What's it like to stand at the top of the food chain overnight? Even if... this food chain is poor and pitiful. Even if... you become a scourge that everyone avoids. Even if... there are all so...
"Yes, yes, yes," Jiang Nuan flattered obsequiously, "Your wisdom is like the Yellow River flowing endlessly, how can I compare?"
"You're flattering me again," Grandma Jiang said with a smile, tapping her daughter's forehead. "Alright, I'm going out now. Staying in a closed room during the day doesn't feel very comfortable. I'm going outside to get some sun."
"Wait, I still have something to say," Jiang Nuan quickly grabbed the old lady Jiang who was about to leave, her eyes sparkling, and said directly, "Mother, stay here for a while, I'll help you take care of your health!"
Her mother was only in her fifties, but she looked old, with a full head of silver hair and a severely hunched back.
He looked like a lifeless old man in his seventies.
In an era where sixty years old is considered a long life, her condition was perfectly normal, but Jiang Nuan was not resigned to it.
She wants to keep such a good mother forever.
We must take good care of the old lady's health.
"No, thank you," Grandma Jiang said with a gentle smile in her eyes. "It's good that you have the thought. Your father is waiting for me at home. I'll go home tomorrow."
“Then let my father come along,” Jiang Nuan explained earnestly. “Mom, your health is severely depleted. If you don’t take good care of yourselves now, it will be too late.”
"No way," Grandma Jiang waved her hand dismissively. "Everyone goes through this. You're just worrying unnecessarily. Don't worry, your father and I can live for another ten years or so."
Is ten years a long time? Jiang Nuan was speechless. Ten years later, the old lady would only be in her sixties.
“I don’t care,” Jiang Nuan simply retorted, “I’m not letting you leave.”
The Huang family has been focusing on improving their health lately, so they're not worried about having two more.
Anyway, someone will send money over tomorrow, which should be enough for the time being.
Grandma Jiang didn't reply, shook her head, smiled and left with her hands behind her back, looking indifferent.
This child is still a bit silly!
After Grandma Jiang left, Jiang Nuan closed the door and turned to enter the space.
That wasn't what she meant to say earlier; she wanted to teach the "Health Preservation Manual" to her mother so they could practice together.
The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he abruptly changed his mind.
She suddenly realized that she was not qualified to pass on the martial arts technique.
After a pause, Jiang Nuan silently went out to find an incense burner, placed it on the table in the thatched hut, and bowed. "Great God, can you teach the 'Nourishing Life Technique' to others?"
After he finished speaking, there was no sound in the space.
Even after three incense sticks had burned out, it remained the same.
Seeing this, Jiang Nuan was somewhat disappointed, and finally, she left listlessly.
Upon arriving at the room, a person sat blankly in a chair, eyes vacant, body stiff, as if they had lost their soul.
After a long while, she patted her head and muttered, "Jiang Nuan, what are you thinking? How could the great god possibly have time to pay attention to you!"
This is a true god; how could a mere mortal like her dare to blaspheme against him?
Patting her face to shake off her frustration, Jiang Nuan composed herself and stepped outside.
Looking up into the distance, the sun had already set behind the treetops.
In Pingwang Courtyard, the old lady sat on a stool with her eyes closed, Xie was sweeping the floor, Wang and Jin were making clothes, and the eldest and second sons were repairing the top of the wall...
A picture of peace and tranquility!
"It's already good enough, we can't be greedy." Jiang Nuan stared blankly at these things, admonishing herself in her heart.
Just as they were relaxing, they heard Huang Xiaosi excitedly shout, "Mom, we're back! We caught so many fish!"
After saying that, he excitedly carried the bucket to Jiang Nuan and exclaimed, "Look, it's half a bucket!"
Jiang Nuan looked down and saw that the bucket was more than half full of palm-sized crucian carp. Her face immediately darkened. "Huang Xiaosi, I told you again and again not to go near the water!"
