Even though he knew that Zheng Xiaojuan was seriously ill, Shen Zhihuan's heart still tightened when he saw the haggard figure in the courtyard.
People have become like this...
Can a hundred-year-old wild ginseng really work? Shen Zhihuan expressed his doubts.
Hearing the door opening, the little old lady who was leaning on a recliner basking in the sun raised her slightly cloudy eyes, and her wrinkled cheeks looked unusually pale in the sunlight.
"You are..." the little old lady spoke weakly.
"Grandma Zheng, my name is Shen Zhihuan, and I'm the granddaughter of the old man Shen mentioned above. I heard that you were sick, so I came to see you specially." Shen Zhihuan smiled and put the things in her hand on the stone table next to the old lady.
"You are Yuzhen's granddaughter..." The old lady looked Shen Zhihuan up and down, and a bright light suddenly flashed in her slightly turbid eyes.
“Like…like…like…”
The little old lady held out her hand weakly.
Shen Zhihuan walked up obediently and held the old lady's hand, which was as dry as tree bark.
"You look like her, but you're not like her." The little old lady's eyes were red.
There is always sadness and forbearance in Yuzhen's eyes.
She is like a jasmine, which can only live in the hot summer. Once it encounters frost, it will wither and fall leaves...
But the little girl in front of him exudes vigorous vitality.
It's like a ray of warm sunshine in winter.
The little old lady wiped her tears and motioned Shen Zhihuan to sit down.
Shen Zhihuan sat down obediently next to the little old lady.
"Is it four months?" Seeing Shen Zhihuan's bulging belly, the little old lady curled her lips weakly.
"Five months." Shen Zhihuan followed the old lady's gaze and smiled with the corners of his lips curved.
"Su Ziyu is a good person. You are luckier than your grandmother." The old lady gently stroked Shen Zhihuan's bulging belly with her hand as soft as dry tree bark.
"It's good for Grandma Zheng's life to find Grandpa Gong." Shen Zhihuan said sweetly.
When the old lady heard what Shen Zhihuan said, the corners of her lips rose a little more.
"Your Grandpa Gong's family is a family of scholars, and my family is just an ordinary farmer. I am marrying up to my status if I can marry your Grandpa Gong."
When talking about her husband who has been with her through thick and thin, an indescribable joy appeared on the pale face of the little old lady.
"It takes a thousand years to be able to ride the same boat together, and ten thousand years to be able to sleep on the same pillow together. The fact that you and Grandpa Gong can be husband and wife for life is the fate that you two have cultivated together. It's not about being too high or too low." Shen Zhihuan chuckled.
Shen Zhihuan's words were not entirely meant to coax the little old lady.
She truly believes in fate.
"You're quite sweet-talking." The little old lady smiled so much that wrinkles appeared on her face.
"No wonder everyone says that Old Man Shen dotes on his little granddaughter the most. Now I know why."
She had also met Old Man Shen’s other two granddaughters.
Although he is also very good-looking, when compared with this little girl, there is no comparison in terms of temperament, cultivation, and appearance.
No wonder Old Man Shen and Old Man Chu dote on her so much.
"This is all nonsense told by outsiders. Grandma Zheng, you believe it." Shen Zhihuan smiled and took out a bag of fresh longan from the bag, peeled one and fed it to the little old lady.
"Are there still longans at this time of year?" The little old lady savored the flavor carefully.
Crisp and sweet.
One bite and the juice with a strong honey aroma will fill your mouth.
In her entire life, she had never tasted such delicious longan.
"My friend brought it to me from another place. There is a bag of dry food in it. If you don't like eating dry food, you can also use it to soak in water." Shen Zhihuan curved the corners of his lips.
"Longan nourishes the heart and spleen, replenishes qi and blood, and calms the mind. Eating some in moderation is beneficial."
"With my current health condition, eating longan, even dragon meat, can't make up for it." The little old lady gave a bitter smile.
Old Gong always told her to take care of it, saying that it would get better after some care.
But how could she not know the condition of her own body?
Her body is as frayed as cotton wool and would fall apart if the wind was just a little bit stronger.
"Grandma Zheng, the doctor said that your body was severely depleted when you were young. As long as you take good care of yourself for a few months, you will be back to health." Shen Zhihuan peeled another longan and fed it to the old lady.
"Since you know what the doctor said, you must also know what the doctor said to use as the medicine guide." The little old lady shook her head helplessly.
They searched for two months but didn't see even the shadow of a hundred-year-old wild ginseng, let alone fresh one.
Even the old doctor said that a hundred-year-old wild ginseng is hard to come by.
And the price of wild ginseng...
It could be several thousand.
With his family background...
The little old lady's lips curled up into a bitter arc.
"Grandma Zheng, will fresh hundred-year-old wild ginseng be enough?" Shen Zhihuan still wanted to confirm it.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
People outside just follow the crowd and cannot be trusted.
The safest way is to ask the person involved directly.
"There's only one left, this one..." the little old lady sighed.
She was not afraid of death, she just couldn't bear to leave Old Gong.
I don't want to leave him alone in this small yard.
"Grandma Zheng, I..." I have fresh hundred-year-old wild ginseng.
Before Shen Zhihuan could finish his sentence, a powerful and authoritative voice suddenly appeared at the door of the courtyard, "Why are you coming to my house?"
"Grandpa Gong!" Shen Zhihuan called out sweetly.
"Get out of here! Who is your grandpa? Stop trying to be friendly here." Old man Gong's face turned black.
What did she say when he asked her to teach him how to play chess?
[No! I don’t have time!]
He said he could wait until she was free.
What did she say?
[I'll tell you the truth, I'll never be free in this lifetime.]
He said he could pay her tuition.
What did she say?
She showed her eight white little teeth, [I am not short of money. ]
He said he could give her wine, any good wine.
How did she do it?
She stretched out her index finger and shook it, [I don’t lack good wine either.]
That's so cool...
When he thinks about it now, his teeth itch with hatred.
And that old man Shen and old man Chu...
[My good granddaughter is so smart, she can learn anything quickly. ]
[Of course I'm telling you. Why don't you check whose seed it is? ]
Whenever he thought of the two men's annoying looks, he wanted to draw two little men and beat them with his shoe soles.
Shen Zhihuan apologized with a smile, "Grandpa Gong, anger is bad for your health, please don't be so quick to get angry, I'm here to send you off..."
"Who needs the little stuff you gave me? Do I need it? Hurry up and take your things and get out of here!" Old man Gong gritted his teeth.
If he hadn't been concerned about her belly, he would have had her thrown out.
And let her talk nonsense here.
"Mr. Shen, don't think I can do nothing to you just because you're pregnant. I'm telling you, if you piss me off, I'll still throw you out..."
