Father was coming back?
A family reunion?
When Mi Xaing 'er heard the news, she was more surprised than happy. "Did you get the visa so quickly?"
Chen Jiaxuan raised her chin proudly. "It has to be fast. If we don't get Father's visa, we can't talk about the next step of the investment plan. After all, the province is still waiting for the money to build the city! That's for the renovation of the facade. It's an urgent matter. "
She was right.
After ten years of turbulence, the reform and opening up were about to begin. Whoever did well in the construction of the city would have outstanding political achievements. This was an obvious "facade" job. Therefore, the provincial government worked especially hard in this regard. In order to let foreign investors enter more smoothly, they gave some green light to foreign investors … It was not a big deal.
Chen Yaozhong was not a big problem to begin with. Now that he was terminally ill, it was reasonable that he wanted to return to his roots. With these two reasons added together, the visa was naturally more smoothly processed.
Chen Jiaxuan was so excited that she danced. "I finally didn't disappoint you. I can answer to Father now! I've already sent the news to the United States! Father said that he would book the earliest flight and prepare to return with Auntie Tang. He asked me to inform you … You don't have to do anything. Just wait for them quietly! "
"Oh!"
Mi Xaing 'er agreed. "Where do they plan to stay when they arrive?"
"The provincial government has already arranged for them to stay in the Provincial Party Committee's guest house. The car has also been arranged. After all, Father is their guest. Don't worry, these things will not be neglected!"
Mi Xaing 'er lowered her head and thought about it. It seemed that there was really nothing she could do. She could only wait quietly. "When do you think Mother and Auntie Tang will arrive?"
"In three or four days. Father is very anxious to see you! So, they should be flying over soon! "Chen Jiaxuan squinted and smiled." You must have classes, right? I won't hold you up! When I get the exact flight information, I'll let you know the details. We can go and pick them up together! "
"Okay then!"
Mi Xaing 'er did not say anything more and went back to class.
After school.
She rushed to her mother-in-law, Xu Jingya, and told her about it. Xu Jingya nodded happily. "This is great news!"
She turned to Xiao Qingshan and said, "Lao Xiao, I have an idea that I'd like to share with you!"
"Why are you being so polite with me? Speak! "
Ever since the two of them registered on the 16th of the first month, they had been exceptionally loving.
Xiao Qingshan, in particular, kept his promise. No matter what, no matter how big or small, he would ask for Xu Jingya's opinion. He also did his best for this family, washing clothes, cooking, buying groceries, and taking care of the children. He was like a real father and husband, doing everything by himself.
Because of this …
Xu Jingya respected him even more and returned the favor.
She asked for his opinion on everything. The couple discussed and forgave each other, and their days were exceptionally harmonious … They were both open-minded people who had experienced the vicissitudes of life, so they cherished this relationship.
Xu Jingya walked to Xiao Qingshan and poured hot water into his teacup. Then she continued, "Lao Xiao, Mi Xaing 'er's father's illness, so I'll have to trouble you! Whether he can be cured or not, we have to do our best! "
Xiao Qingshan picked up his teacup and took a few sips. "Jingya, I don't need you to say that. Chen Yaozhong is our real relative, so of course I have to do my best to treat him! Even if he doesn't look for me, I'll go and treat him! "
Us?
Real relative?
These words … warmed the hearts of both the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Mi Xaing 'er took over the conversation and said, "Thank you, Master!"
She smiled and said, "It doesn't seem right for me to always call you Master, right? After all, you and Mom are already married! "
From the corner of her eye, she saw Xu Jingya pursing her lips and smiling, her eyes full of happiness … She stood up and walked to Xiao Qingshan. She bowed respectfully and said, "Master, it's time for me to change the way I address you! From the day you and Mom registered, you were my father-in-law. I should have called you that a long time ago … Dad! "
She stretched out her hand and said, "Change the way you address me!"
Dad?
Xiao Qingshan smiled so widely that his eyes narrowed into slits. He reached into his pocket but couldn't find anything … He smiled embarrassedly and said, "I didn't bring any money with me!"
Xu Jingya hit Mi Xaing 'er's hand hard and said, "Don't be so smug! Lao Xiao has been taking care of the children and cooking for you these few days. It's good enough that he didn't ask you for money! You still want to ask him for money? In your dreams! "
Mi Xaing 'er pursed her lips and said, "Mom, you're shielding him again! When it comes to important matters, you can see who's closest to you! You always say that you dote on me and your grandson the most. Now that I see it, hmph! That's not the case at all! "
Xu Jingya raised her hand and was about to hit her.
Mi Xaing 'er slipped away and hid behind Xiao Qingshan.
Xiao Qingshan enjoyed this time of talking and laughing … At his age, he was already open-minded about some things. Perhaps money was just a passing cloud. To him, children and family were the most precious things.
He sighed contentedly and said, "Xiao Mi, to be honest, I treat you like a father and a teacher! I intend to let you inherit my legacy. I'm getting older, and I have to pass on what I know. Otherwise, when I pass away one day, Lao Xiao's medical skills and unique skills will disappear from this world. What a pity that would be! "
He stood up and walked out of the door quickly. After a while, he returned with a small yellowed oilcloth bag in his hand. He walked to the table and carefully opened it before placing it on the table. "Take this as my gift to Mi Xaing 'er?"
Xu Jingya looked down curiously and saw a handwritten book lying in the oilcloth bag. The words "Xiao's Medical Manual" were written on the cover … The paper was yellowed, and the ink was of different shades. The layout was vertical from right to left. It was obvious that it was an old book.
Xiao Qingshan pushed the book in front of Mi Xiang 'er and said with sincerity, "Our Xiao Family's ancestral medical book is a collection of the great achievements of many Imperial Physicians. There are thousands of prescriptions and medical records recorded inside. It can be said to be the essence of our Xiao Family's medical practice for generations! It can't be compared to the famous books of the ancients, but it can be considered a unique book! I'll give you this book sooner or later. It's better to give it to you early than late! Keep it well! "
This …
Mi Xaing 'er was stunned and didn't dare to reach out to take it. She knew what this book meant to Xiao Qingshan … Back then, someone had threatened Xiao Qingshan with the lives of his family members in order to obtain this medical manual. It was obvious that this book was very precious.
She raised her head slightly with a solemn expression. "Is this … appropriate?"
Xiao Qingshan smiled bitterly. "Why is it inappropriate? You're my dearest daughter and disciple now. If I don't give it to you … who else can I give it to? "
Xu Jingya said, "Mi Xaing 'er, keep it. Since it's such an important thing, Lao Xiao must have thought it through carefully before giving it to you! He must think that you're the most suitable person! He's not an impulsive person. If you don't have real skills, Lao Xiao won't look at you differently just because you call him Dad … He'll pass on his legacy! "
Xiao Qingshan gave her a look of appreciation and said in an extremely low voice, "Jingya, you know me well! That's right! I've thought about this for a long time! It's settled then! "
Then she turned to Mi Xaing 'er. "In the future, if there's anything you don't understand in this book, you can ask me immediately! You must keep this medical manual well. If Little Fengshou wants to learn medicine in the future … you can pass it to him! "
Now that things had come to this …
Mi Xaing 'er didn't say anything else. She solemnly wrapped the medical manual in oilskin paper and held it carefully in her arms. "Teacher, don't worry. I won't let you down!"
She paused and changed the way she addressed him. "Dad, I'll always remember your kindness to me and Fengshou!"
Xiao Qingshan narrowed her eyes and nodded. "I've given this medical manual to you for most of my life … Today, I'm putting it down! I'm passing it to you! "
She couldn't help but lament the passing of time. She murmured softly, "White-haired fishermen on the riverside, accustomed to the autumn moon and spring breeze. A pot of turbid wine brings us together. So many things in the past and present have turned into a joke! "
Three days later …
A small car from the provincial government's reception office stopped outside the courtyard of Xu Jingya's house.
Chen Jiaxuan walked in slowly. He looked at Mi Xaing 'er on the steps and smiled. "Are you ready?"
Mi Xaing 'er nodded. "Yes!"
Xu Jingya rushed over and tucked Little Fengshou in. She looked up at Mi Xaing 'er and said, "Don't be in a hurry to come back tonight! Spend more time with your parents! Especially your father! It's been so many years. This is the first time he's seen you, his grandson! He must be very emotional! "
