Hearing this, Shen Mingzhu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Physical matters could not be delayed, so the next day, she took Peck to the hospital.

The test results showed that it was clinical stage II liver cirrhosis, which was not serious, with symptoms of venous obstruction and varicose veins.

By taking medication and paying attention to diet, the condition can be relieved and improved, and prevented from getting worse.

You should know that once cirrhosis reaches clinical stage V, there is a great risk of deteriorating into liver cancer.

When Pei Yang returned home in the evening, Shen Mingzhu told him about this.

"The doctor said that we should eat a light diet and quit smoking and drinking. Especially alcohol, which is extremely harmful to the liver. You must keep an eye on your uncle and don't let him drink. Tomorrow I will ask Sister Yu to collect all the alcohol in the house and put it in the family compound."

Pei Yang also took it seriously as it was related to Pei Ke's health. "I will watch over my uncle and not let him drink."

Shen Mingzhu was still a little worried.

Although Peck lived with them, he was their elder after all, and they could not restrict him like a prisoner.

Besides, Peck has his own house on the next street and he lives there from time to time, so there are always times when they can't keep an eye on him.

"It's better to find a companion for my uncle as soon as possible. He's bound to be lonely and just want to drink a little. Once he has a companion and someone to talk to, his life will be better. By the way, we can also urge him to quit smoking and drinking."

Pei Yang wholeheartedly agreed with Shen Mingzhu's idea.

Shen Mingzhu is also a person of action. Two days later, she brought Pei Ke to the blind date table.

The woman's name was Cui Lianying, who was five years younger than Pei Ke. She was an old colleague of Feng Huiying in the previous factory. Her husband died a few years ago, and she raised three children by herself by working in the match factory.

Now that her three children have started their own families and careers, she has been helping her son and daughter-in-law take care of her grandchildren at home after being laid off.

After living together for a long time, conflicts are inevitable between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law. Cui Lianying thought about finding another partner so that she would not interfere in the lives of her son and daughter-in-law.

To be honest, Cui Lianying doesn't look that good.

Maybe it was because raising three children was too hard over the years. Although he was a few years younger than Peck, he looked older than Peck.

He is thin, with a dark complexion, blue eyes and white lips, and looks haggard as if he has been drained of life.

Although she knew that Cui Lianying was a good person, Shen Mingzhu felt that Cui Lianying was not worthy of Pei Ke based on his appearance, so she never arranged for the two to meet.

Although Pei Ke is older than Cui Lianying, he looks like he is in his early forties. He is dressed exquisitely and looks quite elegant and handsome if you look closely.

She thought that Peck could find a woman who was more compatible with him in every way.

I took Pei Ke to meet someone today, with the mentality of getting things over with as soon as possible.

Cui Lianying was an extremely shy and timid woman. During the whole meal, she hardly dared to meet her and Pei Ke's eyes, and when she spoke, she only uttered the syllables of "um", "ah" and "oh".

Shen Mingzhu's dissatisfaction with this increased even more.

Although she looked down on Cui Lianying, she still took out the gift she had prepared after dinner.

Two boxes of moon cakes, and cakes and candies produced by the food factory.

Just consider it as an apology for making Cui Lianying make a wasted trip.

On the way back by car.

Although she felt that Pei Ke would not be interested in Cui Lianying, she still politely asked Pei Ke about his impression of Cui Lianying.

"I think Xiao Cui is a nice guy. We can get in touch with him again."

Pei Ke's answer obviously exceeded Shen Mingzhu's expectations, and she didn't know how to continue the conversation for a moment.

What she originally wanted to say was to find someone better for Peck.

"Uncle, you don't have to rush to make a decision. You can look around more and maybe you'll find someone who suits you better."

"No, I'm already this old, there's nothing I can be picky about."

Shen Mingzhu felt that Pei Ke's idea was not right and was about to say something about it, but then she changed her mind and realized that this was originally about finding a companion for Pei Ke, so it would be enough if he could approve of her.

Different people have different tastes.

After thinking about it this way, Shen Mingzhu also came to her senses and began to give Pei Ke advice on how to contact and get along with Cui Lianying.

At night, lying on the bed, Shen Mingzhu told Pei Yang about the blind date that day.

After he finished speaking, I couldn't help but sigh, "Could it be that my uncle has been single for so long that he thinks every woman he sees is pretty?"

Pei Yang was amused by her words and said to her with his head tilted, "You are not satisfied with Aunt Cui because you think she is not pretty enough, but my uncle is looking for a companion, a woman who can live a good life."

"You think Aunt Cui is dull and quiet, but think about it from another angle. She's not noisy and doesn't make trouble every other day. Isn't that good?"

"My uncle is not stupid. He knows that beautiful women have bad tempers..."

Shen Mingzhu kicked him and said, "Who are you saying has a bad temper?"

"I didn't say you..."

Shen Mingzhu kicked again, "You mean I'm not pretty?"

Look, you still don’t admit that you have a bad temper.

Pei Yang reached out and grabbed her feet, kneading them flatteringly, "Stop kicking, you might hurt your feet, and I'll feel bad."

Shen Mingzhu pulled her foot back in annoyance, turned over and faced the man with her back, "Go to sleep, turn off the lights."

Pei Yang laughed, turned off the desk lamp with his backhand, then lay down against her back, with his arm domineeringly across her waist.

The man's chest felt like a furnace and his palms were hot.

"It's hot, don't get close to me."

"That's easy. I'll help you take off your clothes. You'll feel cool after you take them off."

"Go away~"

…

In the blink of an eye, it was the seventh day of July.

After breakfast, Peck went back to his room, changed into clean clothes, and trimmed his hair meticulously with hair wax.

Today is the traditional Chinese Valentine's Day. Pei Ke and Cui Lianying made an appointment to go to the temple to attend a worship ceremony, and then have a vegetarian meal in the temple at noon.

This was Pei Ke and Cui Lianying's first official date after their blind date.

"Mingzhu, Xiaoyang, I'll be leaving first. Ziheng, Guoguo, see you in the evening."

Guoguo was eating a flying pancake with great relish. Hearing this, he raised his greasy little paw and waved to Pei Ke, "Uncle, I bow to you."

Peck was cheerful and not angry.

Shen Mingzhu patted her daughter's lower abdomen and asked, "Who taught you that?"

Guoguo blinked her crow-feather eyelashes, "Brother Xiaoyun."

"Don't say that again. It's rude."

"Oh, all right."

After answering, he lowered his head and continued to eat the flying pancake.

The flying pancakes made by Shen Mingzhu are golden, thin and crispy, with pineapple jam filling. The whole family loves them.

After teaching her daughter a lesson, Shen Mingzhu stood up, picked up the things on the coffee table, and chased after him.

"Uncle."

Pei Ke had just walked to the car when he heard the voice and turned around, "Mingzhu, what's wrong?"

Shen Mingzhu handed over the item in her hand. "This is the women's skin care product I asked someone to buy. You can give it to Aunt Cui as a Chinese Valentine's Day gift."

People of this generation have no awareness of celebrating the traditional Chinese Valentine's Day, let alone thinking about preparing gifts.

Pei Ke not only asked her for advice on what to wear today, but also borrowed Pei Yang's car. He was obviously very concerned about his date with Cui Lianying, and as a junior, she should help. (End of this chapter)
