Xu Jianguo's treatment of Ma Yue took a little longer than Ma Chao's. It took him nearly an hour to walk out of the room.
Seeing him come out, Ma Guoliang and Lin Wan stood up from the sofa and asked anxiously, "Jianguo, how is it?"
"Auntie, don't worry! The problem in your body has been solved. You just need to drink Chinese medicine for three more days and you will be completely fine!" Xu Jianguo said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, Jianguo, thank you!" Lin Wan said with a sob.
"Look, you're being too formal again, aren't you? Given our relationship, there's no need to say thank you!" Xu Jianguo said.
"Yes, Auntie, please sit down!" Wen Sitian held Lin Wan's hand and comforted her.
"Okay, you sit down too. You're due in two months, so you have to be careful!" Lin Wan said.
"Well, okay!" Wen Sitian smiled and nodded in agreement.
Xu Jianguo went to Ma Guoliang's study to find paper and pen, and then wrote a prescription for Ma Chao and Ma Yue respectively. When he finished writing, Ma Yue and his wife also came out of the house to the living room.
After handing the prescription to them, Xu Jianguo instructed them, "Brother, brother-in-law, use your connections to see if you can get the medicine this afternoon. It's best to start taking it tonight. The Chinese herbs on my prescription are very common, so it shouldn't be a big problem. It's just that today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and I'm worried that they might be resting. I've written down the method for decocting the medicine above, so just follow it. Also, don't have sex these few days. You'll be fine after three days!"
"Okay, I understand, Jianguo, thank you!" Ma Chao and Ou Chuliang were really grateful to Xu Jianguo, while Gulina and Ma Yue had red cheeks, but they also kept saying thank you.
After resolving the hidden illnesses of the two families, it was almost noon. Lunch was prepared by Gulina and Ma Yue, sister-in-law. Lin Wan stayed in the living room to chat with Wen Sitian, while the three girls ran to the yard to play as usual.
"Jianguo, is everything going well over there?" Ma Guoliang asked.
"Everything goes well!" Xu Jianguo knew what he was asking, but because Ma Chao and Ou Chuliang were beside him, he couldn't explain in detail, so he simply reported the progress.
"Well, just tell me what difficulties you encounter, and I will do my best to solve them for you!" said Ma Guoliang.
Xu Jianguo thought for a moment and said, "There really is one!"
"Oh? Tell me, I want to borrow your phone. I haven't greeted the old man yet. I was so busy with my eldest brother and second sister's affairs that I forgot about it. I'm afraid he will beat me the next time he sees me!" Xu Jianguo said.
When Ma Guoliang heard this, he shuddered and slapped himself on the forehead. He immediately said, "Fuck, if you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten about it. Hurry up, call!"
Ma Chao and Ou Chuliang, who were standing by, looked at the two of them with some confusion, but did not ask any further questions.
Five minutes later, the call was connected, and Su Dingshan's voice came from the receiver: "Who is this?"
"Old leader, I am Ma Guoliang, Happy New Year!" Ma Guoliang said.
"You little rascal, I thought you had forgotten about an old man like me!" Su Dingshan said unhappily. His tone was like that of a young wife full of grievances, which made Xu Jianguo, who was eavesdropping next to Ma Guoliang, cover his mouth and laugh.
"How could that be? I just finished some things and called you as soon as I had some free time," Ma Guoliang said with a smile.
"Hmph, you kid have a conscience, but what about Jianguo? That ungrateful little bastard doesn't even bother to comfort an old widower like me. His Grandpa Wu and I have been waiting for his call for the whole morning!" Su Dingshan said, and Wu Tianlong's voice echoed from the side.
Upon hearing this, Xu Jianguo quickly took the phone and said, "Hey, hey, hey, Grandpa Wu, why are you two saying bad things about me behind my back?"
"Who said bad things about you behind your back? Aren't I saying it openly?" Su Dingshan said righteously.
"Uh... okay, what you said makes sense!" Xu Jianguo was speechless for a moment.
"Don't change the subject. Tell me, where have you been? Why did you call me just now?" Su Dingshan asked.
"Please wait a moment before scolding me. You should let me say something auspicious first, right?" Xu Jianguo said.
"Hey, okay, go ahead and talk. Your Grandpa Wu and I are listening!" Su Dingshan said.
"Grandpa Wu, Happy New Year! I wish you both good health and all the best!" Xu Jianguo said.
"Okay, we received your blessings. Tell me, why are you calling now?" Su Dingshan continued to ask.
Xu Jianguo's eyes twitched, thinking that the topic he had finally changed was brought back to the topic again. But there was nothing he could do, the old man had asked, so he had to talk about it. So he told him about treating Ma Chao and Ma Yue.
After he finished speaking, the old man was silent for a long time before he spoke again: "Boy, your commander has had a hard time. There are not many people of his age who still don't have grandchildren. This is also a concern for your grandfather Wu and me. If you can really cure Xiaochao and Xiaoyue's illness, it will be considered to have resolved the knot between the two of us. When you come to Jingzhou, I will treat you to a drink!"
"Haha, don't worry, you and Grandpa Wu will treat us to this dinner!" Xu Jianguo said with a smile.
"Hahaha, okay, I believe you!" Su Dingshan said with a big laugh.
After Xu Jianguo talked with Su Dingshan for a while, he chatted with Wu Tianlong for a while before hanging up the phone.
Ma Guoliang smoked a cigarette, looked at Xu Jianguo cheerfully and asked, "How is it, is the old leader happy?"
"Well, I'm very happy. They even said that they would treat me to a drink when my eldest sister-in-law and second sister get pregnant!" Xu Jianguo said proudly.
"Hehe, that's great. Take me with you when the time comes!" Ma Guoliang said with a smile.
After they chatted for a while, Lin Wan's voice came from the living room, inviting them to dinner.
