As for Old Man Ma, after returning home, he heated up some steamed buns, then made a bowl of thick malted milk for his bedridden wife, helped her up, and coaxed her to drink it.
However, after finding out where the items came from, Old Mrs. Ma was unwilling to enjoy them alone and insisted on taking him along.
So the elderly couple had no choice but to each take a bun and eat it, while taking turns drinking the bowl of extremely sweet malted milk powder.
As they drank, tears welled up in both of their eyes.
"Cuifen, this winter is really cold, but you must hold on. If you can't hold on, then I... I really have no meaning in living."
"Cough cough, old man, cough, please don't say such things. Society is getting better and better these days, you should be looking after things for me, cough cough cough..."
The person on the bed coughed violently, as if she were coughing up her lungs, which startled Old Man Ma so much that he quickly put down the bowl in his hand and kept patting her back to help her catch her breath.
"Alright, alright, don't get agitated. I won't say anything more, okay? I'll go to Dr. Jiang's tomorrow to get you some medicine. I think it worked pretty well last time."
The person on the bed initially wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, slowly nodded.
Actually, she had just finished drinking malted milk powder and eating steamed buns, and felt much better, but she was afraid that this was just a temporary respite before death, so she didn't dare to say it.
She had always heard that society was getting better and better, and she actually wanted to see it for herself, but if she really couldn't see it, she would just have to accept her fate.
Old Ma was happy to hear that his wife was willing to take the medicine; at least her willingness to be treated was a good thing.
At that moment, he had no idea that his good deed had directly saved his wife's life.

The next day, Zhu Qinghao and Si Tian made another appointment to go out and stock up on goods in the city.
The weather is getting colder and colder lately, and it may not be long before heavy snow falls. Then it won't be so easy to go out and buy things.
Si Tian is actually quite alright. Her personal space is a large shopping mall with all kinds of food and drinks, so she has everything she needs. However, she loves being around people, and staying home alone for too long would drive her crazy.
So when she heard Zhu Qinghao suggest going to the city, she agreed without thinking. At least if she went to the city, she could meet more people and have a nice meal with Zhu Qinghao.
After all, if she were at home, she couldn't bring things to Zhu Qinghao every day; most of the time she would have to eat alone.
On the way to ride the tractor, Si Tian kept chattering away. Zhu Qinghao felt that even though there were only two of them, it was very lively with her.
"Okay, okay, I don't know what to buy. What are you planning to buy? Is there anything you particularly want to buy? Tell me, maybe I'll run into it and buy it for you?"
Si Tian asked cautiously, her tone revealing a guilty conscience she herself was unaware of, and she kept blinking.
Zhu Qinghao immediately saw through her thoughts, guessing that this little girl wanted to feed her. After thinking for a moment, she gave a very sincere answer:
"Meat!"
"Wow~ Okay, okay, I want to buy meat too! I love eating meat so much! When I go to town later, if I see a butcher, I'll definitely buy some for you too!"
"Sure, thank you, Sweetie. If there's extra, I wouldn't mind if it's 5 or 10 pounds. If not, then forget it."
