Lin Yuyao smiled again and said, "Grandpa, you have good teeth. We all think these peanut crisps are too hard on our teeth."

The old man smiled, picked up another piece and said, "What's that? Back then, we were so good at chewing tree bark and grass roots."

"That's right. People of my generation don't have such good teeth. Maybe it's because we eat too much refined food."

"Yeah, I told you not to raise children too meticulously, but your parents just don't listen. They have to chop meat into small pieces for her to eat. She's already grown up, but it's like raising a child without teeth." He glanced at Fu Huaiyi and snorted again, "Your sister has a toothache at a young age, so your mother took her to the hospital to see a dentist."

This answers the question of why Luo Feng and Fu Shuran were not there.

Fu Huaiyi raised his eyebrows and secretly gave Lin Yuyao a thumbs up.

Lin Yuyao took out other things as if she was presenting a treasure. Although the Lin family was poor, Lin Yuyao's parents were hardworking and could always find many good things in the mountains that were hard to buy with money.

The small hanging honey is packed in a large glass jar, and you can smell its sweet fragrance through the glass.

There is also kudzu root powder and various kinds of wild mushrooms.

The old man was very happy, holding the glass jar and saying, "I like this. It's not greasy and is different from the ones you buy outside."

"This mushroom is delicious, Xiaohe, soak it and make soup with it tonight."

"Yes." Qu He agreed, said hello to Lin Yuyao and Fu Huaiyi, and went to the kitchen with the dried mushrooms.

Not long after, Luo Feng came back with her daughter. Fu Yatong's eyes were red and her face was swollen. She couldn't open her mouth when she looked at them, and she looked aggrieved.

Luo Feng said: "I just had a tooth pulled and I still have a cotton ball in my mouth. I can't speak."

Because of the old man's previous complaints, Fu Huaiyi and Lin Yuyao naturally thought that Fu Yatong went to have her rotten teeth removed.

Lin Yuyao was surprised and said, "Is it so serious? It has to be peeled off. Is it impossible to cure it?"

"How can this be cured? It can't be cured, the only thing to do is to peel it off."

Fu Huaiyi said, "You must have eaten too much sugar. Your teeth are decayed at such a young age. The rest of your life is so long. Do you plan to live with dentures?"

Um?

Fu Yatong glared at him, whimpering, as if she was ready to fight with Fu Huaiyi.

Luo Feng pulled her aside and said to Fu Huaiyi, "What nonsense are you talking about? Your sister has wisdom teeth. They are growing crookedly and pressing against her molars. She is in pain every day and has to have them removed."

What?

It's not tooth decay.

How embarrassing.

Lin Yuyao: "The decayed teeth are not the right ones to be removed. It's okay. Just remove them."

She quickly took out the gift she had prepared for Fu Yatong and said, "Sister, look, a complete set of signed books, magazines, and our collector's edition videotapes."

Fu Yatong is an iconic girl of this era. She is keen on novels, magazines, videotapes, postcards, etc. In her circle, people are proud of getting signed postcards from some big star, signed videotapes from some music company, etc. She has a bunch of collector's editions in her home, and she doesn't spend much on food and clothing with her high monthly living expenses, but spends it all on these collections.

Fu Yatong was so excited that her mouth was watering when she received these gifts.

Yes, she had her tooth pulled and was salivating like crazy.

When I was so excited that I was about to open my mouth to speak, saliva started to flow.

She was so embarrassed that she quickly covered her mouth.

Lin Yuyao said, "I'll help you take it back to the house later, so you better stop talking."

Fu Yatong nodded with emotion.

She couldn't eat lunch and could only sit aside and watch them eat.

Fu Xingye felt distressed when he saw his daughter like this, and asked his wife Luo Feng, "How long will she stay like this?"

"Forget about lunch. Let's see if we can have some liquid food in the evening."

"Is it that serious? It's just a tooth."

"It was very difficult to extract her tooth. It took three people to pull it out. The wound is huge. Look at how swollen her face is. The doctor said she has to go to the hospital for an IV drip tomorrow."

"Hmph, you are so useless. How can you be a dentist if you can't even pull out a tooth? I don't know what these young people eat nowadays. They don't even have this little strength. If I were young, I could open his skull with my bare hands."

Everyone: “…”

"Dad, you're going to kill someone, how can the dentist just let you do it?"

The old man curled his lips, "What do you mean? Do you look down on me?"

Fu Xingye: “…”

"Yatong, wait until your other wisdom tooth grows in, and don't go to the hospital. Ask grandpa to help you remove it."

Fu Yatong was so scared that she shook her head repeatedly.

She was worried that the old man could pull her gums out.

After lunch, Lin Yuyao took the pile of gifts and went to play with Fu Yatong, while Fu Huaiyi invited the old man to ride in their new car, saying that he would drive him out to play.

He was unwilling at first, but when he heard that the car was bought by Lin Yuyao, he agreed.

After getting in the car, he started praising it.

"Yuyao has good taste. This car is much better than the one you bought yourself."

"That's nonsense. This car is so expensive."

"There are so many expensive cars, but none of them are as good as this one."

Fu Huaiyi: “…”

“Ahem… That’s true.”

"Hey, you're free now, right?"

"Yeah, what?"

"Since you have nothing else to do, have you considered having children?"

Fu Huaiyi said embarrassedly: "I am planning to have it, and I am working hard on it."

"Hahaha, great, great, then I'll be able to hold my great-grandson in my arms soon."

"It's hard to say. You can't get pregnant just because you want to. It all depends on fate."

The old man glared at him angrily, "Why are you so useless? You are so young, it's hard to say whether you want a child or not."

Fu Huaiyi: “…” Does this have anything to do with whether it’s useful or not?

"Why don't you go to the hospital in the morning and don't delay others."

"I..." I almost couldn't help but say something back to him, but then I thought about what my father said, that the old man had some mental problems, so I endured it.

"Grandpa, come with us to South City after the New Year."

"What are you going to do in South City?"

"Go out more often while you're still strong. Otherwise, in a few years..."

Um?

The old man glared at me with a murderous look.

Fu Huaiyi knew he had said the wrong thing, so he covered his mouth and said, "In a few years we won't have time to take you out to play."

"Why aren't you free?"

"In a few years, when the children can run and jump, it will be time for us to be tired. Our energy is used up by the young ones, so how can we take care of the old ones?"

"Then I'll go help you take care of the kids in a few years. Now..." He shook his head, "Forget it now. I don't want to go."

"Why?"

He didn't say why, he just shook his head.

…

Fu Yatong's condition was quite serious. Even though the bleeding had stopped, she didn't dare to speak because it hurt when she opened her mouth.

His face was swollen and there was a mark on his lip that looked like it was caused by pliers.

Lin Yuyao felt that the old man was right, the dentist's skills were indeed not good.

Just pulling out a tooth, how come the little girl's face was almost disfigured?
