Wu Guixiang: "Okay, old man, if you need anything, just call me."

After Wu Guixiang left, Mr. Gong and his friends picked up their chopsticks and started eating. The meat that the granddaughter brought to me was delicious. I didn't eat these before, but now my appetite is particularly good.

Why didn't you find a granddaughter earlier? Otherwise, you wouldn't have suffered so much. You are very sensible at such a young age.

Master Gong quickly recovered his mood and didn't want his two old friends to worry about him.

After finishing their meal, they did not go out, but sat in the pavilion in the palace's small courtyard, drinking tea and starting to play chess.

The chess skills of the players were similar, and they couldn't decide who was the winner after playing for a long time. Mr. Xiao said in a teasing manner, "I'm going back and I won't play anymore. I haven't won two games in a long time. There's nothing wrong with my chess skills. You must have cheated."

Master Gong said: "Old Man Xiao, I really admire you. If you can't win, then don't win. Why are you looking for excuses? It's not embarrassing to admit defeat."

Mr. Xiao said: "It's not embarrassing to admit defeat. The key is whether it's my fault or not. Why should I admit it? It must be you who made trouble. Otherwise, I wouldn't lose. I'm going back and I won't play with you anymore."

Master Gong said: "Old Xiao, you really can't afford to play. If you want to leave, leave quickly. I will find someone else to play with tomorrow."

During this period, the research institute and the medical research and development department were very busy. We tried many times and made it according to the drawings, but it always felt like it was stuck in one place and something was missing.

Especially in the medical research and development department, the drugs they developed were simply garbage compared to the samples brought by others. Other people's drugs could stop bleeding immediately, but the drugs they produced could only barely stop bleeding after several minutes. Unless they saw the samples with their own eyes, they really couldn't believe it.

There is such a magical medicine in the world. I don’t know which guy developed it. We really want to worship him and learn from him.

If you can give us some pointers, that would be even better. After all, we are eager to learn better things and benefit more mankind.

But as mentioned above, this guy is unwilling to sacrifice himself, and we have to let us handle it ourselves. We were particularly disappointed after hearing this news.

During this period, our medical research and development department neglected sleep and food every day, and even used meal time to make medicine, but it still could not achieve the effect that we were satisfied with, only slightly better than before.

This made them doubt their own abilities. Was there something wrong with the prescription or the herbs? They were puzzled and had no choice but to conduct multiple tests.

After that, the doctor even squeezed out his toilet time to work on these prescriptions. He finally saw some results, which were slightly better than before, but the dean was still not satisfied.

After all, their samples are there, and we haven't even achieved half of their results. Aren't we showing them out here in a disgrace to ourselves?

There was nothing they could do but to continue their research. Why could others make it but they couldn't? For this reason, they worked even harder.

As everyone was busy, time passed in the blink of an eye, and four months had passed in the blink of an eye. Now Xia Yunxuan's belly was very big, and she could only take a few steps without Xiao Yichen's support.

Fortunately, the edema was not particularly severe, just a little bit. This was all thanks to the spiritual spring water and Xiao Yichen's good care. After the autumn harvest, Xiao Yichen basically did not do any farm work and was taking care of Xia Yunxuan.

Several old men in Beijing, including parents on both sides, call every now and then to inquire about their daughters and daughters-in-law. If there is anything wrong, they must call them, and they will rush over immediately even if they have to take leave.

Xia Yunxuan still felt very happy, having so many family members who cared about her, and a tolerant husband. No matter how late it was, if she said she was hungry, Xiao Yichen would get up and cook for her. Sometimes she really couldn't bear to be so tired, so she would just take some food from the kitchen to fill her stomach.

She is more than seven months pregnant now, and there are still two months before the Chinese New Year. She may give birth during the Chinese New Year. After all, triplets will definitely be born early and will not wait until full term.

It's already very cold, and most families are in winter. Some young people in the village will go to the mountains when the snow is a little lighter to see if there are any rabbits or pheasants. If they are lucky, they can have a feast.

After all, the cats didn’t do any farm work throughout the winter, so there was no food. What food there was at home was only eaten once, so the food was saved.

Ji Yanfang and Xia Yunge are a bit pitiful. The Xia family was originally poor, and Xia Guohua even gambled away Ji Yanfang's money. She had no money to buy food for herself, and she didn't have enough to eat every day. Now she is very thin due to hunger.

She was four or five months pregnant, but she wore loose clothes so that no one knew she was pregnant and her belly was not noticeable at all. The aunties were all discussing whether she could raise the baby.

Xia Yunge gave birth prematurely. Because she worked too hard every day and didn't eat enough, she fell and gave birth to a daughter. Mrs. Li's eyes and nose were not eyes, so she had to do all the work, not to mention taking care of her during the confinement period.

Other people's babies are fed either chicken, eggs or milk powder, but she couldn't even get enough of simple meals. She had no milk and her baby was premature. She cried with hunger all day long and was as thin as a monkey. Old Lady Li was even more disgusted.

She was also scolded for being a good-for-nothing who gave birth to a loser and cried all the time, crying away all their family's fortunes.

The Laizi didn't care whether Xia Yunge lived or died. When she came back, she would do that kind of thing. Otherwise, she would not come back at all, no matter how Mrs. Li treated her.

It's good enough if she's not here. It's because she's not doing well outside, and Xia Yunge will be beaten up again when she comes back.

Xiao Jiajia and Gu Beihuai became a couple because of Ji Yanfang's mischief. Xiao Jiajia was saved by Gu Beihuai, and when others saw them, their relationship was exposed. Originally, they had a little affection for each other.

The two of them agreed that when they returned home after the Chinese New Year, they would go to the Xiao family to propose marriage. Of course, Xiao Yichen called his grandparents, and they had no objection, after all, they knew each other well.

But I didn't expect that my daughter was only there to take care of her daughter-in-law, and ended up finding a partner for herself.

They are considered a good match. Jiang Yuwan just thinks Gu Beihuai's mother is not that good. Apart from this point, she is very satisfied. However, Gu Beihuai has agreed that he will move out after marriage and will not live in that house. Now he has a family.

The Xiao family was quite satisfied when they found out. After all, who doesn't want to live with a biased mother-in-law?
