"Great, great. I didn't expect that our Xiao family would have another great doctor. Now it's great. Our Xiao family finally has a chance to regain the honor that it has lost for so many years." When he said this, Grandpa Xiao wiped away his tears excitedly.
When everyone saw that an old man had tears in his eyes, they were all panicked.
Especially as his three grandsons, the three Xiao Wen brothers surrounded the old man with nervous faces, "Grandpa, what's wrong with you? Don't scare us."
"Yes, grandpa, why are you crying for no reason? Don't you always tell us that men don't shed tears easily? Why are you crying now?" Xiao Qing grabbed his head anxiously.
"Grandpa, don't cry. When you cry, I want to cry too." Xiao Leng's eyes began to redden.
Old Master Xiao looked at his three disappointing grandsons in front of him, and was so angry that he raised his hand and hit them hard on the head.
"Ouch, Grandpa, why are you hitting me? It hurts so much." Xiao Qing cried out in pain.
Old Master Xiao glared at the three brothers with a look of hatred on his face. "You deserved to be beaten. Who said I cried just now? I was just crying because I was so excited, understand? I didn't cry."
Xiao Wen smiled and immediately echoed the old man's words, "Yes, yes, Grandpa, you didn't cry. We were mistaken just now."
When Mr. Xiao heard this, the anger on his face subsided a little.
But at this time, Mr. Xiao had more important things to deal with.
He pushed away the three grandchildren who were surrounding him with an impatient look, and then walked up to Lin Qingqing with an anxious look, "My dear granddaughter-in-law, Grandpa has a very important thing to ask of you."
Lin Qingqing was stunned and glanced at Xiao Wen.
The result was an expression from him saying that he didn't know either.
Lin Qingqing had no choice but to bite her numbing scalp and ask the old man, "Grandpa, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. There's no need to say the word 'please'."
When Mr. Xiao heard this, he burst into tears again.
Lin Qingqing looked at the old man in this state, her heart was churning. Now she felt that she was the culprit who made the old man cry so miserably.
After crying for a while, Old Man Xiao finally stopped and continued, "My dear granddaughter-in-law, Grandpa has a favor to ask of you. Can you participate in this year's medical competition on behalf of our Xiao family?"
"Medical competition?" When Lin Qingqing heard this word, her mind was full of question marks.
The main reason was that she had never heard of this name.
"Grandpa, what is this?" she asked embarrassedly.
Old Master Xiao gazed into the distance with a look of nostalgia on his face and slowly spoke, "The Medical Skills Competition is actually a place where those of us who study medicine compete in our medical skills. Back in the day, during my grandfather's generation, our Xiao family was always the best in the capital. Sadly, by the time my father's generation came around, our Xiao family couldn't maintain that position, and each generation became worse and worse. Now, our Xiao family is almost extinct in that place."
When Xiao Qing heard this, he immediately raised his hand and interrupted Old Man Xiao's speech, "Grandpa, why have I never heard you mention this place before?"
"Why do you want to know? How can you, who can't even memorize the name of a medicine, be qualified to know? What's the point of telling you? Can you help our Xiao family get this reputation back?" Old Master Xiao pointed at his useless second grandson and scolded him rudely.
Xiao Qing cursed as his head drooped lower and lower, looking towards his elder brother and younger brother for help, hoping that they could save him from his grandfather's mouth because they were brothers.
Xiao Wen and Xiao Leng both gave him a helpless look.
If they join in at this time, wouldn't they be walking into a trap and getting scolded too?
They are not that stupid.
When Xiao Qing saw what his two brothers did, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
In the end, he was helpless and finally thought of the person who could really help him, that was his sister-in-law.
Soon, Lin Qingqing received a look asking for help.
Looking at her brother-in-law who was being scolded like a dog's blood, Lin Qingqing twitched the corner of her mouth. She walked forward and gently called to the old man, "Grandpa, I still want to hear you talk about this medical skills competition. Can you tell me more about this place?"
When Old Man Xiao heard his granddaughter-in-law's words, he immediately stopped scolding her. At the same time, his old face changed into a kind old face and continued to talk to her, "Okay, okay, if you want to hear it, Grandpa will tell you about it. This medical skills competition, it... "
Xiao Qing, who finally escaped the danger, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was really dangerous just now. He almost died at the hands of his grandfather.
Next, Grandpa Xiao told his granddaughter-in-law about the medical competition for eighteen generations.
"That's it. So, my dear granddaughter-in-law, you must take back the glory that belongs to our Xiao family this year, okay?" After saying this, Grandpa Xiao stared at her with his eyes full of hope.
After listening to what Grandpa Xiao said, Lin Qingqing was still confused. "Grandpa, can I do it?"
Old Master Xiao couldn't bear to see his beloved granddaughter-in-law look down on him so much, so he immediately encouraged her, "Okay, of course you can. If you can't, then there will be no one in our Xiao family who can go."
At this point, Old Man Xiao grabbed her hand with a solemn expression and held it tightly, "Child, Grandpa begs you, you must help Grandpa. In Grandpa's lifetime, let Grandpa see the honor that belongs to our Xiao family be taken back."
Hearing this, Lin Qingqing had no choice but to agree despite a numb scalp, "Okay, Grandpa, I promise you, I will participate."
When Mr. Xiao heard this, he immediately burst into tears again, "Okay, okay, thank you grandpa, and thank you on behalf of all the ancestors of the Xiao family."
When Lin Qingqing heard his solemn words, she immediately said, "No, no, this is what I should do, no need to thank me."
After saying these things, the Xiao family’s New Year’s Eve dinner officially began.
Although there were some minor problems in the process, it did not prevent the Xiao family from enjoying this New Year's Eve dinner.
The whole family sat together and had a very happy meal.
After the New Year’s Eve dinner, everyone sat together and watched the TV placed in Xiao’s house, which was broadcasting the Spring Festival Gala.
This New Year's Eve was spent with the family chatting and laughing.
On the first day of the new year, Gu Li and Miao Tianai came to the Xiao family to pay New Year's greetings.
As soon as the two met, they disliked each other.
"If I had known that I would meet someone I don't want to see today, I should have checked the calendar." Miao Tianai said with a gloomy face.
Gu Li gritted her teeth and said, "That's right. I should have checked the calendar earlier."
