Chapter 179 A Corner of the Three Palaces

At this moment, Su Wanqing, who was in the living room, heard Wen Ci's boasting and raised her eyebrows, then sneered, "I wonder if Nurse Wen earns enough money for me to buy a bag."

In the 1980s, foreign luxury goods began to enter the market, and extremely expensive bags became the standard for wealthy people to attend banquets.

"Ok?"

Wen Ci blinked.

Were luxury handbags costing tens of thousands of yuan already available overseas at that time?

Thinking of this, Wen Ci couldn't help but shake his head slightly. He still had to work hard to make money. The lives of the truly rich were just a corner of his own imagination.

Huo Jingyuan's eyes flashed with anger, but he said indifferently, "What does it have to do with you whether my wife earns money or not?"

He didn't want Su Wanqing's words to hurt Wen Ci.

He had witnessed Wen Ci's busy days since returning to the capital, having to get up before dawn to go to the suburban warehouse.

"Brother Jingyuan..."

"Don't call me brother, I don't know you."

The man's voice was extremely cold, and his eyes clearly showed impatience and even disgust, but he was mindful of his elder's feelings.

He didn't say anything harsher.

Wen Ci, who was being protected, smiled. If they weren't in the main hall, she would have liked to kiss him as a reward.

Su Wanqing bit her lip, her face full of grievance. Looking at Huo Jingyuan's handsome face, her grievance gradually turned into shyness.

Blushing, she lowered her head and whispered, "Brother Jingyuan, you're so fierce."

Huo Jingyuan: "..."

Suddenly, Grandma Liu appeared, her face full of a kind smile: "Children, it's time to eat."

The Huo family had a chef to cook for them. The sun was setting in the garden, and the sky was filled with evening clouds. Inside the main hall, the white lamps were lit.

Wen Ci looked at the various dishes on the table. Each dish was presented with exquisite detail, and the soup was a black carp soup for nourishing the body.

“Ah Yuan, your parents wrote a letter saying they might have a holiday this year.” At the dinner table, Grandpa Huo mentioned the letter he had received a few days ago. Huo’s parents worked in a classified unit and wanted to contact their family regularly.

It can only be done by letter.

Each letter needs to go through layers of inspection before it reaches the researcher's family, and it takes at least a month to reach them.

Huo Jingyuan paused, his hand holding the chopsticks still, his expression unchanged: "Oh, let's talk about it when they actually come back."

When he was a child, he received letters with this kind of wording several times, until his parents were unable to come home for the Chinese New Year due to unforeseen circumstances at work.

If you deceive him too often, he'll stop expecting anything.

“They really will come back, saying they will come back to see Aci.”

"understood."

After a long silence, Su Wanqing suddenly spoke up: "Brother Jingyuan, I heard from my mother last night that Dr. Nader is in London. Do you want to go abroad for treatment?"

Nader is a renowned surgeon abroad.

Su Wanqing's mother works as a doctor abroad.

Huo Jingyuan replied, "No need."

He is now a regimental-level cadre, and going abroad requires approval from higher-level leaders at every level, which could potentially affect his future career.

Although domestic hospitals are not as good as those abroad, my injuries have been treated with surgery and I just need to wait for recovery.

"Medical standards are higher abroad."

After thinking for a while, Grandma Liu said, "A-Yuan, why don't you go and take a look? Just think of it as going abroad to visit your aunt."

Huo Jingyuan said helplessly, "Grandma, I am a regimental-level cadre and cannot go abroad at will. Besides, the domestic level is already developing like the international level."

Many high-tech medical devices are already being independently developed by domestic companies, and it may not be long before they are available.

All the equipment in the hospital can then be made in China.
