Wang Ziwen looked at Li Chu and asked, "Can your sister take the medicine you just gave me?"
Li Qin was taken aback by these words: "What medicine? Ziwen, what's wrong with your health?"
"It's alright, my brother-in-law is in good health, don't worry. I gave him that medicine to help him improve his health and overall well-being." She continued, "Brother-in-law, that medicine was specially formulated for your condition; it's not something anyone else can take."
"Sister, I also got some medicine for you. It's not completely finished yet. I'll bring it to you in a few days."
"I'm not taking it. Why would I take medicine when I'm perfectly healthy?" Li Qin rolled her eyes at Li Chu.
Li Chu chuckled and said, "Sister, my medicine is good for beauty and skincare, are you sure you don't want it?"
Upon hearing this, Li Qin's eyes lit up with a red glow: "Where? Where? If it's inconvenient for you, I'll go with you to get it."
Women, regardless of era or age, become obsessed with beauty and skincare products as soon as they hear about them.
Wang Ziwen glanced at his wife sideways and shook his head helplessly.
"Sister, don't worry. There are still two steps left to complete the medicine process. It will be finished in the next couple of days. I'll bring it to you as soon as it's done."
"Alright, then you'd better hurry up!"
"Oh, by the way, Xiao Chu, did that friend I introduced to you last time go to see you for treatment?" Wang Ziwen asked, remembering something.
Li Chu hummed in response, swallowed what was in his mouth, and replied, "You're here. Your friend doesn't have any major problems, just a minor issue that many middle-aged men have. I prescribed some medicine and gave him an injection."
He continued, "The wine I just got, and my bicycle voucher, were given to me by him yesterday." Actually, Li Chu had a lot of vouchers in his space, but he didn't dare to use them recklessly. It was fine if he exceeded his income by a little bit, but if he exceeded it by too much, he wondered if anyone would report him.
"Hmm, it seems to be working, otherwise he wouldn't have gone a second time."
Li Chu shook his finger: "Brother-in-law, don't doubt my professional skills. You'll know the effect of the medicine I just gave you after a week. Don't be fooled by its small size; it contains dozens of medicinal herbs and goes through more than ten processes. There are even two herbs that are almost impossible to find. If my master hadn't left some for me, I wouldn't have been able to make this medicine."
After thinking for a moment, he added, "Brother-in-law, you absolutely must not give this medicine to anyone else. Each person needs a different prescription, and everyone's physical condition is different, so the dosage is also different. If someone takes it randomly, it will cause problems."
Wang Ziwen nodded: "Okay, I understand."
"Who is it? Who did you recommend to Xiao Chu for treatment?" Li Qin interrupted at this moment.
Wang Ziwen said to his wife, "Hey, you know that guy too? He's Li Baonian, the logistics director at the steel plant. I heard he's about to be promoted to deputy director."
"Oh, it's him!" Li Qin nodded without saying anything more.
Li Chu, who had just eaten a piece of meat, nearly spat it out while listening to his brother-in-law's words. He only knew his brother-in-law's friend's name, but not what he did. Hearing this, he thought it sounded like Director Li from a TV drama. So he asked, "Brother-in-law, which steel mill is he from?"
"It's the steel plant."
"It's confirmed, it's him." Li Chu smacked his lips. This guy is no good; he's got a lot of tricks up his sleeve. Looks like he's on good terms with his brother-in-law. He glanced at his brother-in-law. These two can hang out together; it seems his brother-in-law isn't exactly a saint either. But then he thought again, "He's doing well. He thrived in this era, climbing the ladder even after it's over. He can just change jobs and still do pretty well. Even if I can't befriend him, I can't afford to offend him. I can't be a close friend, but I need to maintain this connection; you never know when it might come in handy."
But I'll have to talk to my sister about it later; she needs to tighten her grip on the rope.
After a satisfying meal, Li Chu, fearing his sister's continued nagging, prepared to leave. Li Qin got up, retrieved the radio from the bedroom, and handed it to him.
Li Chu took it and looked at it. Wow, it was the same Mido brand portable one that was a National Day gift last year. He had seen it reported in the newspaper; it seemed that only a few were ever made. He had never actually seen one in person, and he hadn't seen it sold in department stores. This thing would be worth a lot of money in the 21st century.
Li Chu put the food into his bag and said to his sister and brother-in-law, "Thank you both, I'll be leaving now." He then raised his voice and said, "Yuanyuan, Jiadong, your uncle is leaving now. Is there anything you'd like to eat? I'll bring it to you next time."
Two little girls popped out of the house. Yuanyuan ran over and hugged Li Chu's leg, looking up at him and saying, "Uncle, Uncle, I want to eat candied hawthorns. I haven't had them in so long, and Mom won't buy them for me." She even licked her lips as she spoke. Jiadong, standing behind them, nodded without saying a word.
"What are you buying? Xiao Chu, you're not allowed to buy!" Li Qin said, raising her hand to pat her son's head again, pointing at Yuan Yuan and saying, "Look how fat you two have become, and you're still thinking about food."
Li Chu looked at his niece's chubby little face, rubbed it a couple of times, and then deliberately whispered, "Let's not worry about Mom, Uncle will buy it for you next time he comes over."
The little girl beamed, "Uncle, you have to keep your word! I want two skewers." As she spoke, she held up two fingers to show her mouth.
Li Chu patted the little girl's head and said, "Of course, I'll definitely buy it." Then he said to Jia Dong, "Jia Dong, take your sister to play. There's something for you too. Goodbye, Yuan Yuan and Jia Dong."
Goodbye, Uncle!
"Sister, brother-in-law, I'm back."
"Brother-in-law, remember the dosage and instructions for that medicine, don't take it randomly."
"I'll remember. Drive carefully on your way back, and come by often when you have time."
"Xiao Chu, remember to get me that medicine," Li Qin reminded her again. "And don't forget about finding a partner."
"I won't forget. I'll bring the medicine over as soon as it's ready. Alright, you can all go inside now." With that, he turned and left.
