Chapter 34: Keeping a low profile
"Yao Ji Pharmacy" is an old pharmacy in the south of the city, but in the hands of Aunt Le'er, it has declined, and the location has now been moved to an alley away from the main road. The faΓ§ade is about 60 square meters, the first floor sells medicine, and the second floor says that the main treatment for bruises is actually massage. Unexpectedly, the business of the old brand is very weak, but the business on the second floor is quite good, and it is often overcrowded.
"Le'er! Why are you here? Her aunt Yao Xingfen was very happy to see her niece come in with a boy.
"Auntie, I came to see you and your uncle, what about your uncle?"
"Your uncle-in-law is busy upstairs, business has been good in the past few months, and there are so many people looking for your uncle's massage, they are almost too busy!"
"Business is good, you and your uncle-in-law should also pay attention to some health, and I will also grab some medicine by the way today. You see. Le'er took out the prescription and said with a smile, "Don't 'kill' me!" β
"Look at what Le'er said, how can it!" The aunt squeezed her eyes at Le'er and whispered, "Tell my aunt, who is he?" β
How to tell my aunt, Le'er's face turned red all of a sudden, there was nothing wrong, but isn't this explanation that there are no three hundred taels of silver here, so she simply replied, "Auntie, hurry up and grab the medicine!" β
Qin Yi was standing next to him just now, although he didn't hear what his aunt said to Le'er, but when he saw Le'er's crimson face, he suddenly understood a little, he could understand Le'er's love for her, but he was pretentious and had no pastime, and he froze there for a while.
"Okay, well, whoever prescribes this prescription will really prescribe it, and they all choose good medicinal materials." The aunt nagged while grabbing the medicine, and turned back coldly and winked at Le'er, "Your mother opened it!" β
"yes, but you didn't ask me to come to you!"
"Your mother won't hold a grudge against me, forget it, I won't charge for this medicine today."
"Thank you, auntie!" Le'er's mouth is really sweet.
At this time, Qin Yi was looking at the patients who came and went here, the "scarred face", the "head of the head", such a familiar face, soon, Qin Yi remembered, and his eyes couldn't help but condense.
After grasping the medicine, Le'er pulled Qin Yi, who was a little dazed, and walked out.
"What happened to you?"
"I'll tell you tomorrow if I see it!"
Looking at Le'er's pursed mouth, Qin Yi suddenly smiled and said, "Le'er, see you tomorrow!" β
"Jingjiang Villa in the east of the city, the first choice for successful people".
A luxury car drove through a giant billboard across both sides of the road into this community that symbolizes prestige.
"Dad, you're back!"
There is no need to add sugar to the brewed coffee, and he knows that his father loves the taste.
"Xiao Ling, Dad doesn't want to drink it yet."
The middle-aged man looked exhausted. The changes in the past have made him haggard, but behind the glory in front of people is sometimes the bitterness that ordinary people can't bear. These days, no, he has been busy with business all these years, this is as familiar and strange as a free hotel for him, yes, this home seems to be full of wealth, but what really belongs to him?
"Dad, I'll help you pinch your back!" It's rare to see his long-lost adoptive father, Jin Ling really wants to do his filial piety, he used to look at him coldly, thinking that he was just a selfish villain, time is the best proof, over the years, his adoptive father has paid too much.
"Well, well!"
I don't know why, today Jin Ting gladly accepted, and he lay down on the sofa very casually. The years are not forgiving,
The sun on the balcony in the afternoon was so colorful, and the father and son enjoyed a rare reunion.
On the outskirts of Jiangcheng, the lights are on at this time. At the dinner table, the morning dishes were empty.
Qin Yi hiccuped, he didn't eat much at noon today, and he walked a long way in the afternoon, it seems that the food at home is still fragrant, and this stomach is full.
"Poor child, I didn't expect Dean Chen to pick the door so hard that he couldn't even eat enough."
"Grandpa, I think my brother hasn't eaten enough at school, and he has a lot of food now!"
Qin Yi stroked his belly and smiled with satisfaction: "What you said is not right, in fact, Xin'er's craftsmanship is good, and the food is so fragrant that it catches up with Jiang's mother's cooking." β
In the past, the food at home was the most fragrant made by Jiang's mother, but as soon as these words came out today, Qin Yi knew that he was wrong, and over the years, the most shy thing in the family was to mention those sad things. And that year today, it was the day when Xin'er's mother took her younger brother to run away from home, and ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Sure enough, Grandpa didn't say a word, and walked to his room with heavy old steps. Xin'er cleaned up the table sensibly, but she really didn't want to pay attention to his brother anymore.
Seeing such a big reaction from this old and young, Qin Yi hurriedly got up and apologized: "Xin'er, my brother's mouth really can't speak, don't remember my brother's hatred, okay?" β
"It's okay, brother, I'm not a child anymore." Having said that, Ke Xin'er still couldn't control herself, she put down the dishes and cried on Qin Yi's shoulder.
"Xin'er, don't cry, your parents will definitely not leave you." Qin Yi said with relief, "Don't worry, brother promised you, I will definitely find them." β
"Yes!" Xin'er, who was in tears, nodded, trying to put on a smiling face: "Brother, you have never lied to me, we will definitely find them." β
"Wipe away your tears, look at you, crying like a big cat." Qin Yi reminded her, "You better go and get busy with your plan, I'll wash the dishes today." β
"I'm fine, the plan is almost done. By the way, grandpa, you better go and see grandpa just now! β
"Oh well. Xin'er, if you need any help, just tell me, I'll go to Grandpa's first. β
Decade! Qiaoying, you've been gone for ten years! Little rabbit, Xiaolan, you have been gone for ten years! Tingzhi, my son, do you still hold a grudge against me as a father?
Ten years of memory can only be retained with the help of photos, Mao Bowen gently wiped the dust on it with his hand, he has no old tears anymore, he is sorry for them, if time can be turned back, I really don't know if I will choose pain again.
"Grandpa drinks tea." Qin Yi walked in gently.
"Well, you put it on the table." Lao Mao is still immersed in the picture frame.
"Grandpa, are you alright? I" Qin Yi really couldn't bear to interrupt his old man's musings.
"Xiaoyi, is there something wrong?" Lao Mao saw that Qin Yi wanted to speak and stopped, and said casually.
"Xiaoyi is not sensible, and he said the wrong thing again to make his grandfather sad!"
"Oh, it's okay, Grandpa is just a little sad." Old Mullah Qin Yi sat on the edge of the bed, "You must have something on your mind, come, tell grandpa." β
"Grandpa, you and Xin'er are Yi'er's closest people in the world!"
"Xiaoyi, yes, what's wrong with you?" Lao Mao didn't know what the kid wanted to say.
"Grandpa, I thought you were just a very ordinary person, but I didn't expect you to be a great scientist?"
"Who said I'm a scientist?" Lao Mao didn't want to admit it.
"There is a professor in our school, Zhao Jiangtao, who teaches us cosmology, and his class is the most popular among the students."
"yes, that's a familiar name, oh, it's a regular in science magazines." Lao Mao remembered this person.
"It's him, who specifically mentioned you when we gave us a lesson." Qin Yi was very proud, "Why doesn't Grandpa admit that he is a great scientist?" β
Lao Mao sighed after speaking, "Hey, it may have been considered before, but now it is no longer so." β
"Professor Zhao's class was very popular with the students, and he told us, 'Meaningful existence is wonderful', scientist grandfather, you tell me, what is the meaning of my existence?" Qin Yi was really confused.
"Son, do you think your life is not exciting enough?" Lao Mao looked at him and said in a half-loud voice, "Maybe I'm wrong." β
"Grandpa, what's wrong with you?" Qin Yi was puzzled.
"Grandpa has always been worried about the world's rejection of you, and today's confusion just proves that excessive worry will make you unable to better integrate into the world. Child, it's still the same saying, 'Do everything you can, do your best.'" As long as there are no regrets in this life, it is enough. Lao Mao lay down and relaxed.
"Grandpa, grandpa, did you mean I could join the school's basketball team?" Qin Yi was a little excited.
"Silly boy, four words: just keep a low profile."
