Su Yuhe walked in with some bowls and chopsticks and asked Shi Kangyuan to sit down.
Then, Shi Kangyuan saw Jiang Lin fill a large wide-mouthed porcelain bowl with rice and vegetables and take it away.
Only then did Shi Kangyuan notice that there was an old man sitting on the kang in the corner.
He was stunned for a moment: "Why don't you eat together?"
"It's a little inconvenient. There's a kang table over there. Just bring it over." It was Ye Yunshu who answered.
Mei Lanyue would occasionally come down to eat, but more often she would sit on the kang.
Shi Kangyuan nodded. Since the host didn't say anything, he was too embarrassed to ask more.
Shi Kangyuan's eyes welled up with tears as the food entered his mouth. He chewed it slowly, and as the delicious food entered his stomach, he sighed, "I am an old man, and it has been so many years since I have eaten such a good meal! Time really waits for no one."
Jiang Lin just sat down. As a rough man, he couldn't stand such flowery talk. He shook his head and handed a piece of meat to the old man: "Eat it, Yuhe fried it specially for him. Instead of wasting time on sentiment, why not eat a few more bites of meat?"
Shi Kangyuan snorted and stopped sighing. The old man was not polite when it came to eating. He was here to help people cure their illnesses, not to eat and drink for free.
Su Yuhe looked at Jiang Lin helplessly, and Jiang Lin vigorously picked up some food for Su Yuhe: "You eat."
Su Yuhe thought about the treatment and asked Shi Kangyuan: "Grandpa Shi, if you have any medicinal herbs needed for treatment, please tell me and Jiang Lin and I will go up the mountain to look for them."
Shi Kangyuan ate slowly, swallowed it, and then said, "Of course we need medicinal herbs. Now that I'm in the village, I can go into the mountains and dig them myself. There are some medicinal herbs that you won't understand even if I tell you. If you're willing to promise me what I did before, I can take you to identify them."
Jiang Lin looked up: "What did you promise?"
Shi Kangyuan snorted and didn't intend to tell Jiang Lin. In his eyes, Jiang Lin was just a reckless man who wouldn't understand even if he told him.
Su Yuhe patted Jiang Lin and said, "Eat first. I'll tell you when I have time."
Traditional Chinese medicine was not something that could be openly discussed at that time. If Su Yuhe was asked to learn traditional Chinese medicine by Ye Yunshu or the old lady, who had been criticized for destroying the four olds, they might not want Su Yuhe to learn it.
Unable to figure out what they were thinking, Su Yuhe didn't dare to say anything here.
After the meal, Shi Kangyuan was very satisfied with the food. While waiting for Jiang Lin to clean up the dishes, Shi Kangyuan asked Ye Yunshu: "Can I see the old lady?"
Of course Ye Yunshu would love that. What if the old lady’s illness could be cured?
But she didn't agree immediately. She looked in Mei Lanyue's direction and said, "Mother, Uncle Shi is the doctor who treats my eyes. Let her take a look at your legs, okay?"
The old lady was reluctant, and after a while she finally said, "Forget it. I don't have many years left to live. I won't bother with this anymore."
Su Yuhe pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and then began to persuade: "Grandma, let's take a look. Grandpa Shi is staying at home anyway. Treating one is treating the same as treating two. It's not a big deal. What if I can get better? Don't you want to go out for a walk?"
Mei Lanyue suddenly looked at Su Yuhe and snorted coldly: "Are you dissatisfied with my embarrassing appearance as an old woman?"
Su Yuhe knew she meant no harm, and she felt distressed when she heard this: "No, Grandma, don't think like that. Think about it, when Brother Lin and I have a child, don't you want to take him out for a walk?"
"Who knows when you will get married? I won't live to see my great-grandchildren at my age." The old lady said this dejectedly.
Su Yuhe: "Let's take a look."
"It's up to you guys!"
Su Yuhe smiled and exchanged glances with Shi Kangyuan: "Thank you for your help."
Shi Kangyuan was full and in a very good mood: "That's nothing."
Su Yuhe followed and brought over the kerosene lamp used for eating, which brightened the kang bed in the corner a little.
Shi Kangyuan felt Mei Lanyue's pulse and his face turned pale. "Nerve compression, blood circulation is blocked, it has been squeezed for many years. I need to check the leg."
Su Yuhe quietly asked for the old lady's consent and lifted the blanket covering her legs.
Su Yuhe saw the pair of small feet at a glance. The three-inch golden lotus was only the size of a palm, and the fingertips were gathered together, which did not look very pretty.
She pursed her lips in pain and helped the old lady lift up her trouser legs.
Shi Kangyuan checked all the acupuncture points on the old lady's legs. At this time, Jiang Lin also came in. Seeing that they were checking, he walked over silently without saying a word.
If possible, he also hopes that his grandmother can stand up again.
Shi Kangyuan: "It should be neuropathy. I didn't get timely treatment. I've been paralyzed in bed for years. My muscles have started to atrophy. I also have some polio..."
He glanced at Jiang Lin sideways and said, "But you took good care of her. She didn't get any bedsores. You can tell I took good care of her."
People who are paralyzed for a long time are prone to bedsores if their caregivers are not attentive or if there is no one to take care of them.
Shi Kangyuan was the latter. His disease was troublesome. By the time he realized it, it had already started to worsen, and he had no energy to treat himself.
Su Yuhe didn't quite understand what he said, and was only concerned: "Can it be cured?"
Shi Kangyuan didn't promise: "I'll try."
Su Yuhe's eyebrows lit up with joy: "Grandma."
The old lady turned her face away and said nothing.
His mother's blindness could be cured, and it seemed that his grandmother's leg disease also had a chance. Jiang Lin finally felt that God saw him.
Seeing how hard his family works, I know things are going in a good direction.
Jiang Lin, a grown man, felt sad for a moment, his throat was tight, and he couldn't say anything. He turned around and walked out.
Su Yuhe noticed that something was wrong with Jiang Lin, said a few words to Shi Kangyuan, and went out to look for Jiang Lin in small steps.
Jiang Lin sat in his room. The kerosene lamp was not lit, and he could only see a tall figure sitting on the kang.
Su Yuhe walked in and sat down next to Jiang Lin: "Brother Lin, look, life is getting better and better."
Jiang Lin responded muffledly. Su Yuhe was about to speak when she suddenly felt dizzy and was pulled into Jiang Lin's arms.
The man's arms were broad and thick, holding Su Yuhe tightly, with her head pressed on his shoulder.
Su Yuhe raised her hand and touched the man's head: "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"No." Jiang Lin was silent for a moment. "Are you the fairy sent by God to save me? I feel like a lot of things have gotten better since I met you."
Su Yuhe smiled and said, "Yes, I am a fairy from heaven. You have to be nice to me."
"I'll give you my life."
The two hugged for a while.
I don't know how, but we suddenly started kissing.
The kiss was a bit rough, with an eager caress. Su Yuhe endured it silently, and the ambiguous voice in the darkness was disturbing.
…
"Jiang boy!"
Shi Kangyuan's shouting outside the yard instantly woke the two of them up.
Su Yuhe half-breathed and pushed Jiang Lin: "Brother Lin."
Jiang Lin was very annoyed: "What's the matter with this old man?"
He said this, but in his heart he was somewhat grateful for it, otherwise he...
