In the morning, Jiang Xiaoxiao cooked millet porridge, boiled salted duck eggs, and some pickled vegetables, along with cornmeal potstickers.
The rice porridge is thick and fragrant, the duck egg yolks are dripping with oil, and with a bite of pickled vegetables, the potstickers also have a sweet and delicious flavor.
Everyone is enjoying their meal!
Song Yan doesn't cook; she washes the dishes after meals. She tidies up slowly after everyone has finished eating.
Aunt Wei went to feed the chickens and ducks, and to pick vegetables in the garden to prepare lunch.
Wei An and Wei Ping also went to work. They picked up ears of wheat, earning two work points a day.
Chang Xiaohu will go to the fields later, after Jiang Xiaoxiao has finished her tasks, he will go and help her.
But today, Xu Liangsheng and the others held him back and wouldn't let him leave.
Hearing the commotion, Song Yan came out of the house.
Qiu Hai called out, "Sister, please talk to Xiao Hu and ask him to take us for a walk in the woods. But he refuses to go no matter what!"
"Second sister-in-law, I'm going to help Sister Jiang this morning, and I'd like to go to the river to get fish for you this afternoon."
With so many people here, my second sister-in-law will definitely go fishing for a nice meal.
"It's alright! You go ahead! Let them help your sister this afternoon." Song Yan thought to herself, since they've come all this way, shouldn't they experience farm work?
Xu Liangsheng and the others cheered and dragged Chang Xiaohu away.
"Don't go too far!" Song Yan shouted.
"Second Sister-in-law! I know!"...
After tidying up the house, Song Yan sat down to show Aunt Feng the house.
Aunt Feng felt a little apologetic; she couldn't help much and was only making things worse.
“Aunt Feng, you’re not feeling well, you don’t need to do these things.” Song Yan placed his hands on Aunt Feng’s pulse, first on her right hand, then on her left.
“Your physical condition is much better than before. Have you been under any mental stress lately?” Song Yan asked.
“When I was tidying up, I saw a picture of my second son and I couldn’t help but burst into tears… I didn’t dare tell your Uncle Xu. I didn’t feel well for the next few days. I know it’s wrong, he’s gone, but I couldn’t control myself.” As she spoke, Aunt Feng’s eyes welled up with tears again.
Song Yan deeply respects the mother of this hero.
"If you are too sad for a while, you will recover a lot after resting for a while."
But I think since you're already here, you should take good care of yourself.
Aunt Feng nodded, noticing Song Yan's hesitation. "Is there something you're not comfortable saying?"
Song Yan: "I learned my medical skills from my master. Since you're here, I think you should let your master take a look at you."
Aunt Feng: "If you're this amazing, then your master must be even more amazing!"
"It's just that my master's identity is a bit special..." Song Yan expressed his concerns.
Nowadays, the more qualified and capable a person is, the more unfairly they are treated. I feel very lucky to have met a disciple like Song Yan.
Song Yan knew that people like Aunt Feng understood Lao Han's value even better. She had Wei An quietly ask Lao Han, and he agreed to treat Aunt Feng…
Xu Liangsheng and his friends went for a walk in the woods in the morning and harvested wheat in the afternoon. They were all exhausted and listless.
Tonight we're having catfish stew with eggplant and cornbread. Song Yan prepared everything in the pot, Aunt Wei started the fire, and Aunt Feng helped her mother-in-law.
Now the two of them are very close. They call each other "older sister" and "younger sister."
Chang Xiaohu followed Song Yan out.
Song Yan: "Is there something you need?"
"Chunyang said that Fang Jinghua and her brother cried last night, they cried very sadly. She heard them mention your name. But she didn't hear what they said." Chang Xiaohu found it strange, what could their crying have to do with his sister-in-law!
A thought flashed through Song Yan's mind. Had Commander Fang gotten divorced? Song Yan didn't want to talk to Xiao Hu about those things. "Maybe they brought it up unintentionally. Don't worry about it."
…
Xu Liangsheng and his companions felt like they had lost half their lives, but when they smelled the aroma of fish, they felt like they had come back to life.
There are too many people now, and one table isn't enough to seat everyone. So these people have been divided into one large table and one small table.
At the educated youth settlement, Fang Shengjie, Xu Liangsheng, and Chang Xiaohu sat at a small table. They brought out the stewed fish, mixed cucumbers, wild vegetables, and several kinds of pickled vegetables. They were all well-mannered, and even though they were very hungry, they waited for their elders to be seated and start eating before they began to eat.
The food was already delicious, and they were starving after their work. They wanted to devour the whole plate.
They were all eating until their bellies were round and full. Wei Ping and Wei An stared in astonishment. Wei An quietly asked his brother, "Don't they have any food at home?"
Wei Ping: "Yes, I think so! I saw that uncle named Guo Gang bring some grain today. They all have grain to eat, right?"...
Aunt Feng overheard this and found it amusing. On the way to find Old Han with Song Yan, Aunt Feng remarked that it was no wonder they all used to stay at Song Yan's house for meals. Their food was simply too delicious.
Song Yan asked about Fang Shengjie, who cried with Fang Jinghua at the educated youth settlement.
Aunt Feng sighed, "I would have told you this even if you hadn't asked me."
Commander Fang and Shen Hongxiang have divorced.
I heard you showed the note Shen Hongxiang wrote to Old Master Shen, is that right? Old Master Shen got angry because of that. That's why he didn't stop Commander Fang when he was determined to divorce. I'm sure you understand Old Master Shen's position. If he didn't agree to the divorce, it would be very difficult for Commander Fang to achieve his goal.
From what I've heard, Shen Hongxiang doesn't realize her mistake at all and harbors a lot of resentment towards you.
Your Uncle Xu specifically mentioned this and asked me to tell you.
I'm afraid Fang Jinghua will be influenced by her mother. There's a saying: one should have the heart to harm others, but not the heart to guard against them; one should not be without such a heart.
But I can see that with your popularity, Fang Jinghua won't make a fuss here.
Song Yan nodded; this was pretty much what she had guessed.
It's all about fate between people, so she and Fang Jinghua could only be nodding acquaintances.
…
When they arrived at the thatched house, Aunt Feng treated Lao Han and his group with great respect. They also respected Aunt Feng, because they knew this woman had a difficult life.
Old Han compared Aunt Feng's previous test results with her current test results several times.
Old Han was truly gratified.
This patient's illness could definitely be considered a rare and difficult-to-treat condition. Song Yan's prescription for her was very meticulous, and the treatment effect was also very good. She could continue with Song Yan's treatment plan, but Lao Han slightly adjusted the dosage.
Song Yan used to listen to Lao Han talk about theories and cases, but now he's watching Lao Han use the medicine himself. He's learned a lot even from just one prescription.
By altering the dosage of several medicinal ingredients, the drug's effect can be enhanced, its side effects reduced, and the therapeutic effect increased.
Song Yan suddenly understood.
