The sky collapsed, and in the blink of an eye, I found myself transported to Nanluoguxiang.

Seeing this scene, Li Mingde, the father, felt even more proud.

At this moment, Station Chief Zhao spoke up again:

"Kaixin, the ginseng I gave you last time was the last one. I wonder what about my old man's..."

After he gave his father the medicine a few times that day, the old man's complexion visibly improved.

"Stationmaster, Grandpa Liu promised to give Grandpa Zhao a ginseng root, so you don't need to worry about it," Li Kaixin replied.

"That's good, that's good."

Station Chief Zhao was finally relieved, his tone tinged with emotion:

"Thanks to your medicine, my old man's health has improved a lot these past few days. I was just wondering where to find more ginseng, but the old commander solved the problem for me first."

"Stationmaster, that's all because Grandpa Zhao has a good constitution. My medicine just helps to improve his physical condition."

Li Kaixin said modestly, then looked around, "By the way, didn't you say Uncle Xie came with you? Where is he?"

"You mean him? I don't know either."

Station Chief Zhao shook his head. "When I called him, he said he was coming with his old man and told me to go ahead."

As they were talking, Liu Jianming walked over with a big smile: "Uncle Zhao, Uncle Hong, Uncle Li, Uncle Chen, Uncle Mingde, what are you all talking about? It's so lively!"

"Jianming, what brings you here?" Station Chief Zhao turned to look at him.

Chen Guoqiang and Hong Haoran also looked over.

Liu Jianming chuckled and said generously, "Uncles and elders, Kaixin is a young man. I'll take him to meet some friends his own age. You don't have any objections, do you?"

After hearing this, Station Chief Zhao waved his hand and said, "Go on, go on, there's nothing wrong here."

Hong Haoran and Chen Guoqiang nodded with smiles on their faces.

Since we've already talked about everything we needed to, it's a good opportunity for my child to get to know Li Kaixin better.

The father, Li Mingde, even stood up and gently nudged his eldest son.

Li Kaixin felt somewhat helpless. He gave Station Chief Zhao and the others an apologetic look before following Liu Jianming.

They hadn't walked more than a few steps when Liu Jianming put his arm around Li Kaixin's shoulder and whispered:

"Kaixin, you're really something! My grandpa and those old men usually beat people up at the drop of a hat, but they're talking to you so calmly today. I've really seen something new."

"Really? Jianming?" Li Kaixin feigned disbelief. "The old men all seemed quite kind to me."

"Of course it's true!" Liu Jianming eagerly proved, "Take my old man for example, my dad, my uncle, which one of them hasn't been beaten by him until they were screaming? You don't know what happened back then..."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Li Kaixin, but the words caught in his throat.

Li Kaixin was staring at him with a half-smile.

Liu Jianming immediately realized what was happening and tightened his grip: "Kaixin, you little rascal, were you trying to trick me into telling you something?"

"Brother Jianming! I don't understand what you're saying!"

Li Kaixin looked completely innocent. "All I know is that if you don't loosen your grip, this matter will inevitably reach Uncle Liu's ears."

"No, no! I was just joking with you!" Liu Jianming immediately let go, a fawning smile plastered on his face.

If this gets back to his father and uncle, they'll probably give him a double beating.

Thinking about this, he really wanted to slap himself. How could he be so unable to control his mouth!

Just as Liu Jianming was feeling frustrated, the two had already walked to the other side of the courtyard.

A dozen or so young people, men and women, were drinking tea and chatting around a stone table.

"Brother Jianming!" A sharp-eyed young man with a buzz cut stood up first. "Is this the Kaixin brother you were talking about?"

Hearing the sound, everyone in their seats looked over.

"Of course!"

Liu Jianming smiled and put his arm around Li Kaixin again, "Kaixin, these are all my brothers and sisters who grew up with me. Hong Guozhang from Uncle Hong's family, Chen Weidong from Uncle Chen's family, and..."

Liu Jianming introduced them one by one, and Li Kaixin nodded and greeted them with a smile.

After going around the room, Li Kaixin realized that apart from herself, no one else present had a simple background; their parents were almost all cadres at the division level or above.

Fortunately, none of these people gave him a hard time; they were all quite polite.

"Brother Kaixin, I've heard all about your deeds." Hong Guozhang smiled and handed over a cup of tea. "After your report, my dad even told me to learn from you."

"Brother Guozhang, I can't accept that."

Li Kaixin smiled and accepted the tea. "That report was exaggerated. I'm just a driver; there's nothing I can learn from it."

"Pfft!"

The girl next to her, Ye Ling, burst out laughing. "You're quite interesting. Everyone else is eager to pat themselves on the back, but you're deliberately belittling yourself."

"Lingling! What's wrong with you? Apologize to Kaixin right now!" Liu Jianming said sternly from the side.

"No way!" Ye Ling made a face at her cousin, then turned to look at Li Kaixin with a sly look in her eyes:

"Little... Happy, do you think what your sister said was right?"

Li Kaixin was immediately embarrassed; he had been teased by a young girl.

Hong Guozhang and the others wanted to laugh at the scene, but out of respect for Liu Jianming, they all held back their laughter until their faces turned red.

Thinking to himself: This is another brother who has been manipulated by this girl.

Liu Jianming, feeling embarrassed, quickly tried to smooth things over: "Of course I'm happy. My cousin is always like this, so please don't take it to heart."

"It's alright, Jianming!" Li Kaixin waved his hand, his expression returning to normal.

Seeing this, Hong Guozhang also helped to change the subject: "Kaixin, I heard from Jianming that your medical skills are also very good, is that true?"

"It's alright!" This time, Li Kaixin was smarter and dared not be overly modest.

After saying that, he couldn't help but glance at Ye Ling.

Ye Ling noticed Li Kaixin's little actions and was about to tease him a bit more.

Suddenly, hurried footsteps and faint sobbing came from outside the courtyard gate.

The people in the courtyard all stopped talking and looked towards the entrance.

A young man dressed as a guard rushed in, anxiously shouting, "Is there a medic here? Commander Chen has fainted!"

"What!" The one with the strongest reaction was Old Master Liu.

He suddenly stood up, turned to another guard behind him, and ordered, "Quickly, call Dr. Xu over here!"

Immediately afterwards, the old men all rushed out.

Looking at the situation outside, Ye Ling couldn't help but say, "Hey Kaixin, didn't you just say your medical skills were pretty good? Could you go take a look?"

Li Kaixin was a little surprised, but she didn't hesitate for long and ran outside.

Liu Jianming and the others exchanged glances and followed.
