Chapter 207: Meeting the Elders
Upon hearing Ding Yuejun’s words, Yiyi nodded with a smile and said, "Okay."
But by the next day, before Yiyi even decided what to do, Gu Tingyu showed up. "Brother Tingyu, why are you here?" Upon seeing Gu Tingyu, Yiyi’s eyes lit up as she looked at him.
Seeing the young girl’s happy expression, Gu Tingyu couldn’t help but smile.
"I heard your military training ended, and you can rest for two days, so I came to see you. How was the training?"
"It was fine; our instructor seemed to take special care of our class, so it wasn’t too tiring."
Hearing this, Gu Tingyu nodded, feeling he made the right arrangements. Otherwise, a whole month of military training would have been really exhausting. "That’s good."
As they spoke, he placed the fruits and health supplements he brought aside.
At this moment, Ding Yuejun also came out. Seeing that Gu Tingyu had brought so many things again, she couldn’t help but say, "Tingyu, I told you last time not to buy things when you come over."
"Aunt Ding, these fruits are very fresh. You and Yiyi can try them." As an inexperienced future son-in-law visiting, he couldn’t come empty-handed, so he naturally didn’t listen to Ding Yuejun and bought a lot of things anyway.
Seeing Gu Tingyu say this, Ding Yuejun didn’t say more and directly started cutting the fruits.
"Brother Tingyu, are you off today?"
Yiyi chatted with Gu Tingyu while eating fruit.
Seeing the young girl with juice on the corners of her mouth, Gu Tingyu wiped it for her with a handkerchief, then nodded and said, "Yes, I’m off today. Do you have time later?"
"Yes, I do."
Yiyi nodded directly and then asked, "Is there something you need?"
"I want to take you to meet my grandparents. Do you want to go?"
Hearing this, Yiyi couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous, "Are we going today?"
Seeing Yiyi like this, Gu Tingyu couldn’t help but laugh and said, "You don’t need to be nervous. You’ve already met my grandma; she’s a very kind old lady. Although my grandpa doesn’t talk much and seems a bit strict, he’s actually nice and easy to get along with. You’ll definitely like him."
Yiyi still hesitated a bit, thinking the progress was a bit fast, but seeing the faint desire in Gu Tingyu’s eyes, she nodded and said, "Alright, then let’s go together later."
Seeing Yiyi agree, Gu Tingyu was overjoyed.
"Great, then let’s head over later. Grandma said we’ll have lunch there."
"Okay."
On the other side, Fei Erya, seeing how Yiyi and Gu Tingyu were getting along, couldn’t help but quietly pull Ding Yuejun aside and ask, "Aunt Ding, I... I think Yiyi and Brother Gu seem to be... getting a bit too close." The two of them weren’t like this before, but today they seemed much closer than before.
Hearing this, Ding Yuejun remembered that Fei Erya didn’t know, so she whispered to her, "Yiyi and Tingyu are dating now, so... it’s only natural that they’re closer."
"Ah..."
Fei Erya was full of surprise. It had only been a month since she last saw Yiyi, and now Yiyi already had a boyfriend.
"When... when did this happen?"
"Just around the time you all registered." Ding Yuejun thought about her daughter getting married in the future, feeling a bit uneasy. However, seeing her daughter so happy, she also felt joyous, resulting in very conflicting feelings.
While the two were talking, Yiyi came over and started talking to her mother about going to Gu Tingyu’s grandparents’ house.
"Are you going over in a bit?"
Ding Yuejun didn’t expect Gu Tingyu to plan to introduce Yiyi to his family so quickly. But this showed his seriousness, meaning he’s committed to Yiyi. "Then you guys should head over soon, but wait for a moment, let me prepare some things. You mustn’t visit empty-handed."
"Okay."
By the time Ding Yuejun was ready, Yiyi had also prepared some things. She prepared two bottles of Rongzhi Pill for Mr. Gu and Old Mrs. Gu, and also some ginseng slices for the two elders, all of which were high-quality products with great effects.
Seeing what Yiyi had prepared, Ding Yuejun couldn’t help but nod and say, "Yes, these are perfect for the two elders. This ginseng slice is also great; since you had me drink it, I feel much more refreshed."
"Mom, as long as you like it, I’ll make more for you after you finish it."
These ginseng slices weren’t just made from Wild Ginseng alone. Yiyi also added some tonic medicines, making them more effective.
"Alright, go set off with Tingyu now so as not to keep the elders waiting."
Hearing this, Yiyi nodded, then set off with Gu Tingyu.
When Grandma Gu saw her grandson finally bring Yiyi over, she beamed and said, "Tingyu, Yiyi, you’re finally here. Come, sit inside."
Yiyi greeted Grandma Gu with a smile, "Hello, Grandma Gu."
"Oh... hello, hello."
After Yiyi entered the house, she saw a stern-looking old man sitting on the sofa. Realizing this must be Gu Tingyu’s grandpa, she quickly greeted him, "Hello, Grandpa Gu."
Mr. Gu’s expression softened at Yiyi’s greeting and he nodded at her.
"Oh dear, old man, don’t keep such a stern face; you’ve scared Yiyi."
Mr. Gu glanced at his wife upon hearing this and said, "I’m always like this."
"It’s fine if you’re like this with us, but you should smile for Yiyi."
Seeing this, Gu Tingyu couldn’t help but say, "Grandma, that’s just how grandpa is; don’t force him."
Mr. Gu nodded at his grandson, but then tried to maintain a kinder expression.
"Grandpa, Grandma, Yiyi specially prepared these for you. You can make tea with the ginseng slices. The Rongzhi Pill she made is very effective; you can take one each night before sleeping, it’s good for your health." Having experienced the effects of Yiyi’s medicine himself, he was confident in their benefits.
Seeing the grandparents not paying much attention, Gu Tingyu continued, "These Rongzhi Pills, after being refined, cost three thousand yuan each. Don’t underestimate them, remember to take them every night."
"What... that expensive?"
Grandma Gu was full of surprise, carefully examining the small porcelain bottle and then quickly putting it away. "I’ll have to savor them slowly; such a good thing can’t be wasted."
Mr. Gu was equally astonished but still felt a bit doubtful.
"Yiyi, I heard you’ve just been accepted to the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and you can already refine medicine pills?"
"Grandpa, Yiyi already knew how to do these things, which is why she chose the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Otherwise, with her grades, she could have almost applied to Jing University or Hua University." Gu Tingyu then recounted Yiyi’s opening her clinic and the popularity of her medicine pills.
