In the courtyard, Shao Mo noticed that Huang Zhiqiu was in a bad mood after talking to her father, so she stepped forward and asked with concern: "Mom, are you tired? Do you want to take a rest?"

Huang Zhiqiu looked at her and nodded, "Okay."

After Huang Zhiqiu fell asleep, Shao Mo returned to her room and called Shao Lin on her mobile phone.

"Dad, have you arrived at the company?"

"Almost. Where's your mom?"

"She's asleep."

"oh."

Hearing that Shao Lin's tone was not right, Shao Mo thought for a moment and asked, "What did you say to Mom? She didn't seem very happy."

"I didn't say anything. I just said she didn't take care of her body, and she got angry and turned me down."

Hearing Shao Lin's aggrieved tone, Shao Mo barely managed to hold back laughter.

"Dad, you've known my mom for twenty years, but you still don't understand her character."

"I care about her too. Am I wrong?"

"Dad, a smart man won't reason with a woman."

What else can we talk about if we don't talk about reason? Could it be about feelings? He thought.

"You have to go along with her and coax her. My mom is a soft-hearted person with a strong heart. The more you go along with her wishes, the gentler she will be."

Shao Lin thought about it and realized that was right. He was really going backwards as he got older.

Huang Zhiqiu was used to getting up early, so she got up at dawn the next day, but she didn't expect Shao Lin to be there earlier than her and was already sitting at the dining table eating breakfast.

Seeing her, Shao Lin greeted her cheerfully as if nothing had happened.

"Good morning, Zhiqiu."

"Yeah, morning."

Seeing Huang Zhiqiu sitting down, Shao Lin hurriedly said, "You can't eat breakfast. You have to fast for the examination. But you can eat after the examination. Just bear with it."

Keeping in mind the lesson of yesterday, Shao Lin's tone was particularly gentle, and his face was smiling like a flower, causing Huang Zhiqiu to look at him strangely.

"I know. Momo told me."

"That's good. I was afraid you'd forget. Wait for me for a moment. I'll take you to the hospital after I finish eating."

"No need, Momo and I will go."

"Momo has to go to class, and then go to the company for a meeting. She is very busy."

"Aren't you busy?"

"I'm the boss, of course I'm not busy. I can take a day off whenever I want."

In fact, someone worked overtime like a dog last night in order to have half a day free this morning.

Knowing that his daughter was busy and couldn't send him off, Huang Zhiqiu had no choice but to go out with Shao Lin.

Fortunately, Huang Zhiqiu is basically in good health. The cough is caused by chronic bronchitis, which is difficult to cure. The doctor recommends taking Chinese medicine for conditioning, and at the same time, he should pay attention to more rest and less work, and quit smoking, drinking and staying up late.

After getting the medicine, Shao Lin sent Huang Zhiqiu back to the courtyard.

"It's a rare trip to the capital, why not stay for a few more days?"

"No, the factory's orders are pressing."

"It won't help if you go back. Why not hire a few more employees to help you share the burden? You heard what the doctor said just now. Don't overwork yourself. Get more rest. Don't stay up late. You get off work so late every day. It must be 11 o'clock when you wash up and go to bed. You got sick because of overwork. No matter how much money you make, it's useless if you don't have a good body..."

As he spoke, his tone turned into a lecturing one. Fortunately, Shao Lin braked in time.

"Zhiqiu, Momo and I are very worried about you. You don't know that the doctor told me the other day that it might worsen into lung cancer. I haven't been eating or sleeping well these past few days, fearing that something might be wrong with you."

Seeing Shao Lin's eyes were red, Huang Zhiqiu felt embarrassed.

"I'm fine. I'll take good care of myself when I get back."

"The doctor said that you should come back for a follow-up visit after you finish taking these medicines. I will then help you arrange a flight over."

Huang Zhiqiu nodded, "How much is the ticket?"

"Zhiqiu, do we have to be so clear about the difference between us? Then next time I go to your house for a meal, do I have to pay for it?"

“This is different.”

"It's no different. If you talk about money again, I'll get angry."

Huang Zhiqiu was a little stunned.

Shao Lin quickly softened his tone, "Why don't you help me weave a few bamboo objects?"

Hearing Shao Lin's words, Huang Zhiqiu subconsciously asked, "What bamboo implements?"

Shao Lin just had the idea on impulse, and couldn't think of what he needed for a moment, so he said: "Just make something you are good at, a vegetable basket or something, anyway, it will be needed at home. My mother wanted to see you, but you were in a hurry to leave, so we can only wait until next time."

"good."

Huang Zhiqiu was actually somewhat resistant to the idea of ​​meeting Shao Lin's mother. After all, she and Shao Lin got pregnant before marriage. Mrs. Shao came from a prominent family and would definitely look down on her background, let alone her behavior. She didn't want to bring humiliation upon herself.

But then she thought that she was her daughter's grandmother after all, and loved and cared for her daughter, so she took the initiative to visit her for both emotional and logical reasons.

As they were almost at the airport, Shao Lin finally couldn't help but ask about Chen Bin.

"I heard from Momo that Chen Bin is very capable and considerate. If you can trust him, you can let him handle all the factory work in the future. You should rest more and take good care of your health."

"Chen Bin is very capable and good at dealing with people. If he encounters a difficult client, he will definitely be able to handle it once he shows up."

Shao Lin couldn't help feeling jealous when he heard Huang Zhiqiu's high praise for Chen Bin.

"I heard that he is still unmarried? He is so young and promising, it shouldn't be that he can't find a wife."

When mentioning this, Huang Zhiqiu felt a little uncomfortable.

She was not stupid, and it was impossible for Chen Bin to be unaware of her feelings. It was just that Chen Bin had never expressed his opinion, so she pretended not to know.

"I'm not sure, maybe I just haven't met the right one yet."

Huang Zhiqiu's reaction came into Shao Lin's view and he interpreted it in a different way.

This guy named Chen is young, has some skills, and is good at speaking. He and Huang Zhiqiu spend every day together in the factory. It is possible that they will fall in love with each other one day.

No, he objects!

Even if Huang Zhiqiu marries again, he cannot marry someone so young. She is too unreliable. At least she has to be about the same age as him, so that she will be steady and down-to-earth.

Thinking of this, Shao Lin couldn't help but say, "Zhiqiu, it may not be my turn to say some things, but I treat you as my own, so I want to say a few words even if I shouldn't."

Huang Zhiqiu looked at him with some confusion, "What's the matter?"

"You are indeed not young anymore, and it is time for you to consider personal relationships and marriage. But I hope you can be more selective and not make a decision blindly by just finding someone to settle down with in order to reassure your family."

Huang Zhiqiu didn't expect him to say this. After a moment of silence, he nodded slightly.

"Yes, I know. Thank you for your concern."

Seeing that Huang Zhiqiu didn't seem angry, Shao Lin opened his mouth to say something else, but the car stopped at this moment.

Huang Zhiqiu looked out the window and said with a smile, "I'm here, please take me home."

"I'll take you in."

"No, just go and do your thing."

Shao Lin looked at the time on his wrist and realized it was time to go back to the company. He could only watch with regret as Huang Zhiqiu walked into the alley carrying the medicine bag.

The driver was also alert and waited until Huang Zhiqiu could no longer be seen before slowly starting the car and leaving.
