Chapter 237: Good Omen

aid there isn’t!” Zhang Shenyi suddenly pushed the door open from outside, flicking his sleeve and asking the crowd, “I was waiting at home this whole time, why haven’t you given me any news” 。" I h...Old Mrs. Li immediately had someone call Dr. Zhang. Dr. Zhang was napping in his room and came over soon after.

When the old man opened the lacquered box and saw the ginseng root in perfect condition, he was overjoyed. “Good boy,” he exclaimed, “you’ve got a conscience after all. I haven’t wasted my time on you for nothing.”

Mr. Wang stood up and performed a deep bow. "Thank you, divine doctor, for relieving my pain and saving my life. No matter how valuable the gift, it wouldn't be enough to repay your great kindness."

The divine doctor Zhang waved his hand, just as straightforward as ever. "As for my thanks, this ginseng is enough. You should thank your mother and brothers more. They've suffered a lot for you."

Li Laotai's eyes were full of hope, and she asked cautiously, "Big brother, you still can't remember"

Mr. Wang instinctively scratched his head and replied, "I can't quite remember it yet, but I feel like I'm close. I've been having lots of dreams lately, dreaming about a lot of old things. Maybe one day I'll suddenly dream about my childhood."

"Yes, that's it, that's a good omen!" Zhang Shenyi immediately grabbed his wrist and began to feel his pulse. Finally, he said with joy, "I'll adjust your prescription for you again, just keep taking it. If you're lucky, you might remember in three or five days, if you're unlucky, it'll be about two months."

Old Mrs. Li was so overjoyed that she burst into tears. After years of her son being missing, she had finally found him, but she couldn't recognize him. This was a tremendous pain for any mother.

Finally, it seems like we're nearing the end...

Jia Yin felt sorry for her grandma, so she quickly climbed into the old lady's arms and pulled up her sleeve to wipe her tears. "Grandma don't cry, Fu Niu will give you the little fish."

As she spoke, she held up the jade goldfish in her hand.

I don't know where Mr. Wang got this trinket, a jade piece that was green with pale red at both ends. It was carved into the head and tail of a goldfish, incredibly lifelike and very realistic.

Li Laotai was indeed amused, "You little greedy one, this is stone! You can't eat it! Are you trying to knock out Grandma's teeth!"

Jia Yin giggled mischievously and said nothing, stuffing the goldfish into her mouth again. This made the old woman chuckle and snatch it away, forgetting her sadness from before.

Mr. Wang let out a quiet sigh of relief. Thankfully, he had taken a detour to the marketplace to pick up this little trinket for the little girl. Otherwise, his mother-in-law would have cried, and while he felt sorry for her, his identity hadn't been fully confirmed yet. He didn't know how to comfort her.

There was this clever and filial young girl who helped him solve a big problem.

Soon, Zhang Shenyi wrote a new prescription and bandaged Wang Yuanwai's head like a hedgehog.

While she was at it, the old woman thought of getting some things for her eldest son as a return gift.

But there's only vegetables from the garden at home, and the village's only specialty is hot springs, which can't be taken away...

Thus, she hesitated for a moment, then took her granddaughter to the west wing room that served as a makeshift storage space.

"Little niece, do you have anything good there to bring back for your uncle Of course, if not, don't force yourself, Grandma doesn't want you..."

The old woman had just spoken half a sentence when her granddaughter pulled her over to look at the kang.

Originally, there were two baskets of apples, two baskets of pears, and two baskets of dates piled up on the kang.

I just received my uncle's goldfish, and Jia Yin is already thinking about a return gift.

Now, everyone in the new capital probably knows that the cold melons and fragrant melons come from Suijin Tan. Uncle is temporarily not ready to reveal his relationship with the Li family, even though there are still some goods left in the small courtyard, he can't give them as gifts.

Fortunately, at this time of year, the apples, pears, and dates in the small courtyard were all ripe.

And all of this is the result of countless generations of grafting and optimization in past lives, beating the fruits of this time. Sending them as gifts is definitely a high-class choice.

As expected, Old Mrs. Li was overjoyed.

This red apple, the yellow pear, and the plump and sweet dates are truly delightful.

She thought for a moment, then began to sort the items into four sections.

Besides sending gifts to the eldest son, there are also Liu's family, Mr. Wen and Mrs. Cui who need to be sent gifts.

When Wang, the district magistrate, finished his acupuncture treatment and was about to leave, he received a basket of good fruits and a basket of dates.

He saw Old Lady Li smiling happily, so he didn't refuse and even took a fruit and ate a few bites on the spot, which made the old woman even happier. He then left.

As a result, the Wang family's carriage hadn't traveled very far when Qiongsa arrived with people to deliver gifts.

Mrs. Cui was busy and couldn't come over, but the ceremonial gifts were prepared in abundance, with chicken, fish, meat, and eggs all available.

Mr. Wen sent some stationery, including brushes, ink, and paperweights, as well as a set of fine teaware. Liu Zhiheng prepared four bolts of high-quality cotton fabric and four boxes of pastries, which were entrusted to the Cui family to deliver together.

These three gifts are not particularly valuable, but they were carefully chosen and useful to the Li family.

Li Laotai hurried nervously to load the fruit and dates that had been previously divided onto the cart, and she also loaded six jars of preserved meat, all made by Tao Hongying in her spare time. It was just right for a family of two jars each.

If it were given to outsiders, these things wouldn't be considered impressive, but the Liu family, the Cui family, and Mr. Wen are all like family, so naturally, we should treat them with generosity.

As expected, Qiao's gift was well-received at the Liu household. Liu Zhiheng was overjoyed and, that evening, ordered a feast of stewed pork with broad beans

and set his sights on the fruits and dates.

There's no shortage of fruit here in Xindu. Not to mention the orchards of every household, even a wild fruit is easily found in the mountains.

But things like what Li Jia sent, both the appearance and taste are so good, but it's such a rarity.

Unfortunately, he had only spoken a few words when his elderly father poured cold water on him.

After all, the Li family hasn't spoken up. Whether they don't want to sell or aren't ready to sell, asking them now would put them in a difficult position!

On the morning of August 14th, the village slaughtered pigs and distributed pork and noodles. In the afternoon, Li Lao San's family, including Jia Ren and Gou Sheng Er, finally returned home.

The academy gave them a three-day holiday, enough time for their family to come back and reunite.

Wu Sanniece and Wu Sanuncle came to pick up their son, happily returning home. The Li family also gathered together for a meal.

Having many grandchildren and a life of comfort and security has always been the old woman's greatest wish. Although she is still missing an eldest son, his return is just around the corner.

The old woman was so happy that she poured half a bowl of wine and drank it with her sons.

As a result, before the meal was even served, the old woman fell asleep drunk, completely unconscious, causing everyone to feel both distressed and amused...

The next day, Jia Ren carried his younger sister and led his brothers around the neighborhood for half the morning before their homesickness subsided.

While Zhao Yuru and Li Lao San helped the old woman pick vegetables and do chores, they talked about the big and small events at the shop and inquired about the valley and the village, making it a lively scene as well.

Mid-Autumn Reunion, the emphasis is always on those last two characters.

Even the best food and drinks, and the best days, are more colorful when the whole family is together.

In the courtyard of Wang's mansion in the south of the city, Mr. Wang was holding his son, Mao Ge, and eating fruit. Seeing Wang Fu enter, he chased his son away, saying, "Go tell your mother, remember to add a dish of braised pork for dinner."

Meow Meow loves to eat braised pork, and he ran away in a flash.

Wang Fu then stepped forward and said, “Master, Zhong Shu went to the west courtyard to see you. Yesterday, people from the gambling house went to his home again, he must be unable to bear it any longer.”

Wang Yuanwai nodded, called out to the boy outside the door and gave him a few instructions, then took Wang Fu out.

In the small courtyard west of the city, Zhong Shu sat awkwardly on a small stool, looking even more disheveled than the last time they met.

Not only was his hair completely white, but his clothes were also ragged and dirty, and his hands were covered in mud.

As soon as the courtyard gate opened, Wang, the county magistrate, walked in. He could no longer bear it and knelt down directly, tears streaming down his face.

"Uncle, I'm willing to say anything, please save our family!"

Here are three more for you~~~~ turned out they weren't having it easy either...After dinner, Li Yong hurried home.Li Laosi and his daughter-in-law returned to the side room, originally wanting to have some fun, but he was handed a...
