Having prepared everything for the winter in advance, Lin Ying continued her studies at home.
However, since she was researching poisons, she couldn't let the children come into contact with them, so she always did it during the children's lunch break. To prevent the smell or the poison from getting on her body, Lin Ying had to wear protective gear before she could make the products.
Even so, she would take a shower before going out to prevent any unpleasant smells from affecting the child.
Before winter arrived, Lin Ying never expected that Anba would come looking for her again.
Unlike last time when Lin Ying couldn't even let him into her house, this time, Anba finally got into Lin Ying's house.
"Is this your home now?"
Lin Ying nodded: "Yes, I'll be living here from now on. You can come find me anytime if you need anything. It's very convenient!"
Anba smiled: "It's more convenient than before. You are a benefactor to our family. My mother has wanted to meet you for a long time. I'll tell my mother when I get back."
As expected, this time when Anba came, he brought another mink coat and two sacks of meat.
Lin Ying didn't know what Anba was missing, so she just asked him.
Anba then said, somewhat embarrassed, that he wanted the medicine Lin Ying had given him last time.
“I used that pill when my wife was giving birth. If it weren’t for that pill, my wife and son would both be gone. My mother is sick, and if possible, I would like to ask you for one of those pills to treat my mother.”
Lin Ying thought for a moment and said, "I can give you another pill, but pills can't cure all diseases. If you trust me, it would be best if you could bring your mother to me sometime. I'll give her a proper diagnosis to see what's wrong with her."
Anba's eyes lit up: "This, is this alright? Won't it be too much trouble for you?"
Lin Ying smiled and shook her head: "It's no trouble at all. Treating the sick and saving lives is what I should do. Besides, you and I are friends. How can I stand idly by when a friend's relative is sick? Besides, didn't you say before that your mother also wanted to see me? I'm free anytime during the day. You can come whenever you want."
Anba rubbed his hands together excitedly and thanked her repeatedly: "Thank you so much, Lin Ying. My mother's illness has been dragging on for some time, and I've been very worried but there's nothing I can do. Now that you've said this, I feel like I have a pillar of support in my heart."
Lin Ying quickly comforted her, "Don't worry too much. Once you bring your mother here, I'll take a good look at her. Maybe it's just some common ailment that's easy to treat."
Anba nodded emphatically, then seemed to remember something and said, "By the way, Lin Ying, my mother's illness sometimes causes her so much pain that she has no strength left, can't eat, and can't sleep well at night. What do you think is the situation?"
Lin Ying frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said, "It's not easy to diagnose the specific illness based on the symptoms you've described. But don't worry, I will examine it from various aspects, such as the pulse, complexion, and daily behavior. I will do my best to find the cause and then treat the symptoms accordingly."
Anba felt more at ease after hearing this, and chatted with Lin Ying about everyday things, such as which family had a new baby or which family's cattle and sheep had grown stronger. Lin Ying listened with great interest, gaining a better understanding of this unfamiliar yet fascinating tribal life.
Before they knew it, it was getting late. Anba realized it was time to go back, so he got up to say goodbye: "Lin Ying, it's getting late. I have to go back to the tribe, otherwise my mother will worry. I'll go back and tell my mother about your promise to treat her. Then I'll bring her to see you."
Lin Ying also got up to see him off: "Okay, be careful on the road. If there is any emergency, you can come and talk to me first."
After seeing Anba off, it was time for Lin Ying to pick up Haoyu from school.
Unexpectedly, when picking up Haoyu this time, Xiaoshuai and Anzi also got into the car: "Hehe, Auntie, we've already told my mom that we're going to your house today."
Lin Ying looked at the two of them with amusement: "Are you really sure about it?"
The two immediately nodded and said, "We definitely won't lie to you, Auntie!"
Lin Ying nodded: "In that case, sit down. There are still two people who haven't arrived yet. Let's wait a bit and go back together."
Xiao Shuai and An Zi sat in the car looking around and said, "Auntie, your car has become so much more luxurious."
Lin Ying laughed heartily: "Right? The upgraded version. Looks pretty good, doesn't it?"
Xiao Shuai immediately said, "It's not just good, it's absolutely fantastic! All my classmates are so envious of Haoyu. They say his mom is amazing."
Lin Ying glanced at Hao Yu, whose eyes darted around nervously.
Lin Ying smiled and stopped looking at him.
School ends at 4 p.m., by which time it's already getting dark, and with children cleaning up, it's naturally even later. We usually get home around 4:30 p.m.
Fortunately, Lin Ying's car had lights, making the road safe enough.
Unlike the other children who were rather shy, Xiao Shuai was the most familiar with Lin Ying and was quite the chatterbox. Seeing Lin Ying turn on the car lights, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:
"Wow, Auntie, your car lights are so bright! It's like daytime up ahead. And the ride is so comfortable, even with all the bumps on the road."
Lin Ying smiled and said, "Because springs are installed under the car."
With Xiao Shuai chattering away, we quickly made our way back to the village.
He drove the car into the shed that Lin Ying had built at home, checked the battery and found that it still had a lot of power, so he didn't charge it.
Haoyu and Xiaoshuai Anzi had already locked the gate and were walking this way.
"Go straight to the kitchen, Haoyu, call your younger siblings out to eat. You guys go wash your hands too. I'll cook another dish." The boy, already seven years old, was infatuated with his father. These two boys naturally have big appetites.
Shuanzi showed a special welcome to Xiaoshuai's arrival. He followed Xiaoshuai around, chattering excitedly about the things in his house.
Lin Ying's bathtub was large, so the four children simply all went in to bathe. The water was kept running, and Lin Ying didn't interfere, letting them wash themselves.
However, it was clearly too crowded for four people to sleep in one bed, and Lin Ying was thinking of turning on the heating in Shuanzi's or Haoyu's room so they could sleep there. But instead, all four children simply came to the living room. They wiped the floor with a cloth, grabbed their blankets, and came over.
It's almost November now, and Northeast China is already cold, so Lin Ying had already turned on the heating. Therefore, the floor wasn't cold at all; it stayed warm for a while after lying down.
Later on, Er Ya and Liu Zi also wanted to go over, but Lin Ying suppressed them with force.
Are you kidding me? They have to go to school tomorrow. It's all over now, why aren't they sleeping?
Soon after, rustling sounds came from outside, followed by laughter and giggles.
Lin Ying sighed helplessly. Sure enough, once you become a parent, the number formula is an essential tool!
"I'll count to three. If anyone dares to speak again, you'll all be sleeping separately!"
