At night, Song Chen was lying on the bed and about to fall asleep when he saw Lin Lu still writing something.

The voice was hoarse and suggested, "It's late, go to bed first. You still have time to write tomorrow. Don't damage your eyes."

Lin Lu likes to finish a task in one go, so he said perfunctorily, "You go to sleep first, I'll be done soon."

Song Chen remembered what he heard when he was delivering goods today. He sat up suddenly, and most of his sleepiness disappeared. "Shall we go to Shanghai?"

Lin Lu was puzzled: "Why go? I can't do this."

Song Chen said excitedly, "Let's check your body. I heard there's a very good Chinese medicine doctor over there. Let's go check your legs."

The doctor at the hospital here told her to have a good massage and rest, and start exercising when she feels better. She should be able to walk after a while.

Lin Lu was a man who followed doctors' orders carefully: "Didn't the doctor say it would be fine?"

With him massaging me with all his heart every day, it would be hard not to feel better.

Song Chen placed his hands behind his head and leaned against the headboard. "Let's go and have a look. I'm not too confident in the doctor's skills here."

He changed his posture, still keeping his eyes fixed on her, and said, "Today I heard from an old lady that a relative of theirs in the city had both legs paralyzed, but after a month of acupuncture at a Chinese medicine clinic in Shanghai, he is now fully recovered."

He didn't want to see her sitting in a wheelchair all day, without her former glory.

He used to be such a proud person.

People say that love is always a feeling of indebtedness.

The same is true for Song Chen.

Every time he went out to deliver goods, he would ask the elderly if there was any good medicine to nourish the body or treat the legs. This time he actually found some.

Lin Lu was slightly moved: "Is it really so magical?"

If you can walk, run and jump, who would want to live in a wheelchair every day?

Song Chen made the final decision: "I will go to her relatives' home in the city tomorrow to ask about the situation. If she is really well, we will leave immediately."

"Going to the city? That's too far." "It's very far from the city. It takes several hours to get there by car. I can't get back in a day."

Song Chen: "Not far. I'm on my way to deliver something."

In the past few years, when delivering goods to other cities or provinces, it was common to have to sleep in the car for several days.

However, since Lin Lu woke up, he left the long-distance deliveries to others and only delivered the nearby ones.

Lin Lu: "Okay, then go to sleep. I'll be done soon."

"Yeah." Song Chen got up from the bed, strode into the bathroom, ran the water, and lay back comfortably in bed.

The weather will be a bit hot this month, so they have turned on the air conditioner in the house.

In Li Xianglian's words, turning on the air conditioner and covering yourself with a quilt is simply the behavior of a wealthy family. If this were done in the past, you would definitely be drowned in saliva.

Lin Lu finished the finishing work, slid his wheelchair to the bedside, and climbed onto the bed with his hands.

She went through great pains to get up there, and Song Chen turned her over with one move and adjusted her sleeping position.

Extremely tired, I let out a long sigh: "Thank you."

"Go to sleep, ancestor."

…

The next day, knowing that Song Chen was going out to deliver goods today, Li Xianglian got up early to make breakfast and steamed some fragrant big steamed buns and dumplings for him.

"Eat until you're full, take a few more and nibble on them when you get hungry on the way."

Li Xianglian’s dumplings are all filled with meat, and they are white and plump and look very appetizing.

Lin Lu has a small appetite and is full with just one bun.

"Okay, I'm leaving now. You guys go to sleep tonight and don't worry about me. I might not be back until the early morning."

Li Xianglian already treated her son-in-law like her own son. She said, "Let's get a room in the city to rest and come back tomorrow. It's not safe to drive at night."

Song Chen didn't know whether he heard it or not, and just nodded twice.

After picking up the luggage, he told Lin Lu, "Stay home and listen to your mother. I will bring you a gift when I come back."

Lin Lu: “…”

Lin Jingbei woke up early, rubbing his sleepy eyes: "..."

There's definitely no place for me!

Li Xianglian bared her teeth and smiled foolishly: "Don't worry, I will take care of Lulu and won't let her go hungry."

Lin Lu was silent: Can you please not do this to death?

Lin Jingbei pointed at the clock above the TV and complained helplessly, "If we don't leave now, the sun will come out. Want to have dinner before leaving?"

Song Chen laughed and scolded: "Study hard, kid, don't cause any trouble for me, or I'll blow your head off."

Listen!

Lin Lu waved his hand: "Alright, alright, let's go, don't keep us waiting anxiously."

There was another driver, Li Dayu, with him, and the two took turns driving.

"goodbye."

I was clearly just going out to deliver some goods, but he created an atmosphere of life and death separation.

After breakfast, everyone went about their business.

When Song Chen arrived at the brick factory, Li Dayu was already waiting there.

"Have you eaten?" Song Chen asked casually.

Li Dayu smiled innocently: "I ate it. My wife made some white noodles specially for me. They were delicious."

I'm even licking my teeth to savor the taste.

The bricks had been neatly stacked in the car. After checking that everything was correct, Song Chen closed the car door.

"Get in the car."

"Brother Chen, did your sister-in-law prepare something delicious for you? You seem to be in a good mood today."

As the car drove out of the factory, Li Dayu found a topic to talk about.

In fact, ever since Lin Lu woke up, the darkness and sadness that shrouded him have dissipated, and everyone can see the light in his eyes.

Some people in the brick factory had never seen Lin Lu, but had only heard the legend about her. They were always curious about what kind of woman could have such a man under her control and remain loyal to her for more than ten years.

"How could she cook? She's very delicate. Her hands are only used to hold pens in this life." The corners of his mouth, which had just lowered, unconsciously rose again, and his tone was filled with doting that he himself was not aware of.

Li Dayu is a rough man with a simple and honest character, and he has a bit of the male chauvinism that is inherent in men of this era.

Naturally, I didn't understand the boasting in his words.

"It's really not good for a woman not to be able to cook. Fortunately, my wife is a good cook, otherwise my child and I would have starved to death."

Song Chen: "It's okay, I can do it. Our family doesn't need her to do it. She just needs to be responsible for living a good life."

Live well?

What are you talking about?

Li Dayu really didn't understand.

He was curious, "Brother Chen, you're a grown man, why are you still cooking?"

"I not only go to the kitchen, I also go to the toilet." Song Chen said jokingly.

Li Dayu's eyes were eager and his words were sincere. He said, "Brother Chen, in the entire Qingshui Town, the person I admire most is you. You served as a soldier and an officer when you were young, and after retiring, you were able to open a factory and become the director, making so much money."

Song Chen: "It's just about making a living. We're all the same."

It's more than just providing for the family!

"Brother Chen, you are so modest. Not many people can do what you do."

He estimated that Song Chen was the richest man in the entire town or even the entire Maolin County. If this was enough to support his family, then they would be beggars.

Song Chen ignored him and changed the subject, "Is your brother Dafeng coming back to celebrate the New Year this year?"

"Who knows him? He hasn't been back for several years." Li Dafeng was a gangster in the village in his early years. When he heard that people in Nancheng were making a lot of money now, he followed a group of people to the south.
