Good Fortune Arrives at the Door of a Rural Doctor's Daughter

  At night, lying on the kang, Fu Qiu Lian was still a bit worried. "Master, why don't I talk to my brother tomorrow and let Tian Er and her mother come back?" Although she also wanted to get rid of the mother-daughter pair once and for all, the current situation clearly wouldn't allow it.

  She used to be a doctor and knew that some illnesses required strong medicine, surgery, and a straightforward approach. However, she also understood that some illnesses needed to be treated gradually and with patience.

  The medicine is too strong, the dosage is too high, and it's too much.

  It's deadly.

  "This matter can wait a bit longer, the person will definitely be released, and it must be you and your uncle who go to talk about it, but now is not the time." Lian Qing was reading "Three Character Classic" as part of his daily reading routine at Fow Autumn Lotus's request. He had just read the first sentence when he heard Fow Autumn Lotus's words, and his tone slightly paused before shaking his head and saying, "Just wait for another two days or so, until Big Brother comes back or Father can't sit still anymore, then you can agree."

  "Ah, Lian Qing's meaning is to let Lian Lao take responsibility for this matter? Her heart warmed slightly, she reached out and grasped Lian Qing's hand. 'Husband, I don't mind these things, as long as you're well, treat me and the children well, our family lives a good life, I'm really very satisfied.'"

  "I know." Lian Qing smiled and nodded, seeing Fu Qiulian reach for the water cup on one side, he quickly handed it over. After she drank half a cup, he took it back and put it on the table, supporting her to lean comfortably on the couch, propping up a large soft pillow behind her, before continuing to read the Three Character Classic in his hand.

  The nature of man at birth is good. By nature men are nearly alike; by practice they get to be wide apart.

  The gentle and soft voice, intentionally lowered by the master, seemed to be the most effective lullaby in the world. Before long, Fu Qiulian slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.

  Lian Qing smiled and helped Fu Qiulian tuck in the bed corners, then turned to trim the wick of the oil lamp on one side. The room suddenly darkened, he lowered his head, scanning the book with his eyes, thinking of Fu Qiulian's words - Husband, when reading at night, the light must be very bright, otherwise it will hurt your eyes.

  Now, this view should be dark, right?

  He casually threw aside the book in his hand, and with a gentle tone, softly recited the Three Character Classic. Occasionally, he would lift his head to glance at the face on the bed, which had become even more tender due to deep sleep than it was during the day.

  This is his wife and their unborn child.

  Slowly, Lian Qing's eyes and eyebrows were tinged with a hint of pity as he recited the Three Character Classic, and the warmth in his eyes was something he himself had never noticed!

  Lian Jia

  Lao Lao sat at the gate, with a gaze that seemed to pierce through the air, staring outside from noon till late afternoon, when the sun was about to set, and finally saw the couple he had been waiting for all afternoon.

  "Dad, why are you sitting here?" Lian Wu and his wife were carrying big and small bags, smiling with joy, when they suddenly bumped into Lian's father. He let out a soft hum, "You're back, how come you've been gone for so long?" His eyes glanced backward, not seeing the person he was looking for, and his face fell, "Where is your third brother? Hasn't he returned?"

  "Third brother said there's still something, and he'll be back in a few days." Lian Er Sao chuckled and winked at Lian Wu repeatedly, but her heart was anxious. She had to quickly take these things into the house, or else if the main room saw them, it wouldn't be good.

  These pastries are delicious, she can't bear to share them!

  "Didn't you tell him that I'm ill, feeling weak and asked him to come back and see me?" Lian's father's face turned iron-gray, with a surge of something in his eyes that was hard to tell whether it was anger or indignation. He glared at Lian Wu and her husband, "Useless things, you two go back again, if you don't bring Old Three back for me, then neither of you come back home!"

  Digression

  Make up for the word count tomorrow. Something came up today, gotta run...
