It was late at night and everyone was asleep. Ye Hanhan carried the packed things on his shoulders and took a shortcut to the cowshed.
I saw a faint light coming from inside, which looked like a lit kerosene lamp.
Ye Han looked around and made sure that there was no one around before he went up and knocked on the door.
After about three or four seconds, Grandma Meng hurriedly opened the door for Ye Hanhan.
"Han Han, come in quickly. Xiao Bao asked you to come over. We have been waiting for you."
After seeing the huge thing on Ye Hanhan's back, Grandma Meng stopped and looked extremely surprised.
"Xianhan, what are you doing?"
Ye Hanhan put the things in his hand on the ground and closed the door behind him.
Although the house where Grandma Meng and Old Wang lived smelled like a cowshed, it was kept very clean.
...
...
A bed made of wooden boards was placed diagonally opposite the door. Although the quilt was patched and had holes in it, it was still folded into a neatly folded tofu block.
In the far corner there was a mottled and peeling table covered with a red checkered tablecloth.
The house is simple, but every detail reflects Mr. Wang and Grandma Meng's love for life.
"Grandma Meng, I'm going to throw away some of the things in my house. I heard from Xiaobao that you guys are in need of a lot of things, so I thought of sending them over to you so you can make do with them."
Ye Xuanhan said as he opened the bundle on the ground. "These sheets and quilts have been at home for too long. I was planning to throw them away. It would be a pity if I didn't use them. Oh, and there are too many flour and eggs. I can't finish them, so I thought of sending them to you and Mr. Wang."
Grandma Meng looked down and found that the quilt was brand new and the flour was fine, and it was obvious that it had been bought not long ago.
"Girl Han, you—" Grandma Meng hesitated.
"Grandma Meng, these are all for you," Ye Han waved his hands, not caring at all.
Grandma Meng did not accept the things, but looked at Mr. Wang who was standing behind her.
Ever since Ye Xuanhan entered the room, Mr. Wang had been sitting with his hands behind his back and not saying a word, but his eyes were shining with sharpness.
"Old lady, if Miss Han says she's going to give us something, it's for us. Please accept it."
"You old man, you are so shameless," Grandma Meng scolded with a smile, and then warmly invited Ye Han to sit down.
Old Wang took out two teacups, poured a glass of boiled water for Ye Hanhan and Grandma Meng, then poured himself a glass before sitting down at the table, waiting for Ye Hanhan to speak.
"Girl Han, I guess you came here today not just to deliver things to us two," Old Wang asked calmly and seemingly casually.
Although he was in the bullpen, it could not conceal his wisdom.
Seeing that Mr. Wang didn't speak clearly, Grandma Meng waited curiously for Ye Hanhan to speak.
Ye Yanhan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yes, I really can't hide it from you."
"Tell me, girl Han, how can we two old bones help you?"
If it were in the past, Old Wang would definitely look down on the quilts and food sent by Ye Xuanhan, but it is different now. If he doesn’t consider himself, he has to think about his wife and his grandson who just turned nine years old.
People say it is easier to add flowers to a beautiful woman than to send charcoal in the snow.
I didn’t lack these food and daily necessities in the past, so it was useless for others to give them to me.
Now that his family is in such a desperate situation, Ye Xuanhan can still help him time and time again. Even though Old Wang is used to seeing too many people flattering and trying to please others, he couldn't help but feel a little touched.
"Mr. Wang, Grandma Meng, I heard from Xiaobao this afternoon that Grandma Meng is the heir of a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, so I want to learn a little from Grandma Meng..."
Seeing that Old Wang and Grandma Meng looked at each other with surprised expressions on their faces, Ye Hanhan quickly added: "Grandma Meng, don't worry too much. Just teach a little bit."
It is too late for her to learn Chinese medicine at her age, so Ye Yanha does not expect to learn all of Grandma Meng's things, as long as she has the basics.
"Girl, I thought it was a big deal," Grandma Meng said with a smile, "You just want to learn some skills from me. Okay, I have nothing to do anyway, so I might as well teach you what I know."
"Really?" Ye Xuanhan's eyes lit up, and then he seemed to have thought of something. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Grandma Meng, "Grandma Meng, you will be my master from now on."
"Okay, okay," Grandma Meng did not stop Ye Han and looked at her with a smile, "Now there is someone to study with Xiaobao, I am so happy."
I have no one to teach my skills in traditional Chinese medicine, and now there is someone else, Ye Xuanhan, so I don’t have to worry about this skill being lost even after a hundred years.
"Grandma Meng, how about I come over and learn from you every day after work?"
Grandma Meng smiled and nodded, "Okay!"
After saying that, Grandma Meng took out some medical books from under her bed and handed them to Ye Hanhan.
"Girl, these books are the only ones I brought with me. I hid them secretly to read. Take them home now and think about them carefully. I will randomly check the contents in a month."
Ye Xuanhan was not worried about memorizing the books. She had the spiritual spring water as a help. After drinking the water, her memory would improve a lot. For her, memorizing the books was as easy as sleeping.
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
Ye Xuanhan carefully put the five books into his arms and returned home in the night.
…
After starting to learn Chinese medicine, Ye Han would go to the cowshed to find Grandma Meng after dinner every night to seek her guidance.
Every time she went to the cowshed, she never came empty-handed. She always had something in her hands, some of which were white flour buns she steamed that day, and some of which were snacks bought from the supply and marketing cooperative.
Of course, when Wang Lao’s flour was almost finished, Ye Han would take out a bag of flour and pour it directly into the other party’s flour jar.
When Grandma Meng first accepted Ye Xuanhan’s things, she always felt embarrassed, so she taught her knowledge of Chinese medicine very carefully every day.
Wang Xiaobao gradually began to like this sister who was ten years older than him. Whenever he saw Ye Yanhan, his face would be filled with joy and he would follow Ye Yanhan and call her "Sister, sister" all the time.
Ye Xuanhan was a little helpless at first, but then he just followed the little brat.
As for Old Wang, he would just move a bench and sit in front of the cowshed every day.
After all, there were not only him, Grandma Meng and Wang Xiaobao living in the cowshed, but also some other miscellaneous people, five in total.
In order to avoid trouble, he had to sit in front of the door and guard it. Once he found any situation, he would let Ye Han jump out of the window at the back to prevent the people from the Huaihua Brigade from thinking that they were too close.
Time flies, and it’s mid-May in the blink of an eye.
Ye Xuanhan calculated the time and found that he and Jiang Wang had been married for more than two months.
