Chapter 1241 You don’t even have 5 minutes?
It was not yet six o'clock when I came back from dinner at Lao Mo's Restaurant.
Although the premium canned braised beef, Moscow borscht, grilled sea bass in milk sauce, and bread basket of Leba are all pretty good, Li Xiangnan is still not used to eating Western food, so he just enjoys the elegant and refined atmosphere here.
After all, the two female comrades, Song Yi and Jian Jingzhe, prefer this place.
So we didn't drink much, just two bottles of red wine, and then we chatted lively for a while and then came back.
After entering the courtyard and just as he was about to go through the hanging flower gate, Li Xiangnan was called. He turned around and saw that it was Aunt Lu.
"Xiao Li, her aunt sent some brown sugar, eggs, and red dates in late spring. Take some back and give some to Xiao Qin!"
This was a wedding gift sent by Wu's relatives after they found out that Wu Chunchun was pregnant, with the intention of wishing her to have a son soon.
"Aunt Lu, these are all for Sister Wanchun! Ruobai now..." Li Xiangnan subconsciously wanted to refuse.
"Here!" Aunt Lu stuffed the bamboo basket into his arms and said, "Auntie just hopes you guys can hurry up! It's great that the two little guys can grow up together! Go back, go back!"
Li Xiangnan had no choice but to accept it. When he looked up, he saw Wu Wanchun standing at the door of Zhou's house, stroking her belly and looking at him with a smile.
They got married in October. Now her belly is four months pregnant and her pregnancy is obvious even when she wears a cotton jacket.
"Aunt Lu, you will definitely give me a big fat grandson!" Li Xiangnan couldn't help but smiled and said, "Then I'd like to thank you on behalf of Ruobai!"
Carrying the bamboo basket back to the backyard, he suddenly saw Wu Xiaoyun talking to his mother Zhu Qiuju in the front yard.
Seeing that she was back, Wu Xiaoyun patted Zhu Qiuju's hand in embarrassment, and said with a smile: "Aunt, I won't stay any longer now that Dr. Li is back! Be sure to tell Xiao Qin what I said, I'm leaving now!"
"Thank you very much, you are so thoughtful!" Zhu Qiuju pulled her hand and shook it.
"You're welcome!" Wu Xiaoyun walked away with a smile.
"Mom, is she okay?" Li Xiangnan shook the bamboo basket he was holding, "Aunt Lu sent me a baby boy soon!"
"It's true that a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor! Relationships are built through interaction!" Zhu Qiuju sighed, handing over a yellow talisman and a beautifully embroidered sachet. "Wu Xiaoyun went to Hongluo Temple to pray for the Goddess of Fertility for Xiao Qin!"
Li Xiangnan felt warm in his heart and silently tightened his hands on the bamboo basket, "You really are thoughtful!"
Zhu Qiuju led him into the house, pasted the yellow talisman on the back of the door, and hung the sachet on the head of the bed. "There is Putuo in the south and Hongluo in the north. People in Yanjing say that this first ancient temple in the north of Beijing is the most effective for praying for children! I was thinking of going there secretly to pray, but I was afraid that your grandfather would say..."
She lowered her eyes and said with a distressed tone, "Mom just hopes that you are safe, but I can't bear it in my heart, I always feel like something is missing..."
Li Xiangnan squatted down, put the bamboo basket aside, gently held his mother's hand, and said softly: "Mom, I know, you also want to hold a grandchild, Ruobai also wants to get pregnant, I know it all! Don't worry, it's not that you can't get pregnant, we are really just too busy! You will definitely be able to hold a house full of grandchildren in the future!"
He didn't dare tell his mother that he had arranged for someone to go to Neon to import the ultrasound machine and that he would be returning home soon!
Sometimes a white lie can often maintain people's hope.
puff!
Zhu Qiuju burst into laughter and rubbed Li Xiangnan's head. "How can I be so obsessed? There is a house full of grandchildren. I hope you and Ruobai will have your own children! Son, don't feel pressured. Mom knows that you have your own plans for everything! Just let it go! Sometimes I envy your Aunt Lu, but it's also human nature. It will be fine after a while, it will be fine!"
"Mom, I know!" Li Xiangnan took his mother's hand and rubbed it on his cheek.
Zhu Qiuju said, "Ruobai called and said he has to be on duty at work today and won't be back for dinner! Have you eaten yet? I'll get you something to eat!"
"I've eaten! I ate at Lao Mo's restaurant with Song Yi and the others! I'll take a shower and go to bed later! I've been very tired lately!"
"That's fine!" Zhu Qiuju stood up and reminded, "I called the Lin family, and they agreed to celebrate the Little New Year at our house! Tomorrow, ask your dad to send some cakes over. I made some bacon, and ask your dad to take it with him. Go again, and call twice to show your respect! Be polite!"
"Mom, it's all up to you!"
His mother left soon. Li Xiangnan put away the brown sugar eggs and dates. He sat at the head of the bed and touched the sachet of Hongluo Temple. He sighed and said, "Son, you are so picky in choosing your mother. Your mother is one of the few good comrades in the whole city of Yanjing! You made the right choice by choosing her!"
Silent all night.
Li Xiangnan didn't have to go to school or work the next day, so for the first time in his life he didn't get up early.
After breakfast, I pushed the cart out of the backyard at around nine o'clock and prepared to go to the Shichahai Ice Rink to meet up with Song Yi and the others. The appointment was at ten o'clock, and after we were done, we went to Donglaishun to eat mutton hotpot together.
"Doctor Li!"
As soon as he walked out of the hanging flower gate in the backyard, Li Xiangnan was stopped.
Looking back, I saw He Dashuang squatting by the door with a worried look on his face. There were at least three packs of cigarettes on the ground in front of him.
"Brother He, you're addicted enough that no matter how strong your lungs are, they can't stand it!" Li Xiangnan pulled the corner of his mouth and thought to himself that it's only been two days, how come the expression on this man's face has changed so much.
He glanced at the old He family and guessed that the middle-aged woman Qin Chunlian was probably up to something weird again.
"Doctor Li!" He Dashuang took out another pack of cigarettes from his pocket and opened it in front of him. It was a pack of high-end Temple of Heaven. He took out the first one and handed it to Li Xiangnan. "I want to ask you something!"
“…” Li Xiangnan was shocked and rolled his eyes silently.
I tell you, if He Dashuang blocks me, something is bound to happen.
"Brother He, if you have something to say, come find me at home! You're just sitting here waiting for nothing!"
"Hehe!" He Dashuang smiled embarrassedly, "There are people at home, so it's not convenient to talk!"
"Then tell me quickly, I have something else to do!" Li Xiangnan looked around and reminded him, "No one is here!"
"Well!" He Dashuang pulled him and squeezed to a secluded corner of his house, with an extremely embarrassed and cautious look on his face, "Doctor Li, how long do you usually take?"
"What are you doing?" Li Xiangnan became alert instantly. "If you want to see a doctor, don't be shy about telling the doctor about your condition! Why are you asking about my privacy? I start with an hour, you can't compare to me!"
"Sure enough!" He Dashuang's face darkened instantly. "Xu Damao may be a bastard, but he never tells lies to you!"
"..." Li Xiangnan pulled the corner of his mouth and said with a dark face: "Damn, how did this old guy Da Mao know?"
He Dashuang didn't answer, but Li Xiangnan understood instantly.
Living opposite Xu Damao, it’s hard for him not to know how powerful he is!
It seems I need to be more careful next time!
"Doctor Li, you don't know!" He Dashuang said sadly, "I thought I conquered Chunlian, but who knew that this woman is a bottomless pit. I tortured her these two days and thought she enjoyed it, but when she was happy, she tortured me in return and made me exhausted..."
Li Xiangnan was speechless: "Who told you to arouse my greed! What do you want to say?"
He Dashuang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said sadly, "Last night, she scolded me a few times, and I was so angry that I tortured her three times! But she was not satisfied! I had no choice but to ask her, and then I found out that Chunlian's deceased husband Zheng Tuwa had a short life, but he worked well and lived for five minutes..."
"You didn't even have five minutes?" Li Xiangnan was startled. Seeing He Dashuang's face suddenly turn pale, he quickly patted him on the shoulder and said with a look of sudden realization, "It's okay! He can be as strong as he wants. The breeze blows over the hills! The grass on his grave is already ten feet high. How can you say that you are still Sister Chunlian's husband and still have a chance to grow up!"
"Really? Doctor Li? At my age, I still have a chance?" He Dashuang was like grabbing a life-saving straw, "You must save me, I finally know how to deal with Chunlian, she likes..."
"Stop it, stop it!" Li Xiangnan hurriedly stopped him from saying such irritating words, fearing that he would hear some extraordinary habit, and said decisively: "Brother He, please follow this prescription to get some medicine and take good care of yourself. Don't be anxious, take your time! Take two courses of treatment! Then we'll see if it works. If not, we'll continue to adjust..."
As he spoke, he took out the pen and small notebook from his chest, quickly wrote a prescription, tore it up and handed it over.
"Doctor Li, can I go talk to your father?"
"Whatever you want!" Li Xiangnan picked up the bicycle kickstand and walked away, "I really have to go! I'm going to miss the trip!"
"Thank you, Doctor Li!" He Dashuang called out gratefully from behind.
Li Xiangnan waved his hand and quickly fled out of the yard, shaking his head with a sigh. He saw Wang Defa riding his bike towards him at high speed and asked hurriedly, "Fatty, why are you here?"
"Hey, what are you doing so late? I heard you were going to go ice skating too, and everyone is waiting for you to come over! Shichahai is so lively today, hurry up! I'll take you to see it!"
Li Xiangnan smiled and said, "Let's go!"
