Chapter 352: For Safety's Purpose
[How could this happen? ]
Just now, when Li Guoqiang was taking Luo Guofu's pulse, he not only found that Luo Guofu was very weak, but also found that he showed some signs of infertility.
To know whether this is true or not, you need to go to the hospital for scientific testing.
Even so, this was enough to make Li Guoqiang feel a little tricky.
After all, Luo Jiwu had gone through a lot of trouble in order to carry on the Luo family's incense.
If Luo Jiwu knew that Luo Guofu was infertile, he would be furious!
Therefore, he did not tell this matter in front of Luo Guofu.
He couldn't even tell Yao Meilan and Luo Huijuan to avoid making them worry.
For now, he could only try to prepare some medicated food for Luo Guofu and then give him acupuncture.
If it really doesn't work, then he can only wait for three to five years until his Chinese medicine and acupuncture skills are upgraded to L7 or L8.
In fact, even if he improved his skills in traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture, he was not absolutely sure that he could cure Luo Guofu's body.
After all, not everyone can be cured of this disease in the 21st century.
But, then again, Luo Guofu is a big and strong man, so how could he have such a problem?
After thinking for a while, Li Guoqiang still couldn't figure out the reason. In the end, he could only shake his head and attributed the reason to his personal physique.
Immediately afterwards, he did not stay outside the post office, but rode his tricycle to the textile factory to pick up Yao Meilan and Luo Huijuan, and then went to Xiangmizhai to pick up Shang Xiuzhen and others.
Since Xiangmi Zhai had been handed over to Zhou Mingyu, Shang Xiuzhen and others did not wait until dark to get off work as usual. Instead, they packed their personal belongings early according to the working hours stipulated by Sijiu City and waited at the door of Xiangmi Zhai.
As for Xu Yuchang and others, they calculated the exact time to get off work, closed the store directly, and then walked towards the nearby restaurants in groups of three or five, arm in arm.
When Zhou Mingyu and his three men saw this, their faces instantly turned very ugly.
Because Xu Yuchang and others did this, it was obvious that they did not take them seriously.
However, even so, they could not do anything to Xu Yuchang and others.
After all, Xu Yuchang and others are formal employees of Xiangmizhai. As long as Xiangmizhai does not go bankrupt and as long as Xu Yuchang and others do not commit any principled mistakes, they cannot dismiss Xu Yuchang and others.
Helplessly, they could only watch Xu Yuchang and others slowly walk away.
Afterwards, before they could figure out what to do next, they saw Li Guoqiang riding a tricycle slowly coming over on the street.
Immediately afterwards, Shang Xiuzhen and others who were waiting at the door climbed onto the tricycle one after another, just like they were getting on a bus, and they were seated in a short while.
Seeing this, Li Guoqiang didn't say anything. He just waved to Zhou Mingyu and rode away on his tricycle.
When Zhou Mingyu saw this situation, he was immediately furious.
After all, he is a section chief, and now he is the person in charge of Xiangmi Zhai. How can you disrespect him like this?
He was thinking that if Li Guoqiang could cooperate well, he would ask Qian Weiguo to let Li Guoqiang stay and be his assistant!
Under such circumstances, it is likely that he and Li Guoqiang will not be able to coexist.
Either he would run back to Chang County in disgrace and return Xiangmi Zhai to Li Guoqiang, or Li Guoqiang would be driven back to Jinshanbao and never be able to come back again.
Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and a high morale surged in his heart. Then he took his three subordinates and continued to inventory and organize the money, materials and work processes of Xiangmi Zhai, striving to gain full control of Xiangmi Zhai as soon as possible.
Not long after, Li Guoqiang drove Luo Huijuan and others back to the courtyard smoothly. As soon as they walked into their own yard, they saw Luo Guofu squatting under the eaves, puffing on a cigarette.
"Mom, brother, sister-in-law, you are back!"
"Ok!"
Yao Meilan was stunned when she saw Luo Guofu's haggard face, then hurried forward and asked worriedly, "Xiaofu, what happened to you? Why did your face become so ugly?
Also, you've lost weight!"
As she spoke, she reached out and held Luo Guofu's face, looking at him with eyes full of heartache.
"mom!"
Seeing this, Luo Guofu couldn't help but said awkwardly: "I'm fine, I've just been a little busy with work recently, and I didn't sleep well, so this happened. I'll be fine after I rest for a while."
"no!"
Yao Meilan heard this and immediately asked in confusion: "Don't you do the same job every day at the post office? Why are you suddenly so busy?"
"that."
When Luo Guofu heard this question, he couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
If it were someone else, he might be able to fool them, but as Li Dawei's wife, Yao Meilan knew everything about the post office. Even if he wanted to fool them, he didn't have the ability to do so.
"oops!"
When Yao Meilan saw Luo Guofu like this, she couldn't help but stamp her feet and urged him, "Why don't you tell me quickly? What's going on? I saw you were fine a while ago, how come you've made yourself look like this after more than a week?"
"I"
Luo Guofu opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he was too embarrassed to say that he became like this because he and Zhao Qiuyan worked overtime to have a baby.
Helplessly, he could only turn his head and look at Li Guoqiang, hoping that Li Guoqiang could help him deal with Yao Meilan.
Seeing this, Li Guoqiang felt a little happy, then hurried forward and pulled Yao Meilan aside.
"Hey, Qiangzi, why are you pulling me?"
"Mom, Xiaofu's situation is actually like this"
Soon, Li Guoqiang put his mouth close to Yao Meilan's ear, lowered his voice, and recounted all the good things Luo Guofu had done.
"This"
When Yao Meilan heard this, she was stunned for a moment, then she seemed to think of something and suddenly she understood something.
Then, without bothering to ask Li Guoqiang how he knew, she quickly turned around and ran back to Luo Guofu, stretched out her hand and grabbed his ear, then angrily began to lecture him:
"How can you be so reckless, little brat? Even if you want to complete the conditions I set for you as soon as possible, you can't do this.
If you do this, you might end up ruining your body if you don't get pregnant!"
"mom!"
Seeing Yao Meilan so angry, Luo Guofu was in pain and quickly begged for mercy: "I was wrong, I know I was wrong, please be gentle!"
"Humph!"
Yao Meilan snorted coldly, then let go of her hand and poked Luo Guofu's head hard, cursing, "You still feel pain? You are already married and have a family, how can you be so ignorant? I am really about to be mad at you!"
"I was wrong!" Upon hearing this, Luo Guofu didn't dare to retort at all. He could only lower his head and admit his mistake repeatedly.
"okay!"
Yao Meilan looked at Luo Guofu's useless appearance and immediately waved her hand in disdain and said, "Stop pretending to be pitiful in front of me. Why don't you just get out of here and go inside?"
Hearing this, Luo Guofu felt relieved and quickly turned around and ran into the house, fearing that if he ran slower, he would be beaten up by Yao Meilan.
Yao Meilan rolled her eyes angrily when she saw this. After a moment's hesitation, she quickly pulled Li Guoqiang aside and asked worriedly, "Qiangzi, what should we do with Xiaofu in this state?"
"mom!"
Li Guoqiang smiled slightly, then spoke softly to comfort him: "Don't worry! I will go to the kitchen later and make a medicinal meal for Xiaofu to nourish his body, and then give him acupuncture. There shouldn't be any big problem."
As he spoke, he thought of the possibility that Luo Guofu might not be able to have children, hesitated for a moment, and then continued: "However, to be on the safe side, I think it would be better for you to let Xiaofu take time to go to the hospital for a thorough physical examination in a couple of days.
After all, I only learned some unconventional methods from others, and compared with those experienced doctors and scientific instruments in the hospital, I am definitely not as good as them."
"This"
When Yao Meilan heard this suggestion, her heart tightened slightly, and then she asked in confusion, "This matter shouldn't be that serious, right?"
"It's not serious!"
Li Guoqiang shook his head, then explained softly: "It would be more reassuring to just get a checkup, don't you think?"
"That's true!"
Upon hearing this, Yao Meilan couldn't help but nodded in agreement and spoke.
Anyway, their family doesn't lack the money for a physical check-up, so just think of it as buying peace of mind!
After saying that, she turned around and walked into the house in a hurry, asking Luo Guofu to make time to go to the hospital for a physical check-up.
Seeing this, Li Guoqiang breathed a sigh of relief, then hurriedly turned around and went into his own room, took out some medicinal herbs and an old hen from his small world, and prepared to stew a pot of medicinal food for Luo Guofu.
Although Luo Guofu is sometimes unreliable, incompetent and playful, he is Luo Guofu's elder brother after all. Now that he knows that the other party has health problems, he can't just sit there and do nothing.
Fortunately, Yao Meilan has listened to his advice and plans to take Luo Guofu to the hospital for a thorough check-up. By then, perhaps she will know whether Luo Guofu can have a baby.
Soon, it was past nine o'clock in the evening.
After having a hearty meal and eating half a pot of medicinal food, Luo Guofu gradually became more energetic and even a little excited.
When Yao Meilan saw Luo Guofu like this, she hurriedly grabbed his ear and repeatedly warned him not to mess around again, and then let him go.
It’s a pity that Luo Guofu forgot Yao Meilan’s instructions as soon as he left.
He even wanted to use the power of medicinal food to see if he could accomplish the task of continuing the family line.
As for whether there would be any problems with his body, that was not even within his consideration.
If he was really weak, then at worst he would just shamelessly come back and ask Li Guoqiang to help him make some medicinal food to replenish his body.
Not long after, in the Luo family's house, Zhao Qiuyan looked at Luo Guofu's heroic appearance with surprise, and then couldn't help asking: "What's wrong with you today? How come you have become so powerful all of a sudden?"
"hey-hey!"
Hearing this, Luo Guofu immediately smiled smugly and said, "Did I scare you?"
"cut!"
Zhao Qiuyan rolled her eyes, then said with some disdain: "With your current level, you are still far from being good enough!"
"is it?"
Luo Guofu's eyes narrowed, and then he immediately worked even harder to make trouble.
When Zhao Qiuyan saw this, she immediately revealed a look of satisfaction unconsciously.
However, before she could open her mouth to praise Luo Guofu, Luo Guofu suddenly wilted, causing her to frown instantly.
It's such a waste of her expectations. Instead of this, it would be better not to give her hope in the first place!
At the same time, on the other side, Li Guoqiang, Luo Huijuan and others also had a brief taste of the food, and then snuggled up to each other and talked about the changes in Xiangmi Zhai and future arrangements.
Among them, other things were easy to deal with, except Xu Yuying, who was a little difficult to arrange.
After all, her household registration is still in Majiadian Commune. As long as Zhou Mingyu is willing, he can send her back to the countryside at any time.
In order to avoid being constrained, Li Guoqiang thought about it, and then said softly: "Sister Ying, why don't you come back to Jinshanbao with me the day after tomorrow!"
"Okay!"
When Xu Yuying heard this, she immediately agreed with joy on her face.
In fact, for her, the job at Xiangmi Zhai is completely dispensable.
Therefore, being able to go back to Jinshanbao with Li Guoqiang is simply great news.
However, before she could be happy for long, Shang Xiuzhen, Shen Fengxia and others gave her an angry look, which made her smile freeze on her face instantly.
Then, she rolled her eyes and said cautiously, "Well, how about I stay here?"
"Ah!"
Li Guoqiang saw the reactions of Shang Xiuzhen and the others, and heard what Xu Yuying said. He smiled and said jokingly, "What's the matter? Don't you want to be with me?"
"Yes I do!"
Xu Yuying nodded when she heard this, and then said seriously: "But I don't want to make my sisters unhappy."
As soon as these words were spoken, Shang Xiuzhen, Shen Fengxia and others immediately showed a look of satisfaction on their faces, and then gave Xu Yuying a look that said, "You'd better be sensible."
As the saying goes, the problem is not the lack of wealth, but the imbalance of wealth.
Now, they don’t know when Li Guoqiang will be back from his trip to the countryside, but Xu Yuying wants to stay with Li Guoqiang all the time. How can they balance themselves mentally?
Moreover, since they are good sisters, they should share the joys and sorrows.
Didn’t you see that Madam Luo Huijuan has remained silent the whole time?
In the final analysis, this is because Xu Yuying went to the countryside with Li Guoqiang, which was not conducive to unity!
Seeing this, Li Guoqiang did not mention the matter anymore, but instead asked Shang Xiuzhen and others about their requirements for the house in the mountains.
