Chapter Forty-Two: Coming and Going

Luo Qingjiu was in good spirits today and sat up for a while with Shen Yue's help.

Just when Shen Yue was about to take a look at the healing condition of his lumbar vertebra, there was the sound of Luo's mother knocking on the door, "Yue'er, your Aunt Chen is here."

"Okay, mother, I'll come right away." Shen Yue responded, putting down his half-lifted clothes and tucking the quilt for him.

"Ms. sir, please lie down for a while and don't turn around. I'm going to check on Aunt Chen." Shen Yue lowered her voice and whispered in Luo Qingjiu's ear.

"Okay." Luo Qingjiu nodded, lying on the bed very obediently, holding the book that Shen Yue gave him in his hand, and began to read it.

He has to start working hard too!

Shen Yue came out of the back room and immediately saw Aunt Chen chatting with Luo's mother in the yard.

He walked over and called out softly, "Aunt Chen."

Aunt Chen heard this and teased her with a smile, "I didn't bother you two, did you?"

Shen Yue's face immediately turned red, and she quickly explained that she was helping Luo Qingjiu's injuries.

Seeing that Shen Yue's face was so red, Aunt Chen couldn't bear to tease her any more, so she said, "Auntie, you are just kidding me. Come and see what good things Auntie has brought you?"

Aunt Chen weighed the basket in her hand with a mysterious look on her face.

"Auntie must have brought good things." Shen Yue said sweetly.

No matter what Aunt Chen brought, she always wanted to make good friends with their family.

These words made Aunt Chen laugh. "Yue'er is so good at talking. If Auntie doesn't bring you some good things, I won't be able to explain it."

As he spoke, he took out everything in the basket.

A pack of small oranges, three tender freshly picked cucumbers with fine thorns, and finally Aunt Chen actually brought out a bowl of cooked pig blood.

"Why did Aunt Chen do this? Take it back quickly." Luo's mother took the lead and put the pig blood back into Aunt Chen's little basket.

This year's harvest is not good, and every family is struggling. How can they be embarrassed to accept something as valuable as pig blood?

"Why are you so polite to me? My family has found a job killing pigs in the town these days. There is no shortage of pig blood."

Aunt Chen took out the pig blood again and held down Luo Mu's hand, "I've also heard about your Xiaojiu. Pig blood is a great tonic. I specially asked the one from my family to bring it back. It's most suitable for little ones." Can’t beat it.”

After hearing this, Luo Mu took back her hand.

Shen Yue also said at the right time, "Mom, Aunt Chen's idea is too thoughtful. Let's accept it and call Aunt Gu later and let's have a meal together." What comes and goes.

As soon as he finished speaking, a soft female voice sounded.

"Hey, when are you going to eat? I'm really hungry for Yue'er's cooking."

Everyone looked at the door, and Aunt Gu also came carrying a small basket.

Aunts Chen and Gu looked at each other and smiled. They had thought of something together!

"Sister Chen's legs are really fast. I was wondering if I should come first."

"No, there's no one who can walk ten miles and eight villages faster than me." Aunt Chen's face looked proud, and she almost crossed her arms for a moment.

The two joked a bit, and Aunt Gu also started to go out to get the things she had brought.

A handful of water spinach, a bowl of homemade pickled cabbage, and a root-shaped thing that looks like a sweet potato.

Aunt Chen picked it up and looked at it for a while, but she didn't know why. She teased her and said, "Auntie Gu, you didn't dig up a tree root and brought it here."

"You don't understand this. It's called Gamamu. It's good for your health. The one we had dug up the mountain for several days before we found two."

Aunt Gu took the kudzu and gently opened the outermost skin, revealing the white and tender flesh of the kudzu.

Aunt Chen's family is very novel. She knows Ge Mum, but she just didn't expect him to look like this.

Shen Yue stepped forward and took a closer look. Isn't this kudzu root?

A good thing indeed!

The Gu family's aunt took advantage of the situation and stuffed the things into Shen Yue's hands. "Your uncle found the recipe. His old uncle broke his leg when he went hunting in the mountains. He only drank it for half a month and was able to move with a crutch."

"You can mix this ge mamu with the same amount of rice and cook it into porridge for Xiaojiu to drink. Xiaojiu is young and will be full of energy in less than half a month. After you finish drinking these, tell your aunt that there is still a big piece at home."

Aunt Gu's arms were rounded and she gestured, "So big!"

"Okay, okay, I know your family has such a big Ge Mum." Auntie Chen also imitated the gesture.

Everyone laughed together.

It was getting late, so the two aunts sat around for a while before leaving.

Shen Yue quickly stood up to stop her, "Two aunts, I was not joking when I asked you to have dinner. It's better to choose a different day. Let's stay for a light meal tonight."

The two aunts were the people who Shen Yue came to another world and took the initiative to show her kindness.

She really wanted to treat her two aunts to a meal, and she had purchased a lot of things during the day, and both aunts happened to be here today.

"No, no, no, no, let's meet again another day. The guy from my family has gone to pick up Da Lang. He should be home by now. If you don't see me when you get home, you will have to search all over the village again." Auntie Chen rushed to her with a smile. Shen Yue waved her hand.

The same goes for Aunt Gu's family. "The one in my family started cooking when she went out. The food should be ready by now."

Perhaps because she was afraid that Shen Yue would think too much, Aunt Gu continued, "I am greedy just thinking about Yue'er's craftsmanship. When Xiaojiu recovers from her illness, I will definitely celebrate it at your house."

Shen Yue saw that the two aunts had already made arrangements at home, so she no longer forced them to stay.

Besides, the dining table had been moved into the back room. It was really not good for Luo Qingjiu to have people at home to eat in her current state.

Then he said, "I won't let the aunts wait too late. When the time comes, call the two uncles and Brother Chen, and let's have a good gathering."

Luo Qingjiu's injury is no longer serious under the treatment of her secret technique. After a few more days of acupuncture, she can try to get him to stand up.

Chen and Gu's aunts didn't show any pretense when they heard this and immediately agreed.

"Okay, just send it here. Go back and pack your things with your mother-in-law."

Once it was delivered to the door, Aunt Chen wouldn't let Shen Yue deliver it any more and pushed her back.

Aunt Gu also waved her hand, "Go back quickly, we will go to town together again tomorrow morning."

"Okay, those two aunts will walk slowly on the road." Shen Yue waved her hand and watched the two aunts leave.

When the two aunts were no longer visible, Shen Yue turned around and entered the yard.

Luo's mother had already put away the things brought by her two aunts and was waiting for her return in the yard.

Shen Yue also took out the things she purchased during the day and organized them with Luo Mu.

First, he put the books and pens he bought for Luo Qingjiu back into the room. After coming out, he took out a bunch of small white porcelain jars from his backpack and stacked them neatly.

Luo Mu was stunned for a few seconds and couldn't help but say, "Yue'er... why did you buy so many small cans?"

Luo's mother's tone was full of doubts, and she did not mean to blame Shen Yue, although she also knew that white porcelain items must not be cheap.

Shen Yue had no intention of hiding it from Luo's mother and told her about her long-term cooperation with Su Yuanzhai.
