Republic of China: Guandong Ginseng King

Chapter 130 The Chen Brothers
Qu Shaoyang and Chen Xiuyun were in the room, whispering to each other tenderly.

Li went to the kitchen and looked around, finding a lot of food.

During the Little New Year, dumplings must be made.

Qu Shaoyang came all the way here, so he can’t just eat dumplings. We have to prepare a few dishes for him.

This is actually easy. The Chinese New Year is approaching and we have prepared a lot of New Year goods at home. We can just take out some of them and make eight dishes.

After taking a look around the kitchen, Li had an idea in mind. She went to the clinic in front and talked to Doctor Chen.

The main thing was to tell Doctor Chen not to take on too many patients. Who doesn't celebrate the Little New Year? The clerks and the accountant had to take a day off in the afternoon.

Besides, Qu Shaoyang came from afar, so there couldn't be no one at home to accompany him, right? Why did he always ask Chen Xiuyun to accompany him to talk?
Doctor Chen nodded and asked his waiter to go out and tell the people in line.

My home is nearby and I don’t have any particularly urgent symptoms. I’ll just go home and celebrate the holidays and come back another day.

Those who have come from far away and have obvious emergencies can stay and continue to receive medical treatment.

After Doctor Chen came to the county town, he treated several difficult and complicated diseases and cured them all, so he became famous.

Many people with chronic illnesses want to give it a try.

After the guy said that, a few people who were not in a hurry and lived close to home left.

The rest of the people continued to queue there waiting to see the doctor.

After making the arrangements, Li turned around and went back to the backyard.

When she entered the room again, she saw her daughter's face was red and there was a smile between her eyebrows.

As for Qu Shaoyang, his eyes seemed to have hooks as he stared at Chen Xiuyun.

Li is an experienced person. She and Doctor Chen got together because they were in love with each other. Can't she see the childish thoughts?
Li was very happy and quickly changed Qu Shaoyang's cup of tea and chatted with him.

After a while, Doctor Chen finished dealing with the affairs of the clinic and returned to the backyard. He was chatting with Qu Shaoyang while Li's mother and daughter went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Doctor Chen carefully inquired about what happened to Qu Shaoyang after he returned.

When he heard that Qu Shaoyang had bought a large piece of land in Maoer Mountain and hired people to reclaim it, and would farm it in the spring and harvest in the autumn, Doctor Chen was happy for Qu Shaoyang.

After hearing that Qu Shaoyang had gone hunting in the mountains this winter and obtained a lot of meat, skins, and black bear gall, Doctor Chen praised him repeatedly.

"Okay, okay, that's right, you have to live your life like you're living it.

It’s right to buy the land. Don’t think that it is a wasteland. The wasteland in our Northeast is fertile. It will grow if you sow some seeds.

As long as you take good care of it, it will become cultivated land in a few years. With hundreds of acres of land, you can be considered a big landlord."

"I'm not really a landlord, but I'm just a little better off than the average family. I'll just establish myself first, and then we can develop slowly in the future."

Qu Shaoyang felt embarrassed by Doctor Chen's praise.

As the two were talking, there were suddenly footsteps outside, and then a person pushed the door open and came into the room.

"Dad, are you closing down so early today?"

The man walked into the house while talking, and when he entered, he found that there was a young man sitting in the room whom he didn't know.

"Hey, who is this?"

Qu Shaoyang took a look at the person who came and saw that he was in his early twenties and of medium build.

He was wearing a cotton robe, a blue satin lynx fur-lined waistcoat, and an otter-skin hat on his head.

He looks gentle and refined, and you can tell at first glance that he is a cultured person.

Qu Shaoyang guessed that this should be Chen Xiuyun's elder brother, Chen Yunhan, so he quickly stood up to greet him.

"This is the person I always tell you about, our family's benefactor, Qu Shaoyang.

Shaoyang, this is my son Yunhan, Xiuyun's elder brother." Doctor Chen introduced the two with a smile on his face.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yunhan immediately understood Qu Shaoyang's identity and hurried forward to salute. "It turns out that it is Qu Engong who has arrived. Yunhan is here to pay his respects." This salute was a complete bow.

When Qu Shaoyang saw this, he quickly stepped forward and supported Chen Yunhan.

"Brother Chen, there is no need to do this. I was just passing by at the time. It's not a big favor. Please don't do this. It's embarrassing for me."

My goodness, he's so polite as soon as we meet, who can tolerate that?

“Yunhan is twenty-one this year, and you two are of similar age, so there’s no need to be so reserved.

Yunhan, don't bring your academy habits home. You are all young people, don't act like an old man all the time."

Doctor Chen smiled and waved his hand, motioning for the two to sit down and talk.

"These are not outsiders. We can get along like brothers, right, Shao Yang?"

Qu Shaoyang smiled when he heard this, "Yes, Big Brother is three years older than me, so he will be like my real big brother from now on."

He will be my brother-in-law in the future, so we must get along well with each other.

While the three men were drinking tea and chatting in the house, the Li mother and daughter were frying, stir-frying, and cooking in the kitchen. There was a lot of clanging and making a lot of dumplings and eight dishes.

In the winter, most people in Northeast China only eat two meals.

At 5 p.m., all the food was ready. Doctor Chen took his son out to set off firecrackers, and then they started eating.

I was cleaning up and serving the food when I suddenly heard a horse neighing outside, followed by someone knocking on the door.

"Needless to say, this is our idiot back home. Only he can do such a thing. He is like a bandit entering the village when he returns home."

When Mrs. Li heard this, she laughed and quickly asked her eldest son to go out and open the door.

After a while, Chen Yunhan and a tall young man came in from outside.

This kid was half a head taller than Chen Yunhan, with a strong build. He wore a sheepskin coat, sheepskin pants, and a dog-skin hat on his head.

There was white frost on the two earlobes and the front of the hat, and you could tell at a glance that it had been outside for a long time.

"Second brother, let me tell you, this is what our father always said, the savior of our family."

As soon as he entered the room, Chen Yunhan immediately introduced him to his younger brother. "You should call him brother."

The other person glanced at Qu Shaoyang and immediately smiled, revealing a mouthful of big white teeth.

“Brother Qu, I have long heard of your name. My name is Chen Yunzhe, and I am eighteen years old.

The last time I came back, I heard my parents talking about you a lot. Thank you, Brother Qu, for your generosity and helping me save my parents and my little sister’s lives.”

This man has a somewhat rough voice and speaks loudly with great energy.

Chen Yunzhe is the same age as Qu Shaoyang, but his birthday is younger than Qu Shaoyang, so he has to call Qu Shaoyang "brother".

Qu Shaoyang hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted the other party, "No, no, you can call me whatever you want, we are the same age, I am also eighteen."

Qu Shaoyang thought to himself, it doesn’t matter what he calls him, we will all be his uncle in the future, so who told me to fall in love with his girl?

"You're back just in time. We're just about to have dinner. Hurry up, change your clothes, wash your hands, and have a couple of drinks with Shaoyang."

Mrs. Li had just brought up the last two plates of dumplings, so she urged her second son to change his clothes, wash his hands and eat.

Chen Yunzhe nodded at Qu Shaoyang, then turned and walked out.

He came back soon after, having changed out of his clothes, and sat down to eat.

There are only six of us in total, so there is no need to eat separately.

Li heated up a pot of wine, and Doctor Chen and his two fathers accompanied Qu Shaoyang in drinking and eating, while Li and her daughter sat aside, listening to their chat while eating.
