Reborn in the 80s, Get Rich by Eating Melons-Chapter 729 Worry

Tong Yao knew that there must be a reason she was suddenly asking these questions, so Si Chen asked.

"Have you noticed anything amiss?"

Tong Yao shook her head, "Not particularly, just that this incident seems a bit odd. Maybe I’m overthinking it, but I always feel like, the beggar seems to know me, but I can’t recall where I have met him. On the same day, both my parents and I encountered him. Do you think that’s a coincidence? Isn’t it a bit too much of a coincidence?"

Si Chen furrowed his brows and thought for a moment, he said, "Your suspicions are not baseless, if it’s just an acquaintance that would be nothing to worry about, but we should be aware if he has bad intentions. Remind your parents to be cautious about their safety tomorrow, it’s always right to be cautious, and don’t overthink it, don’t tire yourself out."

As a doctor Si Chen, although he’s never had any medical accidents, he sometimes encounters unreasonable patients’ relatives. And Tong Yao, while running her business, inevitably offends some people, they just didn’t know who it was. In any case, it’s always better to be wary.

Tong Yao nodded, changing the subject, "Are you going to be very busy during this period? Get some rest soon!"

Si Chen gently stroked her hair, saying, "I’m not tired, don’t worry about me, take good care of yourself."

Si Chen is usually very busy and doesn’t have much time to manage the household. So whenever he has time, he tries to be with his family as much as possible. In his view, coming home from work each day to find his family happy and content was satisfying enough.

Tong Yao saw through Si Chen’s thoughts and joked, "Do all doctors live like this? Working and spending time with family, don’t you find such a life monotonous?"

Si Chen smiled faintly, "A simple life is a blessing."

Tong Yao squinted her eyes and smiled, "Indeed, simplicity is a blessing. However, life is better with some fun. I looked at houses today and have already paid the deposit. When you are free, I’ll take you to see the house and book the car as well. Buying a car is different from buying a house, you need to ensure it’s comfortable and handy for you." novelbuddy.cσ๓

"Alright." Si Chen nodded, "Currently, the hospital is having a commendation meeting, and there are doctors from other hospitals coming over for exchange. After these few days, I will accompany you to look at cars."

Upon hearing this, Tong Yao blinked, "Are you forgetting to tell me some good news?"

Over the years, Si Chen performed numerous complex surgeries, and his department was adorned with many banners. People from all over the country, even from abroad, came to him by reputation. Although he was not highly ranked, he was very popular. When the international medical community heard Si Chen’s name, they gave him the thumbs up.

Tong Yao knew about Si Chen’s future achievements, so she didn’t want to be someone who hindered his career. She never complained about him having little time to accompany her because of his work.

Si Chen fondly ruffled her hair, "Before returning to Li City, I performed a major surgery. The difficulty was quite high, with only a ten percent success rate. However, the surgery was successful, only the patient had not yet woken up, but he woke up today."

Upon hearing this, Tong Yao was even more excited than Si Chen. She said proudly, "Oh, won’t your reputation become even better this time? I guess others must regard you as the miracle doctor Si?"

"Not that exaggerated." Si Chen lightly laughed.

Tong Yao buried her head in his chest, hugging his waist, "How is it an exaggeration? You are the miracle doctor Si in my eyes. Oh, right, dad hasn’t had a medical check-up for a long time. No matter what I say, he won’t listen. Can you tell him tomorrow morning? Otherwise, he always brushes it off. Whenever I tell him, he just says he’s perfectly healthy and can eat and sleep well."

Si Chen nodded, "Hmm, don’t worry too much. The brain tumor in dad’s body is currently very stable. As long as it does not deteriorate, there’s no need for surgery. Elderly people recover slowly from major surgeries, so it’s best not to have one if it’s not absolutely necessary."

Hearing Si Chen say this, Tong Yao felt a bit more relieved. Seeing that it was already late, she hurriedly urged, "It’s late, we should go to bed now, or else it will be dawn before you get a few hours of sleep."

At Si Chen’s words, he pulled the quilt over Tong Yao, gently patting her shoulder as if lulling a child to sleep.

When she woke up, it was late in the morning. When Tong Yao got up, Si Chen and the child had gone to work or school. There was no one at home. She stretched lazily, freshened up, and went downstairs.

She had intended to drink a cup of milk tea, but just as she reached the store’s entrance, she saw Jian Jun helping Guo Miaomiao with her work while chatting with her. Their faces brimming with sweet smiles.

Seeing Tong Yao coming over, Guo Miaomiao’s face turned red, "Sister Yaoyao."

Jian Jun, having been running all over these years and interacting with many people, was extroverted. He didn’t feel shy, and openly called out, "Sister Yaoyao, what kind of milk tea do you want? I’ve learned how to make it, let me make you one."

"A cup of original flavor milk tea, please." Tong Yao sat down on the chair and teased him jokingly, "You’ve run all the way here to help on your day off, it must be tough."

Jian Jun glanced at Guo Miaomiao and laughed, "Sister Yaoyao, I am not at all tired, it’s my pleasure to be here with Miaomiao."

"Oh, stop it." Guo Miaomiao blushed, looking at him shyly and somewhat embarrassed.

Tong Yao laughed, "You’re far sweeter than Hongwei, who probably would have had children running all over the floor at this point."

Jian Jun blurted out, "I’m not keen on making Miaomiao wait for me for so many years, for fear that she might be taken away."

Love is blind, and this couldn’t be more true. Guo Miaomiao is very average, aside from being kind-hearted she doesn’t stand out.

By contrast, Jian Jun, being young and successful, is a favorite among girls.

Despite that, he was still worried that Guo Miaomiao could be taken away.

Given his tough life with no other family left, it was particularly hard to find someone he liked. He just wants to hold on to her, not to let her get away or get hurt.

Guo Miaomiao was so touched and shy that she didn’t dare lift her head.

Seeing her being so shy, Tong Yao stopped teasing them.

So she said, "Jinnian has already found a house. I guess her wedding with Hongwei is coming soon. If you two plan to wait a few more years, that’s also fine, but if you want to get married, you need to give us advanced notice so we can prepare the wedding."

As Jian Jun did not have parents, he would need Tong Yaohui and Wen Yun’s help. Guo Miaomiao’s parents, on the other hand, were largely absent, so in the end, it would still be up to Tong Yaohui and Wen Yun to take charge. That’s why Tong Yao asked so.

They feared they wouldn’t be able to handle it then.

Guo Miaomiao sneaked a glance at Jian Jun before quickly bowing her head again.

Jian Jun chuckled, "Sister Yaoyao, I want to get married as soon as possible. You all know me well after all these years. I really love Miaomiao so I hope we can get married soon. If possible, I’d prefer to hold the wedding together with Sister Jinnian."
