Chapter 67: The Arrival of Wan Lao
Thanks for the rewards from Iron Lion Beast Emperor, *Unknown Life*, Honest Man 888 and many brothers and sisters like Lonely Snow!
On the same day that Chu Jia Yan and others left, two off-road vehicles arrived in the village again, naturally attracting the attention of the villagers.
The old village chief was puzzled and thought that it was really absurd. In a mountainous valley like the Chu family's, which was so poor and remote, how could such a luxurious car come in? He couldn't help but think of the fat man from before and went to greet him with a nervous heart.
At this time, two cars stopped, the front car opened the door and came down a middle-aged man. If Chu Jiaqiang were present, he would definitely recognize this person, who was none other than Wan Guoliang, with whom he had a nodding acquaintance.
They were surprised to find that Wan Lao had gone to the hospital for a check-up as soon as he parted ways with Chu Jiaqiang. Although Wan Lao's illness did not improve much, it was indeed better than before. Wan Guoshan immediately went to the relevant department to investigate Chu Jiaqiang's information, found out his residence, and wanted to send his parents over right away. However, Wan Lao was afraid of being too abrupt, so he dragged on until now before coming to the door.
"Hello! I am Chu Xianzong, the village chief of Chujiazhuang. Is there anything I can help you with?" The old village chief asked cautiously, and seeing that it was not Tang Baozi who got off the car, he felt a little disappointed in his heart. After all, if it were Tang Baozi, there might be another opportunity to make money for the village.
"It turned out to be Village Chief Uncle, nice to meet you! My surname is Wan, we are here to find Chu Jiaqiang, I don't know if you can show us the way?" Although the person in front of him was just a small village chief, his good upbringing since childhood taught him to respect others, especially the elderly. Moreover, his parents would be spending some time in this village and might need to trouble the village chief, so he didn't dare to be rude.
The old village chief secretly thought that, indeed, apart from finding Chu Jiaqiang, he really couldn't think of anyone else in the village who had the ability to make wealthy outsiders come to their humble place. His expectations for Chu Jiaqiang grew even higher, and his confidence in him became even stronger.
"It turned out you were looking for Qiang's family! Come with me then! Their house is still a distance away." The old village chief immediately led the way forward.
Wan Guoliang had originally wanted to invite the old village chief to get in the car and take him there, but the old man had already turned around and left, so he could only quickly get into the car and drive after him.
At this time, Chu Jiaqiang was lying on a bamboo chair under the big dragon eye tree, with his eyes closed, as if he had already fallen asleep. Next to him, the two old men were still playing chess as usual, regardless of wind or rain. Yan Tianzhi, who was originally lying on the other side, was walking back and forth in the shade of the tree, sometimes sitting down to rest.
The old village chief saw this scene from afar and couldn't help but smile wryly. This guy was indeed carefree, sleeping in the middle of the day, leaving others speechless. In rural areas, everyone generally went to bed early, had enough sleep at night, and didn't have the habit of taking a nap during the day.
Yan Tianzhi and Xu Xiu saw the old village chief walking towards them, followed by two off-road vehicles. A large group of children from the village were chasing after the cars, watching the commotion with curiosity.
"Village elder uncle, you have so much free time today to come over and sit?"
"Hehe! The people behind are looking for Jiaqiang, I'm just leading the way. Hmm? This kid is still sleeping?" The old village chief glanced at Chu Jiaqiang and found that this kid was sleeping soundly.
"Haha! His days are really not bad at all." Yan Tianzhi gradually discovered that the one who knew how to enjoy life was actually this little guy.
At this time, all the people on the car got off. There were a total of seven people, fewer than before, without Wan Guoshan. Wan Guoshan worked in the system and held a high position, making it difficult to find time, so he had to let Wan Guoliang bring everyone over.
Seeing two old men on the car, Lao Cun Zhang was even more surprised. I don't know what these people want to do with Chu Jiaqiang.
As soon as they got off the car, they walked towards the old village chief and stretched out their hands: "Is this the village chief? Nice to meet you! We two old guys are here to find Jiaqiang for medical treatment. Sorry for the trouble!"
The old village chief was obviously much older than Wan Lao Da. Setting aside their identities, it was only natural for Wan to call him "older brother". He then introduced his wife, son and others to everyone.
The old village chief couldn't see through these people's backgrounds, but Yan Tianzhi could roughly tell from the license plate number that they were not simple, and immediately got to know each other.
"Finding a good doctor to treat your illness is absolutely right, look at me, just over a month ago I was half-paralyzed and disabled, the hospital didn't give up on me but definitely couldn't cure me, now I'm standing upright again?" Yan Tianzhi said with a smile.
Wan Guoliang was shocked after listening, and hurriedly asked Yan Tianzhi about the situation. After hearing it, he was greatly surprised. They thought they had already looked at Chu Jiang very highly, but unexpectedly still underestimated Chu Jiang's ability. Even a half-paralyzed person can be cured, which is really shocking. At the same time, I am also full of hope and confidence in this medical treatment.
The old village chief saw that Chu Jiaqiang still had some signs of waking up, so he shook the bamboo chair and shouted: "Guests have arrived? Not yet awake?"
Chu Jiaqiang slowly opened his sleepy eyes, saw the old village chief, stretched his waist and asked dazedly: "Huh? Is it dawn?"
Chu Jiaqiang felt like he had no strength in his body, but actually, this is a normal phenomenon when taking a nap in the summer. Many people have this feeling: the more they sleep in the summer, the more tired they feel and don't want to get up. According to scientific theory, due to high temperatures in the summer, the human body's heat dissipation process causes skin capillaries to expand, leading to an imbalance in blood distribution, a large amount of blood stagnating on the surface, and insufficient brain blood supply, making people feel more lethargic the more they sleep. Therefore, doctors will always advise against sleeping too long during naps.
Everyone laughed at Chu Jiaqiang's silly appearance.
"You must have slept stupidly! What time is it now? Stop talking nonsense, the honored guest has arrived! Hurry up and wake up!" The old village chief said irritably.
Chu Jiaqiang wiped his face and looked over, finding that it was Wan Lao and others with whom he had a nodding acquaintance, so he got up.
"Wow, you guys have arrived! Come on in and take a seat!"
"Haha! I've come to bother you, have I disturbed your sleep? No need to go in, it's fine right here under the tree, nice and cool!" Old Wan laughed.
"Little brother's life is indeed leisurely." Wang Guoliang also smiled slightly.
"Big brother! We meet again." The little loli who looked like a princess said happily.
A beautiful woman next to her, who was the little girl's mother, corrected: "Don't call him brother, call him uncle." Because her husband called Chu Jiaqiang younger brother, her child naturally had to be called uncle.
Chu's family was strong, and he waved his hand: "It doesn't matter what you call it, just stand for a while, I'll go in and move the stool out." After finishing speaking, he walked into the house and carried out the wooden stool that had been ordered from the old carpenter in the village some time ago.
The old lady took a few glances at the children who followed her, and had her daughter-in-law take out the fruit cakes and other snacks she had bought to distribute to the kids, which delighted them so much that their faces lit up with joy.
