The next day, Granny got up very early. Yesterday, she and her old friends dug up quite a bit of wild herbs at the foot of the mountain not far from the town.
Granny Zhang got up early in the morning and chopped the meat Yu Xinyan and the others brought back into stuffing, mixed with the wild herbs into a bowl. Xinyan liked this the most.
Just as the stuffing was ready, Yu Xinyan walked out: "Granny, why didnât you call me?"
Granny Zhang smiled at her: "Thereâs no school to rush to, what should I wake you up for."
Yu Xinyan yawned: "To help you make breakfast."
Granny Zhang saw that she was still not fully awake: "Alright, the meal will take a while. Go back to your room and sleep a bit, Iâll call you when itâs ready."
Yu Xinyan didnât listen, jokingly said, "If the ladies visiting later see this, theyâd definitely call me a lazy girl."
After washing up, she sat opposite Granny Zhang: "Iâll help you wrap."
Just then, they heard someone knocking at the main gate, and Granny Zhang shouted out loudly, "The doorâs not locked, come in."
He Jinxuan pushed the door open and came in, "Granny Zhang, Xinyan."
Granny Zhang smiled and greeted him, "Come in quickly, have a seat for a moment. The waterâs boiling, weâll cook wontons for you both soon."
But when she saw what he was carrying, she said, "Why did you buy meat again?"
He Jinxuan said, "I saw people queuing over there while I was on my way. They said a cow from the production team fell into the ditch, and they slaughtered it fresh this morning, so I bought some."
Yu Xinyan got up and said with a smile, "This meat is quite fresh. Weâll stew beef for lunch, letâs lower it into the well first."
As she spoke, she pointed in the direction of the well, unceremoniously directing He Jinxuan to work.
Granny Zhang saw that He Jinxuan was not only not annoyed but seemed quite willing, and felt completely at ease. As long as he was good to this girl, that was fine.
Everything was joyous on this side, but on the other side in the hospital, it was not so good.
Han Jingchen woke up yesterday, and upon learning that he couldnât reach the Mechanical Factory as planned, he was in a bad mood.
The doctor said that itâs fortunate he was brought in for treatment in time, saving his life, and that he needs to rest well for a while, or his body wouldnât be able to handle it.
After barely enduring a night in the hospital, he sent Zhang Libing early this morning to gather some news.
Su Jingsong brought back breakfast, but Han Jingchen had no appetite at all, just kept staring at the door.
When Zhang Libing returned, Han Jingchen immediately perked up, "So how is it, is the road passable?"
Zhang Libing hastily recounted the situation over there, "The road likely wonât be clear until afternoon, given the significant landslide. It might not be passable until tomorrow afternoon at the earliest."
Upon hearing this, Su Jingsong quickly chimed in, "Itâs just the right time to get your health back, then the road will be ready, proving that good things do take time."
Han Jingchen thought about the dream he had earlier, feeling uneasy. He didnât know why he had such a dream, but the events in the dream felt very real. If he hadnât been rescued yesterday, what would the outcome have been?
In the dream, none of the four people in the car survived, which meant that all those who knew of Xinyanâs matters didnât live to tell.
This meant that no one had looked for Xinyan afterward, or else Wanqing would not have been the only one to appear before his gravestone in the dream.
The more he thought about it, the more troubled he felt. Could his precious daughter in her past life have never acknowledged her ancestry even until death?
Suddenly realizing something, he looked up at Su Jingsong and said, "Open the lunch box, I need to recover well. Yes, recovering well means my daughter will have support."
Even if he died, he wanted to find his daughter and hand her over to his wife completely unharmed, even if he could not be by her side. As long as the daughter was there, Wanqing wouldnât end up in such a final state.
Having figured everything out, he felt a lot better, "Send someone to watch over there, get the news over as soon as the roadâs open."
Then he remembered something and looked up at Zhang Libing, "Check on the person who saved us that day, Iâll personally go over to thank them."
Zhang Libing replied, "Yes, we should soon have results."
He already had a rough idea of the situation; it was indeed the people from the car facing them who sought rescue for them. Such a life-saving grace deserves a personal visit to express sincere gratitude.
