"Grandpa, you're here too."

Qiao agreed and glanced at Qiao Yongkang, with a hint of worry in his eyes, "Of course, I have to come over to see Yongkang before I go to bed at night, so that I can sleep peacefully."

Jiang Yao asked, "Have you eaten yet? I'll go get some food from the cafeteria."

"Your brother has gone to get food." Gu Dahua replied.

"Oh, Qiao Yongkang, then you eat first."

"You two eat first."

Teacher Huang put a bag of malted milk on the cabinet and said, "Comrade Qiao, take good care of your health."

"Teacher Huang, you're so thoughtful." Qiao Yongkang expressed his gratitude. "Thank you for coming to see me. I just told Yaoyao not to bother you. Look how much it cost you."

"Don't be polite! We are supposed to help each other."

"Then you guys eat first, I won't disturb you for now."

Teacher Huang was about to walk out the door when he bumped into Gu Chenxin. "Ouch."

She raised her head and was about to glare at Gu Chenxin.

The next moment, her eyes widened.

“How could it be…”

"Yaoyao, why does he look so much like Comrade Qiao?"

Jiang Yao explained, "It's my fault for not explaining it to you clearly just now."

"So they're twins." Teacher Huang nodded towards Gu Chenxin, "Sorry, I bumped into you."

"It's okay, I left too fast." Gu Chenxin asked, "Do you want to stay and eat with us?"

"No, I'll go home and eat."

Teacher Huang walked to the door and did not forget to turn around and say, "Yaoyao, if you need to use the kitchen, you can come over anytime. Don't be polite to me."

"Okay, Mr. Huang."

After dinner, Gu Dahai, Zhang Huiyun, Uncle Qiao and Uncle Qiao went to the guesthouse to rest together.

"Brother, why don't you go and rest with me? I'll take care of Yongkang at night."

"You two go to the guesthouse, I can do it alone." Qiao Yongkang saw that there was a little black around Jiang Yao's eyes, and he couldn't bear to see her continue to stay up late.

"Yaoyao, be obedient."

"No, if I stayed in a guesthouse, I wouldn't be able to sleep."

"But……"

Jiang Yao interrupted immediately, "There's no buts. You should convince me."

Gu Chenxin immediately refused, "Yongkang, you don't have to persuade me, I won't go either. I will continue to sleep here tonight."

Jiang Yao hadn't expected that after Teacher Huang returned, he would bring over a reclining chair. "I thought it might be useful to you while you're taking care of Comrade Qiao tonight. It's not as comfortable as a bed, but it's better than this bench."

"Teacher Huang, you are providing timely help."

Teacher Huang rolled his eyes at Jiang Yao and said, "I have a purpose."

"Ah...what's your purpose?"

"Let's go! Let's talk outside."

After leading Jiang Yao to the corridor, Teacher Huang said, "I've taken a liking to your husband's eldest brother. Can you help me find him?"

"What!"
