Xu Ningyan didn't expect Professor Xing to say that, and hurriedly said, "Master, if you say that, aren't you treating me like an outsider? I am your last disciple, and my husband is your last son-in-law. A son-in-law is half a son, so why are you being so polite with your daughter and son?"
Professor Xing smiled slightly, though he seemed a little embarrassed. He glanced around and saw the book Gu Deqing had left on the table. He forced down his smile and pretended to be impatient: "Alright, alright, I know! Hurry up and go look up the information! This book is someone's family heirloom. Go and return it to him as soon as you're done!"
After saying that, he touched the book a couple of times with obvious affection, and finally handed it to Xu Ningyan, signaling her to continue working.
Xu Ningyan: No, is this job absolutely necessary for me today? Can't you give me a break earlier?
Professor Xing stood guard at the door and declared, "No way! You're not allowed to go home until this work is finished today."
With a sigh, Xu Ningyan washed her hands thoroughly, wiping them repeatedly, before carefully putting down the book that Gu Deqing had brought...
When I got home that evening, I told Jiang Zhiyuan about what happened with Gu Deqing and his grandson that day.
Jiang Zhiyuan pondered for a moment: "Leave this to me! I'll ask Old Yu when I have time. But how do you plan to ask him?"
Xu Ningyan knew that Jiang Zhiyuan was actually asking her a question. Her attitude would determine how he would talk to Old Master Yu, and it would also determine the final outcome.
After thinking for a moment, Xu Ningyan said frankly, "Although Professor Gu is being a bit unreasonable, putting me in such a difficult position in front of my master, leaving me with no choice but to agree, it is still a life at stake. If Elder Yu can save it, he will; if he can't, there's nothing we can do. I'm just worried about causing trouble for Elder Yu. Although our two families have a close relationship, we should still be mindful of our actions and not just agree to anything because of our good relationship with Elder Yu."
"No matter how close the two families are, if our family is always causing trouble for others, it is not a way to get along in the long run."
Jiang Zhiyuan affectionately pulled her into his arms and gave her a big kiss. His little wife was showing him tenderness and caring for him.
He couldn't resist any longer and hugged his young wife tightly, taking her in his arms and enjoying her to his heart's content.
I called Mr. Yu the next day.
Nowadays, Dr. Yu rarely sees patients he doesn't know well, after all, he's getting old and his energy isn't keeping up.
However, patients referred by relatives and friends should still be treated on a case-by-case basis.
After being given a time, Gu Deqing took his grandson to Yu Lao Pharmacy.
After personally taking Gu Deqing's pulse, under Gu Deqing's expectant gaze, Master Yu finally uttered the words "can be saved."
Besides taking medication, I need to have acupuncture once a day for the first half month. After that, I need acupuncture every other day. My physical condition will gradually improve after three months. At that time, with the help of medication, appropriate exercise, and a cheerful mood, there shouldn't be any major problems.
Gu Deqing burst into tears on the spot, thanking Mr. Yu again and again.
Old Master Yu waved his hand, indicating that a quiet place should be arranged for Gu Mingcheng to receive acupuncture.
Then he explained that, except for today and tomorrow, he would personally administer the acupuncture, and from now on, his apprentices would administer the acupuncture. He would also give his apprentices instructions on what to pay attention to.
As for the prescription, a new one was written, and I was instructed to see him again in half a month to have my pulse checked and the prescription adjusted.
While Elder Yu went to make preparations, Gu Deqing held Gu Mingcheng in his arms, saying, "With Elder Yu's help, Mingcheng, you're saved!"
Although Gu Mingcheng was young, he already knew what death was.
Don't be fooled by his tendency to keep things bottled up; he actually knows everything.
Hearing Gu Deqing's words, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth. Who would want to die if they could live?
After two or three days of acupuncture, Gu Mingcheng's appetite improved, he was able to eat, his absorption improved, and he felt more energetic.
Gu Deqing was amazed.
If it weren't for Xu Ningyan, he really wouldn't have been able to meet a top-notch medical expert like Elder Yu.
I originally wanted to thank Dr. Yu generously, but Dr. Yu only accepted the consultation fee and the cost of the medicine, and didn't want a single extra penny.
Turning around, he wanted to thank Xu Ningyan.
Unfortunately, Professor Xing prevented Gu Deqing from seeing Xu Ningyan, saying that he had assigned Xu Ningyan a heavy task and simply couldn't spare the time.
As for thank-you gifts, I definitely won't accept them.
Gu Deqing knew that Lao Xing was afraid that he would disturb his little apprentice again, and he also clearly understood that Xu Ningyan's attitude showed that he did not want to have too much to do with him.
So they wisely stopped coming.
However, he secretly vowed that he would find a way to repay Xu Ningyan's kindness to his Gu family.
Otherwise, he might not be able to close his eyes in peace even after he dies, feeling that he owes others something.
Xu Ningyan was unaware of Gu Deqing's thoughts, and she didn't pay much attention to them.
I'm already overwhelmed with the tasks Professor Xing assigns me every day.
The situation in Beijing is changing every day these days.
After returning private homes to individuals, policies to restore and develop the personal economy were introduced at the end of the year.
Of course, only a small number of people dare to apply for an individual business license, and at most they are in the repair and handicraft industries.
Xu Ningyan originally planned to take advantage of the new policy to apply for a personal business license with Chen Fangfang and start a small business.
But when tasks get busy, there's no time to spare.
I only had time to tell Chen Fangfang about my ideas and prospects.
Although Chen Fangfang was still a little apprehensive, after all, the policy had just been introduced and everyone was still observing.
Unexpectedly, Xu Ningyan had already thought ahead. She had always trusted Xu Ningyan. If it weren't for Xu Ningyan's initial suggestion of the hair tie business, which saved her enough money to escape to the capital, she wouldn't be where she is today.
Therefore, Chen Fangfang blindly agreed to all of Xu Ningyan's suggestions.
When the two discussed it, they didn't really hide it from Sister Mei.
Sister Mei was timid, and she had witnessed firsthand how miserable the fates of those who were in business and had money.
Although the policies have improved somewhat now, the memories of those ten years are too vivid for her to bear, and she dares not cross the line.
After thinking it over, I realized that I was just a nobody and an outsider, and I figured Xu Ningyan wouldn't listen to me anyway.
But she was also genuinely worried, as she was relying on the Jiang family for her retirement and naturally hoped that everyone in the Jiang family would be safe and sound.
After hesitating for a few days, I finally found an opportunity to give Jiang Zhiyuan a few words of advice.
After hearing what Sister Mei said, Jiang Zhiyuan didn't say anything else first, but only asked, "Aunt Mei, only our family knows this, outsiders don't know, right?"
Sister Mei immediately waved her hand: "Of course not! Even if I'm confused, I know these things shouldn't be spread around! If I wasn't worried about Xiao Xu getting into trouble, I wouldn't have said that—"
Jiang Zhiyuan's expression softened: "Aunt Mei, as you know, Yan Yan is young and a university student, the kind of talent the country needs most for the future. The reason she said those things is twofold: firstly, the country has indeed introduced this policy; secondly, it's normal for a university student to discuss new national policies. Even if Yan Yan wanted to start a business, that would be responding to the country's call and policies! Don't you agree?"
