“Okay, let’s meet at the exit.” Zhou Bingchen agreed.
“Pearl! Why don’t you and the children come to Beijing this time? Old Master Zhou will definitely want to meet you,” Aunt Tao said earnestly.
"No, Grandma Tao, Jiakai still has to go to school!" Zhao Zhenzhu refused.
In some ways, Zhao Zhenzhu's personality is quite similar to Zhou Bingchen's.
Zhou Jin's attitude was unclear, and Zhao Zhenzhu didn't want to rush into it.
“Alright… you can go to Beijing when Jiakai has his winter break,” said Aunt Tao.
Zhou Jin is in poor health, and even if Zhao Zhenzhu and her children go this time, Zhou Jin may not be able to find the time to see them.
For Aunt Tao, sending her child to school was a big deal.
You should not miss a class unless absolutely necessary.
It would be better to wait a month or two until Zhou Jin's health improves, and then have Zhou Bingchen come back to pick up Zhao Zhenzhu and the others to go to the capital together.
Zhao Zhenzhu smiled but didn't say anything.
Some things are better kept to oneself than announced to others.
"Pearl, Grandma Tao has something she'd like to ask you for a favor. Is that alright?" Aunt Tao asked.
“Grandma Tao, please speak.” Zhao Zhenzhu agreed.
“A while ago, I went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy cloth…” Aunt Tao rambled on and on, telling Zhao Zhenzhu about how she had almost fainted from anger that day and how Huang Xiuhong had helped her up.
After saying that, Aunt Tao picked up a basket from beside her feet and put it on the table, saying, "Pearl! When you have time, could you please deliver these things to Huang Xiuhong's house in Huangjia Village? I promised Huang Xiuhong that I would visit her. I was busy with family matters the first few days after I came to town, so I didn't go. I was planning to go a few days ago, but your Uncle Tao said that they are cracking down on spies recently and told me not to leave town, so I couldn't go again. Now, I have to go to Beijing, and I don't know when I will be back! Could you go for me and apologize to Xiuhong for me? When I come back from Beijing, I will personally apologize to her."
“Okay,” Zhao Zhenzhu agreed.
Huangjia Village is right next to Taohua Town, only a ten or twenty-minute walk away.
Zhao Zhenzhu has gotten a little tired of making hair accessories these past few days and is thinking of going out for a walk!
"Pearl, thank you." Only then could Aunt Tao finally put her mind at ease.
For Huang Xiuhong, it was perhaps just a small act of kindness—helping Aunt Tao out.
For Aunt Tao, Huang Xiuhong's small act of kindness was no less than a life-saving grace.
Such a great favor cannot be satisfied with just a few words of thanks.
Aunt Tao prepared many gifts, intending to give them to Huang Xiuhong when the opportunity arose.
Unfortunately, the gifts weren't prepared properly at first, and then Tao Jiadong was worried that Aunt Tao wouldn't make arrangements after leaving town, which is why they haven't been able to be delivered for so many days.
For someone as polite as Aunt Tao, the fact that the gifts failed to reach the Huang family was tantamount to her being ungrateful, and one can imagine how upset she felt.
Zhao Zhenzhu agreed to help, and Aunt Tao was finally relieved.
While Aunt Tao and Zhao Zhenzhu were talking, Wang Jing was taking Wu Meiyun's pulse.
After taking Wu Meiyun's pulse, Wang Jing prescribed three formulas.
"Sister-in-law, after you finish these seven doses of medicine, go to the hospital to get the other medicines according to the numbers written on the prescription. If nothing unexpected happens, you'll be much better after finishing these prescriptions," Wang Jing said with a relaxed expression.
"Thank you, sister-in-law. Thank you, sister-in-law." Zhao Qingshan beamed and kept thanking Wang Jing.
One prescription lasts for seven days, so three prescriptions would make twenty-one doses of medicine. Wu Meiyun had four days' worth of medicine left.
In other words, Wu Meiyun will be fully recovered in less than a month.
How could Zhao Qingshan not be pleased?
"Brother Qingshan, you should be thanking me," Tao Jiadong joked.
"Go away, go away! Meiyun's illness was cured by your sister-in-law, what business is it of yours?" Zhao Qingshan said displeased.
"Brother Qingshan, if I hadn't shamelessly pursued Xiaojing back then, how would you have had the chance to meet her? Sister-in-law, don't you think that makes sense?" Tao Jiadong asked Wu Meiyun with a smile.
“That makes sense, so we should not only thank Xiaojing, but also thank you,” Wu Meiyun said with a smile.
You know your own body best.
In the past, Wu Meiyun would feel tired after doing just a little work, and sometimes if she did too much work without realizing it, she would have to stay in bed for several days.
Over the years, Wu Meiyun has seen many doctors and taken many medications, but unfortunately, none of them have been effective.
No, it's not that it had no effect, but rather that it had the opposite effect. Wu Meiyun took too much medicine, her appetite decreased, and her health deteriorated further.
After several years of this ordeal, Zhao Qingshan and Wu Meiyun gave up on treatment.
No treatment is needed; just take good care of yourself. Your body will just be a little weak.
After taking the medicine prescribed by Wang Jing, Wu Meiyun's health improved more and more.
Wu Meiyun is busy with this and that every day, and hasn't had a relapse recently.
What was said without malice may have been taken to heart by the listener.
As Zhao Zhenzhu listened to the elders' jokes, a storm raged in her heart.
In their past lives, they neither met Tao Jiadong nor Wang Jing. Because Aunt Tao died in an accident shortly after arriving in Peach Blossom Town.
On the second day after Tao Jiadong took office, he and Wang Jing took Tao Da Niang's body and left Taohua Town, returning to their hometown.
With Tao Jiadong gone, there's no one left to help Zhou Jin look for her grandson in Peach Blossom Town.
Grandma Tao lived a good life.
Zhao Qingshan and Tao Jiadong, old friends, meet again; Wang Jing, the miraculous doctor, cures Wu Meiyun's illness; Zhou Bingchen finds his relatives.
By the way, the day that withered branch in her space sprouted new buds seemed to be the same day Zhao Qingshan met Tao Jiadong.
Could it be that the tragedy of their family in their previous life was because they didn't meet Tao Jiadong, the key figure who broke the deadlock?
Zhao Zhenzhu seemed to be deep in thought.
“Tao Jiadong, you’re getting more and more shameless. You even dare to steal your sister-in-law’s credit. Sister-in-law, when you get back, make Tao Jiadong kneel on an abacus or a washboard. That’ll teach him a lesson.” Zhao Qingshan urged.
Every time Zhao Qingshan argues with Tao Jiadong, he feels that his mindset has become much younger.
“No, Jia Dong is the one who makes the decisions in my family. Unlike you, who’s used to kneeling on abacus beads and washboards,” Wang Jing said seriously.
“I’m the one who makes the decisions in my own home.” Zhao Qingshan blushed.
"Hahaha... Brother Qingshan, you're trying to cover it up." Tao Jiadong pointed at Zhao Qingshan and burst into laughter.
The group chatted and laughed for about half an hour before dispersing.
Tomorrow they're going on a long trip, and Aunt Tao and the others are busy going home to pack their luggage!
The next morning, Zhao Zhenzhu was dragged out of bed by Wu Meiyun.
"Mom, it's only 6:30, what are you doing?" Zhao Zhenzhu asked.
“Bingchen is leaving soon, aren’t you going to take the children to see him off?” Wu Meiyun said with exasperation.
“Bingchen said last night that I didn’t need to see you off. Mom, I’m still sleepy! I want to sleep a little longer.” Zhao Zhenzhu kept yawning and was trying to crawl into the quilt.
