"Huh? Niannian, how did you get wild boar meat?"
The Ye family was extremely surprised.
You can buy pork in town, or bring it with you when you go to the countryside from the city.
However, wild boar meat cannot be purchased from supply and marketing cooperatives; it may only be available on the black market.
Ye Nian'an told the Ye family about how she saved Shi Minghui's second daughter-in-law.
Jin Xiangyu was overjoyed upon hearing this: "Good, very good. Niannian, with you inheriting your grandfather's medical skills and healing the sick, your grandfather will be able to rest in peace."
"However, we cannot accept this wild boar meat. You should take it back and eat it."
Ye Nian'an pouted upon hearing this: "Mom! We walked for more than an hour to get here, and Yan-ge was so heavy carrying it."
"You want us to take it back? How can that be! You must accept it no matter what!"
Chu Yan chimed in, "Yes, Mom, Niannian is right. This isn't just Niannian's sentiment; it includes the sentiments of our whole family. My mom really misses you."
"Xinyao..."
Thinking of her best friend, with whom she had vowed to be best friends for life, Jin Xiangyu's heart softened.
"Alright, Mom, this is a token of our appreciation from Niannian and her brother-in-law. It would be such a waste if we didn't accept it."
It was the third brother, Ye Sheng, who spoke up and took the initiative to put the things away.
While catching up, everyone prepared to cook rabbit meat to entertain the guests.
"Dad, is your cold better?"
"Yes, Niannian, after you gave me acupuncture last time, I also took cold medicine. If you get some rest, you'll feel much better when you wake up the next day."
Ye Xiang looked at Ye Nian'an with a proud expression.
Previously, Grandpa told Ye Xiang that Ye Nian'an's medical talent was unparalleled and that he was a good candidate to inherit his mantle.
Ye Xiang still didn't quite grasp the reality of it.
Because Ye Nian'an was constantly afraid, he dared not treat the patient, fearing that he might not cure the illness and cause someone's death.
Ye Xiang had never seen Ye Nian'an make a move before he was sent down to the countryside.
Now, after several months apart, the precious pearl that was once held in the palm of my hand has become incredibly strong, capable of standing on its own, and radiating confidence.
She looks just like Jin Xiangyu when she was young.
Niannian, she truly is my and Xiangyu's precious daughter.
So, this time, while the men were busy, the women could hide in the inner room and whisper among themselves.
Ye Nian'an gave Jin Xiangyu some lotion, clam oil, malted milk powder, and some money and tickets.
Upon seeing this, Jin Xiangyu immediately declined, saying, "Niannian, you're... no, no, you should take it back and keep it for yourself."
"Mom, do you still have to pretend to be strong in front of your daughter?"
Ye Nian'an touched Jin Xiangyu's face, feeling extremely distressed: "You used to be the most beautiful woman in the family. Now that you've become like this, you must be feeling very sad."
"Although we can't change the current situation, using these products to protect your skin will prevent it from becoming irreversible. Malted milk powder also provides you with more nutrition."
"The weather is hot and the sun is strong now. When you go out to work, you must pay more attention to protection. You should also protect your skin before going to bed. This is not only for beauty, but also for your health."
"Nian Nian..."
Feeling the care from her beloved daughter, Jin Xiangyu's eyes welled up with tears: "You've really grown up, become stronger, and become much more sensible."
"I was worried about you at first, but now it seems that I was completely unprepared."
Nestled in Jin Xiangyu's arms, Ye Nian'an said with emotion, "Mom, I've grown up now and I can take care of myself."
"Besides, you have the Chu family by your side, so you should cherish them even more and love yourself more."
Jin Xiangyu hugged Ye Nian'an, gently patting her back as she had when she was a child, and softly asked, "Does Chu Yan know that you've given me all this?"
"Although I really want to say that couples should always have some little secrets, I don't think it's right to keep this from Yan Ge. I told Yan Ge about it last night when we were going to sleep."
“Brother Yan is very supportive of me. Besides, these things were bought with the money you left me, so he has even less reason to object.”
Actually, it would be more convenient if Ye Nian'an came alone.
Because she has a private space with a lot of things stored inside, it's no problem for her to support her family.
You won't have to carry a big bag that can't actually hold much and is also hard to spot.
There was no other way; for safety reasons, Chu Yan had to lead the way over the back mountain.
Otherwise, if something really happens, you'll be completely helpless.
What Ye Nian'an could secretly give Jin Xiangyu were only small items that wouldn't take up much space.
Once I become a barefoot doctor in the village, it will be much more convenient for me to come and provide support in Houpu Township.
Jin Xiangyu breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good..."
Until the aroma of meat wafted over, whetting the appetite in my stomach.
Ye Hui knocked on the door and called out from outside, "Niannian, Mom, it's time to eat."
"good."
After helping to pack up the things, Ye Nian'an and Jin Xiangyu held hands and went to the outer room for dinner.
As soon as Ye Nian'an sat down, Ye Xiang picked up his chopsticks, put a piece of meat in her bowl, and also put a piece in Jin Xiangyu's bowl.
"Niannian, Xiangyu, quickly try it and see if this rabbit meat is delicious."
Ye Nian'an took a bite and her eyes lit up: "Hmm~ This rabbit meat doesn't have a fishy smell, it tastes good. Dad, you've learned how to marinate it very well this time."
Ye Xiang smiled slightly: "It's all thanks to your second brother's interest in these things that he was able to pickle them. I'm glad you like them."
Ye Hui shrugged: "Dad, don't be modest. Your notes are really detailed. There were some steps I had forgotten, and I was too embarrassed to ask others, so I looked through your notes to find out."
Ye Nian'an gave a thumbs up: "Dad and Second Brother are the best!"
Afraid of being forgotten by Ye Nian'an, Ye Sheng quickly raised his hand and said, "Nian'an, this time the rice was cooked by Third Brother! Was it delicious?"
Ye Nian'an didn't hold back her praise, taking a bite of rabbit meat and rice, chewing it slowly, and mumbling, "Delicious~"
Jin Xiangyu looked at Chu Yan with a kind expression: "Chu Yan, eat more, don't be shy."
"Yes, thank you, Mom."
The harmonious atmosphere was just right, which made Ye feel interested. He even took out a bottle of sample wine that he had brought with him from under the bed and poured a glass for everyone.
"Let's wish Niannian success in passing the barefoot doctor exam in advance! Cheers!"
Cheers!
