Liang Shuyan was reborn as the mother of a group of children. Being a mother was one thing, but she also happened to be in the midst of a famine. With originally precarious meals and the added hard...
Liang Shuyan smiled slightly: "I didn't bring much, just some eggs, so your father and the children can have a good meal. I've been quite busy with things at home these past few days and haven't had time to visit you. Has your father not returned yet?"
Su Qiaoqiao nodded, placed a cup of tea on the table, and said with a smile, "That's right. I'm already very grateful for your care of me and my father. Auntie, if there's anything you need at home, just let me know and I'll come and help."
Speaking of this, Liang Shuyan glanced at Su Qiaoqiao and said, "By the way, there's no one in charge of the teahouse right now. Why don't you go work there? I'll give you fifteen coins at the end of January, how about that?"
Su Qiaoqiao's eyes were red and she grabbed Liang Shuyan's arm, saying excitedly, "Auntie, thank you so much. My father and I are very grateful to you. If it weren't for your help, my father and I wouldn't have been able to reunite, and I wouldn't have been able to escape from that devil's clutches."
Liang Shuyan picked up her teacup, took a sip, and smiled, "Don't be so polite. We're living together now, it's fate. By the way, should we send the two children to school?"
Su Qiaoqiao frowned: "Auntie, a while ago, two men were always watching at the door. I was worried that the two children would be kidnapped, so my father didn't take them with him anymore?"
Liang Shuyan was surprised, not expecting such a thing to happen in the village. She had a plan in mind: she wanted to talk to Li Zheng about this matter and whether it was necessary to set up a security team for Daling Village. This way, the children in the village could have their schooling guaranteed, which would be a good thing for the villagers.
"I can't believe something like this happened. It seems I need to discuss this with Li Zheng to ensure the children's safety. By the way, is the child's father planning to take the child back?"
"Possibly."
The two were talking inside the house when they heard two children in the yard shouting excitedly, "Mom, Grandpa's back!"
The two children have become very close to Mr. Su recently. When they see Mr. Su coming home from school, some hug his legs, while others tug at his sleeves.
Mr. Su said with a smile, "Oh dear, you two are both my good grandsons. How about this, since Xiao Niu is the youngest, Grandpa will hold Xiao Niu!"
Mr. Su walked into the house with a smile. When he saw Liang Shuyan, he said apologetically, "Oh dear, I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Auntie. When did you arrive? I just got back myself."
"It's nothing, a grandfather dotes on his grandson, what's so funny about that?"
Mr. Su patted the children's heads and said, "Good boy, you two, just play in the yard. Grandpa wants to talk to your Grandma Jin."
The child rubbed his hands together and then came out.
"Thank you so much. You've taken such good care of our family since we arrived in Daling Village. Look, you even brought eggs and tea. You know I like tea, but actually I don't really love tea. I just really like her aunt's tea!"
Liang Shuyan glanced at Mr. Su and said, "Mr. Su, I would like to have your daughter Qiaoqiao come with me to work at the tea shop. No, I should say to manage it. I like Qiaoqiao. I want to take her to familiarize herself with the market first. The key is to promote our tea and boost sales. Most of our current customers are small shops. I want to make our tea more popular."
Mr. Su nodded: "Yes, that's fine. I just need to cook for my two grandsons. Anyway, I have nothing else to do. I'll have time after I finish teaching the students at the school."
Liang Shuyan shook her head: "No need for that. If Qiaoqiao and I go to sell tea and come back late, you can still have dinner at my house. I will give Daya a special reminder."
"By the way, Mr. Su, how is your illness? Did the medicine my mother gave you last time work? If it did, keep taking it until you get better, then stop."
When Mr. Su mentioned these things, he said happily, "By the way, I have to thank your mother for arranging this marriage. Your mother is really capable. She can even treat illnesses. I took this prescription and my leg pain was gone after just one dose. Now I can go around with the children without any problems."
"That's good. My mother got this old prescription from a doctor. If it works, you can take a little more. I guarantee it won't recur."
After chatting briefly, Liang Shuyan said, "Alright, it's almost time. I need to hurry back. These past two days, they've been setting up the kang (heated brick bed) and building the stove in the new house, so I'll have to run back and forth a lot."
Mr. Su and Su Qiaoqiao saw her out, and Liang Shuyan quickly returned to the house.
Liu has been eating quite well these past two days. She finished her millet porridge this morning, and now she's also drunk a bowl of chicken soup and eaten a big chicken leg.
"Oh my, Mom's chicken soup is so delicious. I couldn't help but eat so much. If I keep eating like this, I'll become a big fat person before the baby is even a month old."
Granny Liu was serving her daughter. Seeing her daughter eating heartily, she said happily, "Eat well. All of this was prepared by your mother-in-law. I just heated it up. You need to eat more so that your baby will have enough milk. Don't worry about getting fat. It's a problem if a woman isn't plump."
The room was warm and cozy. Liang Shuyan went to Grandma Jin's room and saw that Grandma Jin was doing embroidery. Liang Shuyan took the needle and thread from her hands and said, "Mother, what time is it? We are too busy to handle everything else. Didn't you say you were going to look after the restaurant? Why are you doing needlework again?"
"It's not that Manager Xiao is managing the restaurant so well, and there's nothing for this old woman like me to do. I'm just doing this little thing. After all, I'm getting more and more addicted to embroidery. It's nothing."
Liang Shuyan explained Mr. Su's leg ailment, and Grandma Jin exclaimed in surprise, "Really? Mr. Su's leg ailment is really cured! It seems that I haven't completely forgotten my skills!"
"Mother, once we've made some money, I'll open a clinic for you in Daling Village. You can treat the villagers there. What do you think of this idea?"
Upon hearing this, Grandma Jin excitedly said, "That's right, why don't you help me check this system first? Are there any special gifts available? If we open a clinic, shouldn't we prepare all kinds of IV drips and equipment? We should use everything we can."
Liang Shuyan glanced at it and found that this system was indeed a treasure trove. It had everything that could be used in modern medicine, such as stethoscopes and ultrasound machines. However, most of the medicines were Western medicines.
"Mother, we can use the things in this system when absolutely necessary. We are in ancient times now, so it's best to use things that people in ancient times usually use to avoid arousing suspicion. It's better to use Chinese medicine for the medicinal herbs. Mother, you can study the medicinal herbs when you have time!"
