Chapter 213 Adopting a Goddaughter
"Sit, sit, all of you sit!"
Xie Yuelan asked everyone to sit down.
Su Qiao suppressed the strange feeling she had towards Zhou Jun.
But looking at Zhou Jun's pale and weak face, he couldn't help but speak, "When Aunt Zhou gave birth at a young age, did she not take good care of herself during the confinement period, leaving behind a root cause of illness?"
When Su Qiao said this, Xie Yulan was shocked.
Zhou Jun and Ji Anyang have a son and a daughter. The older one is a son who now works in the Capital Military Region.
The younger daughter...
After Zhou Jun gave birth to her daughter, she didn’t even have time to rest for a day, let alone recuperate.
In order to protect her daughter, she entrusted her to someone else, but the person she entrusted her to was not the right one.
After that incident, Zhou Jun not only suffered severe physical injuries, but also suffered from mental illness.
These years, I have been missing my daughter and feeling guilty about her. I have been in a bad mood and naturally my health has not been good.
People around her knew her worries and never mentioned the matter of her having a baby in front of her.
She forgot that Su Qiao was a doctor and could see Zhou Jun's condition, and she also forgot to remind Su Qiao. She didn't expect Su Qiao to speak out so enthusiastically.
Xie Yuelan was a little nervous and wanted to smooth things over.
Unexpectedly, this time Zhou Jun did not behave as usual. When someone mentioned this matter, she turned away and went home, feeling sad alone.
Instead, he looked at Su Qiao with a smile and said with a lack of energy: "Yes!
Our conditions were poor at that time, and after I gave birth to my daughter, I didn’t have time to rest after giving birth, which hurt my health.”
"Aunt Zhou, if you don't mind, could you let me help you with the treatment?" Su Qiao blurted out the words without even thinking.
"Okay!" Zhou Jun agreed with a smile, "I heard from Old Ji that you learned medical skills from the old dean, so your medical skills must be very good.
It is my luck to meet you and treat me."
Zhou Jun said this and took Su Qiao's hand lovingly.
The moment her hand was held by that dry and warm hand, Su Qiao's heartbeat paused.
In fact, whether in the production team or after arriving at the military region, there were elders who would lovingly hold her hand.
But she had never felt that the warmth of any elder's hands was as warm as Zhou Jun's, which made her greedy.
As Su Qiao and Zhou Jun were talking, Xie Yuelan was stunned.
"Junjun, who was Qiaoqiao's grandfather you mentioned just now?"
"Old Dean," Zhou Jun said firmly, "This is what Old Ji and his team found out when they sent people to conduct a political review of Qiao Qiao. There is no mistake."
Xie Yuelan's expression froze.
It took me a long time to come back to my senses.
She also excitedly grabbed Su Qiao's hand, "Qiao Qiao, you said before that your grandfather... is the old dean..."
Su Qiao knew what Xie Yuelan wanted to express.
Thinking of her grandfather's death, her heart ached.
She nodded somewhat heavily, "Well, my grandfather is no longer here."
When she said this, not only did Xie Yuelan and Zhou Jun fall silent, but even Han Yushan and Ji Anyang, who had just come out of the study, fell silent.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became heavy.
"Auntie Zhou, let me take your pulse now!"
Su Qiao spoke in a light tone, breaking the heavy atmosphere.
Her grandfather was murdered, and she will never let the murderer go.
However, the dead are gone, and the living must still live well.
Grandpa's attitude towards life has always been positive.
She thought her grandfather certainly didn't want to see them and felt so sad for her.
"Okay!" Zhou Jun agreed readily.
Actively stretch out your hand to cooperate with Su Qiao.
Seeing this scene, Ji Anyang was shocked and a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes.
In the years since his son left home, Zhou Jun has become increasingly silent, often waking up crying from his sleep, and refusing to accept any treatment.
The doctors he invited back home were all stern and cold.
I didn't expect that she would cooperate with Su Qiao today.
Han Yushan also knew Zhou Jun's situation, and said to Ji Anyang with a smile: "This girl and Comrade Zhou Jun get along quite well.
Old Ji, why don't you consider taking this girl in as your goddaughter? Maybe it will help Mr. Zhou get rid of his worries."
Ji Anyang looked at Su Qiao and felt satisfied no matter how he looked at her.
He smiled and said, "This girl is indeed to my liking, but to adopt a daughter, the person must be willing."
Han Yushan said: "You can discuss it with Comrade Zhou Jun, as long as Comrade Zhou Jun agrees.
I let Yuelan act as a middleman."
Ji Anyang nodded without hesitation, "Okay!"
After Su Qiao took Zhou Jun's pulse, she looked at her eyes and tongue, and said seriously, "Auntie Zhou, you are not in serious condition.
It's just that I didn't take good care of myself during the postpartum period, which caused my body to be a little deficient, with insufficient Qi and blood. I just need to replenish it.
But more importantly, you have to relax.
Worrying too much will cause liver qi to stagnate. Once liver qi stagnates, no amount of magic medicine can replenish it in the body."
When Su Qiao said this, Xie Yuelan was worried for her.
In the past, many doctors had told Zhou Jun to relax and not worry too much, but Zhou Jun had sent all of them away.
But this time, Zhou Jun was not unhappy at all.
Instead, she used a kind gaze to describe Su Qiao's eyebrows and said, "Okay, Aunt Zhou will listen to you, don't worry."
Su Qiao smiled and said, "Auntie Zhou, I will prepare the medicine for you when I get home.
With herbal baths, oral medication, and acupuncture, it won’t take long for us to get our bodies in good shape.”
"Okay, Qiao Qiao, thank you for your help."
Zhou Jun held Su Qiao's hand tenderly and kindly.
At this time, the orderly serving at the commander's house had already prepared the meal and served it on the table.
Xie Yuelan and Su Qiao went to the garden together to call the three children back for dinner.
Ji Anyang took this opportunity to tell Zhou Jun about his idea of adopting Su Qiao as his goddaughter.
The light in Zhou Jun's eyes flashed for a moment, and then he said hesitantly: "I am willing, but I don't know Qiao Qiao..."
Ji Anyang said, "Okay, as long as you're willing, I'll ask my sister-in-law to talk to Qiao Qiao about this."
Ji Anyang happily went to find Xie Yuelan.
Zhou Jun quickly grabbed him and warned him, "Then tell your sister-in-law that if the child is willing, then she is willing, and if she is not willing, then she is not willing. But don't persuade her, and don't make things difficult for the child."
Ji Anyang smiled and said, “Don’t worry.
Qiaoqiao is such a good child, we wanted to embarrass her, but sister-in-law wouldn't let us!"
Zhou Jun thought about it and believed so.
Before she met Su Qiao, she had already heard Xie Yuelan praising Su Qiao.
At that time, she thought Xie Yuelan was exaggerating.
When I met her today, I realized that Xie Yuelan is always pragmatic.
A sumptuous dinner was prepared.
There was chicken stewed with Gastrodia elata, sweet and sour fish, braised pork, and pork cooked with chili peppers, as well as four vegetarian dishes.
The guests enjoyed the meal very much.
After dinner, Han Yushan talked with Ji Anyang and his wife in the living room.
Xie Yuelan called Su Qiao into the bedroom.
"Qiao Qiao, I called you in specially because I wanted to talk to you about your Aunt Zhou."
Xie Yuelan told Su Qiao what happened when Zhou Jun gave birth to their little daughter, and how the little daughter was entrusted to the wrong person and could not be found.
Finally, he said, "Old Ji and your Aunt Zhou both feel that looking at you is as intimate as looking at their lost little daughter.
I want to take you in as my goddaughter. Let me ask you if you are willing."
