Chapter 510 Bond
After seeing the girl's face clearly, Mrs. Feng, who had remained calm even in great turmoil, froze where she was, her lips opening and closing but she couldn't utter a single word.
Zhao Yeqing was afraid that the old lady would get too excited, so she didn't even bother to change her shoes. She walked in quickly and held the old lady's hand. The rough warmth went straight to her heart. She wanted to smile, but tears couldn't help falling.
The softened voice trembled uncontrollably, "Aunt..."
The old lady held Zhao Yeqing's hand tightly, and the force of the hand she held made her heart sour and tears rolled down her cheeks.
The old lady's eyes were red. She touched Zhao Yeqing's cheek and wiped away her tears with trembling fingers. "My dear..."
She suddenly felt that she was extremely selfish. How could she be willing to stay in the mountains for so many years with a clear conscience? Fortunately, the old lady was still there.
Only when the elderly are still around at home will tired adults feel like they are still children.
When the aunt and niece met, their tightly clasped hands never loosened.
They just stared at each other without saying a word, as if they could never look at each other enough. No one in the room spoke until the two of them calmed down.
The old lady wiped her eyes and slowly returned to her usual composure. Only the redness in the corners of her eyes and the light in her pupils still recorded the emotion that had just occurred.
He looked Zhao Yeqing up and down, and seeing that she was intact and energetic, he asked, "How have you been these years?"
"Okay, why not? Let me tell you..."
Zhao Yeqing smiled and described the things happening in the mountains in vivid detail, but family members were like that, always reporting good news but never bad news. Even when they mentioned that the water source had been cut off and they had to go to the mountains to find water, they only talked about the delicious persimmons they picked and yams they dug along the way.
It was not until the cousin's wife in the kitchen brought all the dishes to the table and called for dinner that the aunt and niece let go of their tightly clasped hands and finally paid their attention to the people next to them.
The two turned around and saw Mu Xi and Feng Ping squatting on the ground, fiddling with something. In front of them was a large stainless steel basin filled with half a goat. The old lady was a little surprised: "Did you raise this goat?"
"Of course not!" Zhao Yeqing's eyebrows danced with joy, "Mu Xi, where is the other box?"
Feng Lixuan was very discerning and took the box that was still placed by the door. "Aunt, what's in this? It's quite heavy."
“Open it quickly!”
The lid was opened, and inside were bundles of vegetables, bags of tomatoes and peppers, as well as milk, wool, mushrooms, lotus root powder...
"My dear, are these all grown by you?" The old lady's surprised expression made Zhao Yeqing feel extremely accomplished.
"That's right. I was just planning to tell you about what happened after we got to the meadow... Let's eat first. The food cooked by my two sisters-in-law and my second cousin smells so good. I can smell it downstairs!"
Old Mrs. Feng Chunyan gave birth to two sons and one daughter. Today's dishes were prepared by her two cousins and her second cousin.
The two cousins-in-law and the eldest cousin Feng Ping usually have to go to work, but they just took a day off. Knowing that Zhao Yeqing was coming today, they moved their day off to today. The second cousin does not go to work. Usually he is the one who looks after the store while the eldest cousin goes to work, but today he has to cook, and since he is a better cook, he switched jobs with his eldest brother.
Zhao Yeqing noticed that one of his second cousin's eyes was noticeably white, and was slightly stunned, but he didn't ask.
The second cousin smiled and said, "Well, I'm fine. I just accidentally touched something dirty and damaged one of my eyes. It won't affect my normal life."
Zhao Yeqing's smile was a little forced. The old lady held her hand to comfort her, just to change the subject. She was also about to talk to Mu Xi.
"How's your health, Xiao Mu? I see you're stronger than when you first came into the mountains. It's all thanks to you for taking care of my dear over the years."
The old lady was really grateful to him, but when she thought of his and Zhao Yeqing's grandparents who had passed away young, she couldn't help but feel dazed.
Mu Xi's eyes softened and she shook her head gently: "Don't say that. She usually takes care of me more."
"Good boy."
Seeing that the old lady was about to get upset again, Zhao Yeqing hurriedly pulled her to sit down, pulled her hand and said coquettishly: "I'm hungry."
The old lady couldn't help laughing: "Greedy cat, come on, let's eat. Your cousin can't rest today because of work. If she doesn't come back at noon, we won't wait for her."
"Okay, then I'll stew some mutton for dinner and wait for my cousin to come back."
A good mood means a good appetite. Old Mrs. Feng hasn't eaten so much in a long time. After the meal, Zhao Yeqing helped her go downstairs and walk to digest the food.
After coming back half an hour later, I couldn't help feeling sleepy, so I helped the old lady to take a nap, and only came out quietly after she fell asleep.
In the afternoon, the two of them planned to go to the hospital. There was an old Chinese doctor who was the old lady's attending physician, and the two wanted to understand her physical condition.
The doctor is also the attending physician of many leaders now. When I contacted him, I had to ask his assistant.
When they arrived at an office in the hospital, the old Chinese doctor inside had just woken up. When he saw the two of them, his sleepy eyes became almost awake.
Zhao Yeqing had a bad feeling.
"I'm old now, so I get sleepy at noon. You didn't wait long, did you?"
“We just arrived…”
After a few words of greeting, Zhao Yeqing immediately got to the point and asked about Feng Chunyan's health.
"Old people tend to have some problems when they get older, especially women, who have more worries than men and more physical problems. The old sister is in good health."
The old Chinese doctor is nearly eighty years old, ten years younger than Feng Chunyan. People of this age have more or less their own estimates of their physical condition. When talking about it with the young people, the old Chinese doctor can empathize with them.
"...Spend more time with the elderly, and your mood and body will be better..."
Zhao Yeqing listened carefully and wrote down all the precautions the doctor said. After he finished speaking, he looked at the time and found that almost an hour had passed. Zhao Yeqing felt embarrassed for bothering the old man for too long, so he wanted to get up and say goodbye.
The old Chinese doctor raised his hand and lightly pressed her shoulder: "Don't worry, don't worry... I still have something to ask you."
After troubling them for so long, Zhao Yeqing nodded when he heard that they had something to ask them: "Go ahead."
"Last time they said they received a few bottles of tea oil from the small market. Did you bring them?"
"If it was more than a week ago, then it should be."
...
When the two came out of the hospital, they had in their hands not only a piece of paper recording the old lady's physical condition, but also a long order list.
