Chapter 252 Arrival in the Provincial Capital 2
Hearing her son say this, Gu Dingxiang felt it made sense and quickly said to her third son:
"Yes, yes, you're right. I have some good stuff. Wait a minute."
Without waiting for Qi Yu to reply, she strode upstairs.
She opened a large package that her family had mailed to her from Beijing.
I didn't look at it carefully when I received it; I only knew that it probably contained some food.
Upon opening it, I was sure to find a lot of good stuff inside, including some rare items that were not sold in department stores and could only be purchased at overseas Chinese stores with foreign exchange certificates, such as chocolate, sorghum candy, honey-flavored fried dough sticks, maltose, and red shrimp crisps.
She specially selected some snacks that most children like, and also added some items that are less common in Nanjiang County, such as White Rabbit milk candy and winter melon candy.
After packing up her belongings, Gu Dingxiang finally came downstairs after a while.
She had high hopes for Feng Qingqing.
A few days ago, she sent all the herbal tea that He Yong'an had brought when he visited their home last time to the old man in Beijing.
The old man probably didn't take it seriously at first and didn't drink it.
Who knew that yesterday someone called Qi Huaiyuan's office and said that the herbal tea had excellent effects and was very effective for some of his old ailments.
I only drank two packets and thought they were pretty good. I got so excited that I called my son to tell him.
Qi Huaiyuan was naturally overjoyed to hear that his father had experienced good results after drinking the medicine.
However, when he heard his father say that he had only drunk it twice, which must have meant he drank one packet each time, he felt a pang of heartache.
You know, one packet would have been enough for him to drink many times over, but I never expected his dad to be so extravagant, drinking two packets in one day.
He was afraid that his father, who wasn't in charge of the household, wouldn't know the cost of firewood and rice.
Helpless, I could only explain to his father over the phone that this tea was extremely rare and should be savored and enjoyed slowly.
The old man on the other end of the phone understood immediately upon hearing this.
I immediately regretted drinking those two packets like guzzlers.
But since I've already drunk it, there's nothing I can do but accept it.
Although the other old men didn't mention it again, since they called, it must have been very effective.
Knowing that the old man was old, Qi Huaiyuan told his wife when he returned home in the evening to see if they could get some more to send to the old man in Beijing.
In his view, no one else should be shortchanged, but the old man's share should not be.
After all these years, the old man has never made a special phone call to talk about food and drink, which shows that he also attaches great importance to it.
After learning about this, Gu Dingxiang has been pondering the phone call from her father-in-law for the past two days.
Moreover, she knew that this good stuff was not only needed by her father-in-law, but also by her own husband.
She secretly wanted to keep one or two packets of the five packets of herbal tea she sent to Beijing last time for her husband.
Unfortunately, the old man was very stubborn and insisted on sending all five packets of herbal tea to his father in Beijing, untouched and without missing a single drop.
When I got back last night, I mentioned the old man's phone call. Although he was expressionless when he said it, as someone who has lived with him for decades, I know very well that the old man was extremely happy that the herbal tea could help him.
Therefore, when Gu Dingxiang heard that He Yong'an's wife had come over, it was like a pillow being delivered to someone who was sleepy.
At the same time, he secretly thought that he had to get along well with He Yong'an's wife, Feng Qingqing, no matter what.
At least it can guarantee the supply of medicinal tea for the old man in Beijing and his husband.
Therefore, when it came to the gifts the third son said he was going to give to He Yong'an's two precious children, he didn't hesitate at all.
Give away whatever is good or rare.
At the same time, he repeatedly instructed Qi Yu that after arriving at the Party School the next day, he must invite He Yong'an and Feng Qingqing's family of four to his home for dinner.
He even said that if he couldn't be persuaded to come, he shouldn't come back himself.
Seeing his mother's attitude, Qi Yu felt helpless. He would have done it even without her saying so.
If it weren't for the fact that He Yong'an's wife had just arrived in the provincial capital and he didn't know the situation, he would have extended an invitation much earlier.
Gu Dingxiang wasn't worried about her son, but this matter was very important to her, which is why she repeatedly reminded him.
Meanwhile, Gu Dingxiang and her son Qi Yu from the Qi family were busy with something.
The family of four over there was also enjoying a happy time together.
When the group came out of the security room, it was already lunchtime.
Without delay, He Yong'an led his family of four—himself, his mother, and his two children—straight to the nearest state-run restaurant.
State-run restaurants are also very crowded with people eating in the evenings.
He Yong had been arranging the team for a long time before finally bringing over some food.
For dinner, the restaurant served braised fish chunks, braised pork with green beans, and stir-fried potatoes, eggplant, and green peppers.
He ordered a little of everything.
The two of them first mixed some meat broth with rice and fed it to the two children.
After the child had eaten his fill, the two of them began to eat heartily.
The restaurant's portions were enormous; the two of them were so full before they finished eating.
Stepping out of the restaurant, the family of four strolled leisurely back home, enjoying the gentle evening breeze.
There were many people talking outside, so He Yong'an didn't say anything, but just did his best to take care of the two children.
I returned to the guesthouse a dozen minutes later.
The two children were exhausted after traveling all day from Nanjiang County to the provincial capital.
She fell asleep in her parents' arms before they even arrived at the guesthouse.
After returning home, the two of them washed and dressed their two children, laid them on the bed, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Feng Qingqing seemed to realize that He Yong'an had something to say.
I quickly took a shower and went back to bed.
After they both lay down, it was only a little past seven o'clock.
Feng Qingqing was waiting for He Yong'an to say something.
Unexpectedly, he rolled over and pinned her down.
Well, she patted He Yong'an on the back helplessly, and then let him do as he pleased.
About two hours later, the two were finally able to lie down and have a proper conversation.
Before Feng Qingqing could ask any questions, He Yong'an began to recount his experiences over the past period.
Upon hearing He Yong'an mention the herbal tea he had given her, Feng Qingqing's eyes flashed, and she fell into deep thought.
As his bedmate, how could she not feel the urgency he felt after learning about the space?
It would be even stranger if he did nothing.
However, this herbal tea...
Thinking back to the health supplement pills she had given out before...
In the end, nothing was said. Although these two things have different medicinal effects, they have similar effects.
Moreover, she understood He Yong'an. Although she was somewhat surprised by his action, after careful consideration, she still decided to support him.
After all, it would be a waste to have a treasure mountain but not make use of it.
After He Yong'an finished speaking briefly, his eyes remained fixed on Feng Qingqing.
He wanted to see what his wife thought, since he had acted and arranged this matter without discussing it with Feng Qingqing.
