Xiao Wen glanced at his wife and shook his head honestly, "I don't know either, but Grandpa seems to recognize this wooden box."
When Lin Qingqing heard his words, she immediately walked over to Old Man Xiao, who was holding the wooden box with a look of treasure on his face, and asked, "Grandpa, do you recognize this wooden box?"
When Mr. Xiao heard the question from his grandson's wife, he immediately put down the wooden box in his hand, and pulled her over with a happy look on his face to stare at the wooden box together.
"My dear granddaughter-in-law, do you know what is in this wooden box?" he asked happily.
Lin Qingqing glanced at his happy old face. She really didn't want to spoil his fun, so she shook her head and said, "I don't know, Grandpa, do you know?"
"Of course I know. I saw this wooden box when I was a child. Unfortunately, after that incident, many things in our Xiao family were lost. Even this wooden box was only seen that year and I never had the chance to see it again."
At this point, Mr. Xiao sighed heavily and said with a nostalgic look on his face, "I never thought that I would have the opportunity to see this wooden box again in my lifetime."
After hearing this, and seeing the old man's expression of cherishment for the wooden box, Lin Qingqing began to know what was inside.
"Grandpa, could this wooden box contain an invitation to the medical competition?" she asked in a low voice.
As soon as she finished asking, she immediately received a thumbs-up from Old Man Xiao. "My good grandson's wife is really smart, unlike that useless brat Xiao Wen, who is completely useless and almost threw away such a valuable thing."
Xiao Wen, who was scolded for no reason, looked at his wife with an innocent look, seeking comfort.
Lin Qingqing immediately comforted him with her eyes, and then continued to ask Mr. Xiao about the wooden box.
"Grandpa, why was the invitation to the competition sent in this? We almost threw it away as garbage." Lin Qingqing said with a smile while looking at the wooden box in his hand.
Old Man Xiao's face was filled with nostalgia. "This is the special thing about the Medical Skills Competition. Let me tell you, kid, not everyone can get this invitation. As far as I know, no one from the Miao or Wang families got one. Only our Xiao family and the Ouyang family got one. Haha, this time, our Xiao family has finally become famous in the medical circle of Beijing."
Having said that, Old Man Xiao looked at his eldest grandson, Xiao Wen, with a look of satisfaction. "Grandson, you seem useless at ordinary times, but you are very useful in marrying a wife. You brought your good grandson's wife back to our Xiao family. After growing up, you finally did something useful for the Xiao family."
Xiao Wen listened to his grandfather's words with a wry smile on his face, feeling a little sad. He knew how dissatisfied his grandfather was with his eldest grandson.
Lin Qingqing, who was listening in, also looked at her man with sympathy.
That night, the family sat together and took out the invitation.
After reading the above content, Xiao Qing immediately took out his fingers and counted.
"I'm going on the eighth day of the second month. It's only half a month away."
Compared to the nervousness of her family members, Lin Qingqing, the person involved, looked calm.
"Half a month is fine, I've already prepared everything I can."
At this time, Xiao Leng's eyes were fixed on the number of accompanying persons written on the invitation letter.
"Sister-in-law, it says that you can bring a companion with you. I, I want to ask, can I go with you to see it?" He said it very cautiously.
Lin Qingqing chuckled softly and agreed readily, "What's wrong with that? If you want to go, let's go together. Our whole family will go."
When the three little ones heard her announcement, three pairs of eyes lit up at the same time.
"Mom, can we go too?" asked the second child, Xiao Wenqing, in disbelief.
"Of course you can go. Didn't I tell you that our whole family will go?"
If she can win, it's fine. If not, she will just take her family there to see the world.
The day after Lin Qingqing received the invitation, the first group of people came to the Xiao family's old house to inquire about this matter.
Lin Qingqing was not unfamiliar with this family, the Miao family.
When Mr. Xiao heard Mrs. Wang say that the Miao family was coming to visit, he brought Lin Qingqing and Xiao Wen to the Xiao family yard in advance to wait.
Seeing that the old man seemed to attach great importance to the arrival of the Miao family, Lin Qingqing's heart couldn't help but beat nervously. She walked up to Old Man Xiao and asked in a low voice, "Grandpa, do you attach great importance to the Miao family?"
Seeing the cautious look on his grandson's wife's face, Old Master Xiao laughed out loud, "Girl, Grandpa doesn't take their arrival seriously. I want them to know about our Xiao family's good news in advance, so that the people of the Miao family will feel jealous.
Speaking of this, Mr. Xiao winked at his granddaughter-in-law Lin Qingqing with a mischievous look on his face.
Lin Qingqing looked at Mr. Xiao's naughty spirit, the corners of her mouth twitched, and soon a smile slowly appeared in the corners of her eyes.
It’s good that she doesn’t take it seriously. This way, she can be bolder in dealing with Miao Xinru in the future.
Just as the grandfather and grandson finished their conversation, they saw Mrs. Wang and a group of people walking into the yard of the Xiao family's old house.
The Miao family member walking in the lead looked about the same age as Old Man Xiao.
"Old Man Xiao, it's been a long time since we last met. After all these years, I thought the next time I saw you would be your ashes."
When Mr. Xiao, who was walking towards him, heard his words that he could not produce ivory from a dog's mouth, the smile on his old face immediately lengthened.
"I haven't seen you for a few years, old man, but you still can't spit out ivory from your mouth." Old Master Xiao said with a loud snort.
Old Master Miao's expression changed as well, and he snorted loudly, "You stinky old man, it's been a few years since I last saw you, and your mouth is still as annoying as before."
Old Master Xiao snorted again, "Same here, you have a very annoying mouth."
The younger generations of the two families looked helplessly at the two old men, who were almost 200 years old in total, arguing like children.
The two old men quarreled for a few minutes, and Mr. Miao's attention was focused on Lin Qingqing who was standing behind Mr. Xiao.
The main reason was that he was very familiar with the Xiao family. He had never seen Lin Qingqing's face before, and combined with the person named Xiao family's granddaughter-in-law mentioned by his granddaughter, he quickly guessed her identity based on these clues.
"Girl, come here." Old Man Miao pushed away Old Man Xiao who was blocking his view, and waved towards Lin Qingqing with a serious expression on his old face.
