Entering the private room, only then did Zhou Hao realize that it wasn't just Xiao Nanyue and Xiao Jiming, the father and son pair, but also five young men who weren't even thirty years old yet.
Beside Xiao Jiming sat a beautiful woman who looked to be around twenty years of age. Zhou Hao recognized the girl, she was Xiao Jiming's high school friend Du Yi Jun, who was currently working in the Xiao family's pharmacy.
His brother, Du Fenghai, had his limbs crippled by Zhou Hao previously because he hurt Yan Qingqing, and was sentenced to twenty years in prison later on.
Seeing that Zhou Hao and Yan Qing had arrived, Xiao Nanyue and Xiao Jiming were extremely happy. But when they saw that Zhou Hao and Yan Qing's fingers were interlocked with each other, Xiao Jiming immediately revealed a surprised expression.
He thought that since Yan Qing was Zhou Hao's cousin, it wasn't strange for the two of them to be a little closer to each other. However, even if they were siblings, they shouldn't have linked their fingers like a couple.
Zhou Hao looked at Xiao Jiming's stunned expression with a light smile, and his heart was not at ease either.
Therefore, he braced himself and walked forward. Zhou Hao also smiled at Xiao Nanyue and Xiao Jiming, ”Senior Brother, Jiming, you're finally back.”
”Martial Uncle, you followed Qingqing …” Xiao Jiming stared at their tightly clasped hands.
”Jiming, we had actually wanted to tell you about this a long time ago.” Zhou Hao said: ”Cousin Qingqing and I were together a long time ago.”
Hearing that, the surprise on Xiao Jiming's face became even deeper. Seeing that Qing Qing did not deny it, he laughed bitterly: ”So that's how it is, no wonder Qing Qing … Hehe, I thought she was Yijun's older brother, but it turns out that the person in her heart is you.
Martial Uncle, you are really something, why didn't you tell me this earlier, causing me to be befuddled for so long. ”
When Zhou Hao saw that Xiao Jiming was not as excited as he had imagined, and instead had a very calm appearance, he heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. ”Jiming, you don't blame us?”
”What can I blame you for?” Xiao Jiming shook his head: ”This kind of relationship is something that cannot be forced in the first place, moreover, I have already thought it through.
After hearing Xiao Jiming's words, the knot in Zhou Hao's and Yan Qingqing's heart was finally lifted. Yan Qingqing also sincerely said: ”Big Brother Xiao, thank you.”
The few men who were at the side suddenly heard that they had this kind of dispute, were also very surprised, but they did not say anything, as that was not something they could interrupt, while Du Yi Jun looked at Xiao Jiming with a gentle expression.
Xiao Nanyue also laughed: ”That's fine too, Xiao Hao is my junior brother and Qingqing is his cousin. If you really end up together with Qingqing, then wouldn't your seniority be in chaos?”
Xiao Jiming smiled at Zhou Hao and Yue Yang, ”Actually, I also have something I need to tell you two. This time, when I came back with father, it was not only to rest, but also to do something.”
He reached out his hands and linked it with Du Yi Jun, lightly saying to Zhou Hao and Yan Luo, ”I want to marry Yi Jun now.”
Zhou Hao and Yan Qing were both shocked, seeing the intimate look on their faces, they then realised, Zhou Hao was also very happy that Xiao Jiming was able to pull out of the quagmire so quickly. Seems like Du Yi Jun had played a big role, he sincerely congratulated them.
After the knots in their hearts were gone, the few of them were overjoyed. Xiao Nanyue then introduced the few men to Zhou Hao, ”Xiao Hao, we met the five of them while we were searching for medicinal herbs.
They were both talented people in traditional Chinese medicine, and two of them were experts in collecting mountain herbs. They were very adept at identifying and finding mountain herbs.
The five of them are all under our tutelage now. ”
Finished speaking, he turned to the five men and said: ”Hurry up and meet your Martial Uncle.”
The five of them immediately stood up and bowed deeply to Zhou Hao.
The five of them were the same as Xiao Jiming, none of them were younger than him, but now, they were all Zhou Hao's junior nephew. Zhou Hao was already used to seeing such seniority problems, but his expression was actually a little awkward, thinking to herself, wouldn't I become their Martial Uncle's mother?
With regards to Xiao Nanyue accepting these five disciples, Zhou Hao was also very much in favor of them, because Xiao Nanyue and the rest needed to look for those herbs scattered throughout the country. It was always good to have a few people helping them, and in the future, when Zhou Hao's Medicinal Group was established, there would definitely be talented people in Chinese medicine.
After that, Xiao Nanyue and Xiao Jiming started to discuss the results of their search, only to hear Xiao Jiming saying, ”Martial Uncle, we've found most of the medicinal ingredients that you told us to look for, only a small portion of them have gone missing.
Our guess is that those medicinal herbs are most likely extinct. ”
With regards to this result, Zhou Hao could still understand, because with the development of humans, many plants and animals have already become extinct. It was already very rare for Xiao Jiming and the others to find a large portion of the herbs.
Xiao Jiming passed over a piece of information to Zhou Hao: ”This is information about those medicinal herbs that we have prepared, including the living environment and various characteristics that they need.
Martial Uncle, amongst these ingredients, some of them are already very rare, at most ten years. After ten years, they will probably become extinct, so we have to nurture them manually as soon as possible.
