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 finished her meal in the cafeteria and was resting in the office.
"Your dad and I can't eat much, so why do we have to go all the way? It's so troublesome."
It was unnecessary in his mouth, but Wu Qiuping showed off on her face Everyone can see his expression.
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 so long, she has 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 convenient to drive here."
Zhang An has long been used to his mother-in-law's behavior.
“Hey, it’s a green pepper. Has it grown so big now?”
Looking through it, Wu Qiuping also saw the green pepper inside.
Many peppers have just been planted now. These peppers have matured for a long time in advance, and it is impossible not to be noticed.
Sure enough, with 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. Tonight I will use these green peppers to cook a few more dishes for him, as well as these tomatoes. Your dad's favorite is the roasted pepper mix. Tomatoes, he should be able to have a delicious dinner tonight.”
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, it constantly attracts attention from those around it.
"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 and became anorexic when he went out to socialize a few days ago. He will be fine in two days."
Wu Qiuping was very concerned about Zhang An's concern. satisfy.
As an elderly person, who wouldn’t like to be cared for by children.
"By the way, it's already this time. Xiao Anqin hasn't eaten yet, so 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. time.
It takes about two hours to drive from Changqing. If Zhang An comes here now, he must not have had lunch yet.
The cafeteria 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 have already eaten. After I came here today, I went to the Forestry Bureau to sit for a while, so I ate in the cafeteria."
Hearing this, Wu Qiuping had no plans Pull Zhang An out.
They have been to Changqing frequently this year and are 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 didn't forget to show off her son-in-law's idea to others. .
She remembered very clearly that in the past many people looked down upon Zhang An for being a countryman.
"Mom, I will go back first. I will come to see you in two days when I bring Xiaoying for a checkup."
After all, this is Wu Qiuping's work, not her home. It is always not convenient to chat 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, there were some people nearby who had a good relationship with Wu Qiuping. Colleagues gathered around.
Wu Qiuping naturally doesn't mind this. This is the effect she wants.
"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 knows why, but She doesn't speak 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 felt that he must have some abilities. As expected, 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, such a good girl, only has her eyes on him. It must be that this young man’s vision is much better than ours.”
< br>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? These peppers look tender and tender, and these small green melons and small cucumbers are also very pleasant. They are still the same as when they were first planted. "Well, how can I eat it?"
The drunkard didn't care about the wine. Many people came around to greet Wu Qiuping, just because of the vegetables in the basket that everyone coveted.
"Yes, Xiao An usually has nothing to do at home, so he just thinks about these things. No, the things he planted are not only delicious, but also mature earlier than those grown by vegetable farmers."
Everyone has brought opportunities to their doorstep, so naturally Wu Qiuping will not let it go.
Now I was showing off to others, looking very proud.
“I won’t share it with you today. Although it looks like a big frame, there are not many of each kind, and it is just an appetizer for my old Su. I will share it with you next time. . ”
Looking at the eyes of the colleagues around him, Wu Qiuping didn’t know what they were thinking. She just wanted to come over and see if she could go along.
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. People from the whole 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.
Furthermore, Wu Qiuping was afraid that someone would suddenly say, "What happened to the children at home, what happened to the elderly, and wanted to take two back."
People have already spoken, so it is not convenient 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 can give some privately, Wu Qiuping has never thought of splitting it among others.
So every time Zhang An sends something over, she can find some reasons and excuses.
"Of course, this is the filial piety of the children towards you after all. How can we be shameless? It's just that your little son-in-law's vegetables have been put on the market in advance, and we have an appetizing aroma just by smelling them, so I would like to ask you to help me see how much he has left. Can you bring some over so that we can buy a few kilograms each and give the elderly and children at home a taste of such good things?”
Normally, after Wu Qiuping said these words, others 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.
Just being in the same office, just smelling the alluring fragrance 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 a problem.
"Yes, Sister Ping, please help me ask. My Guawazi has never liked eating, but he ate the food he shamelessly asked for from Sister Ping several times. It smells good. If I can buy it, I will definitely buy more.”
“Don’t talk about that kid, just the smell of this cucumber makes me feel greedy.”
With one person taking the lead, the others' eyes lit up and they followed suit, 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 said it when he was here just now."
If it's a two-person relationship Wu Qiuping will definitely refuse for Zhang An. After all, she knows that her little son-in-law is a bit lazy and doesn'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?"
Seeing Zhang An, Su Shaowen was quite curious. This son-in-law rarely went into 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."
Su Shaowen is Su Ying's father after all; Father-in-law, Zhang An has always cared about his 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 have a look.
If there is no problem, just treat it as if you are here to check your pulse and check your body.
"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 cold."
Su Shaowen didn't either. If you refuse, who would be unhappy if your child becomes interested in you?
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 party for a short time, he knew that his son-in-law was not bad.
"Hmm, dad, please stop talking first and calm down your breathing."
When diagnosing the pulse, if the other party keeps talking or breathing is not smooth, it will 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 a quarter of an hour, Zhang An had already Saw the problem.
"Ah, it's not that serious. I feel like it's just a loss of appetite. The other things don't seem to have any impact."
Su Shaowen doesn't doubt that Zhang An misread it, but besides his appetite, After that, I didn't feel any discomfort in my stomach.
"Actually, you should have felt very uncomfortable in your stomach in the past two days, but because the cold air entered the body and numbed the stomach meridian, you didn't feel much at all."
This situation is worse than Stomach pain is even more terrifying 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, alcohol will I can’t drink any more, not even 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 for you."
Every time Zhang An brings something over, he always puts it at Wu Qiuping's place.
However, sometimes Zhang An sends a lot, and Wu Qiuping cannot take it home alone, so Su Shaowen needs 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.
"Old 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 it, and insists on coming over to see it. No, I don't know if I don't know. , I was shocked when I saw it. I really hurt my stomach when I drank last time."
Su Shaowen finished with a smile, then turned to introduce to 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, there is no need to say hello, but with Su Shaowen’s introduction, Zhang An still calls them 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, is called Chen Yuanzhi.
When Zhang An checked Su Shaowen's pulse just now, he had been outside.
Seeing how proficient Zhang An was in the medical treatment process, he also wanted to ask Zhang An to help.
After all, he could take Chinese medicine, but he still would not choose to go to the hospital.
Because when I go to the hospital, it would be better if I just get an injection and it won’t waste time.
But if you need to get fluids, infusions, or even be hospitalized, that would be troublesome.
Overall, their unit is okay, but it is troublesome to ask for leave.
Even if you take sick leave, there will still be piles of things waiting for you.
