The sky collapsed, and in the blink of an eye, I found myself transported to Nanluoguxiang.

Shortly after Li Kaixin and his family left the courtyard, people in courtyard number 94 gradually got up.

In the backyard, Aunt Qian knocked on the door of Aunt Ye's house alone.

"Who is it! So early in the morning." Aunt Ye rubbed her eyes and opened the door, looking like she hadn't woken up yet.

She didn't sleep well at all last night, and only managed to doze off for a while as dawn approached.

As soon as the door opened, Aunt Qian immediately rubbed her hands together and came over with a big smile, asking, "Sister Ye, how did it go yesterday? Did that kid Li Kaixin agree?"

When Aunt Ye saw that it was Aunt Qian, she was instantly wide awake.

She frowned, her face darkened, and her voice crackled with anger:

"Aunt Qian, how dare you ask such a question?"

"Weren't you quite capable yesterday? You secretly gathered everyone in the yard to discuss how to make them happy enough to hand over their things. Why are you acting like nothing happened now?"

"Sister Ye, you're wronging me."

Aunt Qian's smile remained unchanged. "I'm just thinking of everyone in the yard, aren't I? Young Li brought back so much stuff, what's wrong with sharing some?"

Aunt Ye was stunned by such shameless words, then spat out, "Have you no shame? Do you even believe what you're saying? Don't drag the people in the yard into this. Do you think I don't know what you're up to?"

Feeling embarrassed by being exposed like that, Aunt Qian simply asked directly, "Sister Ye, just tell me, did that boy agree or not?"

"So what if I agree, so what if I don't?" Aunt Ye laughed in exasperation. "Anyway, I can assure you that it's definitely not your concern anymore."

Aunt Qian's face stiffened for a moment, then she tentatively asked, "So, young Li didn't agree to your proposal?"

"I don't know, and I don't want to get involved." Aunt Ye was too lazy to waste any more words with her, and took a step back. "Get as far away from me as possible, and don't ask me about this."

After saying that, the door slammed shut with a loud "bang".

Aunt Qian stood outside the door, her face flushing red and then turning pale. She muttered something under her breath before turning away dejectedly.

......

On the other side, after more than two hours of cycling, Li Kaixin and his family of five finally arrived at Lijia Village.

As soon as he rode his bike into the village, Li Yong, who was on duty at the village entrance, spotted him immediately.

He immediately dropped what he was doing and ran towards the village.

He was so fast that Li Kaixin and the others didn't even have time to greet him.

What's even stranger is that on the way to their grandparents' house, whenever they encountered someone from Lijia Village, they would run away as soon as they saw them from afar.

This left Li Kaixin and his family completely baffled, without even a chance to ask them a question.

I rode to the gate of my grandparents' house.

Li Kai, the younger brother, immediately jumped out of the car and excitedly shouted inside, "Grandpa, Grandma, your beloved grandson is back!"

Inside the room, Grandma, who was lying on the bed, suddenly jolted awake, her voice weak: "Old man, I think I heard Xiao Kai's voice, did you hear it?"

"I heard it, it's definitely his voice!" Grandpa said, putting on his shoes and walking outside.

Outside, Li Kai, the younger brother, called several times without getting a response, and turned to his older brother, muttering, "Big brother, have Grandpa and Grandma gone out?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the door to the main room creaked open.

"Oh my! You're all back!" Grandpa saw Li Kaixin's family and quickly walked out of the house.

Seeing this, Li Kaixin immediately smiled and went to greet him, "Sir, please slow down, don't fall!"

"You won't fall, you won't fall!"

Grandpa chuckled and grabbed Li Kaixin, looking her up and down. "Kaixin, you look much stronger than I have in the past two weeks."

"Grandpa, I went to Inner Mongolia and ate a lot of meat there!" Li Kaixin replied, glancing around. "Where's Grandma? I can't see her."

Grandpa's smile faded, and he sighed, "Kaixin, your grandma hasn't been feeling well these past few days and is still in bed."

"What?!"

Li Kaixin's expression changed, and she turned to her younger brother and called out, "Xiao Kai, come and help Grandpa, I'm going in to see Grandma."

Before he could finish speaking, he took off running into the house.

Father Li Mingde and mother Qin Xiuli exchanged a glance, and without even unloading the things from their bicycles, followed their son into the house.

Inside the house, someone could be heard coming in.

Grandma slightly opened her eyes, saw it was her eldest grandson, and gave a weak smile: "Kaixin's back. Come here and let Grandma see if you've gained weight recently?"

"Grandma, please don't speak yet, let me take a look at you first." Li Kaixin quickly sat down by the bed and reached out to take her grandmother's pulse.

Father Li Mingde and mother Qin Xiuli stood behind, not daring to breathe.

Li Kaixin took the pulse for a while, and his expression became more serious.

"Kaixin, how's your grandma?" Grandpa asked as Li Kai helped him in.

Li Kaixin released her grip, turned to look at her grandfather, and asked seriously, "Grandpa, how long has Grandma been sick?"

"It's been ten days!" Grandpa frowned, looking worried. "I saw a doctor who said it was a cold and prescribed some medicine, but I haven't gotten better even after taking it."

"No wonder!" Li Kaixin said thoughtfully, then continued to ask, "Grandpa, did Grandma experience any major emotional fluctuations the day she fell ill?"

"No, not at all!" Grandpa answered instinctively, then thought for a moment, "Oh right, we just learned from Xiao Cheng that you were in the newspaper, Kaixin!"

Upon hearing this, Li Kaixin immediately realized that her grandmother's illness was related to her.

Li Mingde, the father standing nearby, couldn't help but speak up: "Kaixin, just tell me, is there any cure for your grandma's illness?"

The room fell silent immediately after he said that.

All eyes turned to Li Kaixin, awaiting his answer.

"It can be cured!" Li Kaixin nodded, then added, "However, Grandma has been dragging this out for too long, and her body is severely depleted. She needs to recuperate slowly."

"It's good that it can be cured, it's good that it can be cured!" Grandpa said repeatedly, his expression relaxing considerably.

Relieved, father Li Mingde urged, "Kaixin, then hurry up and get her treated!"

"Okay! You guys go outside and wait first," Li Kaixin replied.

After everyone had left, he took out silver needles from his pocket, carefully disinfected them with alcohol, and began to administer the acupuncture.
