Stepping out of the health center, the warm sunshine bathed her, and the fresh air rushed towards her. Grandma Shen took a deep breath, a long-lost smile appearing on her face. Looking at the familiar village before her, her heart was filled with emotion. She knew that her happy life today was entirely due to the meticulous care of Lin Wanqiu and Shen Tingzhou, and the filial piety of her children.
"Wanqiu...Tingzhou...thank you..." Old Mrs. Shen turned to look at Lin Wanqiu and Shen Tingzhou, her eyes filled with gratitude. "Before...I was confused...I wasn't good to you...From now on...I will definitely make it up to you...and take good care of this family..."
Looking into Old Madam Shen's sincere eyes, Lin Wanqiu was deeply moved: "Mother, please don't say that. We are family, and it's only right that we take care of each other. The past is the past, and we should just live our lives well from now on."
Shen Tingzhou nodded and said, "Mother, we are relieved that you think this way. From now on, our family will live a good life together, care for and look after each other, and never have any more conflicts."
Grandma Shen nodded vigorously, her eyes glistening with tears of emotion.
The car slowly drove into the Hongqi Production Brigade. The familiar streets, houses, and neighbors filled Grandma Shen with a sense of warmth and familiarity. Seeing Grandma Shen recover and be discharged from the hospital, the neighbors all came forward to greet her, their faces beaming with relief.
"Grandma Shen, congratulations on your recovery and discharge from the hospital!"
"Grandma Shen, it's so good to see you getting better!"
"Grandma Shen, you must take good care of your health from now on!"
Grandma Shen smiled as she responded to her neighbors' greetings, her heart filled with warmth. She knew that she hadn't gotten along well with her neighbors before because of her mean-spirited nature. But now, everyone was so concerned about her, which touched her deeply.
Back home, the vegetable garden in the yard was meticulously tended, and all kinds of vegetables were growing vigorously. Looking at everything before her, Old Mrs. Shen felt a deep sense of satisfaction. She knew it was all thanks to Lin Wanqiu. She used to take care of the garden herself, but since falling ill, Lin Wanqiu had been the one looking after it.
"Late Autumn... this vegetable garden... you've been taking care of it all?" Old Mrs. Shen asked.
“Yes, Mother.” Lin Wanqiu nodded and said with a smile, “While you were sick, I would come and take care of the vegetables whenever I had time. I didn’t expect them to grow so well. Once you recover a bit more, we’ll be able to eat vegetables that we grew ourselves.”
Grandma Shen nodded, her eyes filled with gratitude: "Wanqiu... thank you for your hard work..."
Shen Tingzhou helped Old Madam Shen to a chair in the courtyard and said, "Mother, please sit down and rest for a while. I'll go get you a glass of water."
Lin Wanqiu went into the kitchen and began preparing lunch. She wanted to cook a hearty home-style meal for Grandma Shen to celebrate her recovery and discharge from the hospital.
At lunchtime, the family sat around the table, enjoying a harmonious meal. The table was laden with various delicious dishes, including stewed chicken soup, steamed fish, stir-fried vegetables, braised pork, and sweet and sour pork ribs, which Chen Nianxi loved the most.
Grandma Shen looked at the sumptuous dishes on the table, her heart filled with happiness. She picked up her chopsticks, took a bite of greens, and slowly chewed, savoring the delicious flavor that lingered in her mouth. "Wanqiu... your cooking is truly excellent..."
"Mother, please eat more if you like it," Lin Wanqiu said with a smile, placing a piece of braised pork on Grandma Shen's plate.
Shen Nian'an and Shen Nianxi kept putting food on Grandma Shen's plate, saying, "Grandma, eat more of this, it's nutritious." "Grandma, try this, it's delicious."
Looking at her children's sensible expressions, Grandma Shen felt a deep sense of satisfaction. She knew that her family was becoming more and more harmonious and happy.
After dinner, Grandma Shen sat in the courtyard basking in the sun, while Lin Wanqiu massaged her limbs and helped her with her rehabilitation exercises. Shen Tingzhou sat beside her, watching the harmonious scene between mother and daughter, his heart filled with happiness. Shen Nian'an and Shen Nianxi played in the courtyard, their laughter echoing throughout the yard.
The sun shone warmly, and life seemed peaceful and serene. Lin Wanqiu gazed at this harmonious and happy scene before her, her heart filled with emotion. She recalled her time travel to the 1960s, the hardships and suffering she had endured, and the difficult years she had spent raising Nian'an. Back then, she had never imagined she would have such a happy life today. She knew that all of this was hard-won, earned through her kindness, resilience, and wisdom.
Now, Grandma Shen has recovered and been discharged from the hospital, the conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been completely resolved, the children are growing up healthy and happy, and Shen Tingzhou dotes on her. This family is filled with warmth and happiness. Lin Wanqiu secretly made up her mind that she must cherish this happiness even more in the future, take good care of this family, let the children grow up in an environment of love, and make this family harmonious and happy forever.
At the same time, she also thought about her career. These past few days, to take care of Grandma Shen, she had entrusted the management of the food workshop and plantation to the person in charge. Now that Grandma Shen has recovered, she can return to work. She already has a new plan in mind: to launch an "Intangible Cultural Heritage Food Preservation" project, to explore traditional food recipes, to pass on these precious cultural heritages, and to allow more people to taste the charm of traditional cuisine.
