"Aye?" Lin Ran called out tentatively. He didn't know whether he had made a mistake or not.
Bai Ye's eyes lit up with a smile: "Our Ranran is really amazing. She even recognized that it was me. Sit down obediently. I'll get you some clothes to wear."
When Lin Ran was praised by Bai Ye, he felt dizzy as if he had drunk a sip of wine. He sat still and waited for Bai Ye to bring the clothes. Then he followed Bai Ye's instructions and raised his hands when he was told to. He was very obedient.
With the cooperation of the two, Lin Ran quickly put on his clothes.
Afterwards, Bai Ye helped Lin Ran tie her hair. He was very skilled and finished it in no time. Then he brought water for Lin Ran to wash her face. Zhang Qiuyu also brought breakfast.
The sudden presence of a stranger in the room undoubtedly made Lin Ran nervous, and he subconsciously grabbed Bai Ye's clothes.
Bai Ye patted Lin Ran's hand and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, it's your mother who's here to bring you breakfast."
Zhang Qiuyu put the food on the table and walked to the bed.
She and Lin Ran hadn't spoken to each other since Lin Ran came home yesterday. She didn't know what to say at this moment, so she kept winking at Bai Ye.
Bai Ye almost died of laughter. Both the old man and the child were socially anxious.
Before Zhang Qiuyu's eyes shot out, Bai Ye quickly said to Lin Ran, "Ranran, you're at home with Mom today. If you have anything to say, just tell Mom."
Zhang Qiuyu echoed, "Yes, yes, don't be polite with me. If you're embarrassed to call me mom, you can call me Aunt Zhang first."
Bai Ye: "Well, you can call me Aunt Zhang. You can change it later."
Lin Ran listened to the two people singing the same tune and didn't know how to respond.
Seeing that Lin Ran was still a little uneasy, Zhang Qiuyu spoke in a gentler voice: "Ranran, don't be afraid. I will take good care of you even when Ah Ye is not at home."
Lin Ran heard that Zhang Qiuyu's voice was very gentle, so he let down his guard a little and slowly loosened Bai Ye's clothes.
Zhang Qiuyu noticed Lin Ran's little action and said to send him away: "Aye, go to the clinic. Ranran, I'm here."
Bai Ye estimated that the time was almost up, and said, "Excuse me, Mom."
Before leaving, Bai Ye explained some precautions. Zhang Qiuyu repeated them after listening, and finally joked, "Don't worry, I remember everything and I promise to take good care of your precious child."
When Lin Ran heard Zhang Qiuyu joking that he was Bai Ye's "baby", his transparent white face turned a shade of red, and he looked much healthier.
Bai Ye sighed helplessly and left the room reluctantly.
As soon as Bai Ye left, Lin Ran's peaceful heart was instantly lifted up again.
He had seen too many people who said one thing to your face and another behind your back, and Tian Yun was one of them.
In his memory, there was a period of time when Tian Yun pretended to be very nice to him in front of others. Once there were no outsiders around, Tian Yun changed his face, and later he even stopped pretending.
He was afraid that Zhang Qiuyu would be the same.
If Zhang Qiuyu also said one thing to your face and another behind your back...
"Of course, let's eat."
Zhang Qiuyu's voice was still very gentle, and the bad situation he had imagined did not happen.
Zhang Qiuyu's heart melted when she saw Lin Ran sitting obediently on the bed.
She dreamed of having a well-behaved child, but Bai Ye had been like a little adult since he was young. Apart from medical books, he was not interested in anything else.
Later, Jiang Changan came. Jiang Changan's personality was a little more lively than Bai Ye's, but Jiang Changan and Bai Ye studied medicine for a long time, and his personality became exactly the same as Bai Ye's.
She hoped that Lin Ran would not be like those two and just be well-behaved.
"Aye said you haven't been able to eat well these past few days, so I'll make you some lean meat porridge. Try it."
Zhang Qiuyu stirred the porridge twice with a spoon, and made sure it was not too hot before scooping a spoonful to feed Lin Ran.
"Why don't you take a small sip first to see if it's hot?"
Lin Ran tried a bite and found it was indeed lean meat porridge, very fragrant.
“Not too hot, just right, very delicious.”
Lin Ran's affirmation made Zhang Qiuyu smile: "I'm glad you like it. Come on, eat more."
The more Zhang Qiuyu looked at Lin Ran, the more he liked him. When he first saw Lin Ran yesterday, he thought that he was too thin, like a refugee. Today, the more he looked at him, the more he liked him. He wished he could raise Lin Ran to be plump and white.
Bai Ye did not leave the house so quickly after leaving the room. He made sure that Zhang Qiuyu and Lin Ran got along well before heading to the clinic.
The clinic opens at the beginning of the morning and closes at the beginning of the evening, commonly known as nine to five. Jiang Changan usually opens the clinic half an hour in advance to connect with those who deliver medicinal materials and to dispense medicine for those who come with prescriptions early in the morning.
Those who deliver medicinal herbs basically come once every five days. If someone brings medicinal herbs to sell, Bai Ye will also buy them.
At noon, Bai Ye went home for lunch and went to see Lin Ran. He made sure that Lin Ran was doing well at home. After applying medicine on Lin Ran's hand, he went back to the clinic.
At the same time, in Linjia Village, Lu Bochen went up the mountain to hunt in the morning. He wanted to take advantage of the time when many animals were hibernating to see if he could kill more. If he had time in the next few days, he would propose to the Lin family, otherwise he was really afraid that Tian Yun would betroth Lin Xi to someone else for money.
If he had proposed to Tian Yun earlier and brought Lin Ran home, Lin Ran would not be so pitiful. He didn't want to repeat the same mistake of losing Lin and then losing Lin Xi.
Lin Xi was studying how to make money at home. After all, his family was penniless and could barely make ends meet. He didn't want to live like this forever. He wanted to live a good life in the future.
＊
Lin Ran stayed at Bai Ye's house for a few days. Every morning, Bai Ye would change the medicine on his eyes and apply medicine on his hands with him before going to the clinic. At noon, he would come back to have lunch with them, apply medicine on his hands before going out. At night, the two of them stayed in the same room, Lin Ran slept on the bed and Bai Ye on the couch.
Lin Ran and Zhang Qiuyu are getting along more and more harmoniously.
Lin Ran learned from Zhang Qiuyu that Bai Ye used to be a medical geek. Apart from treating patients and studying diseases, he had no other thoughts. This is why Bai Ye is still unmarried in his twenties.
Lin Ran also told Zhang Qiuyu the truth that his body had been failing for a long time and it was impossible for him to have children. He was frostbitten every winter and was not well taken care of. It was a miracle that he was able to survive.
After hearing this, Zhang Qiuyu kept comforting Lin Ran not to think too much about it. Having children depends on fate. If she doesn't have grandchildren, she can only say that she is not destined to have younger generations in this life.
Lin Ran completely let down his guard and opened his heart to Zhang Qiuyu and Bai Ye.
A few days later, Bai Ye was sitting in the hall when two uninvited guests came - Lu Bochen and Lin Xi.
One of them is tall, the other is petite; one has a resolute look, the other is beautiful and pure. They look like a perfect match.
Bai Ye thought that the two would ask him about Lin Ran as soon as they opened their mouths, but he didn't expect that Lu Bochen put the thing in his arms in front of Bai Ye as soon as he came in.
"Doctor Bai, this is a ginseng. How much is it worth?"
Lu Bochen is usually very serious, but it's an unconscious seriousness.
If he hadn't said that he was here to sell ginseng, Bai Ye would have thought he was here to rob someone.
