Tang Yulin was extremely busy. He went straight to work after leaving the Tang family that day, and didn't return to the old house until after 10 p.m. last night.
When he returned, he asked the guard. When the guard said the old man had gone to sleep, Tang Yulin had thought that the old man's previous medical records indicated poor sleep. He hadn't expected him to be asleep so early today.
Something was definitely amiss. Tang Yulin thought of the tea he had given his grandfather before; his grandfather was someone who couldn't control his tongue. And there was no one here who could control him.
Tang Yulin was very worried that something might have happened to the old man.
Although he had prepared himself for the possibility that the old man might leave at any time, Tang Yulin still felt somewhat sad when the day actually arrived.
Tang Yulin grew up in his grandfather's old house. Unlike his older brothers, who grew up with their parents in the Southern Military Region, this was his true home.
As he thought about all the little moments he had spent with his grandfather since childhood, Tang Yulin's eyes reddened.
Because he was worried that something might happen to the old man in his room, his room wasn't locked from the inside. Tang Yulin pushed open the door and went in, hoping that his grandfather could open his eyes and see him one last time.
Seeing his grandfather lying there so peacefully, Tang Yulin could no longer hold back his tears.
Who knew that the next second, they heard the old man say "Heh heh" and then start smacking his lips.
He kept muttering, "Tang Laosan, hurry up and get me the wine!"
Tang Yulin was stunned for a moment, then looked at the old man who was still talking about his hidden wine while sleeping, with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.
Afraid of disturbing his sleep, Tang Yulin left the old man's room.
Back in his room, Tang Yulin couldn't help but laugh as he thought about the stupid thing he had just done.
That's wonderful, Grandpa is still alive.
That's exactly what Tang Yulin thought at the time. Now it seems the old man was indeed acting strangely. He used to be a very light sleeper. And as a veteran, he was usually quite cautious. He wouldn't be like this now, going inside without anyone noticing.
Now, after hearing Nan Qu's words and seeing the old man's guilty expression, Tang Yulin understood everything.
"Miss Qu, can you tell me what happened?"
Qu Qi said somewhat flusteredly, "She's talking nonsense. I didn't use any 'Thirteen Ghost Needles,' it was clearly a secret technique from our sect. Besides, this kind of acupuncture and medicine doesn't cure illnesses, and you can cure illnesses just by drinking a cup of tea? You're trying to fool a ghost!"
Nan Qu watched as the person continued to act unreasonably and was too lazy to pay attention to her.
However, Su Ruoyan, who was standing next to him, said, "As far as I know, Master Qu Guang has two disciples. One disciple is named Qu Qi, and the other disciple is named Qu Ting. The eldest disciple is the eldest daughter of the Qu family. Because the Qu family once saved Master Qu Guang, they begged Master Qu Guang to accept their eldest granddaughter, Qu Qi, as their disciple."
Qu Ting, on the other hand, was an orphan taken in by Master Qu Guang. Therefore, he took Master Qu Guang's surname.
Rumors circulate that Master Qu Guang's two disciples are exceptionally intelligent and have inherited his medical skills perfectly. However, in reality, it was the younger disciple, Qu Ting, not the elder disciple, Qu Qi, who truly mastered the art.
Qu Qi was terrified when she was exposed: "You're talking nonsense. What nonsense! My master only has me as his disciple. He has never had any other disciples!"
Old Master Tang, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke: "Although your later treatment was indeed unsatisfactory, you did pull me back from the brink of death. The Tang family will remember this kindness. If the Qu family ever needs the Tang family's help in the future, the Tang family will lend a hand."
Miss Qu, it's the Lunar New Year, and we have relatives with us. We apologize for any inconvenience caused. Xiao Zhou, see them out.
After Qu Qi left, Old Master Tang perked up again: "I was thinking that this girl's persistent pestering would subdue San'er. Now it seems that harmony in the family is essential for everything to prosper, and marrying a troublemaker is also a problem."
Let's not talk about unhappy things. Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. San'er, hurry up and give me the red envelopes!
Tang Yulin stood there and said, "We haven't even paid New Year's visits yet, why should we give you anything?"
The old man immediately swung his stick at him: "Enough with the nonsense! Don't you know that when you come to pay New Year's visits, you'll have something at home? Hurry up!"
Because of the old man's strong insistence, the four people who were originally going home for lunch were left at the Tang family's house.
Not only that, the old man also sent his bodyguards to the Su family to summon Su Ruisheng and Lin Yaqing as well.
When Su Ruisheng was just a lowly soldier, the old man was already a high-ranking officer in the army. He did have the opportunity to interact with the old man's son, Tang Yulin's father, a few times. However, since they weren't in the same unit, they didn't meet very often.
He was already flattered that Tang Yulin had the audacity to freeload food, drinks, and take leftovers home that day.
Unexpectedly, the old man invited them to his house for dinner on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
When did they become so close? How come he didn't know?
Not to mention Su Ruisheng, even Lin Yaqing was extremely nervous.
When they heard they were coming here, they didn't dare go empty-handed like Su Ruoyan's family. But the most presentable gift among their New Year's presents was the jade pendant given by Nanqu.
But they were worried that if they took this, people would say it was a bribe.
They worried that the old man wouldn't be able to drink if they brought wine. After much deliberation, they finally decided to bring the jade pendant along with some other gifts. If the amount of money received in the red envelope was large, they would give the jade pendant as a gift.
If it's small, just let the Tang family know about the jade pendant; if they want it, then give it to them. Just don't make it seem like they're being too pushy.
Su Ruisheng and Lin Yaqing were carrying things, and even Su Ruisheng's bodyguard, Xiao Zhou, who came to call for help, was carrying things.
Lin Yaqing had already prepared lunch and was planning to wait for them to come back to eat, but they weren't coming back, and they were going out anyway.
Since we've already done all this, we can't just leave it uneaten. So we decided to pack it all up and send it over.
As soon as Su Ruoli entered the door, she saw her parents carrying large and small bags.
He didn't wake up until nine in the morning, and it was around this time by the time he finished washing up and came over from the lab.
Of their entire family, only this guy, who was holed up in the lab, knew nothing about Su Ruohe.
Of course, I don't have time to talk to him about that right now.
Seeing Su Ruoli return, Lin Yaqing immediately said, "Come and take this. I'll go back and get something else. I'll be right back."
Su Ruoli only realized what was happening when her hands were stuffed full: "Dad, where are you going?"
Su Ruisheng is still very excited.
That's his idol. To be able to have dinner with his idol, especially on such a meaningful first day of the Lunar New Year!
"We're going to Grandpa Tang's place. The third brother has already gone there. The old commander wants us to come over and eat together."
The most authoritative old man in this compound actually invited them to dinner together.
"Could it be that my sister-in-law's cooking made Uncle Tang worry about the next meal after eating one meal?"
Hearing Su Ruoli say this, Su Ruisheng's eyes widened: "That's possible!"
