Chapter 253
After the New Year, Ge Lijuan did not go back to Gangcheng. She followed Uncle Ge back to the provincial capital, and the brother and sister began to live out their retirement in the provincial capital.
But Ge Lijuan had never contacted Qin Xiang on her own initiative, and Qin Xiang had never contacted Ge Lijuan on her own initiative. It was a little strange to hear that Ge Lijuan was looking for her.
"What do you want to talk to me about?"
Ge Lijuan said anxiously, "Qin Xiang, your uncle is sick and in the hospital. Can you contact Huaiqing?"
Qin Xiang was stunned. "It seems he's out of the country. What do you want to talk to him about?"
"Go back to Hong Kong?" Ge Lijuan asked anxiously, "But your uncle is sick. What should we do now?"
Qin Xiang couldn't help but say, "If you're sick, go to the hospital."
Ge Lijuan frowned. "Is this hospital okay?"
It seems that this indicates a strong lack of trust in domestic medical care.
Qin Xiang was speechless. "So you're looking for Meng Huaiqing everywhere now. Will he be able to treat his illness when he returns? While the medical conditions in China aren't as good as in Gangcheng, no matter how bad it is, it's still the provincial capital, and the best medical care in the province. Sending him there is worse than lying there in agony. Listen to me now. You must have bodyguards with you. Have them drive Uncle Ge to the hospital, specifically the Provincial Hospital. I'll go buy a ticket back."
"Okay, I understand." Ge Lijuan was so anxious that she was dumbfounded. She didn't send him to the hospital first but went to find Meng Huaiqing.
After hanging up the phone, Qin Xiang went downstairs and asked Qin Dong to ask Assistant Liu to buy her a ticket back to the provincial capital. She then went back to school and asked for three days off.
Professor Sun was puzzled. "Why are you asking for leave now?"
Qin Xiang explained briefly, "He doesn't know when he'll be back yet. I have to go check on him."
Logically speaking, they are not married, so it doesn't matter whether they go or not, but it is different for Uncle Ge. Uncle Ge is a great help to them. Even if they don't visit Ge Lijuan, they have to visit Uncle Ge. They will feel uneasy if they don't go back to see him.
After taking leave and packing her luggage, Qin Xiang returned to the store. Qin Dong had already bought the tickets and Zhao Ping was also waiting.
Now when Qin Xiang is in the capital, he can act alone, but whenever he leaves the capital, Zhao Ping will follow him.
They also hired a few security personnel later, but Qin Xiang was more confident in Zhao Ping.
Perhaps because he had taken flights so many times, Zhao Ping was no longer as afraid of flying as before, but he still sat there motionless once he got on the plane.
The plane landed at six o'clock in the evening. I originally planned to find a tricycle to go back, but unexpectedly, Ge Lijuan's driver had already driven over to pick me up.
Qin Xiang didn't hesitate and got into the car with Zhao Ping. On the way, he asked about Uncle Ge's situation.
The driver briefly explained that the dizziness and nausea were caused by a cerebral infarction, and that he was now on an IV drip, which seemed to have relieved the symptoms.
Qin Xiang couldn't help but frown. Cerebral infarction is a common disease among the elderly. She must be alone. Otherwise, if rescue is not timely once an attack occurs, it will be easy to die.
Fortunately, Ge Lijuan did not delay for long. If she had waited for a long time to find a hospital in Hong Kong to go through the customs clearance procedures, she might have been gone.
After getting off the car, several people went directly to the inpatient department. They wanted to ask the doctor about the situation, but the attending doctor was not there and the doctor on duty didn't know much about Mr. Ge's condition.
Uncle Ge had already woken up and was receiving an IV drip. When he saw Qin Xiang coming, he was like seeing a savior. "I've already said I'm not feeling well anymore and can go back, but this old lady just won't agree. Qin Xiang, come and save me."
Qin Xiang was at a loss for words and went forward to see Ge Lijuan sitting by the window angrily.
It was obvious that the brother and sister had just had an argument.
Qin Xiang went over and looked at Uncle Ge and said, "Uncle, you're still sick and you want to go home. Just stay here and wait until the doctor says you're well before you go back."
To be honest, the medical conditions in the capital are definitely better than those in the provincial capital. However, this old man was very stubborn. After spending the New Year in the capital, he couldn't wait to come back and lived in that small house and refused to move.
Ge Lijuan found a small courtyard nearby and asked him to move in with her, but he was reluctant, saying he was used to being alone. If Ge Lijuan hadn't gone to look for him that morning, she might not have known he had fainted.
Uncle Ge snorted, "I'm not that delicate. I'm fine."
People in their seventies, no matter how healthy they look, can be very serious once they get sick.
Hearing him say that, Ge Lijuan glared angrily, "It's okay, it's okay. You're already fainted and you're still saying it's okay. I don't need to care about you."
Seeing that the brother and sister were about to quarrel again, Qin Xiang hurriedly persuaded them, "Okay, stop arguing. This is a hospital. People from other wards will come to find us later."
Ge Lijuan snorted, "This is a single room. No one else lives on this floor."
Qin Xiang was speechless. Okay, you are a rich man.
These days everyone is short of money. Unless one is extremely wealthy, no one would be willing to live in a single room, and few people can afford to be hospitalized.
Late in the evening, Qin Xiang asked Ge Lijuan to go back and she would take care of the situation. Ge Lijuan was old and could not bear it any longer, so she went back to rest.
Qin Xiang said to Uncle Ge, "You go to sleep."
Zhao Ping said, "Why don't you go and rest, I'll watch here."
Qin Xiang said, "Okay, I'll sleep in the first half of the night, and you sleep in the second half."
After the two of them made their arrangements, Qin Xiang lay down to sleep, but her mind was in a mess and it took her a long time to fall asleep, and when she did, she began to dream.
As a result, this time she dreamed that Meng Huaiqing was lying on a cold operating table. He said he was going to have surgery. When she asked him what surgery he wanted, Meng Huaiqing just smiled and looked at her without saying anything.
Then she saw the doctor holding a knife and asking Meng Huaiqing to take off his pants.
Then Qin Xiang woke up in fright.
It was dark outside and the night was quiet. Zhao Ping was dozing off on a chair nearby.
Qin Xiang couldn't sleep, so she got up and shook Zhao Ping, "Brother Zhao, you go to bed and sleep. I'll just stay here and watch over you."
Zhao Ping said, "You go to sleep, I'm not sleepy."
Qin Xiang shook her head, "No, I can't sleep."
I looked at my watch and it was already one in the morning.
Qin Xiang was wondering, where is Meng Huaiqing now?
And that dream was a bit scary. What kind of surgery was that?
Cut that skin?
Qin Xiang was amused by her own thoughts, shook her head and glanced at Uncle Ge, it seemed that nothing was wrong.
Ge Lijuan came over at dawn, with bodyguards behind her carrying several lunch boxes.
Someone propped up the table and opened it to the bed, with dishes and chopsticks placed on it. There was also a dining table in the single room, which was also filled with food.
Ge Lijuan said, "Just breakfast, we'll talk later if it's not enough."
Qin Xiang's mouth twitched as she looked at the food on the table. She suspected that Ge Lijuan had emptied out all the breakfast shops on the street, and still said it was not enough.
Is she a glutton?
And the other person's pomp and circumstance reminded her of Meng Huaiqing's pomp and circumstance on the train when she first went to the capital.
It turns out that this is a ridiculous tradition passed down from generation to generation.
Qin Xiang and Zhao Ping were having breakfast when Uncle Ge started to find fault with his breakfast. Ge Lijuan was so angry that she took it away from him and said, "Then don't eat it. You are old and you are always sick."
"You!" Uncle Ge was furious.
Qin Xiang hurriedly advised, "Grandma Ge, please don't be angry with him. He's afraid of anger to begin with. Let's just go along with him. After all, he's a patient now. If he gets angry again and has problems, won't you be worried?"
"Hmph, I'm not in a hurry." Although she said that, Ge Lijuan didn't bother to argue with Uncle Ge. She put down her things and went out.
As soon as she left, Uncle Ge sighed, "I want to go back."
Qin Xiang refused directly, "No."
Uncle Ge felt a little lonely.
Qin Xiang suggested, "Master, come back to the capital with me, okay? It's not convenient for you to stay here, and it would be troublesome for us to go back and forth if anything happens, is that okay?"
Uncle Ge was still not very happy.
Qin Xiang didn't know how to persuade him.
After two days, I finally contacted Meng Huaiqing, but he was still abroad and couldn't come back for a day or two.
Uncle Ge's condition has stabilized now, so let him finish his work first.
Qin Xiang also caught the evening flight back to the capital.
Before leaving, I asked Uncle Ge what he thought, but he still didn't want to leave.
There was no other way, so Qin Xiang could only leave with Zhao Ping.
As soon as she went downstairs, Ge Lijuan chased her out. Qin Xiang asked politely, "Do you have anything else to do?"
"I want to talk about Huaiqing." Ge Lijuan looked at Qin Xiang and said.
Qin Xiang's smile faded. "What can he say? We are doing well now."
Ge Lijuan sighed and said, "I know you have some opinions about me because of what happened before. You are right to have such opinions. I am also very happy. At least it shows that you are wholeheartedly devoted to Huai Qing."
Qin Xiang stood still. Ge Lijuan said, "I just hope that you and Huai Qing can be well. You are a good woman."
Qin Xiang still didn't say anything.
Ge Lijuan said nothing more and waved her hand, "Call Huaiqing when you have time. I felt that he was not in a good mood when I called him this morning."
"Okay, goodbye." Qin Xiang waved and turned to leave.
Ge Lijuan couldn't help sighing as she looked at Qin Xiang's back.
As a grandmother, she knew exactly what her grandson was thinking, but Qin Xiang still had no intention of getting married. There were so many famous ladies in Gangcheng who liked him, but he didn't even glance at them, and was completely focused on Qin Xiang.
I don’t know when Huaiqing will be able to achieve his wish.
Even if they say good things and say they will be in love forever and never separate.
But life is so long, without marriage to maintain it, will such a relationship be solid?
He knew his grandson very well. He looked gentle, but in fact he was very stubborn. Once he made up his mind, he would never change.
He had been rude to women for the first twenty-six years, but after meeting Qin Xiang, he never looked at other women again.
Ge Lijuan sighed.
It’s not that Qin Xiang is a bad person, it’s just that she feels that her grandson has worked too hard.
Qin Xiang still had some time when she arrived at the airport. Thinking of what Ge Lijuan said, she went to find a phone and called Meng Huaiqing.
It took a long time for the call to be connected, but it was a bodyguard who answered the phone and said that Meng Huaiqing was still resting.
Qin Xiang briefly asked about the situation and hung up the phone after finding out that he was just tired.
But I don’t know why, I always feel a little uneasy.
Qin Xiang shook his head, got on the plane with Zhao Ping, and headed for the capital.
After missing three days of classes, Qin Xiang had to find time to make up for it, check her notes, and look up information in her books.
After May, the weather suddenly became hot, and more and more people wearing skirts appeared on the streets.
The summer commercials shot by Choi Seol-ah and Lee Soo-ryeon are still being broadcast on two channels in rotation, and suddenly they became very popular.
Each branch has a large shipment volume, and the factory operates in two shifts. I can remember that there is no time when we are idle.
Qin Xiang took advantage of the weekend to go to Yong'an County again.
After not seeing it for a while, it has changed a lot. The three-story factory building has been built and the next step is topping out.
In the dormitory area, the two dormitory buildings have been built for the most part.
Jia Fugui observed Qin Xiang's expression as he spoke, "Our progress is no slower than the other side. The dormitory building will be topped out in two days. The weather is good right now, so the cement will dry quickly. We'll be finished in seven or eight days at the latest."
Qin Xiang looked at the factory building, which had already reached a certain scale, and felt a sense of pride in his heart.
All the large machines and sewing machines needed by the garment factory were purchased by Meng Huaiqing from Gangcheng, and the supply channels there also provided the most advanced foreign technology.
It’s just that it’s expensive to go directly from abroad to the mainland, but the price is much cheaper if you go through the port city.
It is really expensive, but it is really worth it. Once the factory is built, the machines can be shipped here.
Qin Xiang praised Jia Fugui's work and sent eight tables of banquets from a big hotel in the city to treat the workers at the construction site to a good meal. "When the work is finished, please go directly to the county hotel for a meal."
The workers were immediately excited.
After coming out of the factory, Qin Xiang went to take another look at the opposite side. Meng Huaiqing's people were guarding there and the progress was good. However, the electronics factory occupied a larger area, and Meng Huaiqing was rich, so he built many factory buildings and dormitories, which had now reached a certain scale.
Qin Xiang returned to the capital, but the excitement in his heart still could not dissipate.
Looking at the time, he thought it was probably still night abroad, so he suppressed his emotions and did not call Meng Huaiqing.
As a result, she dreamed of Meng Huaiqing again at night.
In the dream, he was lying on the operating table covered in blood, with his pants all wet with blood. Qin Xiang wanted to ask him what was wrong, but he couldn't say a word.
Qin Xiang woke up from her dream and looked at the sky outside. It was already getting light.
I took a long-distance calling card and went outside to find a place that could make international calls. It took a while before someone answered. "Qin Xiang?"
When Qin Xiang heard his voice, her heart relaxed. "Haven't you rested yet?"
Meng Huaiqing smiled, "It's still early, why don't you sleep a little longer?"
Qin Xiang felt relieved and said half-seriously, "I miss you so much that I can't sleep."
"Really?" Meng Huaiqing couldn't help laughing again, "I'll take a plane back to Hong Kong City tomorrow and take care of some things before returning."
Qin Xiang nodded, "Okay."
The two chatted for a while, and gradually other people appeared on the road. Qin Xiang said, "Hang up, I have to go to class soon."
In summer, the sun rises early, before five o'clock.
Qin Xiang had breakfast on the roadside on the way back, then went back to pack up and go to class.
Within two days, news came from the provincial capital that Mr. Ge had been discharged from the hospital.
And Ge Lijuan somehow persuaded Uncle Ge to decide to come to the capital to retire.
Qin Xiang asked someone to clean up Meng Huaiqing's house, clean everywhere, and also tidied up the room where the two old people had lived before.
At this time, Meng Huaiqing called back and said that he had arrived in Gangcheng.
Qin Xiang asked him, "When will you come to the capital?"
Meng Huaiqing smiled, "It will take another two days. I'm busy with something."
Qin Xiang nodded, and thinking that October was approaching, Qin Xiang couldn't help but remind him of some things.
She then contacted the stock broker she had worked with before and asked him to help her buy some more stocks.
Some things are hard to give up once you’ve tasted their sweetness.
Qin Xiang plans to buy some more before October comes.
Over the past month, she has gradually recalled things from her past life and asked the other party to help her buy some stocks.
Now I tell you, I still have to buy some.
The other party was familiar with Qin Xiang, so he said more, "Your purchase of these seems to be very stable at the moment, and the chance of an increase is not great."
Qin Xiang smiled and said, "It's okay. Anyway, you've helped me very well. Start selling on the last day of September and sell as long as the price is right. You must sell everything by mid-October at the latest."
When she saw the factory, she saw infinite hope. Since the stock market still had a bull market for a few months, she would make some more money. She wanted to have a house, a car, and some working capital for the future.
She closed her eyes, finished her instructions, and breathed a sigh of relief.
If possible, she would go to the port city in person to guard it before mid-October, and she would not be careless at all.
Two days later, Meng Huaiqing suddenly called her and asked, "Qin Xiang, do you still mean what you said before?"
Qin Xiang was stunned. Which sentence?
She thought carefully about what they had said before Meng Huaiqing left, and was stunned.
Why ask this now?
