Bai Ruozhu caught a cold when she was born, so she suffers from a cough, and this disease has been with her since she was born.
Originally, at the Bai family, he had expensive medicinal herbs to take with him every day. Although he would cough a few times from time to time, it was generally no big deal.
But when he came to Lan Tian, although his life was not impoverished, his abilities were still limited.
He couldn't afford to buy large quantities of precious medicinal materials every day like the Bai family, like filling the sea.
However, while he was building houses for others and making money, he was also looking for folk remedies for treating coughs.
Finally, he found out that magnolia flowers, combined with several other herbs, were very effective in treating coughs.
Lan Tian found a prescription and asked Bai Ruozhu to take it for a month. As expected, Bai Ruozhu's health improved significantly. He was very happy and planted a large area of magnolia trees in the mountain behind their home.
Until that day, Bai Ruozhu became pregnant.
"Magnolia is cold in nature and has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. If pregnant women take it for a long time, they may have miscarriage at any time."
Bai Ruozhu caressed the baby in her belly, feeling heartbroken and reluctant.
"Otherwise, we won't have children."
"What nonsense are you talking about? This is our child. I want her to come into this world safely."
"But your body..." Lan Tian looked at Bai Ruozhu with concern.
"I'm fine. I just stopped taking the medicine for 10 months. It's okay. My baby will definitely protect her mother."
Despite this, Lan Tian was always worried. That year, he stopped all the work on hand and stayed at home to accompany Bai Ruozhu during her delivery.
Ten months passed quickly. Bai Ruozhu's belly grew bigger and bigger, and her face became paler and paler.
On the day of delivery, the frail Bai Ruozhu fainted in the hospital, and all the doctors were helpless.
"All of you get out of my way!"
Mrs. Bai brought seven or eight doctors in white coats to the hospital in this small county town. All the obstetricians in the country were there, and there were even a few foreign experts.
"Go quickly, go and save my daughter."
Although Mrs. Bai said she was cruel, she had given birth to two children after all and had been through the gates of hell. In addition, her daughter was frail and sickly, so she knew how difficult it was for her daughter to give birth.
"If my daughter loses her life, I will never let you go, you stinky boy!"
After a day and a night of rescue, the baby's cry was finally heard outside the delivery room, and everyone waiting outside the delivery room finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Who is the patient's family member?" The doctor took the child out, his eyes narrowed, and his mouth was moving with big mouthfuls of food.
"I am! I am! Doctor, what happened to my wife?"
"Congratulations, it's a little girl."
"Doctor, what happened to my wife? How is she now?"
Lan Tian didn't hear the doctor's words at all. The only thing he cared about now was his wife who was lying on the operating table and had not come out yet.
"The mother was very weak and still in a coma, but fortunately nothing serious happened to her. She was lucky enough to have survived."
"Once the mother wakes up, we must take good care of her. But..."
"Just what..." Lan Tian eagerly pulled the doctor's hand. He was so nervous that his whole body was shaking.
"She had a severe cough and had been off medication for a long time. This time she also experienced a difficult delivery, and the bacteria had already infected her lungs."
"She may only have three years left to live."
Lan Tian collapsed and knelt on the ground, crying loudly, then he slapped himself in the face like crazy.
"It's me! It's me! I shouldn't have done that!"
After a few "pat, pat" sounds, Lan Tian's cheeks were swollen from being hit by himself.
"I shouldn't have let you get pregnant. We shouldn't have had a child. It's me! I'm sorry."
Mrs. Bai took the baby from the doctor's hands and hugged it. The little baby heard his father's heart-wrenching cry and actually started crying too.
"Hurry up and get up. Get up and look at the baby. This is the child that Ruozhu fought so hard to give birth to."
Lan Tian wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and took the child from Mrs. Bai.
The amazing thing is that as soon as the child was in his father’s hands, he started laughing immediately.
For some reason, this child had a faint scent of magnolia on him, just like the white bamboo.
After smelling the same familiar scent as his wife's, Lan Tian finally calmed down a lot.
"Child, let's call her Xiaolan."
On the day Bai Ruozhu was discharged from the hospital, Mrs. Bai insisted on calling a convoy of people to send her off, and they took her all the way to the door of Lan Tian's house.
This was Mrs. Bai's second time visiting Lan Tian's home, and the scene she saw was indeed completely different from the last time.
In just one year, the dilapidated house made of rotten bricks and tiles was transformed into a three-story detached bungalow.
Each floor of the house is made of solid concrete structure, with large floor-to-ceiling windows, high-end and durable solid wood floors, bright lighting, and a complete set of neat and simple decoration.
Although it is not luxurious, it does give people a sense of comfort and tranquility.
The first floor, facing the garden, was directly used as a studio.
It is filled with the colorful paintings that Bai Ruozhu painted this year. The shelf against the other wall is filled with the paints and tools used by Bai Ruozhu for painting.
Each one is clean and tidy.
The entire second-floor bedroom is specially prepared for that new life.
There is a large balcony with a slide and a rocking horse, and next to it is a spacious study filled with children's picture books and parenting books.
The bedroom is also decorated in an emerald green style, blending in with the surrounding green hills. It is suitable for both boys and girls.
The floor and walls of the entire room are covered with soft rubber, and there are all kinds of toys of all sizes.
This scene left Mrs. Bai dumbfounded.
What surprised her most was that there was a small open-plan room built outside the house, which was filled with medicinal herbs of all sizes.
Each medicinal ingredient is sorted and arranged into categories, and each is clearly labeled with the date and efficacy.
Mrs. Bai smiled knowingly. Although she still could not accept a son-in-law like Lan Tian, after seeing her daughter's current living environment, Mrs. Bai knew that her daughter had not made a mistake in choosing the right person.
Although Lan Tian was not from a wealthy family, he had given Bai Ruozhu the best life he could.
Originally, she wanted to persuade her daughter to let her and her grandson move back to the Bai family villa. The environment at home was good, and her daughter and grandson could live a better life.
But now, she saw Lan Tian personally carry her daughter out of the car and take her to the room.
He gently covered his daughter with a blanket and kept wiping her sweat with a dry towel.
Mrs. Bai suddenly felt that her daughter might live a better life here in the few remaining years of her life.
