A little while later, Lin Cuiying also got up.
She went to the kitchen and saw Lin Tiandong tending the fire. She smiled and said, "Tiandong, you're up so early today?"
"Sis, you're up." Lin Tiandong replied with a smile, "I couldn't sleep, so I got up."
"Okay, you start the fire first, I'll go wake up Father and Mother." Lin Cuiying said, then turned and went to Chen Shi and Lin Changgeng's room.
Chen and Lin Changgeng had also woken up long ago and were lying in bed talking.
Upon hearing Lin Cuiying's voice, the two quickly got dressed and got up.
"Father, Mother, you're up," Lin Cuiying said. "Tiandong has already lit the fire. Go wash up quickly, and we'll set off soon."
“Okay,” Chen and Lin Changgeng replied.
After everyone had washed up, Lin Cuiying said, "Father, Mother, let's go to town for breakfast today. I suddenly miss the taste of that meat bun."
Upon hearing this, Chen hesitated, "Going to town for breakfast? Wouldn't that be too wasteful?"
"Mom, we're just going to town to see a doctor today and grab some breakfast on the way," Lin Cuiying said with a smile. "Besides, those meat buns aren't expensive. We'll just have them this once, it'll be fine."
After hesitating for a moment, Chen nodded and said, "Alright then, let's eat this once."
Lin Tiandong, Lin Yuelan, and Lin Yueju were all extremely excited when they heard that they could eat meat buns.
After eating the meat buns that day, they couldn't help but drool when they recalled the delicious taste.
After everyone finished packing, they locked the door and set off.
Lin Changgeng's body had not fully recovered, so he could not walk too fast. Lin Cuiying and Chen Shi helped him walk slowly.
Then look at Lin Tiandong, he's like a monkey, leading his two nieces straight ahead.
The three of them looked at Lin Tiandong's retreating figure and smiled at each other.
"Tian Dong is almost twenty, but he still doesn't look like an adult," Lin Changgeng said with a smile.
“These years have wasted his life.” Chen sighed and shook her head helplessly. “Everyone in the village who is his age is either already a father or about to become one, but he still doesn’t have a place to settle down.”
Hearing this, Lin Cuiying understood that they were worried about Lin Tiandong's marriage.
Over the years, the family has been poor, and Chen's health has been poor. Lin Changgeng also injured his leg, so Lin Tiandong's marriage has been delayed.
However, Lin Cuiying didn't want them to worry too much.
"Father and Mother, don't worry too much," Lin Cuiying comforted. "Tiandong is an honest, hardworking and capable man. He will definitely find a good wife."
“You’re his sister, so you must think he’s perfect in every way, but…” Chen’s face was full of worry. She knew very well that given their family’s situation, which family would be willing to marry their daughter into the family?
Lin Changgeng also sighed: "It's hard to say what will happen to Tiandong's marriage."
Hearing this, Lin Cuiying couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.
She knew that her family's situation was indeed not good, but she didn't want to see her younger brother continue to be single.
“Father and Mother, don’t be too pessimistic,” Lin Cuiying said. “Our family’s situation is much better now, isn’t it? After we sell the he shou wu in town this time, we’ll have some money in our hands. Then we can find a good wife for Tiandong.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Changgeng and Chen exchanged a glance, both seeing the expectation in each other's eyes.
“You’re right, our family’s situation is indeed much better now,” Lin Changgeng said. “When we come back from town this time, we might actually be able to find a suitable wife for Tiandong.”
Madam Chen nodded: "Yes, let's go back and find the matchmaker to take a good look."
As they talked, the three quickened their pace and caught up with Lin Tiandong, Lin Yuelan, and Lin Yueju.
Seeing them catching up, Lin Tiandong smiled and said, "Sister, Father, Mother, hurry up! If we get to town sooner, we can stroll around a bit more."
The group chatted and laughed all the way, and soon arrived in town.
It was still dark, but the streets of the town were already lined with all sorts of stalls.
There were vendors selling breakfast, trinkets, and vegetables...
It was bustling with people coming and going, very lively.
Lin Yuelan and Lin Yueju looked around curiously, finding everything they saw fascinating.
Lin Tiandong was also extremely excited, pointing at things on the roadside from time to time and talking to Lin Changgeng and Chen Shi.
Lin Cuiying was also very happy to see them like this.
She led everyone to the stall where they had bought steamed buns last time. The stall was already set up, but she wondered if the steamed buns in the steamer were ready.
"Boss, are your steamed buns ready yet?" Lin Cuiying asked.
Hearing Lin Cuiying's voice, the stall owner looked up and said with a smile, "It's you, young lady. It'll be ready soon, just a moment."
"It's alright," Lin Cuiying said with a smile. "Then when it's ready, give me six meat buns."
"Okay!" the stall owner replied.
Lin Yuelan and Lin Yueju were incredibly excited when they heard that they were going to buy steamed buns. Their eyes sparkled as they looked at the steamer, as if a treasure could be conjured up from it.
Lin Cuiying couldn't help but laugh when she saw their expressions.
Then, remembering the purpose of her trip, she asked, "Boss, do you know where the clinic in town is?"
"A clinic?" The stall owner looked at her suspiciously. "Young lady, are you feeling unwell?"
“It’s not me, it’s my mother,” Lin Cuiying said, pointing to Chen Shi. “She’s not feeling well, and I’d like to take her to the clinic.”
Upon hearing this, the stall owner sized up Chen and then said, "There are a few clinics in town, but the best one is Huichuntang."
"Huichuntang?" Lin Cuiying remembered the name.
"Yes, Huichuntang." The stall owner nodded. "The doctor at that clinic has superb medical skills, and many people go there because of his reputation."
"Boss, do you know how to get to Huichuntang?" Lin Cuiying asked again.
The stall owner pointed ahead: "Just keep walking along this road, turn right at the intersection ahead, walk a little further, and you'll see it."
"Thank you, boss," Lin Cuiying said.
"You're welcome." The stall owner smiled. "Then the buns are ready, I'll pack them up for you."
Lin Cuiying took the steamed buns and distributed them to everyone. Then she led her parents and the others toward Huichuntang.
The group followed the road pointed out by the stall owner and soon saw the Huichuntang sign.
There was a long queue outside Huichuntang, with many people waiting to see a doctor.
At this moment, a waiter came out of the clinic. He looked at Lin Cuiying and the others, and a hint of contempt flashed in his eyes as he saw their simple clothes.
"What do you guys do?" the waiter asked.
"We've come to see a doctor," Lin Cuiying said.
"See a doctor?" The clerk glanced at them. "Then you can line up first."
Lin Cuiying was somewhat displeased.
