Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 373 Just do it as you please
"Well, Qiangzi, why don't you stay and have a quick meal?"

Not long after, Zhen Hexiang rushed out of the house in a hurry, and then spoke to Li Guoqiang expectantly to keep him.

"no need!"

Upon hearing this, Li Guoqiang quickly waved his hand and politely declined, "Aunt Zhen, Xiao Huzi just finished acupuncture and needs someone to keep an eye on him. You should take care of him first. I will enjoy your cooking skills when I have the chance in the future."

"That"

Zhen Hexiang was a little disappointed when she heard what Li Guoqiang said, but for Jiang Xiaohu's sake, she nodded and said, "Okay then! Next time, you have to let me treat you well."

After saying that, she stood at the door of her house, watching Li Guoqiang and Wu Cai'e leave together with an uncertain look on her face.

In fact, the main reason why she wanted Li Guoqiang to stay for dinner was to find an opportunity to let Li Guoqiang taste some sweetness and see her sincerity, so as to prevent Li Guoqiang from being less dedicated when helping Jiang Xiaohu with his treatment.

After all, she has waited for so many years, and now she has finally found someone who can truly cure Jiang Xiaohu. How could she let Li Guoqiang slip away from her hands so easily?

In order to ensure that Li Guoqiang can continue to help Jiang Xiaohu cure his illness, she is willing to do anything, even if it means giving up everything.

Just as she was thinking about going to Xiangmi Zhai early tomorrow to invite Li Guoqiang over, Wu Cai'e tried to hold back, but in the end she couldn't help but ask Li Guoqiang: "Hey, Qiangzi, what on earth are you thinking?"

"What do you think?"

Li Guoqiang was slightly stunned, then asked with some confusion.

"that is."

Wu Cai'e frowned, then said unhappily, "It's your Aunt Zhen! Don't tell me you don't know why she asked you to stay for dinner.
I am warning you! Your Aunt Zhen is not like me. Her relationship with her husband has always been pretty good. If you interfere, you will be in big trouble in the future."

"Ouch!"

When Li Guoqiang heard this, he could not help but said speechlessly: "Aunt Wu, who do you think I am? Even if I am greedy, I still have enough food!

The main reason I helped was out of consideration for your sake, and also because I felt that Xiao Hu was a bit pitiful, so I just wanted to help him as much as possible."

"That's good!"

Wu Cai'e was relieved when she saw that Li Guoqiang didn't seem to be lying. She nodded quickly and said, "Your Aunt Zhen has suffered a lot over the years in order to cure Xiao Huzi's illness. We should try our best to help her.

Also, don't feel like you're being at a disadvantage. If you're as greedy as I am, you might have to ask her for help in getting a marriage certificate someday in the future!
If you can help her cure Xiao Huzi's illness, she will find a way to get you a real marriage certificate, let alone a fake one."

"Ah!"

Li Guoqiang was slightly amused after hearing this, and then he laughed and agreed: "That's true!"

In fact, the reason why he wanted to help was also to establish a good relationship with Zhen Hexiang.

After all, with so many female confidantes around him, the department he needs to deal with most often is the Civil Affairs Bureau.

If we can have someone of our own in there, it will undoubtedly be much more convenient in the future.

What's more, he is not a heartless person. Since he has encountered the person and has the ability, there is no harm in lending a hand.

In short, just do it as you please!
Soon, it was the next morning.

As usual, Li Guoqiang rode his tricycle to take Luo Huijuan and Yao Meilan to the textile factory. As soon as he returned to Xiangmizhai, he saw Zhen Hexiang standing at the door waiting for him.

"Qiangzi, you're back!"

When Zhen Hexiang saw Li Guoqiang coming back, her eyes suddenly lit up, and then she hurried forward, smiling softly and spoke.

"Ok!"

Li Guoqiang nodded, then asked in confusion: "Aunt Zhen, why are you here?"

"Forehead"

Zhen Hexiang was slightly embarrassed when she heard this, and then she quickly explained, "Well, I just wanted to come over and ask you when you can give Xiao Huzi acupuncture?"

"Oh!"

When Li Guoqiang heard this, he immediately smiled cheerfully and said, "Didn't we agree on this yesterday? The Yang energy is stronger at noon, which is the best time to give Xiao Huzi acupuncture. So don't worry, I will go there a little earlier."

"I know!"

Zhen Hexiang nodded, then said somewhat embarrassedly: "I'm just a little worried. After all, I haven't given Xiao Huzi any medicine since yesterday. Why don't you take some time to come with me to see him?"

"Row!"

Seeing how worried Zhen Hexiang was, Li Guoqiang thought that he didn't have anything important to do at the moment, so he nodded and agreed immediately: "Then I'll park the car now, and then go back with you to see Xiao Huzi."

After saying that, he rode the tricycle to the side of the store entrance and parked it, then went into the store, said something to Shang Xiuzhen and others, and then rode his bicycle and went to Zhen Hexiang's home with her.

"Big brother, you're here!"

When Jiang Xiaohu saw Li Guoqiang coming, he immediately climbed out of bed and shouted happily.

"Ok!"

Li Guoqiang nodded and agreed quickly, then walked forward slowly, smiled softly and said, "Little Tiger, be good, let me check your body first, okay?"

"it is good!"

Hearing this, Jiang Xiaohu showed no sign of resistance. Instead, he nodded expectantly, then hurriedly lay down on the bed obediently, and by the way, he did not forget to put his little hand in front of Li Guoqiang.

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang felt slightly happy, then gently held Jiang Xiaohu's hand and took his pulse.

As for Zhen Hexiang, she hadn't said a word since Li Guoqiang entered the room, as if she was worried about disturbing Li Guoqiang.

However, from her expression and eyes, it can be seen that she is very nervous at the moment.

After a while, she saw Li Guoqiang loosen his hand, and immediately couldn't help but move forward and ask, "How is it? Is Xiaohuzi in good health?"

"Ok!"

Li Guoqiang nodded upon hearing this, and then said seriously: "For the time being, yesterday's acupuncture treatment was quite effective, but we will have to continue the treatment for a while to know what will happen next."

"That's good, that's good!"

When Zhen Hexiang heard Li Guoqiang say this, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then spoke with joy on her face.

After saying that, she looked at Jiang Xiaohu's excited spirit, hesitated for a moment, and then whispered, "Xiaohu, lie down and rest for a while. I'll go out and talk to big brother."

"Ok!"

Jiang Xiaohu nodded obediently and agreed immediately after hearing this. Li Guoqiang then got up silently and followed Zhen Hexiang out.

"that."

Soon, Zhen Hexiang took Li Guoqiang to the outer room, then turned around and said with gratitude: "Qiangzi, thank you so much this time. If you hadn't woken me up in time and helped to treat Xiaohuzi, if Xiaohuzi had been in any danger, I really don't know what to do."

"Aunt Zhen!"

Li Guoqiang straightened his expression, and then said softly: "You are too polite. Since I have the ability and you trust me, it is my duty to help Xiao Huzi treat his illness. You don't have to take it to heart."

"no!"

Upon hearing this, Zhen Hexiang immediately shook her head seriously and said, "In your opinion, this may be just a piece of cake, but in my opinion, you are our family's great benefactor.

I know you are not the kind of person who does good things for reward, but I would feel really bad if I didn't show any appreciation at all.

Otherwise, just do as I told you before and let me serve you!"

After saying that, she squatted down without waiting for Li Guoqiang to refuse.

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang frowned slightly, then hurriedly took a step back and said in a deep voice: "Wait a minute!"

"What's the matter?"

Zhen Hexiang's body stiffened when she heard this, then she raised her head hastily and asked awkwardly, "Do you dislike me?"

"no!"

Li Guoqiang shook his head, then said seriously: "You are so beautiful, how could I dislike you? I just feel that Xiao Huzi's illness has not been cured yet, and I am unworthy of it.

If you really want to, then wait until Xiao Huzi's illness is completely cured, and then we can talk about this matter again!"

Hearing this, Zhen Hexiang couldn't help feeling surprised. Then, just as she was about to say something, she suddenly understood what Li Guoqiang meant, and she couldn't help feeling warm in her heart.

Because she knew that the reason why Li Guoqiang said this was simply because he didn't want to hurt her self-esteem, but at the same time he didn't want to take advantage of her.

This also made her more convinced that Li Guoqiang could definitely help cure Jiang Xiaohu's illness.

So, she hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed, "Okay, then I'll do as you say. When Xiao Huzi recovers from his illness, I'll take good care of you.

Also, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. Although I work at a marriage registration office, my marriage has long been dead in name only.

If I hadn't been worried about Feng'er and Xiaohuzi, I would have wanted to die long ago.

So you don’t have to feel any psychological burden, I’m doing this voluntarily.”

After saying that, without waiting for Li Guoqiang to ask, she turned around with a sad face and walked into the inner room. It was obvious that she had some past memories that she couldn't bear to recall.

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Wu Cai'e had clearly told him before that Zhen Hexiang and her husband had a pretty good relationship. Why would Zhen Hexiang say that to him now?

Could it be that this is all to make him feel more comfortable accepting the benefits?

After thinking for a while, he still couldn't come up with a more definite answer, so he didn't think about it any further.

Anyway, for the time being, he really has no thoughts about Zhen Hexiang.

On the one hand, it was because Xiao Huzi was quite pitiful and he didn't want to hurt such an innocent child.

On the other hand, it was because he hadn't figured out the specific situation of Zhen Hexiang, and he didn't want to cause himself unnecessary trouble by being confused.

Soon, he said hello to Zhen Hexiang, then rode his bike back to Xiangmi Zhai. At noon, he went back to give Jiang Xiaohu acupuncture treatment.

In response, Zhen Hexiang did not act as nervous as before. She just nodded and agreed, and let Li Guoqiang go, as if she had completely reassured herself about Li Guoqiang's character.

However, after Li Guoqiang left, a hint of worry slowly appeared on her face.

Although Li Guoqiang had spoken very nicely before and had not completely rejected her feelings, she was not a child and naturally knew that such verbal words could not be guaranteed.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have the idea of ​​sacrificing herself so suddenly.

Because she knows that only interest relationships are the most stable and reliable.

Just when she was thinking about whether there was any other way to make Li Guoqiang pay more attention to Xiaohuzi's illness, Xiaohuzi's voice suddenly came to her ears.

"Mom, will big brother come again?"

"Will do!"

Zhen Hexiang was slightly stunned, then nodded quickly and said, "He will definitely come."

"Ok!"

Hearing this, Jiang Xiaohu couldn't help but say with anticipation, "Big brother, the acupuncture made me feel so comfortable. I won't be so tired when I wake up today!"

"Then you must listen to your big brother from now on, so that you can get better faster!"

When Zhen Hexiang heard Jiang Xiaohu say this, she smiled slightly and then spoke softly to coax him.

After she finished speaking, she looked at Jiang Xiaohu who nodded seriously in agreement, and a look of hope appeared on her face. At the same time, she also attached greater importance to Li Guoqiang.

She believed that as long as Li Guoqiang was there, one day he would be able to cure Xiaohuzi's illness completely.

And in fact, this is indeed the case.

However, what she didn't know was that this might take a very long time. At least she would have to wait until Li Guoqiang had upgraded his Chinese medicine and acupuncture skills to L8 or above.

This is also one of the main reasons why Li Guoqiang does not want to get too deeply involved with Zhen Hexiang so quickly.

At present, the best he can do is to help Jiang Xiaohu control his condition to a safer level, but he does not have the ability to completely cure Jiang Xiaohu.

If it were really that simple, then Zhen Hexiang would not have been unable to find a doctor who was confident enough to treat Jiang Xiaohu.

Soon, it was noon in the blink of an eye.

At the agreed time, Li Guoqiang rushed from Xiangmi Zhai to Zhen Hexiang's home and gave Jiang Xiaohu an acupuncture treatment.

Afterwards, after confirming that Jiang Xiaohu's condition was gradually improving, he did not stay for long and hurriedly said goodbye and returned to Xiangmi Zhai, where he happened to meet Sister Zhang who came to announce the good news.
