Chapter 194: Chapter 185 Second Update Old Sir Qin gave him a glance. “What do I have to be angry about? I’m not that authoritarian, and besides, if they don’t mind me moving in for a few days each month, then that would be best.” Qin Zhen: ... I really can’t see how you’ve become so unusually understanding! He gave an awkward smile, “Then that’s great. Actually, it’s no big deal since we live so close... In the future, we can arrange for Qin Ye and his family to stay at home for a couple of days each week, to keep you company.” His words pleased Old Sir Qin, whose eyes sparkled with anticipation as he looked at his eldest grandson, suggesting that this could work, right? Qin Ye was unnerved by that look... and inadvertently nodded his head. “Of course it’s possible.” Staying for a day or two wouldn’t be a problem, he reckoned his wife would agree. Old Sir Qin was overjoyed to hear his agreement, worried he might change his mind and quickly said, “Then it’s settled. By the way, is there anything you need to buy for the house? If there’s anything missing, Grandpa will buy it for you.” “No need, we’re not living there right now, buying things would be a waste. Whatever needs to be bought inside the house, we can wait for my wife... She’ll have the final say.” With that, Qin Ye made it clear that his wife was the one who made the decisions at home. Fortunately, Old Sir Qin didn’t mind that, “Alright, then we’ll wait for my granddaughter-in-law to decide, but... about the money...” He wanted to give money again, but Qin Ye still refused, “No need, we have our own money.” Old Sir Qin: ... Qin Zhen: ... There really are such fools in this world, refusing money when it’s offered. Sigh. “By the way, I plan to go back tomorrow.” Qin Ye was worried about his family back home and couldn’t set his mind at ease. As soon as Old Sir Qin heard this, he became a bit anxious, “Can’t you stay a few more days?” He had only been there for a few days and was already planning to leave, Old Sir Qin hadn’t had enough time to dote on him. “Third brother, you’ve come all this way, stay a few more days!” Qin Zhen also joined in persuading him. Qin Ye had already decided to leave tomorrow, so he shook his head firmly, “I’m going back tomorrow.” Besides, he had noticed that Old Sir Qin’s health was actually quite good, with little chance of any problems in the short term. Old Sir Qin had no choice but to relent, “Well, if you’re set on going back, that’s fine, but you have to take the things Grandpa is giving you, you can’t refuse.” Luckily, he had already sent someone to buy them, otherwise, with him leaving tomorrow, it would’ve been too late. Before Qin Ye could speak, Qin Zhen intervened, “How about this! If there’s too much stuff to take, you can just ship it from the post office. It’s more convenient that way.” Old Sir Qin’s eyes lit up, “Right, we’ll ship it.” With everyone agreeing, Qin Ye had to nod, but he still added, “Don’t send too much.” He couldn’t decide on that; Old Sir Qin was planning to send someone to buy more in the afternoon anyway, as he wanted to get more things for his grandson and granddaughter. That evening, the Qin family members learned that Qin Ye was leaving the next day, so they gathered again for dinner as a farewell. Fortunately, Qin Ye didn’t drink at this meal. Everyone ate and chatted until about eight o’clock in the evening before dispersing. Qin Zhen’s father, Qin Xiangnan, had left, then returned. “Qin Ye, I have something to discuss with you.” Qin Ye looked at him, “Uncle, what’s the matter?” Among the elders’ rankings, Qin Xiangnan was a few years older than Qin Ye’s father, so he was the eldest. Qin Xiangnan appeared somewhat embarrassed, “Well... do you have any of those nourishing pills left at your wife’s place? I’d like to buy two more bottles.” Initially, he didn’t believe in the efficacy of these pills. But after seeing his dad and Old Master Qin consume them with no ill effects, his health actually seemed to have improved... A few days ago, he specifically took his dad to the hospital for a check-up, and the health indicators had improved significantly from before. The doctor who conducted the check-up even asked what kind of supplements he was taking. So, those nourishing pills were indeed very good. And now he wanted some. Mostly, he wanted them for his elderly father-in-law and mother-in-law. Qin Ye didn’t immediately agree. “I don’t know if my wife still has any left. I’ll ask her when I get back.” This was enough to please Qin Xiangnan. “Good, then ask your wife when you get back. If she has some, save them for me. Of course, I will pay... don’t refuse the money, because it’s not just for me; I’m asking on behalf of someone else.” He wouldn’t have the face to ask without paying. Qin Ye: “I’ll discuss it with my wife and let you know.” Qin Xiangnan: “Alright, that’s fine. If there’s any, just send me a telegram later. I’ll have Qin Zhen pick it up.” Qin Ye: ... Sending someone to pick it up? That seemed unnecessary. But he didn’t voice this thought. Whether the nourishing pills were available would depend on what his wife said. “Since you’re leaving early tomorrow, you should get some sleep! I’ll be heading back now.” Qin Xiangnan had taken a few steps before smacking his forehead forcefully, then turned around and said, “Look at my memory, I completely forgot. Isn’t your wife very skilled in medicine? Does she want to work at the hospital here? If she’s willing, she can start working right away.” If that happened, Qin Ye’s whole family could probably move to Beijing together. “That’s something I’ll need to discuss with my wife.” Qin Ye’s expression remained untroubled, still repeating the same sentiment. Qin Xiangnan: ... He realized that his nephew was apparently whipped. It seemed like his wife made all the decisions. Being able to work at a hospital was something others couldn’t even ask for; he didn’t believe this niece-in-law would refuse. “Then that’s settled. Ask your wife, and if she’s willing, I’ll arrange her position at the hospital right away.” Qin Ye: “My wife has mentioned taking the university entrance exams, she might not come.” Qin Xiangnan: “It’s great that she’s considering university, but she can still work for a few months, right? She could start working here and then, if she gets into university, she can go to school then. It won’t be a problem.” Qin Ye: “I’ll discuss it with my wife.” Qin Xiangnan’s mouth twitched, “Fine, talk to your wife then. Just send me a telegram later, I’m off.” He had never before encountered someone who clung so firmly to the phrase “I’ll ask my wife.” The next day, Old Sir Qin made a point of seeing Qin Ye off at the train station. “Qin Ye, once you arrive, send a telegram back to let us know you’re safe.” All else that needed to be said had been addressed the night before. Qin Ye nodded, “Alright.” After a moment’s pause, he added, “Take care of your health.” This made Old Sir Qin exceedingly happy, his eldest grandson finally showed concern for him. “Of course, Grandpa will take good care of his health, I still have to help you with the kids.” Qin Zhen on the side: ... At your age, do you really need to be helping with kids? And when Qin Ye heard the mention of kids, a flicker crossed his eyes.
