“Knock knock!”
Qin Wan took a deep breath and raised her hand to knock on the door of the room.
“Who is it?”
A pale voice came from inside the room.
It was only after a while that the door of the room slowly opened, and an old man in a sweatshirt with a full head of white walked out from inside.
“Wan’er?”
Upon seeing Qin Wan, the old man’s entire body froze in place, obviously, not expecting it to be his own daughter.
“Dad!”Qin Wan called out with a smile.
The old man happily asked, “Why did you come back?”
“I came back to see you all.”Qin Wan said.
At this moment, the old man’s gaze fell on Ye Qiu and asked, “Wan’er, this is”
“Ye Qiu, my friend.”Qin Wan introduced.
“Good day, Uncle.”Ye Qiu politely greeted the old man.
“Hello hello hello, quickly enter the house.”The old man warmly invited Ye Qiu into the house while shouting, “Wifey, look who’s back?”
Soon, a skinny woman in housecoat came out from inside the kitchen.
“Wan Er?”The woman also froze when she saw Qin Wan.
“Mum, I’m back.”Qin Wan put down her curtsy and walked over to hug the woman.
The mother and daughter embraced for a while before separating.
“This one is?”Similarly, Qin Wan’s mother noticed Ye Qiu.
“Hello Auntie, I’m Ye Qiu, Sister Wan’s friend.”Ye Qiu said with a smile.
“Little Ye, have a seat, I’ll make you some tea.”
Mother Qin was very polite, serving tea and water, and also washing fruits for Ye Qiu, making Ye Qiu embarrassed.
“Auntie and Uncle, I came in a hurry, I didn’t buy any gifts for the two old men, this red packet will be a little bit of my heart, please don’t dislike it.”
Ye Qiu took out a bulging red packet from his pocket and handed it to Father Qin’s hand.
“Little Ye, we are already happy that you can come to our home, what else do you need a red packet for, take it back.”Qin father pushed back.
“Uncle, this is my intention, you take it, otherwise I will be embarrassed to come to the door in the future.”Ye Qiu said.
Upon hearing this, Father Qin took the red packet and then asked Qin Wan, “Wan’er, you guys haven’t eaten yet, right?”
Qin Wan shook her head, “Not yet.”
“Wifey, go kill the chicken.”Father Qin commanded.
Hearing this, Qin Wan blushed slightly.
Ye Qiu hurriedly said, “Auntie and Uncle, there’s no need to be so troublesome, just copy two small dishes at random so that we can fill our stomachs.”
“How can that be, it’s your first time at home, you must eat and drink well.”Qin father smiled and asked Qin Wan, “Wan’er, is it okay to kill the chicken?”
Qin Wan blushes and says, “Dad, it’s all under your arrangement.”
“That’s right, you quickly go and give your mother a hand, I’ll chat with Xiao Ye for a while.”
“Hmm.”
Qin Wan just entered the kitchen, Qin mother asked, “Wan Er, where is this Xiao Ye from? What does he do?”
Qin Wan replied, “He’s from Jiangzhou, he’s the head of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department at Jiangzhou Hospital.”
Mother Qin’s eyes lit up, city dweller, or a doctor, decent!
“What else is in his family?”Qin mother asked again.
Qin Wan said, “He and his mother are the only ones in his family.”
Mother Qin secretly said, family relations are simple, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get along well, her daughter won’t have conflicts when she marries there!
“What did you guys start?”Mother Qin continued to ask.
Qin Wan blushed and busily said, “Mom, Ye Qiu and I are just ordinary friends.”
Mother Qin laughed, “An ordinary friend you would bring him home? Don’t you know that the rule here is that the first time an aunt comes to the house, you need to kill a chicken for the aunt to eat, just now when your father said to kill a chicken, you didn’t even object, is this still an ordinary friend?”
Qin Wan was speechless.
Qin mother asked smilingly, “Wan Er, how far have you and Xiao Ye progressed? When are you going to get married and when are you going to have a child?”
Marriage?
To have a child?
Qin Wan: “????”
In the living room.
Qin father’s eyes kept sweeping around Ye Qiu’s body, while sizing up, he was thinking in his heart, the young man is young and handsome, worthy of Wan Er, just don’t know what the conditions are?
After two minutes.
Father Qin finally couldn’t help but open his mouth and asked, “Little Ye, where are you from?”
“Uncle, I’m from Jiangzhou.”Ye Qiu replied politely.
“What kind of work are you doing?”
“I am a doctor.”
“Doctor is good, this profession never goes out of fashion.”The smile on Qin’s father’s face intensified as he asked, “Are your parents all right?”
Ye Qiu said, “My father disappeared when I was very young, and over the years, my mother and I have depended on each other, and she is in good health.”
“So that’s how it is, you child, it’s not easy. By the way, you guys are back, where is Xi Xi? How is her health?”
Father Qin asked about Xi Xi.
Ye Qiu smiled, “Xi Xi has been discharged from the hospital and is now at my house, my mother is helping to bring her up.”
“The elderly helping with the child, you two going to work, it’s quite good.”Qin father then asked, “Xiao Ye, are you getting along well with our family Wan Er?”
“Quite well.”
“Then I’m relieved.”Father Qin said, “Wan Er looks strong, but she is actually very fragile inside, Xiao Ye, I hope you can treat Wan Er well.”
“Uncle don’t worry, I will treat Sister Wan well.”
Ye Qiu wanted to slap himself after saying this.
This was clearly the old father-in-law’s advice to his son-in-law, what am I picking up on?
Ye Qiu immediately changed the topic and said, “Uncle, actually, this time I came to Ringing Water Town for work.”
“Work? What kind of work?”Father Qin was a bit curious.
Ye Qiu said, “An infectious disease has appeared in Rattleshower Town, and several people have died, this matter, do you know about it, Uncle?”
Father Qin nodded and said, “I’ve heard about it, this matter was born in Mogan Village, and now Mogan Village has sealed the village, and people outside are not allowed to go in, and people inside are not allowed to come out.”
Ye Qiu secretly nodded.
Sealing the village was the simplest and most effective method to block the infectious disease, in this way, the source of infection could be effectively controlled.
Qin’s father let out a long sigh and said, “For so many years, Mogan Village has been safe and sound, nothing has happened, but I don’t know what happened, but a terrible disease suddenly appeared.”
“Some say it’s leprosy, some say it’s bubonic plague, and some say it’s cholera anyway, saying whatever.”
“I have a relative who lives in Mogan Village, and I’ve heard that the village is now on edge inside, everyone is hiding inside their houses and doesn’t dare to come out.”
“Little Ye, you came here for the infectious disease in Mogan Village?”
Ye Qiu nodded and said, “The Jiangzhou Health Bureau attaches great importance to this matter and has specially organised a medical team, and I am the captain of the medical team.”
“The purpose of me coming here is to investigate clearly what the infectious disease that appeared in Mogan Village is.”
“Uncle, how far is Mogan Village from here? How can I get there more conveniently?”
“Little Ye, Mogan Village cannot be visited.”Father Qin’s face suddenly became unprecedentedly grave.
“Why?”Ye Qiu was puzzled.
Father Qin said, “They all say that what appeared in Mogan Village is an infectious disease, but in fact, we locals all know that it’s not an infectious disease at all, Mogan Village is haunted!”
