Ge Peng and his wife were in the kitchen, one boiling water and the other butchering a pheasant.
Ge Peng's wife first asked him to make chicken soup, and then she and her mother-in-law would save the rest of the chicken to cook at home that evening.
When Ge Peng heard what his wife said, he thought to himself, "But what normal person would eat something so greasy so early in the morning?"
The chicken soup simmered in a large pot for over an hour, until the pheasant was tender and melted in your mouth.
Ge Peng quickly took out a ceramic pot from his home and poured the chicken soup into it.
After preparing the chicken soup, Ge Peng got ready to set off.
Ge Peng's wife felt sorry for him because he hadn't eaten anything since he left home yesterday.
She put her arm around Ge Peng and told him to eat breakfast before he left.
She went into the kitchen and reheated the porridge that her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had left for Ge Peng the night before.
She then simply fried two eggs for Ge Peng and ate some pickled vegetables from home with the porridge.
Seeing how much his wife doted on him, Ge Peng felt a warmth in his heart. He thought to himself that his second brother had now returned home.
Apart from my father's passing, the family is now reunited.
As long as he works hard to earn money in the days to come, his family's life will definitely become more comfortable.
Although his second brother is now disabled, he does not mind.
He was willing to support his younger brother for the rest of his life...
After eating a loving breakfast, Ge Peng left ten taels of silver for his family.
He took the earthenware pot filled with a whole chicken and chicken soup, and led his beloved cow to the clinic.
When he arrived at the clinic, he left the cow in the clinic's cowshed.
However, this time he gave the servant who was looking after him ten coins.
He instructed his servant to take good care of his beloved ox and to feed it plenty of tender grass.
Ge Peng carried the pottery jar into his second brother's hospital room.
Ge Qiang had been awake for some time by this time.
He watched his older brother walk into the room, and a complex mix of emotions welled up inside him.
When Ge Peng entered the room, he saw that his second brother had woken up. He quickly went over and hugged his brother.
"Qiangzi!!!"
Ge Qiang was embraced by his elder brother, his heart filled with unbearable sorrow. He choked back tears and said to Ge Peng, "Brother, I'm ruined..."
Ge Peng felt heartbroken when he heard his second brother's words.
He patted Ge Qiang on the back and said to him, "What nonsense are you talking about? As long as people's hearts are not broken, then they won't be broken."
Besides, even if you're crippled, you still have your older brother, who will take care of you for the rest of your life.
You better live a peaceful and stable life, do you hear me?
Ge Qiang had always loved his older brother since he was a child, and his older brother had given him a good beating before he joined the army.
I just don't want him to join the army.
In the end, his older brother couldn't dissuade him and let him join the army anyway.
But now...
He wept bitterly in front of Ge Peng.
Hearing his second brother weeping, Ge Peng silently stayed by his side.
After Ge Qiang had cried for a while, he gently patted Ge Qiang's back.
"Second brother, I've made some chicken soup and it's warming up now."
I'll go to the kitchen of the clinic and borrow a bowl to serve you some chicken soup.
Perhaps Ge Qiang was tired from the long journey, or perhaps he was in dire need of nutrition due to his illness, but he was indeed hungry.
Or perhaps it's because they see their older brother is in a good mood.
He heard that his older brother had made him chicken soup, and he nodded happily, saying, "Okay, I'll have some chicken soup."
Ge Peng borrowed the bowl and returned shortly after.
He served chicken soup to Ge Qiang.
Ge Qiang also drank happily.
When the doctor from the clinic came in to examine the patients, he excitedly exclaimed to Ge Peng and Ge Qiang, "You're awake?!?"
When Ge Peng saw the doctor at the clinic, he expressed his gratitude profusely, saying kind words.
He casually asked the doctor at the clinic how much a slice of century-old ginseng cost.
The doctor at the clinic thought back to the ginseng he had acquired, which was over 120 years old, and it had cost him more than a thousand taels of silver.
That large area alone must have cost at least a hundred taels.
So he said to Ge Peng, "That piece of ginseng must be worth about a hundred taels."
