Hu Lingyu's vision went black for a moment, and her body swayed.
Yu Yao supported her and asked anxiously, "Mom, are you alright? Come on, sit down and catch your breath."
Hu Lingyu took a deep breath, waved her hand, and forced a pale smile: "Mom is fine. Go to the room on the second floor and get the handkerchief from the middle drawer for Mom."
Yu Yao nodded, quickly helped her sit down, went upstairs, found the handkerchief Hu Lingyu had mentioned, and then went downstairs.
Hu Lingyu had recovered her senses. After confirming that she was alright, Yu Yao took her bag and went with Hu Lingyu to the military hospital near the compound.
The ward.
Yu Yao and Hu Lingyu rushed as fast as they could and finally found Old Master Lu's ward.
Grandpa Lu lay unconscious in the hospital room, with Lu Yunhao by his side.
"Yunhao, how is your grandfather? What did the doctor say?"
Lu Yunhao: "Auntie, Grandma, you're here. The doctor said Grandpa is alright, he just had a heart attack from the stress and couldn't catch his breath. The doctor gave him an injection, and he's asleep now."
"It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright." Hu Lingyu sat by the hospital bed, holding the old man's hand, her eyes red.
Yu Yao gave Lu Yunhao a look, signaling him to come out with her.
Once in the corridor, Yu Yao glanced through the ward window and whispered, "Tell me, what happened? Wasn't Dad out playing chess? Why is he suddenly so agitated?"
Lu Yunhao said, "It's all Lu Yunqi's fault. That kid is a real handful. After entering the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, he used the Lu family's name to form cliques and small groups. He even beat up the grandson of my grandfather's friend. Just now, the family came to my grandfather to demand an explanation, which made him very angry."
"That Lu Yunqi is really unruly." Yu Yao was angry. She remembered that the original owner of the book had cleaned up Lu Yunqi's messes more than once, and she felt disgusted with Lu Yunqi. "You go in and watch over your grandparents. I'm going to the post office."
With the Canton Fair and educational exchanges going on lately, my older brother and sister-in-law are very busy, so there's no need for them to teach Lu Yunqi a lesson.
Upon arriving at the post office, Yu Yao spoke to the operator and dialed the island's phone number. "Hello, please transfer me to the island's military unit. My name is Yu Yao, and I'm looking for Lu Ze."
A pleasant female voice came from the phone, "Please wait a moment, comrade, we will transfer you shortly."
Yu Yao waited a few minutes before Lu Ze's voice came from the other end of the phone.
She then told Lu Ze about what had just happened and her encounter with Mu Hehe. Lu Yunqi was his nephew, and he was also acting recklessly under the Lu family's name. His second brother and sister-in-law couldn't control him, so they asked Lu Ze to take charge.
After listening, Lu Ze rubbed his temples and said gently, "Don't worry, I'll handle this. I'll give Grandpa's friends an explanation. Just focus on preparing for the Canton Fair."
Yu Yao: "Okay, I understand. We're not staying at the guesthouse this time; we're staying temporarily at the dormitory of Yangcheng Food Factory. Don't worry about it."
Lu Ze knew that his wife was a bit picky about beds and had a strong sense of territory, so she didn't like living with unfamiliar people. "If you're not used to living in the dormitory, you can go back to the old house."
"Okay, I'll talk to you later, there are still people in line behind me." Yu Yao said hurriedly, hung up the phone, paid the phone bill, and rushed back to the hospital.
Grandpa Lu has woken up. He was happy to see his youngest daughter-in-law, and his complexion had improved.
Yu Yao peeled and cut the apples she had just bought from the supply and marketing cooperative into pieces and handed them to the old man: "Dad, I have already spoken to Lu Ze about Lu Yunqi's matter. He will take care of it. You should take good care of yourself."
The usually stubborn old man was surprisingly easy to talk to in front of her. "Yu girl, whatever you say, Dad will do."
Lu Yunhao gave Yu Yao a thumbs up, "Auntie, your words are always effective. I tried my best to persuade Grandpa to take good care of his health, but he didn't listen."
Old Master Lu glared at him: "If it weren't for you being so lenient, I wouldn't listen to you. If I agree with what you say, then I'll listen to you."
Lu Yunhao shrugged and sighed, "It wasn't me who said it, it was the doctor. The doctor told you to avoid spicy food and eat less oily food, but you insisted that I take you to a state-run restaurant to eat braised pork. Of course, I wouldn't do it. But you, on the contrary, secretly went to eat there yourself."
When Hu Lingyu returned from the restroom and heard this, she angrily pinched the old man's ear: "Yunhao did the right thing. How old are you? You're acting like a child, stealing food. Are you going to eat or not?"
When Grandpa Lu saw that his wife was angry, his stubbornness vanished and he immediately backed down, saying, "Lingyu, I won't eat anymore, I won't eat anymore."
After saying that, he glared at Lu Yunhao, who had complained, and said, "You just wait, kid."
Yu Yao, standing to the side, couldn't help but chuckle.
It's said that old people are like children, just like everyone else. Even someone like Grandpa Lu can't escape this rule.
I wonder if Lu Ze will be like this when he gets old.
It was getting late. With Lu Yunhao and Hu Lingyu taking care of her at the hospital, Yu Yao returned to her dormitory. There was still a tough battle ahead, and she needed to go back and discuss tomorrow's arrangements with Aunt Liu and the others.
Just as Yu Yao reached the hospital entrance, she ran into Lu Yunqi, who was carrying a bag of fruit.
A hint of disgust flashed in Yu Yao's eyes.
Lu Yunqi, now brimming with pride, had recruited a group of future talents at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. Seeing Yu Yao, he was about to boast, "What a coincidence, I'm now..."
Yu Yao walked past him expressionlessly, as if she hadn't seen him at all.
Lu Yunqi was stunned.
A chuckle rippled through the crowd: "Young man, your approach to picking up girls is terrible. With your method, they won't even give you a second glance."
Lu Yunqi glared at the man, his face turning ashen as he watched Yu Yao's departing figure, his hands clenched into fists.
You bitch, you'll be begging me for help someday.
Yu Yao returned to her dormitory and first went to have a meeting with Aunt Liu and the others.
"We'll be setting up our booth the day after tomorrow. Before that, you need to memorize all the product knowledge, and most importantly, the sales pitches I've told you to memorize for the Canton Fair. Tomorrow I'll give you a intensive training session and answer any questions you might have at the Canton Fair. Think carefully tonight about what questions you want to ask, and ask them together."
"Okay, class monitor, don't worry, we're all ready. We can even speak those foreign phrases you taught us."
"Well done! Let's keep up the good work for this Canton Fair!"
Afterwards, Yu Yao mentioned some precautions, including dietary considerations and health maintenance for the next two days, to ensure that all four of them would be in the best possible condition to participate in the Canton Fair.
After giving her instructions, Yu Yao went back to her dormitory to get her toiletries and went to the washroom to wash up.
Only Niu Xianhua and Lin Ling were in the dormitory; Mu Hehe and the other staff members who occupied the remaining two beds were not there.
According to Niu Xianhua, the other two people took leave and went home, including Mu Hehe.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and the Canton Fair officially began.
