The following afternoon.
Xu Guiying waited for Xu Songyuan outside the hospital. Xu Songyuan's face was just as pale as it had been the day before.
"Big sister!"
When Xu Guiying saw him, she frowned. "Come on, let's go inside and let the doctor check you out."
Xu Guiying took Xu Songyuan for a full-body checkup. Xu Songyuan wanted to pay for it himself, but Xu Guiying refused and quickly gave him the money.
The doctor said that Xu Songyuan was anemic and also deficient in potassium. It wasn't a serious problem, but it should be taken seriously.
Xu Songyuan was left behind to receive an IV drip.
More than an hour later, the liquid in the bottle was gone.
Xu Songyuan has regained some strength, and his complexion looks much better now.
Xu Guiying finally breathed a sigh of relief; it would have been a real headache if the examination had revealed a problem.
Xu Guiying's tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and she smiled. "Let's go, I'll take you to my house."
Xu Songyuan nodded, his smile revealing a simple and honest appearance, completely unlike his childhood self. Knowing he was going to meet his brother-in-law's family today, he changed into his latest outfit.
Along the way, Xu Guiying talked about her family.
“Old Song and I had five children. The eldest, third, and fifth were three sons, who were separated from the family and kicked out after making mistakes. The fourth was a girl who had good grades and went abroad to study. The second son was a soldier who was seriously injured and is now a little confused. I took him to the hospital for treatment that day.”
"Oh, right, we also support Old Song's daughter. My niece went back to her grandparents' house. That's roughly the situation."
Xu Songyuan was greatly shocked after hearing this.
"Big sister, have all three sons been separated from their families?"
Xu Guiying hummed in agreement, "You good-for-nothing little beasts, I'll talk about it in detail next time."
Xu Songyuan then asked about the fourth brother's study abroad, saying that Song Rongrong was really amazing and must have taken after her eldest sister.
Their mother was a teacher. The older sister learned to read quickly from a young age, and if it weren't for the famine, she could have gone on to high school and university.
We soon arrived at Heping Lane.
Although Xu Songyuan was from the countryside, he knew that Heping Lane was in a good location, so it seemed that his older sister was doing quite well.
It was past four o'clock in the afternoon, and it would be past five o'clock after dinner. Xu Guiying planned to ride her bicycle to take her younger brother back to Luo'an Town then.
Grandpa and Grandma Song were drying chili peppers in the yard when they saw Xu Guiying leading someone in.
The second son was eating a pancake under the eaves while Qian Yu'an was reading a book nearby.
"Guiying, who is this...?" Old Master Song narrowed his eyes. Why does she look so much like Big Dog's wife?
Xu Guiying introduced with a smile, "Mom and Dad, this is my brother, Xu Songyuan. Brother, these are my parents-in-law, you can call them Uncle Song and Aunt Song."
Xu Songyuan quickly said, "Uncle Song and Aunt Song, I am Xu Songyuan, my sister's younger brother. We were separated for twenty or thirty years. I never imagined she was in the capital. I haven't been able to find her all these years, nor have I ever visited her..."
As Xu Songyuan finished speaking, his voice became increasingly spirited. "For so many years, my eldest sister has had no family members and has suffered countless mistreatments."
Although Xu Songyuan was just a countryman, he couldn't let his brother-in-law's family look down on him!
Grandpa Song burst into laughter, "I knew you two looked alike. Your name is Songyuan, right? How do you spell it? Guiying, how did you find out?"
Grandma Song nudged the old man's hand and then said to Xu Songyuan, "Guiying's brother, come and sit down quickly."
Xu Songyuan's anxiety subsided.
"The pine tree as in pine, the plain as in plain."
Grandpa Song: "Good name. Where do you live now? Where are your family members?"
Xu Songyuan: "In Luo'an Town, there is a daughter."
Xu Guiying then introduced Qian Yu'an, "This is the second son's friend, Yu'an, you can just call him Uncle Xu."
Qian Yu'an called out, "Uncle Xu."
Xu Songyuan quickly responded, then looked at his second son eating a pancake and frowned with worry.
The Song family was bustling with activity. Grandpa Song and Grandma Song had both experienced hardship, and seeing Xu Songyuan's kind face, they were also happy for Xu Guiying.
Song Xinfu knew that his brother-in-law was coming to his house for dinner today, so he rushed home as soon as he got off work.
Xu Guiying then introduced their identities: Song Xinfu and Xu Songyuan were both hardworking and reliable people, and they had influence over each other.
The whole family enjoyed a lively meal together.
Suddenly, Grandma Song saw Xu Songyuan's profile and felt it looked extremely familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before...
I can't remember it for a while, and then I forget it again.
After the meal, Song Xinfu said he would ride his bicycle to take Xu Songyuan back.
It's not completely dark yet, and it will take more than two hours to go there and back. It's safer to go back sooner.
Xu Guiying pulled Song Xinfu aside, "You've never been to Luo'an Town before, you won't even be able to find your way. It'll be dark when you come back, don't make me come pick you up again."
Song Xinfu: "Who told you I've never been to Luo'an Town? Never mind that. I'm taking my brother-in-law back. I'll be right back."
Grandpa Song also said, "Guiying, let Da Gouzi take Songyuan back. It's not safe tonight."
Xu Guiying didn't insist and nodded, "Okay then."
It's almost six o'clock now. If I ride fast, I should get home before it gets completely dark.
Song Xinfu took Xu Songyuan back on his bicycle.
As soon as everyone left, Grandma Song slapped her forehead and quickly pulled Xu Guiying into her room.
"Guiying, do you still remember what I told you about the drug trial?"
Xu Guiying smiled, her heart filled with emotion.
"Mom, I know what you're going to say. This matter is almost resolved. He's not going to participate in the drug trial anymore."
Grandma Song: "That's good. Sigh, injections inside the body are unbearable."
Xu Guiying planned to tell them after everything was settled at Xu Songyuan's family's place.
During this time, Song Yun and Mo Hong's relationship gradually improved.
Neither of them were young; they were aiming to start a family. Mo Hong was reliable and had a stable job. Although he was usually busy, he treated Song Yun very well.
After observing for a while, Song Yun felt that the business could continue to develop.
Around 8 p.m. that evening, not long after Song Xinfu returned home, Song Yun came to the door and called Xu Guiying out, saying that she wanted to go for a walk.
Xu Guiying knew what it was about, so she put on her shoes and went out.
Song Xinfu scratched his head and muttered a few words, "Going out to feed mosquitoes so late at night."
...
After listening to Song Yun's explanation, Xu Guiying nodded. "How about I come visit your shop sometime?"
Song Yun: "Okay, then you can give me some advice, and I'll find a chance to talk to Xiaoxiao about it."
Xu Guiying nodded, "No problem."
"Sister-in-law, let's do it tomorrow. He's coming to help out at the shop tomorrow."
Xu Guiying readily agreed, "Okay, I'll come after I get off work."
