Chapter 95 Big Brother

Grandpa's health has deteriorated significantly in recent years.

He doesn't perform surgeries himself very often.

However, he had specialist appointments at the city hospital, and when he was young, as the future successor of the Xue family, he would accompany his grandfather to the city hospital for consultations.

It's just that I'm not as clever as my younger brother.

"What time can I visit the patient tomorrow?" Xue Li asked.

"It's only half an hour from 7:00 to 7:30."

"Thank you, Uncle Zhang."

Xue Li thanked her and walked back to Wen Ci, patiently explaining, "Sister-in-law, we've already missed the visiting time today. We can only come at seven o'clock tomorrow. We can't visit after seven-thirty."

"Can't you make an exception? Let me in to see him."

Seeing the worry on Wen Ci's face, Xue Li softened her tone and said gently, "The fact that we can visit him means that Brother Huo is out of danger. He just needs to rest more. We've had a long and tiring journey here, so let's go back and rest. We'll come again tomorrow."

Wen Ci looked at Yu Qing and said calmly, "Then let's go back and take a shower and rest first, and have lunch at the state-run restaurant."

There were no showers on the old-fashioned green train, so they could only wipe their bodies with a cloth. They had only packed their clothes in their haste to leave and hadn't taken a shower for four whole days.

"No."

Before Yu Qing could answer, Xue Li reacted strongly, then looked at Yu Qing, blinked, and said, "Dr. Yu hasn't done what she promised me yet. I'll bring her back tonight."

"what's up?"

Wen Ci narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze sweeping over the two of them as she asked curiously, "What did you two secretly agree to behind my back?"

"No." Yu Qing blushed and said shyly, "I just promised Comrade Xue that I would pretend to be his girlfriend and accompany him back to meet his parents."

"Playing the girlfriend~" Wen Ci's gaze fell on Xue Li, staring intently into his eyes with a probing look, and she teased:
"Since you're meeting the parents, shouldn't Yu Qing go home and take a shower first?"

"Yeah."

Xue Li scratched the back of his head sheepishly.

At this moment, Jiang Chen's car was still parked at the hospital entrance. He had his legs crossed, a mobile phone in his hand held to his ear, and said nonchalantly:
"What does it matter to me whether she comes back or not? The old commander Huo's house hasn't been taken back, so she can still live in the military compound."

As soon as he finished speaking, he listened to the incessant chatter on the other end of the phone, his expression impatient: "No matter what Xiao Yezi says, you've raised her for over twenty years. Just because of a small matter, you're going to disown her like that?"

some days ago.

Su Guilan was furious when she learned that Jiang Ye had gone to the Northwest instead of the capital. Jiang Chen was also severely reprimanded as a result.

She declared that from now on she would pretend she had never raised Jiang Ye as her daughter.

Hearing the shouting on the other end of the phone, Jiang Chen casually made up an excuse: "I can't talk to you anymore, I have to drive. Let's talk when I get home."

Xue Li, ever the friendly type, opened the car door and said with a grin, "Brother-in-law, could you please take me back to the Xue family compound later?"

Suddenly, he noticed the mobile phone his sister-in-law was holding, his eyes widened, and he asked, "Sister-in-law, is this the legendary 'Big Brother' mobile phone?!"

In the 1980s, mobile phones were extremely expensive; the price of one was equivalent to the price of two courtyard houses near the center of Beijing.

Several tens of thousands of yuan.

Jiang Chen waved his hand and said with a smile, "It's nothing to mention."

He looked at Xue Li with a hint of curiosity in his eyes. He had originally thought he was just a common soldier from the Northwest, but he didn't expect his identity to be so unusual.

"Are you Dr. Xue's brother?"

Xue Li: "..."

He had only been away from Beijing for seven or eight years.

How did he go from being the eldest son of the Xue family to the older brother of the young miracle doctor Xue?!
"Are you Xue Chongsui's brother?" Jiang Chen repeated.

Xue Li nodded. The Xue family was a renowned medical family in the capital. During the war, they unconditionally donated their ancestral prescriptions for treating wounds, benefiting countless seriously wounded soldiers.

Now there's another little miracle doctor who's not even ten years old.

"Why did you join the army?" Jiang Chen asked curiously.

After Wen Ci got into the car and overheard their conversation, she could tell from Jiang Chen's ingratiating expression that Xue Li's family status was extraordinary. She leaned closer to Yu Qing and whispered:
"Do you know Xue Li's family?"

Yu Qing nodded: "His family is an extremely powerful medical family. The book on difficult and complicated diseases that you saw in the hospital was written by his grandfather."

Hey!
Wen Ci was somewhat surprised after hearing this.

A doctor who became a book editor in the 1980s.

That's a very important person.

"Old Master Xue has never lost a battle in his life. The fact that Commander Huo was able to save his life this time must be related to Old Master Xue. I agreed to pretend to be his girlfriend in order to meet the old master."

Wen Ci nodded slightly.

She will definitely visit the old man to thank him for saving her life when she has time.

·
The Xue Family Compound and the Military Region Compound share the same route.

Xue Li got out of the car and walked to the back seat. He gestured for Yu Qing to roll down the window and said earnestly, "Dr. Yu, I'll pick you up for lunch."

"Ah."

After confirming the pick-up and drop-off time several times, Xue Li walked resolutely toward the Xue family compound. With each step he took, his steps became increasingly firm, as if he were heading toward death.

The atmosphere inside the car was silent as we drove toward the military compound.

Seeing that there were more and more people in military uniforms around him, Jiang Chen gripped the steering wheel with both hands and said calmly, "Mom wants you to stay at the Jiang family's house."

"No need," Wen Ci refused.

She asked Xue Li: "Has the courtyard of Chief Huo been taken back yet?" The reply was that as long as Huo Jingyuan remained a military officer, the courtyard would not be confiscated.

"Come back or not, it's up to you."

As he spoke, Jiang Chen stepped on the gas, and when they were almost at the entrance of the family compound, he suddenly asked, "How is your sister doing in the Northwest?"

Do I have a younger sister?

"You!" Jiang Chen exhaled, forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart, and lowered his voice, "I just want to ask if Jiang Ye is doing well in the Northwest?"

"I haven't seen it much."

Wen Ci was speaking the truth.

She and Jiang Ye met only a handful of times.

Aside from the time I saw her when she first came to Northwest China, the only other time I saw her was a few days ago when she was on stage leading children in singing the national anthem during a military arts performance tour.

Jiang Chen frowned.

Upon reaching the gate of the residential compound, Jiang Chen stopped and said calmly, "If you're not going home, at least say hello to Mom. She's been thinking about you."

Wen Ci replied indifferently, "We'll talk about it when we have time."

The family compound of the Northwest Military Region is different from that of the family compound of the Beijing Military Region.

The residential compounds in Beijing are filled with lush trees and a green ecosystem, unlike the residential compounds in the northwest where yellow sand covers the ground and there are hardly any green plants.

Wen Ci has an excellent memory. Huo Jingyuan led her through her grandfather's courtyard once, and she was able to remember the way.

Chief Huo's courtyard was not locked, and someone would clean it regularly. Wen Ci slowly pushed open the courtyard gate, and Yu Qing's eyes widened at the sight of the spacious courtyard.
