Chapter 368 Does She Really Not Want to Pay Attention to Me?
Song Jinsheng agreed to all of them.
"How are you and your brother-in-law doing lately?"
Every time Song Yuntang heard Song Jinsheng mention the word "brother-in-law", he wanted to laugh.
I used to complain about Xu Qingye’s old age, but now I call him brother-in-law and it becomes easier to call him that.
"We are fine. He will take part in the autumn exam next year and has a lot of schoolwork lately. I am also busy lately and am not at home most of the time during the day."
We are almost home.
After Song Yuntang opened the gate, he led Song Jinsheng in.
"He has recovered from his illness, and you need to take good care of him, don't let his body get damaged again." Song Jinsheng followed her into the yard, "I don't care about how he was in the past, but now that you're married to him, he has to consider your future. Passing the imperial examination is important, but you can't neglect your health either."
It is not easy for a woman to support herself without a man at home.
Song Yuntang smiled and said, "Don't worry, second brother, I'm here to watch over him, and there will be no problem with his health."
"Of course I trust your medical skills, but you are worried that your brother-in-law will not take care of his own health?" After a pause, Song Jinsheng said, "Sister, there is one more thing I want to ask you."
Song Yuntang turned around.
"What's up?"
Song Jinsheng scratched his head and asked embarrassedly.
"Which girl did you propose to me before? Mother asked me twice before, and I evaded the question each time. I'm worried that if she asks me again this time, and I can't answer her again, she'll probably blame me."
He will be nineteen next New Year.
I have lived for nineteen years and I am most afraid of being nagged by my mother.
It was fine in the past, but now he doesn't want to listen to nagging more and more. Instead of spending time on it, he might as well get things done properly and have some peace and quiet.
Song Yuntang didn't hide it anymore, he shook his head helplessly, smiled and said, "It's Mu Qiu."
"What?" Song Jinsheng was stunned for a moment, "Mu Qiu?"
Song Yuntang looked at him.
"Why? Second brother doesn't like it?"
Song Jinsheng hurriedly shook his head, not knowing what he was feeling for a moment.
"Not really, I just didn't expect it to be her."
Song Yuntang smiled.
"I thought that my second brother would be able to notice it, but I didn't expect that you haven't discovered it yet."
Song Jinsheng looked embarrassed.
"Does Mu Qiu know about this?"
Song Yuntang nodded, "Of course I know."
Song Jinsheng wiped his face.
"This is difficult..."
"What's wrong?" Song Yuntang was puzzled.
"I told her a few days ago that I had a fiancée and asked her to keep her distance from me. During that time, she asked me to go with her to sort out the goods or go shopping for something, but I either refused or asked Tu Shi and Zhi Xia to go with her. Later, she became busy and simply ignored me. I didn't want to coax her. Did she really not want to pay attention to me?"
Thinking of this, Song Jinsheng wished he could dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it.
If he had known earlier that the person his sister introduced to him was Mu Qiu, he would have been very attentive without Mu Qiu calling him.
Song Yuntang glanced in his direction.
"Originally, I wanted to let you meet your fiancé before the engagement, but you said that your elder brother and sister-in-law had never met each other before they got married, so I took the initiative to arrange the engagement between you and Mu Qiu. Now I want to know, what did your second brother think after he knew that his fiancée was Mu Qiu?"
Song Jinsheng scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed.
"At first I thought you were talking to me about someone of the same age. Because I have a good relationship with Mu Dong, I have always treated Mu Qiu as my sister. This girl is honest, capable and kind. She is quite good, but she is a few years younger than me. I was thinking that I would be wronging her."
Seeing that he was not disgusted, Song Yuntang looked at him and said, "Since you are satisfied, when you return to the provincial capital, you can pay more attention and pick a gift to appease her. Mu Qiu is a good girl. If you can't handle it well, you can't blame me for not arranging something for you if your fiancée flies away."
Song Jinsheng smiled and nodded.
"Okay, I'll remember that."
Now that I think about it, it’s no wonder that Tang’er always asked him to repay Mu Qiu’s favor when they were in Cile Town. So this was the reason.
She is really patient.
If I hadn't asked her today, she probably wouldn't have told me.
Song Yuntang took out a gift box from the house.
"The box contains a longevity lock that I had customized at a jewelry store. Keep it, brother."
Song Jinsheng reached out and took it.
"Okay, I'll pass it on to your nephew when the time comes."
…
As soon as Song Jinsheng left, Xu Qingye went home with the lunch box.
Seeing Song Yuntang at home, he looked a little surprised.
"Tang'er didn't go to the clinic today?"
Song Yuntang smiled and said, "I went there. My second brother came over and said that my eldest sister-in-law was about to give birth and asked me if I would go back to Rongshu Village. I didn't really want to go, so I brought him home to get the gifts prepared for my soon-to-be-born nephew."
Xu Qingye nodded.
"Why don't you let him stay for dinner before leaving?"
"He was in a hurry to reply. He left before I could even finish talking about this. You should eat first. I'm going to the clinic."
As Song Yuntang said this, she was about to go out to the clinic, but Xu Qingye grabbed her hand.
"Since you're back, why don't you have dinner at home before going?"
Song Yuntang looked at him. The clinic was too busy these days. He left after breakfast in the morning, and stayed in the clinic for lunch and dinner. He was even busier at night until dark.
Xu Qingye would heat up a hot water bottle and go to the clinic to pick her up every day. He was extremely considerate.
But after getting home, he read his book while she was either thinking about medicinal herbs or reading storybooks, and they rarely had a chance to say a few words.
The way they get along is like they are living together and they don't interfere with each other.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Xu Qingye let go of her hand.
"If you have something to do, go do it first."
Song Yuntang thought, it's already time for dinner, no one is at home today, Xu Wencheng and Nian'er are both helping out in the clinic, so it's a rare chance for them to be alone together, he can eat at home first and then go.
He turned past Xu Qingye and walked towards the main hall.
"Then I'll eat and then go to the clinic."
The man's eyes were gentle, and he quickly followed her with the food box in his hand.
After placing the food box on the table, he went to the kitchen and lit a charcoal stove and placed it under the table. Then he opened the food box and took out the food inside one by one.
There is a charcoal stove burning under the table, which can drive away some of the cold.
"The clinic is so busy, don't you plan to hire a few more doctors?"
Song Yuntang reached out and took the chopsticks he handed over.
"It's not the number of doctors that matters. Considering the size of our clinic, three doctors are enough. We recently accepted four new apprentices and bought two servants from the dental shop. Together with Wencheng, Nian'er, Caoshun, Changgen and Aunt Wu from the kitchen, there are thirteen people in total."
With so many apprentices and helpers, all matters other than diagnosis and treatment can be left to them, which can save a lot of trouble.
Xu Qingye first picked up a piece of meat for her.
"Teacher will go to the hot spring villa to spend the winter next month. If you are still busy next month, I can go and help you."
