Sure enough, at half past eight, when Leng You could see the shadow of his home while sitting on the sled, he saw a black dot moving in front of the house.
Seeing Leng You return safely, Wen Jiuyue's bloodshot eyes finally let go of the worry that was about to overwhelm her.
"Grandma Youyou, I finally got you back." As soon as Leng You jumped off the sled, Wen Jiuyue hugged her tightly in her arms.
"Grandma." Leng You rubbed Wen Jiuyue's chest. The familiar smell made her feel at ease.
"Youyou, we have saved a lot of money, and the crops we grow are enough for us to fill our stomachs. Otherwise...can we not work so hard in the future?" Wen Jiuyue felt more and more guilty for letting such a young child work so hard to make money.
"Grandma, didn't we agree to save more money and buy a house in Pingdu to live a good life in the future?" Leng You held Wen Jiuyue's hand to comfort her.
"Grandma is useless. I feel more and more that I am a burden to you." Wen Jiuyue became more and more sad.
"Grandma, this home is given to me by you." Leng You looked at Wen Jiuyue. She just wanted Wen Jiuyue to live a better life, but she didn't want her to fall into endless self-blame.
"It's grandma's fault. You've got the wrong idea. That's right, we can't live without each other now. Don't say such things again, never again." Wen Jiuyue seemed to see a flash of hurt in Leng You's eyes and immediately blamed herself.
"Don't think like that anymore, even if you want to." Leng You still stared at Wen Jiuyue's eyes.
"Okay, grandma knows I was wrong, and I will never think like this again." Wen Jiuyue nodded vigorously. She knew Leng You was sensitive and she would never let this child get hurt in the slightest.
…
When Leng You went to the county town this time, he had already brought the New Year gifts to Hu Liu and Liu Dazui, so he was not planning to go to the county town again before the Spring Festival.
Hu Liu once expressed his desire to visit Leng You at home, but was rejected by Leng You.
It’s not that she didn’t welcome Hu Liu, but the journey was too far for them and it was very inconvenient to travel back and forth.
Besides, the store finally has business and Hu Liu can't leave. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future and there is no need to rush.
Hu Liu listened to Leng You's dissuasion, and together with Liu Dazui, gave the New Year gift to Leng You and asked her to take it home.
Leng You also brought back a sewing machine, which she had asked Hu Liu to order for her. After Hu Liu's efforts, she finally got the machine.
When Wen Jiuyue saw the sewing machine, she was so excited that she was speechless. She even kept looking at the sewing machine left and right before going to bed at night, as if she didn't want to sleep.
With this sewing machine, Wen Jiuyue's talent and passion for making clothes seemed to be awakened all at once. The clothes she made according to the general style that Leng You described were classics among classics even from Leng You's perspective more than 20 years later.
So on the New Year's Day, Leng You put on a jacket and a pair of carrot pants over his cotton-padded coat, and wore snow boots made of rabbit skin by Wen Jiuyue according to Leng You's request. Leng You thought he looked very cool.
Although she detected something strange and extremely perfunctory in the look in Wen Jiuyue's eyes when he looked at her.
However, the five Maos stood in a line with Leng You as usual. When they saw the brand new Leng You standing in front of them, the five Maos tilted their heads and looked at him for a long time, as if they were thinking about how to make their master see their sincerity.
Until Leng You threw a big, deliciously cooked rabbit to each of them, they finally pounced in front of Leng You, jumping and dancing with their tongues hanging out and drooling.
Leng You: “…”
Just think of them as appreciating her extraordinary aesthetics and supreme beauty.
Hong Zao became much more honest, and looked at Leng You with squinted eyes for a long time, and then...
“Hiss…Pfft!”
"You have no more candy for today." Leng You almost had a cerebral blood vessel rupture and took back the hand that was holding the candy.
red dates:"……"
I looked at Leng You with evil eyes again and asked, "Are you polite?"
Wen Jiuyue laughed so hard that she bent over, holding her stomach.
Leng You also pestered Wen Jiuyue to change into a new set of clothes. According to the style suggested by Leng You, it was a modified Chinese version made of coffee-colored wool fabric. Wen Jiuyue looked gentle and elegant in it, and did not look like a country woman at all.
Leng You could even imagine how beautiful Wen Jiuyue was when she was young, but it was a pity that there were no photos left.
Although there were only two grandparents and grandchildren left, this Spring Festival was still celebrated with a great sense of ritual.
Stewed yellow croaker (findn by the resourceful Hu Liu from somewhere), smoked chicken (sent by Liu Dazui), braised pork elbow with sauce, four-happiness meatballs, braised spareribs with scallions, fried quail, stir-fried meat with mushrooms, stir-fried noodles with sauerkraut, and radish soup with large bones, eight dishes and one soup.
How could two people possibly finish so much food? However, Chinese New Year emphasizes the word "surplus", which means that there should be leftovers from everything you eat, even though they may have to be eaten in the next few days.
Before raising the toast, Wen Jiuyue gave Leng You a big red envelope. Now, after Leng You's repeated guidance, in order to prevent Leng You from feeling that he was still an outsider, Wen Jiuyue finally stopped thinking that the money was earned by Leng You and she couldn't spend a penny.
In fact, what money could she spend? She didn't go to the village and seldom went to the county town. Even if she wanted to spend money, she had nowhere to spend it.
Moreover, Leng You would prepare all her food, drink and clothes neatly for her, so she didn't need to buy anything else.
And there would be at least two to three thousand yuan in the house. After settling each bill, Leng You would deposit large sums of money directly into the credit union in the county.
"Thank you, grandma." Leng You gladly took it and immediately put it in his pocket, looking very happy. This behavior made Wen Jiuyue even happier.
"Starting this year, there are only two of us, grandma and grandson. Grandma hopes that my Youyou will get better and better in the future. Let's toast!" Wen Jiuyue also raised his glass, imitating Xiang Huaixin and Bai Changpu.
The glass was filled with wine that Leng You had poured for her.
"Grandma will get better and better." Leng You raised his little hand and clinked glasses with Wen Jiuyue.
There was orange juice in her glass.
In the past six months, Leng You has begun to help Wen Jiuyue regulate her body through traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture. Before, when Bai Changpu was around, he would give her guidance. After Bai Changpu left, she began to study and explore on her own.
After more than half a year of treatment, Wen Jiuyue's chronic illnesses have been basically cured. Now, she looks radiant and more than ten years younger.
And this is exactly the regret and guilt that has been haunting Leng You until her death in her previous life. Now she can finally make up for it in this life. Leng You is extremely grateful to God for giving her this opportunity.
At the same time, in the process of treating Wen Jiuyue, she was surprised to find that her pulse diagnosis skills seemed to be blessed with divine power and were so accurate that even Bai Acorus was surprised.
Every time she took a patient's pulse, her fingertips would be pulled by a magical but indescribable force, and this pull would naturally project the patient's condition into her brain like a projector.
