"Gu, I invited you here today because I want you to continue treating Yaoyao. She will still wake up occasionally after the last treatment."

"You go and prepare the wick and tung oil. I'll wash my hands first."

Liu Lian prepared her things and stayed by Ling Shuyao's side.

This was the last local treatment. She didn't believe that Ling Shuyao couldn't wake up.

They waited for Ling Youzhi to come back before starting their operations. This is a folk earthwork, which involves using a wick soaked in tung oil and lighting it with a match. Starting from the philtrum, the temples, the center of the eyebrows, the back... and finally the soles of the feet, everything is burned.

Ling Shuyao heard the sparse sounds of conversation in his ears, and felt the burning pain coming from his body. It was like a sudden enlightenment, and his mind suddenly cleared up. My soul seemed to have been scalded all over again, and all that was left was a burning, numbing dull pain.

Before he could recover, he heard a woman's voice, which was really noisy.

Liu Lian and Ling Youzhi finished the finishing work and both stood up and walked to the door.

As soon as he heard this voice, he knew who was coming.

"What else is there to treat? The doctor has been away for so many days this week and he still hasn't woken up. Shouldn't you give up too?"

"I'm telling you the truth. Listen, your child must be here to collect debts. You see, she has been struggling a lot since she was a child. It was difficult to give birth to her and she almost collapsed. She was finally born, but she often suffered from diarrhea, colds and fever. , what kind of enteritis and pneumonia, when did you not spend money this time? "

Statement Jane took a sip of water and continued.

"One year old, she was sent to your parents' house for weaning. She made a fuss at night and came back. Her father went to pick her up. Her legs were broken when she was left at the door of the house. During these few months of rest, weren't your father-in-law and I doing the work in the fields? "

"When she was two years old, she burned down most of the house while playing with fire. How much does it cost to rebuild her? Why do you keep her like this? She should just go back to where she came from, so as not to be a nuisance."

Shu Zhenzhen raised her eyebrows, her eyes full of contempt, snorted lightly, hugged her chest with her hands, thought for a while and then sat down on the bench at the door.

"As the saying goes, if you don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer the consequences. You have to think clearly. Remember to cook, don't patronize this little girl, she won't even want to cook."

If it weren't for the fact that Shu Shuzhen was the nominal mother of the leader of the founding army, Liu Lian wouldn't even want to look at her, her mouth smelled like a stone in a latrine.

Ling Youzhi couldn't stand Shuzhen the most, she was selfish and took advantage of her.

"Shu Zhenzhen, do you think what you are saying is human? The child still has a life after all. He is just lying there. He just spent more money on medical treatment during this period. Where is he here to collect debts? Whose child is not sick?"

"Ling Youzhi, do you understand again? Bah, it's easy to eat carrots and worry less."

"Yes, Mom. If your child doesn't get sick, it won't cost you money. This sick child isn't your child, so I don't need you to worry about it. You can do whatever you like, just take a walk and don't send him away."

"Oh, then I don't want to take care of it."

"Shu Zhenzhen, just do it. You will regret it later." Ling Youzhi finished speaking angrily.

"none of your business."

Shu Zhen glanced at Youzhi, hummed softly, took the hoe and went down to the ground.

Liu Lian was too lazy to pay attention to She Zhen. She turned around and saw Ling Shuyao looking at her with bright eyes.

"Gu, do you think Yaoyao is awake?"

To say that Ling Shuyao was half asleep before, now this familiar voice completely made Ling Shuyao open her eyes.

The first thing I saw was my mother's haggard face. She hadn't rested well for a long time, resulting in black and blue eyes and sallow skin. She looked at her with tears in her eyes. Although her face was tired, it was as gentle as a spring breeze.

Ling Shuyao licked her chapped lips, opened her mouth and called her mother.

Listening to her daughter's soft call, Liu Lian confirmed that her child was back.

"Yao Yao, you wake up!"

"Mom, I really want to drink water. I'm thirsty."

"Okay, just wait, mom will get it right now."

Liu Lian went to get the water in three steps and two steps at a time. Her steps were as big as stepping on a hot wheel.

Ling Shuyao was about to call her aunt, but her aunt stopped her.

"Good boy, don't talk and have a good rest. You're awake here and it's time for me to go back." Ling Youzhi said, patted Ling Shuyao's hand, turned and walked out the door.

When she walked out, Liu Lian came back with water. In order for Ling Shuyao to drink water better, he cut a bamboo tube, washed it and put it in the water cup. Ling Shuyao drank heavily from the bamboo tube.

"Auntie, are you going back?"

"I'm back. You've been up for several days. When Yaoyao gets better, you should take a rest. I still have something to do, so go ahead and do your work." Ling Youzhi said as he went out.

"Auntie, I'm troubling you today. Then I won't send it to you. When Yaoyao is well, I will bring her up for you to see."

"Go back and do your work!" The voice faded away.

Liu Lian looked at Ling Shuyao, who was already sitting on the bedside, and said, "Yaoyao, are you still thirsty? Do you want some water?"

Ling Shuyao: "I'm not thirsty anymore. Mom, how long have I been sleeping?"

Liu Lian: "It's been seven or eight days, and you've been worried about me to death." She raised her hand and touched Ling Shuyao's head.

Thinking of Ling Shuyao's grandparents, it makes me feel cold, because Ling Jianjun is not his biological son, so his heart is full of bias.

"Yao Yao, you go to sleep for a while. Mom will cook some porridge for you. There is still medicine boiling on the stove. Mom will go take a look."

"Okay, Mom." Ling Shuyao replied softly.

Looking at this familiar room, the curtains are still fine floral fabrics, the TV has a large back seat, the cabinets and bed are painted with a familiar deep red paint, and the big orange tree outside the window is still swaying in the wind.

Only then did Ling Shuyao realize that she was really back, not in a dream, but back when her father was still alive.

I was obviously still on the plane to Haicheng just now, but I still don't know how and why I came back suddenly. I was still a child. This is really difficult.

Staring blankly at the top of the mosquito net, she touched her neck and saw that the jade pendant she had been wearing was missing! I don't know where I got the strength at this time, so I turned over and sat up, rummaging around in the bed in a panic. The master said that this thing cannot be separated from the body. It cannot be separated from the body. What should we do if it is separated from the body? Will it have a bad impact on myself?

His face was already pale due to long-term illness, but when he was nervous, his face lost all color. The key is that I can't even remember how I dropped it.

I also remembered that this was still a child, and maybe it wasn’t in my hands yet. I felt relieved after I figured it out. I'm afraid I wasn't crazy.

Whether or not there is a jade pendant will have a big impact.

Forget it, just take it one step at a time. You're back, why don't you spend more time with your parents?

Just as he was thinking this, he turned around and saw a man hurriedly walking towards the door. He had handsome features, a pair of particularly eye-catching red phoenix eyes, a high nose, and thin lips. Although he was wearing ordinary clothes, it did not hide his righteousness. Who is this if not Ling Jianjun?

Ling Jianjun almost jogged to the bedside.

"Yao Yao, it's great that you're awake. Dad is so happy."

"Dad, thank you and my mother for taking care of me day and night. I'm really well and my fever is gone, but my throat and tongue are still a little sore."

"Everything else is fine, really, don't worry."

"Okay, okay, okay. My good daughter finally got over it."

Looking at the scraps of paper on her old father's body and the unique smell of lime slurry on his hands, Ling Shuyao knew that her father was still working at Uncle Jiang's place. She came back in such a hurry and wondered if she had asked for leave.

"Dad, are you still working at Uncle Jiang's place?"

"Yes. You, Uncle Jiang, are the only ones in the village who want to hire workers. I can earn a little if I go. Your father and I only have this skill. I don't trust you two if we go to a far away place."

Ling Shuyao originally wanted to persuade him, but after thinking about it, he decided not to mention it. Not mentioning that he was still a five-year-old child, he suddenly became concerned about Ling Jianjun's work.

"Well, I know, you must pay attention to your health! I heard my mother say that the body is the capital of revolution, and a good body is more important than anything else!"

"Okay, Yaoyao, dad promises you that he will take good care of himself."

"I'm going to see if your mother wants to help. It's time to have lunch. Are you hungry? I'm going to see if the porridge your mother cooked is ready. Doctor Zhou said that if you wake up, you can drink the porridge first."

Ling Shuyao nodded and watched Ling Jianjun go to the kitchen in a hurry. If I could have listened carefully to my mother in my last life about how my father was suddenly diagnosed with cancer after a fall, I might be better able to think of a solution now!

God gave me the opportunity to come back, is it because I can change his destiny? When Ling Shuyao thought about it, he thought of a person who might be able to change the fate of Ling Jianjun.

That person was Dr. Zhou whom Ling Jianjun mentioned just now. Dr. Zhou, whose name is Zhou Zhengxin, is a village doctor sent to the village from the town hospital. He already has twenty or thirty years of medical experience. If you go to him, he will definitely know something. Then you can think of a way to let the construction leader Just go to the hospital for a system check and it should be fine.

There are some problems with the structure of Ling's house. It is rectangular. Ling Jianjun's family lives at the end. One room in the middle is occupied by Ling Youhua and Shu Zhen, and the other room is occupied by Ling Shuyao's aunt's son. , the little aunt and the others will not come back once a year. The child was taken by Ling Youhua and the others. During this period, Ling Shuyao fell ill and was sent to another aunt's house, and she has not come back yet.

To the right and in the center are the main room and kitchen, with a small yard in the front and back. There are many small white chrysanthemums planted on the edge of the yard. The backyard is a pen for raising pigs and cattle, as well as toilets and other facilities.

Just as he was thinking about it, Ling Jianjun came over with gruel!

"Come on, Yaoyao, open your mouth, daddy."

This made Ling Shuyao somewhat uncomfortable. How old is Ling Shuyao, and he's not really a child? Thinking about it, he might as well get up and eat by himself!

"Dad, please put it down and I will do it myself."

As he spoke, he sat up numbly, feeling much better as he watched the meal.

Looking at the small porridge with only chopped vegetable leaves in front of me, I couldn't help but ask, "Dad, are there no pickles? I want to eat pickled radish, otherwise my mouth will taste bad and I won't be able to eat it."

"Yes, wait, I'll get it."

kitchen

"Daughter-in-law, do you still have pickled radish? Your daughter wants to eat it."

"She's just fine. What kind of kimchi should she eat? Dr. Zhou said that the diet should be lighter."

"Isn't this what your daughter wants to eat? Give me a little more. It shouldn't be anything bad."

"Just spoil her. You will regret it when you grow up. The kimchi is in the cupboard, just take a plate and spread it evenly."

"After she finishes eating, take the medicine to her and give it to her in half an hour."

"Okay, wife."

Liu Lian was still busy with the family's lunch, so she asked Ling Jianjun to get it himself. When the parents-in-law come back later and the meal is not ready, they will definitely get scolded again.

After Ling Jianjun got the order, he went to get some plates for Ling Shuyao, and quickly went to deliver them to Ling Shuyao with the plates.
