Just when Grandpa Su and Grandma Su were wondering about such a profound question as to why Dong Yuanzhong, such a big leader, still lived in the same courtyard with other people, the soldiers returned.
This time, the soldier's eyes were different from the arrogance before, and he showed a bit more respect for the people of the Su family.
Su Xiaotian discovered this problem with sharp eyes.
"Hello, I just called Chief Dong's home, and Chief Dong said he would arrange for someone to pick you up immediately."
Sure enough, when the soldier spoke, his tone was even more flattering.
Just kidding, those who can stand guard at the gate of the compound are not ordinary people. They still have some good sense.
The person who allowed Chief Dong to directly arrange for someone to pick him up instead of asking the guards at the door to lead the way in was definitely not an ordinary person.
Such a person must be the most valued relative of the Dong family.
Maybe he's Chief Dong's brother or something.
"Thank you! Comrade!" Su Xiaotian smiled and thanked her.
In fact, she was also curious in her heart, who would Dong Yuanzhong ask to pick them up?
Is it the little guard who visited their house last time?
What is that young man's name?
Oh, it's called Tong Xing'an.
Grandpa Su and Grandma Su looked at each other in shock when they heard this.
Have someone pick them up?
This is already at the door. Can't we just go in?
It’s just a courtyard, how can we still get lost?
However, neither of them was smart enough to say this out loud.
Su Xiaotian stood aside calmly, and several boys from the Su family also stood very casually. Although their behavior seemed unruly, they did not deliberately criticize them.
Grandpa Su and Grandma Su were no longer anxious when they saw their grandchildren acting in such a calm manner.
"Old man, why do you think a wealthy family has so many rules?"
Although she was not in a hurry, after waiting for a while, Grandma Su still couldn't help but ask.
After Grandpa Su gave Grandma Su a meaningful look, he said, "You know that rich families have many rules, but you still ask!"
Grandma Su glared at Grandpa Su.
Yes, I asked about loneliness!
If I had known earlier, it would be better not to ask.
Just as the old couple's eyes were interacting, there was a person not far away who was seeing this scene.
This person is none other than Director Hu of the electronics factory.
Director Hu originally passed by this place by chance and accidentally saw a few people. He thought they looked familiar, so he took a second look.
He originally thought that his eyes were wrong, but who knew, it turned out to be the Su family.
He previously thought that the Su family owned a restaurant, and he heard that they were from the northwest. Even if he knew that they had a relationship with Chi Ge, he didn't think much about it.
But now, I actually saw them at the entrance of this compound.
The people who live in this big courtyard, even the director of their electronics factory, can't reach a higher level.
How could the Su family interact with people in the compound?
And judging from the soldier's attitude, he seemed to have great respect for the people of the Su family!
Even though the distance is far away, the respectful attitude of the soldiers can be seen clearly.
The seventh-rank officials in front of the prime minister's gate, even the gatekeepers in this compound, are more arrogant than others and do not respect everyone.
Could it be that the Su family not only owns restaurants, but also has other identities?
Thinking of this possibility, Director Hu couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat off his head.
I'm a good boy, but fortunately he hasn't offended the Su family before.
If he is like Lao Ma and offends people severely, he will really end the game!
Just when he was secretly rejoicing, someone unexpectedly came over and patted his shoulder.
Director Hu was startled and looked over, only to realize that he was an acquaintance.
This person is none other than Lu Ruyalu, another deputy director of Qili Silk Factory.
"Old Hu, what are you looking at? You dare to poke your head in at the gate of the compound!"
Maybe Director Hu could tell that he was frightened by him, so Director Lu couldn't help but say something condescending.
Director Hu smiled awkwardly and said, "It's not like I saw a few people I knew."
Following Director Hu's gaze, Deputy Director Lu took a look and saw that they were two old men with several children, but they didn't recognize them.
Director Hu didn't say who it was, and Deputy Director Lu didn't ask in a casual manner.
"Can we go, Lao Hu, together?"
Deputy Director Lu said hello, and Director Hu agreed.
The two factories are in the same direction, so we can pass by them together.
As the two pushed the bicycle, Lu Ruya couldn't help but sigh.
"Director Lu, why are you sighing in broad daylight? This is not your style!" Director Hu asked casually.
"It's really worrying to say the least. There's only one week left, and the German merchants are about to arrive, but we haven't found a suitable translator here yet. The factory director is almost going gray because of this!"
Director Hu couldn't help but curse after hearing this.
What does it mean that the director of the factory is worried about turning gray because of this matter?
As for the director of Qili Silk Factory, his hair has turned gray a long time ago, okay?
However, Director Hu also knows that this is not the time to talk about this.
What he was thinking was, wasn't the translation that was delivered to your door rejected by you?
With so many people in the capital, it may not be easy to find someone more suitable.
"It's been a week, and I thought your Director Ma had already found a suitable translator."
Director Hu said with a bit of gloating.
Director Lu was stunned and asked, "Why has it been a week?"
Director Hu quickly waved his hand and said: "It's okay, it's okay!"
Director Lu is not a fool. If you can’t tell, Director Hu must know something.
"Lao Hu, you are being ridiculous. You said, we have been in a relationship for many years, and you are still hiding it from me. What's the point?"
Director Lu had already said this, what else could Director Hu say? He simply told what happened.
When he heard that Director Ma had offended someone after meeting Mr. Chi Gechi, Director Lu was so angry that his liver almost hurt.
Director Ma shows off his seniority in the factory by claiming that he is the first deputy director. The director is old and will retire in two or three years, so he has to put on official airs.
Not to mention others, even he, the second deputy factory director, didn't have a good look.
Unexpectedly, he was so stupid that he even put on official airs outside.
Mr. Chi Ge Chi is not an ordinary person. He puts on official airs for Mr. Chi. It is simply a joke!
"How could you miss such an opportunity? It's really..."
Director Lu is also a smart man and did not say unnecessary words.
Although Director Hu didn't say it clearly, he understood clearly. When he saw Chi Ge, Director Hu was also there.
Maybe the reason why I can meet Mr. Chi is because of Factory Director Hu's relationship.
So, instead of complaining, it is better to find ways to ask for help.
"Lao Hu, is there any way you can help contact Mr. Chi?"
Director Hu shook his head helplessly. He wanted to have a good relationship with Mr. Chi.
Unfortunately, Chi Lao had no such intention at all.
Chi Lao is an existence that a person of his status cannot reach!
Seeing Director Hu shaking his head, Director Lu was disappointed.
"Lao Hu, can you give me a heads up on where to find Mr. Chi?"
"Among the people I saw just now, there was a little girl wearing red clothes. She was Chi Lao's disciple. It is said that Chi Lao said that this was her closed disciple!"
Factory Director Lu has also heard that Mr. Chi seems to have accepted a closed disciple, but no one has seen what kind of person this closed disciple is.
But what are you talking about? The little girl you saw from a distance just now is Chi Lao's close disciple?
"Lao Hu, is it true?" Director Lu asked in disbelief.
Didn't Chi Lao's closed disciples come from the northwest? Can those who were collected from the northwest go to the compound?
Director Hu said lightly: "How many years have we been in love, and I would lie to you for this little thing?"
Even if Director Lu doesn't believe it, he will believe it now.
He suddenly came to his senses, turned the car around and ran towards the entrance of the compound.
But when he returned, the entrance to the compound was empty, with only two soldiers standing guard.
"I missed it again..." Director Lu slapped the bicycle on the head angrily.
He accidentally rang the car bell, alerting the two soldiers at the door.
The soldier gave a warning look. Director Lu did not dare to stand here any longer and hurriedly pushed the bicycle to the corner.
At this time, Director Hu also came over.
"She's missing, Lao Hu, tell me, where can I find her?"
Director Lu held his breath, this was his last chance.
"Yiming Pavilion, have you heard of it?"
After all, they were old friends. Director Hu couldn't bear to let Director Lu down, so he gave him some advice.
"Are you talking about the restaurant that is very famous in the capital recently?"
Of course he had heard of it, but he had never been there.
But what he is looking for is Chi Lao's disciple. Why go to Yiming Pavilion?
"Yiming Pavilion belongs to this little girl's family." Seeing Director Lu's confusion, Director Hu reminded him again: "I heard that this little girl's foreign language skills are also very high. I won't hide it from you, we
The documents in the factory were translated by this little girl."
Although it was just a glimpse, Director Lu felt from his memory that the little girl just now was not very old.
Just a little baby, how capable can it be?
But this time, they looked for many people in succession, but no one was willing to take their job. They even looked for several professors in the university, but they all said that they did not understand the professional terminology.
Some people even recommended Chi Ge, saying that if Chi Ge came out, the problem might be solved.
"Old Lu, I have already reminded you of what you should be reminded of. It's up to you what to do."
Director Hu patted Director Lu on the shoulder and said helplessly.
"I'm afraid it's impossible for your silk factory to ask Mr. Chi to come out."
After all, your horse factory director has offended people so hard!
Director Hu didn't say the last sentence, but Director Lu already understood it.
This old horse has enough bad temper!
If he had a better attitude when he saw Chi Lao, the problem would have been solved.
But having said that, if he can handle this matter well this time, it may be an opportunity.
In the courtyard.
Su Xiaotian didn't know that she was being remembered again.
She followed Dong Yuanzhong and listened to Dong Yuanzhong and Grandpa Su talking.
Fan Shufang, who was on the side, held Grandma Su's hand and whispered affectionately.
Just now, Dong Yuanzhong and his wife went out in person to greet Grandpa Su and his family, which shocked the soldiers at the door.
They never expected that Chief Dong and his wife would go out to greet these people in person.
What are the identities of these people? Could they be Chief Dong’s elders?
Dong Yuanzhong is a very carefree person, without any hesitation. He directly says that this is his eldest brother and sister-in-law, and his attitude is one of intimacy.
When Grandpa Su and Grandma Su entered the gate, they realized that this compound was just like their Red Heart Brigade, with many families living there.
No wonder they had to make a special trip to pick them up. If they didn't come out to pick them up, they would definitely not be able to find them.
In this life, it was the first time for Su Xiaotian to enter such a place. She felt a bit like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
She looked calm on the face, but in fact, she had already looked around her.
Although they are all in a large courtyard, it can be seen that they have different statuses, live in different locations, and live in different houses.
However, Su Xiaotian's current eyesight is not enough for her to see the true identities of each family.
At this time, other people in the courtyard saw Dong Yuanzhong and his wife accompanying the guests, and asked with a smile.
"This is my eldest brother and sister-in-law, who came to my house with several children. This is not the first time they have come to my house, and they can't be found. We, the couple, went out to pick them up!"
Fan Shufang smiled and responded to the enthusiastic inquiries from people in the courtyard.
Grandpa Su and Grandma Su were both a little uncomfortable, but they still maintained decent smiles on their faces.
Su Xiaotian felt that it was really uncomfortable to be watched by people like this.
But what can be done?
They could only maintain a decent expression so as not to embarrass Grandpa Dong!
People in the compound were actually a little surprised when they heard that she was Dong Yuanzhong's brother and sister-in-law.
I had heard before that Dong Yuanzhong was an orphan. Since he was an orphan, how could he have a brother and sister-in-law?
But this was said by Fan Shufang herself, could it be true?
Naturally, some people think that this may be Fan Shufang's brother and sister-in-law.
"We're going home first. My elder brother and sister-in-law are taking the children. It's been a hard journey and we have to get home to rest first!"
Fan Shufang didn't want to continue chatting with these people, so she simply found an excuse and left.
Dong Yuanzhong and Fan Shufang lived in a small western-style building in the northeast corner of the compound.
This is a two-story small Western-style building with a small garden. However, the garden does not plant flowers, but various vegetables.
"This was all ordered by our old director. A good garden was turned into a vegetable garden!" Fan Shufang complained, but there was no blame in her tone.
Grandpa Su and Grandma Su saw the vegetable garden and felt friendly.
There is actually a small yard in their courtyard house. They also thought about planting some onions and leeks, but they were too busy and had to give up in the end.
"These tomatoes are growing just right!" Grandpa Su said with emotion: "You can see that you have put a lot of effort into it!"
“Grow vegetables, move your body, it’s time to exercise!”
Dong Yuanzhong smiled and took a few steps to the vegetable garden. He picked several large and red tomatoes, picked a few cucumbers, and walked out of the vegetable garden holding them in his arms.
Fan Shufang said complainingly: "It's the first time for my eldest brother and sister-in-law to come here. You didn't ask me to come in and take a rest. You ran to the vegetable garden first!"
"We will eat vegetables grown at home today for noon and evening!" Dong Yuanzhong handed the cucumber in his hand to Tong Xing'an and said with a big smile.
"Brother and sister-in-law, please ignore me, let's go into the house."
The group of people arrived at the house. In the huge living room, there was a set of wooden furniture, which was not Hengda's Western-style villa.
"Originally, there was a sofa set here, but after the old director came, he insisted that the sofa was too soft and uncomfortable to sit on, so he replaced it with a wooden table and chairs."
Perhaps she noticed Su Xiaotian's appraising gaze, and Fan Shufang explained with a smile.
Speaking of this, she was still angry because that sofa set looked so beautiful.
Besides, it's so comfortable to sit softly on it, but this damn old man just doesn't know how to enjoy it.
After chatting for a while, Grandpa Su gave the medicine prepared by Su Xiaotian to Dong Yuanzhong.
Dong Yuanzhong looked at the half-foot-square wooden box and said with a smile: "How many?"
"If you take three pills a day, you won't be able to take these for long. Second Grandpa, you can eat them first. After half a month, I will diagnose your pulse and adjust the prescription." Su Xiaotian said with a smile.
"It's better to find someone to check first. This girl Xiaotian is too courageous." Grandpa Su said awkwardly.
While he was talking, he also looked around.
Why couldn't the very strict doctor in the Dong family see it?
"Let Dr. Wu take a look at this medicine first. If Dr. Wu says it's okay to take it, then you can take it!"
When Grandpa Su spoke, Dong Yuanzhong's expression changed visibly.
After returning that day, he thoroughly checked the people around him, especially Dr. Wu.
You won’t know if you don’t check, but you’ll be shocked if you check.
The Doctor Wu who was following him turned out to be the one who came to take his life.
Except for the initial period when Dr. Wu was cautious, once trust was developed, Dr. Wu made many small moves.
Everyone around him has been bewitched by Dr. Wu. Xiao Yuan was bewitched by Dr. Wu before.
Moreover, Dr. Wu persisted in giving him medicines that he shouldn't have used. Over time, his health became much worse than before.
If he hadn't gone to Su's house, he wouldn't have discovered it.
When he went for a check-up, the doctor at the hospital said that if he continued for another year and a half, most of his life would be lost.
He never imagined that in that era, he had survived in the northwest, but when he arrived in the capital, he almost lost his life.
After the incident broke out, Dr. Wu wanted to run away, but before he could, he was arrested by his people and sent to trial.
There are no results yet, but the news I heard suggests that there may be someone else behind Dr. Wu, and the purpose is probably not just him.
The organization originally wanted to assign him a personal doctor, but because of Dr. Wu's experience, he refused.
Just kidding, he has been fighting for most of his life, and his head is in his own hands. It feels too unsafe to put your life in the hands of others.
From now on, if you feel unwell, you should go directly to the hospital for peace of mind.
But Dong Yuanzhong had no way to tell Grandpa Su these things.
He was really afraid that something like this would scare Grandpa Su.
"Brother, sister-in-law, Dr. Wu has something to do and is not here for the time being. I will ask the child to send these medicines to the hospital for examination." Fan Shufang smiled and took out the medicine box.
Grandpa Su felt much more at ease after hearing Fan Shufang say that he was going to be sent for examination.
"Brother and sister, you must ask the doctor to check carefully. Don't give Yuan Zhong the medicine casually!" Grandpa Su said bravely.
Fan Shufang smiled: "Even if we don't trust others, how can we not trust you?"
Dong Yuanzhong also laughed and said: "I have thought about it. From now on, let Xiaotian check my pulse once every half month. I think my granddaughter's skills are better than those who rely on machines for everything.
The doctor is strong!"
Fan Shufang glared at Dong Yuanzhong and said: "You, Xiaotian, Xiaojiu, stop sitting there and come over and eat the fruit. This is specially delivered this morning."
The weather is gradually cooling down, and a large number of fruits are on the market. The fruits that can be placed on the Dong family's table are indeed high-quality fruits!
Fan Shufang greeted several children to eat apples and pears.
While joking, the afternoon passed.
Fan Shufang went to arrange dinner.
The Dong family has people who specialize in cooking, but Fan Shufang doesn't have to do it herself. Fan Shufang generally arranges the dishes.
