Wife, let's win her over first!

Yu Mingxiang was completely unaware that Gu Guanhai and Ji Zichen Xuancao had embarked on their journey home at the same time.

She tossed and turned all night, barely sleeping. However, with the magic spring in her hand, she drank a cup of its water every morning and felt full of energy again.

After getting up, she went to the east room to check on her grandson, as usual.

The little one is now about three months old and can lift his head.

Seeing Grandma come in, the little dumpling raised its head and stretched out its hand towards her, making little noises.

Yu Mingxiang shook off the chill before approaching her grandson. "Grandma's little dumpling is so good!"

She teased the adorable little dumpling and said, "Did you miss Grandma? Grandma's precious little dumpling?"

Tuanzi: "Ahhh..."

After Yu Mingxiang had been on a blind date with her grandson for a while, she brought over a pot of boiled spiritual spring water before heading to the front yard.

As she entered the front yard, she saw her youngest son rubbing his eyes as he came out of the house.

When Gu Guanhai was around, he would always help her with the fire whenever she cooked.

After he left, his youngest son took over his duties, getting up early in the morning to cook for her no matter how sleepy he was.

Seeing him yawning repeatedly, Yu Mingxiang said with heartache, "If you're sleepy, just sleep a little longer. Mom can cook by herself."

Qin Xiangdong quickly shook his head, "I'm not sleepy, I'm not sleepy, I'll help Mom cook."

The mother and son went into the kitchen together.

Smoke quickly rose from the courtyards at the edge of the village.

Yesterday, Yu Mingxiang went to town and bought two pieces of tofu from the supply and marketing cooperative. This morning, she made a cold dish with one piece, which was then made into tofu with scallions. She cut the other piece into cubes, pan-fried them until golden brown on all sides, and then stir-fried them with fermented bean paste. She served them with steamed buns, pickled vegetable shreds, and corn porridge. Although she didn't make any meat dishes, it was still quite delicious.

After the family of four finished their meal, Yu Mingxiang left her eldest son at home to tidy up the medicinal herbs they had previously stockpiled, and then took her second son to town.

They went to town to sign a contract.

Since they weren't going to transport the plasters, the mother and son didn't borrow the village's oxcart and chose to walk.

When the two arrived at the town government office, Xiao Changqing was already waiting for them.

With the above approvals in place, the contract signing went very smoothly.

After signing the contract, Yu Mingxiang discussed some details with Xiao Changqing.

Upon learning that the medicinal herbs for the town hospital wouldn't arrive until after the New Year, Yu Mingxiang: ...

Because of the previous batch of plasters, the town hospital has been out of supplies for several days.

In the dead of winter, thinking of the patients who urgently needed plasters, Yu Mingxiang said, "I still have some medicinal herbs that I stored at home. If possible, I can use those herbs to make a small amount of plasters, which should be enough for our town hospital and Watou town hospital."

Xiao Changqing was a kind town mayor who cared about the people. Upon hearing this, he was overjoyed and said, "That would be perfect. If it's not for mass production, I can ask the town hospital to provide some medicinal herbs for you, Comrade Yu, to use first."

Yu Mingxiang: "Okay!"

"..."

After discussing the details, the mother and son left the town government office and headed towards the train station.

It's good that a large quantity of medicinal herbs won't arrive at the town hospital until after the New Year. This way, the pharmacy workers can have a break and enjoy the holiday.

Although they might not want a holiday, but...

Yu Mingxiang thought!

Although she didn't know exactly when her daughter would be back, she was certain her daughter would be back soon.

When her daughter comes back, she needs time to spend with her and nurture their relationship...

As she was thinking, an oxcart came towards her.

Hao Xiaoyun, wrapped in a blanket with only her head sticking out, was shivering from the cold on the bus. "It's so cold! The weather in Northeast China is so cold!"

Shivering, she complained, "How can anyone live in this cold weather?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Mingxiang said: ...

He turned his head and glanced at her.

Seeing that she was a pretty young woman who looked like she hadn't been through the harsh climate of Northeast China, she forced a smile.

Her daughter grew up in Northeast China and was used to the cold weather there.

Therefore, this girl is definitely not her daughter.

Thinking this, Yu Mingxiang glanced at the other quilt propped up beside the girl and then looked away.

She noticed that there was someone wrapped up under the blanket, but...

She was waiting for her daughter and son-in-law.

Two people.

Under that small blanket, there should only be one person wrapped up, so...

She didn't even bother to investigate before passing by the oxcart.

Little did they know...

She had barely passed the oxcart when Hao Xiaoyun, unable to contain herself any longer, threw off the blanket beside her and angrily said to the person inside, "Battalion Commander Ji, Xuancao is a native of Northeast China and she's not afraid of the cold. Why are you holding her like that?"

The person you should really hug is her, right?

She's freezing to death!
