With Feng Minghao's help, Liu Mengmeng prepared a table full of dishes at noon. Each dish was quite large, since the three young men were all big eaters. Even Feng Ming'an, one of the three, ate quite a lot. Liu Mengmeng herself was also a big eater, but now that she was older, she ate a little lighter.

When Liu Mengmeng and her eldest son had almost finished preparing the meal, Feng Ming'an, who worked in the neighborhood, returned first, and then Liu Mingfeng got up shortly after Feng Ming'an returned.

As soon as Feng Ming'an arrived home, he saw his older brother carrying dishes toward the dining room. He quickly put down what he was carrying, happily went to his brother's side, and called out "Brother!"

Feng Minghao looked at his younger brother, who was now almost as tall as him, and after placing the dishes he was carrying on the table, he reached out and patted his head. Seeing that he still squinted his eyes when someone touched his head, just like when he was a child, he couldn't help but pat his head again.

"Kid, not bad, you've grown almost as tall as me in just a few years."

Looking at his older brother, whom he hadn't seen for several years, Liu Ming'an noticed he had become both tanned and stronger, which only intensified his disgust for the Li family. If it weren't for the Li family's schemes, his brother wouldn't have been away from the army for so many years. He had originally planned to deal with the Li family during this period, but recently he felt that things were going a bit wrong, so he didn't take action.

Thinking about the commotion that had been going on lately, and considering that his older brother, who had returned at this time, and his cousin, who shouldn't have been there, were both sure they knew something, Feng Ming'an decided to ask them after dinner.

After Liu Mingfeng got up and came out, Feng Ming'an immediately saw his younger cousin and was surprised at how thin he had become. Although they hadn't grown up together, he knew what his cousin looked like because they had photos of him. Now, he could tell at a glance that his cousin had lost a lot of weight, almost to the point of being unrecognizable. He couldn't help but ask him what was wrong and learned that he was just tired and hadn't suffered any serious injuries. He just needed to rest more. Feng Ming'an also saw that his cousin was in good spirits, so he greeted his cousin and went into the kitchen to help his mother serve the dishes. Liu Mingfeng was about to follow him in, but Liu Mengmeng chased him out, telling him to sit at the table and wait for dinner. After all, there were so many people and they were almost done, so there was no need for him to help.

Hearing his aunt say that, Liu Mingfeng didn't stand on ceremony with her and obediently sat down at the table to wait for dinner. After all the food was served, the four of them sat around the table, and after the food was served, they started eating and talking.

Liu Mengmeng: "Are you two going to buy anything for your train tomorrow morning? Are you going to buy something for Yuwei and Qiaoqiao to take back?"

Liu Mingfeng and Feng Minghao said that they would ask Liu Mengmeng to help them buy some things in the afternoon, as they had something to take care of. Liu Mengmeng asked what was more important than buying things for their family.

When Feng Ming'an heard his older brother say this, he put down his chopsticks. He had almost finished eating by then, so he asked his older brother if there was anything he could help with, and if so, he could ask for leave in the afternoon.

Feng Minghao and Liu Mingfeng exchanged a glance and put down their chopsticks. They each took something out of their pockets. Feng Minghao took out a piece of paper, while Liu Mingfeng took out a glass bottle containing a white liquid, about 200 milliliters in size.

After the two placed the items on the table, Liu Mengmeng and Feng Ming'an were curious about their purpose, so Feng Minghao explained them to them.

"Although we signed a confidentiality agreement and can't say much about our mission this time, I can reveal a little bit. This mission is with Elder Hua. This piece of paper is a prescription written by Elder Hua. This prescription, when used in conjunction with the contents of this glass bottle, can help Ming'an's health improve, and we no longer need to worry about him overworking himself."

Upon hearing her son's words, Liu Mengmeng excitedly stepped forward, picked up the two items, and asked her eldest son how to use them. Feng Minghao first pointed to the prescription, then to the milky white liquid.

"This prescription is for drinking. Drink it for seven days in a row. After that, drink it once every two weeks. You have to keep drinking it for six months. This milky white medicine is for use in conjunction with those seven days. It is not for drinking but for bathing. Take about 200 milliliters and divide it into seven doses."

Feng Ming'an was also very happy to hear this. Although his body looked similar to that of an ordinary person, he could not be overworked. If he overworked, it would damage his health and he would be bedridden. That was why his second sister signed up to go to the countryside before him, for fear that he would damage his health while working in the countryside.

Ever since his second sister went to the countryside, Feng Ming'an has been on tenterhooks. He knows his second sister well; she has a straightforward personality and isn't a very careful person. He's afraid that his second sister will be taken advantage of in the countryside, even if she's with her uncle and aunt, and with his second brother around. After all, everyone makes mistakes sometimes, and if something really happens, it will be too late to regret it.

Liu Mengmeng was very happy to see her youngest son's expression. She knew that after her daughter went to the countryside, her youngest son always thought that if it weren't for his poor health, his second sister wouldn't have had to go. Also, there was no preference for boys over girls in their family, and all the children were treated equally, so her youngest son didn't think that his second daughter's going to the countryside was a matter of course.

Liu Mengmeng took the prescription and said she would go downstairs to buy some things and pick up the medicine on the way. Feng Minghao said he was going to the bookstore in the afternoon, and if the bookstore didn't have the medicine, he would go to the scrap metal recycling station. He would pass by the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital on the way, so it would be more convenient for him to get the medicine there.

When Feng Ming'an heard his older brother say he was looking for books, he asked why. To his surprise, he received some great news from his older brother and cousin, and he also understood why he had felt that the atmosphere was not right recently. However, this news was very good for him, not only for him, but also for his older brother and sister in the countryside.

It turned out that Feng Minghao and the others had told Liu Mengmeng and Feng Ming'an that it was almost certain that the college entrance examination would be reinstated, but the timing was uncertain. Therefore, they should find books to study now so that they wouldn't be in a panic when the examination results were announced.

Feng Minghao, Liu Mingfeng, and Feng Ming'an told him to read more books at home during this time, even if it was during his spare time at work. Anyway, the work at the street office was easy and he had plenty of time. Once the college entrance examination results came out, he would hand over the work to Liu Mengmeng and let her study hard at home to prepare for the exam.

So in the afternoon, the three men went to the bookstore and the scrap yard to look for textbooks. Of course, they also got medicine for Feng Ming'an. Liu Mengmeng went to buy gifts for her family. After buying these things, Liu Mengmeng came back to prepare the dry food for Feng Minghao and Liu Mingfeng to take on the train the next morning.
