Chapter 162 Gloating over misfortune
The two grown men strolled and chatted, and when they realized it was almost time, they carried a bunch of things back to the hospital to check the results.
As soon as Du Hongxue entered Zuo Renxin's office, he relaxed. His mother and father-in-law were looking at the results.
Indeed, when Zuo Renxin saw Mu Xudong, he smiled and said, "Director Mu, don't worry, there's nothing serious. Your lung examination showed a small shadow, which is mainly caused by lung inflammation due to infection by pathogens such as bacteria and viruses. I've prescribed some medicine for you."
After you finish taking these medications, go to the county hospital for a follow-up examination and an X-ray. The shadow should be gone by then. Contact us anytime if you have any questions.
You should pay attention to rest, avoid fatigue, eat a light diet, and avoid spicy foods, shellfish, and other stimulants. Also, and very importantly, you must not smoke or drink alcohol.
Mu Xudong listened attentively, his face crinkling with laughter. "Really? That's good, that's good... Hahaha, thank you all, I can finally relax."
"Uncle Mu, remember, quit drinking and smoking. Don't worry, I'll not only tell Auntie, but also Tingnan, so that 'little firecracker' can keep an eye on you, hahaha." Du Hongxue rubbed his shoulders beside him, thinking back to that night in the threshing ground, how many times had he been thrown over the shoulder? And there were those blatant threats. Now, he thought to himself, finally someone is treating him the same way.
"You little rascal, why do I get the feeling you're gloating a bit?" Mu Xudong felt relieved and was in the mood to joke with Du Hongxue. "Also, you guys always call my wife 'Auntie, Auntie,' how affectionate! Does that make me 'Uncle Mu'? It's making us seem less like a couple!"
"Hahaha... Hongxue, you didn't study Chinese well. You've been scolded a lot because of this title. He even made Tingnan call him 'Little Uncle,' thinking he'd be on the same level as his father!" Zuo Renxin laughed heartily.
"I was wrong, I was wrong, Uncle, Uncle." Du Hongxue, the slippery one, immediately admitted his mistake and then said to Li Yan, "Mom, why don't you, or my mother-in-law, become sworn brothers with our aunt?"
"Either is fine, I'd like to meet your aunt too," Li Yan said with a smile.
"Mom, that's easy. When Pinyu is a little older, I'll take you to visit your aunt. After all, she's the sister I gave you through my own efforts."
"Great! You're welcome to visit our county anytime." Feeling refreshed and full of energy, Mu Xudong was a completely different person from last night.
Mu Xudong's checkup showed no major problems, which made everyone happy. As the saying goes, "If you have nothing to worry about, then every day is a good day!" They gathered together again for a meal that evening.
Du Hongxue gave Gao Haoran his return ticket and asked for the fare from his trip there, but was scolded, "Do we need to be so calculating? Just take good care of Xiaoyue."
Okay, Uncle Huo is much more authoritative than his uncle, so Du Hongxue obediently shut up and handed over a bunch of gifts, begging to accept them and take them back. Gao Haoran didn't refuse; he had good taste, and the thermos cups and leather shoes he and Song Wanli brought were quite nice.
After returning, Mu Xudong lived a very disciplined life, abstaining from smoking and drinking, and exercising regularly. Although it was a false alarm, it reminded him to cherish life, as health is the foundation of everything. Gao Haoran asked Ting Nan to teach him Wing Chun; while he might not be able to defeat several men, it would definitely improve his health. Grandpa Mu and Jiang Qianqian also started practicing.
Song Tingnan continued to go to school alone, no longer interacting with Rou Rou and Hua Hua. They weren't the same kind of people, and too much interaction would inevitably lead to unnecessary complications.
Of course, Tang Rourou and the others ignored the ten-year-old prodigy; there was no threat between them. As for Zhong Shengli, he continued to observe silently…
On Friday, as soon as get out of class ended, Ting Nan rushed out of the classroom to go to another store to buy some goods, which her classmates were used to.
The purchase went very smoothly. Li Yang's wife, Xu Wen, had already negotiated the purchase price as an intermediary. Ting Nan picked up the goods directly, as she needed to catch the last bus back to Songjia Village.
Tingnan squeezed onto the bus, and the ticket seller auntie at the back door waved to her, "Tingnan, sit here, I have to go sell tickets." The driver and ticket seller on this bus were all familiar with Tingnan and knew that she would go to buy goods and rush home after school on Fridays, and sometimes they would wait for her.
"Thank you, Auntie!" Ting Nan didn't refuse her aunt's kindness; running all the way was quite a workout.
