Chapter 5 First Meal



At this time, Li Yan had returned to her mother's room and stood by the bed, looking at this thin and pale woman with a round face, a straight nose, and small and delicate facial features.

Li Yan was lost in thought until a woman's voice rang in her ear, interrupting her thoughts. "Yan'er, why are you up? Are you feeling better?"

Seeing her mother struggling to sit up, Li Yan quickly held her down and said: Mom, you are pregnant. Doctor Zhou just came to see you and told you to have a good rest. Lie down quickly.

At this time, Li Erlang came in from outside. Seeing that his wife had woken up, he hurried forward and asked, "Wan'er, are you still feeling unwell?"

Lin grabbed her husband's hand and asked anxiously, "Yan'er said I'm pregnant? Is it true? Am I still dreaming?" Li Erlang gently stroked his wife's hair and said, "It's true, Wanniang, we are going to have another child!"

After hearing her husband's answer, Mrs. Lin burst into tears. She wanted this child so much!

For years, the overt and covert ridicule from those around her had left her breathless. Her mother-in-law had secretly taken her to the temple countless times, and whenever someone mentioned a fertility goddess somewhere, she would take her there to worship!

However, ever since her youngest son passed away, she also fell seriously ill and has not been able to conceive for all these years. Gradually, this has become a demon in her heart. Now that she has a child again, she is so happy that she cries.

Li Yan looked at this heartwarming scene, turned around and left the room, leaving the space for her parents.

The Li family's courtyard was bustling with activity. Old Mrs. Wu was excitedly talking to Old Man Li. My uncle was busy repairing farm tools, and my aunt and eldest cousin were busy setting up the tables and stools. My little cousin was squatting on the ground, gesturing at something. Everything felt so real!

Li Erlang came out of the house and walked over to his daughter. He asked softly, "Yan'er, how are you? It's been so chaotic today, I haven't had time to ask if you're feeling better."

Li Yan was suddenly asked and nodded obediently.

Looking at the cool, handsome, and slightly haggard man beside her, he was looking at her with concern.

Li Yan felt dazed for a moment. Ever since she became an orphan and fell ill, she has been alone.

She lived alone and overcame many difficulties along the way, which was really hard. Now she has a family!

As Old Lady Wu said it was time for dinner, everyone went to the main hall.

Wu was holding a bowl of noodles with a poached egg on top. She handed it to Li Yan and said, "Send it to your mother."

Li Yan ran into Lin's room with a bowl of food, and handed it to Lin: "Mom, it's time to eat. Grandma made it especially for you."

Lin took the bowl and gently asked Yan'er if she wanted some eggs. Li Yan quickly waved her hand to tell her mother that she would go eat right away, and then she ran away.

Li Yan came out of the room and returned to the main hall. A pot of corn porridge, a portion of corn cake, and a plate of stir-fried cabbage were already placed on the eight-immortals table.

The golden color and the aroma of the food made Li Yanran, who had been hungry for a long time, stare at the rice bowl.

Old Mrs. Wu, who was serving porridge, saw Li Yan's look and said with a smile, "I think Erya's illness has healed. She now knows she's hungry!"

Then she filled a large bowl for Li Yan. Li Yan stood up and took the bowl and said, "Grandma, you're right. I'm so hungry that I can eat a whole cow!"

The little cousin who was busy eating immediately said, "I want to eat beef, too! I want to eat meat!"

Old man Li laughed and scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about? How can you eat cows?" Just like that, Li Yanran ate her first meal in this world while laughing.
