Siheyuan: My Northeastern Farmhouse

Chapter 427: Are you letting go?
Fortunately, Zhu Jue is out of danger, otherwise Gu Weijun really wouldn't want to go to Diaoyutai to accompany David and his wife. He is just a capitalist, and he came to China for the Chinese market.

Gu Weijun is from a later generation and is not yet a member of the Communist Party, but he has no good impression of capitalists at all.

There was nothing he could do. After working for more than 20 years, he felt deeply disgusted in his heart.
Arriving at Diaoyutai in a hurry, Mr. and Mrs. David were already waiting in the living room on the first floor. Although they didn’t know how long they had been waiting, as a staff member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Gu Weijun still expressed his apology, "Mr. David, I'm sorry, something has delayed me." ”

Mr. and Mrs. David did not have any emotional fluctuations because of Gu Weijun's late arrival. They recalled with a smile: "No, it's because we are old and can't bear to part with this beautiful time in the early morning."

“Especially the accommodation environment here is really great, like a beautiful oriental garden.”

"Besides, it's just the right time to set off now, isn't it?"

Gu Weijun extended his hand to signal David and his wife to get up and follow him. He explained as he walked, "Mr. David's vision and taste are really first-rate. I didn't explain yesterday that you have discovered the beauty of this hotel."

"This was originally a palace of the Qing Dynasty emperor, where he lived during summer vacation."

"After liberation, in order to welcome guests from all over the world, this place was opened as a state guesthouse."

"Oh no wonder."

The driver arranged by the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse drove a red flag car and slowly drove out of the Diaoyutai and headed towards the Forbidden City.

Gu Weijun, who was sitting in the passenger seat, began to explain: "The Forbidden City has been the imperial palace of the Ming and Qing dynasties for more than 500 years."

There is no need to go into details about the tour of the Forbidden City. Along with Gu Weijun's explanation, Mr. and Mrs. David exclaimed in exclamation from time to time.

In the evening, he sent David and his wife back to Diaoyutai. After dinner, Gu Weijun declined his request to continue the communication and politely left: "Mr. David, my family is really sick and I am worried. I want to go to the hospital for a checkup. "

“Oh, family is the most important thing!”

"Mr. Gu, you did the right thing."

"We, the Rockefellers, are family-oriented and this is our tradition."

After saying goodbye to David, Gu Weijun went to the kitchen to get the thermos box, which contained sea cucumber and millet porridge that he had asked the chef to help make in advance, and rushed to Union Hospital in a hurry.

It was just 8 o'clock in the evening, and the mother-in-law was chatting with Zhu Jue. Zhu Jue's face had improved a lot, but was still a little pale.

After Gu Weijun knocked on the door and entered, he picked up the thermos box and said, "Mom, I brought a sea cucumber and millet porridge for my sister today. Please give me a good supplement."

The mother-in-law took it hesitantly and did not open it immediately, "Weijun, are you making a mistake?"

"It's such a precious ingredient after all."

Zhu Jue also weakly refused, "Weijun, sister just has an ordinary fever. There is no need to eat such good food. You'd better return it."

"Hey, what are you thinking? Am I the kind of person who harms the public and enriches my own private life?" Gu Weijun spread his hands helplessly, "Do I look like a corrupt person?"

"Look, you're wearing a pair of cool sleeves. Don't worry, I paid you, including the processing fee."

"Mom, I asked the chef to put two sea cucumbers in specially. It's very hard for you to take care of my sister, so you have to take good care of it."

"Don't let you collapse from exhaustion by then."

The mother-in-law looked excited and said, "Hey!" She doesn't have a son, but my son-in-law is better than a son. He thinks about himself in everything.

Then he opened the thermos box with a look of joy on his face, "Wei Jun, mom hasn't eaten such good food before?"

"Weijun, Mom secretly told you: Mom's ancestors were also a family of officials, the Fang family in Tongcheng. Have you heard of it?"

"Fang Yizhi?"

"Hey, that's right!" Mother-in-law smiled brightly, "Haha, Wei Jun, you are still educated. I told your dad before, but he doesn't know anything. He is just a piece of wood."

"At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, I heard from my elders that sea cucumbers, abalones, and shark fins were eaten all the time. They were very corrupt."

"Later, due to the invasion of little Japan and the chaos of Bald Chiang Kai-shek and several of his family members, the family fell into decline."

"But it's fortunate that my family is in decline, haha."

The mother-in-law first helped Zhu Jue up and put a pillow on his back.

Then she opened the thermal box, and the aroma wafted out. Two sets of tableware had been prepared in advance. The mother-in-law carefully divided the sea cucumber and millet porridge into two portions. She picked up the bowl first and said kindly to Zhu Jue: "Come on, Xiao Jue, open your mouth." , Mom tells you, this is a good thing, it is absolutely good for us women. "

"Mom, I have benefited from you today." Zhu Jue first turned to look at Gu Weijun, with gratitude and deep love in his eyes, and then opened his mouth slightly.

The mother-in-law's hand holding the spoon paused slightly, and then continued to feed Zhu Jue as if nothing had happened, "Actually, in the final analysis, we two are still in Xiaolin's favor."

"You said that she has always been carefree and like a tomboy since she was a child. How come she found such a caring partner?"

"Haha," Gu Weijun was very happy when he heard his mother-in-law praise him in a roundabout way, "Mom, Xiaolin is also very tolerant of me. You and dad treat me like their own sons. I am also blessed."

The mother-in-law’s next words seemed to mean something, “You are lucky!”

"You also missed saying that Xiaojue is also very kind to you."

"It's fate that we can become a family."

"This man's heart is made of flesh. How can he be ruthless if he is not a plant?"

"Uh~~" Gu Weijun's mind was racing, "Haha, mom, you are right, sister is also very good to me."

"I remember it all in my heart."

"Well, just remember." The mother-in-law suddenly put the bowl on the table next to the hospital bed and tapped her lower back with her hand, "This person is too old to be able to do it."

"After just one day with Xiaojue, my waist is so sore."

"Weijun, Mom wants to go home and rest first. She will lie down for a while. Can you help Mom take care of your sister?"

Hearing what the mother-in-law said, Gu Weijun and Zhu Jue glanced at each other in unison, with a trace of surprise flashing in their eyes.

Gu Weijun immediately answered: "Mom, you are working too hard. You have been working all day and you have to take care of my sister at night."

"You can't just walk around because of your backache. Yesterday, I arranged for Wu, the bone-setting massage expert from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, to give a foreign friend a bone-setting massage. When I sent him home, he taught me a lot of tricks on the way."

"I'll move my sister a little. You lie down next to your sister first. I'll press you a few times so that you can have a better rest when you get home."

The mother-in-law is obviously creating opportunities for herself and Zhu Jue. The more this happens, the more Gu Weijun has to show his filial piety to his mother-in-law!

Only in this way can the mother-in-law's impromptu idea tonight be possible for a long time.

Otherwise, what if she suddenly feels unhappy when she thinks about her two daughters on her way home or when she returns home?

You must strike while the iron is hot, serve your mother-in-law well, and make her heart feel hot, so that she can turn a blind eye to the matter between herself and Zhu Jue in the future.

Hearing what Gu Weijun said, the mother-in-law hesitated for a moment and felt more relaxed, "Weijun, isn't this good?"

"You've had a hard day too."

In order to further test his mother-in-law's reaction, Gu Weijun started to take action directly. He picked up Zhu Jue with both hands next to the hospital bed and moved him aside, "Mom, I am young and strong, and I am in good health."

"Xiao Lin has the best say on this point."

"Haha, she always says that I am built like a bull."

"Mom, lie down quickly. I'll give you a few presses and I'll tell you that Expert Wu's technique was passed down from the court. It used to be specially used to serve the emperors and nobles of the Qing Dynasty."

Hearing what Gu Weijun said, a smile appeared on the mother-in-law's face again, "Hey, I am enjoying the treatment of Lafayette today?"

"Mom, in my eyes, aren't you just Lafayette?" Gu Weijun pressed his hands on the kidney acupoints on both sides of his mother-in-law's back, gradually increasing the strength, "Mom, what do you think of this strength?"

"Well, it's sour and numb, and it's strong enough."

"Okay, if I get too strong, just say something in time."

While pressing down on his mother-in-law, Gu Weijun did not ignore Zhu Jue, "Sister, after I finish pressing on Mom, I will give you a few more presses."

"You have muscle soreness after a high fever. Massage can be a very good way to relieve it."

"This" Zhu Jue expressed embarrassment. His mother is still here, and you make such a request. How should I respond?
