Hua’an Farm Reclamation

After a busy day, Yunyi thought of the little fellow, Guo Anyi, and went to the ward at the back. ”How are you feeling? Any better?”

The little fellow was eating. When he saw her approach, his eyes filled with delight. ”Sister.”

Yunyi didn’t correct his form of address. ”How are you? Still dizzy?”

Guo Anyi shook his head gently. ”Not dizzy anymore.”

But just after shaking his head, he felt a bit uncomfortable. ”It’s not dizzy as long as I don’t shake my head.”

Seeing this, Yunyi said, ”Be good tonight, take your medicine, and get a good night’s sleep. You’ll be fine tomorrow.”

The officer placed the lunchbox on the bedside table. ”Little Anyi, you eat first. I need to talk to Doctor Chu for a moment.”

Guo Anyi nodded obediently. ”Okay.”

The officer stood up and gestured for Yunyi to go outside. They walked out one after the other. ”Doctor Chu, he’s alright now, isn’t he?”

Yunyi nodded. Thinking of the little fellow’s dependence on her, she couldn’t help but advocate for him. ”This child clearly hasn’t had enough nutrition for the past six months. Plus, this recent ordeal has taken a great toll on him, leaving him quite weak. If possible, it would be best for him to eat some nutritious food to build up his strength.”

The officer listened and then responded, ”Okay, I’ll report this truthfully to my superiors. If there are no issues, I’ll take him back to the station tomorrow.”

They chatted for a few more moments. Then, Yunyi leaned in and spoke to Guo Anyi inside, ”Eat well. I’m going off duty now.”

Hearing this, Guo Anyi asked a little anxiously, ”Will you come to see me tonight?”

She wasn’t on duty today, but seeing the hope in the child’s eyes, she replied, ”I will. I’ll stay until you fall asleep.”

After all, the boy is leaving tomorrow, she thought. Making an extra trip isn’t a big deal, and it’s not far anyway.

After leaving the clinic, she took her lunchbox, went to the canteen to get food, and returned. Looking at the tofu and cabbage stew in her lunchbox, she found herself craving meat.

Remembering the air-dried bacon she had, she quickly stir-fried a portion with green peppers in her space. She ate it contentedly with the meal from the canteen.

She recalled that it had started to snow heavily again outside. The thought of the grandfather and grandson in the thatched cottage in Nanbai Village made her uneasy.

She found a thick quilt she had acquired from the Shen Family, mended it with several patches, and packed some grain. To avoid trouble, she only included two pounds of fine grain, focusing mainly on coarse grains.

Once everything was ready, she exited her space.

Just as she’d thought, the ground outside was now white with snow.

Considering this weather, she mused, the workers at the reservoir will have a terrible time tomorrow. The cold itself is one thing, but if their cotton-padded shoes get wet, their feet will be unbearably frozen.

She locked her courtyard gate and hurried up the mountain.

Once in the mountains, she activated her Qinggong and reached the vicinity of the thatched cottage within half an hour.

After confirming that the coast was clear, she retrieved the prepared items from her space and headed directly to the cottage.

She knocked lightly on the wooden door.

A rustling sound came from inside, followed by a voice asking, ”Who is it?”

Yuan Yuxun saw that his grandson had already hidden their things, so he stood up.

Yunyi naturally knew what they were hiding. ”It’s me,” she replied.

Hearing Yunyi’s voice, both grandfather and grandson sighed in relief. Yuan Zining jumped down from the kang bed, not even bothering with his shoes. ”Sister Yunyi, you’re here!”

As he spoke, he pulled open the wooden door and stepped aside. ”Come in quickly.”

After Yunyi entered, Yuan Zining stuck his little head out to look around. Seeing no one, he closed the door. ”Sister, it’s snowing! Why did you still come over?”

Yunyi set down her back-basket. ”It’s precisely because it’s snowing that I came.”

She took everything out of the basket. ”The quilt I gave you before was a bit thin. You can use it as an under-blanket now. I’ve made this new quilt look old, so just hide it under the straw during the day. Qiao Yuxiang won’t come to bother you this winter. You can get through the season peacefully.”

Yuan Yuxun’s eyes moistened as he looked at the thick quilt on the kang bed. His grandson’s life was finally saved!

A few days ago, Yunyi had come to help them plaster a layer of yellow mud over the drafty walls, making the room much warmer. Now, with this quilt, he would no longer have to hold his grandson all night to keep him warm while they slept.

He made a firm resolution in his heart. Looking at Yunyi, who was interacting with his young grandson, he asked, ”Would you be willing to learn Western medicine from me?”
