The family was filled with gratitude towards Aunt Huang.
Liu Feng said, "Aunt Huang, I met her in Hanjiang City. Her son was bitten by a poisonous snake, and she sought help from my senior brother..."
When He Qunfang heard that Liu Feng had cured Aunt Huang's son and was being called a "little miracle doctor," she stood up excitedly, covered Liu Feng's little head, and kissed his cheek happily, her voice full of pride: "My son is so amazing!"
"So, if Mom is sick, you can take care of her too?" He Qunfang asked happily.
Looking at his mother's happy face, Liu Feng felt a warmth in his heart: "Dad, Mom, with me here, I promise our whole family will be healthy and live to be a hundred years old! And the chilblains on our youngest son's hands, I'll put some medicine on them tonight, and they'll be healed in a few days!"
After saying that, Liu Feng pulled Liu Fei, who was standing to the side, over to examine the chilblains on his hands caused by the cold. He asked with concern, "Little brother, does it hurt?" Liu Fei shook his head, pulled his little hand back, and said sensibly, "Second brother, it doesn't hurt."
"I'll apply some medicine for you tonight, and you'll be fine!"
Liu Feng didn't explain much about how amazing his medical skills were to his family.
In particular, Liu Feng did not intend to let his family know about his identity and abilities as a cultivator.
"A tree that stands out in the forest will be felled by the wind; a person who excels above others will be criticized by the masses." His master's dying words instructed him to cultivate humility and learn to conceal his talents. Liu Feng never forgot this!
"Youngest brother, go open the package I brought back and see what's inside. Aunt Huang gave it to me," Liu Feng instructed.
Upon hearing that there was something good, Liu Fei immediately ran excitedly to get Liu Feng's large package.
While searching, he asked curiously, "Second brother, what's inside this big gourd?"
Liu Feng smiled mysteriously and said, "I'll show you what's inside the gourd at dinner. There's something really good in there!"
Before he could finish speaking, Liu Fei exclaimed excitedly, "Wow, so many delicious things! There's White Rabbit candy, and some other things I don't know what they are..."
Everyone was chatting when Liu Fei's excited exclamation interrupted them. Liu Yue stood up, walked over, picked up a large package, and carried it to the small table where everyone was sitting. "It's quite heavy. How much stuff is in here?"
He Qunfang also came over, touched the bag of the package with her hand, and exclaimed, "The material of this package is really good, it looks so high-end. Did Aunt Huang give this to you too?"
Liu Feng nodded and hummed in agreement.
Next, Liu Yue and Liu Fei began to take out the items from the package one by one, including nougat, peanut brittle, dried fruit, sesame flakes, malted milk powder, and so on.
Looking at all the delicious food, Liu Fei's eyes sparkled. He counted them and exclaimed, "Wow, so much!"
"Second brother, look, there's a red envelope in the inner pocket of this bundle!" Liu Yue said as she handed the red envelope to Liu Feng.
Liu Feng took the red envelope, opened it, and found two brand-new bills inside.
He Qunfang was surprised when she saw the money in the red envelope: "How come there's so much? Aunt Huang is too kind. How can we accept such a big red envelope?"
In impoverished and underdeveloped rural areas, children from relatives' families are expected to receive red envelopes when they visit for the first time during festivals.
However, the money in red envelopes is usually not much; it's often just a symbolic few yuan, along with a blessing. The largest red envelope usually contains no more than ten yuan.
However, Aunt Huang's red envelope for Liu Feng contained so much!
Two hundred yuan—only a wealthy family could afford that. In any case, He Qunfang had never heard of such a large red envelope before.
This made He Qunfang feel somewhat uneasy and guilty.
Seeing his mother's somewhat uneasy expression, Liu Feng comforted her, "Mom, this is Aunt Huang's kind gesture. Let's accept it. We'll thank her properly when we have the chance later."
He Qunfang nodded, but still couldn't help but remind her, "Aunt Huang is so kind to you. If you see Aunt Huang again, you can't ask her for anything, okay?"
"Mom, you and Dad, please accept it without worry. I will remember Aunt Huang's kindness and will definitely repay them when I have the chance. You don't need to feel embarrassed," Liu Feng replied with a smile.
At this point, Liu Feng looked at the candies on the table and said to the siblings, "These candies look pretty good. Big sister, little sister, you two can share them. I don't really like candy."
Hearing Liu Feng say that, the siblings felt a little embarrassed, but they couldn't help but feel a little hopeful.
At this moment, He Qunfang said, "Xiaoyue, divide these candies into three portions. Keep your second brother's portion for me, and you and the youngest brother each get one portion. Pack them up yourselves."
After receiving instructions from their mother, He Qunfang, the siblings quickly divided the candy among themselves.
Liu Fei was the first to unwrap a White Rabbit milk candy, holding one half in his hand and licking the other half on his tongue, making "hiss, hiss, hiss" sounds from time to time, appearing to be thoroughly enjoying himself.
Liu Yue couldn't resist unwrapping a candy and savoring it in small bites, taking quite a while to finish a White Rabbit candy.
Seeing the satisfied expressions on the siblings' faces, Liu Feng also felt a sense of satisfaction. He took two White Rabbit candies from his own candy, unwrapped them, and handed them to He Qunfang and Liu Changqing.
Once the candy wrapper was torn open, they couldn't resist eating it.
He Qunfang put the milk candy in her mouth, and a sweet feeling immediately welled up in her heart: "This candy is so sweet!"
Suddenly, everyone felt that life had become sweet.
He Qunfang put away Liu Feng's red envelope and the candy she had received, placing them in the closet in her room, her face beaming with a happy smile.
The family was reunited for the first time and were very affectionate. He Qunfang would often grab Liu Feng's hand and look at her son with deep affection, as if she was afraid that if she let go, her son would disappear.
Liu Changqing stood aside, looking at his wife and son, his heart filled with emotion.
He suggested that the mother and daughter chat for a while longer.
Then he took Liu Feng's hand and led his son toward his uncle's house, letting the child meet his grandparents and other relatives first.
Liu Feng's grandfather, Old Man Liu.
He was sitting on a chair in the main room, his expression complex, as if he were waiting for something.
Upon seeing a strange child following behind Liu Changqing as they walked in, the old man's already cloudy eyes suddenly became bright and alert.
He stood up excitedly and repeatedly praised, "Good, good, it's good that you're back!"
He had heard the news of Liu Feng's return home a while ago, and after hesitating several times, he decided to go and see him.
Looking back, he deeply regrets his decision to abandon Liu Feng. He almost lost his grandson; what a terrible mistake!
My grandfather's branch of the clan has never been large, and having many children and grandchildren was his obsession.
