Chapter 128 Return to Beijing

October 7th is the last day of the National Day holiday.

On the National Day holiday, the descendants of the He family rushed back to the capital to accompany their ancestors. Their attitude also made the residents in the compound secretly speculate that they rushed back because they wanted to see the old man for the last time, or should I say Give the old man a final farewell.

Some people even speculated that the He family might have died because the He family closed their doors to thank guests. The He family did not mourn in secret because they were waiting for their descendants to return.

When the descendants of the He family returned one after another, everyone thought that the He family would announce the death of the ancestor of the He family at any time, but no, there was no news of the death of the ancestor of the He family until the last day of the holiday.

At this time, many people secretly speculated whether the He family might have been paralyzed or in a vegetative state

No matter what outsiders speculated, the He family lived their own lives. , they are very busy, shopping, buying medicines, preparing pharmaceutical tools, etc. Every tool is shopped around and carefully selected. The medicinal materials are also purchased from the most reputable pharmacies or hospitals, and the medicinal materials are roughly processed as required. .

The descendants of the He family divide the work and cooperate. Some are responsible for purchasing, some are serving the ancestors, and some are handling the medicinal materials at home. Everyone participates and contributes their own modest efforts.

After a few days of busy work, the preparations that need to be made are almost complete. The holidays are also over. Those who work in other provinces and cities have to go back to work. Those freelancers are in Beijing to serve their ancestors.

During the entire holiday, Yan Xing did not show up. He, Mr. Liu, and countless unknown military men stayed at special posts to perform guarding tasks.

Miro, Osbu and Enzo, the old butlers, accompanied Roberto to visit the Forbidden City of China, and also went to several hospitals to register. There were too many people registering in those hospitals, so it would be their turn to wait. , it should be scheduled at least half a month later.

Brothers Le Fukang and Le Fumin were secretly busy handling things because Le Shiyun was in the bureau. They didn't see anyone for three days. The brothers hid the truth from their wives. Therefore, the two Mrs. Le But I don't know that something big has happened, but I still work hard to expand interpersonal relationships.

The parents of the Chao family drank tea with the parents of the Li, Deng, and Xu families. They handed over the matter of their children being bullied to the lawyers, and they did whatever they were supposed to do.

Le Qianjin has entered the situation, and she doesn’t have to worry about being plotted by the dark people for the time being. Chao Yubo doesn’t have to stay at home. He can go shopping with his sisters, play golf, badminton, and drink tea with the boys. , get together and have a wonderful holiday.

On the afternoon of the 7th, the Chao family boy returned to school. Young Master Li, Chen and others also returned to school one after another. A group of people went to a restaurant together in the evening and had a lot of fun.

On the 8th, the office workers who had had a week off started to work hard again, and the students were in class; Young Master Liu and Young Master Yan still did not show up, they were still busy.

That night, President Chao and Minister Li treated themselves to a treat, inviting members of the student union and student youth league committee to a restaurant for dinner. They also went to the KTV to have fun and celebrate their birthdays in advance. After the party, the other students returned to school. The president and Minister Li went home.

October 9th, once a yearThe Double Ninth Festival is also the 19th birthday of Chao Yubo and Li Yubo.

Birthday represents rebirth, but also represents suffering. It is the rebirth of a child and a suffering day for the mother.

That morning, the two Yubos each ate longevity noodles cooked by their elders at home, and went back to school happily. When they turned eighteen, their elders set up a banquet to celebrate their coming of age. When they turned nineteen, There is no need to celebrate anymore. Eating a bowl of longevity noodles in the morning is the best blessing from your family.

On the day of the Double Ninth Festival, there are Respect for the Elderly activities held in various places to spread the national tradition of respecting the elderly.

Master Gao returned to Han City to work for a few days, but he had not received the notice from the little girl by the 7th. On the afternoon of the 8th, he went from Han City to Wutai Mountain by himself, waiting and waiting, and did not receive it until the morning of the Double Ninth Festival. When the little girl called, he hurried to the agreed point.

He is from the northern province of H. After arriving in the western province of S, he could not compete for tourists, so he did not have a sports car when he arrived at the central town of Mount Wutai. He recharged his batteries and was in good spirits.

Master Gao was not very familiar with the scenic roads in Sxi Province. He used the navigation system to find the way, and it was already past nine o'clock when he found the place.

The agreed point is on the highway that runs through the Taihang Mountains between S West and H North. The geographical location is still in S West Province, and it is also the intersection leading to a village at the foot of the mountain.

The sun hangs high in the sky, shining obliquely from the east. The road that circles the foot of the mountain is basically shrouded in the shadow of the mountain. The little girl is standing on the road that is still shrouded in shadow, in front of her. He was wearing a clean cross-shoulder backpack and a large backpack at his feet.

Master Gao slowed down and stopped in front of the little girl. He went down to help put the luggage. Only when he got closer did he see the little girl clearly. Her backpack was stuffed bulgingly and her sleeping bag was tied horizontally to the tent. On top of the backpack, the backpack was dirty, as if it had rolled a few times in the woods after the rain.

There is also a cylindrical basket woven with branches and vines at the little girl's feet. It is about the size of a small washbasin and as high as a person's knees. The inside is covered with large leaves, making it difficult to see. No matter what it contained, the surface of the basket was also covered with tree leaves, but he saw mushrooms under the leaves. The fragrance of the mushrooms wafted out, and it smelled very good.

"Girl, what kind of luck are you, you can still pick up mushrooms this season." Master Gao was stunned. Autumn is coming to an end, and the little guest is really lucky to be able to pick up mushrooms.

"I have a connection with mountains. Ever since I was little, I have never returned home empty-handed from mountain climbing." Le Yun happily picked up her backpack and sent it to the car. "Master, please wait for me. I still have something hidden." In the grass, I'll move it."

"Okay, you go get the things." Master Gao carefully picked up the rattan basket, opened the back door and put it in front of the car seat. He knew that many customers were interested in mountain goods. He cherishes it very much. He is afraid of damaging the young guest's mountain goods, so he moves cautiously.

Le Yun put her backpack on the passenger seat, turned around and ran towards the village at the foot of the distant mountain. She ran a hundred meters away, got into the bushes and grass, and took out the medicinal materials she had hidden in the grass.

Master Gao put down the mountain goods for the young guest and stood by the car to wait.After a while, I saw a picky person coming from the natural road leading to the village.

Looking carefully, oh my god, that is the little girl.

The little girl What she picked was really like a load of weeds, tied into bundles like cutting buds of corn seedlings in the countryside. The grass was not as tall as corn seedlings. She was carrying a load of grass as she walked along the road, just like returning from collecting firewood. , with a special sense of accomplishment.

Master Gao felt that his outlook on life had been refreshed again. When the little girl moved the things back, he discovered that the grass was long or short, with thin leaves, needle leaves, and broad leaves. The leaves were in the right shape. Some of the strange leaves were uprooted and washed clean, so he had to recognize a few of them. One was mugwort, one was calamus, and the other was probably the common thistle and plantain.

Master Gao sweated all over his face and lowered the back seat. When the little girl moved the grass into the carriage, he took off the wooden stick that was used as a pole. He twisted it, oh Oh, it’s incredible, it’s so heavy

Place your luggage properly, get in the car, and go straight to the capital. From S Western Province to Beijing, pass through Taihang Mountain, enter H Northern Province and take the expressway. It takes about More than four hours away.

The National Day holiday has passed, and the He family has returned to a relatively quiet life. The brothers He Zirong and He Zirui stay at home, and the He family members who work in the capital can do whatever they are supposed to do. Generally speaking, as long as they can When I have free time, I will try my best to go back and help take care of my ancestors. Among the younger generations of the Ming Dynasty in the capital, except for He Mingzhi and He Mingxin who are still in college, others who have jobs also go to work. There is no need for He Mingsheng and He Mingsheng who work eight to five. Mingjun, He Panpan, He Mingjing, and He Mingtao went to their workplace to report on their first day of work after vacation, and then everyone took turns to go home to accompany their ancestors.

On Double Ninth Festival and Respect for the Aged Day, He Mingsheng, He Mingtao, and He Panpan spent time with their ancestors and grandparents at home. Instead of climbing, they pushed their ancestors around the yard in wheelchairs. Have fun.

The He family thanked guests behind closed doors, and the courtyard door was always closed, so they could not see the inside from the outside. They felt more at ease. As for buying groceries and daily necessities, they usually went to buy them at dawn, or had them ask for help. Take the people who come back from get off work with you.

After Mr. He woke up, he has been in good condition. Even though he is relatively weak, he can walk independently for a few minutes every day, mostly supported by his family, and then he sits in a wheelchair and goes to the yard to bask in the sun. , listen to Peking Opera.

The old man himself is very optimistic and cheerful. He eats clear porridge every day, sometimes with some vegetables, and it is not too bland. Take one dose of medicine every day. Every time you drink the medicine, you will sweat profusely. You need to drink the medicine in the morning and evening. You have to take two baths and change clothes twice a day.

Double Ninth Festival, Mrs. He San used to make Double Ninth cakes and thousand-layer cakes every year. This year, because the little girl only let the ancestors drink clear porridge, they did not make all kinds of snacks and only prepared Some seafood and meat.

The younger generation had a sumptuous meal to eat, but they could not let their ancestors drink porridge. So, Mrs. He San racked her brains and made four light and suitable side dishes for the ancestors.

On the work order at noonThe children and grandchildren who were working didn't come back, so He Zirui and a few people set up a table with meat and vegetables, old and young at the same table.

Halfway through the meal, He Mingtao's phone rang. He grabbed it anxiously, and when he glanced at the screen, he shouted excitedly, "It's the little beauty calling. The little beauty finally showed up."

He Mingtao was going to answer the phone in time, but he was so slow. As soon as he lost it, the other party hung up. He looked at the time and saw, wow, the ringing had only lasted for more than ten seconds.

While he was lamenting, the phone rang again. It was not a phone call, but a text message, and it was still small. The beautiful doctor's text message was a lesson learned from the past. He didn't dare to hesitate and quickly read the text message.

"The little beauty has sent a text message." He reported the situation and clicked to read the content.

"What did you say?" He Zirong asked quietly.

He Zirui, Mrs. He San and He Mingsheng, He Panpan, stared at He Xiaoba with eager eyes, their eyes full of expectation.

Grandpa He didn’t know who his great-grandson was talking about, so he sat back and waited for the result with a smile.

"The little beauty said that she is on her way back to Beijing. Let's send a smart and steady driver to pick her up at the exit of the highway from h north to Beijing. We should arrive before about 2:30." He Mingtao looked at it After finishing the short text message, their whole faces lit up, "Hurry up, eat quickly, I'll go pick up the little beauty after dinner." "Really" He Zirong and He Zirui's blood pressure rose in excitement by the second, their faces There was a faint red light.

"Of course it's true. How dare I lie to my grandfathers? The little beauty also said that she should bring cash to pay the fare. I guess she came back by chartered car."

" It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter how much the fare is." He Zirong said with a smile on his face, "Eat quickly, go there early and wait after dinner." "Hey" the younger generation had no objection and picked up the bowl to eat.

He Zirui looked at his grandchildren, "Xiaoba, you go with the waiter. The waiter is steady. I don't trust you for being such a weakling."

"Grandpa Third, I It’s not two, I’m a smart little beauty. Contact me. Doesn’t it mean that I’m smart and steady?” He Mingtao almost vomited blood. How can he be more optimistic and lively?

He Zirong and others laughed from ear to ear.

"Well, our Xiaoba is smart." He Zirui nodded seriously, "Lingji Xiaoba, you are too clever. I am afraid that you will drive wildly, so I asked the waiter to go with you to prevent you from scaring people. "

" He Mingtao lowered his head and bit his chopsticks, and then whispered, "Grandma, the third grandfather saw someone under the door and looked down on me. I am very sad."

"Xiao. My dear grandson, your Third Grandpa looks at people through the cracks in the door, and you look at him through the cracks in the door, and then you look down on him," Grandpa He said with a smile.Looking at the children and grandchildren, the wrinkles on their faces gently opened, "Zirong Zirui, who is the little beauty you are talking about? Is she the target of Xiaoba?"

"Pfft-"

He Mingsheng and He Panpan were originally amused to see He Xiaoba acting coquettishly, but when they heard the second part of their ancestor's words, they couldn't hold back and started laughing.

He Mingtao’s mouth opened like an o, my God, my grandma’s imagination is so big, her imagination is so big that it can contain the earth.

He Zirong and He Zirui Chaixi’s expressions were weird. , He Zirui hurriedly swallowed a mouthful of food stuck in his throat, and replied while wiping his sweat, "Mom, the little beauty is the doctor who helps you see a doctor. Because she is slim and petite, Liu Xiaosan and the boys call her Xiao Beauty, Xiaoba is not so lucky to find such a good partner."

"Oh, it's the doctor who helps me treat my illness. I thought he was Xiaoba's girlfriend, Xiaoba's sweet grandson. Sun, you are much older now, isn't it time to find a partner?" Ancestor He suddenly realized.

"Grandma, the second brother, the third brother, the fourth brother, the fifth sister, the sixth brother and the seventh brother are not married. Who will get me? When the brothers and sisters above me get married, I will find a partner immediately. "He Mingtao held up his shield with a smile. None of his brothers and sisters were in a hurry to get married, so he had so many shields on his head that he was not worried at all.

He Mingsheng glared resentfully, and Xiaoba pushed him out again. What kind of hero is he who specializes in cheating?

He Panpan said with a smile, "Xiaoba, don't use me as the fifth sister as an excuse. I'm getting married on New Year's Day. Look, I'm still carrying my great-great-grandson in my belly."

"I have an idea for my partner, and he is getting married." He Mingsheng opened his eyes and lied, making up a girlfriend for himself to come out as an emergency.

"Xiao Er, my dear grandson, you said last time that you had something to tell." Ancestor He is not old and confused, and his memory is good.

"Grandma, the one I was with last time was too spoiled and spoiled, and she didn't know how to be filial and grateful. You can never marry that kind of wife, so I broke up with her." He Mingsheng said in a cold sweat, ancestor The memory is so good, 囧

"Oh, you have to hurry up, the little one is the most considerate, and the children he gives birth to will be so good."

" Grandma, we must work hard to find a partner. I think we should get married later. While we are full of energy, we can help Xiao Longbao solve life-long affairs before we can rest assured. Grandma, let’s eat first, and then discuss Xiao Longbao’s life after dinner. "Personal problem"

He Mingsheng was afraid that his ancestor was in a hurry to marry his great-great-grandson, so he unkindly took out the Guaiguai brand Xiaolongbao to help. Xiaolongbao was the best-behaved child in the eyes of his great-grandmother, and also the ancestor. The little grandson who is most concerned about his heart, if he can twist Xiao Longbao out, he will definitely be able to successfully divert the problem.

As he expected, when it came to Xiao Longbao's personal problems, Ancestor He immediately became concerned and urged everyone to eat.

He Zirong and He Zirui were eager to finish their meal quickly and let their two children wait for the doctor early. Because the old mother was talking, they could not disturb her leisurely mood. When the old mother called for dinner, they couldn't ask for it..

After the young and old finished their meal, they saw that the time was just 12:50. He Mingsheng and He Mingtao did not dare to neglect, so they hurriedly took their wallets and set off.

Due to physical problems and lack of energy, Grandpa He sat down for a while and then went to take a nap. As a result, the issue of Xiao Longbao’s lifelong events was temporarily shelved.

After leaving the compound, He Mingsheng and He Mingtao took cash and bought some snacks on the way, and then rushed all the way to their destination.

Because it was noon, many people were rushing to work, and there were many cars on the road. They took various detours and arrived near the expressway exit toll station at 2:10 in the afternoon.

After spending more than an hour on the road, the two brothers felt very unsure, fearing that they would be late.

Parking is prohibited at the exit of the expressway. The two of them are not the kind of leadership figures who "wash their faces in a footbath - they have a lot of face". They are self-aware and do not seek abuse or give points to the traffic police. Park in an open square in front of a hotel more than a thousand meters from the exit.

The square is a private site, and there is a fee for parking. Vehicles coming off the highway sometimes need to park, or vehicles going to the highway need to park in front of the hotel. The boss only charges fees and earns a lot of money. Of course, if the car owner goes to a hotel to eat or stay, he or she will park for free.

He Mingsheng and He Mingtao did not dare to ask the little beauty where the doctor was for fear of upsetting others. They just waited for the news, parked the car and waited for about ten minutes, when they received a text message from the little beauty asking if he was there. When someone picked up the car, the brothers finally let go of their worries. He Mingtao quickly replied to the message, telling him that he had arrived and where to wait.

Generally, it takes about four and a half minutes to get from Mount Wutai to Beijing. However, there is always an endless stream of cars heading towards or out of Beijing every day. During holidays, the highway will also be jammed, and sometimes it can People stuck on the road cannot move one kilometer all day and night.

The National Day holiday has passed, and the long queues of thousands of cars seem to be gone. But it does not mean that the sky is wide and the land is free to fly. There are always a lot of cars leaving Beijing and entering Beijing.

Therefore, it actually took Master Gao’s car five and a half minutes to reach the capital.

Leyun didn’t send a message to He Xiaoba until she saw the expressway toll station to ask if anyone from the He family would come to pick up the car. If no one was sent, she would ask Master Gao to take him to Qingda University.

The reason why we asked someone to pick up the car was because after the car got off the expressway, the traffic in the city would be very slow. Master Gao would inevitably be tired after driving for several hours. If he continued to drive in the city, he would easily become tired while driving.

After receiving a reply from He Xiaoba, she told the driver the name of the place. When she stopped at the toll station to pay, Master Gao checked the driving navigator to find the meeting point of the pick-up person and followed the directions of the navigator.

He Mingsheng and He Mingtao were afraid that the little girl would not be found for a while, so the two of them ran to the roadside and stood as stakes, scanning the passing vehicles with their eyes like a scanning ritual, attracting the contemptuous looks of many drivers. They could wait After a while, they saw a taxi with H Bei Province license plate pulling over, getting closer and closer, and they saw a pretty and sweet girl sitting in the passenger seat.

"This way, this way-" He Mingtao waved and guided the car to the square where they parked.

He Xiaoba led the car into the parking lot and parked it. The boy in charge of issuing parking signs at the hotel also acted as a guide to assist He Xiaoba in his work.

Master Gao drove slowly, following the handsome guy, and stopped next to an off-road vehicle. The two young men from the He family quickly stepped forward, one helped the driver open the door, and the other helped the little girl open the door. Say "Thank you for your hard work".

Master Gao was a little overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of the person who picked up the car. He smiled and took the parking card from the service "I need to go into the store and rest for a while."

" Please come in at any time." The waiter gave the guest the card and returned to his post happily.

Le Yun got out of the car first, then turned around to pick up the big backpack. As soon as she unscrewed the dirty big backpack, it was taken away. He Mingtao smiled with a bright smile on his face, "Little beauty, we will carry the luggage. Just tell me what you need to move."

He saw his brother coming over and stuffed his backpack, "Second brother, take a photo of this quickly and keep it as a souvenir."

He Mingsheng hugged the big backpack and felt it was heavy. He looked at it again and realized, Oh my God, the backpack was so dirty. Without saying a word, he decisively took a few photos with his phone, took a few steps, and pulled Open the back door of the off-road vehicle and stuff the backpack first.

He Xiaoba enthusiastically took away the backpack. Leyun calmly opened the back seat door and put out her rattan basket. Seeing He Xiaoba trying to grab it again, she moved her eyes and hands quickly, "You guys Don't touch the medicinal materials in the truck. You are rough and rough. If you damage the contents, be careful and I will kick you and go to the moat to take a bath."

Master Gao bent down. Holding the grass, I was secretly happy when I heard the little guest's strong words, then I picked up the bundle of grass, took a step back and got out of the carriage.

He Mingtao was despised and looked sad. What good things were in that basket? The little beauty was not allowed to be touched.

He was about to poke his head in to take a look. Seeing the big bundle of cyan held out by the driver, I opened my mouth and said, "Oh my God, little beauty, those are all medicinal materials."

"It's not medicinal materials that I have to go all the way to get. There is another bundle in the car when we come back. Go and move it down." Leyun protected the rattan basket and rolled her eyes at He Xiaoba. "It's just some medicinal materials. I'm so surprised."

"Hey, I'll go right away." "Moving" was despised again. He Mingtao shook off his curiosity and got into the taxi in three steps. Sure enough, he saw a bundle of medicinal materials. He quickly stopped joking and took the medicinal materials out of the car seriously.

He Mingsheng put away the little girl's big backpack and saw the driver twisting out a bundle of herbs that he didn't recognize at all. He hurriedly took it from the driver's hand and hugged it. The weight was quite heavy, and he was very special. Xiao was cautious to avoid breaking the herbs, and carefully placed them back on a seat in the back seat of the off-road vehicle.

He Mingtao held a large bundle of medicinal materials in his arms and trotted back to his car. He and He Mingsheng leaned their seats back to prevent the medicinal materials from falling to the ground.

The luggage is being placed, He MingshengTake your wallet to pay the fare.

"Four thousand and five hundred yuan for the fare, 300 yuan for gas, and 300 yuan for room and board." Without blinking, Le Yun reported the amount and asked the He brothers to pay.

"Understood." He Mingsheng smiled and counted the money, but he was quietly shocked in his heart. Fortunately, he had picked up 10,000 cash as backup when he came. If he didn't bring enough money, he would look like this It's a huge loss.

Master Gao was not polite, and accepted all the fare paid by the young man. The fare of 4,500 yuan was 1,500 yuan from Hanshi to Wutai Mountain, 2,000 yuan from Wutai Mountain to Beijing, and 2,000 yuan from Beijing back. It costs 1,000 to take an empty bus from Han City, and 300 for food and lodging is the cost of staying at Mount Wutai last night.

He Mingsheng handed over another red ticket, "Master, we are in a hurry and cannot treat you to tea. Please find a teahouse to rest yourself. Thank you for sending the little girl back. I wish you a smooth journey back. ."

"Thank you." Master Gao happily accepted the money for the tea, said goodbye to the three of them, and went to the restaurant for dinner.

After paying the parking fee and returning the card, He Mingtao drove, and He Mingsheng sat in the back seat with the little girl. The car was an off-road vehicle, specially used for outdoor travel, with three seats in the back and a spacious trunk at the back.

As the car was on the road, He Mingsheng looked curiously at the rattan basket the little girl put in the car. The basket was covered with leaves, and only a bit of white could be seen vaguely, and the fragrance could also be smelled.

"He Xiaoer, you can take a look if you want, and I won't give it to you." Finding that the He family's waiter was as curious about her mountain goods as the He family's Xiaoba, Le Yun simply took it. Open the leaves for him to see.

He Mingsheng's embarrassing "I'm just curious, eh, mushrooms, and bird eggs"

The little girl took away a few wide and big leaves, and some were exposed in the basket Mushrooms, and five large bird eggs that are slightly smaller than chicken eggs.

"This is a wild egg. Have you ever seen a bird egg that big? I'm not talking about ostriches. There's no point in being curious. Anyway, this is mine and I won't share it with you, Xiao He." Eight, take me back to school first.”

“Little beauty, please be patient, we won’t steal your goods.” He Mingsheng wiped his face, the He family was not as rich as the country. , I have eaten delicacies and game. After all, the ancestors of the He family were from Qinchuan, and there was a lot of game in my hometown.

"If you don't snatch my goods, I have to go back to school first. It's my brother Chao's birthday today. You can send a car to school to pick me up in the evening, or tell you the pharmaceutical location you selected. I will take the subway myself. Go over there."

"We will take you back to school and pick you up in the evening." How dare they let the little doctor take the electric train by himself? If they don't pick him up, Xiao Longbao will beat him if he finds out. Kill them.

Xiao Longbao told them in advance that the doctor was a medical student at Qingdao University. Although that fact was scary, after so many days of sorting out their emotions, they could barely manage not to be shocked.

It’s just that for such a young child with such great medical skills, isn’t he too evil
