Shen Yanming chuckled, then said mysteriously, "I had a dream about the baby in your belly, and I dreamt that you were carrying a son."
Bi Qiaoan sat down in her seat, following Shen Yanming's lead, and asked, "You believe that?"
"I believe it! This is the first time I've ever dreamed so clearly about the baby's gender," Shen Yanming said with some pride.
Seeing Bi Qiaoan's unyielding expression, she quickly changed her words, saying, "It's okay if I'm really mistaken, I still love my daughter just the same."
Bi Qiaoan picked up her chopsticks and tasted each bite. The taste was not bad. "I'll forgive you this time because of the delicious food. But you really can't keep talking about your son. What if it's a daughter in your belly? She'll be very sad if she finds out."
Seeing that Shen Yanming had taken it to heart, Bi Qiaoan continued, "What's more, you're planning to let me eat the Wisdom Fruit. What if our baby is exceptionally intelligent? She might really not recognize you."
Now, Shen Yanming realized the seriousness of the problem and quickly nodded. Then, he looked at Bi Qiaoan's belly and said, "Baby, whether you are a boy or a girl, Daddy will love you the same. Grow up in Mommy's tummy, and when you are born, Daddy will take you to see the world, okay?"
Bi Qiaoan found it somewhat amusing. By the time the child is born and grows up, the world will probably be devastated. Would she let the baby witness the coldness and indifference of human relationships by then?
However, she didn't shatter Shen Yanming's fantasy. After all, every parent wants the best for their child. At worst, they could just bring the baby to see the beautiful scenery of the space. The mountain was so big that they could explore it for a very long time.
After finishing breakfast, Bi Qiaoan asked, "Are the pills ready?"
"If everything is done well, there shouldn't be any problem keeping him alive. However, he will still need further treatment and conditioning."
"It wasn't cured directly?" Bi Qiaoan was somewhat surprised.
Shen Yanming patted her head and said, "I do have a pill that works instantly, but would I dare to give it to you?"
Bi Qiaoan laughed after hearing this, patted her chest and said, "Thank goodness, I was worried about you for so long."
"Actually, I did think about giving him a pill that could cure him directly, but seeing your concern, I changed it to this kind of treatment with less obvious effects."
In that case, if Zeng's mother survives first, and with the help of other treatments, she should be able to recover, although it will take longer and she will suffer more.
"The good thing is that it'll be easy for us to get away," Shen Yanming said.
"Then, when we go there, should we bring them some tonics?"
“I prepared two ginseng roots for them, one fresh and one processed.”
"You dug up my ginseng?" Bi Qiaoan was a little angry when she heard this, because there were not many Chinese medicinal herbs in the herb garden that she recognized, but ginseng was different. She knew it very well and regarded it as a treasure.
Bi Qiaoan stared at Shen Yanming and asked, "Did you replant it for me?"
Cough, this startled Shen Yanming. He thought his wife wouldn't let him dig up her treasure.
"Not yet. I saw a whole patch of medicinal herbs in the garden, so I dug up a small seedling." The seedling that Shen Yanming was referring to was actually seventy or eighty years old.
Bi Qiaoan glared at Shen Yanming and said, "Quickly bring me two ginseng seeds. I need to replant them. Otherwise, if you just use them without replenishing them, the herb garden will be hollowed out sooner or later."
Shen Yanming obediently took two ginseng seeds from the storage area and handed them to Bi Qiaoan, who then used her consciousness to scatter them in the place where Shen Yanming had dug.
After the plants were planted, they continued to lecture: "You need to replenish them frequently, otherwise there won't be any high-quality medicinal herbs for you to use in the future."
Shen Yanming quickly nodded. Seeing that Bi Qiaoan's anger had subsided, Shen Yanming asked, "Wife, can we give this ginseng as a gift?"
"Sure, if it's not enough, I'll dig up two more. But remember this: you have to make up for every one you dig up, no slacking off!"
"Alright, alright, I'll do whatever my wife says," Shen Yanming said obsequiously. "It's getting late, shall we get ready to leave?"
What time is it?
Shen Yanming glanced at his phone. "7:30, just as dawn breaks."
"You've been making pills all night, aren't you tired? Do you want to rest for a while?"
Shen Yanming shook his head. "No, I slept for three hours after I finished, and I feel fine now."
"In that case, let's set off!"
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan changed their clothes before leaving the space. Of course, before leaving, they found a paper bag and put ten catties of millet, two packets of brown sugar, and a packet of red dates inside.
As for the ginseng, since he couldn't find a regular wooden box, Shen Yanming simply packed it in a paper gift box.
The pink box and the ginseng inside didn't really match, but he believed Zeng Yiming wouldn't mind.
True, who would be foolish enough to ignore the value of a gift and stare at a broken box, right?
So, without any qualms, Shen Yanming threw the gift box into a paper bag and then pulled Bi Qiaoan downstairs.
The road was very quiet, perhaps because it was Saturday, or perhaps because it was still early; in any case, we didn't see many cars along the way.
Once the two were on the highway, Shen Yanming continued to drive at the minimum speed limit. Although most of the snow on the road had melted, some snow still remained in certain sections.
For safety's sake, we can only proceed slowly.
It wasn't until after 3 p.m. that the two arrived in the southern province. After getting off the highway, they found out which hospital Zeng's mother was in and drove there using navigation.
As soon as Shen Yanming parked his car and got out, a tired-looking man walked over and gave him a hug. "Dude, I didn't expect you to come. Really, thank you so much!"
As Zeng Yiming spoke, tears welled up in his eyes. He had been so tired these past few days. Those who used to call him brother would run away as far as possible when he needed their help. Zeng Yiming felt isolated and helpless.
It wasn't until he received a call from the orchard that he remembered his promise to Shen Yanming, so he called back to explain the situation.
Unexpectedly, Shen Yanming, who was not close to him, said he wanted to come and visit, and even brought hope to his mother.
Shen Yanming patted Zeng Yiming on the back and said, "It's alright, it's nothing. Let's take care of business first."
"Yes, yes, go in and see, your family is waiting for you." Zeng Yiming let go of Shen Yanming and invited him to the ward.
Shen Yanming nodded, then bent down and said to Bi Qiaoan, "Wait in the car, I'll be down in a bit."
"Is it okay if I don't show myself?" Although they had already discussed this topic on the way, Bi Qiaoan still felt that it wasn't good to not show herself.
Zeng Yiming then noticed that Bi Qiaoan had also arrived. Confused, he asked, "Why isn't sister-in-law coming down?"
“She’s pregnant, and we don’t really want her to go to a hospital unless it’s for a prenatal checkup,” Shen Yanming explained.
Zeng Yiming nodded in understanding, "Then let your sister-in-law sit in the car for a while, it's alright."
