Chapter 314 Old John Visits
It was not until the third day when Xia Songlan met Xia Xique who came to the hospital for treatment that she learned the final result.
Xia Xique brought her husband Hou Guodong for a physical examination. While Hou Guodong was doing the B-ultrasound examination, he told Xia Songlan the final result of that day.
"I heard from my mother that in the end, my eldest uncle, my third uncle and my aunt agreed to my grandfather remarrying.
But he only agreed to let the two of them live together, and did not agree to get a marriage certificate."
"Is this okay? Aunt Zheng also agreed."
Xia Xique nodded, "We can't call her Aunt Zheng anymore. Grandpa asked us to call her Grandma Zheng."
Xia Songlan curled her lips.
Xia Xique continued, "Grandma Zheng said that it doesn't matter whether they get a marriage certificate or not, because she really loves grandpa and is willing to live with him wholeheartedly.
I will take care of grandpa until he grows old."
Xia Songlan did not comment on this result.
Xia Xique turned the topic back to Dong Guodong, "Songlan, is your brother-in-law really suffering from a terminal illness as you said?"
Xia Songlan held Xia Xique's hand and said, "Sister, don't worry. My brother-in-law probably has kidney stones.
It really hurts. In severe cases, you may urinate blood or even faint from the pain.
But as long as the stone is broken, the disease will be cured, it is not a terminal illness."
Xia Xique's face, which had been filled with sorrow, finally showed a hint of a smile. "That's good, that's good. I was really worried that something bad might happen to him."
Xia Songlan had heard about the relationship between Xia Xique and his wife from Liu Erya before, and knew that they had a very good relationship.
Although Dong Guodong is a mute, he has a handsome face and is very caring.
Xia Xique was taken good care of by him, so for Dong Guodong she gave up the opportunity to return to the city and stayed in the village primary school as a teacher.
Dong Guodong is her pillar of support in the village. If anything happens to him, Xia Xique will not be able to accept it at all.
When the test results came out, it was indeed kidney stones, just as Xia Songlan had diagnosed.
However, the stones were quite large and there were many of them, so he could not expel them by himself. Xia Songlan suggested that Dong Guodong be hospitalized for treatment.
Dong Guodong listened to Xia Xique. Even though he was in so much pain, he still looked at Xia Xique.
Xia Xique grabbed his hand and said, "Why are you looking at me? If you are sick, you need to treat it. You have been sick for a long time, but you didn't say anything and just endured it.
If I hadn’t fainted from the pain that day, I wouldn’t have known.
Are you trying to scare me to death?"
As she spoke, her eyes became tearful and she was about to cry.
Dong Guodong doesn't know sign language, but he can write. For so many years, the couple has relied on writing to communicate. He hurriedly took out a small notebook from his pocket.
He wrote very quickly: "Don't be sad, magpie, I will listen to you, I will be hospitalized if you ask me to.
Didn't Isatis say it wasn't a serious illness? I'll be back soon."
Xia Songlan also put her arm around Xia Xique's shoulders, "Sister, don't worry, I'm here. Brother-in-law, this is not a serious illness, you will recover soon."
On the day when Xia Xique brought Dong Guodong to the hospital for diagnosis, Grandpa actually set up two tables in the restaurant, but only invited Aunt Zheng's family members.
They only allowed Xia Sumu to participate.
It would be more accurate to say that he was asking Xia Sumu to pay for the meal rather than asking her to attend his wedding banquet.
From beginning to end, Grandpa ignored Xia Sumu and instead talked and laughed with Aunt Zheng's two children.
After Xia Sumu returned home, he almost got sick from anger.
Zhou Sangning treated this as a joke and told Xia Songlan about it.
Xia Songlan was also sighing.
But Xia Songlan didn't take this matter to heart.
During the following period of time, Xia Songlan was particularly busy.
A group of experts from Country M, including Old John and Little John, will soon arrive in Beijing to start a ten-day study and exchange program.
Xia Songlan and her grandfather both received a notice from the Ministry of Health, asking them to participate in this reception as members of the reception team.
Grandpa knew some time ago that Old John was coming.
In order to welcome Old John, grandma and I went to various shopping malls to buy many gifts with various Chinese elements, and prepared to let Old John take them back when they returned.
It is also a way to thank Old John for taking care of Xia Songlan before.
Xia Songlan also welcomed the arrival of Old John and his party.
On the day of the airport pick-up, Xia Songlan and her grandfather arrived at the airport early along with the reception team.
The last time, grandpa brought Xia Songlan to visit Country M, and old John warmly welcomed them.
This time, it was grandpa who came to pick up old John and the others.
Two old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years met again and were so excited that they burst into tears.
Old John patted Grandpa on the shoulder and said, "Old man, why are you shorter than before?"
Grandpa straightened his back with all his strength. "You were so thin that time, but look at how fat you are now. Have your trouser waists caught up with your trouser legs?"
Everyone watched them teasing each other and laughed along.
Little John happily walked up to Xia Songlan and gave her a big hug without giving her any chance to refuse.
Just like the last time he went to the airport to pick up Xia Songlan, he held her and spun around, "Songlan, why are you still so beautiful? Even more beautiful than before.
What should I do? I feel like my heart is beating again. "
"What can I do? Just leave it alone. This is my territory, so put away those little thoughts of yours."
Xia Songlan winked at him mischievously, "You forgot what my lover said."
Little John still remembers the words Ning Jingmo warned him.
Subconsciously, he searched for Ning Jingmo's figure in the crowd, lowered his head and asked softly, "Is your lover a security guard again now?"
Xia Songlan shook her head, "That's not the case."
Little John breathed a sigh of relief.
Xia Songlan smiled and continued, "But my wife is responsible for the security of the entire Chinese country."
Little John's eyes widened in fear. "Doesn't that mean his spies are everywhere?"
After saying that, he took two steps back and said, "Then I'd better keep my distance from you. His fist is quite big."
After saying that, both of them burst into laughter.
Little John thought Xia Songlan was joking.
Xia Songlan really believed that the People's Liberation Army was to protect the entire Chinese people.
There's just no need to explain it to him.
Everyone drove to the hotel arranged by the reception team.
After waiting, Old John was not satisfied.
He said to Director Wang of the reception team: "This environment is good, but I don't want to live here. I want to live at my old friend Zhou's house.
Director Wang looked at my grandfather with some embarrassment.
Grandpa said with a smile: “I knew this old guy was plotting against me.
Come on, I have already made arrangements. You can stay at our house as long as you want."
Team leader Wang asked the minister for instructions.
The minister believes that as long as they can entertain the experts from Country M well, it doesn’t matter where they live.
Then they sent Old John and Little John to their grandfather's yard.
When Old John arrived at his grandfather's yard, he was instantly attracted by the beautiful scenery in the yard.
"You have been cunning since you were young. You have such a good place, but you hide it from me and don't let me come.
If I hadn't taken the initiative to ask, you wouldn't have let me come to your secret base."
Grandpa had mentioned his courtyard to Old John before, and he always said it was his secret little base, and Old John had always longed for it.
