Joyful Youth: Many Children, Many Blessings, Starting with Song Qian

"Our Nan Nan's special care ward was arranged with just one word from Hong Dou's boyfriend. She's been staying there ever since and hasn't asked us for a single penny!"

After Chen Nanxing's mother finished speaking,

Suddenly, she couldn't help but cry: "Oh dear, what kind of situation is this? Our Nanxing clearly had a bright future, how did it come to the point where he has to be forced into a ghost marriage? Nan Nan's dad, you are really heartless!"

Upon hearing this, Uncle Xiong and Aunt Li's expressions immediately changed.

Upon seeing this, Chen Nanxing's father quickly put on an apologetic smile, first apologizing to Xiong Tao's parents across the street, and then...

Chen Nanxing's father then grabbed Chen Nanxing's mother's hands and said, "Alright, alright, don't cry anymore. We'll let Nanxing see it later!"

"I know this is wrong, but we have no other choice!"

"Although Hongdou's boyfriend paid for Nanxing's hospitalization and medication, we still can't afford the other expenses. Hundreds of thousands of yuan have been spent like this. We're using money to prolong Nannan's life!"

“Nan Nan’s mother, you know our situation better than I do. We’ve sold everything we could, and all we have left is that old house. Nan Nan’s follow-up treatment will cost money, but we can’t sell our house for a good price. Even if we sell it at a loss, we can only raise a little over 100,000 yuan…”

"If we really spend all this money, where will we live? And if Nan Nan is still alive, where will we get the money?! We're both just working people, we don't have social security or pensions, how will we take care of ourselves in our old age?"

"Brother Xiong said that as long as they take a liking to Nannan, they'll give us 600,000 yuan on the condition that Nannan be arranged for a ghost marriage after her death. That's already very generous..."

"Honestly, 230 is enough for Nan Nan to live on for another year or two. If we can save a little bit later, the two of us old folks can support ourselves for the rest of our lives. Nan Nan's mom, I've made myself perfectly clear. You can't cry anymore, you hear me?"

After Nan Nan's father finished speaking, he put on a stern face, ready to scold Nan Nan's mother.

Uncle Xiong, who had been sitting across from me without saying a word, sighed and said, "To be honest, I really like Nanxing. It's just a pity that we are destined to be apart. We can't be family while we're alive, so we can only reunite when we die."

"How about this, Nanxing's father, as long as you and Nanxing's mother sign a contract with us, guaranteeing that the ghost marriage ceremony with Taotao will be completed after Nanxing passes away, I will give you an additional 200,000 yuan, making it a total of 800,000 yuan, is that okay?"

"I'm giving you this extra 200,000 in the hope that Nanxing can live a little longer and fulfill her unfulfilled wishes."

After Uncle Xiong finished speaking, he looked at Chen Nanxing's parents, waiting for their reply.

Chen Nanxing's father bit his lip tightly, his right hand trembling slightly.

After a while,

Chen Nanxing's father, however, couldn't make up his mind. He could only force a smile that looked more like a grimace and said, "Brother Xiong, please let me think about it some more, please, let me think about it some more..."

Chapter 428 Is this a ghost marriage arranged for Chen Nanxing?! (Begging for flowers, monthly tickets, and ratings!)

In the small shop next to the cafe,

After spending three yuan on a bottle of mineral water, Chen Nanxing angrily dialed Xu Hongdou's number: "Xu Hongdou! Why aren't you here yet?! I've been waiting for you for over ten minutes, why aren't you here yet?!"

"Miss!"

In the taxi, Xu Hongdou looked at the congested traffic and said helplessly, "Traffic jam, sis! And you're at the zoo, okay?! You don't know how long it takes to get from the hospital to the zoo?!"

Chen Nanxing snorted in dissatisfaction: "Hmph, I just don't know why you're still late even after I begged you to save me. You might as well have called Qin Feng!"

Xu Hongdou rolled her eyes speechlessly: "Qin Feng, Qin Feng, it's all Qin Feng! Chen Nanxing, have you learned this now? You only know to turn to Qin Feng when you encounter problems?! By the way, you still haven't told me what happened? Why do you need to ask me for help in an emergency?!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Nanxing smiled helplessly: "Hey, it's really annoying, you know? My parents came to the capital yesterday and said they would take me to the zoo today. I thought to myself, I'm not a child anymore, why would I go to the zoo? But then I thought that my parents don't seem to have been to the zoo much, so we came!"

"Red Bean, you have no idea! My mom was even happier than me when she saw those little animals. She's over sixty years old, but she's acting like a little girl, even asking me to take pictures of her, and insisting they be beautiful! I'm telling you, I've never seen my mom like this before, really…々～ ..."

Upon hearing this, Xu Hongdou rolled her eyes speechlessly and said in an extremely serious tone, "Chen Nanxing, can you get to the point first before saying anything else?!"

"Yes, yes, don't worry, let me finish."

Chen Nanxing nodded and continued, "Then, my dad, my mom, and I squeezed in with a bunch of kids to go to the zoo. We walked for over an hour, and I was really tired, you know? But my mom was really happy, and I hadn't seen her so happy in a long time, so I stayed with her and kept walking!"

"Then, my mom, an old lady in her sixties, actually wanted to eat cotton candy and red beans. Guess how much a cotton candy costs at the zoo?"

Xu Hongdou had nothing to say and simply shook her head: "I'm not guessing, Chen Nanxing, just tell me the important thing!"

"Don't worry, don't worry, we'll be there soon!"

Chen Nanxing responded and then continued, "Fifty! Fifty! Red Bean, one cotton candy costs fifty! I was stunned when I heard the price, but my dad actually turned into a doting husband and bought it for my mom. The two of them were showing off their love and completely ignored me, their fellow patient!"

"Then, my mom wanted to see the giant pandas, Hongdou. You know how crowded the panda area is? You have to wait in line for over an hour. I was exhausted, so I went to find a seat. But my dad shamelessly cut in line with my mom and acted like they were old people, and then the two of them went to see the pandas..."

Chen Nanxing kept talking.

Xu Hongdou held it to her ear and listened.

however,

Xu Hongdou's phone was a bit loud.

The driver couldn't help but turn around and glance at her twice, then jokingly asked, "Young lady, is your friend from the Tianjin Deyun Society? He's such a chatterbox! I haven't heard a thing!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Hongdou smiled and shook her head: "No, Master, she sings Huagu Opera."

"No, no."

The driver immediately shook his head: "Young lady, don't try to fool me. Opera singers don't talk so much. Only crosstalk performers can learn from her. No one else can compare!"

"Hahaha."

Xu Hongdou laughed heartily at the driver's words.

At this moment on the phone,

Chen Nanxing asked with great dissatisfaction, "Xu Hongdou, are you even listening to me?"

Xu Hongdou said with a smile, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was just chatting with the driver. What did you say?"

"Can you believe it?! My parents actually brought me here for a blind date!"

A blind date?!

Xu Hongdou was stunned upon hearing this, then asked in confusion, "Nannan, really? Your parents brought you to the zoo for a blind date?!"

"Really! The man's parents have arrived and are in the coffee shop. When I first saw them, I was completely surprised. After my mom told me it was a blind date for me, you wouldn't believe my expression—I almost spat out blood!"

"What's wrong with Uncle and Aunt?"

Xu Hongdou shook her head and asked suspiciously, "Your aunt and uncle clearly know your situation, so why did they arrange for you to come on a blind date?"

Chen Nanxing nodded in agreement: "Yeah, Hongdou, they all know my illness is incurable. I can only live for another two years at most. They brought me here for blind dates, aren't they just harming me? Ugh... damn it."

Xu Hongdou responded and then asked, "Nannan, have you told the boy's parents about your situation? Don't they know?"

Chen Nanxing thought for a moment, then nodded: "They probably know that I took off my hat and wig to refuse the blind date, showing them my bald head, but they didn't seem too surprised..."

"Besides, Hongdou, the way the groom's mother looked at me made me a little uneasy, so Hongdou, you'd better come and keep me company..."

.......

Chapter 429 Xu Hongdou's Tears! (Begging for flowers, monthly tickets, and ratings!)

"I know, I know."

Hearing Chen Nanxing's plea, Xu Hongdou quickly responded twice, checked her phone, and then said, "There are still more than ten minutes left. Just bear with it, I'll be there to save you soon."

Upon hearing this, Chen Nanxing looked utterly disappointed: "It'll be another ten minutes or so, Hongdou, can you hurry up? I'm so bored. I made up an excuse to go buy some mineral water before leaving, but it's not good to stay away for too long, after all, my parents are still inside."

"Know, know."

Xu Hongdou responded and then looked at the driver and said, "Sir, please drive faster."

The driver nodded and asked with a smile, "Miss, are you going to rescue someone? Actually, I personally think there's nothing wrong with blind dates. Besides, with your friend's personality, he's like a comedian who's missing a straight man."

"If she can find a good partner this time, they can start a business together as a couple. In a few years, they might even be able to take down Deyun Society. Hahaha, how great would that be?"

The driver's words left Xu 230 Hongdou speechless; she could only smile and shake her head.

Seeing this, the driver continued, "Really, young lady, it's rare to see a girl as eloquent as her these days. She's a treasure no matter where she is. If she were in sales, she would at least be the company's top salesperson!"

"Ha ha?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Hongdou laughed and said, "Master, you're absolutely right. Before Nan Nan got sick, she really was a salesperson and even won several sales championships."

The driver smiled and nodded: "See, I told you so. Even though I'm just a taxi driver, I'm very good at judging people. For example, young lady, I can tell at a glance that you must have a very rich and doting boyfriend."

Xu Hongdou was taken aback for a moment, then asked with interest, "Master, why do you say that?"

"Because you're too good-looking!"

The driver chuckled: "Besides, most beautiful women's best friends are also beautiful, so your best friend who does stand-up comedy must be very good-looking, with both looks and eloquence. It would be a real shame if she didn't go on a blind date. These days, blind dates are more reliable than finding someone on your own."

“Girl, listen to me. Your parents are always more reliable than you. After all, they think about life and the future, while most people your age are only thinking about love.”

"Ok."

Xu Hongdou laughed and responded, then said into the phone, "Nannan, did you hear that? The driver said you're from Deyun Society, so you should find a straight man, haha."

Upon hearing this, Chen Nanxing's face darkened, and she shouted into the phone, "Hongdou, then tell him that I have cancer and am about to die, and ask him if I should go on blind dates?!"

Chen Nanxing's voice was very loud.

The driver next to him heard everything clearly.

then,

The driver's expression immediately changed, and he looked at Xu Hongdou seriously, asking, "Miss, is this true or false? You kids these days are all so outspoken, cursing yourselves all the time. That's not good..."

Upon hearing this, Xu Hongdou was finally brought back to reality, and with a sorrowful expression, she slowly nodded: "It's true, Master, Nan Nan has pancreatic cancer, and it's in its late stage."

The driver suddenly slammed on the brakes.
