The older you are, the wiser you are. Grandma Sheng guessed the real purpose of Li Jian’s wife right away.

Zhan Xinyue raised her thumbs repeatedly, praising her grandmother for her keen observation, saying that she was so right.

The old lady was so happy that she narrowed her eyes into slits. She quickly scrubbed the lotus leaves clean and dried them on the dustpan.

"Go soak the glutinous rice."

"Do you have glutinous rice at home?" Zhan Xinyue said in surprise, "Lotus leaf rice tastes better with glutinous rice. I thought there was no glutinous rice at home, so I planned to use rice instead."

"Yes, they were all bought by Tunan. He always buys a lot of things every time he comes back. He has everything he needs."

The little old lady now has someone to accompany her every day. She is in a good mood and in good spirits. When she is in good spirits, her health is naturally good. She smiled and ran to the kitchen to wash and soak the glutinous rice.

Zhan Xinyue began to prepare the other ingredients for lotus leaf rice. There were corn and peas in the vegetable garden, and she also picked a few crisp cucumbers.

After grandma soaked the glutinous rice, she helped to break the corn kernels. Zhan Xinyue took out a fried chicken and cut it into small pieces.

After preparing the ingredients, Zhan Xinyue massaged grandma's acupoints. Chinese medicine believes that if the meridians are unblocked, there will be no illness or pain.

After an hour or so, the glutinous rice was soaked.

Zhan Xinyue picked up the glutinous rice and drained it, while her grandmother helped to light the fire, put cold oil in a hot pan, then put the glutinous rice in and stir-fried until the rice became soft. She added a spoonful of salt for seasoning, stir-fried again until soft and fluffy, and served on a plate for later use.

The fried glutinous rice is particularly fragrant and makes you want to eat it just by smelling it.

But you can't eat it now. Eating uncooked food will give you diarrhea.

Pour oil again, add green onion, ginger and garlic for seasoning, pour in the fried chicken pieces, stir-fry until golden brown and serve.

Finally, stir-fry the peas, corn and cucumber until cooked. Add the fried pork belly and glutinous rice into the pot, stir-fry until evenly mixed, and garnish with some chopped green onions.

"Grandma, it's ready to wrap." Zhan Xinyue poured the mixed rice into the basin.

Grandma Sheng nodded, went to the yard to bring in the lotus leaves, blanched them in hot water, and Zhan Xinyue used scissors to cut each lotus leaf into several pieces.

After all the preparations were completed, Zhan Xinyue and Grandma Sheng used a spoon to put the glutinous rice on the lotus leaf, wrapped it, and finally put it on the steaming plate and steamed it for 30 minutes.

Half an hour later, Zhan Xinyue opened the lid of the pot. The fresh fragrance of lotus leaves, the unique aroma of glutinous rice, and the aroma of bacon wafted into her nose. She knew how delicious it was without even opening the pot.

"Grandma, let me try your delicious food." Zhan Xinyue took one out, put it in a bowl, and handed it to Grandma Sheng.

Grandma Sheng took it and used chopsticks to pull open the lotus leaf, revealing the bright yellow glutinous rice. The old lady couldn't wait to pick up a piece and put it in her mouth.

After swallowing it, the old man's eyes lit up, and he took another bite. After finishing, he said with a sense of unsatisfied satisfaction: "It's delicious, too delicious, Xinyue, let's take the lotus leaf rice to the yard, it's cooler there, I want to eat 5."

Zhan Xinyue picked up two and put them in a bowl, put the rest on a plate, and kept them warm in the pot.

"Grandma, you can only eat one. Glutinous rice is hard to digest. Eat one at noon and half at night."

The old man uttered an "ah" with regret, but listened to the advice. He took the small bowl and went to the yard with Zhan Xinyue, where they sat under the pomelo tree and continued eating.

Because she could only eat one, the old lady chewed each bite many times, savoring the delicious taste of the lotus leaf rice.

Without any interruptions, Zhan Xinyue and her grandmother lived a plain but comfortable life.

Three days passed in a flash, and grandma's head was much better under Xinyue's careful care.

Her eyes became brighter and brighter, and she could clearly see people and objects within 10 meters.

As grandma's health improved, Zhan Xinyue was released to the mountains.

After breakfast, Zhan Xinyue took her backpack and sickle and prepared to go up the mountain to collect honey.

Grandma kept reminding her, "Xinyue, don't go to the mountains. There are many snakes in the mountains now. You must be careful."

Zhan Xinyue nodded and raised the sickle in her pocket: "Grandma, please put it down. If you encounter danger, you will use weapons."

After bidding farewell to grandma, Zhan Xinyue went up the mountain alone.

There was pheasant meat at home, but Zhan Xinyue had no interest in hunting. Her goal this time was to get linden honey.

Linden honey is recognized as the top quality honey with a good taste and can effectively treat constipation, high blood pressure and insomnia.

It is especially good for the elderly to drink.

Zhan Xinyue wanted to get some back for her grandmother, so she walked along the path in the forest, picking one or two wild mushrooms from time to time. She could tell which ones were poisonous, so she didn't have to worry about picking poisonous mushrooms.

When she had picked half a frame of mushrooms, Zhan Xinyue finally discovered linden honey.

Fearing of disturbing the nearby bees, Zhan Xinyue approached cautiously. When she was within reach, she stopped and swung the sickle, ready to kill it with one blow.

At this moment, Zhan Xinyue suddenly found that something on the branch moved.

Upon closer inspection, she saw that it was actually a thumb-thick silver-ringed snake with its head tilted back, spitting its tongue at her.

Zhan Xinyue's blood froze and her brain started working at high speed. She suddenly remembered that when she was five years old, she was also bitten by a silver ring snake.

The horrific memories of childhood came back like an avalanche, and Zhan Xinyue was unable to move out of instinctive fear.

The stress made Zhan Xinyue unable to think about anything else, and she even trembled all over, as if she had no strength left.

Zhan Xinyue remembered everything. She was bitten by a snake when she was five years old. The little girl almost died in the mountains. If Sheng Tunan had not arrived in time and resolutely sucked out the snake venom for him, she would have died that day.

Now, Sheng Tunan is still with the troops. Facing the Silver Ring Snake that once hurt her, Zhan Xinyue dared not move. Is she going to finish this today?
