The old lady didn't quite believe Ye Qingqing's words, but she had already planned to drink some more fish soup and didn't want to dampen the little girl's enthusiasm, so she asked Xiao Li to fetch the fish soup.
"Why are you eating out? It's hot outside." Ye Qingqing found it strange.
The old lady was wealthy, so she installed air conditioning in the house, making it much more comfortable than outside.
“It’s stuffy inside, but it’s nice and airy outside.” The old lady looked nostalgically at the lush sycamore trees, sighed, pointed to the trees on both sides, and said with emotion, “When I was a young girl, this was my favorite road, especially in the summer. I loved to sit under the trees and enjoy the cool shade.”
"Did you grow up in this area?" Ye Qingqing asked curiously.
The old lady smiled and nodded, "I moved to Wushan Road when I was ten years old and lived there until I got married and went to live with my husband's family. But later I moved back to Wushan Road because I couldn't get used to living in other places, and I also have relatives as neighbors here."
Lu Mo's heart skipped a beat: relatives as neighbors?
The old lady's residence is flanked by Western-style houses. One of them belongs to Ye Qingqing, while the other is vacant and its owner is unknown. It is also unclear which house the old lady is referring to.
Xiao Li had already taken out the fish soup, but Ye Qingqing wasn't in a hurry to feed it. Instead, she massaged the acupoints on the old lady's back a few times. Those acupoints could stop vomiting and also stimulate the appetite.
"Why am I hungry..." The old lady smiled, her gaze towards Ye Qingqing filled with more appreciation.
This young girl is truly skilled; she's better than some veteran traditional Chinese medicine practitioners.
"My hands are blessed, and that's no exaggeration, Sister Li, you feed her!" Ye Qingqing joked. Little Li quickly fed her a mouthful, and the old lady swallowed it. After a while, she showed no sign of spitting it out, which made Ye Qingqing very happy.
"I don't feel bad anymore, Xiao Li, please feed me, I'm starving."
The old lady was extremely anxious. She hadn't eaten a proper meal since the surgery, and now she was finally feeling the long-lost hunger.
"Don't rush, drink slowly, you'll feel uncomfortable if you drink too fast." Ye Qingqing's hands didn't stop, she kept massaging the acupoints.
The old lady finished a bowl of fish soup without spitting it out, and even wanted to drink another bowl, but Ye Qingqing stopped her, saying, "Eat small meals frequently, drink it later. I'll teach this technique to Sister Li."
Unfortunately... Xiao Li couldn't learn it after trying for a long time. He kept pressing the wrong places and the force was wrong. He either pressed too lightly or too hard, which made the old lady very uncomfortable. Xiao Li himself was also covered in sweat.
Ye Qingqing was also getting anxious; she still needed to go to the station to pick up her grandmother!
"Girl, you should go back first. You can teach Xiao Li when you have time later," the old lady said.
Ye Qingqing explained shyly, "I have to pick up my grandma at the station this afternoon, so I'll come and teach Sister Li again tomorrow!"
"Go on your way, and be careful on the road!" The old lady smiled very kindly.
After Ye Qingqing and Lu Mo walked away, the old lady asked Xiao Li to push her back to her room. She said that she would feel better after eating and should go back to watch some TV. There was a show called "Between Water and Clouds" that was pretty good. The actress was beautiful and the actor was a crazy man who was always yelling. Although the plot was messy, it might be entertaining.
As for the little girl Ye Qingqing, the old lady plans to give her a big red envelope; she can't let the little girl work for free!
She really likes this little girl!
If only she had a granddaughter! She dreams of having a beautiful and sensible granddaughter, but her daughter-in-law only gave her a grandson. Sigh!
After enjoying a delicious braised rabbit at the Lu family's house, Ye Qingqing hurriedly took Ye Tong to the station. Grandma Ye's journey would take about two hours, and since lunch was eaten early in the countryside, they figured they should arrive soon.
