Chapter 167: Be a Worried Person (Page 1/2)
Ling Xi knew that given their family's situation, it would be difficult for them to transfer to a military hospital, but that would be another matter if they had connections in the military.
His grandfather was the head of a military region, but he didn't even try to help him. Although his grandparents wanted to help him, they didn't have the ability.
Although my dad works in a government agency, his career hasn't been very smooth. My eldest brother is now the secretary of his boss, and he still has a long way to go. Who can give him a hand?
Not to mention that he doesn't have Ling Yue. His parents went to great lengths to get her, and now she's just organizing materials in the publicity department.
Although my eldest brother-in-law Chen Jun is a small clerk, his family has complicated relationships and a large population, so it is impossible for him to help.
My younger brother-in-law Huo Qingyan is different. His eldest brother is a military doctor and his grandfather is a general. Even though Mr. Huo is retired now, he still has some power.
If they sincerely wanted to help him, they might actually be able to find a solution.
But we have to wait until he works in the staff hospital for another two years. After all, the doctors recruited by the military hospital are all experienced old doctors.
Huo Qingyan was not a fool, so he naturally understood what they were planning. As long as they didn't make it clear, he would pretend not to know.
Chief Ye didn't take the initiative to help his grandson, and it was even more impossible for his grandfather to help an outsider. His eldest brother hadn't been transferred back, so why would they worry about the affairs of outsiders?
Besides, he and Ling Fei haven't gotten married yet. Even if they did get married, he couldn't ask his grandfather to use his connections to help his brother-in-law.
Around twelve o'clock, Ye Lan finally finished preparing lunch. In addition to the chicken originally prepared at home, she also cooked the pork and fish brought by her son-in-law.
As soon as the food was served, Ling Zhigao invited his two sons-in-law to take their seats. Chen Jun sat next to his father-in-law, Ling Yue sat next to him, and Ling Fei sat next to Huo Qingyan.
After everyone was seated, Ling Zhigao picked up his chopsticks and said, "Eat, eat, eat. Xiao Chen, Xiao Huo, I'm sorry for not hosting you well. Please don't be polite..."
"I know, Dad."
Chen Jun picked up his chopsticks, Huo Qingyan also picked up his chopsticks, and everyone started to eat. Ye Lan suddenly picked up a big chicken leg from the big bowl, stood up and put it into Chen Jun's bowl.
"The eldest son-in-law is here to pay New Year's greetings for the first time, so let's have a big chicken drumstick."
Ling Fei looked at Huo Qingyan and saw that he didn't react. She quickly picked up the second chicken leg from the big bowl and put it in Huo Qingyan's bowl.
"Here, brother-in-law, one for you to eat too."
Ye Lan glared at Ling Fei fiercely. This dead girl was so ungrateful. There were only two chicken legs in total, but she didn't even think to give that one to the elder.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Huo Qingyan smiled at Ling Fei and said, "Fei Fei, you're too skinny. Here's the chicken leg for you."
Anyway, it was impossible to ask him to take the chicken leg back. A chicken has two legs. Since Chen Jun ate one, it was natural to give this one to Ling Fei.
Apart from Ling Fei's nephew, she is the youngest in this house.
Seeing Ling Fei looking at him in surprise, Huo Qingyan teased, "Why are you so reluctant to eat? No wonder you're so small. I guess you were malnourished as a child."
Ling Fei said angrily: "I'm 1.62 meters tall, how can I be small?"
Huo Qingyan glanced at Ling Fei. This girl was indeed 1.62 meters tall, but her weight looked less than 90 kilograms. Isn't that small?
"Eat. You're not even eighteen yet. Maybe if you eat more, you'll grow taller."
Ling Fei knew that Huo Qingyan would not eat chicken legs, so she picked up the chicken legs with her hands and started to chew them. Ling Yue looked at Chen Jun eagerly, but Chen Jun was smart enough to put the chicken legs directly into his father-in-law Ling Zhigao's bowl.

"Dad, you are the head of the family, you eat this chicken leg."
Ling Zhigao looked at Chen Jun with a smile, "Okay, okay, you are thoughtful."
After he finished speaking, he deliberately glanced at Huo Qingyan, but the latter seemed not to hear him and continued to eat his food.
In fact, Huo Qingyan knew it very well in his heart. Although he did not have much good feelings towards this family, he still understood the basic etiquette.
Therefore, all necessary etiquette and gifts will be present; but asking him to please his father-in-law is absolutely impossible!
Who made them so partial? Since they didn't know how to love their fiancée, then he would just take good care of her himself.
After lunch, Huo Qingyan found Ling Zhigao and said that he wanted to take Ling Fei out to buy gifts and prepare to go to pay New Year's greetings to his grandfather.
Before he finished speaking, he grabbed Ling Fei and left the Ling family without looking back.
Just as Huo Qingyan stepped out of the house, Ling Yue couldn't help but start complaining to her father:
"Dad, aren't you going to go with Mom to pay New Year's greetings to Grandpa later? Why didn't you just tell your brother-in-law? And your brother-in-law only wants to pay New Year's greetings to Grandpa and Grandma. Doesn't he plan to pay New Year's greetings to Grandpa and Grandma too?"
Facing his daughter's questioning, Ling Zhigao shook his head helplessly and explained: "Okay, Yueyue, stop talking nonsense.
Your grandpa was the one who arranged their marriage, so it's only natural for them to go and pay New Year's greetings to him."
At this time, Chen Jun, who was sitting next to him, asked Ling Yue softly if he needed to go with him to pay New Year's greetings to his grandfather.
Ling Yue just waved her hand and replied, "No need, Mom and Dad and brother can go over there. I'd better go visit your parents first."
Ling Zhigao wanted to say something, but Ye Lan tugged at his sleeve and said, "Yueyue should go to her parents-in-law to wish them a happy new year. As for mom and dad, we can go by ourselves."
Chen Jun said, "Dad, Mom, Yueyue and I should go to the Ye family with you. Yueyue can come to pay New Year's greetings to my parents any day."
Chen Jun really didn't understand what his mother-in-law was thinking. She knew that his father and brother were both capable, but she didn't try to curry favor with them. Not only did she not allow her children to curry favor with them, she really didn't know how to appreciate the blessings she had!
Huo Qingyan took Ling Fei to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought some candies, snacks, canned food, and two bottles of white wine. Ling Fei chose two cans of malted milk, two packs of snacks, and also bought two packs of tea.
Huo Qingyan asked her, "Why did you buy these?"
"Go and wish your parents a happy new year first, and then go to my grandpa's house. I'll stay at my grandpa's house tonight."
"You want to visit my house for New Year's greetings?"
"Yeah? Do you have a question?"
"No, but if you come to my house for New Year's greetings, my parents will definitely invite you to dinner..."
Ling Fei shook her head. "No, let's go to my grandpa's house for dinner tonight. I'll be staying there tonight..."
Huo Qingyan understood instantly that the little girl was worried and he wanted to let her sleep at home.
He is not a beast, and he only thinks about that kind of thing. Before they get married, he will never touch her. If by some mistake, they end up not getting married for various reasons, what will Ling Fei do in the end?
As a responsible man, he couldn't just sleep with someone casually. Besides, the little girl was not yet eighteen years old and was still growing. It would not be good for her to lose her virginity too early.
