Chapter 90 Relics

  After the excitement, Lu Jianhong calmed down and said to Xiao Ye with a serious face: "Xiao Ye, thank you. I know that without you, Secretary Wan wouldn't have chosen me as his secretary."

  Lu Jianhong knew that if it weren't for Xiao Ye's relationship, he would never have gone to be Secretary Wan's secretary, even if his own father was the vice mayor of the same city. Perhaps because of his father's reasons, Secretary Wan wouldn't even consider him. After all, a secretary knows many secrets about their leader. But if his father had a good relationship with Secretary Wan, it might have been possible. However, the two men didn't have any private relationship.

  Lu Jianhong was born into an official family, and naturally knew more about the system. However, when he first received the phone call, he was too excited to think of this point. After calming down, he thought that it was because of his younger brother-in-law. Not only did Secretary Wan come to his son's full-month celebration, but he was also very polite, and his wife even gave an extremely expensive gift. It can be seen that Secretary Wan's family attaches great importance to his younger brother-in-law.

  "Brother-in-law, we're a family and shouldn't speak in two different ways. Admittedly, Secretary Wan choosing you as his secretary might have something to do with me, but if you weren't capable, even if my connections were strong, Secretary Wan wouldn't have chosen you as his secretary!"

  Xiao Yu saw Lu Jianhong's serious face and quickly stood up. Xiao Yu had no idea that Wan Hongguang would do this, but seeing his sister and brother-in-law's happy faces, he was also happy for them. He knew that his sister had always felt indebted to her husband because of his studies, and now she would feel better.

  "Xiao Hong, quickly sit down and eat, we are all family, why be so polite!" Xiao Jianying said as she saw the two being polite.

  "Xiao Yu, go get another bowl and chopsticks!" Xiao Jianying said to Xiao Yu.

  "Right, right, brother-in-law, take a seat!" Xiao Yu said and then refilled Lu Jianhong's wine cup.

  "Come on, Xiaoyu, let's just drop it. Brother-in-law will give you a toast!" After sitting down, Lu Jianhong picked up the full cup of wine in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.

  Xiao Ye knew that if he didn't let his brother-in-law Lu Jianhong drink this cup of wine, he would always feel uneasy in his heart. So, without being polite, after Lu Jianhong finished drinking, he also picked up the wine in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.

  "Is this Maotai? How come it's different from what I've had before, the aroma is much stronger?" Lu Jianhong put down his wine cup, smacked his lips and said with a face full of aftertaste.

  Xiao Yu nodded and smacked his lips, although he hadn't had many Maotai before, but he could feel the difference, especially in Zhong Kui's memory, among all the wines he had drunk, today's wine was the most fragrant and mellow.

  "Hehe, this was left by your grandfather, it's said to be Maotai, but it has been stored for several decades!" Xiao Jianying explained with a smile after hearing the two say it tastes good.

  The laughter of Xiao Yu's family came from the dinner table from time to time, and Xiao Yu occasionally gave dishes to her husband and brother. Looking at the whole family sitting together in a circle, Xiao Yu was very satisfied. She didn't have any big ideals, just wanting the whole family to be harmonious, beautiful, peaceful, and safe.

  Especially my younger brother, although he is only a few minutes younger than me, but the younger brother who has been taken care of since childhood has grown up and no longer needs to be taken care of. My husband's ideal is to make a career in his official career, and now he also has a good start.

  Since her son's full moon, her status in her mother-in-law's home has changed dramatically. Not only does her mother-in-law always smile at her, but even her father-in-law stops to chat with her when he sees her, which is something she never dared to imagine before.

  After dinner, Lu Jianhong wanted to go tell his father the good news, so he took Xiao Yu and left the Xiao family.

  "Xiao Yu, come with me for a moment!" Xiao Jianying said seriously to Xiao Yu who was sitting at the consultation desk reading a book after finishing her household chores.

  Xiao Yu was taken aback by his mother's words and saw her looking at him with a serious face, he suddenly thought "What's going on? Has my mother discovered something?"

  However, Xiao Yu, who had always listened to his mother since he was a child, put down the book and followed her to the backyard. When he saw his mother leading him towards his grandfather's room before he passed away, he thought to himself, "Why is my mother bringing me here?" Since his grandfather's passing, his mother had sealed off the room and no one was allowed in, not even Xiao Yu who had always been by his side since childhood.

  The mother opened the door of her father's house and took Xiao Yu in. After entering the room, Xiao Yu saw that everything inside was still the same as when his grandfather was alive, and it was very clean, indicating that someone had been sweeping regularly.

  "Xiao Yu, kneel down!" Xiang Jianying walked with Xiao Yu to the front of his father's memorial tablet, lit an incense stick and said seriously.

  Xiao Yu was full of curiosity about why his mother had brought him here, especially since she had never allowed him to enter his grandfather's room again after his grandfather's death.

  Xiao Yu was curious, but he didn't hesitate at all and knelt down in front of his grandfather's spirit tablet to kowtow three times.

  "Xiaoyu, are you willing to inherit your grandfather's legacy?" asked Xiao Jianying seriously as he stood beside his son who was kowtowing on the ground.

  Xiao Yu heard his mother's question, and he was stunned. His grandfather used to ask him this question all the time when he was alive, but he always answered "unwilling" because he didn't like medicine.

  Every time Grandfather heard him say he was unwilling, he would be disappointed. At that time, what Xiao Yu hated the most was medicine. Although he always said he was unwilling, Grandfather's disappointment did not deter him from learning his medical skills.

  At that time, Xiao Ye might have been in a rebellious phase. The more you wanted me to study medicine, the less I was willing to become a doctor, and as a result, even when my grandfather was dying, he didn't get to hear me say that I would inherit his legacy.

  At this time, Xiao Yu heard his mother's same question again. At this time, Xiao Yu had gradually matured and also gradually liked medicine a bit more. Thinking back to the bits and pieces of following his grandfather to learn medicine, Xiao Yu slowly raised his head, his eyes filled with determination, and said loudly: "I'm willing!"

  "Alright, alright, Father, did you hear that? Xiao Yu has agreed, he has agreed!" Xia Jianying said with tears streaming down her face after hearing Xiao Yu agree.

  Xiao Yu saw his mother's appearance and thought of the trivial matters of living with his grandfather, and he couldn't help but feel a sour nose, and tears fell down.

  Xiao Jianying, with tears streaming down her face, pulled out a box from under the bed and handed it to Xiao Yu, saying: "This is the legacy left behind by your grandfather. I was waiting for you to agree to inherit the Xiao family's legacy before giving it to you. If I die before you agree, then let this box be buried with me! Now, I'm giving it to you."

  Seeing her son take the box, Xiao Jianying walked out of the room, gently closed the door, looked at the clear sky outside and took a deep breath, revealing a brilliant smile.

  Xiao Yu opened the trunk left by his grandfather, and there were only two things inside: a letter and his grandfather's medical box. The medical box was made of cowhide and had a long rectangular shape with a strap on it. Except for a red five-pointed star on the outside, there were no other markings on the box. Although this medical box looked like an ordinary barefoot doctor's medical box, its interior was different. Inside his grandfather's medical box, there were dozens of small compartments of various sizes to hold medicine and medical supplies.

  This medical box was often seen by Xiao Yu, inside which were all of his grandfather's medical supplies. Unexpectedly, his grandfather had passed it down to him. At this time, Xiao Yu didn't look at the medical box again, but instead picked up the letter. On the envelope was written 'To my grandson Xiao Yu'. Xiao Yu was taken aback, not having expected that this letter was left for him by his grandfather. Xiao Yu tore open the envelope and took out the letter to read it.

  Xiao Yu, when you open this letter, Grandpa is probably no longer around, but the fact that you can see this letter means that you have already agreed to inherit the Xiao family legacy...

  Xiao Yu looked at the letter left by his grandfather and didn't expect that the Xiao family had also experienced a glorious history. The Xiao family was once a traditional Chinese medicine family, spanning the Ming and Qing dynasties, with countless imperial physicians and national masters emerging from it. During the war years, because Grandfather went to participate in the revolution, he was reported by traitors, resulting in the Xiao family being destroyed and only Grandfather survived. This is also one of the reasons why Grandfather attaches so much importance to the inheritance of the Xiao family.

  Xiao Yu's heart gradually understood why his grandfather, who was so open-minded, would attach such importance to the inheritance of the Xiao family. It turned out that Grandfather had always been filled with remorse towards the Xiao family in his heart.

  Xiao Yu's grandfather Xiao Jinsong was 58 years old when Xiao Yu's mother was born, and he only had this one daughter. He originally wanted his daughter to inherit his legacy, but she didn't have the talent, so she couldn't fully take over his legacy. It wasn't until Xiao Yu was born that he discovered Xiao Yu was clever and talented, with a natural gift. From a young age, Xiao Jinsong cultivated Xiao Yu as the successor of the Xiao family. However, for some reason, Xiao Yu just didn't like studying medicine. With no other choice, he could only have Xiao Yu memorize the Xiao family's medical techniques first, hoping that one day he would change his mind and come back to it.

  Xiao Yu looked at the letter with tears in his eyes, shaking his head and revealing a bitter smile. Xiao Yu continued to look at the letter, finishing the last sentence, Xiao Yu was stunned, touching the tattoo on his chest, which was made by his grandfather before he died. The letter said that this tattoo is one of a kind, representing a group of brothers who can trust each other with their lives and deaths. There was also a secret method for making the ink used in this tattoo, to be passed down from generation to generation.

  Xiao Yu finished reading the letter and memorized the secret formula, then burned the letter and walked out of his grandfather's room with his medical box on his back.

  ………………..

  Ten days later, Xiao Yu stood at the door and bid farewell to his mother and sister, embarking on a journey to the deep sea.

  For the past ten days, Xiao Yu has been either helping his mother see patients at the clinic or sitting in his grandfather's room reading books. Occasionally, he would make a phone call to Yun Xi and spend his days leisurely, until last night when Wei Jun called him at 3 am asking him to rush back to Shen Hai to save someone, which disrupted Xiao Yu's peaceful life.

  Xiao Yu asked Wei Jun on the phone what was going on, but he hesitated and didn't say anything, insisting that Xiao Yu had to go there in person before he would talk, and even then, Wei Jun guaranteed it was a matter of life and death concerning him.

  Jingcheng Airport, due to the urgency of the Wei army, Xiao Ye had no choice but to take a plane to the deep sea. After a series of procedures, Xiao Ye finally boarded the plane bound for the deep sea.
