Mr. Qiao's attitude was much kinder than Xu Chunliang expected. Judging from the old man's complexion, his physical condition was very bad and his cough and asthma were very serious.
Even a layman like Ye Qingya could notice it and reminded Mr. Qiao with concern: "Grandpa Qiao, you should go to the hospital to recuperate your health."
Mr. Qiao said: "Anyway, I take medicine, and it's the same at home." He has suffered from bronchial asthma for more than 50 years, and it will occur every autumn and winter. This year it was particularly serious. He was hospitalized for medication, but it was only relieved at that time. After stopping the medication,
Started to cough and wheeze again.
In addition to drug treatment, the doctor's advice to Mr. Qiao is to get more rest and strengthen his body. Mr. Qiao believes that it is because of his old age. As he grows older, his body will only get worse and worse.
Nope.
Ye Qingya said: "Have you ever seen a Chinese medicine doctor?"
Mr. Qiao said: "Look, Rulong introduced me to a Chinese medicine doctor."
Xu Chunliang was startled when he heard this. The Chinese medicine practitioner Qiao Rulong introduced to him couldn't be Huang Youlong, right? In the past, Xu Chunliang might have offered to diagnose Mr. Qiao's pulse, but now he doesn't seem to have the need to be courteous. The Qiao family can
The medical resources we have access to are already among the top in the country.
Mr. Qiao looked at Xu Chunliang, who was cautious in his words and deeds, and felt in his heart that this young man had drifted away from the Qiao family. Of course, this was not his fault, but the Qiao family did owe him a debt.
Mr. Qiao asked the nanny to get the prescriptions prescribed by traditional Chinese medicine, and offered to let Xu Chunliang help take a look.
Xu Chunliang was modest at first, then took the prescription and looked at it. This is a prescription for relieving the exterior, resolving phlegm and calming asthma. It has the effects of warming the exterior, relieving the exterior, regulating qi, reducing phlegm and relieving asthma.
Judging from the composition and compatibility of the prescription, the prescriber did have profound skills. Xu Chunliang paid attention to the prescriber, and the three characters Huang Youlong were clearly visible in his eyes. As expected, the person Qiao Rulong recommended to Mr. Qiao was Huang Youlong.
Xu Chunliang said: "Mr. Qiao, you just said he was a Chinese medicine doctor. This doctor seems to be a Korean doctor from Mingde Hospital."
Mr. Qiao exclaimed: "This Dr. Huang is a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, and later became a Korean citizen. By the way, Rulong said that he has excellent medical skills, and he cured Wang Zhengdao's stubborn illness."
Xu Chunliang said: "I have heard about this."
Mr. Qiao said: "What do you think of this recipe?"
Xu Chunliang smiled calmly and said: "Mr. Qiao, I am just a beginner in Chinese medicine. I dare not make any comments on the prescriptions of such famous doctors."
Mr. Qiao sighed secretly, it seemed that the grudge in his heart could not be eliminated.
Ye Qingya saw that Xu Chunliang was uncomfortable and took the initiative to leave, but Mr. Qiao did not persuade them to stay.
When I came outside, I saw Qiao Yuanjiang walking in from the outside. Ye Qingya called Uncle Qiao.
Qiao Yuanjiang said: "Leaving so soon?"
Ye Qingya said: "I still want to go to Wang's house."
Qiao Yuanjiang nodded. The relationship between the three families has always been very good. When Ye Qingya comes to the Qiao family, she will naturally go to the Wang family.
After watching them drive away, Qiao Yuanjiang returned to the living room and saw his father still sitting there, staring at the prescription on the coffee table in a daze.
Qiao Yuanjiang quietly walked over and said respectfully: "Dad, please go back to your room and rest first."
Mr. Qiao glanced at him: "Yuanjiang, do you think my time is running out?"
Qiao Yuanjiang smiled and said: "Look what you said, it's just a minor problem. You must not commit it once every year. This is not what you said."
Mr. Qiao sighed and said: "Everyone will have that day sooner or later, and no one can escape it."
Qiao Yuanjiang said: "Dad, don't think blindly, go and rest."
Mr. Qiao said: "I have been thinking about the past a lot recently. I remember someone said that when a person always thinks about the past, it means that he is about to leave this world."
Qiao Yuanjiang didn't speak. His father's words didn't make much waves in his heart. A few years ago, he would have felt nervous. He would have thought that if his father left, then he would lose his strongest backer, which meant that
There is no room for improvement in his institutional path.
Now Qiao Yuanjiang's institutional road has come to an end. He himself is in a semi-retired state. His father's words are correct. Sooner or later, people will have that day. Qiao Yuanjiang unknowingly accepted his own mediocrity and also accepted the Qiao family's
The reality of loneliness.
Mr. Qiao said: "I only have one wish now..." He didn't finish his sentence.
Qiao Yuanjiang already understood that his father's wish was probably to see Qiao Yuanshan who had been with him for many years before leaving this world.
Qiao Yuanjiang didn't care. His father and brothers had long become the shackles that trapped his heart. For him, only when they all left could he gain true relief.
On the way back, Xu Chunliang became a little silent.
While driving, Ye Qingya secretly glanced at him from the corner of her eyes and whispered, "Did it affect my mood?" Of course she knew that Xu Chunliang didn't want to go to Qiao's house.
Xu Chunliang shook his head: "Nothing, I was thinking about Mr. Qiao's illness."
"Is it serious?"
"It's not serious, but Mr. Qiao probably doesn't have much time left."
Ye Qingya exclaimed in shock: "Isn't that serious?"
Xu Chunliang said: "What's serious is not the disease itself, but his will. I can't see the fighting spirit in Mr. Qiao's eyes. For people like him, losing fighting spirit means losing vitality."
Ye Qingya fell silent. Xu Chunliang's words reminded her of her grandfather. Whether she wanted to or not, she would eventually face the reality that they were getting older.
When Xu Chunliang and Ye Qingya returned to Ye's house, Secretary Zhou and his wife happened to be there. They came to visit Mr. Ye in advance this time. However, Mr. Ye did not mention Xu Chunliang in the conversation just now, so Secretary Zhou also
I didn’t know Xu Chunliang would come.
Mr. Ye smiled and said, "You two will stay and have dinner together. Chunliang happens to be here too. You haven't seen each other for a long time, right?"
Secretary Zhou said: "It hasn't been long, Mr. Ye, I also want to stay, but there has been heavy snow in the south recently, and I have to leave today to direct the disaster relief work."
Mr. Ye nodded, and couldn't help but think of his son who died in the line of duty, and said softly: "Pay attention to safety."
Secretary Zhou said: "I understand."
He glanced at his wife Shu Yao, and the two stood up to say goodbye. Mr. Ye asked Xu Chunliang and Ye Qingya to go out and see her off.
Ye Qingya accompanied Shu Yao, Secretary Zhou and Xu Chunliang came together.
Because Zhou Deming and Xu Chunliang's cousin Zhen Chun have already established a relationship, Secretary Zhou also knows something about Xu Chunliang's current situation. Facing this junior, Secretary Zhou doesn't have to be polite to him: "Chunliang, if you are in Dongzhou
If you are not doing well, please transfer to the capital, continue to do civil affairs work, and help me."
Xu Chunliang smiled and said: "Thank you, Uncle Zhou." The change of title from Secretary Zhou to Uncle Zhou happened after the last funeral of his grandfather, which also represents the extraordinary relationship between the two families.
Secretary Zhou said: "My family, what are you grateful for?"
Xu Chunliang said: "I decided to go to Jeju to work in cultural tourism."
Secretary Zhou nodded, knowing in his heart that Xu Chunliang's work destination had been arranged, and he didn't need to worry about it. Mr. Ye would not just sit idly by and ignore this godson.
Secretary Zhou said: "That's good, you have expertise in culture and tourism." He immediately understood the meaning of this arrangement. The foresight of the older generation is still beyond his reach.
Xu Chunliang said: "I originally planned to go to your home to pay you New Year greetings."
Secretary Zhou smiled and said: "Unfortunately, I'm afraid I won't be able to return to the capital during the Spring Festival. Even if I finish the work, I still have to go to Nanwan. The old lady has returned to her hometown. As a son, I have to go and have a look."
Xu Chunliang said: "I haven't seen Grandma Zhou for a while."
Secretary Zhou said: "She often talks about you. If you have time, you can take a look. I will give you the address. My hometown has beautiful scenery and is simply a paradise. You are not busy with work now, so you should take a vacation. Right
Yes, Deming and Zhen Chun are both going back to their hometowns during the Chinese New Year this year. They should not leave until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."
After hearing what he said, Xu Chunliang had the idea of going there.
Ye Qingya and Shu Yao were chatting very well. It was not until Secretary Zhou urged that Shu Yao stopped talking, waved to Xu Chunliang and got into the car.
Ye Qingya watched them go away and said softly: "I feel like they have become younger."
Xu Chunliang said: "Power makes people young."
Ye Qingya couldn't help laughing: "When did you learn to pretend to be serious?"
Xu Chunliang really didn't pretend to be serious. He also felt that Secretary Zhou was getting younger. When Secretary Zhou went to the province from Dongzhou, he had seen the state during that time. It was completely different from now.
Even Secretary Zhou himself did not expect that his official career, which had come to an end, would become bright again due to the accidental death of Ye Changyuan. It was Mr. Ye who pushed him to his current position.
Xu Chunliang brought a lot of new year's goods to Mr. Ye, including Baotian Dan, which he personally made. It was specially formulated with selected medicines according to Mr. Ye's physical condition. Taking it regularly can prevent diseases, strengthen the body, and prolong life.
Xu Chunliang carefully told Mr. Ye the method of taking and precautions, and Ye Qingya was also listening.
Mr. Ye was very aware of Xu Chunliang's medical skills, and he even specifically asked about the main ingredients of the medicines. From the ingredients alone, he could tell that they were extremely precious. It seemed that he had put a lot of thought into making these medicines.
Ye Laodao: "Chunliang is really thoughtful."
Ye Qingya said: "Of course, he carefully selected these medicinal materials and they were hard-earned. Grandpa, you must be obedient and take them on time."
Mr. Ye nodded and said: "Okay! Okay! Okay!" He said three good words in a row.
Ye Qingya let the two of them talk, then got up and went to prepare Xu Chunliang's room.
Mr. Ye stretched out his left hand to hold Xu Chunliang's right hand: "Chunliang, just stay at home for a few more days and talk to grandpa, okay?"
Xu Chunliang said: "Grandpa, I will stay with you at home these days."
Mr. Ye pursed his lips and said softly: "Good boy."
Xu Chunliang took the opportunity to ask for his pulse diagnosis and checked Mr. Ye, and found that his body was fine, which made him feel quite relieved.
Ye Lao knew that he was concerned about his health and told Xu Chunliang that his mood had calmed down and that he didn't have to worry about him.
