Chapter 51: Inquiring About News
Since he had news about Luo Jun, Qin Huai naturally had to inquire clearly.
He didn't know until he asked, and once he asked, Old Man Luo was quite famous in the neighborhood.
Luo Jun, male, 92 years old, was a famous long-lived elder and irritable old man in the neighborhood.
No children, no relatives, no worries, but he had money and was one of the first residents of Cloud Residential Complex. Two years ago, when his legs and feet were still okay, he would go out to spray people. These past two years, perhaps because he was really old, he basically didn't go out, and his daily necessities were bought by a nanny.
Qin Huai hadn't seen Luo Jun, but Qin Huai actually saw Luo Jun's nanny every day. She bought buns punctually at 9 o'clock every morning, dim sum punctually at 10 o'clock, and squatted for buns punctually at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. In a sense, Luo Jun was also a loyal customer of Cloud Cafeteria.
As for Chen Huihong and Dr. Qu, who were relatively familiar with Luo Jun, they didn't actually know much about Luo Jun either.
Dr. Qu was a doctor in the Department of Neurology at a famous private hospital, focusing on Alzheimer's disease.
According to Chen Huihong, although Luo Jun was old and had illnesses everywhere, he insisted on not going to the hospital or seeing a doctor. It was only when he showed relatively serious forgetfulness two years ago that he suspected he had Alzheimer's and went to the hospital to register.
The one who saw him at the time was Dr. Qu.
After Dr. Qu's professional diagnosis, the probability of Luo Jun having Alzheimer's wasn't very high; he might just be old and not very good at remembering things. Considering Luo Jun's age, Dr. Qu suggested he go for a full-body physical examination.
Luo Jun obediently went, and then a week later went to the hospital to register for Dr. Qu's number again, insisting he was sick.
Dr. Qu kindly persuaded him to go back.
The next week, Luo Jun went to the hospital to register again.
"Old Man Luo wouldn't really have Alzheimer's, would he?" Hearing this, Qin Huai couldn't help but ask.
This forgetfulness was too great; he forgot even after seeing a doctor.
Chen Huihong took a sip of hand-shaken lemon tea to moisten her throat and said: "How is that possible? He's just tossing Yunzhong Xiaoqu around, feeling that Yunzhong Xiaoqu's diagnosis wasn't attentive, insisting he was sick when he clearly wasn't."
Qin Huai scratched his head in confusion.
This......
Was the personality of this new side quest object really a bit strange? Was the tangerine peel tea he loved really the tangerine peel tea that suited the public taste?
"And then?" Qin Huai asked.
"What could Yunzhong Xiaoqu do? Their hospital is a private hospital with high prices and good service, focusing on using thoughtful service to make patients feel comfortable. Old Luo insisted he was sick and wouldn't listen no matter how she persuaded him, and Yunzhong Xiaoqu couldn't not see him."
"Yunzhong Xiaoqu's hospital's rehabilitation and nursing department is quite famous. Old Luo handled long-term hospitalization there, paying the money without going, and the only requirement was to let Yunzhong Xiaoqu come to his home for regular check-ups."
"Isn't this using Dr. Qu as a physical examination doctor?" Ouyang couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes." Chen Huihong nodded. "But Yunzhong Xiaoqu herself doesn't care much about these things. And Old Luo, although he has a bad temper, a strange personality, and is sometimes a bit irritable and likes to satirize people, you can't say he's a bad person."
"He gives people the feeling of being like a young master from a feudal family in the early years—arrogant, looking down on many people from the bottom of his heart, and never bothering to cover it up."
Ouyang nodded frantically, clearly feeling deeply about it.
"So, if you really insist on visiting Old Luo with us, if Old Luo says anything unpleasant, just treat it as wind in your ears, listen and let it pass, forget it immediately. Don't take it to heart; he's not targeting you alone; he's basically like this to everyone." Chen Huihong gave a preventive injection. "If you really can't get over it, you can send him Seven-Herb Dampness-Removing Tea."
"I chatted with Yunzhong Xiaoqu at the nursing home two days ago and talked about your cafeteria's herbal tea. Yunzhong Xiaoqu said that Seven-Herb Dampness-Removing Tea is indeed good for the elderly's body in this weather."
Qin Huai had reason to suspect that Old Man Luo might have offended Chen Huihong too. "Dr. Qu even works at the nursing home on weekdays." Qin Huai sighed.
"Doing volunteer work, I said, Yunzhong Xiaoqu is a very good person. She has contact with many elderly people and is very patient with them." Chen Huihong smiled, as if remembering something. "Speaking of which, Yunzhong Xiaoqu should have topics to talk about with you, Xiao Qin; she is also from a children's welfare institute."
Qin Huai was surprised. He grew up in a children's welfare institute. Although he was later adopted by Qin Congwen and his wife, Qin Huai knew the environment and financial resources of the children's welfare institute best.
A doctor in the Department of Neurology at a private hospital who came from a welfare institute—this was simply the welfare institute emitting blue smoke.
If their welfare institute could have such an excellent graduate, Principal Qin would probably be happy to pull a banner.
"Then how did you know..."
Chen Huihong smiled: "Yunzhong Xiaoqu was a student I sponsored, from the third year of high school all the way to her doctoral graduation, a full 11 years. Yunzhong Xiaoqu was also promising."
"Later, Yunzhong Xiaoqu worked and had extra money, saying she wanted to pay back the money sponsored in the previous 11 years. I let her keep that money and donate it to the welfare institute, which is also giving back to society. Yunzhong Xiaoqu listened, and she has sponsored quite a few children in these few years."
"Oh right." Chen Huihong took a physical examination card out of her pocket. "This is the physical examination card for their hospital that Yunzhong Xiaoqu stuffed into my hand when I met her two days ago, saying all items can be done. I remember your dad's waist isn't very good; I saw him standing and rubbing his waist yesterday. Go for a full-body physical examination; don't neglect small problems."
Qin Huai didn't expect that the trend of stuffing cards had spread from Ouyang to Chen Huihong. He hesitated for a moment and accepted: "Thank you, Sister Hong."
"Small matter, what's there to thank." Chen Huihong finished the hand-shaken lemon tea and stood up. "Xiao Ou told me that you have also started to be enthusiastic about public welfare and want to go see Old Luo with us; I'm too happy to be happy."
"Huihui's painting class is about to end, I have to go pick her up, leaving first. I'll bring Huihui to eat buns tomorrow. Last night Huihui told me at home that she hadn't eaten buckwheat buns for two days and missed them a bit."
"No problem, Sister Hong, just bring Huihui over tomorrow. By the way, Sister Hong, I have one more thing I want to ask, do you have Old Man Luo's WeChat?" Qin Huai also stood up.
Chen Huihong took out her phone, flipped through it, and found Luo Jun's WeChat to push to Qin Huai.
Qin Huai looked, WeChat name, 【Butterfly】, avatar was also a butterfly, a small yellow butterfly.
Although Old Man Luo was already 92, his WeChat name was quite artistic.
"Old Man Luo likes butterflies." Qin Huai sighed.
"Yes." Ouyang was still sitting, nodding. "He has many butterfly specimens at home, all yellow butterflies."
"Qin Huai, what are you making today?"
"I've been eating your locust flower buns for a while and found they really have a unique flavor. Are you making them today? If so, give me a few more; I'll keep them for dinner."
Qin Huai:......
Not brother.
Your taste is truly unique.
You've even fallen in love with C-grade buns.
