"Yes, absolutely," Ke Meiyu nodded repeatedly.
Yao Yiqin and Hang Yutong were amused by them and covered their mouths to laugh.
Knowing that he could barely cook anything himself, Song Yanbai asked an aunt to help prepare a meal: scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stewed chicken with potatoes, stir-fried bean sprouts with meat, tofu with scallions, meatball and vermicelli soup, and braised eggplant with garlic and meat.
He went to the school cafeteria and bought a large portion of fried fish, a plate of braised meat, and a large basket of steamed buns!
Yao Yiqin ate a rather light meal, just a bowl of poached egg, chicken soup, shredded pork, and hand-pulled noodles.
Ke Meiyu smiled at the Song couple and said, "Then, I won't stand on ceremony?"
They nodded with amusement, "We invited you here not so that you would be too polite."
Therefore, Ke Meiyu buried her head in her food and ate with great gusto. The aroma of the food made Hang Yutong, who didn't eat much and was known by her family as someone who ate cat food, also have a big appetite. She puffed out her cheeks and ate heartily.
The table full of food was completely devoured. Hang Yutong clutched her swollen stomach, feeling embarrassed as she looked at the Song couple. It was her first time being a guest in their home, and she had been so unladylike…
However, Ke Meiyu didn't have such concerns. In fact, since arriving in the apocalypse, she had gotten used to liquidating her assets.
After the meal, Song Yanbai asked the aunt to help clean up, and then he asked Qin Yuanjiu and his wife with a smile, "What are your plans?"
“We have a small courtyard at home. I was originally going to sell it so I could take Xiaoqin to Kyoto for medical treatment.”
"We don't need it anymore, so we discussed it last night and decided to give that courtyard house to Comrade Ke. If you still like the two-story house, I'll ask the teacher for you later."
"We will do our best to help in any way that we can!"
Qin Yuanjiu looked at Ke Meiyu.
"Ninth Brother is the head of the family. You're in charge. I'll listen to you!"
The eldest sister paid for it, and she was very sensible as the one spending the money.
Hang Yutong and Yao Yiqin smiled in unison.
Seeing Qin Yuanjiu doting on Ke Meiyu, they actually felt that Ke Meiyu was completely under Qin Yuanjiu's control! However, Ke Meiyu seemed to be enjoying it.
“I know that housing is very tight in every workplace. Brother Song and Sister Qin are both high-achieving students and both work, and they were only allocated a small courtyard house. We can’t take what others have. Besides, you will have children in the future. You can’t be like other families, crammed into this small room of about ten square meters, can you?”
Qin Yuanjiu's words struck a chord with the Song couple.
“If you lose your house, you can apply again. Last time I used Xiaoqin’s quota, and this time I’m applying in my own name. If you don’t get in this batch, there’s always the next batch,” Song Yanbo said with a smile.
“We both have high professional titles and connections, so applying for another one will only take two or three years.”
Compared to a loved one's health, a house is nothing more than an external possession!
Having been through so much, they've long since come to terms with it.
Moreover, this was the only way they could think of to thank Ke Meiyu.
Yao Yiqin smiled and said, "Yu Bao'er, Comrade Qin, you don't need to think too much. Even so, we can't express our gratitude to you enough."
“You should accept it. In fact, my husband and I are the ones who benefit. With an illness like mine, no matter where you go or how much money you spend, you can’t get a cure.”
Qin Yuanjiu shook his head: "There are seven of us studying in the provincial capital. A small courtyard house isn't spacious enough. We might as well just buy a two-story house."
"So we'll have to trouble Brother Song to ask us if this building is for rent or sale, and what the price is."
“Our baby is treating Sister Qin out of the proper duty of a doctor. How could we possibly have the audacity to accept such an expensive consultation fee from your small hospital?”
"Besides, aren't you relatives? There's no need to be so polite between relatives."
Ke Meiyu nodded repeatedly and said with a smile, "Brother Song, Sister Qin, things that can be solved with money are really no problem for our Comrade Qin."
“You wouldn’t believe it, he used to live in a cowshed, but he built the first brick house in our village all by himself, and even bought a three-round watch and a radio.”
"Some people were jealous and went directly to the organization to report him. Guess what happened?"
The three people shook their heads in surprise and worry.
"The bricks were a gift from the brick and tile factory to thank Comrade Qin for his technical support, and the 'three turns and one sound' (referring to a radio, a watch, a watch, and a watch) were rewards that Comrade Qin received for helping the comrades in the bureau solve cases! No one in the organization could say a word against it."
"Therefore, you must trust Comrade Qin's abilities."
Song Yanbai and Yao Yiqin exchanged a glance, realizing that they were the ones who were being vulgar.
Song Yanbai glanced at his watch, stood up, and said with a smile, "Alright, then we'll shamelessly renege on our debt this time. When you come to the provincial capital, you must treat us like close relatives."
"My teachers just finished eating around this time, shall we go over and meet them for a chat?"
Yao Yiqin was still recovering and seemed a little listless.
She smiled as she saw them off, then went back to bed to rest.
On the way, Song Yanbai didn't hide anything and briefly introduced the situation of his master and his wife.
Before the establishment of Xinxiahua, the Xue couple were both from wealthy families and had received a modern education that combined traditional Chinese and Western styles.
They were once activists who led many famous movements. Moreover, they were learned and had a heart for the world. Many of the famous generals and important officials of the new China were their students!
These two are like two powerful figures, no wonder Kyoto Institute of Technology went to great lengths to invite them over.
Song Yanbai and Yao Yiqin are the Xue family's most prized disciples!
Qin Yuanjiu's expression was normal, but Ke Meiyu, who was a big fan of the novel, and Hang Yutong, a native of the area, were completely taken aback.
The person who opened the door was Song Yanbai's teacher's wife, a neatly dressed elderly woman.
She smiled and called out "Xiao Bai," and seeing the three beautiful young men and women behind him, her mood improved even more. She stepped aside to welcome them in and asked curiously, "Xiao Bai, who are these people? They're all so beautiful!"
“Madam, didn’t I tell you before that a young doctor was treating Xiaoqin? It’s this young Comrade Ke Meiyu,” Song Yanbai pointed to Ke Meiyu, “but in just one afternoon, Xiaoqin felt much better and stopped coughing. Moreover,” he said, his voice still trembling with excitement, “and Comrade Ke said that once Xiaoqin recovers, we can have a child!”
"Really? That's wonderful!" Grandma Xue said happily, then turned and called out, "Old man, come out quickly, we have a distinguished guest."
Master Xue came out and listened to his young disciple excitedly recount the story.
He stroked his beard, happy for the young couple whose relationship had been so tumultuous. He looked at Qin Yuanjiu and the other two with gentle eyes, "You are all good kids, come in and sit down!"
