It took Yu Shaoheng's mother, Yuan Ou, three days to recover after visiting the Changhe Brigade. Yu Shaoheng's grandparents also stayed with him for three days without leaving the house, as both elders were very anxious about their daughter-in-law's pregnancy.
On their first day, Lu Yuan secretly gave Yuan Ou some spiritual spring water, and Gao Weishan also went for a checkup. He was diagnosed with low blood sugar, mainly due to malnutrition and weakness caused by morning sickness. Now that they were here, the problem wasn't too serious, and he would recover soon.
Gao Wei didn't prescribe any yams, only saying that it's not advisable to take too much medicine during pregnancy, and that the main focus should be on regulating the body; food supplements are worse than medicinal supplements. They will help prepare meals for pregnant women.
The so-called "pregnancy meal" was simply a bowl of vegetable and minced meat porridge that Wen Moxue cooked in a small stove and earthenware pot. She used ordinary water, but added a few drops of spiritual spring water to it.
Yuan Ou, who had no appetite, smelled the aroma of the porridge and her long-lost appetite returned. She quickly finished the bowl of porridge. She waited for a long time but did not vomit.
Yuan Ou and the elderly couple from the Yu family were overjoyed.
"I didn't expect Dr. Gao to be so skilled. He's much better than those self-proclaimed experts and professors in Kyoto," said Grandma Yu.
Old Master Yu thought so too, but he said aloud, "Every doctor has their own area of expertise."
In just three days, Yuan Ou's complexion visibly improved, and she went from only being able to drink porridge to being able to eat a full bowl of rice. She also stopped experiencing morning sickness, which put the Yu family at ease.
"We should prepare something to thank Dr. Gao and Comrade Lu's family," said Grandma Yu.
Yuan Ou nodded, "Of course, Mom, you can arrange it."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were discussing when Yu Shaoheng arrived. Before he even entered, he started calling out, "Grandpa, Grandma, Mom!"
The elderly couple immediately beamed with joy, "Oh my, my grandson is here!"
"I'm here, I've come to see you all," Yu Shaoheng said with a smile.
"Is Mom feeling any better?" he asked.
Yuan Ou replied with a smile, "Much better, I haven't vomited in the past two days."
Yu Shaoheng exclaimed excitedly, "I knew Dr. Gao's medical skills were amazing! This place is also very good for health. Mom, your complexion looks much rosier."
"Okay, I'll call Dad later, so he won't worry at home."
Yu Shaoheng smiled slyly, "Why make a phone call? I'm too busy to do anything. Let him worry at home for a while."
Grandma Yu gently patted her grandson, "You silly child, are you deliberately trying to upset your dad?"
"No way, I don't have time, I'm busy."
"What can you possibly be busy with?"
"I need to go to the fields to earn work points," Yu Shaoheng said confidently.
When it came to his grandson earning work points in the fields, Grandpa Yu felt ashamed for his grandson. He went to the fields yesterday and saw that even young children could earn two work points after school every day, but his eldest grandson only earned three or four work points even though he spent all day in the fields.
I heard that he earned the least among the educated youth in their settlement. The female educated youth had at least 6 work points. The old man didn't know how his grandson earned those 4 work points.
Yu Shaoheng felt that he was already doing very well. "When I first came here, I didn't have any work points. Later, I even owed work points. Now, being able to earn 4 work points is already quite remarkable."
"Why are you still in arrears on work points?" Grandma Yu asked curiously.
Yu Shaoheng was a little embarrassed and scratched his head, saying, "It's just that I can't quite distinguish between rice seedlings, wheat seedlings, and weeds. When I'm pulling weeds, I always pull out the seedlings and leave the weeds behind."
The others were both amused and exasperated. They felt sorry for him, who had grown up in luxury, now having to work in the fields. But seeing his strong physique and self-sufficiency, they also felt that some hardship was a good thing.
Grandma Yu started her usual praise-her-grandson mode again, saying, "My grandson is amazing, he's progressed so quickly."
Yuan Ou sighed. Her son always felt that even the smallest progress he made was remarkable, and it was because of his mother's praise that he developed this attitude.
"You didn't go to work today, why are you here at this hour?" Yuan Ou asked.
Yu Shaoheng slapped his forehead. "I almost forgot about the important matter. I took the day off today. You all came all this way and I haven't even had a proper chance to spend time with you." He was definitely not making excuses to be lazy.
"When we passed by Yuan Ge's house on the way here, he asked me to check if Mom was feeling better. If she wasn't feeling unwell, he asked me to take you for a walk around the village and then have dinner at his house that night."
“Sure, we were just discussing visiting Comrade Lu’s home to express our sincere gratitude,” said Grandma Yu.
Then, remembering something, she asked, "Aheng, did you not pay for the medicine you got for your dad before?"
"No, I don't have that much money on hand, so I've been in debt."
"You silly child, you didn't even say a word. How much money do you need?"
Yu Shaoheng shook his head, "I don't know. Brother Yuan just told me to give it to him as I see fit. But I heard from Brother Fan that the medicine seems to be made from tiger meat. Anyway, it's very precious and hard to get."
The elderly couple exchanged a glance. If the medicine could cure their son's illness, which even doctors in Kyoto couldn't cure, it must be extremely precious.
"Old man, how much do you think is appropriate?"
Grandpa Yu thought for a moment, then asked, "How much money did you bring this time?"
“I took 2,000 yuan with me when I left, thinking that my daughter-in-law’s health treatment would cost a lot, and our expenses were also considerable. I would leave any extra money to Aheng.”
Yuan Ou chimed in, "I have 1,000 here, it was given to me by Aheng's dad."
Grandpa Yu nodded, "Then I'll give you 2500 first."
"Okay, I understand."
The old lady got up to pack her things, wrapped a stack of 10,000 yuan notes in newspaper, took two packs of Zhonghua cigarettes and two bottles of Moutai liquor, and also prepared two cans of malted milk powder and two cans of milk powder.
The family didn't go to the village to explore; instead, they went directly to Lu Yuan's house.
