Lu Zhixia looked up at the sky; it seemed the rain tonight wouldn't be light.
One autumn rain brings a chill, and a gentle breeze blows into the car, prompting her to put on the coat that was placed to the side.
Gu Lingxiao soon returned, and she followed him toward the courtyard with her bag.
"Is the bowl very valuable?" Gu Lingxiao asked.
“Yes, it’s very valuable.” Lu Zhixia turned her head to look at him. “So I can’t keep it in my rented room, nor can I keep it in the house I bought, because there’s no one to look after it.”
“Okay, I’ll hide it for you,” Gu Lingxiao said.
"I feel relieved to hear you say that." Lu Zhixia was in a good mood because she was going to see the doctor tomorrow and expected to see him the day after tomorrow. What exactly did Song Weidong hide back then?
She'll find out soon. Besides, since God has given her a second chance at life, she has a feeling that she'll definitely find her child!
The hailstones fell with a crackling sound, and the ground was covered with more hailstones.
Fortunately, they had arrived at their destination. They walked through the small courtyard and entered the house, then looked back at the courtyard.
The hailstones on the ground were even larger, some the size of eggs.
Lu Zhixia was stunned, having not seen such large hailstones in a long time, until she put the towel on her head and Gu Lingxiao took the bag from her arms.
She then came to her senses, dried her hair with a towel, wiped her face, and followed him into the house.
The advantage of the small room is that you warm up quickly after sitting down for a short time.
Gu Lingxiao put the bag on the cabinet, then went to the outer room to wash his hands, and then took out a bowl and chopsticks from the cabinet.
The food is all in lunchboxes, so you only need a bowl and chopsticks to eat.
Stir-fried eggs with tomatoes, shredded pork with garlic sauce, Kung Pao chicken, mixed cold dishes, and two large boxes of rice.
"Did you buy this from the restaurant?" Old Master Bai asked.
Gu Lingxiao handed him the chopsticks. "Yes, I was busy all day and a little tired. Cooking takes too much time, so I just bought some ready-made food."
Grandpa Bai took a bite of each dish with his chopsticks, and after tasting them, he said, "They're not as good as what the girl makes, but they taste alright."
Lu Zhixia smiled, "Grandpa, I'm so happy that you praised me like that!"
Grandpa Bai laughed, "I'm praising you, not to let you get carried away. You need to keep working hard and make delicious food!"
"Don't worry, Grandpa, I will keep trying!" Lu Zhixia picked up some food with her chopsticks and, just like her grandfather, tasted every dish.
It was indeed slightly inferior to what she made herself. This wasn't due to her confidence, but rather because chefs in large restaurants cook so many dishes every day, only adjusting the seasoning according to their own proportions.
Even a slight mistake can change the taste of the dish.
After the meal, the rain outside stopped.
Grandpa Bai opened the window a little, and a cool breeze blew into the room.
"This rain came down really fast and stopped just as fast. I don't think it will rain again tonight."
"That's great!" Lu Zhixia wasn't afraid of rain but was afraid of thunder.
I took out the acupuncture kit and continued inserting needles, a little faster than usual. By the end, I hadn't broken a sweat.
Lu Zhixia took a sip of the tea her grandfather had brewed; the temperature was just right. Looking at the row of needles on Gu Lingxiao's arm, she couldn't help but admire his ability to endure pain.
This is already the second course of treatment. She hasn't uttered a sound throughout. At most, she twitched slightly when it hurt. Her fists were clenched tightly. Her endurance is unmatched.
After the acupuncture, a hot compress was applied, and Lu Zhixia placed a towel on his back.
"We don't need to take that long today, just 5 minutes! We'll go back after 5 minutes!" Gu Lingxiao said.
“Okay, I’ll time it right,” Lu Zhixia replied.
Old Master Bai stroked his beard. "I'll go back to the village tomorrow and come back in four days. Your business should be almost done by then."
Lu Zhixia looked at her grandfather, "If the bruises on Yuanyuan's head are removed, will she be able to regain her sight?"
The old man shook his head. "I'm not sure about that either. She's young and her body absorbs nutrients well. Even without medicine or acupuncture, the blood stasis will dissipate sooner or later."
Lu Zhixia felt heartbroken for the child's suffering. "Does she have to get so many injections?"
Grandpa Bai said, "There will definitely be more injections in the early stages, but the number will decrease later. Actually, I'm a little worried about whether the child can endure it."
Lu Zhixia thought that Zhou Yuanyuan had been very strong in the hospital, so she figured she must be doing just as well at home.
"I believe she can."
"So confident?"
"Yes, the girl is behaving very well in the hospital."
"I can see it too. She exudes the composure of an adult, and she's bound to be someone who accomplishes great things in the future!" Old Master Bai said with a smile. "They say you can tell what a person will be like at three years old, but I can't see that now. You all will have to wait and see!"
Lu Zhixia immediately took her grandfather's arm.
"We need to relax, there's a long road ahead!"
Grandpa Bai patted her hand, "You're even disciplining me now, child. Don't worry, I won't die anytime soon. I feel like living to 100 is definitely not a problem!"
Lu Zhixia thought of her grandfather when he was interviewed; he was 106 years old, but she didn't know exactly how old he would live to be.
But she felt there would definitely be a few more years.
After the hot compress ended, Gu Lingxiao put on his clothes.
Lu Zhixia picked up her bag, then, remembering that she hadn't shown the bowl to her grandfather yet, she put it on the kang (a heated brick bed) and opened the bag.
"This is the big thing I did today: I acquired a few antique bowls!"
Grandpa Bai looked at the bowl in the bag. He could tell at a glance that it wasn't an ordinary item. He didn't pick it up for fear of breaking it, but instead instructed Lu Zhixia...
"Opportunities to find antiques are rare and precious, so you must take good care of them! Do not sell them unless absolutely necessary, because this is your destiny."
