Chapter 56: The undercurrent is turbulent
"Second uncle, third uncle, fourth uncle is good." Chen Lei first greeted the other three middle-aged people, and then whispered to the middle-aged woman: "Mom, he is the Li Yuan I told you last time, I met on the train. ”
"Oh, you're Li Yuan." The middle-aged woman said to Li Yuan with a smile: "My name is Xu Yanqing, and I am Chen Lei's mother. Thank you so much for helping Lei Lei last time on the train. ”
Li Yuan knew that what Xu Yanqing said was that he helped Chen Lei block the claws of the big man An Lu on the train. However, he was not complacent because of this, but said very modestly: "That's just a gesture, Auntie, you have won the award." ”
Seeing that Li Yuan dealt with it properly, Xu Yanqing also nodded with satisfaction in his heart. And Chen Lei looked at Li Yuan in surprise, she didn't expect that this guy, who was still staring at the nurse just now, would become a polite and good boy in a blink of an eye.
However, surprise is surprise, Chen Lei will not be reckless enough to demolish Li Yuan in front of the elders, but began to introduce the two sides to each other.
Only then did Li Yuan know that the middle-aged man with an elegant temperament standing next to Xu Yanqing was Chen Lei's father, Chen Guoping. Chen Guoping and his wife are both professors in the College of Agriculture and Biology of Zhejiang University, so it's no wonder that they both have a strong bookish atmosphere.
I don't know if it's for the sake of their daughter's face, or if it's just like this, Chen Guoping and his wife are very polite to Li Yuan. not only greeted him with a smile, but also thanked him because Li Yuan came from Wuxi on purpose.
The other three middle-aged people who look a little like Chen Guoping are Chen Lei's second uncle Chen Guolin, third uncle Chen Guodong and younger uncle Chen Guowei.
Compared with the approachable Chen Guoping, these three people seem a little pompous and rude. Although Li Yuan greeted them politely for Chen Lei's sake, the three of them just squinted at him, looking like they were ignoring him.
Since Chen Lei's grandfather Chen Junkun is very rich, the old man's son will naturally not be far behind. In Li Yuan's opinion, Chen Guolin and the others were very much in line with his imagination of rich people, so they just smiled faintly at this and didn't take it to heart at all.
Chen Lei threw an apologetic look at Li Yuan, and then asked Xu Yanqing in a low voice: "Mom, how is grandpa?" ”
"The doctor is examining him." Xu Yanqing glanced at Li Yuan, who was indifferent, and after hesitating for a moment, she decided to ask her daughter: "Lei Lei, you brought Xiao Li here to ......"
"Oh, Li Yuan, he has a good wild ginseng, I want to buy it for my grandfather's body." Chen Lei told her mother honestly: "Later, my grandfather found out about this and said that he wanted to see Li Yuan's wild ginseng in person, so I brought him here." ”
"Wild ginseng?" Speaking of which, this is also within the professional scope of Chen Guoping and his wife, so after listening to his daughter's words, Chen Guoping immediately said: "Ginseng contains a variety of ginsenosides, which can be decomposed into many substances that are beneficial to the human body. ”
Xu Yanqing also nodded lightly and said, "Well, wild ginseng is indeed quite suitable for the old man, although the price will be a little more expensive, but it is also worth it." ”
However, the attitude of Chen Lei's three uncles was just the opposite of Chen Guoping and his wife. They didn't want to see Li Yuan in the first place, and knowing that he was just a ginseng seller, their attitude became even more unbearable.
The second eldest Chen Guolin glanced at Li Yuan, frowned and said to Chen Guoping: "Big brother, I know that you are also good for your father, but even the professional doctor said that the situation of his old man is not optimistic, and then go to find these strange herbs to eat, can it work?" ”
"The second brother is right." The fourth Chen Guowei also immediately expressed his opinion: "Everyone knows that the old ginseng is effective, but the key is that it has to be the real thing!" It is said that there are very few old ginseng, how can Lei Lei buy it if she wants to, this is too coincidental, right? ”
Although Chen Guowei didn't look at Li Yuan from beginning to end, he was clearly referring to Sang scolding Huai, saying that Li Yuan was a fake. Chen Guolin and Chen Guodong next to him also nodded their heads one after another, expressing their agreement with him.
Chen Guowei's meaning was so obvious that even Chen Lei, who was very arrogant, could hear it, and couldn't help but stare at her eyes and said, "Fourth uncle, what you said is wrong." At the beginning, Tong Ren Tang received Li Yuan's two wild ginseng, which I saw with my own eyes, would I also lie to my grandfather? ”
Seeing Chen Lei helping Li Yuan speak, Chen Guowei said to Chen Guoping with some annoyance: "Big brother, you should also take care of Lei Lei, I'm her uncle!" How do you speak to your elders? ”
Chen Guoping is a good man, and hurriedly said to Chen Guowei: "Guowei, Lei Lei is also anxious for her grandfather, don't take it to heart." ”
Although in Li Yuan's view, Chen Guowei is just playing on the topic, but even if Chen Guoping greets him, he still refuses to give up. actually didn't pay attention to Chen Guoping at all, just pretended to be angry.
And Chen Guodong, who had never spoken, also sighed at this time and said: "Big brother, it's good that Lei Lei has this filial piety, but even if the wild ginseng is real, the price is really high!" Recently, the company's money has been very tight, I'm afraid it ......"
"I'm going to go, it seems that the third child of the Chen family is the most shameless!" Listening to Chen Guodong's words, Li Yuan couldn't help but curse in his heart: "Old Man Chen's car is worth millions, and this product actually says that he can't afford to buy a wild ginseng!" As a son, how thick-skinned do you have to be to say such a thing!? ”
At this time, even Chen Guoping felt a little dissatisfied, frowned and said, "A wild ginseng can't cost too much money, or let me pay for it." ”
"Big brother, you said it easily." Chen Guolin said in a weird manner: "Although you and your sister-in-law are professors, they just live on that dead salary." said that he took the money out to buy wild ginseng, but in fact, it was not the money that my father secretly stuffed to you, in the final analysis, it was the company's money! ”
Chen Guolin and the others all targeted the boss Chen Guoping, and Li Yuan couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: "It seems that the Chen family is not very peaceful, it must be those few little ones who think that Old Man Chen is dying, so they are a little unscrupulous, tsk...... A rich feud is about to be staged! ”
At this moment, several doctors came out of the inner ward. Chen Guoping didn't care about saying anything more to Chen Lei's uncles, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Director Feng, how is my father?" ”
"The cancer has spread, and it's really not optimistic." Feng Yuanmin, director of the oncology department, shook his head slightly, and then continued in a low voice: "However, the patient's will to survive is very strong, and his mood is relatively cheerful, so he should ...... I'll have two or three months to go. ”
Although he had known that his father's condition was not good, Chen Guoping was also gloomy when he heard the doctor say so. But his three younger brothers knew the news, and kept exchanging glances with each other, not knowing what they were thinking.
At this moment, a beautiful little nurse came out of it and said to everyone crisply: "Mr. Chen asked me to come out and ask if his granddaughter has returned." ”
