The flames from the stove danced on his fair face, making the scratches on his left cheek appear even more shocking.
"I've already spoken to your Grandma Li. Tomorrow, Uncle Li will borrow an oxcart to take me to the county to get your medicine."
Jiang Mingzhu looked up in surprise upon hearing this. The girl stretched out her hand, her slender fingers slightly away from her cheek, and whispered, "I don't know when this snow will melt. Mother, you'd better not go."

"My daughter is such a sweet little angel," Gu An'an said with a smile, gently rubbing Jiang Mingzhu's head. "It's alright. Your Grandpa Li and Grandma Li had already planned to go to the city to celebrate their grandson's birthday. Birthdays are a fixed event and can't be missed."
