Chapter 1239: Meet You Again When Flowers Fall (39)
Huo Xiaoye relaxed a lot after being teased by his uncle. He took a deep breath and said, "Uncle, you've almost finished your breakfast. Let's go back to the backyard and have a good talk with Uncle Du."
Originally, I wanted to tease this silly guy some more, but seeing his expression, I didn't refuse and followed Huo Xiaoye to the backyard.
At this time, Du Ruoheng had just finished giving her father an acupuncture injection.
The last time the father and daughter met was three years ago.
At that time, Du Yu'an suffered a backache and was in so much pain that he could hardly sit still.
He went back and forth to see several doctors, but they were all only able to treat the symptoms and not the root cause. Finally, it was Du Ruoheng who rushed back and finally cured him completely.
However, this kind of disease is mostly caused by sitting for a long time, and Du Yu'an's lifestyle habits cannot be changed for the time being, so he can only ask other familiar doctors to give his father acupuncture regularly.
This time the father and daughter met again, and Du Ruoheng did it herself, which was considered as her filial piety.
Du Yu'an hadn't seen his daughter for a few years, so he started talking more often. "I've already met Xiao Huo. Besides being a year or two younger than you, there's nothing wrong with her!"
One or two years old? Du Ruoheng raised her eyebrows slightly. How did she come to this conclusion? She clearly remembered that he was five years old!
She asked casually.
Du Yu'an told his daughter exactly what Huo Xiaoye had said to "fool" him.
"Pfft!" Du Ruoheng just thought it was funny, but she didn't expose Huo Xiaoye. She just said, "It seems that father is very satisfied with Lu Lang!"
At his daughter's instruction, Du Yu'an changed his posture and continued, "They say that comparing people makes you angry and comparing goods makes you throw them away. I wanted to test him, but when he came to pick me up at the city gate that day, guess who I met?"
While inserting the needle, Du Ruoheng asked nonchalantly, "Did you see someone you know?"
"That's right!" Du Yu'an opened his mouth, "It's actually Wei Yanshan. You haven't seen what he looks like now. He has an unshaven beard, his legs and feet are not very convenient, and he has become much darker. The most important thing is that he looks older than me.
I figured since he was standing next to me, he must be the one being called "Uncle!"
Du Ruoheng curled her lips and said, "Dad, you're not old at all. Besides, your life is getting richer and your mood is getting more and more relaxed. Naturally, your state is much better than his."
Du Yu'an nodded: "So! When Xiao Huo's appearance is put together with Wei Yanshan, I immediately feel that Xiao Huo should be my son-in-law."
At this point, Du Yu'an deliberately said: "However, although I agree to this marriage, I still want to keep you for a year. This is customary."
Afterwards, Du Yu'an talked a lot with his daughter, and finally mentioned: "It would be best for you to return to Huanzhou to get married. There are also female relatives of the Du family there who can help with the arrangements."
Knowing that his father was doing this for his own good, Du Ruoheng did not raise any objections.
However, after she put away the needle, she unconsciously touched her pulse and cursed in her heart: You little bastard, you are young after all, but you are so quick!
While at Yunshan Temple, Du Ruoheng discovered that there were some problems with his physical strength and appetite.
After feeling her pulse, it was clear that she had been pregnant for more than a month.
Counting the dates, it should be the days when I met Huo Xiaoye in Cannes.
While he was thinking, there was a knock on the door. Hongdou said at the door: "Master, Miss, Lord Huo and Lord Governor are here together. He asked if you have time to meet him now."
Du Ruoheng quickly collected his thoughts and quickened the pace to put the needles away, his face showing his usual calmness.
Du Yu'an responded loudly: "Red Head, go and tell the two adults that we will be there soon."
After the father and daughter had finished tidying up, they headed towards the living room in the backyard—actually, it was in the next room.
The door opened as soon as it was pushed open. Huo Xiaoye looked towards the person who came in, and his eyes immediately fell on his sweetheart Du Ruoheng.
When his passionate gaze met the other person's calm face, he couldn't help feeling a little discouraged - he hadn't seen her for a whole night, why did she seem to miss him!
Du Ruoheng keenly captured the change in Huo Xiaoye's mood. She nodded slightly at him almost imperceptibly, as if to say, I miss you too!
When Huo Xiaoye saw this, his expression immediately became happy again.
"Cough!" Du Yu'an obviously saw their interaction, so he interrupted the flirting with a light cough.
Dou Yuanzheng also saw it. He rarely saw a nephew like this, so he just thought it was interesting and did not stop it.
After seeing Du Yu'an's expression, he quickly tried to smooth things over: "Brother Du, you've worked hard all the way here! I've heard of your talent for a long time, and today I finally get to see it!"
Although Du Yu'an had some opinions about Huo Xiaoye's performance just now.
But Dou Yuanzheng was respectful and sincere, so he couldn't be disrespectful. "General Dou, you are too polite. I am just a lowly official and don't deserve your praise. Please take a seat."
After the few of them sat down again as host and guest, Huo Xiaoye naturally walked to Du Ruoheng's side.
"Are you tired?" He had just heard Hongdou say that Du Ruoheng was giving acupuncture. Now, after close contact, he noticed the sweat beads on the other's forehead, so he couldn't help asking.
Du Ruoheng shook her head, but still took the cup filled with water from Huo Xiaoye and took a sip.
