"Have you seen anyone? How is your recovery?"
Song Chen nodded: "He can stand on his own and walk a few steps. With more training, he will probably be able to walk again."
"Has he really been paralyzed for several years? Are the traditional Chinese medicine practitioners in Shanghai really that skilled?"
It seems that everyone now advocates Western medicine, thinking that everything Western is good, and that the influence of traditional Chinese medicine is not that great.
"Well, I was paralyzed for many years. I got better after a month of acupuncture."
As Lin Lu listened, her pupils gradually brightened and became colorful, and Song Chen couldn't help but feel happy for her.
"Then I'd like to try it, but I'm afraid of the pain."
Song Chen joked, "Just grit your teeth and swallow it."
After getting a roll of the eyes from Lin Lu, he continued, "I'll be right next to you when the time comes. If it hurts, just pinch my hand."
Li Xianglian, exhausted from work, went into the house to drink a sip of water and asked, "What's wrong? Why did I pinch your hand?"
Lin Lu smiled and said, "Mom, Song Chen asked a very good old Chinese doctor. I heard that people who have been paralyzed for many years can recover after a month of acupuncture."
Li Xianglian felt like she was struck by a five million dollar bill while walking around. Uh, she asked three questions at once:
"Is it really that effective?"
"Where is he?"
"Shall we go look for it now?"
Song Chen poured her some water, and Lin Lu explained, "Song Chen saw it with his own eyes. The old Chinese doctor is in Shanghai. We'll go there when Lin Jingbei is on vacation."
Li Xianglian was impatient. "What are we waiting for? Let's go quickly. The sooner we go, the better. If we go too late, we won't be able to get a place in line. What will we do?"
Song Chen: "If you don't go, you and Dad can take care of the family, and let Lin Jingbei go with you."
Although Lin Jingbei is only eleven years old, he is 1.75 meters tall and you can't tell that he is a junior high school student who skipped a grade.
There are enough people to take him there.
"Let Lin Jingbei take a leave, and you can go tomorrow." When it comes to her own daughter's health, even Li Xianglian's beloved grandson is not as important.
Not to mention something as trivial as reading.
Song Chen held his forehead and explained jokingly, "He'll finish his exams in just two weeks. It's okay to wait. Uncle Lan said that the Chinese doctor has been there for decades. As long as nothing goes wrong, he probably won't move."
Li Xianglian was still worried. As long as Lin Lu's leg didn't heal, she wouldn't be able to sleep well. But as an old woman who knew nothing, she could only listen to the children.
"Okay, just make a plan and don't delay it."
"No, he cares more about it than I do." Lin Lu said.
Li Xianglian: "You little bitch, you're so lucky."
…
Time flies.
Two weeks passed in a flash.
The day after the exam happened to be Lin Jingbei’s birthday.
In the past, people would just kill a chicken and cook him a bowl of noodles on this day.
The economy in the town is not that developed yet, and there is not even a regular cake shop.
Lin Lu and Li Xianglian had agreed early in the morning that Lin Lu would make him a cake herself.
The ingredients needed for the cake were hard to buy, so Song Chen rode his motorcycle and took her around the streets for two hours before they bought them all.
As for birthday gifts, the two of them went shopping for a while at the market last Sunday. Lin Lu prepared two for him, the first was a pair of sneakers, and the other was a set of four famous classics.
The last time the mother and son went to the bookstore together, she noticed that the child actually liked to read extracurricular books.
Lin Lu told him yesterday that it would be his birthday today, and asked him to invite a few close friends to come to his house to celebrate and eat cake.
I don’t know if he took it to heart.
Lin Lu bought a lot of ingredients and tried to make it as big as possible so that everyone can taste it together.
I don’t have an oven at home, so I steamed the inner layer in a large iron pan, and it tasted pretty good.
It contains eggs and sugar, and it tastes delicious even without the cream on the outside.
Lin Lu dug out a piece and gave it to Song Chen and Li Xianglian to try. "Is it ripe? Is it sweet enough?"
"It's OK. It tastes good." After swallowing it, Song Chen gave a thumbs up in praise. He and his mother-in-law watched Lin Lu's actions for a long time.
The two of them helped her complete the parts that were inconvenient for her to do.
The second step is to spread the cream and fruits.
Lin Lu is quite skilled and scraped a layer of cream on the egg cake first.
I changed to yellow cream and drew a little tiger on it, used red cream to draw a few small flowers, wrote the words "Happy Birthday", and spread strawberries and mangoes on the part without words.
After completion, Song Chen and Li Xianglian were even more full of praise.
Song Chen: "It's really beautiful. I'll get one for my birthday too."
Li Xianglian promised: "Sure, I will definitely ask Lulu to make one for you on your birthday."
Lin Lu: "Okay, but are you going to kill the chicken now?"
You couldn't buy that special base for the cake, so it had to sit on a large porcelain plate. "Mom, be careful and take the cake to the table over there in the well room."
The meal can start to be prepared.
——
Lin Jingbei has always been a cool guy, the kind who likes to keep to himself.
Although his image has changed a lot recently due to the influence of his deskmate, he is still that cool guy at heart.
A cool guy who is too embarrassed to even invite others to his birthday party.
After the exam, Shi Lei asked her to play ball together, but someone had already taken a seat.
Lin Jingbei followed him in a daze.
If he didn't invite anyone, he was worried that his mother Lin Lu would laugh at him for having no friends.
He has friends, but he is too embarrassed to speak up.
After playing two games and disbanding, he stealthily called out to Shi Lei, Wang Youwei, and Xia Ye who were walking behind him.
Shi Lei: "What's wrong, Brother Bei? Aren't you happy about winning?"
Lin Jingbei: "Are you free tonight?"
Xia Ye: "I've finished the exam, there must be one, what's wrong?"
Lin Jingbei: "If you have nothing to do, come to my house and help me celebrate my birthday."
Shi Lei was very excited: "Brother Bei, today is your birthday. Why didn't you tell me earlier? Happy birthday."
Wang Youwei: "Happy birthday, but I didn't bring any gifts."
"How do you celebrate your birthday? Is there anything else you need to do on your birthday?"
Xia Ye was the most pitiful child among them. His family never celebrated his birthday and just treated it as an ordinary day.
Lin Jingbei: "My mom insisted on making me a birthday cake, please come and have it."
"Birthday cake? Teacher Lin can also make birthday cakes? That's amazing." Shi Lei's family is relatively well-off, and his aunt even married in Kyoto. Shi Lei had eaten birthday cake when she celebrated her birthday in Kyoto.
He was very impressed by it, especially the sweet cream on top. It was very delicious.
Lin Jingbei: "Well, come over after you put your schoolbags at home. You don't need to buy gifts."
"Okay." Everyone was extremely excited. It was the first time they were invited to a birthday party, and they were a little nervous.
