Father Qiao had only entered the stage of kidney failure before, and his blood creatinine value had not exceeded 707umol/L.
His illness was discovered early and dialysis control was done in time, so he had not truly entered the final stage, which was often referred to as the late stage of uremia.
However, organ failure itself was an irreversible process.
Even if it was discovered early, modern medicine could only control the patient's condition as much as possible and delay the deterioration of the condition.
Father Qiao was indeed very lucky. Before his kidney function had completely failed, he had taken Chen Xi's elixir in time, so he was able to effectively suppress the condition and let his organ function begin to recover.
This time, he had come to visit Chen Xi with a grateful attitude, so he had brought a lot of Guanzhong specialties, such as Guannan bacon, black rice, fragrant rice, and other local specialties. Although they were not worth much, they were worth the thought.
As the saying went, goose feathers were sent from a thousand miles away. The gift was light, but the thought was heavy.
Perhaps it was because Father Qiao had been diligent in teaching for a lifetime that he had saved enough good fortune for himself.
Therefore, he had never thought that this kind of grateful attitude would actually save his life by accident.
A simplified version of the Energy Elixir would not be able to fully restore his kidney. After the effect of the elixir wore off, his condition would naturally begin to deteriorate again.
As the saying went, when you saved someone, you should help them to the end.
Chen Xi was not a stingy person. After hearing Father Qiao's intentions, he took out two more Energy Elixirs from the bar counter.
It was still the same explanation. The pills left by the old Chinese medicine doctor were very helpful for kidney disease …
But this time, when Qiao Yuan took the pills from Chen Xi's hand, she was so excited that her whole body trembled slightly.
After Chen Xi told them that they could take it all at once, Qiao Yuan hurriedly helped her father swallow the two pills one by one.
After taking the pills, the father and daughter were so excited that they could not control themselves.
A teacher in a small county had not seen much of the world in his life. He did not even know how to say a few words of courtesy. He only knew how to repeatedly thank Chen Xi.
Looking at his excited expression, it was as if he was about to dig out his heart and show it to Chen Xi.
Qiao Yuan wasn't any better. When she heard that Chen Xi had convinced her father to take these two pills, she was so excited that tears almost flowed out.
It was actually quite painful to deal with people who didn't know how to socialize.
One of the most likely situations to occur was awkwardness.
Everyone felt awkward because they couldn't get along.
Therefore, Chen Xi thought for a while and changed the topic to Qiao Yuan.
At the mention of his daughter, Father Qiao finally opened his mouth.
"In that little corner of our little place, I, Old Qiao, can be considered to have some fame …"
"When Qiao Qiao came home and told me all those things, I almost fainted from anger. If it wasn't for her mother stopping me, I would have beaten her to death …"
"I came to Shangjing this time to thank you in person. Thank you for saving my life …"
"Secondly, I want Jojo to return all the money I swindled …"
"Although we are poor, we don't earn this kind of black-hearted money …"
After all, Qiao Yuan was only a university student in her early twenties and hadn't experienced society.
To put it bluntly, she was still insensible and hadn't grown up.
She only wanted to earn money to treat her father's illness, but she didn't think about how to earn money.
She did whatever came quickly. If everyone was like her, then society would be a mess.
The Qiao family didn't have much money, but Qiao Yuan grew up in a scholarly family and received a good education.
However, because of a small setback in front of her, she went astray and did the shady business of swindling people.
This kind of behavior was simply unforgivable in Father Qiao's eyes.
Although in a big city like Shangjing, Qiao Yuan's family could only be considered as ordinary people living at the bottom of society.
However, it was this kind of country teacher who had never seen the world and couldn't even speak standard Mandarin that always had the awareness of being a role model. Therefore, he couldn't accept his daughter's behavior at all.
Father Qiao punished Qiao Yuan by kneeling for an entire night and then asked Qiao Yuan to return all the money to others.
Together with the keyboard player and the boss's share, she had to return the amount that they were swindled of.
The last deal was with Wang Hao's brother. The money had already been returned, but before that, Qiao Yuan had already earned 12,000 yuan.
In other words, she had to pay back an additional 18,000 yuan when she returned it.
Back then, she only earned 12,000 yuan, but now she had to return 30,000 yuan.
Of course, Qiao Yuan didn't have that much money, so the remaining 18,000 yuan was naturally paid by Father Qiao.
When it came to matters of principle, Father Qiao was very old-fashioned and wouldn't change what he had decided on.
Qiao Yuan couldn't persuade him, so she could only call people in front of Father Qiao.
After returning the money, Qiao Yuan also received countless curses and scoldings. She felt so wronged that she cried a few times.
However, from Father Qiao's point of view, she only had herself to blame and didn't deserve sympathy.
After hearing how Father Qiao educated his daughter, Chen Xi couldn't help but look back at the three little guys in the corner.
As a father, Father Qiao was clearly qualified.
When the children went down the wrong path, as a parent, he naturally had to pull them back.
A teacher in a small county who had taught for a lifetime might seem mediocre to others, but at least when it came to educating children, Father Qiao was absolutely successful.
The two didn't chat for long before the restaurant next door delivered the food that Chen Xi had just ordered.
Chen Xi warmly invited the father and daughter of the Qiao family to stay for a meal, but Father Qiao was unwilling. After repeatedly thanking Chen Xi for saving his life, he hurriedly left with his daughter.
He came by train and didn't know how long it would take to arrive, so he didn't buy a return ticket.
He should still be able to make it if he rushed to buy a ticket now. From Guanzhong to Shangjing, it would only take five or six hours. This way, he could still save on today's accommodation fee.
The father and daughter of the Qiao family came in a hurry and left in a hurry.
However, Father Qiao's appearance brought a lot of inspiration to Chen Xi.
From this, it could be seen that educating children was a long and arduous task. As a parent, it wasn't enough to just raise a child.
The teahouse continued to operate.
The winter sun was very short. Before four o 'clock, it was gloomy outside again.
The three little guys were tired from playing today, so they seemed a little listless all afternoon.
Drowsiness was contagious. After the little guy fell asleep on the climbing mat, the two brothers also lay down next to her and fell asleep.
It wasn't until they were about to close that Qin Ruoying woke them up.
The two brothers first rubbed their eyes. When they heard Qin Ruoying say that she was going to take them home, they nodded in a daze.
Grandpa said that they had to listen to their uncle and aunt today.
But it wasn't until Chen Xi picked up the little guy and Qin Ruoying led them out of the teahouse that the two brothers finally came back to their senses.
