After a while, several people came to a small courtyard, and Yun Cuihe knocked on the door with red eyes.
"Mom, dad, eldest brother and second brother, I'm back."
People in the room heard the sound and came out one after another. Yun Dabao hurried forward and opened the courtyard door, and his face was full of excitement when he saw that it was really Yun Cuihe.
"Why did my little sister come back today? My mother asked me to send you some rice in a few days."
"I missed home, so I went back." Yun Cuihe said while looking into the room, "Brother, where is mother?"
"Mom is in the house." Yun Dabao looked at her with concern, "Can your body still bear the pain of walking such a long distance?"
"Don't worry, brother, my health is much better." Turning to look at the relatives coming out of the house one after another, Yun Cuihe wiped the tears on her face, "Dad, sister-in-law, second brother, second sister-in-law, I'm back ”
The two sisters-in-law didn't say anything, but their eyes were red.
Yun Zhengping looked at his daughter whom he had not seen for a long time, with tears in his eyes, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "Okay, I'm back. Go see your mother in the house."
Yun Cuihe sighed and went into the house.
"Mom, I'm back."
Hearing the voice, Li Qiulian struggled to sit up from the bed, "My daughter, you are finally back."
The mother and daughter hugged and cried for a while before letting go. Yun Cuihe touched Li Qiulian's leg.
"Mom, what's wrong with your legs?"
Li Qiulian sighed, "Mom, this old cold-legged person can't live a day or two anymore. Don't worry, as long as you are well, my mother will be fine."
When Yun Cuihe saw her mother's much older face, she felt distressed and guilty, and couldn't help but shed tears again.
"I failed to live up to my expectations and made my mother worried."
Li Qiulian stroked Yun Cuihe's back lovingly.
"When I married you to Banpo Village, it was because I found out that the old Lu family was kind-hearted and that Jiahui's child was a scholar. I thought you would have a better life in the future, but my mother didn't expect him..." It seemed like Afraid of touching Yun Cuihe's sadness, Li Qiulian sighed heavily, "I'm sorry for you."
Yun Cuihe shook her head: "Mom, I'm not bitter. Although he has been away these years, the three children have been obedient and filial. I have no regrets and have never blamed my parents."
Li Qiulian wiped the tears from her eyes and patted Yun Cuihe's hand.
"I've been traveling for half a day today, can my body still handle the food?"
Yun Cuihe sniffed, with a smile on her face: "Mom, my health is much better. Yueyue invited a doctor for me some time ago, took some medicine, and bought a lot of things to take care of my body. If it weren't for Because my health is better, I can’t walk that far.”
Li Qiulian sat up straight, "I heard someone said that Xinghe has a wife?"
Yun Cuihe nodded, "Yes, his name is Chu Yue. He is a kind and filial child. I will let several children come in later to show my mother one by one."
Li Qiulian's face was full of joy and she said three good words in a row.
Outside the house, Lu Xinghe handed the fish in his hand and the rice and red dates in his basket to Yun Dabao.
"Uncle, my mother asked me to bring these. You can take them to the kitchen."
Yun Dabao frowned, "You are not having a good life, so why are you taking things from here? Such a big fish cost a lot of money, right?"
Lu Xinghe put the empty basket under the eaves, "We caught the fish in the river and brought it with us. We didn't spend any money. Uncle, let's put these things away first. Let's go see grandma in the house." .”
After saying that, he took brothers Chu Yue, Lu Xingping and Lu Xingan to the house.
Yun Zhengping looked at his two daughters-in-law not far away, "Eldest daughter-in-law, you and the second daughter-in-law go to cook quickly. Chop the fish for lunch and let our family eat it."
"Okay, Dad."
The two of them quickly took the fish from Yun Dabao and went to work in the kitchen.
The four of them, Lu Xinghe, entered the house and called their grandma one after another.
After Li Qiulian responded with a smile, she waved to Chu Yue with a loving face, "Child, come here and let grandma take a look."
Chu Yue glanced at Yun Cuihe and walked over gracefully.
The three Lu Xinghe brothers were men after all. After saying hello to Li Qiulian, they went out.
Li Qiulian grabbed Chu Yue's hand, took out a thin silver bracelet from the handkerchief under the pillow and put it on her hand, with a trace of nostalgia on her face.
"This bracelet was given to my grandma as a hairpin gift at home when she was young. Later, she worked too much and her wrists became thicker and she couldn't wear it anymore. I heard that you were getting married to Xinghe a few days ago, so I asked your uncle to take it to the town. I washed it and put it on your hand, it looks nice and tight."
Chu Yue looked at the thin silver bracelet on her wrist that looked brand new, and looked in the direction of Yun Cuihe with some confusion.
Yun Cuihe had seen this thin silver bracelet before, and it was very precious to her mother. In the past, when her family was in poor condition, she was reluctant to melt it for food.
"Since grandma gave it to me, just take it."
Li Qiulian pulled Chu Yue's sleeves down to cover the thin silver bracelet, "Take it, it's a little bit of grandma's kindness."
Chu Yue stroked the thin silver bracelet under her sleeve, feeling a touch of warmth in her heart.
Her family wished they could peel off the skin from her body, but after marrying Lu Xinghe, every relative here seemed to treat her kindly.
Yun Cuihe looked at Chu Yue: "Yueyue, have you ever heard your uncle next door talk about how to treat Lao Han's legs?"
Only then did Chu Yue look at Li Qiulian's legs.
"Is Grandma's old cold leg serious? Can you let me take a look first?"
The problem of old cold legs can be serious or minor. Mild symptoms can be alleviated by active treatment. Severe symptoms may even lead to amputation or life-threatening conditions.
She had to see how serious her grandmother's cold legs were.
Before Li Qiulian could answer, Yun Cuihe first lifted the thin quilt on the bed and helped Li Qiulian expose her legs.
"Mom, when Yueyue was at her mother's house, there was a foot doctor next door. She knows something about it. Just let her see."
Hearing that Chu Yue had some abilities, Li Qiulian sighed and nodded.
"My knees have always been sore and numb in the past few years. The drought in recent months has been a little better. I can get out of bed and take a few steps. If it's cloudy and rainy, my feet will hurt even if they don't touch the ground. It's even worse in winter." I don’t dare to get out of bed.”
Thinking that it would be cold soon, she felt worried.
Chu Yue looked at Li Qiulian's legs and saw that her knees were slightly swollen. She reached out and pinched her kneecap and touched it. Then she lifted one of her legs and moved it. Seeing the painful look on her face, Chu Yue felt... Yue put her legs back on the bed, put down her pants, and covered herself with the quilt.
"Although grandma's cold leg is serious, it can still be cured. As long as it is taken care of well, at least life can return to normal."
