Lin Jin looked at the box in her hand, hesitated for a moment, and ultimately decided not to open it. It was already late; she'd wasted so much time traveling back and forth, and it was almost noon. She was getting anxious; she needed to get home quickly, otherwise, it wouldn't be good if the people Grandma Gong sent arrived and found no one home.

Thinking of this, Lin Jin immediately sped up her bike. The wheels spun rapidly, creating a breeze that ruffled her hair. She didn't bother to fix it; all she wanted was to get home as quickly as possible.

Sure enough, when she reached the alley entrance, she saw a car parked by the roadside in the distance. Lin Jin was overjoyed and quickly got off her bicycle, walking briskly towards home.

When Lin Jin arrived at her doorstep, she saw a young man in military uniform standing there. The young man was tall and handsome, and gave off a very spirited vibe.

"You're someone sent by Grandma Gong, right?" Lin Jin walked up to the young man and asked with a smile.

Hearing the voice, the young man turned around, his gaze falling on Lin Jin, sizing him up. His eyes were sharp, but not unpleasant.

Immediately, the young man stood at attention, gave Lin Jin a standard military salute, and replied in a loud voice, "Yes, Miss Lin, Elder Gong sent me to pick you up."

Lin Jin nodded, indicating that she understood. She pushed her bicycle into the yard, parked it, and went inside to get her first-aid kit. Then, she took out some fruit and some health-preserving pills she had made herself from her spatial storage, intending to bring them to Grandma Gong.

With everything ready, Lin Jin got into the car with the young man. The car slowly started moving and headed towards Grandma Gong's house.

Not long after, the vehicle slowly came to a stop. Lin Jin looked closely and was shocked – he was extremely familiar with this place!

"I've been here before!" Lin Jin murmured to himself, a feeling he couldn't quite describe welling up inside him. What a coincidence! Xiao Hong actually lives in this compound too!

Just as Lin Jin was surprised, a question suddenly came to mind: "Wait a minute, didn't Grandpa Gong retire? Why is he still living here?" The more Lin Jin thought about it, the stranger it seemed. He had originally thought that Grandpa Gong would move to another place after retiring.

However, before Lin Jin could figure it out, the young driver had already quickly completed the registration procedures, and the car started again, slowly driving towards the yard.

This military compound is truly unique. Upon entering, one can immediately feel the strong military atmosphere and solemnity. Looking around, one sees red slogans and propaganda boards plastered all over the walls, displaying various patriotic ideas and military spirit, which inspires respect.

The car slowly came to a stop in front of a small building. The young man quickly got out of the car, walked over to Lin Jin, took the things from her hands, and then led her into the house.

Upon entering the house, Lin Jin was immediately drawn to its decor. Although the overall arrangement was simple, it exuded a dignified yet elegant atmosphere. A set of understated sofas sat in the living room, where Grandma Gong and a sprightly elderly woman were smiling and waiting for Lin Jin's arrival.

Lin Jin walked quickly to Grandma Gong. Upon seeing him, Grandma Gong hurriedly stood up, grasped Lin Jin's hand tightly, and said excitedly, "Oh my, I've been waiting for you!" Then, her gaze fell on the things in the young man's hands, and she quickly said, "You've come all this way, why did you bring anything?"

Seeing this, the old man smiled and interjected, "Quickly, let Xiao Jin sit down and talk." Grandma Gong then came to her senses and said with a smile, "Oh dear! Look at my memory, I was so busy chatting with you that I forgot to introduce my old man!"

Lin Jin quickly said, "Hello, Grandpa Gong!"

Grandpa Gong quickly replied, "Okay...okay."

Lin Jin continued, "Grandpa Gong, Grandma said you haven't been feeling well lately!"

Grandpa Gong glared at Grandma Gong, but still replied, "Yes, a little. It's an old ailment, nothing serious!" Lin Jin continued, "Grandpa Gong, don't worry, let me take your pulse first to see the specific situation." As she spoke, she skillfully placed her hand on Grandpa Gong's wrist, intently feeling his pulse. After a moment, Lin Jin frowned slightly, already having a general idea of ​​what was going on. "Grandpa Gong, you have mild bronchitis, and with years of hard work, your body is a bit weak," Lin Jin patiently explained.

Grandpa Gong nodded, highly appreciating Lin Jin's professionalism. "Little Jin, do you have a way to cure him?" Grandma Gong asked anxiously from the side. Lin Jin smiled confidently, "Grandma, don't worry. I'll write a prescription first. You can get the medicine, decoct it, and take it along with the health-preserving pills I brought. Grandpa's health will definitely improve in less than half a month." Grandpa Gong and Grandma Gong both smiled with relief. Grandpa Gong gave a thumbs-up, praising, "Little Jin, you're so young, yet your medical skills are so superb! You're truly amazing!" Lin Jin smiled somewhat shyly, "Grandpa Gong, you flatter me. It's what I should do." Then, Lin Jin carefully wrote down the prescription, handed it to Grandma Gong, and gave her detailed instructions on how to take it.

After Grandma Gong called the housekeeper to fetch the medicine, she turned and went into the kitchen to prepare lunch. Seeing this, Lin Jin wanted to follow her into the kitchen to help, but Grandma Gong stopped her, saying with a smile, "Little Jin, don't go into the kitchen. The fumes are strong and bad for your skin. Why don't you keep Grandpa company and talk to him for a while? He's quite bored by himself."

Lin Jin was a little helpless, but she still nodded obediently and went to sit next to Grandpa Gong in the living room. Grandpa Gong looked at Lin Jin and seemed to notice her boredom, so he suggested, "Little Jin, do you know how to play chess? Would you like to play a few games with Grandpa?"

Lin Jin was already feeling bored, and upon hearing Grandpa Gong's suggestion, he immediately agreed without hesitation. Seeing this, Grandpa Gong smiled with delight, and he quickly took out a chessboard and pieces from the cabinet and placed them on the table.

The two sat facing each other and began to play chess. Although Lin Jin's chess skills weren't superb, he knew a thing or two, so his game against Old Master Gong was fairly even. Before they knew it, they had already played their third game.

Just then, Grandma Gong called out loudly from the kitchen, "Old man, Xiao Jin, dinner's ready!" However, Grandpa Gong seemed not to hear Grandma Gong's call at all. His attention was completely focused on the chess game, and he was still immersed in the fun of the game, unwilling to get up.
