The longed-for village system

Chapter 446 Preparations for the New Period

Whether Zhao Xiaogu was genuinely exhausted or not, she was truly too weak to continue for an hour before Chen Qing carried her out of the bathroom.

After breakfast, Chen Qing arrived at the hospital. After checking everyone up, he went to the ICU ward. At this time, Grandpa Wu on the hospital bed had already woken up. When he saw Chen Qing come in, he struggled to get up from the bed.

"Grandpa, you should lie down and rest. You're not in the right condition to get up and move around." Chen Qing advised Grandpa Wu, who was struggling to get up, and then began to take his pulse. "Hmm! Not bad, it seems you exercise regularly!"

Chen Qing was also somewhat surprised that a centenarian had such a robust physique. No wonder the internet said that he could still perform surgery at the age of 90; his physical foundation was truly impressive.

"Thank you for your help, Dr. Chen Qing. I never imagined that after fighting cancer all my life, I would almost die from it. It's really shameful to admit."

After a lifetime of dedicated research, he discovered that he was not as skilled or capable as a young man in his early twenties. He felt ashamed but also fortunate.

Although he himself had not been able to figure out how to cure tumors, Chen Qing had the ability to cure this incurable disease of mankind. He believed that a cure for cancer would be available soon, which would be a great blessing for mankind.

"This is what is called inheritance! The responsibilities of the previous generation will always be handed over to the next generation, and the task of the next generation is to stand on the shoulders of the previous generation and continue to make progress. Isn't this how our Chinese nation has developed?"

Chen Qing knew what Old Master Wu was talking about, and smiled as he comforted him.

The old man was clearly surprised that Chen Qing would say such comforting words. A relieved and satisfied smile appeared on his face. He laughed and said, "Haha! That makes sense. Dr. Chen Qing, what you said makes perfect sense. With young people like you in China, how can we not prosper? This old man can finally rest in peace."

Why did he perform surgery on patients when he was 90 years old? Was it because he didn't want to rest? Of course not, it was because he couldn't let go of his sense of responsibility. Now, hearing Chen Qing's words, he felt that he could put down this responsibility with peace of mind, because his descendants had taken on their responsibilities and would do them even better than the older generation.

After chatting with Chen Qing for a while, the old man gained a deeper understanding of him. This young man possessed a maturity and mind far beyond his years, no wonder he was called a prodigy by everyone, he truly deserved that title!
"What a pity, what a pity!"

Seeing his father gazing in the direction Chen Qing had left, sighing with regret, the man asked curiously, "Dad, what are you regretting? Didn't Dr. Chen say your recovery was going well?"

Grandpa Wu glanced at his son and daughter beside him and continued, "I regret that Dr. Chen Qing is already married. If he were still single, he and Xiao Xuanyi would be a perfect match, and their ages are also suitable."

The old man was puzzled. These days, young people don't want to get married, especially those in the entertainment industry. Aren't they all starting to plan their marriages in their early thirties? How come such a talented man is already married at such a young age?
"Dad, you don't want Xuanyi to marry Dr. Chen, do you? He has several female celebrities around him, each of whom is just as beautiful as Xuanyi. Besides, given Xuanyi's personality, she would never accept her man having other women, let alone being a mistress."

Grandpa Wu's eldest daughter was horrified. Xuan Yi was the granddaughter he loved most, and now she had such thoughts. If she hadn't been there the whole time, she would have suspected that Chen Qing had tampered with the treatment.

"Several women? That doesn't make sense!" "Dad, there's nothing that doesn't make sense. I admit that Dr. Chen's talent and thinking are indeed extraordinary, but to be honest, he's still a young man, and it's not so easy for him to resist beautiful women."

When his daughter answered, Grandpa Wu simply shook his head. "That's not what I meant. With Dr. Chen's talent, it's perfectly normal for several women to like him."

"Alright, let's leave it at that! Just like you said, Dr. Chen is never short of beautiful women around him. Even if we're willing, it doesn't mean he's willing. Now that Dr. Chen is taking care of my treatment, there shouldn't be any problems. You can all go home and make your own arrangements! I'll call you if there are any issues."

Although his sons and daughters have all retired, the old man didn't want to trouble them too much. Now that his health has improved, he sent them back home, as it's inconvenient for so many people to be at the hospital.

Of course, even though the old man said that, they couldn't really do it. However, two of them went back to rest first due to their own health reasons, and with the addition of hired caregivers, things were a bit easier.

Chen Qing returned to the old house for lunch. After finishing her work at home, Sister Chen finally rushed back to cook for them. The reason for returning to the old house was that a new episode of the Mushroom House show would be filmed the next day, and the production crew would come to set up the equipment in the evening. It wouldn't be appropriate for them to stay there any longer.

"Has Sister Chen sorted out her family matters? If you need our help, just let us know," Chen Qing said to Sister Chen while eating.

"If you need any help, Sister Chen, just let us know. We're all family, so don't be shy," Zhao Xiaogu said to Sister Chen.

"Okay! Thank you, Xiao Chen and Xiao Gu. It's nothing serious, it's all taken care of."

Sister Chen smiled and expressed her gratitude, saying that she wouldn't trouble the couple with such a small matter. She also knew how to be sensible and restrained, unless she encountered a problem that neither she nor her family could solve. She believed that favors were becoming less valuable with each use.

After lunch, the three of them took a short rest and then went to the Mushroom House to pack their belongings. They had stayed at the Mushroom House quite a bit during this period, and had left a lot of their luggage and daily necessities there.

"Good afternoon, Xiao Chen and Xiao Gu!"

Old Wang and the others got out of the car and entered the yard. When they saw Chen Qing and the others tidying up, they immediately called out to them.

"Director Wang, Director Xi, why are you here so early? I thought you wouldn't arrive until evening!" Chen Qing greeted everyone with a smile.
