My village can't be like this

Chapter 407: Treating my father-in-law

"Mom, these are the vegetables that were just grown at home. They are just good enough to eat. I will send some over."

When Zhang An arrived, Wu Qiuping had already finished her meal in the cafeteria and was resting in the office.

"Your father and I can't eat much, so why do we have to go all the way? It's so troublesome."

He said it was unnecessary, but everyone could see the showoff on Wu Qiuping's face.

People of their age, what compares to each other is that their children have families and careers, and they are filial to them.

When the eldest daughter Su Xuan got married, everyone in the unit was very envious.

After all, what are the conditions for an eldest son-in-law? He is the golden turtle son-in-law that many people dream of.

Later, when Su Ying married Zhang An, things were different.

Many people think that her family has bad eyesight and that a nice city girl wants to go to the countryside and marry a rural person who grows crops.

Wu Qiuping heard a lot of gossip, whether in front of or behind her back, overtly or covertly.

So for such a long time, she had been holding back her breath.

So every time Zhang An gave them something, she would feel proud in the office.

"It's not troublesome, and it's not far. It's easy to drive here."

Zhang An has long been accustomed to his mother-in-law being like this.

"Hey, it's actually a green pepper. Has it grown so big now?"

Looking through it, Wu Qiuping also saw the green chili inside.

Nowadays, many peppers have just been planted. These peppers have matured for a long time in advance, and it is impossible not to be noticed.

Sure enough, as soon as he said these words, other people nearby were attracted and looked over with pairs of eyes.

"It just so happens that your dad's appetite has not been very good these past two days and he can't eat. I'll use these green peppers to cook a few more dishes for him tonight, as well as these tomatoes. Your dad's favorite is roasted peppers mixed with tomatoes. Tonight he should I can have a delicious dinner now.”

Soon, Wu Qiuping became very familiar with the things Zhang An brought.

Although they are just inconspicuous vegetables, vegetables that mature in advance are treasures.

Therefore, he kept attracting attention from those around him.

"What's wrong with my dad? Is he feeling unwell?"

Hearing that his father-in-law was not doing well, Zhang An asked with concern.

"Don't worry, he just drank too much when he went out to socialize a few days ago and became a little anorexic. He will be fine in two days."

Wu Qiuping was very satisfied with Zhang An's concern.

As an elderly person, who wouldn’t like to be cared for by children?

"By the way, it's already this time. Little An'an hasn't eaten yet. Let's go out to eat something first."

While Wu Qiuping was showing off her son-in-law's filial piety, she remembered that it was still noon.

It takes about two hours to drive from Changqing. If Zhang An comes here now, he must not have had lunch yet.

The canteen was closed now, and it would be too late to go home, so she wanted to take Zhang An outside to eat something first.

"Mom, I've already eaten. I went to the Forestry Bureau to sit for a while after I came here today, so I ate in the cafeteria."

After hearing this, Wu Qiuping had no intention of pulling Zhang An out.

They went to Changqing often this year and were very clear about the affairs between Zhang An and the Forestry Bureau.

"Then I don't care about you. The food in your Forestry Bureau is much better than ours."

At this moment, Wu Qiuping still did not forget to show off her son-in-law to others.

She remembered very clearly that many people looked down on Zhang An's status as a countryman.

"Mom, I'll go back first. I'll come see you in two days when I bring Xiaoying for a checkup."

After all, this is Wu Qiuping's workplace, not her home, so it's not convenient for chatting about home affairs.

After staying for a while, Zhang An was ready to leave.

"Hey, Qiuping, isn't your little son-in-law in the countryside? Why did he end up in the Forestry Bureau?"

As soon as Zhang An left, some colleagues who had a good relationship with Wu Qiuping gathered around him.

Naturally, Wu Qiuping didn't mind this. This was the effect she wanted.

"Oh, I don't know for sure. He usually likes to study flowers, trees, and wild animals, so he was specially hired by Director Zhu."

Wu Qiuping naturally knew why, but she would not explain it very carefully.

After all, saying this makes Zhang An of their family very capable.

"When I saw this young man, I found that he was very energetic and thought he must have some abilities. Sure enough, he went directly to the Forestry Bureau, which has the best welfare."

"Yes, yes, I felt the same way at the time. No wonder Xiaoying, a good girl, only has her eyes on him. This young man's vision must be much better than ours."

No matter when, society is like this.

If you are doing well, a lot of people will talk to you politely, but if you are not doing well, they will raise their eyes to the sky without even looking at you.

"By the way Qiuping, did your little son-in-law grow these vegetables? The peppers look tender and tender, and the cucumbers and cucumbers are also very delicious. They are still just planted now, how can they be eaten? It’s over.”

The drunkard was not interested in drinking, and many people gathered around to greet Wu Qiuping, just because of the coveted vegetables in the basket.

"Yes, Xiao An usually has nothing to do at home, so he just thinks about these things. No, the things he grows are not only delicious, but also mature earlier than those grown by vegetable farmers."

Opportunities have come to everyone's doorstep, so naturally Wu Qiuping won't let it go.

At that moment, he started showing off to others, looking very proud of himself.

"I won't share it with you today. Although it looks like a big box, there aren't many of each kind, and it's just right for my old Su to appetize. I'll share it with you next time."

Looking at the eyes of the colleagues around her, Wu Qiuping could not tell what they were thinking. She just wanted to come over and see if she could go along with them.

If there were usually few people and they were all old sisters who had a good relationship, she would definitely share some of them out.

But not today. Everyone in the office gathered around me, including other colleagues next door.

There are not a lot of people at all. If they were divided, everyone would not get two, and they would end up with a reputation of being stingy.

Moreover, Wu Qiuping was afraid that someone would suddenly say, "What happened to the children at home, or what happened to the elderly, and they wanted to take two of them back."

People have already opened their mouths, so it is simply inconvenient to refuse. Moreover, if you refuse without saying anything, you will offend others.So Wu Qiuping spoke first and stopped everyone talking before talking.

Besides, except for one or two close relatives and friends who could give some privately, Wu Qiuping never thought of splitting it among others.

So every time Zhang An sent something over, she could find some reasons and excuses.

"Of course. After all, this is the filial piety of the children towards you. How can we be so shameless? It's just that your little son-in-law's vegetables have been put on the market in advance. We have an appetizing aroma just by smelling them, so I want to trouble you to ask for help. Ask him to see how much he has left, and can you bring some over so that each of us can buy a few kilograms and give the elderly and children at home a taste of such good things."

Normally, after Wu Qiuping said these words, everyone else would consciously walk away.

After all, she has already clearly refused, and if she continues to look like that, it will really make people laugh.

It's just that being in the same office, just smelling the fragrant and attractive smell is really a bit greedy.

So some people thought that instead of being annoying like a beggar, they might as well ask if they could buy it with money.

We are all employees of the company, and everyone's financial situation is not bad. Things that can be solved with money are naturally not problems.

"Yes, Sister Ping, please ask for help. My Guawazi has never liked to eat, but he has eaten the food he has shamelessly asked for from Sister Ping several times. If he can buy it, I’m definitely going to buy more.”

"Don't talk about that kid, just the smell of this cucumber makes me hungry."

With one person taking the lead, the others' eyes lit up and they joined in, just like the Forestry Bureau.

"Well, he hasn't gone back yet. I'll call him when I get back in the evening and talk about it. You should have told him when he was here just now."

If it were one or two, Wu Qiuping would definitely help Zhang An refuse. After all, she knew that her little son-in-law was a bit lazy and didn't like to deal with such things.

But now there are so many people asking, and they are all colleagues in the same unit. If they don’t agree, it will be impossible.

Zhang An, who was driving the car, had no idea that Zhu Yuliang and his mother-in-law had taken over such a business for him without him knowing it.

At this time, he did not rush back to Changqing, but changed direction and walked towards Su Shaowen's unit.

"Hey, Xiao An, why are you here?"

Su Shaowen was quite curious when he saw Zhang An. This son-in-law rarely went to the city.

"I just went to my mother's place to deliver some vegetables. She said you haven't been feeling well lately. I came over to take a look."

After all, Su Shaowen is Su Ying's father and his father-in-law. Zhang An has always cared about these parents.

He heard from Wu Qiuping that his father-in-law was not in good health. He was a little worried, so he just came over to take a look.

If there is nothing wrong, just treat it as if you are here to have your pulse checked and your body checked.

"Hi, it's not a problem. I just drank a little too much when I was eating with others a few days ago, and then the weather got cold and I caught a little chill."

Su Shaowen did not refuse. Who would be unhappy if his child was attracted to him.

While explaining immediately, he pulled up his sleeves and stretched out his hand to diagnose Zhang An.

Although Zhang An studied medicine with Zhang and his team for a short time, he knew that his son-in-law was not bad.

"Yeah, dad, please stop talking and calm down your breathing."

When diagnosing the pulse, if the other person keeps talking or breathing irregularly, it may easily affect the result of the diagnosis.

"Dad, your stomach has been hurt by drinking, and the cold has entered your body. You may have to stop drinking for a while."

After watching for about half a quarter of an hour, Zhang An already saw the problem.

"Ah, it's not that serious. I just feel like my appetite is a bit off, and nothing else seems to have any impact."

Su Shaowen didn't doubt that Zhang An had mistakenly read it, but he didn't feel any discomfort in his stomach except for his bad appetite.

"Actually, you should have felt very uncomfortable in your stomach in the past two days, but because the cold air entered your body and numbed the stomach meridian, you didn't feel anything at all."

This situation is even scarier than stomachache, because it has no symptoms, so normal people can easily ignore it.

By the time it is discovered again, the situation may be much worse than before.

"Dad, please find a piece of paper and write me a prescription. After get off work, you can go to the Chinese medicine hall and grab two pairs of medicines. You can take them for three days and that's it. But in the next few months, you can't drink any more alcohol. Neither does the medicinal wine at home."

Zhang An prescribed a prescription for replenishing qi and nourishing the stomach, but he slightly modified it and added two cold-repelling herbs to neutralize the cold in Su Shaowen's body.

"Okay, when I get off work, I will help your mother carry the groceries and grab some medicine on the way."

Every time Zhang An sent something over, he always put it at Wu Qiuping's place.

But sometimes Zhang An gave a lot, and Wu Qiuping couldn't take it home alone, so Su Shaowen had to go over to help after get off work.

Zhang An brought so many vegetables today. Even if Zhang An doesn't come now, Wu Qiuping will call him later.

It just so happens that the Chinese Medicine Hall is right next to Wu Qiuping's work unit, so it will be a good idea when the time comes.

"Lao Su, is this your son-in-law? Was he treating you just now?"

After writing the prescription and handing it to Su Shaowen, Zhang An noticed a few people standing at the door.

When he diagnosed Su Shaowen's pulse just now, he attracted a lot of people's attention.

At first, others thought this was the Chinese medicine doctor Su Shaowen had brought in. But when they got closer, they found out that it was their young son-in-law.

"Yes, the last time I went to meet the people from the Mining Group, I probably drank a little too much, and I haven't been feeling well since I came back. This kid will feel uneasy after knowing this, and insists on coming over to have a look. No, I don't know if I don't know. , I was shocked when I saw it, my stomach was really hurt when I drank last time.”

Su Shaowen finished speaking with a smile, then turned to introduce Zhang An and said:
"Xiao An, these old friends I have worked with for many years, this is your Uncle Chen, and this is Uncle Wang."

If you don't know each other, you don't need to say hello, but with Su Shaowen's introduction, Zhang An still calls each person one by one.

"You're welcome, Xiao Zhang. I've been feeling a little unwell lately. I always feel dizzy. If it's convenient for you, please show me."

This is the person who just spoke, the person named Chen introduced by Su Shaowen, named Chen Yuanzhi.

When Zhang An checked Su Shaowen's pulse just now, he had been outside.

Seeing Zhang An's proficiency in the diagnosis process, he also wanted to ask Zhang An to help.

After all, he would not choose to go to the hospital even though he could take Chinese medicine.

Because when you go to the hospital, it would be better if you just get an injection, as it won’t waste time.

But if you need to get fluids, infusions, or even be hospitalized, that would be troublesome.

Their unit is generally okay, but it's troublesome to ask for leave.

Even if you take sick leave, the things you have put aside will still pile up waiting for you.
