Chapter 219 Borrowing a daughter is easier than borrowing an ox
"Ah...it's all cleared up! The gas's all out! It feels so good!"
Niu Wannian patted his chest with a broad smile on his face!
Niu Baisui asked doubtfully, "Dad, you're really breathing heavily. Are you really better or not?"
Niu Wannian ignored him, closing his eyes to savor the sense of ease he hadn't felt in a long time.
As Lu Yao performed the acupuncture, he whispered to Niu Erya:
"Girl, massage your grandfather's Fenglong and Zusanli acupoints on his legs every day to help him clear phlegm. Also, give him some almonds and snow pears to moisturize his lungs."
He then turned to Niu Wannian: "Old man, your health didn't collapse overnight, and it's impossible for you to fully recover in a day. I'll go back into the mountains to gather some herbs for you, so you won't cough when you go out in the snow."
Within a few minutes, Lu Yao put away the silver needles.
"Grandpa, get up and try walking around!"
Niu Wannian, shirtless, climbed to the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) and got out of bed.
I walked around with my back bent over, and when I felt my breathing become easier and more relaxed, I straightened up.
Take a deep breath and head outside.
Niu Baisui stopped him:
"Dad, please don't go out. If you go out, you'll start coughing nonstop, and when you cough, you keep spitting phlegm..."
"Fuck you, are you worried something will happen to me or do you think I'm dirty? I'll go out and try!"
Niu Wannian shoved his son away.
He didn't cough even after using so much force, which gave him even more confidence.
Lu Yao added, "It's alright, go out and get some fresh air. But don't stay out too long!"
Niu Wannian's health is failing, or his trachea and lungs cannot tolerate the cold.
At this moment, Lu Yao cleared his meridians, and he swallowed the phlegm. He felt himself stand up straight.
When we arrived at the door, we opened it.
A cold wind swept in.
I got a chill and rushed back.
He was shirtless.
He ran back with his arms crossed, and surprisingly, he didn't cough.
He immediately burst out laughing:
"Look, I'm not coughing! Look, I really am not coughing... cough cough cough..."
He coughed a few times before he could finish speaking.
He immediately straightened up: "It's alright, it's alright, just one or two sounds, I can bear it!"
Lu Yao smiled and said, "Grandpa, as I said, acupuncture can be effective, but it won't cure you immediately. I'll treat you a few more times later!"
Niu Wannian quickly expressed his gratitude.
He pulled Lu Yao to sit down and told Niu Erya to quickly pour some tea.
Their attitude towards Lu Yao had already surpassed their attitude towards Yang Shouye.
When Niu Baisui saw that his father was mostly recovered, he wanted to leave.
Niu Wannian stopped him:
"A hundred years old, right? Company Commander Lu just said he needs to borrow an old dairy cow for a month?"
Niu Baisui turned around, his face showing difficulty:
"Dad, he's from Jiapigou."
Niu Wannian was taken aback: "Ah, you're from Jiapigou?"
Niu Baisui thought to himself, "My father hates Jiapigou even more than I do."
It seems we can't agree to that either.
Niu Wannian looked at Lu Yao, then at Niu Baisui:
"What's wrong with Jiapigou? Do you have a grudge against the people of Jiapigou? Did they take your child and jump into a well?"
"..."
Niu Baisui was a little confused.
I thought to myself, didn't you say a few years ago that you were mortal enemies with Jiapigou?
They didn't jump into the well with my child, but they beat up my dad!
Your five-piece set is still in Ding Dahu's hands!
Niu Wannian grabbed Lu Yao's hand and said, "Young man, I don't hate the people of Jiapigou, I hate that bastard Ding Dahu. You're not related to him, are you?"
Lu Yao smiled and shook his head: "Not for now."
"That's good, it doesn't matter if we have one. So many years have passed, a fight isn't some irreconcilable feud. Besides, that bastard Ding Dahu is really good at fighting, I can't beat him."
Niu Baisui was a little confused. Why was his father in such a good mood today?
Has the rough edge really been smoothed out by the years?
He was right; Niu Wannian hadn't been able to leave the house during the winter for the past few years.
He would sit on the kang (a heated brick bed) for months at a time, and he figured everything out.
Fame, fortune, wealth, and glory are nothing compared to health! Compared to life, they are all fleeting clouds!
Even provincial governors, mayors, tycoons, and wealthy individuals couldn't understand it, but he, a retired production team leader, figured it out.
I feel that as long as I can get back to a healthy body, I can let go of any grudges or grievances.
Even the grudges with Ding Dahu are nothing.
What does it matter if we're family or enemies? In the end, we're all the same.
What's wrong with your family member? They said they were sick, vomited, and when they came over, they covered their nose and looked impatient.
His wife was like that, his son and daughter-in-law were like that too, only Er Ya was a little better.
Can't you see it yourself?
He thought he had reached the end of his life and would spend the rest of his days sleeping on a heated brick bed, but unexpectedly a young man came and rescued him from a pile of phlegm.
If he had any hope of becoming a healthy person, how could he not flatter Lu Yao?
Weighing the pros and cons, nothing is more important than a doctor who can cure your illness!
So a decision was made instantly:
"Company Commander Lu, all you're doing is borrowing a cow for a month, fine! I agree!"
Niu Baisui said unsatisfiedly:
"Dad, I'm the production team leader now!"
Niu Wannian roared, "If I don't hand over the captaincy to you, you're a fucking captain!"
Niu Baisui blushed and remained silent.
I know that my father has been a bit impatient these past few years and doesn't think much of me.
He always says that his family is annoyed with him and hates him.
It's not that I'm annoyed by him, it's just that the phlegm he spits out really smells awful.
Niu Wannian said to Yang Shouye, "Director Yang, you heard it all. Just now, that bastard Bai Sui made a bet with Company Commander Lu. You have to stand up for him."
Lu Yao looked at Yang Shouye, thinking to himself, "Now that things have come to this, are you still trying to play tricks?"
Yang Shouye laughed heartily and reached out to pat Niu Baisui's hand:
"Captain Niu, stop being so stubborn. It's just for a month, it's not like I need your ox. What are you going to do with it? Aren't you going to give me this much face?"
This was the first time Yang Shouye spoke human language after he entered the house.
He was also quite shocked by Lu Yao's superb medical skills, which had already produced immediate results in treating Niu Wannian, so he could no longer remain hidden.
Niu Baisui was still a little uneasy: "There are so many squad leaders, I need to call a meeting!"
Niu Wannian, fearing that Lu Yao would be angry and stop coming, reached out and grabbed a felt sock ball:
"Can't you even understand human language? The director has spoken, and you're still acting like a fool. If the squad leader isn't satisfied, let them come find me!"
Niu Baisui was very unhappy, but he knew his father's temper.
If you don't agree, I'll spit phlegm on the table during dinner.
She could only nod: "Alright, Er Ya, you take them to herd the cow, but take Er Hua, not Da Hua."
Niu Erya was so happy that she jumped up:
"Alright, Company Commander Lu, come with me!"
Lu Yao stood up, his face expressionless, and shook hands with Niu Wannian:
"Grandpa, I'll be going now. If you need anything, you can have Captain Niu go to Jiapigou or the militia company to find me."
Niu Erya said, "I'll go, I'll go. I'll come find you if something happens."
Niu Wannian also shook hands with Lu Yao reluctantly, though it was feigned friendliness, it was still out of respect and politeness.
Lu Yao and Yang Shouye came out and followed Er Ya to the brigade's cowshed.
There are two large spotted cows inside.
Niu Erya led a large one.
He flattered, "Company Commander Lu, this one is the big flower one, it produces a lot of milk. I'll take this one for you, and I'll say I took the wrong one later."
Lu Yao quickly stopped him: "No, no, I'm already grateful that Captain Niu lent it to me, don't make him angry. I can't be the kind of person who takes advantage of others."
After saying that, he took the little Erhua's hand and walked out.
Niu Erya offered her help: "Come on, I'll help you take her there. Erhua is being naughty."
He took the reins from Lu Yao's hand and looked at Lu Yao with eyes full of love.
Yang Shouye watched coldly from the side, cursing inwardly:
You little rascal, I think it would be easier for Lu Yao to lend you his services than to lend Niu Neng.
