Mu Yi'an, a teacher at an agricultural school, in her thirties, unmarried, nearly expelled from her family by her biological mother.
Jiang Shuyun, a high school political teacher, in her ...
The news that Mr. Liang's leg could be cured excited not only Li Dahu and his group, but also Mu Yi'an and her friends, because they were heroes.
Because of Mr. Liang's situation, Dr. Chu will need to work a bit harder.
In the morning, he, Shao Ming, and Shao Yun rode back to the city in a horse-drawn carriage.
The two children went to school, and Doctor Chu went to his clinic.
In the evening, Wei San drove the carriage to pick up the two children, then went to the clinic to pick up Doctor Chu, and they all returned to the estate together.
Because acupuncture takes a long time, it cannot be completed in one or two days.
Mu Yi'an and the others won't be staying at the estate for too long, so it will be hard for Doctor Chu for a few days.
Perfect timing! Let Jiang Qi and her two children accompany Master Wan and his wife for a few days.
Master Wan also prescribed a new prescription, for both internal and external use, requiring Mr. Liang to take a bath with the herbal decoction every day.
It was only then that Mu Yi'an realized that Mr. Liang and his family had come to her home to be tutors not because they had no money, but because they wanted a place to stay.
Having come down from the battlefield, they all experienced some degree of psychological maladjustment.
In modern terms, it's a stress response; they can't live in that Northwest environment, nor can they be left alone.
They won't have any problems as long as they don't encounter the relevant scenarios.
Moreover, this situation will gradually disappear once the environment changes.
This is also why the headmaster sought out Jiang Shuyun; he felt that the atmosphere at the Jiang family home was warm and relaxing.
Now that things have come to this, Mu Yi'an can't say anything more.
Mr. Liang's treatment began, but he didn't miss the opportunity to teach his child.
Before Dr. Chu and his team returned, Mr. Liang finished his medicinal bath, tidied up, and waited for Dr. Chu to give him acupuncture.
After the acupuncture, it would take another fifteen minutes before the needles could be removed. Mr. Liang used this fifteen minutes to tell the children some things. This was Mr. Liang's good intention: to let the children know that the battlefield has always been cruel.
After the headmaster learned that Liang Wenxuan's leg might be cured, he secretly gave Jiang Shuyun another credit.
Because he went to Jiang Shuyun's place, and because of Jiang Shuyun's brother-in-law and his master, all these relationships were interconnected.
The key person is Jiang Zhonglin, who is a lucky star.
After a few days of this, the first batch of melons in the melon patch ripened.
Jiang Shuhe wasn't there this year, but Mu Yi'an also went to the fields, taking Xu Wu and Uncle Li with him to mark the ripe watermelons.
Incidentally, he also taught Xu An and several other farmhands how to tell if a watermelon was ripe.
While Mu Yi'an and the others were busy in the melon patch, Li Li led a group of people to deliver some of the watermelons that his wife had picked out to the academy so that they could have a taste.
Master Wan and his group went directly to the edge of the melon field, where Steward Li had a thatched hut built, which was both cool and had a rustic charm.
“Master, mistress, let’s try some first. This is the first batch of melons this year.”
Butler Li has already had several watermelons hung from the well; they'll taste even better chilled tonight.
Jiang Qi brought over the sliced watermelon and asked her master and mistress to try it first.
"Auntie, watermelons taste even better when eaten right at the edge of the field."
"Yes, Mom, looking at the big watermelon and then eating it makes it taste especially sweet."
Anran and Chuyue each held a slice of watermelon and ate it while looking at the watermelons in the field.
"Delicious, sweet."
Even though the people of Ankang are young, they know what's good to eat.
Shao Rong and Shao Ke sat in the stroller, watching everyone eat. Their little mouths kept moving, and they were drooling.
"Oh, my poor little brothers, they can't eat any delicious watermelon."
Chuyue looked at her two younger brothers and sighed.
"My younger brother is still small, and watermelon is a cold food. If they eat it, they will get a stomachache."
Master Wan explained the reason to the two little girls. Sister Wei fed the two little ones goat milk, and as long as they had food, they didn't cry or fuss.
When Li Li arrived at the academy, the watermelon was brought to the headmaster's study.
"The watermelon is ripe? So fast?"
The people from the Northwest haven't arrived yet; it will take at least ten days.
"Headmaster, this is the first batch. The next batch will take another half a month to ripen."
"Really? I thought everything was already cooked."
The headmaster secretly breathed a sigh of relief; it wasn't too late.
"Go and fetch the headmaster, distribute these watermelons to the students, and let them thank the Jiang family."
The servant went to find the head of the temple, and Li Li waited to unload the watermelons; he had other things to do when he got back.
Mu Yi'an also sent several watermelons to Mu Sanshu's family, Doctor Chu's senior brother's family, and Shao Ming's school.
Manager Zhou will come tomorrow to transport the watermelons; they should be taken directly to the capital.
On this day, a bonfire party was held in the village.
Mu Yi'an had two sheep slaughtered, a fire lit, and the whole sheep roasted.
Tomorrow is a day off, so there's no need to worry about sleeping in and not being able to get up.
The children huddled around a fire, their eyes fixed on the sizzling, oily roasting lamb, their mouths watering.
Jiang Shuyun invited the headmaster, the hall master, and the study master as well, believing that sharing joy is worse than enjoying it alone.
The headmaster wanted to visit Liang Wenxuan and join in the fun, so he came along with his attendant.
The campfire was set up in two places: the men and children were in the open space outside the courtyard, while the women were in the inner courtyard. This way, they wouldn't disturb each other, which was quite nice.
The headmaster saw Liang Wenxuan in the crowd and noticed that he looked more energetic than when he first arrived.
"Wenxuan, how are you feeling?"
"Headmaster, I'm much better than before. I can only feel soreness occasionally. Doctor Wan and Doctor Chu said we can't rush things."
"That's good, that's good. Just relax and let things take their course."
