Siheyuan: No One Can Be Left Behind

Ran Qiuye rolled her eyes and said, "How can you talk like that? What do you mean by following you? It means getting married, okay?"

When it comes to marriage, it's like pinching Li Dongfang's Achilles' heel. Marriage is definitely impossible, but he can't say that. If he says that, even if he offers 2000 kilograms of flour, Ran's father and mother will not agree.

"Not really. It's just a few things, you can just take it. This can't measure your value. I hope that if we are together, it's because of love, not for anything else." Li Dongfang changed the concept. Of course, this kind of tea talk is very touching in this era.

Looking at the light in Ran Qiuye's eyes, Li Dongfang knew that he had successfully fooled her.

Li Dongfang struck while the iron was hot and said, "Besides, if your parents marry you to me because I give them these grains, then people will talk about them behind their backs and say that they are selling their daughter. This is not acceptable."

Ran Qiuye said helplessly after hearing this: "I also told them not to come, but they insisted on coming. What can I do?"

Li Dongfang thought for a moment and said, "If they are here because of this matter, then I will handle it."

As he said this, he pushed Ran Qiuye towards the outer room. After all, it was not good to leave the old couple outside.

"Uncle, aunt, this is a drink given by a friend, please try it." Li Dongfang signaled Ran Qiuye to pour it for the two elders.

"Hey, what is this? Can I drink it? Why is it so dark?" Father Ran said as he looked at the bubbling Coke.

Ran's mother looked at him with disdain and said, "Can you be more promising? This is just soda. Look at the bubbles. It's black soda, don't you understand?"

As she said this, Ran's mother picked up the cup, took a sip, and then burped happily.

"Wow, so comfortable. This stuff tastes better than soda! In this hot weather, I take a gulp and then burp, and it feels like all the heat in my body has been expelled." Ran's mother finished drinking the Coke with a look of enjoyment on her face, and urged Ran Qiuye to pour her another glass.

When Father Ran saw Mother Ran's enjoyment, he also took a sip and his eyes suddenly lit up. They both drank two large cups in a row before stopping.

Ran's mother obviously remembered the business and asked, "Dongfang, who else is in your family? What do they do?"

Li Dongfang smiled and said, "Aunt, my dad is a researcher and my mom is a doctor. Now they are both sent to other places on business and they won't be back for a while."

"Oh, so you're afraid that your lifelong event will be delayed." Ran's mother said worriedly when she heard that Li Dongfang's parents were not at home.

"That's not possible. We have to cultivate their relationship first. Maybe when they come back, we can have a wedding banquet at that time." Li Dongfang said vaguely.

Father Ran also nodded and said, "That makes sense. Nowadays, people advocate free love. It must be compatible between the two of them."

Mother Ran rolled her eyes at Father Ran, then turned to ask Li Dongfang, "Dongfang, I heard that you are now a cadre at the steel mill?"

She didn't dare ask if he was the deputy factory director. She always felt that Li Dongfang was too young and didn't look like such a big leader.

"Yes, deputy director." Li Dongfang smiled and nodded.

"I heard that you are a specially-appointed expert at Union Hospital?"

"Yes, Auntie."

"Oh, that's great. From now on, we don't have to go to the hospital if we have a headache or a fever." Ran's mother was even more satisfied.

Ran Qiuye saw her mother checking the household registration, and quickly interrupted, "By the way, Dad and Mom, you always say you don't feel well here or there, how about asking him to take a look at you?"

Li Dongfang certainly had no objection to this request, so he said to the old couple: "How about uncle come first?"

Father Ran moved his stool, looked at Li Dongfang and asked, "How do you check? Take the pulse?"

Li Dongfang nodded and said, "Yes, uncle, please stretch out your left hand..."

After taking the pulse, Li Dongfang paused for a moment, frowned slightly and said, "Uncle, your health isn't very good. Do you sometimes have sore waist and knees, insomnia and dreaminess? Feeling weak all over? And sometimes having stomach discomfort."

"Yes, it's like this often. Is this a disease?" Father Ran always thought it was due to poor eating and sleeping.

Li Dongfang nodded and said, "It's because your liver is not in good condition, but it's not a big problem. As long as you pay attention to recuperation, it should be fine."

Then I checked Ran's mother, and it was similar, with liver problems also.

"Uncle and aunt, liver problems are basically caused by a bad mood, and a bad liver can easily make people irritable and angry, so you should try to keep a calm mind in the future and don't get angry about anything." Li Dongfang said slowly.

"See, old man? I make you angry every day and you've become sick." After hearing this, Ran's mother immediately started to attack Ran's father.

Father Ran glared at him and said, "What do you mean I made you angry? It's obviously you who nag me all the time and make me angry!"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Li Dongfang and Ran Qiuye quickly advised: "Uncle and aunt, please talk nicely and don't get angry."

"Mom and Dad, you two are at it again. You can't talk calmly." Ran Qiuye looked at Li Dongfang helplessly.

Li Dongfang also continued, "Uncle and aunt, a large part of the reason you are like this is due to the influence of your illness. I will prescribe some medicine for you later. If you insist on taking it, you should not be so easily angered in a few days."

"Really? Thank you so much, Dongfang. If it weren't for this old man making me angry every other day, I wouldn't be like this." Ran's mother thanked him.

When Father Ran heard her say this, he was immediately unhappy, "What do you mean I made you angry..."

"I won't say anything else. Look at those relatives of yours who are not related to you at all. You just want to piss me off to death. When I die, no one will be able to control you." Ran's mother interrupted Ran's father before he could finish his words.

"Look at you, here you go again..."

Li Dongfang saw that the two were about to start arguing again, and hurriedly persuaded them: "Auntie, don't be angry, I heard that uncle is also helping relatives..."

When Father Ran heard what Li Dongfang said, he immediately became excited and said, "Did you hear that? Dongfang said it was to help a relative."

"Forget it, what kind of relatives are they? They are not even related at all, how can they be called relatives?"

Li Dongfang looked at Ran Qiuye helplessly when he saw the two of them like this. Ran Qiuye shrugged and whispered, "It's the same at home."

Just when Li Dongfang didn't know how to persuade him, Lin Shu pushed the door open and said, "The meal is ready. Do you want to bring it over to eat, or come over to eat together?"

Li Dongfang immediately said, "Bring it here, bring it here, I'll go with you."

When he stood up and walked out, he did not forget to signal Ran Qiuye with his eyes, asking her to persuade him quickly.

Li Dongfang deliberately chatted with Sha Zhu for a while before taking the dishes back.

Give Ran Qiuye's family enough time to mediate among themselves. After all, he is an outsider and many things are difficult for him to say.
