Siheyuan: What bad intentions could a veterinarian like me have?

Chapter 18 What magic does Li Xiangdong have?
"Dad, I want to eat hawthorn! Hey, hey, hey, don't ride so fast, the supply and marketing cooperative is over there!"

"Dad, let's buy some candied fruit. My roommate brought a jar of delicious candied fruit the other day. I want you to buy some for me too! Dad, slow down. We're going the wrong way. Which street do you take to get Wangfujing?"

"Dad, it's Tanghulu! Hurry up, stop the car, stop the car!"

Today, Lin Jun, deputy director of the Sixth Hospital, was on vacation. He left home early in the morning with his daughter Lin Yanqiu and rode his bicycle westward from the staff quarters. He was anxious to see Li Xiangdong, so he pedaled his bicycle hard, but his daughter on the back seat kept talking.

"Okay, okay, let's buy some candied haws. But don't tease me after you buy them. Let's get to Nanluoguxiang quickly. Dad has things to do!" Unable to overcome his daughter's insistence and with his ears almost callused from her nagging, Lin Jun had to brake the car and stopped a peddler who was selling candied haws under a basket of straw on his back.

"Great!" Lin Yanqiu jumped off the bicycle before it stopped. His long legs swung wildly. He quickly arrived in front of the bundle of straw and started selecting them excitedly.

"Uncle, how much is this? We have long strings!" Lin Yanqiu half-closed his beautiful peach blossom eyes, bent over, and calmly looked at the various strings of candied haws on the straw bundles with his hands behind his back.

Lin Jun looked at his daughter who had grown into a big girl, shook his head lovingly, pushed the cart closer, and put one hand in the pocket of his Zhongshan suit, stroking the paper money.

His daughter is good in every way: smart, lively, clever, and smart. She is also a rare beauty.

She is as lively as a little sparrow in front of him, but as cold as an iceberg in front of outsiders. Over the years, as she gets older, this sense of alienation becomes more and more serious, and Lin Jun is very helpless.

"Dad, it smells so good and sweet!" Within two minutes, Lin Yanqiu took a bite of two long strings of candied haws and came to Lin Jun and stretched out his hand, "Dad, two cents!"

Lin Jun was stunned. He heard the price clearly. "Isn't it five cents a string? Two strings is only ten cents!"

"It's easy for the old man to make a living by walking around the streets. It's easier for us to make money than him. Hurry up!"

Lin Jun curled his lips, thinking that it's not easy for your dad to make money, but he still took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it over, then he saw that his daughter had another string of candied haws in her hand.

"Yanqiu, why are you buying it again?" Lin Jun was a little confused.

"Hehe, the old man saw that I was kind-hearted and said that good people will be rewarded, so he gave me another one. Here, Dad, this short one is for you to eat!" Lin Yanqiu patted the back seat of the bike, "You ride the bike and I'll feed you!"

"I won't eat it. I'm already so old, um..."

He said he didn't want to eat it, but when his daughter passed the candied haws to him from behind his head, Lin Jun couldn't help but take a bite. The sweet and sour taste immediately exploded in his mouth, and the hawthorn mixed with sugar swam on the tips of his teeth, immediately evoking his longings in his youth. It melted into his heart like honey, and his whole body became sweet.

"Yanqiu, you are so old already and you will be doing internship soon! Can you be more mature? It's only because your daddy spoils you that your mom won't let you eat these useless things!" Lin Jun was very emotional and unconsciously used family members to pressure his daughter.

"Hmph, no matter how old I am, I am still daddy's sweet cotton-padded jacket! If I don't buy you the candied haws, I don't know if you will ever be able to eat them in your next life!" Lin Yanqiu laughed shrewdly behind him.

Listening to his daughter's hearty and bright laughter, Lin Jun's fatigue from cycling was swept away, and he pedaled with more energy. He felt that bringing his daughter out today seemed to be a good sign, and it would definitely help him get the talent he wanted.

"We're here!" The bicycle entered Nanluoguxiang and soon stopped at the gate of No. 95 Siheyuan. Looking up at the slightly shabby gate, Lin Jun said with emotion: "The person we are looking for is inside!"

"Dad!" Lin Yanqiu was a little confused and asked, "Are you out looking for someone?"

"Of course!" Lin Jun said mysteriously, "This person is definitely a talent! Although Dad has never met him, I believe in his intuition! He will definitely be able to help Dad solve a big problem!"

After saying that, he stepped into the courtyard first. "Do you really have to be so aggressive?" Lin Yanqiu bit the last hawthorn and muttered, "I don't think it will happen!"

Following Lin Jun to the front yard, she saw her father meet a thin figure coming out of the hanging flower gate.

"Hello, comrade. Does Li Xiangdong live in this yard?" Lin Jun asked with a smile.

"Are you looking for my brother Dong?" He Yushui's eyes sparkled. She was a little curious about the two of them. She turned around and glanced at the middle courtyard. "He lives in the main house in the middle courtyard, but he doesn't seem to be at home!"

"Not at home?" Lin Jun babbled, and asked anxiously, "Then do you know where he went?"

Lin Jun looked at the middle courtyard and waited for a long time. Then he realized that the little girl in front of him was paying all her attention to his daughter. He smiled awkwardly, coughed, and asked again: "Comrade, do you know where Li Xiangdong went?"

He Yushui noticed the impoliteness and quickly retracted his gaze, scratching his head and said, "He should have gone to the veterinary clinic, their family's veterinary clinic. What do you want from him?"

"Dad, let's go!" Lin Yanqiu said slowly, his eyes immediately fixed on He Yushui. He casually glanced in the direction of the central courtyard, then retracted his gaze and stood quietly.

"Girl!" Lin Jun was a little anxious at this time, and asked hurriedly: "Can you tell me the address of his veterinary shop? I have something urgent to ask him! It's about the hospital."

He Yushui seemed not to have heard Lin Jun's words. She just stood at the threshold of the hanging flower gate, looking down at Lin Yanqiu. This kind of visual difference would give people a natural sense of oppression.

But she felt that Lin Yanqiu standing in front of her was so beautiful, so dazzling, and otherworldly, like a snow lotus on the Tianshan Mountains that was forever untouched by the worldly world. She just stood there, even though many curious neighbors appeared around her in the front yard, but in her sight, it seemed as if the whole world had disappeared and she was the only one who existed.

A light yellow coat wrapped around her tall and straight figure, with the collar turned up to cover her fair face. Her peach blossom eyes on her cold and beautiful face were indifferent and absent-minded, holding a strong attraction like a black hole.

Standing alone, she is otherworldly and noble, like a fairy walking out of a painting.

Even He Yushui couldn't help but sigh in his heart, what a fairy she is.

Suddenly, a call came from the silent world. She noticed Lin Jun's anxious words, her face suddenly flushed, and she said in a lost tone: "Sorry, I just heard it! You want to find Brother Dong, I'll take you there, I know where he is! You are looking for him to cure diseases and save lives, right?"

"Thank you for your kindness, girl. We have troubled you a lot. It is enough for us to know the address. I have something to ask him. Thank you so much!" Lin Jun said gratefully without explaining his specific purpose.

"Then wait for me for a while, I'll write it for you!" He Yushui panicked for a moment, smiled and ran away quickly. A minute later, she came out of the room and handed the note to Lin Jun anxiously, "This is Brother Dong's address!"

After saying that, she put her hands behind her back delicately, and looked at the two strangers with shyness and curiosity on her blushing face.

"Thank you!" Lin Jun took it gratefully, took a look at it and put it in his pocket. Then he led his daughter out of the yard amid the confused looks around him.

Lin Yanqiu followed slowly and stood under the front gate. He turned around and saw the thin girl holding her head high with pride in her eyes.

"Li Xiangdong...what kind of magic does he have? Why does he make my dad look for him and make this girl so proud?" Lin Yanqiu was stunned, but also couldn't help feeling curious.
