Doctor Zhou nodded when he heard this: "Okay, then I'll go take a look tomorrow morning!"

After getting Dr. Zhou's consent, Li Yan prepared to leave.

At this time, Lin Feng called out to Li Yan: "Wait a minute, I'll go back with you!" He hadn't visited his sister for a long time, and when he heard his niece say this just now, Lin Feng was worried about her.

After saying goodbye to Doctor Zhou, he asked Monkey to return to the rented cottage first, while he took the horse and Li Yan to Lijia Village.

"Uncle, let's go to the meat market first and buy some vegetables!"

Li Yan took Lin Feng to Zhu the butcher's stall.

Zhu the butcher had a good memory. Seeing Li Yan standing in front of the stall, he said cheerfully, "It's been a while since I last saw you buy meat!"

Li Yan smiled and said, "I'm busy with spring plowing, and I still have some cured meat from last year at home, so I haven't come to the city yet!"

It was just a few pleasantries, and he didn't really care why Li Yan didn't come to buy meat.

Butcher Zhu pointed at the fresh half-castrated pork on the chopping board and said to Li Yan with a smile, "Girl, if you like that piece, uncle will cut it for you!"

"Then give me a pound of pork belly and two pounds of spare ribs!"

Li Yan saw Zhu the butcher cut off a piece of meat with his knife, which was fat and lean, just one pound.

While Zhu the butcher was busy chopping ribs for Li Yan, Li Yan saw half a piece of fresh pork liver on the side. Thinking of how much blood her uncle had lost some time ago, she asked for another half piece of pork liver.

"It's forty-one cents in total, so I'll just give you forty cents!"

Li Yan took out her purse and said with a smile, "Thank you very much, uncle!"

Butcher Zhu waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Come and take care of my business in the future!"

When Li Yan took out her purse, Lin Feng paid the money first.

"Oh, uncle, I'll pay for it!"

Lin Feng: "It's the same if my uncle pays. Okay, is there anything else you want to buy?"

Li Yan shook her head, and then Lin Feng rode a horse and took Li Yan back to Lijia Village.

Lin was standing in the courtyard holding a basket. She was very happy to see Lin Feng leading a horse at the door.

"What have you been busy with recently? Why don't you come home?" Lin asked angrily.

Lin Feng led the horse into the courtyard and explained, "I just bought a batch of goods a while ago and I was busy sorting them out. I got delayed because of my busy schedule!"

Looking at her brother's noticeably thinner figure, Lin said distressedly, "You should take care of yourself when you're busy. I see you've lost a lot of weight. You must be skipping meals when you're busy!"

Lin Feng looked so haggard and thin because he had been seriously injured. Lin had no idea that his brother had just had a near-death experience. He simply assumed that he hadn't taken good care of himself.

In order to avoid being nagged by his sister, Lin Feng used the excuse of leading the horse to the backyard and ran away as if for his life.

Lin shook her head helplessly and said to her daughter, "I think I should find you an aunt to take good care of your uncle!"

Li Yan agreed with a smile, "Then mother has to hurry up and pick one. If it's any later, I'm afraid all the suitable girls in the surrounding villages will be married, and there will be no place for uncle!"

The daughter's words hit the nail on the head for Li Yan. This matter cannot be delayed any longer this year!

Li Yan looked at her dazed mother and quickly interrupted, "I think the dried vegetables in the basket are very good. I just bought some meat today. Mom, let's make dried vegetables and braised meat for lunch!"

Lin, regaining her composure, looked at the dried vegetables in the basket and nodded with a smile. "These are the ones your aunt brought last time. I was planning to make them today too. Help me get a wooden basin from the kitchen and soak them in water later."

Li Yan took the basket from Lin and went to the kitchen.

At this time, Lin Feng, who had settled the horses, walked into the kitchen carrying the meat. He was surprised when he saw his sister's belly.

Just now, Lin was holding a basket in her arms, but Lin Feng didn't see it clearly. Now, seeing a slender person with a round belly, it was very incongruous.

Lin Feng scratched his head and walked around Lin, then nervously said, "Sister, I haven't seen you for a while, how come your belly is so big? Are you tired? Go back to the room and rest!"

As the due date approached, Lin did feel that her body was getting weaker and weaker. Fortunately, her daughter did not let her worry too much in the past six months and bought delicious food and drinks for the house. Her body, which had been weakened by illness in previous years, was better than before.

Lin waved her hand and refused, "You don't understand. A pregnant woman should move more. It's just a small thing. I'm not tired!"

After hearing what his sister said, Lin Feng didn't say anything else, but he was still a little worried. He didn't know if the delivery would be smooth with such a big belly.

He secretly cursed himself for his wild thoughts, thinking that everything would be fine!

At this time, Li Xiaomei finished her work in the tofu workshop and came to the kitchen to help.

"Mom, please accompany your uncle to the main hall and sit for a while. Your aunt will be able to help you here!" Li Yan said to Lin.

It was not a good idea for the four of them to just stand in the kitchen, so they took their younger brother to the main room.

After the two left, Li Yan skillfully cut the pork belly she had just bought and asked Li Xiaomei to grill the meat first.

I cut the pork liver I had just bought into thin slices, then put it into clean water to wash off the blood. After it was processed, I soaked it in onion and ginger water for a cup of tea.

After removing the fishy smell from the pork liver, she added some salt, vinegar, and soy sauce and marinated it for a while. Since there was no starch at home, Li Yan found some flour and poured it into it. In this way, the pork liver was not only free of fishy smell but also very tender and smooth.

When Li Yan brought the food to the main room, she found that the two siblings looked as if they had had an argument.

Li Yan put down the chopped green onion and pork liver soup in her hand: "It's time to eat, Mom!"

Lin Feng was worried about his sister's health, so he spoke first: "Sister, let's eat, I'm hungry!"

Lin sighed. Every time she asked her younger brother to go back and see his brother and sister-in-law, he was like a stubborn donkey and just didn't say a word.

At that time, Lin Feng, who was only in his teens, not only refused to study hard every day, but also wanted to travel thousands of miles with others to do business.

Lin An was really worried that his brother would be misled and go astray, so he said angrily, "Let him out of this door, and never let him come back!"

This guy actually didn't go back. I don't know how many times I mentioned it to him. He is just very stubborn!

Lin thought to herself, "Forget it. I'll wait until I have a child and then go and persuade my eldest brother."

Li Yan first served Lin Feng a bowl of pig liver soup and handed it to him: "Uncle, pig liver replenishes blood, you must eat more of this!"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lin took a closer look at her brother's face, which was indeed pale.

Lin was worried that her brother was overworking and not taking good care of himself, so she put the previous argument behind her and kept urging her brother to eat more.

How could Lin know that the brother sitting in front of her had once been on the brink of life and death and almost lost his life!
