"Mr. Su? Could it be that he is talking about Su Yuanju?" Qin Fan thought to himself.
He asked uncertainly: "Old man, are you talking about Vice President Su Yuanju?"
Qin Fan immediately told Mr. Su's name when he saw him.
Hoopoe asked: "Do you know him?"
"Hahaha, we don't just know each other, we work together every day." Qin Fan couldn't help but laugh.
Hoopoe blinked his cloudy eyes. He suddenly thought of something and slapped his forehead.
"Oh, I remembered. You said your surname was Qin, and you were a doctor at a traditional Chinese medicine hospital. Are you the Mr. Qin Mr. Su said?"
Qin Fan nodded in acquiescence.
"Xiao Li, look, this person is really infallible!" Hoopoe laughed.
Dai Shuli covered her mouth and snickered.
Hoopoe had forgotten that at first he disliked Qin Fan as a troublesome person and kept teasing him about throwing him into the sea.
"Mr. Qin, if you don't drink, then drink fish soup."
Hoopoe's tone became respectful, and he personally filled Qin Fan's small bowl with snow-white fish soup.
"Old man, are you from the same village as Vice President Su?" Qin Fan asked.
"We are not from the same village. His wife and brother-in-law are both old fishermen, so we naturally know each other."
"Mr. Su is proficient in Chinese medicine and takes great care of people from poor families like us. He came to see a doctor several times, but he didn't take any money. He is a good person known far and wide."
"I heard from Mr. Su's brother-in-law that you poached Mr. Su away from the traditional Chinese medicine hospital now," Dai Sheng said.
When mentioning Su Yuanju, Hoopoe's tone was full of gratitude and respect.
In fact, ordinary people like Hoopoe and Dai Shuli are very simple-minded.
Because Su Yuanju is a good person in their hearts, then Qin Fan who helped Su Yuanju is naturally also a good person.
They respect Su Yuanju, and naturally they also respect Qin Fan.
"Haha, it's not called poaching. Mr. Su will be able to play a greater role when he arrives at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital." Qin Fan said.
"Without you, how would Mr. Su be today? What is this called..."
The hoopoe scratched his gray hair. He couldn't think of a better description for a moment.
"Grandpa, there is Bole first, and then there is the thousand-mile horse." Dai Shuli reminded.
"Yes, yes, that's what I mean!" Hoopoe smiled and raised his glass, "Here, my old man proposes a toast to you!"
Qin Fan smiled and clinked the small bowl filled with fish soup with the other party.
The hoopoe took a sip of the wine in the glass.
He looked at Dai Shuli and put down the cup in his hand thoughtfully.
"Oh, I'm just sorry that my little girl, Xiaoli, dropped out of school to stay at home so as not to burden my old bones."
"Grandpa, why are you mentioning this again?" Dai Shuli frowned slightly.
"There's nothing to mention. Mr. Qin is not an outsider." Hoopoe looked unhappy.
He suddenly asked Qin Fan, "Mr. Qin, how old are you this year?"
"I'm almost 28 years old." Qin Fan said truthfully.
"Well, it's more than ten years older, so it's not too big." Hoopoe said to himself.
Qin Fan was confused when he heard this.
Dai Shuli's face suddenly turned red.
Qin Fan didn't know, but she knew what her grandfather meant.
He said angrily: "Grandpa, if you keep talking nonsense, I will be really angry!"
Hoopoe coughed twice, "Xiao Li, look at me, I'm so old, how many more years can I still stay with you?"
"Grandpa suddenly left one day. What would you do if you were alone?"
Dai Shuli's eyes turned red and her nose felt a little sore. The hoopoe seemed to be arranging things after her death.
Qin Fan quickly comforted him: "Old man, although your body is damaged, as long as you take good care of it, it won't be a big problem."
The hoopoe waved his hand and took a sip of soju.
He smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Qin, I know my own body very well. It's like a machine now. It's only a matter of time before it stops running."
In fact, Qin Fan had long seen that Hoopoe's health was caused by overwork.
For now, just eat whatever is delicious, play whatever you want, and focus on having fun.
It is true that he is a doctor, but he is not an omnipotent god either.
Therefore, Qin Fan did not advise the other party to drink less or how to maintain his health.
Hoopoe paused and suddenly asked Qin Fan again.
"Mr. Qin, what do you think of my Xiaoli?"
Qin Fan was startled and didn't understand what the other party meant.
He looked at Dai Shuli, who also blushed with embarrassment and glanced at Qin Fan sheepishly.
Immediately afterwards, Dai Shuli lowered her head, stood up without saying a word, and quickly walked out of the cabin.
When she came to the stern of the boat, her little heart was still beating fast, but she couldn't stop her curiosity.
How would Qin Fan evaluate her?
Dai Shuli leaned against the cabin and quietly eavesdropped on the conversation between Qin Fan and her grandfather.
Qin Fan in the cabin smiled and said: "Miss Dai is kind-hearted, beautiful, hard-working, and very filial to you."
Dai Shuli heard Qin Fan praise her.
Her white teeth bit her red lips, her little face was flushed, and her eyes were full of joy.
The hoopoe was also very happy and nodded repeatedly.
"Mr. Qin, Xiaoli actually has many advantages. I won't beat around the bush. How about her being your wife?"
What? Wife...
Qin Fan was startled by the idea of hoopoe, and almost dropped the peanuts in his mouth.
Dai Shuli, who was eavesdropping, even covered her hot little face, her heart pounding like a deer.
Qin Fan thought the hoopoe was strange, but he didn't expect that the hoopoe would go in such a big circle to find a partner for his granddaughter.
He hurriedly said: "Old man, I can't do it, I can't do it!"
Seeing Qin Fan waving his hands repeatedly, a look of displeasure appeared on Hoopoe's face.
"Mr. Qin, you just said that Xiaoli is kind-hearted and beautiful. Are you just perfunctory with me?"
Dai Shuli, who was eavesdropping from behind the cabin, also changed her face.
"Old man, please don't misunderstand me. I'm not trying to deal with you. Miss Dai is really outstanding."
Hoopoe nodded, "Then do you like a girl like Xiaoli?"
"I...like it, but..."
Before Qin Fan could finish speaking, Hoopoe burst into laughter.
"Just like it. Relationships can be cultivated. Xiaoli will wipe your body without hesitation. Taking care of you is better than taking care of me!"
Qin Fan couldn't help but smile bitterly, it seemed that this misunderstanding was getting deeper and deeper.
He quickly said: "Old man, no, Miss Dai and I are not suitable at all."
When Hoopoe heard this, he immediately fell from the cloud of joy.
He was very unhappy, "Mr. Qin, I shamelessly proposed marriage, and you still resisted. What do you mean?"
"Xiao Li is not worthy of you in any way. Do you dislike our low status?"
Dai Shuli, who was behind the cabin, was also in tears.
Although she didn't fall in love with Qin Fan immediately, her grandfather even mentioned it and was rejected by Qin Fan.
For her, it was undoubtedly a blow to the head.
Dai Shuli ignored her shyness and rushed out, "Grandpa, what are you talking about? I have no time to think about personal issues right now."
"Don't embarrass Mr. Qin. We save people out of good intentions."
"You are so hard on others, it seems that we have some purpose in rescuing people."
She turned around and smiled apologetically at Qin Fan.
"Mr. Qin, I made you laugh. My grandpa drank too much."
The hoopoe shook his head, sighed, and took a sip of boring wine.
"Xiao Li, I didn't drink too much. Grandpa is getting older and is getting worse every year. What will you do if I leave?"
"Grandpa, you can't, I will take care of myself." Dai Shuli said with red eyes.
Looking at this scene, Qin Fan finally understood Hoopoe's intention.
He was worried that Dai Shuli would have no one to rely on and would be lonely.
Qin Fan smiled bitterly and said: "Old man, you have misunderstood me. It's not that Miss Dai is not good, it's that I am not worthy of Miss Dai!"
Hoopoe blinked, "What do you mean?"
"Because I already have a wife and a child is about to be born. For a girl as good as Miss Dai, there will be someone better waiting for her!"
"Really, you didn't lie to me?" Hoopoe looked at Qin Fan with some disbelief.
"Of course it's true, I love my wife too." Qin Fan said.
At this moment, Dai Shuli's heartstrings seemed to be plucked.
