Last year, Zhou Yueyun specially brought her parents-in-law over for Ye Qingqing's treatment. There was nothing seriously wrong with them, but their vital energy was depleted and their constitution was weakened. It was fortunate that they came to Ye Qingqing's place, otherwise the old couple would not have lived for more than a few years. The damage was too severe, and even if they were well taken care of, they would not have lived for more than a few years.
Ye Qingqing prescribed some medicine to help the elderly couple improve their health. After taking it for six months, they saw significant improvement and were able to work in the fields again. However, Ye Qingqing also told Du Guoqiang and his wife the truth: she could only give the elderly couple ten to fifteen years at most.
This already made Du Guoqiang extremely grateful. He had consulted many experts, who all said that his parents only had three or four years left, five years at most. He was grateful that Ye Qingqing could help his parents live for another year.
Moreover, his parents are already in their early seventies, and if they live another ten years or so, it will be a long life. In the countryside, this would be considered a happy death, a peaceful passing, and there's nothing to be sad about.
“It would be good to go to the countryside for training, but unfortunately I have nowhere to go. My family is from the city, and I don’t want to send Zhao Wenshan there either. Otherwise, I would have let Xiao Jie stay in the countryside for a while.” Lin Baiwei was also quite regretful.
Zhou Yueyun smiled and said, "If you don't mind, let Xiao Jie and Xiao Hu keep each other company and go play at my in-laws' place. My in-laws are very careful and will definitely be able to take good care of Xiao Jie."
"What are you saying? I'd be happy to do it, but I'm afraid it would be too much for your in-laws. The two kids are so noisy." Lin Baiwei was genuinely happy to do it.
Du Guoqiang's parents stayed here for a month last year. They are clearly philanthropists, completely different from Zhao Wenshan's parents. They are kind and gentle, and keep the place very clean. No wonder they raised such a kind-hearted son as Du Guoqiang.
“After taking Qingqing’s medicine, they felt much better. My father-in-law planted a few rows of vegetables, and my mother-in-law raised a few chickens. They are used to working and feel uncomfortable if they don’t work for a day. Also, my brother-in-law lives with my parents-in-law, and my sister-in-law is a capable person who can help take care of them.”
Zhou Yueyun continued, "If it weren't for my husband not having anyone to cook, I would have liked to go back to my hometown for two months. My hometown has beautiful mountains and rivers, and the scenery is wonderful. In the summer, you only need a small blanket at night, so there's no need for air conditioning. It's incredibly comfortable. There's also plenty of food. At this time of year, the mountains are full of wild fruits. When I was a child, I didn't need to eat in the summer. I would go up the mountain to pick wild fruits, which are everywhere at this time of year. They're sweet and sour, and my lips would turn blue from eating them. I didn't even need to eat rice. Have you ever tried them?"
Ye Qingqing and Lin Baiwei shook their heads in unison; they didn't even know what black rice was.
"Is it black rice?" Lin Baiwei asked, then immediately realized he had made a fool of himself. Zhou Yueyun had said it was wild fruit, so black rice definitely wasn't wild fruit.
Zhou Yueyun laughed heartily, “I can tell you’re city kids just by listening to you. Black rice is the best wild fruit. Oh dear, I can’t explain it to you. It’s a pity there aren’t any on the mountain here, otherwise I would have picked some for you to try. It’s incredibly delicious. There’s also black peony now, which is also delicious.”
“I’ve eaten wild raspberries before, and they’re here too. They’re bright red, sweet and sour, and really delicious,” Ye Qingqing said.
“We have so much delicious food back home. I could stay on the mountain for ten days and not starve. There’s just too much to eat. The only problem with our hometown is the inconvenient transportation. Otherwise, we could definitely make a tourist area.”
Ye Qingqing and Lin Baiwei were both intrigued by her words, especially the black rice, which sounded delicious.
Zhou Yueyun herself said she was craving it, so she suggested, "How about we go for a couple of days? It only takes four or five hours to drive there. Qingqing and I don't mind, we can stay a few more days. Bai Wei is probably too busy with work to have time."
