Chapter 97 Wen Ci fell asleep, I hope my aunt won’t disturb her!
When meeting the fifth woman, Xue Li couldn't help but confess that he had a girlfriend, and said he would bring her home at noon.
Xue's mother didn't believe it at all, but after his eloquent persuasion, she finally believed what he said temporarily.
Seeing that no one came back from inside, Xue Li reached out and opened the door of the courtyard from the inside, then stood in the middle of the courtyard and shouted, "Doctor Yu, I'm here to pick you up."
After a while, Xue Li frowned and muttered to himself: "They shouldn't be at home? Could it be that they have gone to the state-owned restaurant to eat?"
Their meals on the train depended entirely on the instant noodles brought by Wen Ci.
It’s okay to eat one or two meals, but eating too much instant noodles will make you feel uncomfortable.
Moreover, state-owned restaurants are only available in provincial capitals and large cities.
Suddenly, the window of the bedroom on the second floor slowly opened. Yu Qing stood dimly in front of the window and shouted, "Keep your voice down. I'll be down soon."
There are rooms upstairs and downstairs, but Yu Qing doesn't dare to live in such a big house alone, so he sleeps in a big bed with Wen Ci, feeling safe.
"Oh oh." Xue Li immediately covered his mouth.
After a while, Yu Qing came downstairs sleepily. She combed her hair and said softly, "Wen Ci has fallen asleep. Let's keep our voices down."
Wen Ci had hardly slept at all on the green train. Now that she was sure that Captain Huo was fine, the stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.
Su Guilan was standing outside the door.
She was hesitant and a little resistant.
When Xue Li and Yu Qing went out, they caught a glimpse of the middle-aged woman at the door. She frowned and asked in confusion, "Who is this?"
"She is Wen Ci's mother."
Hearing this, Yu Qing looked Su Guilan up and down with a strange look. Today he finally saw the woman who abandoned her own flesh and blood!
We are all women.
Yu Qing couldn't understand why he would treat his own flesh and blood like this? After all, it was still a piece of his flesh and blood.
Yu Qing said calmly: "Wen Ci has fallen asleep, I hope Auntie won't disturb her!"
She emphasized the word "Auntie" on purpose.
As he spoke, Yu Qing closed the door of the courtyard again.
Although Xue Li was a little silly, he could hear the sarcasm in Doctor Yu's tone. He frowned and whispered, "Auntie is my sister-in-law's biological mother. Isn't it bad for you to do this?"
"What's wrong with that?"
Xue Li closed his mouth silently, took the initiative to open the passenger door, looked at Su Guilan, and said, "Auntie, we'll leave first."
Su Guilan nodded.
She looked towards the bedroom on the second floor, and there was a hint of kindness in her eyes, perhaps just as her son said.
Bringing Wen Ci back from the poor mountain village seemed to give her hope, but asking her to marry and join the army in the northwest in place of her adopted daughter was a heavy blow to her.
Su Guilan had tears in her eyes.
But that wasn't her intention.
Wen Ci grew up in the countryside and had not received any cultural education. She was lucky to marry Huo Jingyuan.
Suddenly, a family member passing by recognized Su Guilan and asked with a smile, "Why, your daughter and Chief Huo's grandson are back?"
Su Guilan hid her emotions, and few people knew that Huo Jingyuan was seriously injured. After all, the old leader Huo had many students all over the world, so this news needed to be concealed.
"Well, the kids came back to see me during the holidays."
"You are so lucky."
·
In the car, Xue Li held the steering wheel with both hands, but his peripheral vision glanced at Yu Qing uncontrollably, and asked curiously: "Doctor Yu, did you dress up on purpose?"
"Yeah."
While basking in the sun, Wen Ci suggested that she dress up. Even if she was pretending to be his girlfriend, it was her first visit, so she had to make a good impression.
Suddenly, Yu Qing remembered something and said with a gentle smile: "Let's go to the mall and buy some things. It's not good to go back empty-handed."
"It's too expensive!"
Yu Qing looked at Xue Li and blinked: "What are you thinking about? I am pretending to be your girlfriend, so of course you have to pay for the purchase."
The main reason is that I don't have much money. As Beijing is the capital, the prices of things must be very expensive. I'd better let Xue Li pay for the gifts.
When passing by the shopping mall, Xue Li bought the most popular gift set at the time. Yu Qing's eyes turned red when he saw Xue Li paying.
Such a small thing actually costs a hundred dollars!
Compared to her several months' salary.
Xue Li noticed that Yu Qing was not in a good mood, so he asked, "Doctor Yu, what's wrong? You seem to be in a bad mood all of a sudden?"
"fine."
Yu Qing let out a long breath.
Although I was prepared, I was still shocked by the prices in the capital. "By the way, you can't call me Doctor Yu anymore. You have to call me Yu Qing."
Dr. Yu sounds too official and doesn't seem like a couple in a free love relationship.
"Is Yu Qing too serious?"
“A little bit.”
Xue Li asked tentatively: "How about I call you Aqing, or Qingqing?"
Hearing Xue Li's voice, Yu Qing got goosebumps all over his body.
From childhood to adulthood, apart from her biological father, no man had ever called her by her name so intimately. "How about calling me Comrade Yu Qing? If your parents ask, just say that this is in line with our Northwest culture."
Hearing this, Xue Li curled his lips and complained quietly: "It would be more friendly to call Doctor Yu."
"What did you say?" Yu Qing didn't hear what he said clearly.
"nothing."
Xue Li quickly interrupted him.
Ten minutes later, they arrived at the Xue family compound, which was the old house of the Xue family's ancestors. Thanks to their superb medical skills, their house was not confiscated in the past few years.
So it has been preserved.
Entering the Xue family compound, Yu Qing smelled the fragrance of various herbs. He sniffed and his eyes gradually lit up: "I smell the scent of old ginseng."
The word "local ginseng" reminded Xue Li of something. He approached Yu Qing and whispered, "If my parents give you ginseng, you must accept it. Let's take it back to help Captain Huo replenish his body."
"Ah? Send ginseng."
"Yeah." Xue Li replied.
His mother especially liked to give ginseng as gifts to others.
We have given away ginseng that is ten years old, a hundred years old, or even several thousand years old!
The Xue family compound is much larger than the building allocated by the military region, and one has to pass through a small entrance hall to reach the main hall.
"Is this my sister-in-law?"
Suddenly, a short boy appeared in Yu Qing's sight. The boy was wearing a Zhongshan suit and holding a medical book in his hand. He asked in a spirited manner.
Xue Li looked at the little kid and said, "It's none of your business."
After a few years, when I returned to the Xue family, my younger brother, whom I had hardly seen, liked to stick to me and was always hanging around me, which was annoying to see.
Yu Qing nudged Xue Li with his elbow and said unhappily: "How can you talk to a child like that?"
"That's right." Xue Chongsui echoed.
He immediately introduced himself: "Hello, sister-in-law. I am your biological brother. My name is Xue Chongsui. Chong means high mountains and steep cliffs, and Sui means every year brings us to this day."
