After the food was prepared, it wasn't completely dark yet, so the two waited for a while before heading to the cowshed.

As a result, the two of them had to carry large portions of food, watch where they were going, and couldn't even use a flashlight.

Fortunately, Sheng Yi's hand has improved a lot with the help of the spiritual spring during this period, and at least it looks completely healed from the outside.

The internal condition is probably about right. According to the description given by the Emperor, there might be a slight ache when the weather is bad, but threading needles is not a problem for now.

If I can do these fine motor skills, then the rest shouldn't be a big problem.

Zhu Qinghao was also very happy when he learned of the result, because this meant he wouldn't lose his job.

Sheng Yi never said it, but Zhu Qinghao could tell that he was passionate about his work and about medicine.

From a personal perspective, she didn't mind that Sheng Yi wouldn't be able to continue working in that field, but she was afraid he would be upset.

So now that they know it's going to get better, they're both very happy.

However, since it takes 100 days to recover from a broken bone, even though Sheng Yi said he was almost fully recovered, Zhu Qinghao would still keep an eye on him and prevent him from using that hand to lift heavy objects.

For example, right now, she just lets him carry the basket of food on her back, and carries the rest of the dishes herself. She doesn't even want to carry the thermos of soup for Sheng Yi.

After much persuasion and promises that he wouldn't carry it with his left hand, Sheng Yi reluctantly handed the thermos to Zhu Qinghao.

Zhu Qinghao originally had two baskets, but she lent one to an aunt who went up the mountain to pick hazel mushrooms that day, and the aunt hasn't returned it yet.

Looking at the scene before her, she thought of her own space again.

If she could use the space openly and honestly in front of Sheng Yi, why would she need to go through all this trouble?

However, this is just a thought. Even if Sheng Yi knew, he definitely wouldn't allow her to use it frequently, for fear of danger.

Lost in thought, the two arrived at the entrance of the cowshed, where they saw Zhu Yanzhi, who was about to come out to meet them.

Only after asking did they learn that it was Grandpa Sheng who had come over early, so the Zhu family all knew that the two of them were coming over for dinner tonight.

"Why is Xiao Yi carrying so much? And why is there an injury on her hand?"

As Zhu Yanzhi reached out to take the things, he looked at Zhu Qinghao with disapproval, as if accusing her of mistreating patients.

Seeing this, Sheng Yi obediently handed over the thermos, and immediately began to explain on Zhu Qinghao's behalf:

"No, Uncle, I offered it myself. My left hand is injured but my right hand is fine. Besides, this thing isn't heavy. You know, it's great. She wouldn't give it to me before."

Zhu Qinghao looked at Sheng Yi with an innocent and aggrieved expression.

Sheng Yi gave her a reassuring look, silently comforting her.

Zhu Yanzhi watched the interaction between the two, then turned away, feigning anger:

"Alright, alright, it was I who was being unreasonable, sigh."

As he spoke, he shook his head and sighed as he walked into the house.

Zhu Qinghao burst out laughing from behind, and was then led into the house by Sheng Yi's hand.

Everyone inside heard the commotion outside. When the two entered, they all tried to suppress their smiles and didn't stare at them, afraid of making them uncomfortable.

Zhu Qinghao knew they had heard her, so when she entered the house, she chose not to make eye contact and instead went to play with the two children.
