Chapter 12 Surprise or not?



Looking at the prescription Li Xiyue gave her, the system said, "You added two extra ingredients to this prescription."

Li Xiyue said, "Yes. These two herbs will enhance the efficacy of the medicine. I wasn't a military doctor in my past life for nothing."

Having been reborn into this life, she hasn't lost any of her skills. She doesn't need to go to medical school; she's a qualified doctor!

The system prepared the medicine according to Li Xiyue's prescription and quickly finished the preparation.

Li Xiyue doesn't care whether Li Yin lives or dies; Li Yin is probably already feeling like she's living a life worse than death!

She rode her bicycle home, and when she passed a steamed bun shop, she took the meat coupons and grain coupons from her spatial storage and bought a pound of meat buns.

In 1978, although the variety of goods was slightly more abundant than in previous years, ordinary people still had very little money and were reluctant to eat meat.

Eating a meat bun occasionally is considered a treat.

In those days, steamed bun shops were all state-owned. Waiters wearing white coats and white hats would wrap the meat buns on yellow straw paper and skillfully tie them with yellow straw rope.

Li Xiyue couldn't help but admire the skill of waiters in packing things in this era.

In this era before plastic bags, whatever you bought could be tied tightly with yellow straw paper and straw rope, even beer bottles could be tied with rope to make it easier for people buying beer to carry.

When Li Xiyue rode her bicycle back to the courtyard, the aroma of meat buns immediately attracted the children in the courtyard.

The oil from the meat buns had long since soaked through the toilet paper. In this era of oil and meat scarcity, just looking at the greasy toilet paper was enough to make one's mouth water!

Li Xiyue greeted the aunties and grandmas in the courtyard. She generously took out steamed buns and handed them to the children living in the courtyard, especially the children of Grandma Zhang's family, whom she gave several extra.

She and her mother couldn't possibly finish a pound of meat buns, so she deliberately bought more than she could eat, just to repay the aunties and grandmas in the courtyard who took care of her mother.

She's back in this life to avenge her wrongs and repay her debts of gratitude!

Even though it's just a few meat buns, Aunt Zhang felt embarrassed. These things are precious and not something you can afford to eat every day.

She quickly brought a small bowl of freshly cooked sweet potato and corn porridge to Li Xiyue's family.

After thanking Aunt Zhang, Li Xiyue took the meat buns to her mother and said softly, "Mom, are you hungry? Here are some meat buns. You haven't had meat in a long time, have you? I'll feed you!"

It seemed that she hadn't eaten meat in a long time. Cheng Xiaohui, who had been looking dazed, slowly looked at the meat bun in Li Xiyue's hand.

As Li Xiyue fed her the meat bun to her lips, she opened her mouth and took a bite.

Li Xiyue almost burst into tears. Although her mother still didn't recognize her, at least she could interact with her.

However, Cheng Xiaohui ate very little; she only ate one meat bun and drank a few sips of porridge before stopping.

The system said in the space, "Your mother is eating too little. She must have been starving for ages to eat this little bit. When will she recover from eating so little?"

Li Xiyue said, "All sedatives can damage the stomach and impair cognitive function. Mom's appetite must have been damaged by the medication long ago. We can only try to regulate it little by little. I'll brew the medicine and feed it to her in a bit."

She was confident in the effectiveness of the medicine she had prepared, but her mother's condition was too serious, and she had no idea when her mother would regain consciousness.

She ate a few bites casually, took out a clay pot from her spatial supplies, and sat in the yard to brew medicine for her mother.

In 1978, the courtyards in the capital city still did not have gas; every household used coal briquette stoves or honeycomb briquette stoves.

On a sweltering day, she stayed by the stove, watching the medicine in the clay pot.

The aunties and grandmas in the courtyard kept praising Cheng Xiaohui for being so lucky to have such a relative who was willing to take care of her.

Li Xiyue's heart was bleeding. If she hadn't been so stupid in her past life, how could her mother have suffered so much, even being killed by Li Yin and Jin Cuicui!

In this era where lighting relies almost entirely on the sun, it gets dark as soon as the sun sets, and streetlights are practically useless. You have to carry a flashlight when you go out, otherwise it's so dark you can't see your hand in front of your face and you can't see the road at all.

Li Xiyue fed her mother the medicine she had prepared, spoonful by spoonful. The medicine didn't taste good, and Cheng Xiaohui was reluctant to drink it, so she had to take out candy from her space to coax Cheng Xiaohui to drink it.

It took more than an hour of coaxing to get them to drink the medicine.

She boiled water, took down the large aluminum basin hanging on the wall, and gave her mother a bath and washed her hair.

It seemed that Cheng Xiaohui had never felt so comfortable before; she went to sleep right after taking a shower.

The room was small, and the bed was small too. Li Xiyue was worried when she looked at the narrow bed. In such hot weather, her mother would definitely not be comfortable sleeping with her.

The system said from within the space, "You can come and sleep in this space. This space is yours, and you can come back anytime!"

Li Xiyue never expected that not only could money and belongings be stored in her spatial dimension, but she herself could also return to it.

She hurriedly entered the space; it was her first time entering a space, and everything in it was new and exciting to her.

This place is very large and looks very high-tech and modern.

She took a refrigerator out of her spatial storage and put it in her mother's room so that her mother wouldn't feel hot while sleeping.

The temperature inside the space was constant, and Li Xiyue slept comfortably inside.

She hadn't slept for two days and was so tired that she fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.

The next morning, Li Xiyue was woken up by the system.

"Wake up! Your mom looks like she's waking up!"

Li Xiyue jumped out of bed with a start and hurriedly returned to her room from the spatial dimension.

Sure enough, Cheng Xiaohui rolled over a few times and slowly opened her eyes.

Li Xiyue reached out and took her mother's hand, saying, "Mom, I know you don't recognize me yet. But you will when you're better!"

I'll go brew your medicine. After you finish eating, you must take your medicine obediently, just like yesterday!

Cheng Xiaohui's previously blank gaze slowly focused on Li Xiyue's face after hearing Li Xiyue's voice.

She looked at Li Xiyue very carefully, as if trying to etch her into her eyes.

Li Xiyue was surprised to see emotions in Cheng Xiaohui's eyes!

She opened her eyes wide in surprise and said, "Mom...you're awake! You're awake, aren't you?! How could this be? I just took some medicine..."

The system said in the space, "This is medicine from the space supplies! Medicine from the space supplies is dozens of times more effective than medicine from outside."

Unexpected, right? Surprised? Unexpected, right? I told you long ago, I'm the most powerful system from the Milky Way galaxy to parallel universes! Don't idolize me, I'm just a legend!

Countless black lines appeared on Li Xiyue's forehead. Her boss's mouth was wagging again!

Cheng Xiaohui's lips trembled slightly, "The child..."
