Around noon, Liu Gang returned with the grain he had bought and was overjoyed to see Du Yuhan back. He was finally free from the kitchen.
Having gotten used to Du Yuhan's cooking, he found his own cooking to be terrible.
In the evening, Du Yuhan naturally took over the cooking duties. After dinner, Han Yi first asked Liu Gang to boil a pot of hot water for Du Yuhan to take a bath.
After such a long and tiring journey, Han Yi first told Du Yuhan to take a shower and get some rest that night.
That evening, Han Yixian told Liu Gang about asking him to go home and check on things.
Liu Gang hadn't been home for two years and really wanted to go back for a visit. But he was worried about his older brother.
Han Yixian said, "You haven't been home for more than two years. It's time to go home and visit. Send some food and money home with you. The harvest is bad now, so let your family prepare in advance."
Now that Yuhan is back, and Qiwen is looking after you on your way home tonight, it's alright. Stay home for a few more days, no need to rush back, and do more chores around the house. Who knows when you'll be home again after you come back.”
Liu Gang thought for a moment and said, "I'll listen to you, Brother Xian. I'll go get a letter of introduction and buy a train ticket to go home and visit you tomorrow. While I'm away, don't let Yuhan go into the mountains. Let her stay home and take care of you."
Han Yi nodded and said, "You don't need to worry about me. With Yu Han here, she will take good care of me. Tomorrow, I'll pack some food from home and take it back with me."
Back in the courtyard, Du Yuhan slept soundly that night, as did Han Yixian. With Du Yuhan back, his heart was at peace, and he would no longer suffer from insomnia like he had in the past few days.
The thought that Du Yuhan was sleeping in the room next to the living room filled Han Yixian with immense satisfaction. As long as Du Yuhan was in his sight, nothing else mattered.
The next day, Han Yixian told Du Yuhan that Liu Gang was going home and asked Du Yuhan to prepare some food for Liu Gang to take home.
Han Yixian gave Liu Gang some more money and food coupons for his journey. Any extra money and coupons could be kept at home for emergencies.
Du Yuhan also prepared some dried mushrooms, dried black fungus, dates, dried vegetables, etc. for Liu Gang, as well as a large bag of walnut kernels. These are all good things that are not easy to buy.
Liu Gang was very touched to see that Du Yuhan had prepared so many things for him. Du Yuhan had brought most of these things home herself.
With the current food shortage, these are foods that can be eaten as a substitute for grain, and they are all precious items.
Liu Gang went to the retirement home to get a letter of introduction and then went to the city to buy a train ticket.
The next day, Du Yuhan and Liu Gang rode their bikes to the train station.
Du Yuhan is now tall enough to ride Liu Gang's old-fashioned bicycle. She can ride it home by herself without any problem.
After seeing Liu Gang off, Du Yuhan took the opportunity of this trip to the city to send some things to her parents, her two older brothers, and her adoptive parents' family. She even sent some things to the Liang family.
Of course, she couldn't forget about He Haobo's milk powder; she would send him several bags every time, enough for her little nephew.
After Liu Gang left, only Han Yixian and Du Yuhan were left at home during the day.
Du Yuhan took Han Yi's pulse first, then frowned and said, "Brother Han, what have you been doing these past few days? Why do you have so much internal heat?"
Han Yixian looked at Du Yuhan's hand on his wrist and said, "It's because I was worried about you. I was afraid you would get into danger. And when the date we agreed on came, you didn't come back on time. I was so anxious. How could I not be angry?"
Du Yuhan ignored Han Yixian's words and said, "I'll take care of you for the next couple of days, and then I'll treat your leg."
Han Yixian said, "I will follow your arrangements."
Du Yuhan selected several suitable herbs from the ones she had gathered and brewed them for Han Yixian to drink in order to clear his liver fire.
Yuan Qiwen attends classes during the day and only returns to the courtyard to live at night.
Now that the weather has warmed up, Yuan Qiwen has moved back to the side room. It's more comfortable to have a room to himself.
While taking care of Han Yixian's health for the past two days, Du Yuhan started brewing medicinal ointment in the kitchen.
This ointment was a cover for the ointment she bought from the space store.
You can simply switch between the two ointments when the time comes.
Han Yixian knew that Du Yuhan had started making medicine for his leg, and he felt both nervous and expectant.
When Du Yuhan said the ointment was ready, Han Yixian couldn't contain his excitement. Whether his leg would get better depended on these next few days.
Two days later, Du Yuhan took Han Yixian's pulse again and, after confirming that there was nothing wrong with his body, prepared to perform surgery on his leg.
Yuan Qiwen went to school after breakfast in the morning. Du Yuhan tidied up the east room and then closed the courtyard gate and the house door to prevent anyone from accidentally barging in and finding anything.
Du Yuhan wanted to bring Han Yixian into the space to perform surgery, so she had to make Han Yixian unconscious before she could proceed.
Du Yuhan had Han Yixian lie down on the kang (a heated brick bed), took out a silver needle and said to Han Yixian, "I'll seal a few acupoints for you first, and then I'll treat you."
In fact, Du Yuhan's silver needles contained a powerful sedative, and Han Yixian would soon lose consciousness.
Han Yixian had no doubts and simply nodded, assuming it was a necessary procedure.
Du Yuhan inserted silver needles into Han Yixian's leg. Although Han Yixian tried his best to stay awake, he still couldn't resist falling into a deep sleep.
In the instant he fell into a deep sleep, he knew that Du Yuhan had done it on purpose, but he was relieved to fall asleep because he trusted Du Yuhan completely.
Seeing that Han Yixian had lost consciousness, Du Yuhan took him into the space, placed him on the operating table and began pre-operative preparations, and then performed surgery on Han Yixian's leg.
Han Yixian's legs had severed tendons and veins, and Du Yuhan's job was to reconnect them and help them heal.
Even the water Du Yuhan used to wash Han Yixian was from the space well. This well water could promote the growth of various tissues in Han Yixian's legs, and with the addition of the tendon-setting and bone-repairing ointment, Han Yixian's legs were guaranteed to heal.
Du Yuhan performed the surgery quickly. After suturing, she immediately applied a layer of ointment around Han Yi's leg. After bandaging Han Yi with gauze, she quickly took him out of the space.
Han Yixian has a strong will, and she was afraid that if he woke up halfway through and the current situation was not right, it would be troublesome.
Du Yuhan first helped Han Yi lie down on the kang (a heated brick bed), then she opened the bolt on the courtyard gate and the door to the house. Otherwise, if someone came and saw that the doors were bolted, it would not only arouse suspicion but also attract gossip.
Han Yi woke up in the afternoon. When he opened his eyes, he found himself lying on the kang (a heated brick bed) in his room, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he thought of his legs and suddenly felt a dull pain in his legs, especially in his calves, which had been numb.
This feeling thrilled him; it meant his legs had regained their senses, and Du Yuhan had truly healed them.
