Chapter 136 Grandpa's Old Friend Deng
Chapter 136 Grandpa's Old Friend Deng
He Xiangjun opened the car door and got out, then opened the back door and said, "Let's go! I'll take you there. It's my day off today."
"Well, thank you, Brother Xiang Jun." Tang Man couldn't keep refusing, so she pulled Xie Qian into the car.
After the car started again, Tang Man introduced, "Xixi, this is my neighbor brother, and Brother Xiangjun, this is my sister-in-law Xie Xi."
Xie Qian nodded politely, "Hello, Chief He."
"Xiao Xie, can I call you that? You are Manman's sister, which means you are my sister. You don't have to be so polite. Just call me Brother Xiang Jun together with Manman."
"This..." Xie Qian looked at Tang Man.
Tang Man smiled and said, "Brother Xiang Jun is a very nice person, and he is also my brother's best friend. If Xixi doesn't mind, you can just call him Brother Xiang Jun like I do. Of course, if Xixi has any concerns, you don't have to call him that."
Xie Qian nodded and said, "Then Brother Xiang Jun, just call me Xie Qian."
"Okay." He Xiangjun responded with a smile and started chatting with Tang Man again. "Manman, are you going to your husband's place? I heard from my mother that your husband lives in the West District."
Tang Man nodded and said, "Yes! I accidentally found a turtle today, and I want to send it over to see if Grandpa is interested in raising it."
"You've been away for two years, and you didn't even bother to contact us. You didn't even tell us when you finally came back. And your brother is really tight-lipped. He didn't even tell us about your marriage.
If I hadn't gone home today, I wouldn't have known this news! You too, didn't even take the initiative to bring your husband out for us to meet."
"You're all very busy! But it will be soon. When we get married, if Brother Xiangjun has time to come over, I will definitely introduce him to you."
"That's bound to happen. When our little sister, whom we have spoiled so much, gets married, we have to put aside all the big things."
The two chatted casually for a few words. He Xiangjun was worried that he would neglect Xie Qian, so he didn't continue to talk to Tang Man and left the space for the two girls in the back row.
When they arrived at the place, the two got out of the car, thanked He Xiangjun, and waited for He Xiangjun to leave before they walked into the alley, talking and laughing.
Xie Qian took Tang Man directly to Yu Ren Tang, which was located on the street behind Xie's house.
There were a lot of people in Yu Ren Tang. Zheng Chunying and two women were getting medicine in the pharmacy. They were very busy at the moment. Xie Qian greeted them with Tang Man and then took Tang Man to the back, where there was a large yard.
"These are our houses. Grandpa usually doesn't go to the front yard to see patients, but he comes here every day. He will help dad, uncle and aunt when they encounter patients that they can't treat."
Xie Qian explained, and then she saw from afar that Grandpa Xie and a spirited old man were sitting by the lotus pond and chatting, so she took Tang Man over there.
Mr. Xie also saw the two of them and waved to them with a smile, "Xixi, Manman, here you are, come and sit over here."
As they approached, Xie Qian saw the old man with his back to them and greeted him respectfully, "Grandpa Deng, you are here. You haven't been here for a long time. My grandfather always misses you."
Deng Lao smiled and praised, "The little girl is getting better and better at speaking."
Mr. Xie introduced, "Old Deng, this is my granddaughter-in-law, and this is Grandpa Deng."
"Hello, Grandpa Deng." Tang Man greeted him respectfully. He already had a guess about the identity of this person in his mind. This person should be the big leader who had come forward to help Mr. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang solve the problem before.
"Hello, Manman." Deng Lao smiled and nodded, "The third boy has a good eye."
"Manman, come and sit down." Grandpa Xie asked Tang Man to sit next to him. "You came at the right time. I was just talking to your Grandpa Deng about the longevity pill you made."
When Tang Man heard what Mr. Xie said, she understood what he meant and asked with a smile.
"I still have a few bottles at home. I made them to give to my grandparents. Later I'll ask Brother Yan to bring one back to give to Grandpa Xie first, and then I'll make another one for my grandparents."
Deng Lao waved his hand. "No, I heard from your grandfather that this longevity pill is made of ginseng and ganoderma lucidum, so it must be very expensive. But when your grandfather spoke of the longevity pill, he praised it highly. I still want to try it. If you have extra pills, buy a bottle for me to try first."
"Grandpa Deng, you are my friend, which means you are my elder. It's okay for a younger generation to show respect to the elders. I will give you this meal. If you like it and want to continue eating in the future, it's not too late to pay later."
Mr. Xie also smiled and said, "This is a kind gift from the little girl, so just keep it! Just like the little girl said, take it back to try it this time. If it tastes good, it won't be too late to pay later."
Xie Qian also chimed in, "Grandpa Deng, just keep it! I'm helping my brother to show my filial piety to you. Why shouldn't you keep it?"
Deng Lao finally compromised and said, "Okay, I'll keep it, but only this time."
Tang Man smiled and said, "That's for sure. The herbs needed for the longevity pills are quite expensive. Grandpa Deng wants me to keep sending them, but I can't afford it."
At this time, Mr. Xie noticed the turtle in the enamel basin on the ground. "Where did such a big turtle come from?"
"An old lady gave it to my sister-in-law. She's old now and wants to find a new owner for the turtle, so my sister-in-law is coming to give it to grandpa."
Xie Xi explained and added with a smile.
"Grandpa, you have to take good care of it. My sister-in-law promised that she would treat this turtle well."
"Manman, you are so thoughtful. Don't worry, Grandpa will definitely take good care of it." Grandpa Xie really liked this turtle. He smiled and bent down to touch the turtle. "Xixi, go to the kitchen and cut a small piece of meat. Remember to use all lean meat. It can't eat fat."
"Okay!" Xie Qian responded, stood up and left.
Seeing that Mr. Xie was so familiar with him, Tang Man smiled and asked, "Did your grandfather raise him?"
Mr. Xie was silent for a while before he said, "The Xie family also had one for more than fifty years. Later, something happened at home and they had no time to take care of it, so it was stolen by those black-hearted servants."
"I'm sorry, Grandpa, I didn't know." Tang Man knew that she must have inadvertently mentioned the unforgettable past of the Xie family, so she hurriedly apologized with a smile.
Mr. Xie smiled and waved his hands. "What's there to apologize for? That's all in the past. I just couldn't bear to part with that guy. Fortunately, you sent me another one now."
Grandpa Deng stayed for a while and then left. After seeing them off, Grandpa Xie said to Tang Man, "Before you came back, your Grandpa Deng mentioned your father to me. He is very satisfied with your father. Your father should be promoted before the end of the year."
