Li Mu took Cao Jian directly to He Jianning's home, outside the third ring road, in the family courtyard of a state-owned nursery.
When we arrived at his house, it was already dark outside.
This place is a suburb at this time, and there is only one bus route. In addition, this place has been engaged in flower, fruit and tree business for many years. It is a vast area with sparsely populated areas, making it very quiet.
Cao Jian nodded inwardly. He heard that this capable man has always been in poor health and prefers to be quiet rather than making noise. It seems to be true.
Li Mu took Cao Jian around seven times and eight times, and finally came to a house built in a peach blossom forest.
Li Mu stood outside the door and heard a faint cough in the room, and smelled the smell of medicinal food.
He pushed the door open and saw He Jianning sitting at the table, frowning at the dishes on the table.
Sister-in-law Li, who was in charge of cooking, carefully put down the last dish. When she saw Li Mu coming in, she said as if she were seeing a savior: "Xiao Mu, please persuade this gentleman. He hasn't eaten properly for several days."
Li Mu nodded. Sister-in-law Li went down immediately.
"You're such a big man, but you're still picky about food?" Li Mu said with a smile.
He Jianning also smiled.
Cao Jian looked at this man he had only met a few times, and felt his eyes light up. The 30-year-old man had a somewhat tired figure and a pale complexion, but he had clear facial features and a deep and unpredictable light in his eyes, which made people dare not
underestimate.
"It's not that I'm a picky eater, it's that the food you made me eat was too unpalatable," He Jianning said.
"Sister-in-law Li is already the best cook in making medicinal meals. If you are not satisfied with this, it can only be because you are picky about food." Li Mu said.
Sister-in-law Li is his distant relative. Several generations of her family have been good at herbal medicine. No matter how many big bosses begged him, he did not arrange it. Instead, he personally begged her to give He Jianning a former secretary-general and now an idler.
Cook.
"Okay, I admit, I'm picky about food." After He Jianning finished speaking, he looked at Cao Jian behind Li Mu.
"Why did Director Cao come to my place when you had time? Please take a seat." He had only met Cao Jian a few times and hadn't even spoken to him, but now he recognized him instantly.
He stood up and extended his hand to invite: "Have you eaten? Let's have some together?"
"Don't dare, no, no, we have eaten... No, we haven't eaten yet..." Cao Jian was a little incoherent.
Despite the fact that the man in front of him has a humble attitude and a harmless look on his face, any rumor about him will make people's scalp numb and their backs tingling with chills.
He Jianning smiled nonchalantly and looked at Li Mu. Li Mu must have a reason for bringing him here.
Li Mu gently put the box in his hand on the table and opened it.
He Jianning's nose twitched immediately: "What a strong medicinal fragrance, the best."
He could tell just by the smell that this bark and moss-wrapped tree was a top-quality ginseng tree.
"This ginseng tree can help you live another 10 years." Li Mu looked at He Jianning and said excitedly.
He Jianning's eyes suddenly burst into light. Can he continue to live? 10 years?!
Cao Jian's heart was beating fast. At this moment, he almost loved Li Mu to death. He was such a good person!
"This is what Director Cao is going to give you. You guys can talk about it. I'm going to prepare the medicine." Li Mu took the box and went to the next room.
He Jianning was born with a congenital defect and has been taking medicine since he was born. His grandfather used to take care of it, but now he is in charge. He has all the medicine He Jianning needs at home.
But the best medicine, wild ginseng, is always in short supply.
In the past two years, He Jianning's body was so weak that he could no longer even go to work and had to retreat behind the scenes.
But this ginseng tree can not only extend his life, but also allow him to return to the stage.
"What do you want?" The polite smile on He Jianning's face disappeared, and the gratitude that Cao Jian expected did not appear. He just asked calmly and expressionlessly.
