Siheyuan: How dare I mess with a man who is an expert in men's health?

Cao Anping returned to the gate of No. 95 Courtyard and saw Yan Bugui stopping two people and talking about something.

He felt that the two men's backs looked familiar. Yan Bugui also saw Cao Anping and waved to him:

"Doctor Cao, you're back? These two people said they were Qin Huairu's parents and they were looking for you."

Qin Dafeng turned around after hearing this and saw Cao Anping with a look of disbelief. It had only been a month, but Cao Anping had changed a lot from how he used to be in the village.

He was wearing new and neat clothes and pushing a bicycle. He looked much stronger and his skin was better. Compared with the skinny boy he was in the village, he was like a completely different person.

Cao Anping saw that it was Qin Dafeng and his wife, and greeted them happily: "It turned out to be Uncle Dafeng and Auntie. You are here to see Sister Qin, right? Why didn't you go in?"

Qin Dafeng replied somewhat awkwardly: "This uncle didn't know us, so he asked a few more questions."

Cao Anping asked in confusion: "Sister Qin has been here for several years, how come Teacher Yan doesn't know her?"

He thought that this old guy might want to take advantage of others just because he saw them carrying things. That would be a bit too much.

Yan Bugui curled his lips and could only force a smile and replied, "This is really the first time I've seen you, so of course I have to ask a few more questions."

Qin Dafeng felt a little embarrassed when he saw that the two wanted to discuss this matter further, as it was his first time to come to Courtyard No. 95.

So he quickly interrupted and said, "Anping, you have changed a lot. Our Qinjia Village has produced a talent. I almost didn't recognize you.

The villagers only learned in recent days that you were recognized as a national advanced worker, and everyone is happy for you.

They knew I was going to the city, but they asked me to bring you a gift."

Qin Dafeng took out a small cloth bag from the basket, which looked like it should contain a few eggs.

Cao Anping did not refuse the kindness of the villagers. He was about to pick up the eggs, but unexpectedly Qin Dafeng gave him the basket and said with a smile:

"The things in the basket are the gifts. These four eggs are what I brought for Huairu.

The gifts for you are from each family, they are not many, please don’t despise them.”

Cao Anping was quite touched. He opened the box and took a look. There were several kilograms of coarse grains, more than twenty eggs, and dried vegetables such as wood ear mushrooms.

Although it might not seem like much if shared among dozens of households in Qinjia Village, this was a year of disaster, and sending so much food was indeed a generous gift.

He didn't act pretentiously. He accepted the gift and would thank the owner in return when he returned to the village.

Cao Anping said gratefully: "Thank you, Uncle Dafeng. I accept the kindness of the elders in the village. I will thank them when I return."

Qin Dafeng smiled naively and said, "Why thank me? We are from the same village. Go back. Dashan asked me to tell you something.

He said that when you have made it big, you should remember to go back to the village and tell your grandfather the good news. He will be very happy in heaven."

Cao Anping naturally agreed readily, as he had originally planned to go back this Sunday.

He had decided to go back every month to clean the houses and see the villagers, but he never forgot.

Yan Bugui stood on tiptoe to look into Cao Anping's basket and said, "These are all good things. Congratulations to Dr. Cao."

Cao Anping was too lazy to pay attention to him and invited Qin Dafeng: "Uncle Dafeng, Auntie, it's cold outside, come into the yard and have dinner at my place tonight."

Qin Dafeng shook his head and said, "Anping, you don't have to bother, let's go see Huairu first."

Cao Anping nodded. It was hard to say whether the Jia family would have anything to treat you. He could only settle for the next best thing:

"Okay, it's time for your two families to get together. Then come back to my place for a drink later. I'll prepare some snacks for you."

Qin Dafeng swallowed his saliva and could only say vaguely: "Then... let's talk about it later."

Cao Anping did not try to persuade them any further, as he could see that both of them seemed to be worried.

Aunt Qin just nodded to Cao Anping and didn't say anything. She looked sad. She was not like this before.

He led the two of them to the central courtyard, leaving Yan Bugui looking at the basket hanging on Cao Anping's handlebars with a resentful look on his face. Cao Anping was not as easy to talk to as Xu Damao, and he would not be persuaded by any persuasion.

Arriving at the gate of Jia's house, Jia Zhang saw Cao Anping leading two people towards her house and asked vigilantly, "Cao Anping, what do you want to do?"

Cao Anping said unhappily, "Didn't you see that Sister Huairu's parents came to see her? Your in-laws are here, why don't you go and greet them?"

Jia Zhang asked suspiciously, "Are you Huairu's parents?"

Cao Anping was a little bit unbelievable. This grandson was already six or seven years old, and he didn’t even recognize his in-laws?

This Jia Zhang family really looks down on rural people. Have the two families not had any contact in several years?

But if you think about it, it seems to make sense in this era. When proposing a marriage, a matchmaker is hired, and the girl's parents may not attend the wedding banquet.

Qin Dafeng nodded with a flushed face. At that time, he thought that his daughter would enjoy a good life if she married into the city. Later, he found that it was not the case. However, there was no way to regret it.

The most embarrassing thing is that when the daughter comes back to the village she has to say that she is living a good life, and they have to play along with her in the act.

Jia Zhang was not embarrassed at all. She shouted into the room, "Huairu, come out quickly. Your parents are here."

Qin Huairu was cooking and was a little confused when she heard this. Her parents had never come to the courtyard before, and if there was anything, they would ask her eldest brother to run errands. Could something have happened at home?

When she went out and saw people, she shouted excitedly, "Mom and Dad, why are you here? Did something happen at home?"

Qin Dafeng handed the cloth bag to Qin Huairu and replied, "It's okay. I'll bring your mother here for a checkup and come to see you. These are the only eggs we have at home. You can give them to the child."

Qin Huairu took it subconsciously and asked nervously, "What's wrong with mom? Are the results of the examination out?"

While Qin Huairu wasn't paying attention, Jia Zhang took the bag and opened it, muttering:

"There are five people in our family and we only have four eggs. There is no share for me."

Qin Dafeng didn't look very happy. He said that there were only a few eggs at home. This relative-in-law was just slapping him in the face.

He was now very glad that he had not dealt with this relative for so many years. It was really infuriating. At this moment, the image of city people was greatly reduced in his mind.

If it was in the village, he would have taken action, but now he held back and didn't say anything more. He really didn't want to embarrass his daughter, so he could only pretend he didn't hear it and explained to Qin Huairu:

"Your mother is fine. She's pregnant, but the doctor we found in the village isn't sure. He said she's too old, so we need to go to a city hospital to see if she can have a baby."

Qin Dafeng didn't feel embarrassed and said it frankly. In that era, childbirth was encouraged and it was very common for the eldest son and the youngest son to have a difference of more than 20 years, especially in rural areas.

Cao Anping was originally preparing to leave quietly, but he was shocked after hearing this. He didn't expect that his aunt looked so sad because she was pregnant.

But it's understandable if you think about it. In rural areas, women generally don't abort pregnancies at this time. But the economic situation is bad now, and she is older, so her worry is understandable.

Qin Huairu was also a little surprised. She looked at the people around her and quickly said, "Let's go into the house first and talk about it. Don't let Mom get cold."
