Su Luo said to Su Chengguo and Zhou Chunmei, "He looks quite pitiful. I won't do anything rash. I'll just coax him a little."
Su Luo certainly wouldn't do anything reckless. She reached out and pressed on the old man's calf, but not too hard.
Dai Ping'an said seriously, "Xiaoyu, the acupoints are right, but the force isn't enough. You need to apply about 70-80% more gravity..."
Su Luo had only intended to put on an act to fool Dai Ping'an, but she didn't expect him to suddenly become serious, just like a teacher checking homework.
Su Luo listened instinctively.
When she applied more force, the old man winced in pain, but then smiled and praised her, "Xiaoyu has learned very well. Grandpa's senses have recovered a lot."
Su Chengguo was dumbfounded. He frowned and muttered to himself, "My God, this is simply miraculous healing..."
Zhou Chunmei also found it amazing. Su Luo just pressed it, and the old man regained consciousness. The key point is that the old man's mind is not clear. He just glanced at the acupoints, and Su Luo knew them.
Su Luo pressed for a while and then let go. Dai Ping'an looked pleased and asked, "Xiao Yu, how's your flying needle practice going?"
Su Luo smiled and said, "It's alright, it's alright."
This time they really tricked the old woman; she had no idea what flying needles were.
She only vaguely remembered the acupoint diagrams she had seen, and just happened to remember a few specific acupoints.
But Dai Ping'an believed him. He nodded and said, "Xiaoyu is diligent and eager to learn. Grandpa believes you will definitely achieve great things."
The old man has regained sensation in his limbs, but he is too weak to walk on his own yet.
Su Chengguo believed it too, and he looked at Su Luo in shock: "A Luo, you are amazing! You can even use flying needles, did you learn this on your own?"
Su Luo rolled her eyes: "Second brother, I'm really impressed..."
Su Chengguo exclaimed "Ah!" and then smiled sheepishly.
Hey, that's what I was saying! Their whole family is illiterate, how could they possibly have someone who excels in their studies?
It was a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! I almost thought my sister was going to become a top student...
Zhou Chunmei chuckled to herself.
Su Chengguo nimbly carried Dai Ping'an on her back and could even help carry a bucket.
Zhou Chunmei carried two buckets, and Su Luo carried one bucket.
Upon seeing the front door, Su Chengguo shouted, "Mom, Big Brother, come out and help!"
Dai Ping'an didn't look at anyone else at all, his eyes were fixed on Su Luo, and he would occasionally make a 'da da da' sound to amuse the child, and then talk to himself.
I'm finally home.
Liu Xiaohua and Su Chenggong immediately came out to help when they heard the noise.
Liu Xiaohua first took the bucket from Zhou Chunmei, and Su Chenggong took Su Luo's bucket and then took another bucket from Liu Xiaohua and carried it into the house.
Liu Xiaohua watched as Su Chengguo carried an old man back, and she looked at him questioningly.
Su Chengguo said casually, "Mom, this old man isn't mentally sound. He's lost. We'll report it to the police and place an ad in the newspaper to find his family. They'll find him soon."
Liu Xiaohua was startled; why was this child so blunt?
Zhou Chunmei laughed and said, "Mom, he doesn't look at us at all, nor does he listen to us. He only sees A'Luo. He mistook A'Luo for his granddaughter and thought Tian Tian was his great-granddaughter..."
After saying this, Zhou Chunmei couldn't help but sigh. Actually, she was quite pitiful.
Liu Xiaohua understood. She looked at the old man and found that he was indeed only looking at Su Luo. Although he was talking to himself, his speech was completely incoherent.
One minute he'll say, "Grandpa made you chestnut cake."
One minute he'll say, "How did you do on your homework today? Grandpa's going to test you."
He was spouting off a string of random sentences.
It's a human life after all, saving someone is a good thing.
Liu Xiaohua asked Su Chengguo and Su Chenggong to help change Dai Ping'an's clothes; the new clothes belonged to Su Dahai.
Dai Ping'an cannot hear what others are saying. When Su Chengguo and the others try to take him to a room, he resists.
But when Su Luo comforted him by saying, "Grandpa's clothes are dirty and he needs to change them," he quieted down.
After changing his clothes, Dai Ping'an insisted on going out. He walked unsteadily, and Su Chengguo helped him out. She looked at Su Luo for help and said, "Luo, this old man will listen to you. Why don't you sit down and talk to him? I need to hurry up and finish things so his family can come and take him away soon."
He still has to go to the village and report it to the police.
Su Luo nodded: "Okay, Second Brother, you go ahead."
This old man is just confused and talks nonsense. He's very kind and doesn't hit people. Besides, there are so many people in his family. If he hits someone, we'll tie him up!
Dai Ping'an sat on the chair next to Su Luo, not speaking to her but looking at the baby in the cradle. He stepped on the rocking chair, letting the cradle sway gently.
He immersed himself in his own world, talking to himself.
"Another adorable little jade baby..."
Su Luo was knitting a sweater on the side.
Zhou Chunmei, Liu Xiaohua, and Li Xue were all processing seafood in the yard.
Su Chenggong is helping with the washing.
"Did you find it at the same place we visited last time? We should go check there often in the future."
Li Xue was also surprised when Zhou Chunmei told her about it.
Liu Xiaohua smiled and said, "Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. Make these into dried abalone and take some with you when you go home to see your parents."
Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, he would always send his two daughters-in-law back to their parents' home for a visit.
Bringing some seafood back home is a way to show filial piety. After the New Year, we visit relatives and friends. These are the only two times we go back each year. Otherwise, there's not much to do, and married daughters don't go back to their parents' home.
Liu Xiaohua's parents passed away one after the other two years ago. Liu Xiaohua no longer goes back to her parents' home, and she only visits her siblings when there are banquets.
"Thank you, Mom."
Li Xue and Zhou Chunmei both laughed.
"Life is better this year, so I'll give them more money to take good care of them."
Liu Xiaohua smiled slightly; she was never stingy.
This year is better than ever, and she's willing to give money.
In her view, the fact that someone else's daughter came to help her son have children and care for him is a lifelong kindness. Without a daughter-in-law, her son would have no home.
"Okay, I'll listen to Mom."
Li Xue and Zhou Chunmei were both very happy.
The children had dug up more than half a bucket of clams, which were already soaking in water.
The assistant instructors who roasted the pork have all been cleaned. Now everyone is working together to process the abalone; more people means more work.
Several large buckets, and after processing, there was a basin of meat.
Liu Xiaohua selected some and said, "These will be used to make seafood soup today, and the rest will be made into dried abalone to eat later."
Liu Xiaohua looked towards Su Luo and was relieved to see that she was alright.
We ate noodles for lunch.
Liu Xiaohua brought out the noodles, which contained abalone slices.
"Ah Luo, can Grandpa Dai eat this by himself?"
When Liu Xiaohua spoke to Dai Ping'an, it was as if her son had said that the old man couldn't hear anyone and wouldn't pay any attention to them.
Su Luo looked at Dai Ping'an and asked, "Grandpa, it's time to eat noodles. Do you want me to feed you?"
Dai Ping'an shook his head sternly: "Grandpa is not at the point where he can't hold a bowl and chopsticks. Grandpa still has to take care of your little baby."
Su Luo took the noodles and handed them to Dai Ping'an. He held the bowl tremblingly and immediately began to eat, as if he hadn't eaten for a long time...
After eating the noodles, my hands became more and more steady.
After finishing the bowl of noodles, his hands stopped shaking, confirming that he was weak from hunger.
