After watching him leave, the mother and daughter closed the door and rode two bicycles to the medicinal materials base more than ten miles away.
The medicinal materials base is under the jurisdiction of the army and has a total area of thousands of acres. All the people working here are retired soldiers and their families, and the management is particularly strict. After the mother and daughter registered their information here, the things they brought with them also underwent several rounds of inspections. They were only allowed in after everything was confirmed.
When the mother and daughter rode their bicycles to the dormitory area, they were both tired and out of breath. Fortunately, they saw Shui Hongjie as soon as they arrived at the dormitory door.
"Jie Zi." Bai Shuixian called first.
"Aunt Gong."
Shui Hongjie immediately put down the hoe in his hand, ran towards the mother and daughter with a smile, and rushed to Gong Linglong, "Sister Linglong."
"Are you going to work with a hoe?" Gong Linglong asked him.
"Well, I'm going to help weed the herb fields."
Seeing that the two of them brought a lot of things, and the bicycle bridles and the baskets on the back were full, Shui Hongjie smiled shyly and said, "Aunt Gong, Sister Linglong, we have everything here. The base leaders have provided us with a set of daily necessities. We eat in the cafeteria. We have no shortage of food at home. Don't spend money next time."
"I didn't buy too much, just some things to nourish your grandparents and aunt."
Bai Shuixian actually prepared a lot of things and asked him, "Jie Zi, have your grandparents gone to work?"
"Grandma is at home. Grandpa and aunt are out at work. Binzi is taking care of Grandma at home."
The mother and daughter pushed their bicycles and followed him to his home. The houses here were all built with cement bricks and earth bricks, and were built in neat rows. The open space in front was full of clothes drying in the sun, and not far away was a large drying yard where medicinal herbs were dried. The air was filled with the rich fragrance of Chinese medicinal herbs.
"Wantang, Linglong, you are here."
When Grandma Shui heard them talking, she stretched her neck to look outside.
Bai Shuixian entered the room carrying something in both hands. Seeing the Master's wife leaning against the bed with a pen and paper at her side, she hurried over and said, "Master's wife, please take care of your health first. Wait until you feel better before you get back to work."
"I've been taking the medicine you prescribed these past few days, and I feel much better. I'm lying at home with nothing to do, so I decided to write this down."
Seeing that the mother and daughter had brought a lot of things, and Gong Linglong was carrying a large basket, Grandma Shui said hurriedly, "Wantang, this place is great. Xiao Lu has arranged everything for us very well. We have everything we need. You can take these things back and keep them for your own health."
"Teacher's wife, I specially prepared this for you. You, the teacher, and Sister Meirong are not in good health, and Jiezi and Binzi are all in their growing years, so they must eat well."
Bai Shuixian placed all the things she brought on the table and told the two children, "Jiezi, Binzi, this is milk powder and malted milk, as well as red dates, brown sugar and calcium tablets. Put them in the cupboard first and drink them with your grandparents and aunt on time every day."
"Here's a jar of lard, five pounds of pork, two fish, two chickens, and twenty eggs. The weather is getting hotter, so you can stew them and eat them within the next two or three days."
"These jars and cans are filled with pickles and kimchi. They can be stored for a long time and can be eaten slowly."
"This bag contains clothes and shoes, one set for each of you. Try them on later. If they don't fit, ask Sister Meirong to alter them for you. There are also some scraps of cloth. Ask Sister Meirong to make you some underwear or something."
After that, he brought a cloth bag of medicine to the bedside, "Master's wife, I brought you some good herbs, all prepared. Your body is seriously weak, so you need to use good medicine to slowly recuperate. I'll ask the teacher to prescribe a decoction for you to take orally slowly."
"Wantang, I'm sorry for the expense." Grandma Shui held her hand, feeling very touched.
"Master's wife, please don't say such awkward things."
Bai Shuixian feigned anger, placed the bag on the bedside, and said, "Master's wife, you must continue to take your medicine and recuperate. Don't be reluctant. I will send it to you on time. I have asked the nursing home's leadership to help buy a wheelchair. It will take two weeks to arrive. I will send it to you later."
"Wantang, Master's wife, I won't say thank you anymore. If you need any help in the future, just let me know."
The couple has some connections, but due to their personalities, they are unwilling to trouble their old friends unless it is absolutely necessary. However, if the Gong family needs help, they will definitely shamelessly ask their old friends for help.
Bai Shuixian smiled and said, "Master's wife, don't worry. If I need help, I won't be polite to you or the teacher."
This time they also brought teaching materials and textbooks for the Shui Hongjie brothers, and bought them a lot of stationery. Gong Linglong handed them all over to them. The two elders of the Shui family and Shui Meirong were all top university graduates, so it was no problem for them to teach the two children at home.
They were not allowed to walk around in the medicinal materials base, so the mother and daughter did not go out. They stayed in the house and chatted with Grandma Shui until the father and daughter of the Shui family came back from get off work at noon.
The spirits of the Shui family father and daughter improved a lot. After just a few days of work, they seemed to have found their spiritual support. The smiles on their faces were not as sad as before, and both of them looked radiant.
The mother and daughter stayed here for lunch. Shui Meirong went to the cafeteria to get some food and stewed a chicken at home. Everyone at the table had a nice and enjoyable meal.
After dinner, the Shui family father and daughter had to go to work, and Gong Linglong and the others also said goodbye and went home.
After riding a bicycle for an hour and returning home, Gong Linglong, who usually had good physical strength, was so tired that her legs were shaking. As soon as she got home, she lay down on the bed and said, "Mom, I'm so tired. I'll rest for two hours."
"Linglong, drink some water before going to sleep."
Bai Shuixian was slightly better than her, so she poured her a bowl of warm water and handed it to her.
The drinking water at home is all drawn from the space, and its taste is sweeter than ordinary well water, but even someone as perceptive as Lu Jingchuan didn't notice anything unusual.
Gong Linglong drank the water in one gulp, spread out the neatly folded quilt, fell on the comfortable bed, and fell asleep in just ten seconds.
I slept very comfortably and had a beautiful dream.
When she woke up, she heard fragrance wafting from the kitchen. Gong Linglong immediately got up, stretched, put on her shoes, and went out to fetch water and wash up.
Bai Shuixian was cooking. Seeing her get up, she smiled gently, "It seems you must have been really tired from riding your bike today. You've only slept for three hours."
"I've been feeling a bit tired lately, but I feel much better after a good night's sleep."
When Gong Linglong saw the steamed pork with rice flour and the rich and milky fish head soup in the pot, her gluttony was instantly awakened. She immediately poured some hot water and ran into the house to wash up.
When she came out of the shower, the fish head soup was served. She immediately helped serve the dishes, and the mother and daughter sat in the living room to eat dinner.
