Because of Shen Huijuan's appearance, Yuan Jing asked someone about the current situation of the Zheng family. The result he got made him smile sarcastically.
After Zheng Dali suffered a stroke, of course he had to receive treatment. Zheng Lao Da, who was originally a filial son, couldn't help but feel resentful because the medical expenses were increasing. In addition, Shen Huijuan had never worked and was supported by Zheng's father, and she had two younger brothers and sisters who were still in school. The Zheng family's expenses were not small. After a long time, conflicts broke out.
Originally, Zheng Dali had public medical care, but later on, what he had done was exposed. He was not arrested because of his current physical condition, but his position was abolished and he was no longer eligible for public medical care. Not to mention that Zheng Lao Da's wife did not want to endure it, Zheng Lao Da himself did not want to carry such a heavy burden.
So Zheng Dali was taken back from the sanatorium. However, because his two younger brothers and sisters did not have the same mother, he was unwilling to support them, so he kicked them out and made them live in the Zheng family's original house. He felt that he had given them enough face by not kicking them out to sleep on the streets. If it was up to his wife, he would not even give them the house.
What could Shen Huijuan do? She had to grit her teeth and find manual labor to earn some money to support her two children, but she could no longer support herself, so she turned her attention to Ji Yuanjing.
Yuan Jing laughed. His biological father and older brother with the same father didn't raise him, so how could he, his half-brother, raise him? Did he really think he was easy to bully?
In the past, the original body did fulfill all requests from Shen Huijuan, the mother, but I believe that even if the original body came in person, she would not agree.
After knowing these circumstances, Yuan Jing turned around and left it alone without telling Ji's father. As long as Shen Huijuan stopped bothering him, there was no need to make Ji's father worry and get angry.
In fact, he didn't know that Ji's father had similar ideas as he did. He was also very clear about the fate of the Zheng family, but he was afraid that his son would be soft-hearted towards his own mother, so he hid it from his son.
The new drug passed the clinical trials and was quickly put into production and launched on the market. In addition to receiving honors, Yuan Jing's income also increased, but this income was still too little for what he wanted to do, so he continued to invest in the development of new drugs. One after another, Chinese patent medicines that were beneficial to people's livelihood were put on the market and became familiar to the people. Not only that, the hemostatic agents and other Chinese patent medicines he and his master developed attracted the attention of the army, so the master and apprentice directly handed over the prescriptions and let their superiors take care of how to produce them.
Because of this incident, the higher-ups gave Yuan Jing the green light for whatever he wanted to do, as long as he didn't make any mistakes in principle.
In 1985, Yuanjing's new pharmaceutical factory was built, and it invested in setting up several medicinal material planting bases. When the higher-ups learned that Yuanjing would take the lead in arranging disabled veterans in the pharmaceutical factory and medicinal material planting bases, they generously approved a lot of land, completed all the procedures, and sent it to Yuanjing.
In 1985, Jiang Qingshan finally returned from the border. He was promoted from battalion commander to regiment commander and transferred to the Beijing Military Region.
Although Jiang Qingshan was anxious to reunite with Yuan Jing, he had been unable to leave in the past few years, so Yuan Jing had taken the time to visit him twice, both as an expert in guiding the field hospital. But before going to the capital, he still went back home first. This time he wanted to bring his mother to live with him in the capital. His mother was getting older, and he was worried about her staying in the countryside.
This time Niu Guilan packed her luggage and left with her son without saying a word. Her son was not in the capital before, so how could she go there? Wouldn't it cause trouble for others? Now that her son was transferred to the capital, she could also go with him to enjoy the good life.
The villagers of the former Red Star Production Team, now Laixi Village, were envious of Niu Guilan. Although Niu Guilan was a widow who raised her son, and she only had this one son, he was worth more than seven or eight people. Look, now Jiang Qingshan has become the head of the group. What is the rank of a head of the group? They couldn't explain it clearly, but it was a very high official anyway.
Laixi Village itself has good climate and soil conditions, and the herbal medicine resources in the mountains are also very rich. So after setting up the stall, Yuan Jing also sent people to Laixi Village to discuss the planting of medicinal herbs to support Laixi Village. Although Yuan Jing did not come this time, the villagers who saw Jiang Qingshan off all told him and Niu Guilan to thank Ji Yuanjing on behalf of the villagers when they saw him.
They also didn't expect that Yuan Jing had been working in the village for several years and still cared about them after leaving. This time he was helping Laixi Village develop side businesses and get rich.
Jiang Qingshan felt very proud after hearing this, this was the person he liked, the person he liked was so outstanding.
***
Father Ji has lived a very comfortable life in recent years. His son is very successful. All his old friends and colleagues praise his son. If there is anything that worries him, it is only one thing, which is his son's lifelong affairs.
In fact, there were many people who wanted to introduce a girl to his son and act as a matchmaker, including neighbors and people at work. Mr. Zhang also mentioned that there were many people pursuing his son in Yuan Jing's hospital, and even the dean wanted to be a matchmaker for his son. Unfortunately, his son rejected them all as he was so busy that he didn't even have time for blind dates.
Seeing that his son is almost 30 years old, although he looks no different from a young man in his early twenties, his son is still single. Father Ji can't help but feel a little anxious. Wanting to have a grandson is one thing, but he doesn't want his son to be alone like him in the future, without even a companion.
Even though he lost his wife, at least he still has a filial son, but his son is even worse than him.
That day Yuan Jing went home to have dinner with his old father. The family hired a nanny to help with cooking and cleaning.
After dinner, Ji's father couldn't help but nag when he got the chance, saying that he was almost thirty years old, and all the good girls had been picked up by other young men, so his son should stop being so picky, otherwise, did he really want to be a bachelor for the rest of his life?
Yuan Jing paused as he was holding the teacup. He had engaged Jiang Qingshan when they were at the front line, but had not yet found the opportunity to announce it to the elders on both sides. Neither of them had thought of keeping it a secret for the rest of their lives, and they had discussed the matter in their correspondence. If the elders on both sides were worried that they would have no children, Jiang Qingshan mentioned the children left by their comrades who died on the battlefield, and Yuan Jing was quite moved.
It is impossible for the two of them to have children, so adopting a few children would, on the one hand, relieve the old couple of their worries, and on the other hand, allow them to play with their grandchildren and enjoy the happiness of family.
After several years of correspondence and getting along with each other, Yuan Jing truly respected and loved Ji's father as his own. He could also feel the deep fatherly love from Ji's father, so he was unwilling to deceive or fool Ji's father.
"Dad, I was just about to tell you about this. Dad, what do you think about me adopting a few children of soldiers who died on the battlefield?"
Huh? Father Ji was stunned. Weren't they talking about dating and getting married? How did they jump to adopting a child? Where's the child's mother?
"Are you going to raise the child alone? Why don't you find a mother for the child?" Ji's father was not so narrow-minded as to stop his son from adopting a child. Their family was not short of money now, and the place at home was big enough, so it would be perfect to have a few children running around. If the child was really adopted, he would be preparing to retire and come back to teach his grandchildren.
"Ahem," Yuan Jing coughed uncomfortably and whispered, "What do you think of Qingshan being a mother?"
With a "bang", the cup fell on the table, but fortunately it didn't fall to the ground and break. Father Ji suspected that he had heard it wrongly and confirmed: "Who did you say the child's mother is?"
"Dad, you heard it right, it's Jiang Qingshan. We have discussed it and decided to adopt a few children together and give them a home. It doesn't matter who is the father and who is the mother." Yuan Jing dropped a bomb out of the blue.
"Nonsense!" Ji's father slammed the table, but unfortunately he had no beard to blow, "You are just playing house."
But another possibility vaguely emerged in his mind, and he subconsciously wanted to avoid it.
"Dad, we are not fooling around, really. I've thought about it. In the future, Qingshan and I will honor you and Aunt Guilan together. Your daughter-in-law is not as delicate as other daughters-in-law, but a tough guy. You know Qingshan, except for not being able to have children, he can do everything. Many of the vests and clothes that you received on the farm were sewn by Qingshan, and he can also sew shoe soles." Yuan Jing squatted beside his father with a thick skin, pulled his father's arm and said, "Let's sell his not-so-tender skin."
"Ahem," Ji's father coughed suddenly. He couldn't imagine a tall man sitting under the lamp mending clothes and sewing shoe soles. If you want to say whether Jiang Qingshan is good or not, he can't say no. No matter how picky he is, he can't find any faults, except that he has always made people worried in the front line in recent years. No, that's not what he wants to say. "You two grown men, what kind of words are you talking about?"
"Dad," Yuan Jing looked at his father eagerly, "I found that I haven't been attracted to a woman in all these years. Dad, do you think there's something wrong with me?"
Father Ji's hands trembled. Oh my god, how could he bear to blame his son now? It must be Xiao Jiang who led his son astray. How old was his son when he went to the countryside?
Father Ji quickly comforted his son: "It's okay, Dad is here, if you don't want to marry a wife, then don't marry. If you want Jiang Qingshan to be your wife, that's fine, let him marry into our Ji family."
Yuan Jing threw himself into Ji's father's arms and laughed. He was actually relying on Ji's father's love for him, so he was so unscrupulous. In fact, he was still unfilial: "Dad, it's the son who is unfilial."
"No, who dares to say that my son is unfilial? Dad knows about emotional matters. You can't force it. Just look at Dad and you'll know." Because of what happened to him and his ex-wife, Ji's father didn't force his son on emotional matters. He just feared that his son would be lonely. Now it seems that having Xiao Jiang's company is not a bad result. He still has faith in Jiang Qingshan's character.
But just kidnapping his son like that? No way!
On the other hand, Aunt Guilan was also worried about her son's marriage. He was over 30, so why didn't he find a wife? She knew her son had become a regiment leader and would return to his hometown to take her to live in the capital. Matchmakers came to her house for several days in a row, and they were talking about girls from either her village or nearby villages, no, there were also girls from the town and the county. But she dared not accept their offer until her son came back.
This time, she was taken to the capital after only two days, and the marriage plan was delayed. On the train, Aunt Guilan couldn't help but keep asking when she would be able to hold her grandchildren.
"Mom, don't worry. Look at these photos. They are all your grandchildren. Once we settle down in Beijing, I will go and bring them back so they can accompany you."
Niu Guilan has been in better spirits in recent years. She took the photo and asked, "What does this mean? Are they all my grandchildren?"
Jiang Qingshan told about the family situations of these children. Their fathers had died on the battlefield, and their mothers had either remarried or passed away due to an accident. Although they had other relatives, their situations were not very good. Jiang Qingshan wrote a letter and asked someone to conduct a careful investigation before deciding to adopt these children.
Niu Guilan felt heartbroken when she heard about the situation of these children. Her son came back alive from the battlefield, and she couldn't imagine whether she could bear the blow if her son died. Putting herself in other people's shoes, she felt extremely heartbroken for these children who lost their fathers.
She only knew the result when she knew her son was at the border. The most intense and fierce time of the war had already passed. She also knew that her son had been seriously injured once and was rescued by Xiao Ji. Xiao Ji was truly her son's benefactor, having saved him twice.
"But will your future daughter-in-law agree?" Niu Guilan had no problem at all. Otherwise, she should take her grandchildren back to her hometown to live so as not to affect the small family of her son and future daughter-in-law.
Jiang Qingshan coughed lightly, his face slightly reddened, but his face was darker than before, and the redness of shyness could not be seen: "I discussed it with him, Mom, I pursued him for several years before he agreed."
"Really? Does mom recognize him?" Niu Guilan asked in surprise.
"Mom, you know him. He saved my son's life." Jiang Qingshan looked at his mother eagerly.
Niu Guilan frowned and asked in confusion: "Besides Xiao Ji, who else saved your life? The doctor who was with Xiao Ji?"
"Mom, it's Yuan Jing." Jiang Qingshan couldn't help but tell the truth. He originally planned to wait until he got to Beijing to slowly talk to his mother about it, but the words came to his lips on the train.
It took Niu Guilan a long time to react to what was going on. There was no one else in the box, so she slapped her thigh immediately and said, "What's wrong with you? You didn't force Xiao Ji to be the doctor, did you? You didn't... have inappropriate thoughts just because Xiao Ji was pretty?"
Niu Guilan thought of Ji Yuanjing's face, which was prettier than any other girl in the village. She wondered if her son was treating Xiao Ji like a girl and had some inappropriate thoughts. She slapped her son and said, "Xiao Ji saved your life. How could you delay Xiao Ji like this? No, Mom will accompany you to the capital to apologize to Xiao Ji."
Jiang Qingshan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and let him beat and scold him: "Mom, please be gentle, I didn't force Yuan Jing, I pursued him for several years and got Yuan Jing's consent before we were together, and I also discussed the adoption of the child with Yuan Jing."
Niu Guilan was still a little angry. She couldn't understand why Xiao Ji would fall in love with a big and strong man like her son. She felt sorry for Xiao Ji and said with a stern face, "When I get to Beijing, I will ask Xiao Ji in person. Oh, and what about Xiao Ji's father? You can't say anything if his father disagrees."
"Okay, I'll listen to you, Mom." Jiang Qingshan replied happily. Wife, he is finally back.
At the train station, Yuan Jing personally drove to pick up Jiang Qingshan and his son. At the exit, Jiang Qingshan saw Ji Yuanjing in the crowd at a glance. No matter where he was, he was always the most eye-catching one in the crowd.
Following her son's gaze, Niu Guilan also saw it and sighed that Xiao Ji was getting more and more handsome. Then she looked back at her son's charcoal-black face and felt that Xiao Ji must be blind to fall for her son. She felt guilty for some reason.
"Aunt, Qingshan, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time." Yuan Jing stretched out his hand to help Niu Guilan carry the luggage. Niu Guilan, feeling guilty, said no, but she could not snatch it from Yuan Jing. Yuan Jing smiled at Jiang Qingshan, and the two of them supported Niu Guilan on the left and right and walked out.
Niu Guilan looked left and right. If this really worked out, although she was not the daughter-in-law she had hoped for, she inexplicably felt that the two children had a great understanding of each other.
"Xiao Ji, you must have waited for a long time. Thank you for your hard work."
"No, we didn't wait long. No matter how hard it is, it's not as hard as you taking such a long train ride. Let's go home first. Auntie at home has prepared dinner and is waiting for us to return."
"Hey, hey, I'll listen to you, Xiao Ji." Niu Guilan felt guilty. Facing Yuan Jing, she would accept whatever he said. Besides, she was still nervous as she had just arrived in the big city.
Where Niu Guilan couldn't see, Yuan Jing made a gesture to Jiang Qingshan: You said it? From the look on my face, I know what she said.
Jiang Qingshan also replied silently: I said it, Yuan Jing, did you say it?
Yuan Jing smiled: I did say that, but it’s not as easy to pass my dad’s test as it is to pass my aunt’s.
Jiang Qingshan straightened his back nervously, looking like he was ready to go to the battlefield. Isn't this just another battlefield? Otherwise, why would Ji's father agree to let such an outstanding son spend his life with him, a rough man?
When Yuan Jing saw this, his smile became even more intense. Both elders were very reasonable and, most importantly, they loved their children very much and were reluctant to embarrass them.
In the past few years, Yuan Jing bought the courtyard house next to his house and asked Aunt Guilan to live with them. Aunt Guilan probably felt uncomfortable, but he happened to have money and a house was available next door, so he immediately bought it and renovated it, opening a door in the middle to make it very convenient for the two families to come and go, and when children come in the future, they can run around in the two courtyards.
So Yuan Jing sent them to that courtyard house, and the aunt also came from the middle door to cook here. Niu Guilan walked in. She didn't expect that she would live in such a spacious house in Beijing and live there until she was old. She didn't expect that she would really enjoy such a blessing. Her son's father didn't have this blessing.
Niu Guilan took a rest after eating and washing up. She would not do anything else until she had rested and regained enough energy. After Jiang Qingshan took a short rest, he came to Ji's father to receive training in a very obedient and honest manner.
Ji's father used to like this young man who helped his son a lot, but now he disliked him more and more. He was so dark, how could he stand with his son? But if he wanted to hit him, he couldn't stretch out his hands. If he wanted to scold him, he, a gentleman, couldn't say any rude words. In the end, he could only be angry at himself.
"What does your mother say?" He couldn't let his son suffer from this kid.
Jiang Qingshan said honestly: "She told me on the train. My mother beat and scolded me, thinking that I was not worthy of Yuan Jing."
These words made Ji's father feel a little relieved. The most important thing was that Jiang Qingshan's mother did not think that the two children were abnormal and looked at them with prejudice. Otherwise, he would have to stop it. Even if his son liked men, couldn't he find a better man than Jiang Qingshan?
"Come, make a pot of tea, and play a few more games." Father Ji started to give orders, and he was determined to make this brat run around in circles and then severely abuse him on the chessboard.
