The story of the boss after retirement

"(⊙_⊙)?"

"What do you say?"

Dad Li was confused. Why did his daughter-in-law always act out her mind? Weiwei was already studying for a doctorate, but she came to accompany him. Wasn't this just making trouble?

"I said I'm here to accompany her, why are you looking at me like that? I'm retired and have nothing to do, so why can't I come to accompany her? Besides, I'm not taking advantage of Weiwei. I can rent a house nearby, and my pension can afford it."

Mother Li thought about it all night and came up with this idea. Gu Xiao was a foreigner and Mother Li always felt uneasy. No matter how outstanding Gu Xiao was, all she wanted was a person with good character and no bad habits. However, this was not something that could be observed all at once and required long-term interaction.

Li's mother prefers local boys. On the one hand, she wants Li Wei to be closer to her. On the other hand, local people know everything about a person, and relatives and friends around them can all find out what kind of person he is. Li's mother wants Li Wei to marry happily, but she doesn't want her to marry someone who looks good on the outside but is miserable on the inside.

Mother Li was not as open-minded as she was when she talked to Li Wei. She still had her concerns. If Gu Xiao was not really tall and handsome, she would not have been able to find any fault with him. She would have accepted it. She was really afraid that Li Wei would end up alone.

After all, Li Wei is not short of money now and she has done well. Basically, local boys are not worthy of Li Wei. Li's mother also knows that Li Wei has high standards. If this doesn't work out and her daughter doesn't get married, then she would be worried.

Mother Li was very conflicted. She knew that Gu Xiao was a good person and that they were a good match for each other, but she just wanted to know what kind of person Gu Xiao was. She came up with this idea that night. She came to Taiwan to accompany her child to study. Didn't Gu Xiao come to Taiwan often? This way, she could see how they got along and get to know what kind of person this little Gu was like.

"I tell you to stop making such a fuss. You are rich, but your health is not good. If you go to the hospital, who will take care of you? The hospital system here is different from ours, and you don't have any familiar doctors. It will be so troublesome. Weiwei has to go to school. Do you want Xiao Gu to take care of you?" Dad Li was convinced by his wife's crazy idea. She was really making a fuss and simply bringing trouble to the child.

"Hospital? Yes, why didn't I think of that? A hospital can really tell a person's true character. Lao Li, don't tell me, my back pain from the past few days has come back. I'll ask Weiwei and Xiao Gu to accompany me to the hospital tomorrow."

Let’s put the matter of accompanying his child to study on hold for now and go to the hospital first. Mother Li wants to observe Gu Xiao’s character.

"Weiwei, Auntie is not feeling well. Why does she want to go to the hospital?" When Gu Xiao sobered up and heard that Aunt Li was going to the hospital, he came to his senses completely.

"My mother has back pain, it's an old problem of hers, but it's been mild in the past two years. She goes to the hospital every year to get medicine and physical therapy. I didn't expect it to hurt again today. I don't know how the doctors in this hospital are."

When Li Wei received a call from Li's mother, her brows furrowed. Li's mother's back pain was the result of confinement during her youth. Now it was lumbar disc herniation. When it was serious, she had to stay in bed. She dared not exert any force due to the pain in her back and even had difficulty putting on clothes. However, the doctor in her hometown was not bad. Li's mother had been living according to the doctor's advice. She rarely had an attack in the past two years. Why did it happen today?

"Weiwei, don't worry. I know a very good doctor. Although he is not in Taiwan, I can invite him to come and see my aunt. Back pain should be a spinal problem. Which doctor should I consult?" Gu Xiao immediately checked his phone and started flipping through the address book.

"Don't worry. My mother has an old illness. Maybe it relapsed because she didn't get enough rest. Besides, the doctors you know are all Western medicine doctors. My mother is used to seeing Chinese medicine doctors. I still want her to go to the hospital. If her back pain is severe, I can ask other doctors. Or I can fly back to my hometown with my mother for treatment. But if that happens, the rest of the trip will be wasted."

"Okay, then I'll stay with you." Gu Xiao put down his phone, hugged Li Wei tightly, and silently gave Li Wei strength.

Early Thursday morning, Gu Xiao and Li Wei accompanied Li's mother to see a doctor. Li's father and Li Lin also went with them. Li Wei had not been sick in the hospital for the past two years and was not sure which doctors were good. However, she asked local classmates and professors, and Gu Xiao also asked professors she was familiar with. There really were some good Chinese medicine practitioners with family skills. Finally, Gu Xiao asked for favors and got an appointment with a Chinese medicine practitioner who was very good at treating lumbar disc herniation.

However, the doctor's clinic was quite far away, and they needed to drive for two hours. Along the way, Gu Xiao was very concerned about Li Ma's health, asking her if she wanted to drink hot water, if she was hungry, if her back pain was severe, and whether the car needed to slow down. Li Wei could not match his attentiveness, and his words were steady and gentle. Li Ma nodded as he looked at her.

During the consultation, Li Wei stayed in the inner room, while Gu Xiao, Li's father and Li Lin were waiting in the outer room. Gu Xiao talked with Li's father, and no one was left out.

"You've had a herniated disc for many years. You didn't take good care of it when you were young, and then you did heavy work, so it became more and more serious. But you've taken good care of yourself in recent years." The doctor looked at the X-ray in his hand and felt the bones on his hand, and he immediately knew Li's condition. The disc had been herniated for too long, and it would be difficult to get it back in place. It required continuous treatment, and the doctor used moxibustion and massage techniques to relieve the symptoms.

Li Ma originally just wanted to find an excuse to observe Gu Xiao's character, but she didn't expect to meet a great Chinese medicine doctor. The doctor could tell whether he was good or not with just one move. The massage technique was worthy of being a family tradition. Li Ma originally felt that her waist was a little tight, but as soon as the doctor massaged, that part loosened and she felt very comfortable.

"Auntie, how do you feel?"

"Much better. This doctor is really amazing. But this is just a temporary solution. If you want to cure the root cause, you have to do massage, acupuncture and take medicine every month. Don't you think this is a hassle?"

Mother Li didn't expect that the treatment would be effective, and the doctor suggested that she come every month. After half a year, most of the symptoms would be relieved, and then she only needed to come once a year. However, it would be too troublesome to fly to Taiwan every month. Mother Li didn't plan to do that. She decided to stay in her hometown to see a doctor. The medical insurance here cannot cover the cost, and medical treatment is too expensive.

"It's not a problem. I was planning to buy a house here. After I buy the house, you can just live here. I remember the longest contract is six months, which is just right. It won't be a hassle."

When Li Wei heard the doctor's advice, she had already made up her mind. She would buy a property in Taiwan, and as a relative, Li's mother could come with a visitor visa. This would solve the problem. Li Wei had been studying in Taiwan for two years, so she could buy a property in Taiwan. Everything seemed to be destined. Li's mother could not have imagined that she would really go to Taiwan to accompany her son to study on a whim.

"If you want to buy a house, then buy a house. You have so much money that you have to spend it all." After returning to the hotel, Li's mother held Li Wei and muttered. Gu Xiao accompanied Li Lin to visit the otaku street in Taiwan. Li Lin could finally see many of his favorite figures. He just wanted to give each figure a home. This is not too much.

"I still have to study here. Besides, I have cooperation with the film and television culture company here. Buying a house here is a plan. It's not like I have too much money to burn." Li Wei curled her lips. This was something she had thought about carefully and it was not just a sudden impulse.

"Then will it be a bother to you if I come here to see the doctor?" Li's mother said hesitantly. She had said before that she would accompany her to study, but she didn't really mean it. She was afraid that it would affect Li Wei's study and career.

"It's not a problem. We still have Gu Xiao. He's eager to take care of you and please you. You always have to let him do some work, otherwise he's afraid that you'll hate him." Li Wei also realized that although Li's mother said that Xiao Gu was very good, she still had doubts in her heart. Now that Li's mother has been in Taiwan for half a year, and Gu Xiao has been with her all the time, these doubts should be resolved.

"You figured it out." Mother Li thought she had hidden it well.

"Then you didn't tell Xiao Gu!"

"No, I'm not that stupid! You, just stay here and accompany your child in his studies peacefully. It's a good opportunity to change your environment. Don't you always ask where your colleagues are traveling? You are much further away than them now, and you still have to travel outside for another half a year. They must be so envious." Li Wei smiled and joked with Li's mother.

Mother Li looked at Li Wei's relaxed look, and also at the time when Li Wei was seeing the doctor today, she asked very detailed questions in the inner room, what to avoid eating, what to eat more, what to avoid, and she wrote down everything.

Li Wei's eyebrows and eyes have grown bigger, and her words and actions are full of confidence. She is no longer the child in Li's mother's impression. Weiwei, you have really grown up.

"Okay, don't stay here any longer, go back quickly. Even if I want to come here to accompany you to study, I will wait until you buy a house. Oh, buying a house is a big deal, you must be careful. This is your first house, the location and layout are very important. In the next few days, we will go to look at houses together, and mom and dad can give you some advice. Otherwise, you, a little kid, will be cheated by the agent!"

(The author has set deadlines for buying a house and visiting relatives, so you don’t need to use your brain when reading this book.)
