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

My third grandfather's house.

Li Yong rushed to the gate, not even bothering to catch his breath, and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Grandpa! Kaixin's back!"

In the courtyard, Third Grandfather was sitting on a stool smoking a pipe. Hearing this sound, he almost dropped his pipe.

"Who's back?" Li Cheng peeked out from the inner room, his tone tinged with uncertainty.

"Dad! Kaixin is back! I saw her with my own eyes!"

Li Yong repeated himself, then gestured animatedly, "Kaixin rode her bike with Xiaokai and Xiaoxiao as a passenger, and even Uncle Mingde and Aunt Xiuli came back together!"

"It's good that everyone's back!" Third Grandfather reacted at this moment, put his pipe aside, stood up, and said, "Come on, come on, quickly call everyone in the village over, and we'll start preparing the banquet now. We'll open the ancestral hall this afternoon."

As soon as he finished speaking, several more people from Lijia Village came running towards them from a distance. They were all the people who had just met Li Kaixin and his family in the village.

Before they even arrived, Li Qiang's voice rang out: "Clan Chief! Clan Chief! We just saw Kaixin and Mingde return!"

When the group got closer, they discovered that Li Yong, who was supposed to be on duty at the village entrance, had already run back ahead of them.

"Qiangzi, you've come at the right time." Third Grandfather said with a smile, "I already know about this. Take these men with you and go call everyone in the village. We'll meet at the village canteen later."

"Alright, clan leader." Li Qiang replied, and then left in a hurry with a few people around him.

Then, the third grandfather turned to his son and grandson: "Xiaoyong, you and your father go help. I'll go check on your great-grandfather first."

After giving the instructions, he immediately started walking towards the direction of Li Kaixin's grandfather's house.

Inside the room, Li Kaixin was intently administering acupuncture to her grandmother.

As the silver needles fell one by one, Grandma's tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and her breathing became much more even.

Then Li Kaixin took out a medicine bottle from the secret space and fed her grandmother a pill.

Outside, Grandpa, Father Li Mingde, and Mother Qin Xiuli stood in the yard, none of them speaking, only occasionally glancing into the house.

Li Kai, the younger brother, and Li Xiaoxiao, the younger sister, also quieted down and stood obediently to the side.

About half an hour later, the door opened, and Li Kaixin walked out looking relaxed.

"Kaixin, how's your grandma?" Father Li Mingde was the first to greet her.

Immediately afterwards, his grandfather and mother, Qin Xiuli, also came over, looking at him with worried expressions.

Seeing everyone's gaze, Li Kaixin smiled and reassured them, "Grandma is much better now and is asleep."

"That's good, that's good." Grandpa nodded repeatedly, his eyes a little red.

"Grandpa, don't worry too much." Li Kaixin stepped forward to support her grandfather. "Grandma was just overjoyed this time, and then she caught a bit of a cold, which made it last a little longer. Just be more careful in the future, it'll be fine."

"Okay, okay!" Grandpa replied, then remembered something, "Oh right, Kaixin, your third grandpa is here today..."

Before he could finish speaking, his third grandfather's voice came from outside the courtyard: "Mingde, Kaixin, you're back?"

Li Mingde turned his head and saw the person who had come, and hurriedly went to greet him: "Third Uncle, what brings you here?"

"How could I not come?" Third Grandfather said with a smile as he walked inside. "Our great celebrity is back, how could I, as an elder, not come?"

As she spoke, her gaze swept over her elder brother, and her smile faded slightly: "Brother, what's wrong? Is your wife still not fully recovered?"

"Third brother, don't worry. Your sister-in-law was just cured by Kaixin and is asleep now," Grandpa said, forcing a smile. "I'm just happy!"

The third grandfather stared at his eldest brother for a moment, then said seriously, "Eldest brother, why didn't you tell me that your wife hadn't gotten better for so long?"

"Third son, you're so busy every day, your sister-in-law doesn't want to trouble you." Grandpa relaxed a lot. "Besides, isn't it all better now?"

Third Grandfather sighed and said nothing more.

He turned to Li Kaixin, his eyes filled with admiration: "Kaixin, I didn't expect you to be such a skilled doctor."

"Third Grandfather, you flatter me," Li Kaixin said modestly, then changed the subject, "Did you come here about the banquet?"

Third Grandfather smiled and nodded.

"Also, I've come to discuss with you the possibility of opening the ancestral hall this afternoon and including the happy news we reported in the family genealogy!"

"Add it to the family genealogy?" Father Li Mingde asked in surprise. "Third Uncle, isn't this a bit too much?"

"What's so grand about it!" Third Grandfather's tone became solemn:

"I'm so happy to be in the newspaper this time. I asked the commune leaders, and it's a national event! If this were ancient times, only the top scholars in the imperial examinations would get this kind of treatment, right?"

He paused, a hint of pride in his voice, "Now, everyone in the surrounding villages envies our village! These past few days, many girls from other villages have been asking around, wanting to marry into our village!"

Just then, another set of footsteps came from outside the courtyard.

Everyone in the courtyard turned their heads and saw Li Qiang, Li Yong, and a group of young people leading a large group of them walking towards them.

"Chief! Almost everyone has been notified!" Li Qiang jogged over, his face showing excitement.

Third Grandfather looked at the large group of people behind him and asked with some surprise, "Qiangzi, didn't I tell you to wait in the cafeteria? Why did you all come here?"

Li Qiang scratched his head and chuckled twice: "Clan leader, it's not that I wanted to bring them. They just insisted on coming along to see us as soon as they heard Kaixin was back, and I couldn't stop them."

At this moment, everyone looked eagerly into the courtyard and chimed in with their own comments:

"Chieftain, we just want to see our village's famous figure first!"

"Yes, yes, it's in the newspaper, shouldn't we see it for ourselves?"

"Brother Kaixin, you've really made our Li Family Village proud!"

Seeing this, Third Grandfather smiled helplessly and waved his hand: "Alright, alright, come in. But keep your voices down, your First Grandmother just fell asleep."

Upon hearing this, the group of young people immediately slowed their pace and entered the courtyard one by one.

Before long, Li Kaixin was surrounded by people.

Familiar faces crowded around, bombarding him with all sorts of questions.

Although everyone kept their voices down, the courtyard still became lively with so many people.

Li Kaixin smiled and raised her hand to press down: "Everyone, please be quiet for a moment. How about we go to the cafeteria to talk? My grandma just fell asleep, so let's not disturb her."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately fell silent.

Realizing they had indeed been a bit noisy, they all awkwardly shut up, looking somewhat embarrassed.

Li Kaixin turned to look at her grandfather and parents: "Grandpa, Dad, Mom, I'll go to the cafeteria first."

"Go on, go on!" Grandpa waved with a smile.

His parents also gave him a look, signaling him to go ahead.
