Chapter 391 Lotus Seed and Yam Soup

I made a lotus seed, yam and sea cucumber soup in the evening.

The hospital in Qing City prescribed Liu Lai Fu a week's worth of medicine.

After getting the injection on the island, Liu Lai Fu told Liu Yin Yin that he wanted to go back to his hometown.

"You and your son-in-law both have to go to work, and it's too boring for me to be alone at home. I can help take care of the kids when I go back."

Liu Lai Fu is a person who cannot sit idle and does not want to stay idle at home.

At Liu Yinyin's home, both husband and wife have to go to work, and Gu Yanyan has to go to daycare.

He can't be of any help here.

It would be better for him to go back to his hometown earlier. There are a lot of things to do at home and he can help.

Liu Yinyin pondered and said, "Dad, why don't we leave in a few days? Then I'll switch shifts with someone else and take you back."

Liu Laifu didn't want to cause any more trouble for the couple: "No need for you, I've already talked to your eldest brother, he happens to be free tomorrow, he can take me to the train station."

Once he got on the train, he could go home by himself without delaying his children's work.

Liu Lai Fu was determined to leave, and Liu Yinyin couldn't stop him at all.

There was no choice but to pack his things first.

When Liu Lai Fu came, he didn't bring much with him, just a small luggage bag with two sets of clothes in it.

Liu Yinyin also gave him two sets of new pajamas.

There were also some food, a bag of dried pineapples, a bag of lotus seeds, a bag of lotus root starch, and a bag of milk powder.

Except for the dried pineapple, the rest are stomach-nourishing foods for Liu Lai-fu.

I’m afraid that Liu Lai Fu will be too tired and have nothing else. I’ll send some food back when I have time.

If Liu Lai Fu really wants to leave, I'll make some food tomorrow morning for him to take on the train.

During dinner in the evening, Liu Lai Fu also mentioned to Gu Cheng that he was leaving.

Gu Cheng said, "Dad, you have just finished taking your medicine. I will take you to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow. If everything is ok, you can go back."

Liu Laifu said hurriedly: "I am completely well now. I can sleep for five or six hours at night. When I get back, I will go to Dr. Zhang for acupuncture..."

Liu Yinyin interrupted, "Dad, is Doctor Zhang really that good?"

Liu Laifu snorted when he heard this: "Of course, the traditional Chinese medicine passed down by our ancestors is still effective. I feel different when I take the medicine prescribed by Doctor Zhang. It is much more effective than being hospitalized and getting injections."

His sleeping problems also improved after Dr. Zhang gave him acupuncture treatment.

Liu Lai Fu now likes to go to Dr. Zhang and doesn't like going to big hospitals for treatment.

Liu Yinyin said, "Dad, medicine is poisonous, so don't rely too much on Chinese medicine."

No matter how good Chinese medicine is, it should not be overused.

Liu Laifu said seriously, "I know. Doctor Zhang has already said that he will reduce the dosage for me in the future."

Liu Yinyin: “…”

Okay, Zhang Jiangnan is a doctor, he must know his limits when it comes to certain things.

However, the necessary examinations still need to be done, and I still have to go to Qing City Hospital for a check-up tomorrow.

The next morning, the couple was busy in the kitchen.

Gu Cheng is making breakfast.

Liu Yinyin was busy making food for Liu Laifu on the train.

A box of fried yam and black fungus, a box of cabbage stewed with tofu.

There are also a few white flour buns.

Liu Laifu's illness had just recovered, and Liu Yinyin didn't dare to give him any random food.

There is a lot of seafood on the island, many of which Liu Lai Fu cannot eat.

Just like when he came, Gu Cheng took a day off to take Liu Lai Fu for a check-up.

Before leaving, Liu Yinyin stuffed a handful of money and tickets into Liu Laifu's hands.

"Dad, if you have finished your lunch box, buy some on the train. Don't be stingy. You can't go hungry now."

Before Liu Laifu could say no, Liu Yinyin continued, "It's not much, just a few dollars."

She stuffed five dollars and a few grain coupons into Liu Lai Fu's pocket, knowing that if she gave him too much, Liu Lai Fu would not accept it.

Liu Yinyin gave Liu Laifu the money and tickets in front of Gu Cheng.

Seeing Gu Cheng's indifferent look, Liu Lai Fu didn't say no.

"Yinyin..." After finishing her work, Auntie Wang came over to chat with Liu Yinyin, "Is your father back home?"

On her way to work in the morning, she saw Gu Cheng taking Liu Lai Fu to the pier to take a boat.

Liu Yinyin was busy sorting the fabrics and said without raising her head, "Yes, he couldn't stay on the island and wanted to go back home."

Aunt Wang opened her mouth...but swallowed the words back.

In the countryside, families with better conditions are bound to have relatives coming to ask for money.

However, the people in Liu Yinyin's family are not here just to take advantage of the situation.

I heard that she came to Qingshi to see a doctor. Liu Yinyin was capable, so she should help her parents.

Auntie Wang changed her tone and said, "By the way, there will be another big fair on the island tomorrow."

The sea ban period is coming soon, and tomorrow is the last big market on the island.

But Liu Yinyin said, "Auntie, I won't go to the big market tomorrow."

She was pregnant, so let alone selling things, the market was crowded with people coming and going, and it was inconvenient for Liu Yinyin to catch up.

What’s more, tomorrow is the last big market before the sea ban, so there will definitely be more people rushing there.

Aunt Wang knew that it would be difficult for her to hurry up while she was pregnant: "Tomorrow I will take two ducks to the market to exchange for things. Do you want to buy one?"

Liu Yinyin's eyes lit up when she heard that: "Yes, auntie, give me both. I'll exchange them with white flour."

Auntie Wang was slightly surprised: "You want both?"

Liu Yinyin is not good at raising ducks, so she used to buy them one by one.

Liu Yinyin nodded: "I've been craving meat lately. I'm so hungry. Let's buy an extra duck so that I can eat it when I want."

She also wondered why her appetite had been getting bigger and bigger recently, and she especially wanted to eat meat.

If the hens at home hadn't been kept for laying eggs, Liu Yinyin would have wanted to kill the chickens for meat.

Aunt Wang sighed and said, "That's how pregnant women are. If they can't eat what they want, they'll feel itchy inside."

"Don't worry, I'll see if there's any meat for sale at the market tomorrow. If there is, I'll buy some for you."

Liu Yinyin smiled and said, "Thank you, auntie."

In addition to Aunt Wang, Second Sister Liu also came to Liu Yinyin's house in the evening to talk about tomorrow's big market.

Just like before, Liu Ersao will go to the market tomorrow and also prepare some food to sell.

Liu Yinyin decided not to go tomorrow. There are so many people coming and going in the market. If she gets bumped into something, the consequences would be disastrous.

Liu Yinyin: "Second sister-in-law, if there is anything to eat at the market, please buy some for me."

The sea ban period is approaching, so we have to have some food at home.

Having been with her sister-in-law for so long, Liu Ersao knows her preferences.

"Okay, I'll buy it tomorrow."

At around seven o'clock, Gu Cheng suddenly came back...

"Why are you back so late?"

Liu Yinyin thought he would not come back today.

Gu Cheng was holding a big bag in his hand. "Dad is fine now. I sent him to the train and then went to Big Swallow Island."
