Chapter 2908

"Old Zhou?" Old Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Mr. Zhou Gui. We call him Old Zhou," Cheng Junnan said.

"Oh, it’s Old Zhou. His medical skills are quite good," Old Yuan said.

"Old Zhou is certainly good, but he specializes in orthopedics. He is not very skilled in internal medicine. He has said that only you, Old Yuan, are an expert in internal medicine," Cheng Junnan said seriously.

Old Yuan chuckled.

"Old Yuan, can I tell the higher-ups about your information?" Cheng Junnan was not ungrateful. If Old Yuan did not wish to see people, he would naturally keep this secret, even if it might bring him danger.

Old Yuan thought for a moment. "Let me think. I will tell you in two days."

"Okay." Cheng Junnan nodded, agreeing.

Cheng Junnan knew it was unrealistic to make Old Yuan decide immediately. However, the fact that Old Yuan was willing to consider it was a huge step forward. Therefore, Cheng Junnan was very pleased with this progress.

Cheng Junnan spent about half a month recovering in Yan Village.

Half a month later, although Cheng Junnan was not fully healed, he had recovered about seventy or eighty percent. He brought up the matter of adopting Yan Xiwan as his goddaughter again.

Yan Tieniu saw that Cheng Junnan was sincere. He said, "Becoming godparents is not a simple matter. Even if you agree, won’t your wife and family object?"

"Don’t worry," Cheng Junnan smiled. "My wife has always wanted a daughter. But since we had two sons, she was afraid the third would also be a boy, so she didn’t dare to have more. Now, if Guai Guai becomes my goddaughter, she probably won’t want to have more children."

So that was Cheng Junnan’s real purpose.

Most people believed that the more children, the better. It was unexpected that Cheng Junnan actually wanted fewer children.

Yan Tieniu looked at Cheng Junnan in surprise. Seeing Yan Tieniu’s expression, Cheng Junnan said, "Brother Aniu, you wonder why I don’t want her to have more. When she gave birth to our second son, she lost a lot of blood and almost died. Although she recovered, I was terrified.

To be honest, I already have two sons, so whether to have a third doesn’t matter much to me. But my wife still wants a daughter. So, if Guai Guai becomes my goddaughter, she will have something to look forward to, and won’t keep wanting to have another one."

Hearing Cheng Junnan’s words, Yan Tieniu gave him a thumbs-up. "Brother Junnan, you are a real man."

She then added, "Although I am unhappy about you trying to take my daughter as your own, seeing how much you cherish your wife shows you are a real man. I have no objection here, but I still need to tell my wife and daughter."

"Then go tell them quickly," Cheng Junnan urged eagerly.

Yan Tieniu chuckled. "You are stealing my daughter, and I have to go tell them for you? You have a big face."

"Yes, yes. You are the best brother in the world. So, brother, my future happiness is in your hands," Cheng Junnan said without feeling any awkwardness about asking Yan Tieniu to do the talking.

Yan Tieniu was speechless. Forget it. He didn’t want to deal with this thick-skinned person.

Back in the room, Yan Tieniu told Wang Suya about Cheng Junnan’s intention.

Wang Suya thought for a moment and said, "We need to talk to Guai Guai about this. You know she is smart for her age. If she agrees, I have no objection."

Yan Tieu nodded. "Of course, I will talk to Guai Guai. But I need to tell you first."

Wang Suya understood Yan Tieniu’s meaning, so she nodded. "Fine. I have no objection. As long as Guai Guai agrees, it is fine."

After learning Cheng Junnan’s idea, Yan Xiwan pondered for a moment and then nodded. "Okay. Then I will have another godfather and godmother."

Seeing that Yan Xiwan did not object, Yan Tieniu knew there would be no problem with Cheng Junnan.

Although Yan Tieniu seemed careless and unconcerned about Cheng Junnan, he was actually wary of him because Cheng Junnan was an outsider.

However, since Yan Xiwan agreed to accept Cheng Junnan as her godfather, it meant Cheng Junnan was definitely trustworthy.

For some reason, the Yan family had a mysterious trust in Yan Xiwan. They believed that if Yan Xiwan agreed, there would be absolutely no problem.

Yan Xiwan did not pay attention to this. She felt Cheng Junnan was nice, so having another relative to care for her was quite good.

In this regard, Yan Xiwan was quite Buddhist in nature.

Old Yuan finally agreed to go to the capital with Cheng Junnan.

Of course, Yan Xiwan would also go, mainly to meet her godmother.

Once Cheng Junnan confirmed that Yan Xiwan was willing to accept her as her godfather, she sent a telegram to her wife, Wang Yuanying. Wang Yuanying agreed without hesitation.

Seeing the two little devils at home, she naturally hoped for a well-behaved daughter.

Old Yuan was also satisfied with this arrangement. Although Yan Xiwan was very smart, she could not stop teaching her. Now that she was coming to the capital with her, although they would not be together long-term, she could at least plan her studies carefully during this time.

Of course, Yan Xiwan would not go to the capital alone. Yan Tieniu and Wang Suya would accompany her.

As Yan Xiwan’s biological parents, they naturally needed to be present for the godparent ceremony.

After setting the departure date, Yan Tieniu got a letter of introduction from Yan Tiezhu. Only with this letter and their household register could they buy train tickets.

However, Cheng Junnan handled the ticket purchase this time. Not many people were traveling, so the train was not crowded. Since they bought soft sleeper tickets, and Yan Xiwan did not need a ticket, they could have a private soft sleeper compartment. This ensured their safety and privacy.

It was Yan Xiwan’s first time riding a train. She knew that after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, she could fly using her innate magical treasures. But she had not reached that stage yet. She was only at the seventh level of Qi Condensation, so she could not fly.

Therefore, she was very curious about this mortal transportation method.

Sitting on the lower bunk, she looked out the window. Watching the scenery slowly recede was particularly interesting.

"Is Guai Guai happy?" Cheng Junnan asked with a smile, seeing Yan Xiwan’s curious expression.

She was still a child, so she was very curious about the train.

"Yes, I am very happy. It is my first time on a train," Yan Xiwan said. She did not feel ashamed of her lack of experience. Instead, she looked excited.

"Then come to the capital to visit your godfather often when you have time. Then you can ride the train frequently," Cheng Junnan said with a smile.

Old Yuan spoke up from the side. "What do you mean 'visit godfather'? Visiting her master is the correct thing to do."

Cheng Junnan paused. Well, he already knew Old Yuan was Yan Xiwan’s master. Master and godfather were technically equal, but Old Yuan was someone who needed special care.

Fine. He was younger, so he would yield to the senior. Cheng Junnan could only mutter this in his heart.

Yan Xiwan saw Cheng Junnan’s expression and said with a grin, "In the future, when I go to the capital, I will visit both Master and Godfather. Don’t worry, I won’t miss either."

Yan Xiwan said seriously, "But I will probably take more care of Master. Because I will support Master in his old age. Godfather has two glorious brothers, so I might neglect him a little in some ways."

She laughed happily after saying this.

The Glorious Brothers were Cheng Junnan’s sons, named Cheng Jianguang and Cheng Jianrong.

Old Yuan was very satisfied. "My disciple is good." He smiled proudly at Cheng Junnan.

Cheng Junnan understood why Yan Xiwan said this. Old Yuan was quite old now. Although he had a special agreement to enter the capital, his experiences during the recent disaster were heartbreaking.

If it were not for Yan Village and the Yan family, no one knew if he could have survived.

Such elderly people were most likely to lose hope because they saw no future.

But things were different now. Yan Xiwan was her disciple, meaning she was her successor. As long as her successor was not grown up, she could not give up on everything.

Understanding this, Cheng Junnan secretly praised her. His goddaughter truly had a heart as clever as seven orifices.

"Even though your godfather has two godsons, he has no daughter. You won’t just ignore me, will you?" Cheng Junnan acted pitiful.

"No," Yan Xiwan said quickly. "You are my godfather. How could I ignore you? But if I have to choose between Master and Godfather, I must take care of Master first, right, Master?"

Yan Xiwan said this with a grin to Old Yuan.

Old Yuan nodded naturally. "Yes, yes. Guai Guai is so right. I should be taken care of first."

"Fine, fine. Take care of you first," Cheng Junnan said helplessly.

Yan Tieniu said he had a thick face, but there was clearly someone with a thicker face than him.

The four adults and one child in the carriage were very warm and happy.

Trains were not fast at that time. It took seven days and seven nights to travel from their departure point to the capital.

At this moment, they heard someone outside shouting that food was for sale. Cheng Junnan said, "I will go buy food."

"Brother Junnan, buy less dishes. Before I came, I made diced sauce with home-cured chicken and meat. It goes well with rice," Wang Suya said. "If possible, you can buy a bowl of soup."

"Why buy soup? I will just get a bottle of hot water," Yan Tieniu said directly.

"Okay. Then you get the hot water, and I will buy the food," Cheng Junnan decided immediately.

Cheng Junnan and Yan Tieniu went out to do their respective tasks. It had to be said that their division of labor ensured the other three had no burden at all.

"Master, I don’t understand this prescription," Yan Xiwan said. Since there was nothing else to do, she decided to continue studying. She took out the points she didn’t understand from her daily studies and asked Old Yuan.

Old Yuan looked at the parts Yan Xiwan didn’t understand and carefully gave her the answers.
