Chapter 251 What they considered ordinary, she treasured like a precious gem.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xianya immediately thought of Xia Yuhuan's situation.

Xia Yuhuan was abandoned by her biological father at a young age, and her biological mother and grandfather were killed by her biological father. It can be said that she has never enjoyed parental love since childhood.

It's normal for her, who has lacked some family affection, to be moved by what she considers an ordinary family bond.

She softened her voice and said, "Silly child, haven't I told you before? Now that you've married into our family, you're a member of the Chi family."

“We are your family, and it’s only natural for us to care for and love you.”

"You need to be aware of this yourself, and don't treat yourself like an outsider."

Xia Yuhuan nodded seriously upon hearing this, "Yes, you're right. I understand, and I will always remember that I am a member of the Chi family."

"Good child, eat quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold," Zhang Xianya said.

Xia Yuhuan then continued eating with her head down.

At the dinner table, Chi Shaokang asked Chi Yanzhou about his experience in the disaster area.

Although written reports had been coming back during this period, he was aware of the situation in the disaster area.

However, written accounts are never as impactful as firsthand accounts.

Chi Yanzhou is not a sentimental person, nor can he say anything sentimental. He simply recounted what he saw in the disaster area in a straightforward manner.

It is precisely because of this straightforward and unexaggerated narrative that people can better feel the suffering endured by the people in the disaster area.

"We've only completed the initial search and rescue work so far. The real focus for the people there is on post-disaster reconstruction," Chi Shaokang said with a sigh.

Chi Yanzhou nodded slightly, naturally agreeing with this.

"Alright, I know you and your son are both great people and heroes who care about the country and its people, but we are a family eating together now."

"This is our first family reunion dinner in over two months. Can't you talk about something lighthearted?"

"If you insist on bringing up such heavy topics, aren't you afraid of getting indigestion?" Zhang Xianya said irritably.

She naturally sympathized with the situation in the disaster area.

But the incident has already happened and has been properly handled. The subsequent recovery is not something that can be done overnight; it requires time to settle things. At this point, there is no point in them discussing it further.

"Okay, that's enough. Let's eat, let's eat," Chi Shaokang said hurriedly.

Afterwards, all four members of the family deliberately avoided the topic and did not mention this heavy-hearted matter.

After dinner, Xia Yuhuan asked Chi Yanzhou to accompany her for a walk.

Then she went to Grandma Wang's house.

Chi Yanzhou said, "You just got back, and instead of taking a proper rest, you're here treating patients again?"

“I left suddenly. Although I left a prescription for Grandma Wang to decoct and take the medicine herself, it’s been two months. I’m worried about her. Now that I’m back, I have to check on her,” Xia Yuhuan explained.

Zhuang Weiming happened to be in the courtyard when he was surprised to see Xia Yuhuan suddenly arrive.

He quickly opened the door to welcome her in.

"Dr. Xia, what brings you here at this time? You just got back from the disaster area today, didn't you?"

Zhuang Weiming's status and position were higher than Chi Shaokang's, so he naturally knew about Xia Yuhuan's trip to the disaster area.

Therefore, he did not blame Xia Yuhuan for not coming to treat Wang Aiping's illness for a long time.

After all, Xia Yuhuan went to the disaster area to save more ordinary people, and he could only support her and had no reason to hold a grudge.

Moreover, Xia Yuhuan didn't just run away without caring about anything.

Before leaving, she specifically left a prescription so that they could get the medicine for their mother themselves.

Therefore, Wang Aiping's medication was given without interruption during this period.

Aside from his mother complaining that the medicine he prescribed didn't taste as good as the medicine Xia Yuhuan prepared, the medicine Zhang Xiaohua decocted was indeed quite effective.

During this period, his mother's complexion has visibly improved, becoming rosy and radiant, and even her voice sounds more energetic.

Therefore, Zhuang Weiming was genuinely grateful to Xia Yuhuan.

"I've come to check on Grandma Wang's health. Is this a convenient time?" Xia Yuhuan asked.

"It's convenient, it's convenient, Dr. Xia, please come with me," Zhuang Weiming said hurriedly.

Zhuang Weiming's politeness and respect surprised Chi Yanzhou.

After all, Chi Yanzhou knew Zhuang Weiming's status and personality. The fact that he respected him so much meant that his wife really might be able to cure Grandma Wang.

Chi Yanzhou had made his judgment, but he didn't show it at all on his face.

Zhuang Weiming led the two into the hall.

"Mom, look who's here!" Zhuang Weiming called out as he entered the door.

Wang Aiping turned her head to look when she heard this.

His eyes lit up immediately when he saw Xia Yuhuan.

"Xiao Huan, you're back! Come here quickly so I can see you." Wang Aiping waved hurriedly.

Xia Yuhuan stepped forward and sat down beside her.

"Grandma Wang, it's been a long time. I've come to see you."

Wang Aiping looked Xia Yuhuan up and down, her face full of heartache.

"How did you suffer so much? You must be exhausted these days."

Xia Yuhuan suddenly stopped coming to see her and even handed over the task of decocting medicine to the housekeeper. Wang Aiping naturally knew that something must have happened to her.

After asking Zhuang Weiming, he checked and found out that Xia Yuhuan had gone to support the disaster area.

Wang Aiping was proud of Xia Yuhuan, but at the same time, she was also very worried about Xia Yuhuan's safety.

After all, in the face of natural disasters, human beings are insignificant. Although it is called earthquake relief, if there is any accident, people could be lost.

During this time, she had been keeping a close eye on the situation in the disaster area and knew that Xia Yuhuan had saved many people and made many contributions.

I also know Xia Yuhuan's bravery and fearlessness.

So when she saw Xia Yuhuan come to see her as soon as she returned, she was happy but felt more sorry for her exhaustion and haggard appearance during this period.

"Yeah, I was a bit busy, but it's all over now."

“I just finished eating and came here. My mom said she’s going to make sure I get properly nourished and regain the weight I’ve lost.”

"Maybe after a while, you'll start to think I'm fat," Xia Yuhuan said with a light smile.

Wang Aiping laughed upon hearing this: "Not at all, how could I mind? Being a little chubby is good, it improves blood circulation and overall health."

Xia Yuhuan asked her, "Grandma Wang, have you been taking your medicine properly while I was away? How are you feeling?"

Wang Aiping said, "I take my medicine on time every day without fail."

"It's because you didn't brew this medicine, it tastes bitter now, and it's really bitter for me."

Xia Yuhuan couldn't help but chuckle when she saw her brows furrowed in disgust.

"Let me take your pulse first to see how well your health is improving."

“If the situation allows, and if you and Uncle Zhuang still want to have the surgery, I will find some time to do it for you.”

"That way, once the recovery period after surgery is over, I won't have to drink bitter medicine anymore."

"Okay, then I'll have to trouble you, Xiao Huan." Wang Aiping immediately replied with a smile.

As they spoke, Wang Aiping offered her hand to Xia Yuhuan so she could take her pulse.
