Chapter 221 Remembering Tong and Qin
Qiao Yicheng and Xiang Nanfang ultimately did not divorce.
Zhang Jianjun didn't know if the two of them had returned to their previous intimacy in private, but at least on the surface, there were no problems.
Qiao Simei managed the company fairly well; although there wasn't much progress, there was no regression either. At least she didn't make a complete mess of the company.
Three months later, Qiao Sanli also gave birth to a daughter.
"Come here, let me give you a hug!"
Wei Shuying took the baby from Wu Fenglan's arms with delight, "Daughters are the best! Look how beautiful she is!"
Qiao Erqiang had a son who was fairly good-looking, but he was always dirty and didn't like to clean himself. Qiao Erqiang and Sun Shaofen would clean him up at night, but he would be dirty again before noon the next day.
Wei Shuying was a clean person, and after she said a few words to her grandson, the boy held a grudge and kept saying that he didn't like his grandmother.
After talking about it so much, Wei Shuying really started to dislike that grandson.
"Xiaojun, have you decided on a name yet?"
Zhang Jianjun was feeding Qiao Sanli when he heard Wei Shuying's question. He put down his spoon and said, "Get up, call Zhang Yiqin!"
"Zhang Yiqin, Zhang Yiqin," Wei Shuying repeated twice. "It sounds alright, but does it have any special meaning?"
Zhang Jianjun continued feeding her with the spoon without turning around, "It just means to be more diligent. I also want her to have a more straightforward and frank personality, which will make her happier."
"Cheer up! Good day!"
As they were talking, Xiao Yiqin suddenly burst into tears.
Wu Fenglan touched the diaper. "It needs changing. I'll change her one and put her on the bed for now. You know, people these days are so clever; they can make anything!"
"That's right, they really can create anything outside. I've even heard of people who create humans, called dragon people."
As Qiao Sanli listened to the two elderly people rambling on about social development, she exchanged a glance with Zhang Jianjun, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.
Only a few close relatives and friends were invited to Xiao Yiqin's one-month celebration.
Qiao Yicheng and Xiang Nanfang were the last to arrive.
Qiao Simei's voice was incredibly loud, "Big brother, you guys are way too late! Even Brother Min arrived earlier than you!"
Xiang Nanfang was a little embarrassed, "I had a meeting today, and I couldn't miss it, so I'm a bit late!"
She's been transferred back and is now the top leader in the district. Her work remains just as demanding.
Qiao Sanli walked over and said, "Sister-in-law, don't listen to Qiao Simei's nonsense. It's not too late! There's still plenty of time!"
Qi Weimin looked at Qiao Yicheng with envy in his eyes. He hadn't continued his postgraduate studies because his father was seriously ill and needed medical expenses, so he had been working at the magazine. Although he had been promoted to editor-in-chief, his salary wasn't much higher. Qiao Yicheng, on the other hand, was riding high, having married the daughter of a high-ranking official; his future was sure to be even brighter.
Although he admired him, he wasn't jealous. If he had to choose again, he still wouldn't go for graduate school.
Qiao Yicheng sat down and chatted with his younger siblings. They didn't see each other often and he didn't know how they were doing, so the full moon celebration was a good opportunity for them to get together.
Qiao Erqiang's restaurant has finally been upgraded, and the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall dish that Zhang Jianjun taught him is indeed delicious. With this dish, Qiao Erqiang has made a name for himself, and the newly opened restaurant now requires reservations to secure a table.
Now free from the burdens of her father, and with her mother largely able to care for herself, Sun Shaofen hired a housekeeper to help look after her. Sun Shaofen then devoted herself entirely to helping Qiao Erqiang. While Qiao Erqiang was a skilled cook, he lacked management skills, so Sun Shaofen took over. From purchasing supplies to menus and waiters, everything was arranged by Sun Shaofen.
"Sister-in-law, when are you going to have children?"
Qiao Yicheng felt that Qiao Simei was deliberately bringing up topics that shouldn't be discussed!
But actually, Qiao Simei didn't like her sister-in-law. She felt her sister-in-law was going too far, taking advantage of Qiao Yicheng's easygoing nature. She thought it would be better to divorce her!
An idealist's fantasy marriage must be wonderful!
"It'll be soon; it's already on the agenda!"
Xiang Nanfang's answer surprised Qiao Yicheng.
When Qiao Yicheng looked at Xiang Nanfang, Xiang Nanfang also looked at Qiao Yicheng and smiled at him. Qiao Yicheng also twitched the corners of his mouth.
Qiao Simei was the only one in the Qiao family who was still unmarried. Wei Shuying wanted to find a blind date for Qiao Simei again. When she returned to Shamao Lane with Qiao Simei, she asked Qiao Simei what her requirements were.
Qiao Simei didn't object, but she had rather strict conditions: "He must be prettier and more capable than the soldier!"
"You still won't give up? Your sister's already married!"
"You know what kind of people they are. If Qiao Sanli can do this, why can't I?"
Wei Shuying raised her hand and slapped Qiao Simei across the face, "But she's your sister!"
Qiao Simei didn't dodge, taking the blow squarely. After being hit, she didn't lower her head, but looked up at the roof beam. "In this life, one should find someone who suits their heart, otherwise, wouldn't this life be wasted? I, Qiao Simei, will definitely marry the person I love!"
Wei Shuying was somewhat annoyed, wondering why she had let Zhang Jianjun help her take care of her child.
Before I knew it, both children had been taken away!
Indeed, every sin a person commits will be punished! And sloth is one of the seven deadly sins!
Protestantism has spread quite widely in China, and even Wei Shuying had heard a little about its doctrines. She just felt that they made sense, but they didn't seem to have anything to do with faith.
"Si Mei, you don't need to be in such a hurry. You're still young, you have plenty of time. Take your time to think it over! You'll figure it out eventually."
Ignoring Qiao Simei, he walked into the bedroom and slammed the door shut.
Only three months later, Xiang Nanfang called Zhang Jianjun and said, "Jianjun, come and get me checked out."
Zhang Jianjun hesitated, unsure whether this physical examination was legitimate.
Fortunately, Qiao Yicheng was also home, which put Zhang Jianjun at ease. "What's wrong?"
Xiang Nanfang extended his wrist. "Take my pulse first!"
“I’ve got it! No wonder you asked me to come and see you! Why didn’t you go to the hospital for a checkup?” Zhang Jianjun gave his diagnosis.
Qiao Yicheng laughed and said, "I went there. Nanfang insisted that you take his pulse to see if your medical skills have declined!"
“That’s impossible! You must have something else going on.” Zhang Jianjun said with great certainty, very confident in his medical skills.
Xiang Nanfang then smiled and said, "We really can't hide it from you! We've been busy with work lately and haven't been exercising much, so we wanted to ask you to help us get better."
Zhang Jianjun understood what Xiang Nanfang meant. "No problem, extend your hand again, and I'll take another look."
Zhang Jianjun has a lot of experience in conditioning the bodies of pregnant women, and a few minutes later he gave a conditioning plan that combines medicine and food for a period of time.
Zhang Jianjun wrote down the usage, dosage, and precautions on a piece of white paper, then looked up at Qiao Yicheng. "Since we're already here, why don't we take a look together?"
"I don't need to look at it!" Qiao Yicheng was still a little flattered, as Zhang Jianjun had never been so kind to him before.
"I already said, since you're here, hurry up and reach out, stop dawdling!"
Qiao Yicheng seemed somewhat reluctant to extend his hand, feeling as if all the emotion he had just felt had been wasted!
Zhang Jianjun glanced at Qiao Yicheng's expression. "First of all, let me make one thing clear: I will not joke about seeing a doctor!"
Xiang Nanfang had some guesses but wasn't sure. "Jianjun, what do you mean by this?"
"Brother Yicheng, he's sick! He has nephritis and needs immediate treatment. It's in the early stages now, so it's relatively easy to treat. If it's delayed until the middle or late stages, it will be much more difficult to treat, and some patients will even need a kidney transplant to survive!"
"No wonder you've been holding your back so often lately! I thought you were just tired, but it turns out it's because of nephritis!" Xiang Nanfang looked at Qiao Yicheng, as if he had suddenly realized something.
"Jianjun, could you prescribe some medicine for him too? I'll make sure he takes it!"
"No problem!" Zhang Jianjun took out his pen again and started writing, while reminding him once more, "Don't delay, you have to get treatment as soon as possible!"
