Chapter 243: 243 How about sending this goji berry to Chuan City?_1

Hearing this, Ji Chu’s face beamed with happiness.

Children are indeed more simple-minded; unlike adults, they don’t think that the more expensive things are the better.

In their eyes, only Mom and Dad are the best!

"Alright, if we don’t go back now, the food will really get cold," Uncle Guang said with a smile.

Carrying delicious food but not being able to eat it is indeed a torment.

With Uncle Guang saying this, the four of them continued on their way to the hospital.

By this time, Ji Guangsheng had long since gotten up and was sitting by the window chatting with Wu Shuhui over tea, with sunlight streaming through the window. It all looked very cozy.

Seeing the four of them push the door open, Wu Shuhui stood up with a smile, her face filled with happiness.

"Oh my, thanks to Gu Chen’s care, Dad can now sit by the window and enjoy tea after just a few days!"

This might not seem like much to a healthy person, but for someone like Ji Guangsheng, who had trouble even staying awake every day, being able to sit by the window and drink a cup of tea was truly an exciting change.

Even Ji Guangsheng, who rarely praised others, couldn’t help but speak up.

"Gu Chen really has a knack for cooking. Eating more has even improved my spirit a lot. It’s just that it must be very tiring, taking care of an old man like me and also managing your own affairs."

According to his daughter, Gu Chen was really busy. He was so busy yet still remembered to cook for him, which truly seemed laborious.

Gu Chen smiled at Ji Guangsheng, "You are Pian Ran’s father, and that makes you my father, too. Taking care of you is the right thing to do, so there’s no need for politeness."

Although Ji Guangsheng was not related to him by blood, he was his wife’s father. If he loved her, he had to treat her family as well as his own.

At this moment, Wu Shuhui’s heart was filled with joy, and the smile on her face never faded.

She walked over and took the lunch boxes from Uncle Guang’s hands, opened them, and placed them on the table.

Upon seeing the variety of dishes inside, she couldn’t help but look at Gu Chen in surprise.

"Ah, I heard from Dad you started cooking just an hour ago. To be able to make so many dishes in such a short time must have been really hard."

Stir-fried lettuce, Ginseng Black Chicken Soup, ribs, and even Emperor crabs.

Every dish looked appetizing in both color and scent.

The mere smell was enough to whet one’s appetite.

Moreover, that Ginseng Black Chicken Soup must have taken quite some time to simmer.

Gu Chen had really put a lot of effort into this.

Having said that, she looked down at the little bok choy and noticed something white and flaky, like petals, and asked curiously, "What is this?"

Gu Chen walked over, looked into the plate, and began helping while explaining.

"This is raw pinellia. Fresh pinellia is very good for reducing swelling and it tastes nice. But this is specially for Dad."

Ji Guangsheng had been moving very little, and because of daily IV drips, he was somewhat swollen.

When a person swells up, it’s not just unattractive, it’s also bad for their health. Eating more pinellia can help with diuresis and reducing swelling.

It’s also beneficial for Ji Guangsheng’s condition.

In food therapy, it’s essential to include medicinal herbs that benefit the patient’s health without compromising the taste.

That’s how one can recover faster.

Otherwise, what’s the difference between him and a chef?

Upon hearing this, Wu Shuhui nodded repeatedly. After these few days of interaction, she couldn’t be more satisfied with this son-in-law.

They say a woman who can grace a hall and run a kitchen is hard to find.

But a man who can do both is indeed a real treasure!

For her daughter to marry Gu Chen was truly a blessing for their family!

After opening all the lunch boxes, Gu Chen walked over to the window to push Ji Guangsheng’s wheelchair, softly reminding him.

"After eating, you have to go out and soak up some sun, not only to get your calcium but also because the fresh air can put you in a good mood,"

Gu Chen spoke as if he was cajoling Tangtang.

People always say ’old babies’, but in Gu Chen’s eyes, Ji Guangsheng was the very definition of an ’old baby’.

Even though this ’old baby’ always kept quiet, acting profound and aloof.

At first, Gu Chen was indeed a bit intimidated by Ji Guangsheng.

But after interacting with him for the past couple of days, Gu Chen realized that Ji Guangsheng wasn’t that scary after all.

He still looked imposing and bore an air of authority, even when not angry.

However, Gu Chen noticed that when confronted with dishes he liked, Ji Guangsheng would keep his eyes on that particular dish and sneak a few bites quietly.

He feared others might perceive weakness in him, so no matter how frail he felt, he’d always do his best to sit up straight.

Although this might just have been his way of showing stoicism, it was these little details that made Gu Chen feel Ji Guangsheng wasn’t so intimidating, and that he was a genuine, real person.

Ji Guangsheng’s eyebrows twitched slightly, not expecting Gu Chen to talk to him in such a manner.

Surprised and amused, he turned his head to look at Gu Chen, speaking slowly, "The way you’re talking sounds like you’re coaxing Tangtang. What, are you treating me like a child too?"

Gu Chen pushed him to the dining table, then laughed, "Because sometimes Tangtang and you really do have some similarities, so maybe I unconsciously just..."

At those words, a glimmer flashed through Ji Guangsheng’s dim eyes.

He followed suit and laughed as well.

This cheeky boy, suggesting that he’s as childish as Tangtang!

In his half a lifetime, Gu Chen was the first one bold enough to joke with him like this!

But strangely, once that was said, their relationship somehow closed the distance even more.

"You rascal," Ji Guangsheng said with a mix of laughter and helplessness.

Gu Chen took the gift box he had mentioned earlier and placed it in Ji Guangsheng’s hands.

"Dad, these are the goji berries I sold before. They’ve now been made into high-grade nourishment products. I brought some along for you to try and see how effective they are."

Honestly, if this were from anyone else, Ji Guangsheng might not even bother looking and would have Uncle Guang take it back right away, but since it was from his son-in-law, especially something he sold, he ought to examine it closely.

Doing a thorough check was a good thing after all.

Ji Guangsheng slowly opened the packaging, looking over it carefully.

"The ebony material is of high quality, and a lot of thought went into this packaging," he commented.

He then opened the wooden box in his hand, where neat rows of dried goji berries were placed. The goji berries had been carefully selected before being air-dried into large, pure deep red fruits; they indeed looked very high-end.

He nodded approvingly, "Good, these berries are air-dried, not sun-dried."

Goji berries contain a lot of vitamins. If sun-dried, they would lose some of their nutritional value and darken in color due to the high temperatures they’re exposed to over time.

But air-drying is different.

Each berry was a genuine Chinese red, very beautiful in color.

Ji Guangsheng was quite pleased with the goji berries.

He pinched one and tasted it carefully; the texture was great, sweet but not cloying, not at all shriveled, and the dryness was just right. Most crucially, it even had a lingering fragrance.

A fruity aroma filled his mouth, deliciously good.

Having worked with medicinal products for so many years, he had picked who knows how many goji berries himself—they were just a health supplement.

Not even a high-end one at that.

But to turn goji berries into this level of product, Gu Chen was the first one.
