Yan Rushan glanced at Yuxiu and nodded, "That's fine."
"No, no, we can just take a walk; Yuxiu is pregnant and may give birth at any time, we can't let...Comrade Yan take us there." Feng Jianhong immediately waved her hand and refused to agree no matter what.
Old Master Yan was secretly satisfied, but he did not give up testing the Zhong family. "There are so many people here with Yuxiu, it's okay."
"That won't work either." Feng Jianhong's face changed. "Yuxiu must have had a difficult pregnancy with such a big belly. You also said that outsiders can never be as dedicated as our own family. Let Comrade Yan accompany Yuxiu. We really don't need Comrade Yan to lead us. If all else fails, we can find a local to lead the way. Yuxiu is important."
If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have hesitated and shouldn't have agreed to go out and see the world.
Bai Lian's heart was moved! There was a car to ride in, but her parents-in-law would definitely not agree; her dull-witted and honest husband would not agree either. This family was really partial to this sister-in-law they met for the first time.
Old Master Yan hissed, pretended to be in deep thought, and nodded after a moment.
"My in-laws are worried about Yuxiu, so I'll listen to your instructions. Dashan will stay home to take care of Yuxiu, and we'll let Comrade Gu lead the way. Comrade Gu was sent by higher-ups to protect Yuxiu. He's a steady and kind person. We'll all be at ease if he takes you out."
"That's right." Feng Jianhong patted his thigh and breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhong Jing smiled at the old man and said, "Don't worry, old man. We are not the kind of family that would insist on having a daughter for a son. When we found a good marriage for Zhong Erya, the daughter who was not our biological daughter, we did our best. Although the bride price was a bit high, it was not satisfactory. Yuxiu is our biological daughter. As parents, we love her more than anyone else."
"After all, we, as her parents, owe her a debt. Fortunately, she's doing well now, married into a good family like you, and Comrade Yan treats her well, so we can rest assured. We'll have two or three days of fun, and then it's time for us to return home. Please take good care of my daughter."
Old Master Yan smiled at him and said, "My dear in-law, you are too serious. Yuxiu is a very good daughter, and we in the Yan family love her dearly."
Zhong Jing nodded in response; he saw through Grandpa Yan's test at a glance. They were all people who loved their children. After all, they had lived for decades and experienced a lot. How could they not see this little trick?
Zhong Yuxiu felt warm in her heart. The original owner's biological parents were good to their daughter, but it was a pity that the original owner could not see it.
"Grandpa, I smell the delicious food." Yuxiu twitched her nose and turned to look in the direction of the kitchen. She saw Gu Lingguo and Fang Guozhong each holding a tray. The delicious smell came from the dishes in their hands. "There's fish!"
Old Master Yan laughed heartily. "You have a very keen nose, kid. Please take your seats first. I'll go wash my hands and be right back."
"Comrade Gong went out to buy something and hasn't come back yet."
"It's okay, leave some food for her." Old Master Yan chuckled, "Our in-laws are coming today, and we can't let them wait with us."
Zhong Jing said: "It's okay to wait, we can eat after everyone is here."
"That won't do. My in-laws are guests. How can I let you wait on an empty stomach?" Old Master Yan smiled and stood up. "Dashan, who are you going to beat to clean up Yuxiu's mess?"
Yan Rushan nodded in agreement and said to the Zhong family before leaving, "Sit down for a moment."
Zhong Jing nodded gently. Although Feng Jianhong's eyes were still red, they contained a smile. After Yan Rushan went to the bathroom, Feng Jianhong looked at her daughter whom she had just met.
"Yuxiu, is Comrade Yan always this nice to you?"
"Yes, that's basically the situation." Before she got pregnant, he would often fetch water for her to wash her face and feet, and sometimes he would wash her feet himself. "The Yan family raised him very well, and we live a very happy life."
It's the happiness she wants.
Feng Jianhong nodded slightly and smiled. "That's good. So, what do you do for a living? Will the higher-ups send someone to protect you?"
Zhong Yuxiu didn't say anything, and Feng Jianhong realized later that he might have violated a taboo.
"Yuxiu, don't get me wrong, I just want to know the situation; the people who came to find us in Beijing only said that you teach at the Medical University and sometimes go to work in the hospital..." The salary of a doctor who teaches and treats patients is good, but it is not enough to deserve protection.
She is not stupid. What those people said must not be entirely true. Her daughter is more outstanding and promising than she imagined.
"I do scientific research." After revealing her identity, Zhong Yuxiu did not mention it again.
"Research? Do you mean being a scientist?"
"Um."
Feng Jianhong smiled broadly, "Yuxiu, you're amazing. Why are you still teaching at the Medical University?"
"I teach at the Medical University because of my teacher, the one who taught me medical skills. He gave me the title of Honorary Professor of the Medical University. I am just a figurehead and teach one class every week. It can only be considered a secondary job." His main job is still scientific research.
"Is that so? What about the hospital? You're a scientist, you're supposed to do research. Do you still have time to treat your patients?"
Zhong Yuxiu's heart skipped a beat. "That's just a side job. I don't go there every day, I just go once in a while."
"You're too busy, then. Besides research, you also have to teach at a medical university and see patients in the hospital in your free time. Can you handle it?" After learning about her daughter's career, Feng Jianhong was happy and excited, but also worried. "You should take care of your health. Girls' bodies are not as good as men's. You need to get more rest."
"Yes, don't worry, you have to take good care of yourself too." Half of his hair is white, and he is obviously not very old.
Feng Jianhong's eyes were red with tears again, and she choked up and said, "Okay, I will take good care of myself and take care of your father."
Yuxiu didn't answer. Feng Jianhong knew not to be impatient. Being able to say something that concerned them was already a great improvement.
Yan Rushan brought hot water and placed it on the coffee table in front of her, then reached out to help her, "Come, wash your hands."
"Yeah." Zhong Yuxiu nodded slowly and sat up straight, but her stomach felt a little uncomfortable on her thighs. She endured it and let Yan Rushan help her wash her hands, then sat down sideways.
"Are you feeling unwell again?" Yan Rushan asked, looking at the person in front of him with concern.
Zhong Yuxiu smiled faintly and said, "No, I just had a stomachache."
"I'm glad you're okay. I'll go get some water." After saying that, he took the basin of water and went to the bathroom. When he came out again, he was with Old Master Yan.
Old Master Yan said, "My dear father-in-law, my dear mother-in-law, let's sit down in the dining room and talk properly."
Zhong Jing nodded, and with Feng Jianhong, they followed Old Master Yan to the dining room. Old Master Yan sat in the high seat as usual and said to the two, "Please sit down."
The place pointed out to them was the seat on the right, which was where Gu Lingguo and Fang Guozhong used to sit.
Zhong Jing and Feng Jianhong sat down as they were told. When Yan Rushan came with Yuxiu, they sat in the first and second seats on the left side of the old man. Zhong Jiaquan and Bai Lian were seated next to Feng Jianhong.
