Siheyuan: Traveling through three years to gain the power of a palm

"I'll prescribe some medicine for you. You should take it for a while. But remember, pay attention to your diet during this period. Eat more light foods, don't get angry, and most importantly, don't go to Xiao Taohong again."

Yang Liming nodded repeatedly, wishing he could engrave the doctor's instructions in his mind.

Holding the prescription, Yang Limin asked again, "Doctor, I don't mean anything else. I just want to ask, will this disease affect my normal life in the future?"

"This won't affect you, just rest assured."

"That's good, thank you, doctor." Yang Limin was overjoyed after getting the answer he wanted. If a man can't do it, he might as well die.

Yang Liming felt very uncomfortable when he thought that he would not be able to visit Xiao Taohong for some time.

As the sun sets, Jiang Daniu returns home and is pulled into the house by Shen Yue.

As soon as she entered the door, Shen Yue couldn't wait to ask, "How was it? Did you meet anyone today?"

"I saw her. I don't know why you were so anxious. The girl is very nice. She is pretty, tall, and polite." Jiang Daniu said.

"Then did you mention inviting her to dinner at home?"

"I didn't tell you, but the second brother told us on his way back that the girl would be coming over this Sunday."

"This Sunday? Today is Thursday, so there are only two days left. I have to prepare well." Shen Yue was thinking about what vegetables to buy for cooking in the next two days.

"You seem to be very concerned about the second brother's affairs, but I didn't see you care much about the eldest brother back then."

"That's different, Second Brother. Even if I tell you, you won't understand. I'd better go and ask Second Brother what the girl likes to eat and if there are any taboos. Don't let her think we don't respect her."

Shen Yue immediately went out to discuss with Jiang Fan.

"I don't understand? How could I not understand the son I gave birth to?" Jiang Daniu snorted twice.

"Dietary restrictions? She's not from a minority ethnic group, and she doesn't believe in anything, so there's no dietary restrictions.

Okay, Mom, I'll do the grocery shopping. I'll find some friends and get some good food these next couple of days. You just wait until Sunday to show off your skills."

"Is there enough time? We can't delay anything, otherwise I'll go to the vegetable market to buy some supplies." Shen Yue said with a little concern.

"Don't worry, there will be no delay. I'm very capable." Jiang Fan said confidently. There is really no food in the world that he can't get.

Over the next two days, Shen Yue led the family in a thorough cleaning and rearranging of the furniture. To impress Zhong Xueying, she even went to the barber shop to get a stylish haircut.

Time flies and it’s Sunday.

The entire Jiang family was on high alert, waiting for Zhong Xueying at home.

"Second brother, go wait at the entrance of the alley. What if she can't find the way?"

Jiang Fan stood up from the chair helplessly and walked outside.

"What's with that expression on Lao Er's face? Doesn't he want to go and greet them? How about I go with him?"

Jiang Yu curled his lips and said, "Brother, you can't trust my second brother. I bet he must be secretly very happy right now. No, I'll go with him to see it. I haven't seen it yet."

Jiang Yu trotted over and followed. Jiang Fan didn't care. If she wanted to wait with him, then she could wait. It wasn't even eight o'clock yet, so he had to wait for an hour or two.

As a result, half an hour later, Jiang Fan saw the familiar figure at the entrance of the alley.

He quickened his pace and smiled as he came up to him. "Why are you here so early?"

"If I had come a little later, you would have had to wait a little longer." Zhong Xueying blinked, looking a little cute.

"Why don't you ride your bike here? It's such a long way, you must be tired."

"A little, but it's okay. By the way, my brother took the bike away, so I'll have to trouble you to take me home this afternoon."

"No problem, just leave it to me."

There was a hint of triumph in Zhong Xueying's tone, "Then thank you for your help."

The interaction between the two of them completely ignored Jiang Yu who was standing beside them. She narrowed her eyes and shouted at Jiang Fan, "Oi! There's another person here? You can't miss such a big living person, right? Introduce me!"

"My sister is Jiang Yu, don't bother with her. I'll take you home to see my mother first. She's been talking about you for a long time. Eight out of ten times she's talked about you in the past two days."

After saying that, Jiang Fan called to Jiang Yu, "Go in first and tell our mother that someone is here."

"Oh." Jiang Yu nodded, pouted, and ran back to the yard. She still knew what was important and what was not. She would squeeze money out of Jiang Lao Er in the evening.

The fact that Jiang Fan's girlfriend was coming over today had never been revealed in the yard, so when he came back with people, the people in the yard were still a little shocked.

But no one came up to talk to me, not because they didn't want to, but because they didn't have the opportunity.

As soon as she entered the front yard, Zhong Xueying was pulled back home by the enthusiastic Shen Yue. Jiang Fan was left alone, just like Jiang Yu had just experienced.

With a helpless sigh, Jiang Fan took the gifts brought by Zhong Xueying and went home.

Because there were too many people in the house, it would be a bit crowded if they were all squeezed in, so Jiang Daniu and others who had met before were squeezed out of the house. Uncle Jiang introduced himself and left.

Jiang Fan was left alone to act as the introducer.

Shen Yue, Li Xiaohua, Chen Qian, Qi Ting, Jiang Yu, and two little ones, Jiang Yifei and Jiang Yining. Qi Ting is pregnant with another one, about to give birth.

After knowing who was who, Zhong Xueying handed the gift she brought to Shen Yue.

There are so many people in the Jiang family, so of course she couldn't buy one for everyone. She bought two boxes of snacks, and the rest were some small things she made herself.

"Oh, this is sewn so beautifully, the craftsmanship is amazing." Shen Yue looked at the exquisite purse in her hand and praised from the bottom of her heart.

"Thank you for the compliment, Auntie. I just did it casually."

“It’s so good if you just do it casually, it would be even better if you prepare it well.

Why are you still here? Go out and wash the vegetables."

Jiang Fan didn't dare to get angry when he saw Shen Yue's attitude change drastically. He just turned his head to look at Zhong Xueying.

The latter directly took Shen Yue's arm and said, "Jiang Fan, go and do your work. I'll have a good chat with my aunt."

"Okay, you guys chat."

Chapter 421: Red River

Jiang Fan didn't know what his mother and Xueying talked about, but it seemed like they had a pleasant conversation.

After lunch and some small talk, Zhong Xueying said goodbye. Jiang Fan pushed the bicycle he had just cleaned at noon and walked with her home.

From Jiang's house to the gate of the courtyard, Shen Yue held Zhong Xueying's hand, reluctant to let her go, and insisted on chatting for more than ten minutes before letting her go.

After I went out, I took only a few steps and ran into Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e coming back from outside with their child.

Jiang Fan introduced, "Xueying, this is Xu Damao, the film projectionist in our factory's publicity department. This is his wife Lou Xiao'e and son Xu Xiao.

This is Zhong Xueying, my girlfriend."

Xu Damao laughed and said, "I was wondering what kind of girl could win over my brother, a tree that has never blossomed for thousands of years. Seeing her today really opened my eyes."

"Comrade Xu Damao, have you forgotten? We met that day, at lunch, when you took Jiang Fan away." Zhong Xueying said softly.

"Da Mao, why did you pull Jiang Fan away for no reason? It disturbed the relationship between the young couple. Sister Xueying, I apologize to you on his behalf." Lou Xiaoe said.

"Sister Xiao'e, this is not Brother Damao's fault. It's just that I didn't know he had such a close relationship with Jiang Fan at the time, and I thought he was here to cause trouble."

Zhong Xueying quickly explained. She really didn't know the relationship between Xu Damao and Jiang Fan at the time, and since Xu Damao had gone with Li Weiguo, the head of the security department, her immediate concern was utter worry.

Later, Ye Yu and others told her that Jiang Fan was their friend, and she finally felt relieved. It was she who was too worried.

Xu Damao waved his hand and said generously, "Alas, sister-in-law, you are wrong. Or I didn't make it clear in advance. It's my fault. To show my sincerity, I happen to have two tickets for the movie "Man Jiang Hong". You can take them and go watch it."

Xu Damao took out two movie tickets from his pocket. Zhong Xueying did not take them but looked at Jiang Fan.

Jiang Fan wasn't being polite with Xu Damao; he could have taken the movie tickets if he wanted. And Jiang Fan probably planned to meet Xu Damao today, just to give him the two movie tickets.

"Then we'll go home and not disturb you from watching the movie."

When passing by Jiang Fan, Xu Damao bumped into him lightly, and Jiang Fan understood.

"It's still early, how about going to a movie?"

"Okay." Zhong Xueying didn't refuse. She also wanted to take this opportunity to get to know Jiang Fan better. Although Jiang Fan gave her a very good impression now, he was a very good person.

But she had never been alone with Jiang Fan, so this was also an opportunity to get to know each other more deeply.

A few minutes later, the two arrived at the cinema.

There was still some time before the movie started, so Jiang Fan took Zhong Xueying to a nearby supply and marketing cooperative to buy popsicles and soda. Of course, in this day and age, there wasn't much to buy or sell.

"Can you tell me about the people in your yard? It seems that Auntie doesn't want me to get along with those neighbors today?" Zhong Xueying asked the key question while drinking soda.

Jiang Fan frowned and thought about how to say this.

"Hmm? Is it inconvenient to talk about it?" Zhong Xueying asked doubtfully. Seeing Jiang Fan not speaking, she thought there was something he couldn't say.

"No, it's just that because of what the neighbors said, we can't watch the movie anymore." Jiang Fan couldn't help but think of how Shen Yue talked to Chen Qian and Qi Ting about family matters for several hours after they came home.

They were all the trivial things that happened in the courtyard. Of course, many of these trivial things were caused by Jiang Fan.

"The relationships among the neighbors in our yard are quite complicated. If I were to describe them in detail, I'm afraid it would take a whole day and night to finish."

Zhong Xueying's eyes lit up, as if she smelled something extraordinary.

"Is that so? Then let's talk about it tomorrow at work. I think not only me, but Sister Yu and the others should be interested as well."

Jiang Fan nodded when he heard that. He usually wouldn't tell others about what happened in the yard, unless it was a rumor like the one about Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai. He would only say a few words if others asked him.

But since Xueying wanted to hear it, it was okay to talk about it. For his love, I could only sacrifice the little reputation I had among the neighbors.

Although the film "Man Jiang Hong" shares the same name as the poem by Grandpa Yue, the two have nothing to do with each other. This film, produced in 62, is a true love movie.

It tells the love story between an art teacher and a singer.

After the movie ended, Jiang Fan did not suggest going out for dinner. It was not because he was reluctant to spend money, but because he was afraid that Zhong Xueying would go home late, which would lower her family's opinion of him.

Zhong Xueying also planned to go home early. Her parents had already arrived in Sijiu City and knew that she was dating Jiang Fan.

The two old men had no objection to this. Just from what Jiang Fan had done, it was clear that this young man was a kind-hearted person.

After learning about his work, education, appearance, financial status and other issues, they began to have a favorable impression of Jiang Fan, a young man they had never met before.

After all, the conditions are here.

Just wait for Zhong Xueying to come home and tell them about the Jiang family's situation. Don't make too high demands, as long as the parents are not partial and there is no conflict between the brothers.

Zhong Dashan was squatting downstairs, puffing on his cigarette. He had been waiting for quite a while. "This girl just went to someone's house for dinner, why hasn't she come back in so long?"

Just when Zhong Dashan was worried, Jiang Fan stopped in front of him with Zhong Xueying.

"Dad, what are you doing squatting here?" After jumping out of the car, Zhong Xueying quickly walked over and helped her father up.

Jiang Fan immediately got out of the car and parked it. He had never expected to meet Zhong Xueying's father here. For a moment, he felt like a yellow-haired man.

"Lao Deng, is it safe to park my bike here?"

Zhong Dashan laughed and said, "Nothing, I'm not used to living in this tube building, so I came down for a walk."

Then his gaze shifted to Jiang Fan.

"Hello uncle, I'm Jiang Fan, you smoke."

Zhong Dashan didn't move, just stared at Jiang Fan.

"Actually, I was planning to send Xueying back after lunch, but a friend happened to give me two movie tickets. Adhering to the principle of not wasting money, we went to see a movie and came back right after it ended."

Jiang Fan guessed that Zhong Dashan was worried about Zhong Xueying and immediately explained to him.

Zhong Dashan then took the cigarette handed to him by Jiang Fan and smiled at him gently.

"The young man is quite energetic and not short in stature, but he is a little thin and frail."

"Oh, Dad."

"Okay, okay, I won't say any more. Young man, you must be exhausted from riding all the way. Come inside and have some tea."

Jiang Fan didn't dare to accept Zhong Dashan's invitation.

"No, uncle, maybe next time. Next time I'll bring some good wine and have a couple of drinks with you."

"Good boy, I'm waiting for you, don't make me wait too long." Zhong Dashan's eyes lit up and he laughed brightly.

Chapter 422 Qi Ting Gives Birth

The days that followed were simple, with normal work and life, but Jiang Fan was no longer alone. There was always a bright girl by his side, and the two of them accompanied each other.
