Aunt Zhou understood the implication in Ye Weiwei's words and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Weiwei, did you figure something out? Is there something wrong with Granny Sun?"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Ye Weiwei with curiosity.
Even Zhang Changnian was looking at her.
He knew that his little niece was skilled in medicine.
The Zhang family had been practicing medicine for generations, a tradition that had lasted for hundreds of years. However, in their generation, the political situation became turbulent, and many of the brothers abandoned their studies to join the army and serve their country. Only the eldest brother carried on the family tradition. Unfortunately, his sister-in-law had injured her health in her early years and had no children. His father had always wanted to select a promising young man from among the younger generation to train, but the younger generation avoided the idea like the plague.
Weiwei was taken in by her parents for upbringing at a young age and stayed with her father for many years. Her father praised her in front of them more than once, saying that she was extremely talented in medicine and that if she could calm down and study it, she would definitely achieve great things.
Unfortunately, Weiwei became disobedient after she got a little older, always following Zhao Mingzhe around instead of focusing on her studies. He thought that Weiwei had long since neglected her medical skills, but now it seems that this girl has not only not neglected them, but has actually made a lot of progress and can now treat patients.
Could it be because of Huo Xiao?
Zhang Changnian found Huo Xiao even a little more agreeable.
Ye Weiwei's face showed a hint of seriousness. "Aunt Sun doesn't look well. I suggest that she go to the hospital for a check-up."
Grandma Sun looked at Ye Weiwei suspiciously, "Ye Zhiqing, don't talk nonsense. I'm perfectly healthy! I can eat and sleep well, and I don't have any problems at all."
"Ye Weiwei, stop spreading alarmist rumors!" Wu Xiaojing also felt that Ye Weiwei was making a fuss and talking nonsense. She knew her mother's health better than Ye Weiwei, an outsider!
Ye Weiwei shrugged, her tone casual, "I'm just offering a friendly reminder, believe it or not is up to you."
Oh!
You say you're not wrong, but did you get my permission?
She looked at Zhang Changnian, "Uncle, are you tired? Let's find a place to sit down and rest for a bit?"
Huo Xiao quickly invited, "Uncle, my house is just ahead, why don't you come to my house?"
Zhang Changnian glared at Huo Xiao: "Who are you calling 'little uncle'! Don't call someone by that name without any proper recognition!"
Huo Xiao straightened up and said loudly, "Yes, Uncle."
Zhang Changnian was so angry that he raised his foot to kick someone, but when he saw Huo Xiao's cane, he put his foot down and raised his chin, "Hurry up and lead the way!"
After saying that, he instructed the person following him to drive the car to Huo Xiao's house.
"Yes," Huo Xiao replied, and took Zhang Changnian home.
As soon as Aunt Zhou and the others left, she suddenly slapped her thigh and ran towards the river.
These past few days, everyone has seen Wu Dayou catching fish in the river. After work, many people go to the river to try their luck. Liu Guilan took Xiaoshan and Xiaochuan to watch the fish-catching after work, but they haven't returned yet.
She had to quickly tell Liu Guilan that Ye Zhiqing's relatives had come to visit.
We absolutely must not neglect the woman's family members, lest the marriage between the two children fall through!
When Liu Guilan received the news and rushed home, Ye Weiwei and Huo Xiao had already welcomed Zhang Changnian into their home. After pouring him a glass of water, Ye Weiwei began to give Huo Xiao acupuncture.
Zhang Changnian was almost speechless at Ye Weiwei's amazing silver needle technique!
He is not Huo Xiao. He comes from a family of doctors and has watched his father perform acupuncture countless times since he was a child.
Ye Weiwei's skill is far beyond what even the old man in her family can match.
Although he was extremely shocked, Zhang Changnian was a man who had experienced many storms, so he quickly concealed his emotions, sat aside and watched without disturbing Ye Weiwei's treatment.
Liu Guilan rushed home with a heavy heart, expecting to see Ye Weiwei's elders disliking their third son and trying to break up the two. But when she opened the door, she was surprised to see such a harmonious scene!
A handsome, imposing middle-aged man in a crisp military uniform sat upright in her yard, slowly sipping water from a cup. He looked at Ye Weiwei beside him with eyes full of affection and doting. When he looked at Huo Xiao, although there was a hint of criticism, there was no arrogance or disdain.
Liu Guilan immediately felt relieved!
She smiled and stepped forward to greet him: "You must be Weiwei's uncle? I've often heard Weiwei mention you. Seeing you today, you are indeed a very handsome and extraordinary man."
Ye Weiwei chuckled inwardly at Liu Guilan's words. Her future mother-in-law was quite the social butterfly! When had she ever mentioned her brother-in-law to her?
Listen to that, even classically elegant words like "heroic and extraordinary" are popping up.
When Zhang Changnian saw Liu Guilan stand up, he quickly looked her over and smiled, saying, "I am Weiwei's uncle, Zhang Changnian. I am here on official business and came to see her."
The woman was dressed simply. Although she was not particularly beautiful, she was neatly dressed and spoke in a way that was not as coarse as that of a typical rural woman. She had a somewhat kind face.
Especially when she heard that Weiwei often mentioned her, Zhang Changnian's expression softened unconsciously.
Before long, the rest of the Huo family returned one after another.
Ye Weiwei introduced them and Zhang Changnian one by one.
After everyone got to know each other, the men of the Huo family chatted with Zhang Changnian in the courtyard, while Liu Guilan and Su Xuemei busied themselves preparing the meal.
The eldest and second eldest brothers of the Huo family caught a three-pound grass carp in the river today, which is perfect for entertaining guests tonight.
The wild boar meat distributed at home was all made into cured meat. Liu Guilan cut off a large piece, which would be great for stir-frying or making a steamed dish.
Zhang Changnian and his orderly drove the car to the Huo family's door. Zhang Changnian took some food out of the car for Liu Guilan, as well as candy for the children, two packets of brown sugar, a packet of milk powder, and some biscuits.
Liu Guilan couldn't refuse, so she accepted the gift and gave each of the children two candies and a biscuit. The children were overjoyed and thanked Zhang Chang before running to the door to see the big jeep after the New Year.
Seeing that the Huo family children were all well-mannered, Zhang Changnian felt a little more favorably toward the Huo family.
Huo's father and Huo Xiao's two older brothers were all honest farmers who didn't seem to have any bad intentions. Liu Guilan's affection for Ye Weiwei wasn't just expressed in words; she never let Ye Weiwei help in the kitchen, and when she handed out candy and cookies to the children, she gave her a big handful, which showed that she wasn't the type to torment her daughter-in-law.
During the meal, the Huo family members, both adults and children, behaved very well. Liu Guilan treated her two grandsons and three granddaughters equally, without favoring boys over girls, which made Zhang Changnian like her even more.
You should know that, whether it's the Zhang family or the Ye family, girls are treasures and are pampered from a young age.
In their generation, there was only one girl, Weiwei's mother. In the next generation, the Zhang family was all boys, and the Ye family only had one girl, Weiwei. Weiwei was the only girl in their generation and the apple of both families' eyes.
