"This is something my father made up himself. He has bad legs and feet, so he made this to exchange for some food." Everyone thinks city people are better off, but in fact, there is not enough food to eat. It's worse than in the countryside. Liu Chunhua saw Liu Yanran coming out alone, so she decided to go out and check on her, worried that she might be feeling unwell.
It turned out that it was made up by grandpa himself, so he was quite talented. "By the way, Aunt Chunhua, I see that the two rooms over there are locked. Do you always use them to store miscellaneous things?" Liu Yanran decided to solve the mystery for herself.
Liu Chunhua smiled gently: "That is the house prepared for my eldest brother and second sister. Although we are not together, my parents have never forgotten them. But the situation is turbulent and my father has poor legs and feet, so we have never had the chance to go far away to look for them. But my parents have always believed that they are still alive. Thanks to God, our family is reunited." Perhaps because she was too excited, she started coughing violently while speaking.
Liu Yanran hurried forward and gently patted Liu Chunhua on the back, looking at her pale face with concern, an indescribable feeling of pity welling up in her heart.
"Thank you, Yanran." After Liu Chunhua recovered her breath, she said to Liu Yanran gratefully, tears in her eyes.
"Aunt Chunhua, why are you so polite to me? We are family!" Liu Yanran replied with a smile, her eyes revealing a hint of intimacy and warmth.
Liu Chunhua nodded with satisfaction, a satisfied smile on her face. She said softly, "Yes, we are all family. No matter what difficulties or challenges we encounter, we must support each other and never abandon each other."
"Yes, I understand." Liu Yanran nodded vigorously, her eyes firm and persistent, indicating that she would always stay with her family.
The two smiled at each other, their eyes full of affection and warmth. At this moment, the feelings between them became deeper, as if they could transcend the barriers of time and space, making their hearts closely connected.
This body looked quite fragile, as if it could be blown down by a gust of wind. It had a certain Lin Daiyu feel to it, and its appearance was also very much to Liu Yanran's taste. Looking at the woman in front of her, Liu Yanran felt pity and said gently, "Auntie, please stop talking. If you don't mind, let me check your pulse!"
Liu Chunhua trusted Liu Yanran completely and extended her hand without hesitation. Liu Yanran gently grasped her slender wrist, feeling for her pulse. However, when she felt her pulse, she couldn't help but frown. It indicated a state of severe weakness and depletion. A scan using modern medical equipment would likely reveal that all her organs were on the verge of failure.
Liu Yanran was shocked, realizing that Chunhua's condition was more serious than she had imagined. She looked at Chunhua solemnly and asked with concern, "Aunt, have you taken any medication or received any treatment?"
Chunhua shook her head weakly. "Our family's financial situation is limited. I don't want to cause trouble for my parents..."
Liu Yanran bit her lip and made up her mind: she must help Chunhua. She secretly made up her mind to find a way to cure Chunhua and restore her health. She looked at Chunhua with a firm gaze and said, "Aunt, your body still needs careful care. Why don't you come with me to Jing City? I will definitely find a way to cure your illness."
Liu Chunhua smiled bitterly, her eyes revealing a hint of helplessness and despair. She shook her head gently and said, "Yanran, thank you for your kindness, but my broken body is hopeless. Don't waste any more money, just take your parents over and let them enjoy a good life." From the gifts they brought, it was clear that the eldest brother's family was well off. His parents had worked hard all their lives, and it would be great for them to enjoy themselves in their old age.
However, Liu Yanran refused to give up. She held Chunhua's hand tightly and said sincerely, "Money is only a thing outside of one's body. If you have a lot of money but lose the love and friendship of family, what's the point? Aunt Chunhua, don't worry. I'm studying Traditional Chinese Medicine, and I have a good friend who's proficient in Western medicine. When we get to Beijing, I'll ask her to treat you personally."
Liu Yanran was deeply fond of Chunhua. Although she grew up in Sichuan Province, she exuded the gentle and delicate temperament of a woman from the Jiangnan water towns. This unique charm deeply captivated Liu Yanran. She believed that as long as Chunhua was willing to receive treatment, she would be able to overcome her illness and regain her health.
Liu Chunhua's heart rippled, and she couldn't help but fall into deep thought. If she went to Jing City, would she be able to see the man she couldn't forget again? Rumor has it that he's married and may even have children. So, does he still remember her past self? This question left Liu Chunhua confused and entangled. "I need to think about it more," she said softly.
Liu Yanran didn't try to persuade them further. After all, with so many people, couldn't they take Aunt Chunling with them? She smiled, understanding. Then, she turned and walked into the kitchen, ready to show off her culinary skills for tonight's reunion dinner. Looking out the window at the gradually darkening sky, Liu Yanran knew it was getting late, and she had to give her all for this special dinner.
Fortunately, she had bought a lot of ingredients. They used a clay stove, and Liu Chunhua helped her light the fire. Liu Yanran was ready to show off her cooking skills today. She started with a dish of pork ribs and glutinous rice, which was fragrant. Then she made a dish of Maoxuewang, a Sichuan dish that made everyone salivate.
After smelling the fragrance, Liu Chunling took the initiative to take over Liu Chunhua's task of lighting the fire, while Cao Cuilan and Wang Guihong also came to help prepare the ingredients.
Then, Liu Yanran made a delicious pickled fish dish that whetted everyone's appetite. In addition, there were fresh crabs they brought, and Liu Yanran steamed them all to preserve the delicious crab meat.
