After resting for a while in Qing He Village, Liu Yan went to a few villagers' houses and looked at the chickens they raised. After comparing them, he could tell that there was something fishy about them.
Fortunately, they had always been feeding the tofu properly. With this comparison, Liu Yan also had a way to treat them.
He told the villagers that the standard for raising the meat was based on the Xishi family's tofu. It didn't matter if he fed the fodder now, he wouldn't get the money back, but if the meat quality did not meet the standard when he bought it, then he would continue to raise it until the meat quality met the standard.
With so many people raising chickens, he would have to see which family had the thickest skin and obviously wanted to take advantage of them. When the time came, he would be scolded to death by the villagers, and he, Liu Yan, would first pay them and earn money with everyone.
In the afternoon, Liu Yan rushed back to town and got on a car. When he arrived at the town government area to wait for the car, he suddenly heard a surprised voice from behind him.
"Liu Yan!"
Liu Yan immediately turned around and smiled. It was Zhou Qian.
The weather began to heat up. Zhou Qian was wearing a black pleated skirt, making her legs seem even more delicate. The upper half of her body was covered in a white t-shirt, which fit perfectly, showing off her exquisite curves.
"I haven't seen you in a long time. My grandpa was talking about you just now." Zhou Qian ran over with the Jade Rabbit in her chest bobbing up and down. Liu Yan, who was no longer a little brat, felt his face turn hot when he saw this.
"I was just thinking of waiting for the car here. Is the old man in good health?" Seeing Zhou Qian, Liu Yan was also very happy. In his mind, he recalled the time when they were brewing medicine together in the kitchen. The bits and pieces of it gathered together in his heart like a warm current.
"I just went to buy some food, let's go to my house. My grandpa is always talking about you." Zhou Qian giggled.
"Alright!" Liu Yan immediately nodded his head. Compared to delaying the bus, the old man's concern was naturally more important.
As the two walked home, they chatted about recent developments. Zhou Qian was very surprised that Liu Yan no longer opened a clinic and instead went to open a restaurant in the county.
Arriving at Zhou Qian's house, Old Man Zhou was already able to move around as he searched the yard with the hoe.
"Lordmaster, what are you doing?" Liu Yan stepped forward to greet him.
"Oh wow, Liu Yan. It's been a long time since I've seen you. Dig for earthworms. When we go out to fish later." Old Man Zhou smiled warmly as he slowly walked over, shaking the plastic bottle in his hand.
"Yesterday, I was talking to Zhou Qian. I wanted to ask her how the environment in your village is. Is there a decent stream? I'm going to fish."
"Sure, but our village has a river. There aren't many big fish and many small ones, but the road is a little long." Liu Yan pursed his lips into a smile. It seemed like the old man's body was recovering quite well.
"It's okay, a few fishing friends have a car. As long as it's a good relationship with the fish, it's fine to run a bit further away. The environment in the mountains is good too. It's not that hot, I like it." Old Man Zhou chuckled happily.
"Don't say it here, come in." Zhou Qian gestured for the two to enter the house.
After sitting down, Zhou Qian couldn't help but talk about Liu Yan's restaurant in the county to the old man.
"Liu Yan, your medical skills are so good, why are you opening a restaurant? If you want to earn money, then tell me, I will recommend you to a military hospital. If you have the chance, you can enter the system and become a military doctor. This job is both decent and profitable, and it will also allow you to speak up and bring benefits to many people."
"Old Master, with my current abilities, I won't be able to enter those lofty places. I understand your painstaking efforts, but I want to do something of my own. I know the Vice President of the Provincial Chinese Medical Association, and if I have the chance, I will go to the provincial capital. They can also be considered to have contributed a little to the Chinese Medical Association by exchanging medical techniques." Liu Yan hurriedly explained.
"Sigh, that's fine too." Old Man Zhou sighed, still feeling rather helpless.
"Let me show you your body." Liu Yan stepped forward and examined the old tutor's pulse.
After a circle, Liu Yan gave a thumbs up, "The old gramps is in good health right now, so it's not a problem for him to live for a long time."
Old Man Zhou couldn't stop smiling, "This is all thanks to Qian Qian taking care of me for a hundred years, sigh …"
Saying this, he let out another long sigh and turned his head to look at Zhou Qian with an expression of love.
"Is there a problem?" Zhou Qian is so filial, you should be happy. " Liu Yan was puzzled.
Old Man Zhou nodded, "Of course I'm happy, but I've troubled Qian Qian, which has ruined the child's future. I'm a dying old man, and even if I have to take care of her, it's fine for me to hire a nanny. Qian Qian is still young and can't study anymore, just to take care of me …"
"Grandpa, don't talk about this anymore. I can self-study while you only have one." Zhou Qian went up to comfort her.
Only now did Liu Yan understand that this pair of children and grandchildren depended on each other for their lives. One side was like a withered leaf entering autumn, while the other side was a bud in spring. He sighed in his heart. Zhou Qian's filial piety was too touching.
I feel good at home. Even if I go to school and leave you alone at home, I probably won't be able to learn it, and I'll be able to learn better at home. I've also registered, and after two days of exams, I'll be able to get a letter of admission to university. Zhou Qian continued to comfort her.
"You can even take the college entrance exam without going to school? You can even get into a university? " Liu Yan was stunned.
"Just self-study is enough. Grandfather helped me find someone to register in the county's high school. I'm actually a student of the county's high school. I'm just studying at home." Zhou Qian smiled proudly.
"So that's how it is." Liu Yan came to a realization.
"Right, Liu Yan, are you free in a while? "It's almost time for the college entrance exam. Qian Qian will be going to the county for the exam and will be staying in the county for at least two nights. I'm a bit worried, help me take care of it." Old Man Zhou said.
Liu Yan nodded his head. "Of course not."
"Aiya, I'm not a child anymore. I just need a room near the school." Zhou Qian disagreed.
"No!" For a girl like her to stay outside, it would be best for her to be more careful. Since Liu Yan is opening a shop in the county, he should at least have someone to look after him. " Old Man Zhou firmly said.
After chatting for a while, Old Man Zhou told Liu Yan to eat here. He happily agreed and went into the kitchen to help Zhou Qian with her work.
In the end, Liu Yan still gave Zhou Qian the medicinal food. She was very meticulous and her movements were slow and unhurried. Liu Yan could only watch and enjoy it a little.
Zhou Qian was different from Zhang Xiaohua who was lively and lively. She had a gentle and quiet aura around her, which was also very attractive.
In the kitchen, the two of them worked separately. Liu Yan felt as if he was back in the kitchen, brewing medicine that day, and a sense of intimacy arose in his heart.
After chatting about studying for a while, Zhou Qian giggled and said, "Since you're already the owner of a restaurant, you'll have to take care of all my meals for the next two days."
"Of course not, I'll keep your food safe for you. Don't forget that I'm a doctor, I can't help you with anything else. It won't be a problem if I let you eat well and drink well." Suddenly, he had a trace of doubt as he asked in a low voice, "Isn't your grandfather's comrade in arms in the county? Huang Changjiang, Boss Huang, you're so rich. Your grandfather is worried about your safety outside, so why didn't he let you stay in Boss Huang's house? "
Zhou Qian shook her head and whispered, "Grandpa doesn't want to trouble others."
"Ai, it's not like they're distant relatives. They have such a good relationship." Liu Yan was puzzled.
"Grandfather is such a person. To use a word to describe him, he has a noble character and a noble character. Uncle Huang made his own real estate and originally wanted to take Grandfather to the county city to live. He rejected the idea of giving him a house."
Liu Yan was suddenly filled with admiration. A house? Giving it away for free? He was actually able to refuse it.
"Actually, your grandpa and I are the same, I also don't want to take advantage of Boss Huang." Liu Yan smiled gleefully.
"Come on." Zhou Qian rolled her eyes.
Really, I raised a type of green food in the village, which I planned to promote. I wanted to go to Boss Huang's scenic restaurant to check out the situation and sell it to the tourists, but I thought better of it, it's not really appropriate.
Zhou Qian pursed her lips and smiled. "If you go, I might look down on you. Big Boss can't care about the matter of a few chickens."
"True."
As they chatted, they prepared dinner.
After the meal, Zhou Qian cleaned up the dishes. Liu Yan also wanted to help, but he was stopped by Old Man Zhou.
"Take a walk outside with me."
"Grandpa has to walk after dinner every night, but it's too early today. Why don't you stay for a while?" Zhou Qian said with a smile.
"It's fine, walk slowly. It's good for digestion." Liu Yan stood up and followed behind Old Man Zhou.
Although the residential area of the town government staff dormitory wasn't as big as the city, the environment was still good. There were trees growing in the shade, and there was also a basketball court.
With regards to Liu Yan not becoming a doctor and going to open a restaurant, Old Man Zhou still felt somewhat unhappy, but he still gave a few words of advice.
There was a stone chair by the side of the path. Old Master Zhou walked up and sat down, then called Liu Yan over.
"Liu Yan, how long do you think I will live?" A question suddenly popped up in Zhou Dufu's mind.
Liu Yan stared blankly, before carefully replying, "I feel that even if Zhou Qian marries and has children, it won't be a problem."
Old Man Zhou laughed happily, "Don't comfort me, Qianqian is only in her early twenties, she's still early for marriage. You youngsters all have the habit of getting married late, and have been in love for many years. Even if you get married, you may not directly give birth to a child, Qianqian hasn't even had a boyfriend yet, she will only have a child five or six years ago."
"Five or six years isn't a problem. Your body is very strong and healthy right now." Liu Yan replied with certainty.
Zhou Dufu shook his head, "I'm getting old, and my body is getting worse every day, and I can't be sure when I'll die. Some of my comrades were still fine the day before, but at night, a gust of wind might blow over.
"With me here, such a thing would never happen." Liu Yan could guarantee that as long as the fatal illness didn't die, he would be able to treat it.
"Of course I don't worry about your medical skills. A while ago, I went to see Old Yellow, but after you treated him, his body recovered a lot." However, there is only one thing that a wise man can do wrong. There is no such thing as absolute certainty in this world. "
"As long as you're in a good mood, there's absolutely no problem." Liu Yan comforted her as much as possible.
I've lived long enough, but thinking about Qianqian, I feel uncomfortable. Such a good child, she has been sensible since she was young, and she didn't go to school after junior high school, and she has been taking care of me at home. Sigh, her filial piety is too much. Old Man Zhou's face was filled with regret.
"Children have their own blessings. Didn't she say it before? It's the same at home."
"How can it be the same? There are some classmates in the school, so the teacher's lecture has a wide field of vision. She doesn't even have many friends by my side and doesn't dare to walk around. She has always been in this little town.
This question was indeed quite heavy, so Liu Yan could only say, "Zhou Qian is very smart. She can teach herself and learn a lot of things. Isn't there a saying? Elementary Scholars don't go out and know everything about the world."
"Hur hur, the era is different." The old man sighed again as he stared at Liu Yan, "Liu Yan, you are one year older than Qian Qian, right?"
"Yes, I'm twenty-one this year." Liu Yan felt a bit guilty. It was all because of him, and he also had a premonition that some things would pop out from the old man's mouth.
"Do you like Qianqian?" The old man asked.
