Xiao Qingshan was a proud and aloof person, but he was extremely gentle towards Xu Jingya.
Seeing her tapping on the table anxiously, he hurriedly coaxed her softly, "Jingya, don't be like this. Xiang 'er is my disciple and my child. How can I not be worried when her father is sick? Even so, I can't do anything that's beyond my abilities. "
The meaning of his words was obvious … He couldn't cure her.
Chen Yaozhong sighed softly. "Forget it! I'm mentally prepared! When I was in America, the doctor said that if I don't do chemotherapy, I only have half a year left at most! "
Tang Xiling covered her mouth with one hand and turned around. Although she didn't cry out loud, she looked even more pitiful.
Mi Xaing 'er hugged her mother and comforted her as she turned to look at Xiao Qingshan. "Is there really no other way?"
Xiao Qingshan shook his head helplessly. "I've already said …"
Xu Jingya didn't wait for him to finish. She unwillingly grabbed a writing brush and stuffed it into his hand. "You should at least prescribe some medicine for her. You're a doctor and the patient is right in front of you. How can you not do anything? "
Xiao Qingshan held the brush and pondered for a while. "There are many things that cannot be reconciled between Chinese medicine and Western medicine! From my personal point of view, I don't agree with chemotherapy. Chemotherapy kills cancer cells, but it also destroys the body's immune system! To put it bluntly, if Brother Chen does chemotherapy, I definitely won't do it again. I won't even prescribe medicine. Let him be! Cured? I won't take credit for it. Damaged? It has nothing to do with me! "
Chen Yaozhong raised his eyebrows. "You mean …"
Xiao Qingshan explained patiently, "It's very simple! Western medicine's chemotherapy simply means injecting a large amount of drugs. Chinese medicine is particular about the neutralization of drugs. If your body's immune system is damaged, I can't prescribe medicine for you! There's nothing I can do! Fortunately, you only had surgery to remove the lesion. This way … maybe I can do more? "
The corners of her eyes drooped slightly. "But I only said I'll try my best! I've never flaunted my superiority when it comes to medical skills! There was no end to learning, and no one was an immortal. There was always an incurable illness in the world! As a doctor, he had to do his best! No one can guarantee your lifespan! "
He changed the topic, "But my reputation is not undeserved! You've found me, but I'm helpless? I can't afford to lose face like that! "
The Tang Xiling turned around excitedly, the tears on her face still wet. "That means … you're willing to help?"
Xiao Qingshan looked at Chen Yaozhong and smiled faintly. "Prescribe some medicine! It's best if you stay by my side for three months. I'll observe your changes at all times and adjust the dosage and formula. Then, I'll supplement it with my ancestral acupuncture treatment. I, Xiao Qingshan, will say something arrogant. As long as I'm around … Western medicine says that you have six months. I don't dare to say more, but I can double that and guarantee you a year of peace! "
One year?
Peace!
To an ordinary person, this might be equivalent to a death sentence, but when Chen Yaozhong heard it, he suddenly couldn't help but be excited … This was the difference between a negative and an optimist.
A negative person would say … there was only one year left, and it wasn't enough!
An optimist would think … I have at least one year left, and I can do more!
Chen Yaozhong didn't care about other people's gazes. He pulled the Tang Xiling over and said, "Did you hear that? If there's really one more year, then I'll fulfill all the promises I've made to you before. I can accompany you to travel around the world. I can show you the ancient castles in England and the wineries in France. I can buy you the most expensive clothes and jewelry in the world. Or I can watch the sunset with you on the boundless ocean … "
He sighed happily. "If there's one year left, we can live together quietly, watch the flowers fall without a trace, listen to the autumn wind and drizzle, admire the plum blossoms and snow, and lie drunk under the eaves. We can do anything and nothing, and just enjoy life like that. How good would that be? I can die without regrets in this life! "
Although Military Commander Chen was ruthless in his actions, he still had the sentiments of a poet in him.
Tang Xiling gently rubbed the back of his hand. "Yaozhong, you're right! One year? "
She lowered her eyes. "It's a pity … there's only one year left!"
Chen Yaozhong complained softly, "You're just not satisfied! You have to think this way. This is God's blessing. The policy has changed, and I can return to China with you openly. We also met Magic Doctor Xiao. Otherwise … we wouldn't even have one year left! "
Tang Xiling didn't say anything.
She didn't know what to say … Should she thank God, or should she resent fate for playing tricks on her?
Xu Jingya asked softly, "In-laws, where are you staying now?"
"The provincial government's guest house!"
"Oh?" Xu Jingya turned his gaze to Xiao Qingshan. "Lao Xiao, I have an idea. What do you think? The in-laws are staying in a guest house. No matter how good the conditions are, it's not as good as home. Also, it's not so convenient to see a doctor if they're far away from you. I was thinking … "
Xiao Qingshan didn't wait for him to finish. She smiled and nodded. "Okay! If they're willing to move over and don't mind living with us, that's exactly what I want! Anyway, we've already transferred ownership of the house. We can move over after some packing! The place there is big … "
Suddenly, she paused and the smile on her face widened. "Hey, why don't we move over with Mi Xaing 'er too! Anyway, Tiger isn't at home now. She has to take care of the child, go to school, and cook! Why don't we all live together? She can spend more time with her parents, and the four of us can help her take care of the child. Isn't that beautiful? Let's share our family! "
Xiao Qingshan was an open-minded person and knew how to dote on his wife … Xu Jingya understood what she meant before she finished her sentence. She believed in her and agreed without hesitation and did the best he could.
When Xu Jingya heard this, she was, of course, happy … She hadn't finished her sentence, but her husband had already done it. What else could she complain about?
She turned to Tang Xiling and said, "I won't force you. Go back and think about it! The house that Lao Xiao and I bought is bigger than this one. You can live in the backyard. It's quiet there and you won't disturb each other. What if Mi Xaing 'er moves over there? Then you'll be on all fours! "
Tang Xiling asked casually, "Oh? You've already bought a new house. Congratulations! Where will it be? You didn't buy a house? Nowadays, trendy families … Don't they all like to live in apartments? "
Xu Jingya waved her hand and said, "We're old-fashioned people. We still like single-story houses. Apartments are too stuffy and there's no place to plant flowers. Besides, when we get older, it'll be inconvenient for us to go up and down! Hmm? The location is near the General's residence. It's a medium-sized courtyard house … "
Chen Yaozhong narrowed his eyes and said, "If I remember correctly, the courtyard house near the General's residence is … Miss Liu's house, right? I remember that the General's residence is just a street away from her house! "
"Yes! You know that house too? "
"Of course!" Chen Yaozhong pursed his lips and smiled. "Brother Xiao, have you forgotten what I used to do? At that time, I was a frequent visitor to the Marshal's Residence. The Marshal liked to listen to operas. Boss Ma and Boss Cheng from Beijing had both gone to his residence to sing. I also liked Beijing opera a little. Of course, I couldn't miss the excitement! "
That's right!
Chen Yaozhong was an elite warlord who had just returned from studying abroad. He must have done a lot of "eating, drinking, and playing" in the city.
His life was full of ups and downs, but overall, the hardships he suffered … were far less than those of the current generation who stayed in the country and experienced turmoil.
He turned to look at the Tang Xiling and smiled softly. "You should still remember Miss Liu's house, right? That's where we met for the first time! At that time, your cousin brought you here to watch the fun … Sigh! How many years have passed in the blink of an eye? It's like a previous life! I didn't expect that after Brother Xiao bought this house, we would have the fate to visit that place again! "
Tang Xiling's face carried the shy smile of a young girl, as if she had suddenly returned to another time and space. "Exactly! How many years has it been? I remember that there were a few big ginkgo trees in the courtyard. They were very beautiful! I met you in autumn. The courtyard was full of golden leaves. You were wearing a military uniform and admiring the chrysanthemums in the backyard with your hands behind your back. When my cousin called your name, you turned around and saw a ginkgo leaf falling on your shoulder … "
She stopped talking.
Her eyes were full of gentle happiness.
It was better not to see each other when they met. A single glance could ruin a lifetime … Since then, their love had been going around in circles for decades. They had been together for most of their lives. In the end, they were together again. It was not easy.
Xu Jingya pursed her lips and smiled. "Oh, so there's such a romantic story between the two of you? You fell in love at a young age and your heart belongs to someone else. No wonder you two are so devoted! "
The Tang Xiling lowered her head in embarrassment. "Sister Xu, look at what you're saying!"
Chen Yaozhong was generous. "Fell in love at a young age? That's true! I was also high-spirited at that time. There were many people who liked me! But ever since I set my mind on Xi Ling, there was no one else in my eyes. I gave my heart to her, and I gave my life to her! "
He smiled faintly. "I really want to live in that house! Brother Xiao, I won't hide it from you. If you don't buy that house, I will definitely buy it! I can bring my wife and family to live out the rest of my life in the place where I first met Xi Ling. It's not a bad thing! Unfortunately, you beat me to it! If you're willing to part with it, I'm willing to pay double the price! "
Ah?
Xiao Qingshan raised an eyebrow …
