Chapter 591: Chapter 591: Truly a Wonderful Age

Old Sir He pointed at Lin Chuxia, “Let her entertain you, so she won’t always be bothering an old man like me.”

“Master, I was clearly helping,” Lin Chuxia disagreed and rebutted, somewhat defiantly.

Old Sir He didn’t even give her a glance.

Zhuang Yang had visited often and was well aware of how Lin Chuxia and Old Sir He interacted.

Ms. Zhuang had only thought that the old man valued this young disciple of his before. Now, seeing how the two interacted, she was both surprised and amused.

The old man had a quirky temperament, and Lin Chuxia, as his young disciple, didn’t cater to it at all. Their interactions were not only harmonious but also very heartwarming.

Ms. Zhuang’s gaze fell on Lin Chuxia again, taking a closer look at her belly.

“It looks like you’re six or seven months along, right?”

Lin Chuxia nodded and gently touched her belly, “Exactly 7 months.”

“It’s a big commitment to make you brew medicine for me every day at this stage. I feel really guilty. As I heard, Zhuang Yang is clumsy and knows nothing about brewing traditional Chinese medicine. When he told me about the methods of brewing, I couldn’t trust anyone else to do it.”

“It’s okay. This is something we ought to do. Since I promised to help nurse Ms. Zhuang back to health, it’s our responsibility as doctors to ensure you recover quickly,” Lin Chuxia said.

Ms. Zhuang thanked her again and looked at Lin Chuxia with a slight daze, “Miss Lin, you’re not that old, are you?”

“I’m 23 years old,” At 23, being able to become a mother, Lin Chuxia was quite satisfied with her age.

While immersed in her own happiness, she didn’t notice the slight surprise on Ms. Zhuang’s face across from her.

Ms. Zhuang sat on the stool Lin Chuxia had provided.

The weather was nice today, and the sunlight was warm, just like the smile on Lin Chuxia’s face.

“23 years old, such a good age. I hear from Zhuang Yang that you’re quite the business person. What kind of business are you involved in? Would you mind sharing with me?”

At this point, she seemed to feel a bit impolite and smiled as she explained.

“You know, another reason I returned to the country was to explore some investment opportunities. These were things I wouldn’t have dared to consider before, thinking I might die abroad. It’s only in the past couple of years that I’ve realized our country’s development has been significant and open to people like us, so I returned to see for myself. But even returning, I’m still not very familiar with the domestic situation.”

Lin Chuxia thought she could clarify things for Ms. Zhuang.

She poured each of them a glass of water before starting to talk about her business, then moving on to emerging industries in the country.

She spoke slowly and had her own unique insights into various industries.

After all, being seasoned with life, she was more aware of the country’s development direction.

During this interaction, she knew Ms. Zhuang truly wanted to invest in national development, and interacting with Ms. Zhuang made Lin Chuxia feel very comfortable.

This led her to say even more.

Ms. Zhuang transitioned from being nonchalant to occasionally posing questions and sharing her own insights.

She was also a businesswoman abroad and understood the value of Lin Chuxia’s words.

Based on both domestic and foreign situations, she offered some of her own thoughts.

The traditional Chinese medicine on the stove had already begun to boil, simmering slowly and emitting steam.

The aroma of the medicine filled the courtyard, blending harmoniously with the unhurried discussions between the two women.

It wasn’t until Old Sir He reminded them that the medicine was ready that Lin Chuxia realized she’d been chatting with Ms. Zhuang for over an hour.

And at the side, Zhuang Yang had already taken out his notebook to jot down some key points.

She smiled sheepishly, “These are just my shallow opinions, I’m sure Ms. Zhuang finds them laughable.”

“Not at all, these ideas of yours seem highly feasible to me. Since returning to the country and falling ill, Zhuang Yang has been handling all the work-related matters. On one hand, he’s investigating the market, and on the other, taking care of me. It’s really taxing on him. Sometimes, I wonder if the day comes when I pass away, I’ll just let Zhuang Yang bury me here, and as for other affairs, I’ll let Zhuang Yang follow his heart.”

She spoke these words, and Lin Chuxia understood that if left to his own devices, Zhuang Yang would most likely return to his original country.

One aspect being that Zhuang Yang didn’t seem to have the same dedication to national development as Ms. Zhuang.

Furthermore, accompanying Ms. Zhuang on her return, should Ms. Zhuang pass away domestically, how could he stay here and deal with business matters? He would definitely return to handle affairs on Ms. Zhuang’s side.

Lin Chuxia recalled her past life, and indeed, she hadn’t heard of any foreign enterprises in Yan City.

With the medicine ready, Ms. Zhuang and Zhuang Yang took their leave, carrying the medicine back to their lodging.

Lin Chuxia asked Old Sir He if he’d like to eat out, as she could accompany him today.

Old Sir He looked at her with suspicion and, seeing that she wasn’t joking, dusted off his hands and had his young disciple drive the Jeep to take him to Qin’s Restaurant.

By now, Qin’s Restaurant had expanded to two locations.

The original store on Construction Road in the east of town was managed by Qin Juan, while Jia Liang went to the second store on Yongding Road in the west of the city.

Lin Chuxia took Old Sir He to the old store, coincidentally, Qin Han happened to be delivering vegetables to the restaurant.

Seeing Lin Chuxia, he was quite surprised, “I was thinking of going to see you after lunch. My older brother’s watermelons and melons have come in, so I brought you some to taste, along with strawberries picked for you.”

“Thank you for always thinking of me, brother. It’s fortunate we ran into each other, otherwise, there might not be anyone home when you arrived.”

Today, Qin Yang’s unit had some business, and he had lunch with his unit’s leaders, which he mentioned to her in the morning. Otherwise, Lin Chuxia might not have accompanied Old Sir He to dine out.

She asked Qin Juan to bring some strawberries and melons, and Qin Han told her Qin Juan’s share was already given to her, the rest was reserved for her.

Given the situation, Lin Chuxia opened the trunk and had Qin Han help load things into the car.

Qin Han hadn’t eaten lunch, as Old Sir He had already ordered dishes, so the three of them ate lunch together.

Old Sir He had no hobbies besides enjoying a little drink.

Under Lin Chuxia’s supervision, he didn’t drink much each time, but just enough to satisfy his craving.

Qin Han had driven here, and though there weren’t strict laws against drunk driving back then, for his safety, Lin Chuxia only let him drink tea.

Qin Han understood this and drank tea while eating, and couldn’t help but bring up matters from the village.

Like the Qin Family Village this year, it might not change daily, but changes were happening all the time.

The village’s vegetable greenhouses doubled compared to last spring.

Moreover, this year’s greenhouses were no longer reliant on support from Lin Chuxia or the village, as individuals used their own savings from the previous year to build them.

Not only Qin Family Village, but nearby villages also set up a few greenhouses.
