Huo Mansion.
"Aunt Fu, please come quickly. Huo Er and Huo Jiu brought back a lot of vegetables. We can cook them for dinner tonight. Xiao Bei and his sister will definitely like them."
"Second Young Master, you are finally back."
"Hey, Fulai Village is so much fun. Where are my sisters? I brought them some delicious food."
"Madam Wu came yesterday, and they are all in the young master's room."
"Oh, my grandmother is here!"
"Grandma, you're here to see us." Huo Nan rushed into Huo Bei's room.
He met one of his favorite people, his grandmother, in the outer compartment of the bedroom!
"Grandma! You're so lucky to come and see us! I missed you so much!"
"You're still so impatient, you're sweating all over. Hurry up and sit down and have a cup of cold tea."
Jiang used a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off the face of her second grandson who was squatting next to her, while speaking lovingly.
"Grandma is in no hurry to leave. Your brother came to look for her before leaving for Beijing. She packed her bags and rushed over."
"Your brother said that you're the one he needs to keep an eye on during this period. You're not allowed to act naughty and run around. Do you understand?"
"I understand, grandma." Huo Nan drank two cups of tea.
"Brother, is it fun in the village?" Huo Bei looked at his second brother with some anticipation.
"Yes, Xiaobei, sister, Fulai Village is very fun. The village is close to the mountains. I even went there to hunt birds and collect bird eggs. There is also a river near the village. We also went there to catch fish and picked up wild duck eggs in the reeds."
"Sister Han fried the fish we caught. It was delicious, even the bones were crispy! The fried wild duck eggs were also delicious. The food in their house is so delicious."
"Their home is very lively, with many people. We can chat while eating. They are very busy every day, but they are also very happy."
"Brother, are you having fun?"
"Of course, sister. The air there is as good as the air on the farm. We are not too restrained when we meet and talk. I like staying there."
"You're so happy you're not even thinking about leaving. You still have to follow the proper etiquette. You never overstepped the bounds when you're a guest at someone else's house, did you?"
"Grandma, I know. My brother has specifically instructed me. How dare I disobey him?"
"Brother, there's a scent in this basket. What did you bring?"
"Oh, I forgot about it while I was talking to you guys. Sister Han specifically asked me to bring this back for you guys to eat together. She also brought two large baskets of vegetables, which will last for a while."
"And this little porcelain bottle. Sister Han said it contains ginseng pills and asked me to take it to the court doctor to see if it's okay for Xiaobei to take."
"How could you accept such a valuable gift?"
"Grandma, since Sister Han insisted on giving it to me, I couldn't refuse. I also hope Xiaobei will get better soon after taking the medicine. Sister Han said that if Xiaobei and my sister are willing, we can go to Fulai Village together next time."
"Then ask your brother to return the favor and show the medicine to Doctor Zhang first, okay? Aunt Fu, show the medicine to Doctor Zhang first to see if Xiaobei can use it?"
"Good old lady."
"This basket has dried meat. Dried meat is the best! I don't know what this black thing is. Let me try it. It's sour and sweet. Is it hawthorn?"
"Here's another bag of malt sugar? How come this candy has colors? Let me try this white cube, it's sweet and chewy."
"I know this. This is osmanthus cake and hazelnut cake."
"Grandma, sister, Xiaobei, would you all like to eat some? Try it. Sister Han said these things can't be kept for too long."
"Okay, then try it, Grandma. Let me try the hawthorn cake. Hmm, it's not bad. I didn't expect the osmanthus cake they make to taste so good."
"This malt candy is delicious, and the hazelnut cake tastes pretty good." Huo Xi waited until her grandmother had eaten before she started eating.
Huo Bei watched them eat, swallowed his saliva, and there was desire in his eyes.
"Xiaobei, my dear grandson, you can eat less. Try the taste first and eat more if you are able to eat it. Here, this hawthorn is an appetite whetter. Maybe eating some will improve your appetite."
Huo Bei picked up a small piece of hawthorn cake and ate it in small bites. He didn't feel nauseous after finishing one piece. Seeing his second brother eating the dried meat with relish, he took a piece of dried meat and ate it. Wow, the dried meat was so fragrant. Although it was hard, it was very fragrant. He finished one piece of dried meat unknowingly and stretched out his little hand to take another one.
He looked up and saw three people looking at him. He didn't know whether to take it or not.
"Xiaobei, do you feel uncomfortable after eating these?" Huo Xi asked.
"Sister, I'm not feeling unwell. I still want to eat."
"Okay, my dear grandson, then you can just eat another piece of jerky. If you like these delicious foods, I'll leave them for you. Eat a little at a time, don't eat too much at once."
"Okay, grandma." Huo Bei picked up a larger piece of dried meat and chewed it like a little squirrel, with a serious expression on his face while eating.
Jiang's eyes were slightly red.
The person he loves the most in the mansion, besides his eldest grandson, is this little grandson.
Her eldest grandson went to the battlefield at such a young age, which made her worry all the time. And her little grandson died not long after her daughter gave birth to him. He did not enjoy the love of his father and mother, and his body was weak. He could not even eat and drink as freely as other children.
She felt sad every time she saw him eating during the past two days. His appetite was like a kitten's, and he couldn't eat even a little bit. His thin and pale little face made people feel distressed no matter how they looked at it!
Now that he was willing to eat, that was a good thing. The food made by the Liu family was to his liking.
She really needs to thank the Liu family.
A few days ago, my eldest grandson came to visit unexpectedly. Not only did he give her some fine white salt, he also performed the magic of turning water into ice for her on the spot.
Really big ice cubes!
The Jiang family was in the shipping business. Ice could keep food fresh, so having ice was very important to them.
The eldest grandson said that the ice cubes were jointly developed by the Liu and Liu families and must not be known to outsiders. The Jiang family can secretly make ice for their own use.
This time he went to the capital, apart from his parents' affairs, he also discussed the Liu family's affairs.
When Jiang learned that there was no one to take care of the children at the Huo Mansion, she took the initiative to stay there for a while.
If possible, it would be okay to meet the Liu family privately.
When he arrived at the Huo Mansion, he learned from his little granddaughter that his second grandson had gone to visit the Liu family.
Now the second grandson has come back and brought back so many delicious foods, and also brought back a bottle of medicine for the youngest grandson.
The Liu family wanted to make friends, and since there were no female members in the Huo family, it was natural for her, the grandmother, to go on the trip on behalf of her eldest grandson.
For dinner, Nanny Fu specifically asked the kitchen to cook more vegetables. These vegetables were brought from the Liu family, including bok choy, potatoes, pumpkin and zucchini. Huo Bei liked them and ate a lot of them.
Nanny Fu and Madam Jiang were extremely pleased to see that he ate more tonight.
