Chapter 109: Life is booming
"Why didn't you come back earlier? Don't you know it's dangerous outside at night? You must be careful next time." Zhang Yuling said naggingly as she helped Yike put down the backpack.
"Mom, we were late because we were digging a few flowers on the cave over there, really. It's safer here, Ziyi and I know what to do." Yike put down the backpack and hugged Zhang Yuling's arm and acted coquettishly, "Mom, don't blame me, I'm so hungry, is there anything I can eat?"
"You! Go take a shower. You're like a dirty monkey if you eat after you take a shower." Zhang Yuling patted Yi Ke and said, "I've put the change of clothes in the bathroom. Go take a shower."
"Thank you, mom. You are so kind!" Yi Ke said with a smile.
"Hmph! You only know how to say nice things. It would be great if you could come back earlier next time and not make mom worry." Zhang Yuling laughed and scolded Yi Ke who ran off to take a shower.
"Hehe! Don't worry, mom. I promise to come back early next time." Yi Ke's voice came from the bathroom.
Zhang Yuling shook her head and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Ziyi called on Du Qingcang and his son to find a place under the cliff to plant the silver grass purple flowers. Wang Cuihua also went with them to help provide light. After the silver grass purple flowers were planted and watered, they waited a few days to see if they could survive.
Today's dinner includes stir-fried fresh black fungus that we picked today, scrambled eggs with mushrooms, and braised rabbit meat. This rabbit is not one that can be raised, but one that Du Qingcang and his son picked up from a trap.
Du Jiankang's illness is now cured, he is just a little weaker than a normal person, but he is much better than before and does not need to take medicine anymore. He just needs to eat better food in his daily life. So when Du Qingcang went to check whether there were any prey in the traps, he took his son Du Jiankang with him. He would never have dared to take him with him before, because his son would have to gasp for breath after taking two steps, so how could he dare to take him into the forest?
Du Jiankang's illness is now cured, he is just a little weaker than a normal person, but he is much better than before and does not need to take medicine anymore. He just needs to eat better food in his daily life.
How do we know when Du Jiankang's health improved? We have to go back a few days. That day, Ziyi and Yike had just returned from the mountain, and godmother Wang Cuihua pulled Yike aside and asked her to help Du Jiankang. So after taking the patient's pulse, Yi Ke said that he didn't need to take medicine anymore, as his body was already well and he just needed to replenish his nutrition.
"Then can I go out to work in the fields? Will I not get sick?" Wang Cuihua asked cautiously, fearing that asking rashly would change the result.
I felt heartbroken for Wang Cuihua for a second. I feel sorry for all the parents in the world. He smiled and said, "You can work in the fields, go hunting with the others, and exercise with us every day. This will make you healthier. But you need to eat more meat every day. You are too thin."
When Du Qingcang and Wang Cuihua heard Yike announce the good news, they burst into tears. Du Jiankang also cried with joy. The whole family cried together, and some even wanted to kowtow to Yike. Yike was so scared that he hurriedly hid behind Ziyi.
"One of you is the godfather, one is the godmother, and one is a brother. Each of you is older and older than Yike. Aren't you shortening her life by bowing to her? If you really want to thank her, won't it be the same if you treat her better in the future?" Li Haoran shook his head in disapproval at them.
"Yes, you can't just kowtow to her. We really need to thank her. When Jiankang gets married in the future, he should ask her to treat Yike like your own sister. If Ziyi's parents come back and treat Yike badly, you must remember to support her." Zhang Yuling also said, and she also thought about the future.
Although she is also Yike's godmother, because of Li Haoran, if Ziyi's parents really dislike Yike, she can't guarantee that Li Haoran will stand on Yike's side, after all, he is his elder brother. So at that time, Du Qingcang's family would need Yike's help.
"Don't worry, no matter who treats Yike badly, we will never let him go. We promise to stand by Yike and support her." Du Qingcang's family expressed their determination to stand firmly on Yike's side and support her.
Yike threw himself into Zhang Yuling's arms, his eyes filled with tears of emotion. It turned out that Zhang Yuling still had such a worry in her heart. If she didn't say it today, she would never know Zhang Yuling's motherly heart. This is truly the care that only a biological mother can have. Not only am I concerned about the present, I'm also worried about unknown things in the future.
"Mom, don't worry. Even if my biological parents come back in the future, I will protect Yike and won't let her get hurt." Ziyi quickly assured her, and his words came from the bottom of his heart.
"Yuling, you think too much. My elder brother and his wife are both sensible people. How could they not like Yike?" Li Haoran said.
Because of this incident, Zhang Yuling didn't listen to Li Haoran for the first time that day. She just needed to know that Du Qingcang's family would support Yi Ke. As for Li Haoran, she could just stay where he wanted. Men are all careless and don't know what's going on at home. All they see are the superficial things that their family members want them to see.
After that day, Du Jiankang joined Yi Ke in daily running and boxing. He also asked Ziyi to teach him archery. From then on, there would always be a meat dish on the family table at every meal, and wild ginseng soup would be stewed every now and then.
Du Jiankang's body had become visibly fatter. Of course, he wasn't really fat, but he was no longer skin and bones. His face was no longer pale, but had a faint blush on it. He no longer panted when he walked fast.
Du Qingcang and Wang Cuihua were smiling every day. They worked without taking a break and wished they could do more work to thank the Yike family for their help.
On the contrary, I felt sorry for them and was afraid that they would be exhausted, but no matter how hard I tried to persuade them, they still worked so hard. In Wang Cuihua's words, she was happy and felt like she had endless energy.
Yike's family lives a prosperous and happy life, but those people in the paradise are not so happy.
Li Youcai's home:
"Mom, why are there only these wild vegetables every day? I really want to eat the cabbage from my sister Yike's house. This pancake is so disgusting, not as good as the scallion pancake from my sister Yike's house. And my sister Yike's meat pancake is the best. Mom, do you think my sister Yike is back? Why didn't Uncle Hao let us eat at his house when he came back? My sister Yike is still the best! The calves that my sister Yike gave me have grown a lot. I will take them to see her when she comes back. Mom, do you think my sister Yike will come back?" Li Xiaoying asked questions one after another while eating the disgusting pancake in her mouth.
"Eat, eat. You can't stop talking even if there's food to eat. How can a child have so many questions?" Shen Hongmei said impatiently.
"My little sister is right. It's all Chen Shengli's fault. Otherwise, we would still be eating minced meat pancakes at Yi Ke's house. I never thought Chen Shengli is that kind of person." Li Youcai's youngest son Li Xiaoshan also said.
"Are you done yet? Chen Shengli, Chen Shengli, are you qualified to call me by this name? You have no manners at all. Have you learned everything I taught you?" Li Youcai scolded.
"Why are you being mean to the child? I think we should really think about the marriage of the two children." Chen Hongmei said, "Yue'er is a good child. It's okay for her to marry into his family, but our Xiaoying should consider not marrying into his family. I'm afraid that Xiaoying will be bullied."
"If I had known he was that kind of person, I would not have decided on this marriage. How can I regret it now?" Li Youcai sighed.
"Why can't you break off the engagement? Aren't you not married yet? Breaking off the engagement will only give you a bad reputation. We are in the deep mountains and forests, no one outside knows about it. At worst, you can just marry outside the mountains." Shen Hongmei was not convinced and really didn't want her daughter to marry into such a family. "How do you know about the people outside? You don't know what's going on, and it will be too late when you know it. It's better to see it in front of you. Chen Shengli doesn't dare to do anything to Xiaoying, we are watching!" Li Youcai felt very regretful. Having such a relative would bring a lot of trouble in the future. Alas!
"Dad, I don't want to marry into his family. If I have to marry, I want to marry into my younger sister Yi Ke's family." Li Xiaoying was unhappy.
"Okay, okay! If Sister Xiaoying marries into Yike's family, she will have meat to eat every day. I think this is a good idea." Li Xiaoshan said.
"Nonsense, Yike's family has no brothers, who are you going to marry?" Li Youcai was almost mad at his son and daughter.
"Who said there isn't one? Isn't Du Jiankang the brother of Yi Ke's sister?" Li Xiaoshan suggested.
"That sickly guy? You should give up this idea right away. What nonsense are you thinking about?" Li Youcai said unhappily.
"He's not a sickly person. I saw Brother Jiankang a few days ago. He was in good health and had a rosy complexion." Li Xiaoying muttered.
"Did you see it? His face was really glowing?" Li Youcai asked in surprise.
"If you don't believe me, ask your eldest brother. He saw it too, and he was even talking to Brother Jiankang." Li Xiaoying said angrily.
"Yes, his health has indeed improved and he can work again. He said he has stopped taking medication and will not take it again in the future." Li Dashan, who had been silent, said when he saw his father looking at him.
"Yike is really capable! She can even look favorably upon someone that even Brother Haoran can't. That's real ability! Listen carefully, you have to be good friends with Yike in the future, okay?" Li Youcai said sternly.
"Of course. My sister is so nice and even gave us a cow. I won't be an ungrateful person." Li Xiaoying said happily.
"Then have you helped her family cut grass for the cows? Yi Ke is not at home, and there are only Sister Yuling and Wang Cuihua, so they definitely can't do it." Li Youcai asked.
"Yes, but Sister Yuling said it's not necessary. She said there's still a lot of cow grass that hasn't been eaten. I want to cut two baskets with Xiaoying and send them over in a few days. The day we delivered the cow grass, we saw Meili and her three daughters also carrying a basket each. Meili said that Yue'er and her mother would sometimes send two baskets over." Shen Hongmei said.
