"It's all in the past. You should just call me Qingshan." Zhao Qingshan waved his hand and said.
"Then I'll call you Brother Qingshan!" Tao Jiadong shouted, then turned to Aunt Tao and said, "Mom, you've always wanted a mature and steady son like Brother Qingshan. Today, I helped you bring Brother Qingshan back. Do you have any reward?"
"You petty monkey, I just praised Qingshan in front of you a few times, and you have been jealous for so many years." Aunt Tao couldn't help but slapped Tao Jiadong, making Tao Jiadong scream.
Zhao Zhenzhu was delighted to see this.
"Jiadong, why are your hair turning white too? I thought Qingshan and I were the only ones who grew old." Wu Meiyu looked at Tao Jiadong with a sigh as he saw a few strands of white hair on his temples.
When Wu Meiyu first met Tao Jiadong, Tao Jiadong had just joined the army and still had a bit of childishness on his face.
After not seeing him for more than 20 years, Tao Jiadong is still as lively and cheerful as before, but the childishness on his face has disappeared, and he has become mature and resolute.
"Sister-in-law, we haven't seen each other for more than 20 years. Time makes people grow old. Isn't it normal for me to get old?" Tao Jiadong said with a smile.
"Qingshan and I are ten years older than you! We are old, and you are still young." Wu Meiyu retorted with a smile.
"Sister-in-law, don't listen to Tao Jiadong's nonsense. His white hair is hereditary. My father-in-law's hair started to turn white when he was in his thirties. It has nothing to do with age. If you don't believe me, ask my mother-in-law." Wang Jing bluntly exposed Tao Jiadong's lie.
"Xiao Jing is right. My old man's hair turned white early, and Jiadong inherited it from his father." Aunt Tao supported Wang Jing.
"Hehehe, my Xiaojing is a doctor. She is quite serious and can't stand me talking nonsense." Tao Jiadong said awkwardly.
"It's good to be a doctor. It requires ability." Wu Meiyu looked at Wang Jing enviously and said.
Wu Meiyun was born prematurely, and her body has always been weaker than that of a full-term baby. She is more likely to catch colds than others during the changing seasons.
Doctors can help people get rid of pain. Therefore, Wu Meiyun has always admired doctors.
"Xiaojing's medical skills are really good, Meiyun! I heard from Qingshan that your asthma attacks have started to increase in recent years. I will let Xiaojing take your pulse and prescribe a prescription. You can go to the hospital to get the medicine and take it. After taking it for a period of time, you should feel better." Aunt Tao said with a smile.
"Auntie, you really helped me a lot. I was just about to ask my sister-in-law for help, but I was afraid of disturbing her." Wu Meiyu stepped forward and held Auntie Tao's arm.
"What's the point of asking for help? You are weak and Xiaojing happens to know some medical skills. You can go to Xiaojing for treatment. Xiaojing can help you accumulate more experience!" Aunt Tao patted Wu Meiyu's hand and said with a smile on her face.
Aunt Tao has always liked Wu Meiyu.
Wu Meiyun has a calm temperament, is warm-hearted to others, and knows how to act in moderation.
Tao Jiadong's father died a long time ago, and Tao Jiadong was raised by Aunt Tao.
After Tao Jiadong joined the army, Aunt Tao simply moved to a village near the army.
Wu Meiyu happened to live in that village.
In this way, Wu Meiyu met Aunt Tao.
The two have been together for several years, and Aunt Tao has long treated Wu Meiyu as her own child.
Wu Meiyun didn't want to drag Zhao Qingshan down at first, so she refused to accept Zhao Qingshan's proposal. Aunt Tao, at Zhao Qingshan's request, persuaded Wu Meiyun for a long time before she finally agreed.
It can be said that Aunt Tao was half a matchmaker between Zhao Qingshan and Wu Meiyun.
Zhao Zhenzhu held the hands of the two children and followed Wu Meiyun.
When Wang Jing looked at her, Zhao Zhenzhu smiled at her.
"You are Zhenzhu, right? Are these two children Jiakai and Yunyun?" Wang Jing asked.
"Hello, Aunt Wang, I'm Zhao Zhenzhu. This is my son Zhou Jiakai, and this is my daughter Zhou Yunyun. Jiakai and Yunyun, you two say hello to Grandma Wang." Zhao Zhenzhu pulled the children's hands and said.
"Hello, Grandma Wang." Zhou Jiakai and his sister said in unison.
After Zhou Yunyun finished speaking, she added: "Grandma Wang, you are so beautiful! I thought it was Aunt Wang!"
"Oh, Yunyun has such a sweet mouth." Wang Jing said with a smile.
Wang Jing is forty years old this year.
Because of her job, Wang Jing is very good at keeping in good health and looks several years younger than her actual age.
Women all like to be praised for being young and beautiful, and Wang Jing is no exception.
"I'm telling the truth, Grandma Wang looks just like Aunt Wang." Zhou Yunyun looked at Wang Jing and smiled, her eyes curved into two small crescents.
"Oh, what a good child." Wang Jing smiled happily.
Wang Jing and Tao Jiadong have two sons, both of whom are in the army. The older one is 20 years old and the younger one is 18 years old. Neither of them has found a partner yet.
Seeing the cute appearance of Zhou Jiakai and Zhou Yunyun, Wang Jing wanted to urge them to get married.
"Jia Kai Yun Yun, come here, this is what Grandma Wang gave you." Wang Jing took out two red envelopes from her pocket and handed them to the two children respectively.
"Auntie Wang, it's not New Year's Day, no need to give me a red envelope." Zhao Zhenzhu blushed.
According to the rules of Taohua Town, the elders will give red envelopes to the younger generations during the Chinese New Year.
Zhao Zhenzhu was afraid that Wang Jing spent money to give the red envelope because she asked the children to say hello to her.
"It's the custom of people in Guangcheng that we have to give red envelopes to children when we meet them for the first time! Jiakai and Yunyun, take them quickly. There's not much money in them, but it's just a good intention." Wang Jing stuffed the red envelopes into the children's hands.
Zhou Jiakai and Zhou Yunyun shook their heads and put their hands behind their backs at the same time.
My mother said that we cannot accept red envelopes since it’s not Chinese New Year.
"Zhenzhu, accept it! Your Aunt Wang is from Guangcheng, and people from that place like to give out red envelopes. Aunt Wang has a high salary, so we should not refuse it." At this time, Zhao Qingshan came over with a smile and helped Wang Jing out of the predicament.
Zhao Zhenzhu then thanked them and let the children accept the red envelopes.
When old friends meet again, there are endless things to talk about.
After dinner, Zhao Qingshan asked Zhao Tianyu to make a pot of tea while he continued chatting with Tao Jiadong.
Wang Jing took out a small pulse pillow from her cloth bag and took Wu Meiyun's pulse.
Wu Meiyu's health was indeed not very good. Wang Jing frowned and considered it over and over again, then wrote a prescription for Wu Meiyu.
"Sister-in-law, you must rest more in the future. Don't get too tired. Don't worry too much. Keeping a happy mood will help you recover from your illness." Wang Jing said after writing the prescription.
"Xiao Jing, my body...will it not last more than a year? When I was young, a hermit told me that I would live no more than 51. Lately, whenever I get angry, I feel as if my body is hollowed out. I think I may be dying soon." Wu Meiyu asked quietly after putting away the prescription.
