Rebirth after the college entrance examination

Chapter 225 A Phone Call in the Middle of the Night
Xia An had lunch at Le Ning's house, it was like rushing from one place to another.

When Xia An went home to change her clothes, she noticed that Zuo Dashu seemed a little unhappy.

You'll know why once you think about it.

Since New Year's Eve, Xia An has barely spent any time with Xiao Youzi.

Even though Wei Xiaofang reasoned with him, saying that Aunt Lin Jiajia was very good to Xia An and even spent tens of thousands of yuan to give him a camera when he went to college.

Now that others are in trouble, it's only right that he lends a hand.

That makes sense, but as a father, Zuo Dashu was still somewhat annoyed to see his prospective son-in-law neglecting his family and spending all his time with a young widow.

The stifling feeling was immediately dispelled by a box of thatch.

Xia An doesn't like drinking baijiu, especially sauce-flavored baijiu, but Le Yuqun insisted on putting it in his car.

Le Yuqun said that people in officialdom value this: "Even if you have family matters to attend to during the Spring Festival, you will still have to entertain guests. Keeping it on hand means you won't lose face when you encounter a suitable occasion."

Xia An accepted it with a smile.

But he really didn't have any social obligations. Before the New Year, he specifically asked Liu Fei to make a note that he had given all the gifts he should to the officials, but he shouldn't be invited to any of the dinner parties.

Liu Fei said he was still young and there was no need to be so cautious.

Xia An said that it was precisely because he was young that he dared to refuse and not show up.

After taking a shower at home, Xia Kangning and Wei Xiaofang were just getting off work, but only Wei Xiaofang went upstairs.

Xia An, drying her hair, asked, "Where's my dad?"

Wei Xiaofang glared at him irritably: "Isn't it because you got Zuo Dashu some good wine that you insisted on having a couple of drinks with your dad, saying the peanuts were already roasted? I'm not trying to be mean, but stop getting them all this wine. They're not young anymore."

Xia An waved his hand dismissively: "A bottle costs several thousand yuan, it's not worth much."

Wei Xiaofang's eyes widened: "How much?"

Xia An said, "Old Maozi from a cellar, about seven or eight thousand yuan."

Wei Xiaofang took off the apron she had just tied, washed her hands, turned around, put on her shoes, and walked out.

"Go eat up on the mountain."

"What do you mean?"

"I'll go try it too. Didn't you think of saving a couple of bottles for me and your dad?"

"A whole box of them, it wouldn't look good if you opened it."

"You little heartless one."

Wei Xiaofang meant that it would be better if they came to the house and she and Xia Kangning took the initiative to show it off.

Xia An smiled, but before she could speak, the door slammed shut.

Leaning back on the sofa helplessly, watching the sunset paint the living room in orange-red hues, Xia An felt that such busy but fulfilling days were really nice.

It's hard to say whether Zuo You has confirmed whether he has several women outside, but it's possible that Tang Wan, Le Ning, and Lin Jiajia are all involved.

Tang Wan has already brainwashed herself; she no longer causes trouble, and on the contrary, she has a good relationship with Le Ning.

Although Le Ning's little neck is always stiff, she is still doing her job step by step.

Lin Jiajia needs no further explanation.

It seems that the family is harmonious. As long as they don't see the elderly often, the girls playfully fight and try to turn each other against one another, constantly switching sides, which is actually quite endearing.

Sigh, there's not even a battlefield...

……

Tang Wan is in the news.

This time, the provincial TV station sent a film crew to follow the Tangshi Group's listing team south to film a documentary.

The tentative title is reportedly "The Birth of the Post-80s Female Richest Woman".

While watching TV, Lin Jiajia would always glance at him and point at Tang Wan on TV, saying to Grandma Lin, "She's very close to Xia An. Today alone, Xia An made over 100 million from her."

Xia An clicked his tongue twice: "How can you say it was earned from her? It was clearly earned from the stock market."

The old lady watched the young couple bickering with a smile.

Especially her own granddaughter, she looks more and more like she did when she was little.

While watching and listening, I fell asleep without even realizing it.

Xia An turned off the TV, raised an eyebrow at Lin Jiajia and winked, then pulled her along and tiptoed to the west room.

In his arms, Lin Jiajia sighed, "Grandma is sleeping more and more; she's awake for no more than six hours a day."

Xia An comforted her, saying, "It's good that you can sleep, it doesn't hurt."

It's really just pain. When it hurts, pressing the pain pump helps a bit, and then I fall asleep. Old Luo's medicine can keep you alive, but it can't relieve pain.

Lin Jiajia tilted her head up in his arms and said, "My mouth feels bitter today, so I'm not coming, okay? Besides, you can't do that every day, it's bad for your health."

Xia An said, "I just wanted to hug you for a little while so you would know there was someone behind you."

He really didn't lay a hand on her, and Lin Jiajia soon fell asleep comfortably.

Xia An put her in bed and quietly went to the backyard to continue having a drink with Old Man Luo.

Old Luo used several extremely rare and precious medicinal herbs to make two large jars of medicinal wine. The taste was not pungent at all; on the contrary, it was very sweet.

"Honey, I added natural honey, it's for mixing with bear bile."

"They even used bear bile? And they can get fresh that stuff?"

"There are plenty of live bears kept in pharmaceutical factories to extract bile."

"What's the alcohol content of this liquor?"

"Just sip it, and don't exceed two ounces a day, and you'll be fine."

"Did they put the ginseng in too?"

"Two little whiskers, look how stingy you are."

"I'm not stingy, you can do whatever you want, I'm just worried it might be too nourishing."

Old Luo smiled meaningfully, "Judging from your face, haven't you been trying to balance your yin and yang these past few days? That girl Lin is in your room every day, you two aren't just chatting idly, are you?"

Xia An picked up a piece of the old man's pickled cucumber; it was crisp and delicious, perfect with alcohol.

"Well, but nothing like that."

The old man said, "That won't help either; it'll only hurt your health if you keep doing that."

Xia An was speechless. This hurts the body, that hurts the body... Her body was really suffering.

"We can't be too disrespectful to an elderly woman at this stage."

The old man nodded and smacked his lips, saying, "You're quite good at holding it in; that's rare."

Xia An took a sip of wine and said to the old romantic, "Girls can sense your attitude towards them all the time."

The old man didn't respond to that, but instead slurped up a drink and said, "I took the old lady's pulse at noon. In another month or so, she won't be able to absorb the medicine anymore."

Xia An was taken aback.

The inability to absorb the effects of medication means that the organ has completely failed.

Even the wildest and oldest ginseng, hanging on by a thread, is just that—hanging on, and in great pain.

Seeing his bewilderment, the old man reminded him, "Start preparing what needs to be prepared."

Aftermath.

Lin Jiajia couldn't make it to summer. She had been hoping that her grandmother would see the roses bloom in the yard, but she didn't know how heartbroken she would be.

Xia An nodded. "I understand."

Old Luo suddenly asked, "You've been so busy these past few days, how much money have you made?"

Xia An chuckled and said, "Once the first month of the lunar calendar is over, we'll be able to take over the shop we promised you. Zhang has been looking for a place to stay for a while now."

Xiao Zhang, Zhang Tiancheng.

The old man chuckled and said, "I'm not in a hurry, but it would be good to have a proper medical license and save a few more lives."

Xia An laughed and pointed at him, saying, "You're being shy. I'm rich, and my word is my bond."

Finally, Xia An drank two liang (100ml) of liquor, and the old man also drank two liang (100ml).

When Xia An returned to the house, she turned around and saw the old man practicing a horse stance under the eaves, as if he was dispersing the effects of the medicine.

Lin Jiajia, who was in my arms, smelled sweet and was soft. She was clearly asleep, but as soon as I hugged her, she would automatically snuggle into my arms.

The girl is so cute.

At 2:30 a.m., Xia An vaguely felt a vibration in her lower body.

He thought it was Lin Jiajia who had woken up and was secretly rowing, but when he opened his eyes, Lin Jiajia was still in his arms. He reached down and found his phone.

A call came in from an unknown number.

At this time...

After answering the call, I heard a sobbing sound coming from the other end:
"I'm Jin Xiaoxiao, can you do me a favor?"
