048 Safe and Secure Prescription

When Wan Changsheng returned home, Mei Niang put down her clothes and helped pack the things he bought.

Erqiang and Ping'an also helped carry the meat.

"Uncle, won't all the meat go bad if you buy so much? How can we finish it all?"

Ping An knew the purpose of the meat and said with a smile, "You are dreaming big enough to eat so much meat?"

Mei Niang also smiled and said, "Half of it is also for you two. I plan to make it into jerky. In this weather, it's still good to eat for half a month. I'll make more in the second half of the year, and it won't go bad if you eat it for several months."

Erqiang grinned, thinking that his aunt was so good to him. He saved some money and gave a piece of cloth to his uncle and aunt to make clothes for the New Year.

"Hey, what is this? Husband, why are there so many medicines? Are you feeling unwell?"

Wan Changsheng took the medicine and walked to the room: "Madam, this is the medicinal diet prescribed by the eldest master. It is a tonic. I will tell you later."

Mei Niang finally breathed a sigh of relief. In her heart, she could never forget that the villagers called her the disaster star. She would be terrified whenever Wan Changsheng and his son had a headache or fever.

This is a shadow that is engraved in her bones, and she can't help but think about it.

For the rest of her life, she just wants her family to live in peace. As for getting rich, she doesn't think too much about it. As long as she can get by, that's enough.

Now her life is peaceful and happy. Every morning when she wakes up, she thanks God from the bottom of her heart for having mercy on her.

Ping'an didn't say anything. The master suddenly prescribed so many medicines for his father. There must be something wrong. But since his parents didn't say anything, he didn't dare to ask. He decided to ask the master later.

Wan Changsheng took the two children to wash peaches, cut them in half, and boiled them with sugar (not too soft), and then let them bask in the sun for half a day.

Peaches cook very quickly, so the two children went to dry the peaches, leaving just enough space in the big iron pot for braised meat.

The meat should be marinated first, but not too soft, just cooked. Cut it into strips with a knife, cover the charcoal fire with ashes, and slowly roast until both sides are golden brown, but not too hard. Dry it in the sun for most of the day tomorrow.

The dried meat prepared in this way is neither too soft nor too tough, and tastes just right. It is delicious and chewy, making it the best snack on the way.

Today these are mainly for sending off the eldest son. The couple decided to do it later as they will be taking the child on the road, after all, the weather is getting hotter.

After washing up and returning to the room, the faint moonlight had already climbed onto the windowsill.

Wan Changsheng slowly told Mei Niang about the injuries he had suffered.

"I'm sorry, my lady. I didn't tell you this before we got married. Besides, I didn't know how to tell you. I was thinking that we already have Ping An and a son. It doesn't matter if we don't have the baby. Besides, the military doctor didn't say that we won't have the baby.

Today, the eldest son said that there will definitely be children, but not too many, one or two, and it may take a year or two to adjust. "

Mei Niang felt sad: "You must have been in so much pain at that time, husband, I will help you take good care of yourself. Even if you really can't have a baby, Ping An is a good child. Now he has your last name, so he is your son. We have a son to take care of us in our old age."

"I know, Mei Niang. You left home at the age of seventeen and lived alone for many years. After returning home, you and Ping An have been alone ever since. Now that I have you and Ping An, I am very content. It doesn't really matter whether I have my own children or not.

I just thought that if I could have one or two more children, it would be nice to have brothers and sisters so that Ping An would have brothers and sisters and we could discuss things with each other when something happened.

Let nature take its course. The Master of Medicinal Food said that you can eat it, so it’s not a bad thing for us to nourish ourselves.”

Mei Niang leaned in her husband's arms, looking at the hazy moonlight outside the window. The beautiful young man she once was also became hazy in her memory.

Now she just wants to live a good life with this man, grow old together, and preferably have another child. Nothing else matters.

The next morning.

Ping An called his parents together and said, "Dad, Mom, I will pay my respects to you tomorrow morning. In addition to the six gifts, I want to give you something else."

He took out a piece of paper.

"These are two prescriptions. Last autumn, I was collecting firewood in the mountains and met a grandfather who was collecting herbs. He fell to the ground and felt very uncomfortable. I went over to ask if he could help him call someone. He asked me to help him pick up a medicine bottle about ten feet away. I helped him take the pills, and soon he felt much better.

When I was about to leave, he stopped me and said that he had no money on him, so he gave me two prescriptions and told me not to take them out easily.

I had forgotten about this matter, but I just remembered it these days when I was studying medicine. These two prescriptions should be good. I want to give them to Master so that I can use them myself in the future. Do you think it is feasible?"

The couple was a little stunned. How could this be possible?

Mei Niang sighed, "Why didn't you tell me about this, kid? I shouldn't have let a six or seven-year-old kid like you go up the mountain to collect firewood all the time. I feel sorry for you."

Ping An did often help collect firewood, so he dared to say that.

"It's okay, mother. I'm a boy, and it's the same in every family. Later, the grandfather lived in the cave for several days. While he was looking for medicine in the mountains, he took the time to teach me."

Wan Changsheng nodded and said, "Ping An, if you want to give it to your master, just give it to him. As for whether the recipe is useful to your master, we don't know."

"Dad, give this piece of paper to the master. If he asks, tell him the truth. It was originally given to me by that grandfather."

"Okay, Mei Niang, find a better box to put it in, and I'll hand it over to him in person when the time comes. But it's best to avoid people, because some people don't want others to know the recipe."

Ping An said, "Dad, I'll do as you say."

The couple also breathed a sigh of relief. They had thought that six gifts were too light, but now they had two prescriptions. Ping An also knew a little about medicine, so since he wanted to give it, it should be a good gift.

This is good. Ping'an will still rely on the eldest son to teach him in the future. By giving the prescription away, the relationship is established. Besides, Ping'an also said that he will be able to use the prescription in the future, so he will not suffer any loss.

That day, Mei Niang hurriedly made clothes for her husband.

Wan Changsheng put it on in the afternoon. He was tall and strong, and the outfit looked very good on him. It is true that clothes are needed for men and saddles are needed for horses.

Erqiang exclaimed that it was beautiful, and Pingan nodded with a smile.

Wan Changsheng blushed as he looked at his wife's smiling face. He was extremely satisfied and only wished that such years would last forever.

"Thank you, ma'am. I'll wear new clothes tomorrow. Ma'am, you can come with me."

Mei Niang shook her head and said, "What is there for a woman like me to do? Becoming a disciple is such a sacred thing.

Besides, I don’t like being in front of so many people. It’s not as comfortable as being at home. You are the father, so just go.”

"Whatever. We'll be back in the afternoon."

Erqiang was anxious: "Uncle, can't I go and see it tomorrow?"

Wan Changsheng said, "Jixiang will come tomorrow morning. Ask him. If it's okay, follow him."

Er Qiang was happy: "I know, I will follow them and learn skills in the future. Ping An, I will definitely be able to protect you in the future. Aunt, I will also wear new clothes tomorrow."

Everybody laughed.

The meat was dried and had just the right color, aroma and taste. Mei Niang filled a jar with it and fetched some well water to cool it down, even though the weather was not hot at all.

The dried peaches are also ready, with firm stems, chewy and delicious, sour and sweet. Everyone is very satisfied.

These were also filled into a jar as a gift, and the rest was given to the two children to eat on the way.

Ping'an has loved eating snacks in both his past and present lives, and he taught his mother these last year.

As his biological mother in this life, no matter what he says is right, she will always obey him.

He was very satisfied with this.
