Tan Mincai returned to Sijiucheng with his wife and children within the agreed time. Although Bai Churong met them last year, her eyes were still red when she saw her son and grandson.
Seeing her like this, Tan Mincai felt very guilty. After Tan Xingguo was transferred back to Sijiu City, he actually wanted his eldest son to return to Sijiu City. Having a child by his side also comforted his mother. Unfortunately, his wife disagreed, saying that both parents were working.
Being busy cannot burden them.
The family first went to Xiaohonglou to visit Mr. Tan. Although Bai Churong said that Mr. Tan was in good health now, they were still shocked when they saw the couple.
The old man has a rosy complexion and speaks with great energy. It is obvious from a glance that he is in good health.
When Mr. Tan saw his three great-grandsons, he smiled from ear to ear and called Aunt Zhang to bring some food.
Qu Yan also talked to Cai Yun with a smile on her face.
After chatting for a while, Mr. Tan took his three grandchildren upstairs to play, and Qu Yan followed him up uneasy.
Taking the time, Cai Jun asked: "When we came back the year before last, my grandpa's condition was not so good. Could you please ask mom if she has changed doctors?"
Tan Mincai understood what she meant right away, so when he got home after dinner, he asked Bai Churong about it, and then explained: "My mother-in-law's health is getting worse and worse. She has been wondering if there is any medicine to improve her health."
She no longer has to worry about it all the time."
In fact, Cai's mother was just weak before, but as long as she took good care of her, there would be no big problem. But four years ago in the twelfth lunar month, she took her grandson out, and the child fell into the pool. She went into the water to save her grandson, and her body became increasingly weak.
Bai Churong didn't hide it from him: "I didn't tell you because I didn't hide it intentionally, but because I couldn't get the medicine."
"Mom, what medicine do I need? Tell me?"
Bai Churong talked about some of the most precious medicinal materials needed: "We were also lucky enough to get a century-old wild ginseng. But these century-old wild ginseng can save lives, and we have it in our hands. No one is willing to take it out."
There must be wild ginseng in those well-established families in Sijiucheng, but if you want to get it, you have to pay a price. The son she and her husband raised with great difficulty did not want to owe such a big favor to the Yue family.
Tan Min thought for a moment and asked: "Mom, did the third aunt get the wild ginseng used by grandpa?"
"how do you know?"
Tan Mincai shook his head and explained: "No, I guessed it. Third Aunt is rich, and you chatted before that Mr. Hu went to the Northeast to get a lot of precious medicinal materials."
Bai Churong didn't expect her son to react so quickly: "Your third aunt indeed bought that wild ginseng at a big price, but the medicine is not as easy as you think. Even if the medicinal materials are complete, it takes a lot of effort to prepare it. Gu
He is getting older, and his family doesn’t want to hurt him anymore and they won’t treat him anymore. If you find all the medicinal materials, his family will not agree to him dispensing the medicine."
Tan Min frowned.
Bai Churong knew that his son was a measured person, so he stopped saying it after reminding him: "Tomorrow, you go visit your third uncle and third aunt tomorrow."
After a pause, she lowered her voice and said: "Your third aunt is not only the boss of the comic company. She has also made a lot of investments. You tell Xiaoyun to be more attentive tomorrow. If you win her favor, you will be able to talk about anything in the future."
In the past few years when the couple was transferred back to Sijiu City, Tan Mincai had only come back three times, once during the trip and twice for the New Year. However, Tian Shao had gone back to his hometown in Yongning County to celebrate the New Year before and missed them all.
Tan Mincai was surprised and asked: "Mom, what other investments has Third Aunt made?"
Bai Churong shook his head and said: "I know she is working with the billionaire boss Bao again. As for the specific project, your father and I don't know. It's not easy for us to ask about this kind of thing."
Tan Mincai nodded and said he understood.
The next day, Bai Churong took the couple and their three children to Chang'an Street.
Tian Shao met Tan Mincai for the first time, and he looked very similar to Tan Xingguo. As for Cai Yun, he seemed to be a very shrewd person at first glance.
She smiled and asked a few people to sit down, and after having people bring tea, pastries and fruits, she said with a smile: "I asked your third uncle to take a day off and wait for you to come. He said that he could not delay his work due to personal matters, so he would come back for lunch at noon.
.”
Bai Churong smiled and said: "We are a family, don't talk about these nonsense, work is more important."
Tian Shao smiled and nodded, and then asked Mincai, Mincai and Cai Yun about their local affairs over the years. The conversation lasted for an hour before they knew it.
"Wow wow wow..."
When Sister Fang came in and said that the child was hungry, before Tian Shao could speak, Bai Churong called Mincai and Cai Yun out.
The husband is a man, and it is indeed inappropriate to stay in the house when the child needs to be fed, but she and her mother-in-law are both women, so why should they come out. Cai Yun felt very strange and asked directly.
Bai Churong smiled and said: "Your third aunt is thin-skinned, and she feels uncomfortable around people. Forget about us, her own mother didn't let her stay when she was breastfeeding, and her mother even had a quarrel with her over this.
"
Cai Jun was surprised and asked: "The third aunt is still quarreling with her mother?"
Bai Churong smiled and said: "Their quarrel was actually just a quarrel. After the quarrel, it was over. The old lady couldn't sit still, so she went to help her third daughter sell clothes. You probably won't see her today."
Cai Jun was not interested in Li Guihua. She just wanted to know more about Xiamian Shao. Unfortunately, Bai Churong only talked about insignificant things, which disappointed her.
Tan Yue came back at almost twelve o'clock. When he got home, Tian Shao was still chatting with Bai Churong's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. However, the protagonist was changed this time, and Cai Jun was talking and listening most of the time.
When Bai Churong's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law saw him coming back, they said hello and went out.
Tan Yue changed his clothes, then sat down and looked at his son and daughter: "Are the two children good today?"
Tian Shao wanted to roll his eyes. From the time he found out he was pregnant until now, the first thing he said when he got home was whether the child was good or not. After a year, his ears have become calloused and he didn’t know how to use new words.
"Be good, be very good."
Tan Yue saw her impatient look and said with a smile: "I just saw that you had a good chat with Mincai's wife?"
Tian Shao said with a smile: "Mincai's wife is very good at talking. She was just telling me and my sister-in-law about some of the things Mincai has done down there over the years. From what she said, Mincai is someone who can endure hardship and is willing to do practical things for the people.
People are just a little slow to react economically."
"Xiao Shao, you are good at economics. Can you guide him occasionally?"
After all, we are a family, so Tian Shao nodded readily and agreed. Tan Mincai's smooth career is a good thing for the entire Tan family.
After lunch, Tan Yue called Tan Mincai into the study.
The master bedroom was separated from the study by a small, palm-sized room, and it was difficult to pretend not to hear the scolding so loudly. However, Tian Shao understood that Tan Yue did it on purpose, just to let people in the yard know that he was scolding Tan Mincai.
In the past, I didn't care about anything and only thought about contributing to the country. Over the years, I slowly softened and started to take the people around me into my heart.
