Chapter 169 Preparation
"Ning Baogai, should we go take a look?"
I shook my head and refused. It would be better to give them some privacy in this situation. After all, most of them are elders. If they cry so much...
"Let's get on with cooking."
"good."
Luo Shuangshuang placed the vegetables that Ma Xiuzhen had washed earlier on the stove, sat back on the low stool, and started picking vegetables with the vegetable basket.
…
When Yan Changrong and Zhao Panpan walked home with their grandson and saw the boy from the Fu family waiting at the intersection, they knew that Fu Rong and the others had finally arrived.
They are almost like my own two sons. I have raised them for so many years and they are no different from my own children.
Even though the sadness and disappointment in my heart when I first learned that Fu Rong suddenly stood up and stabbed me in the back was greater than my indignation and resentment, I still didn't want to believe it afterwards.
When they learned that he had no choice, the old couple felt more relieved, as they did not let down Fu Xuan and his wife who passed away young and had raised a good child to waste.
When I arrived at the main hall and saw the father and son of the Fu family, one paralyzed and the other disabled, I could imagine how dangerous it was just by looking at them. I couldn't help but burst into tears before I could say anything.
"Why, how did it become like this?!"
"Uncle, aunt, I'm sorry..."
Before her husband could finish his words, Ma Xiuzhen fell to her knees in front of the two men and did what her husband wanted to do but was unable to do at this moment.
Kowtow and plead guilty.
"Xiu Xiu, what are you doing? Hurry, get up!"
"Uncle and aunt, A Rong and Dan Er can't stand up. I apologize to you two on behalf of them and our Fu family. I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
Fu Jiaming, who hadn't said a word yet when he and Yan Qi entered the room, saw this scene. His eyes immediately turned red, and he took a few steps forward and knelt down heavily following his mother.
Zhao Panpan couldn't pull up the man who was kowtowing on the ground. She pounded her chest, but the pain couldn't be relieved. Her tears flowed even more violently.
“That’s enough!”
Yan Changrong, whose eyes also turned red, couldn't help but shout loudly. How could he not know this kid's stubborn temper and thoughts?
I'm afraid he would feel uncomfortable if he didn't beat him half to death!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but raise his hand and point at Fu Rong, "When you get better, I'll punish you according to the family rules! Do you think you can still run away?!"
"well…"
Fu Rong smiled and cried, nodding and choking as he replied, "I won't run, I won't run..."
"Alright, alright, get up!"
Raising her hand to wipe the tears from her face, Zhao Panpan once again grabbed Ma Xiuzhen and Fu Jiaming one by one.
"Jia Dan, how do you feel? Is it okay to sit like this?"
"Grandma, I'm fine, don't worry about me."
"Where's Qianqian? Why didn't she come with us?"
As soon as this question was asked, everyone except Yan Changrong's expression became even uglier, and grief welled up in their eyes.
Ma Xiuzhen covered her face with her hands, her expression distorted in pain, tears streaming down through her fingers.
"Aunt, Qianqian... Qianqian is gone."
“No…no more?”
They suddenly raised their heads and looked at their little grandson in disbelief. When they saw Yan Bei nodded with difficulty, the old couple felt a tightness in their hearts at the same time, and emotions of sadness and grief immediately spread.
That girl who was about the same age as Xixi, so gentle and cute...will I never see her again?
"Damn the Tong family, and Tong Xuesen deserves to be cut into pieces!"
Blood debt must be repaid with blood!
After more than an hour, everyone's mood finally calmed down.
Compared to revenge, the most important thing at the moment is the injuries of Fu Rong and Fu Jiadan.
"Old Liu and I have discussed Ah Rong's injury. If we can pick the red Ganoderma lucidum that Ning Ning mentioned, it will be easier to deal with it after we have the medicine."
"I will go there tomorrow, and when I come back I will invite Doctor Ge back with me."
"I heard from the girl that the red Ganoderma lucidum grows on a cliff. Jiaming, you must be fully prepared before taking action."
"I know, don't worry, Grandpa."
Fu Rong opened his mouth when he heard that, but the brat immediately turned his head away as if he didn't see it. This made him so angry that his hands were itching and he wanted to punch them.
"Don't say anything, old man. I must get it back!"
Fu Rong sighed and looked at his fingers that he couldn't clench, and finally said, "Do it within your ability."
It doesn't matter if he is paralyzed, but I don't want my child to die because of him.
Qianqian has become the greatest pain in his life.
…
On the second day, because he was going to accompany Fu Jiaming and Luo Shuangshuang to Gushi and Luohu, Su Ning went to tell Uncle Su early in the morning.
The key to the clinic was temporarily given to him for safekeeping, and he was told that if there was an emergency, he could quietly seek help from Mr. Liu in the cowshed.
After returning to Gushi, the two went back to Luo's house together, and she went to the brick factory to order bricks and tiles for building the house for Fu Jiaming.
With the approval note issued by Uncle Su and the payment of the deposit, things went smoothly.
I don’t know what the two talked about when they got home. When they met at the bus station again, Luo Shuangshuang’s eyes were still red and swollen, but her face didn’t look sad at all.
Compared to her, Fu Jiaming is completely the opposite. He even walks with a high-spirited attitude, and if the situation allows, he would want to buy a few fireworks to set off.
After a moment of thought, Suning had the answer: it seemed that the two had discussed the marriage and successfully convinced Uncle Luo and Aunt Yan.
"Then let me congratulate you in advance?"
"Hey, let's celebrate together!"
"What a fool!"
Glancing at him with disdain, Luo Shuangshuang stood up and sat next to her, "Ning Baogai, you don't know what this idiot said to my parents!"
Thinking of her family's extremely wonderful expressions at that time, Luo Shuangshuang couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Hey~ Don't I have any dignity? Can you please make a deal and save a little face for me?"
“Hehe~”
"Okay, I'm not interested in his marriage proposal. Have you decided when to get the marriage certificate and hold the wedding?"
Hearing this, both of them showed a sweet and embarrassed expression on their faces.
"We'll do it once the house is built and Shuangshuang graduates from medical school."
That means it’s the winter month or the twelfth month?
He nodded in understanding and felt happy for his two good friends again.
…
During the past few months working in a textile factory in Shonan after moving from Kyoto, the biggest gain she gained was probably curing her motion sickness.
After more than two hours on the bus and more than half an hour on the ox cart, she arrived at the destination, except that her face looked a little ugly, but she no longer felt dizzy and nauseous.
Grandma Yan and Uncle Yan were even more enthusiastic and happy about her arrival than the first time. They were even happier than when they learned that Fu Jiaming was their future son-in-law.
After a thoughtful lunch, Yan Xi also knew the purpose of their return this time.
"Ningning, are you sure you are at Baoshan?"
"Um."
"You, you are such a brave girl!"
Yan Xi nodded at her lightly, and rarely did he frown.
The top of Baoshan Mountain has been covered with white since late autumn. As winter approaches, the hungry creatures inside will jump out. It is much more dangerous to enter the mountain at this time than before.
After thinking about the safer route and having some idea, Yan Xi stood up and said, "I'll ask for leave. We'll go there and come back quickly."
This time they went into the mountains to collect herbs, not hunt, so Yan Xi did not plan to bring his two sons with him, and of course Luo Shuangshuang who was clamoring to go along.
The three of them packed their things from the thatched hut where hunting tools were stored and quickly went into the mountains.
Following behind them, Su Ning touched the black jade on her chest. After hesitating for a long time, she still did not choose to change it into the lucky purple jade.
Although bringing the purple jade would most likely yield very good medicinal herbs, perhaps even the red Ganoderma lucidum needed this time, other good luck could not prevent the scene from giving the two of them a heart attack.
It would be best if she could find another red Ganoderma lucidum on the Baoshan Cliff. If not, she could only look for an opportunity to transplant it.
Yan Xi carried a homemade longbow and quiver, while Fu Jiaming carried a bundle of thick hemp ropes.
As for her, she carried a small backpack with a water bottle and a small hoe in it.
The further you go in, the more difficult the mountain path becomes.
Not only did Suning pick a few medicinal herbs on the way, but Yan Xi also hunted a big gray rabbit and a bamboo partridge that came to his door.
Led by Yan Xi, who had rich hunting experience in the mountains for many years, they avoided many dangerous situations in advance, including a family of four wild boars that came out to look for food.
There was almost no rest stop, and when Suning's physical strength was almost at its limit, they finally reached the foot of Baoshan Mountain.
"Let's rest by the stream first and then go up the mountain later."
Fu Jiaming, who also saw her condition, nodded without hesitation and considerately moved a large, smooth and clean stone to Su Ning so that she could sit down and have a good rest.
