Chapter 66

As Liu Yueying praised Xia Gui Fang, Xu Qingxue frowned, whether intentionally or unintentionally, and interrupted her mother, "Mom, talking is very tiring. You just got better, I suggest you lie down and rest for a while..."

"No problem," Liu Yueying smiled with relief and said, "After Wang Xiaoqiang treated me, I feel more energetic than before, and I even have more strength... His qigong is truly amazing!"

As she spoke, Liu Yueying's gaze moved between Wang Xiaoqiang and Xia Gui Fang. Seeing that Wang Xiaoqiang and Xia Gui Fang were a well-matched pair, she said even more happily, "Xiaoqiang, when are you going to set the wedding date? Let us know, and we will definitely come to bless you."

Wang Xiaoqiang waved his hand and said, "It's still early. We are still young and don't need to rush into marriage. Right now, our main focus is on our careers..."

As he said this, Wang Xiaoqiang glanced at Xia Gui Fang, either intentionally or unintentionally. In fact, he was also saying this for Xia Gui Fang, as it was his true feeling.

Xia Gui Fang did not show any sign of disappointment. She was a year younger than Wang Xiaoqiang and naturally did not rush to get married. As long as Wang Xiaoqiang acknowledged her as his partner, she was content.

"Hmm, this idea is good. Young people should focus on their careers," Xu Yongqian praised, "By the way, Xiaoqiang, have you thought about working in the provincial capital? Although I'm retired, I still have some connections here. Arranging a job for you shouldn't be a problem..."

Xu Yongqian sincerely offered to arrange a job for Wang Xiaoqiang, but he also wanted to have more contact with him. With his insight, he could see that Wang Xiaoqiang's "qigong" was effective for his wife's illness. If Wang Xiaoqiang could live in the provincial capital in the future, he would have more opportunities to interact with him, which would provide a guarantee for his wife's health.

"Mr. Xu, thank you for your kindness, but I am currently farming at home..." Wang Xiaoqiang then described how he had contracted forty acres of land to grow yams.

Mr. Xu was both disappointed and pleased, "Xiaoqiang, I support your decision. Young people should dare to take risks, but if you encounter any difficulties in the future, just call me..."

Xu Yongqian was genuinely afraid that Wang Xiaoqiang would not call him.

While Xu Yongqian and Wang Xiaoqiang were talking, Xu Qingxue had already gone to the kitchen to cook. Xia Gui Fang offered to help. She was surprised that a young lady like Xu Qingxue could cook, and Xia Gui Fang's efficiency and agility also made Xu Qingxue secretly marvel.

Xu Qingxue cooked only occasionally, while Xia Gui Fang cooked every day. Xu Qingxue thought that this country girl was indeed more diligent than the city ladies. If Wang Xiaoqiang married Xia Gui Fang, he would certainly be happy. However, just thinking about this made her feel a bit sour, as if she couldn't bear to see others do well. This feeling made her very curious.

With the two beautiful women working together, the meal was quickly prepared and served. There were eight dishes and one soup, a very rich spread. Mr. Xu took out two bottles of Maotai to entertain Wang Xiaoqiang.

Just as the food was served and no one had sat down yet, the balcony echoed with barking. Two small black dogs darted in. They were about three to four months old, with shiny black fur, large and broad faces, and a lovable appearance, clearly Tibetan Mastiff puppies.

"What beautiful Tibetan Mastiffs!" Wang Xiaoqiang, seeing the adorable Tibetan Mastiff puppies, squatted down to examine them closely, stroking their fur, his affection evident.

"Do you like them? If you do, take them home," Xu Yongqian said generously.

"That wouldn't be right..." To be honest, Wang Xiaoqiang really liked them, but he knew that Tibetan Mastiffs were very expensive. Purebred Tibetan Mastiffs could cost several million each, and Mr. Xu's family naturally had purebred Tibetan Mastiffs.

"Xiaoqiang, don't be falsely polite with me," Xu Yongqian frowned, "If you like them, take both of them."

Wang Xiaoqiang knew that Mr. Xu disliked false politeness, but he felt embarrassed taking both. So he said, "Then I'll take one, just this once."

Before Mr. Xu could speak, Liu Yueying waved her hand, "Xiaoqiang, take both of them. I'm tired of these little things barking all day..."

"..." Wang Xiaoqiang didn't know how to respond. Taking both would not be just taking what others loved, but it would seem greedy, and it was too valuable. He really didn't dare to think about it. At this moment, Xu Qingxue suddenly walked up to him, leaned in close, and whispered, "If he offers, take them. The old man doesn't lack for these things."

Wang Xiaoqiang, feeling the warm breath on his ear, his heart raced. To cover his embarrassment, he blurted out, "Alright, I'll take both dogs."

"That's right, Xiaoqiang, remember, never be polite with me!" Xu Yongqian seemed very happy when Wang Xiaoqiang agreed. It wasn't that he didn't like the dogs; each purebred Tibetan Mastiff cost two to three million, and both together were worth four to five million. But he was sincere in giving the dogs to Wang Xiaoqiang, especially since they were gifts from his former students. As Xu Qingxue said, if he wanted to keep dogs, he wouldn't need to spend money; a phone call would do the trick.

After a satisfying meal and some more conversation, Wang Xiaoqiang and Xia Gui Fang said their goodbyes, saying they were going home. Mr. Xu ordered Xu Qingxue to drive them, and Wang Xiaoqiang didn't refuse because it would be very inconvenient to take the public bus with the two Tibetan Mastiff puppies. Having someone drive them was exactly what he wanted.

Mr. and Mrs. Xu personally saw them off at the door, earnestly urging them to visit if they came to the provincial capital in the future.

In fact, they were afraid that Wang Xiaoqiang would leave and never return. Wang Xiaoqiang's "qigong" could treat Liu Yueying's illness, which, though miraculous, was a clear fact. Even if it couldn't completely cure her, it could extend her life by a few years. They didn't know that if Wang Xiaoqiang insisted on using his spiritual energy to treat Liu Yueying a few times, her illness could be completely cured.

Although they thought this, they didn't feel comfortable asking, as Wang Xiaoqiang lived far away and couldn't come to the provincial capital often.

Although the old couple didn't bring it up, Xu Qingxue did while driving Wang Xiaoqiang and Xia Gui Fang home, "Xiaoqiang, I, I want to discuss something with you..."

Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang agree, Xu Qingxue said weakly, "Can you, can you use your 'qigong' to treat my mom regularly? I don't ask for much, just once a month, and I'll drive to pick you up... Of course, I won't let you do it for free..."

"Stop, don't mention money," Wang Xiaoqiang interrupted her before she could finish, "I agree. Whenever I have free time, I'll come to the provincial capital. Is that okay? But having you pick me up and drop me off is a bit troublesome..."

"Not troublesome at all, not at all!" Xu Qingxue waved her hand, thinking to herself, "I'm afraid you won't trouble me."
