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

Just then, Song Anting's head popped out from behind Aunt Lu.

"Happy Bro!"

Her voice was sweet and soft, and because she had just cried, there were still tears on her eyelashes.

Song Anting was already quite beautiful, and her pitiful appearance made her even more stunning.

Li Kaixin looked at her, and his heart skipped a beat.

He took a deep breath to suppress the inexplicable flutter in his heart and greeted her with a smile, "An Ting, long time no see!"

"Brother Kaixin, thank you." Song Anting stepped out from behind her mother and bowed to him. "If it weren't for you, I really don't know what our family would have done."

Seeing this, Li Kaixin didn't know what to do.

He wanted to help her up but felt it wasn't appropriate, so his hand remained frozen in mid-air.

Lu Chunhua, who was standing nearby, naturally noticed his embarrassment and broke the awkward silence with a smile: "Kaixin, don't stand outside, let's go inside and talk!"

"Yes, yes! Kaixin, you..." Song Anting straightened up and grabbed Li Kaixin's outstretched hand.

But as soon as they touched, she quickly loosened her grip, and her face visibly turned red.

Li Kaixin was also embarrassed by her sudden action, and her voice even stuttered a little.

"Aunt Lu, then, then I'll go in and see Uncle Song. It just so happens that I know a little about medicine."

Upon seeing this, Lu Chunhua said nothing and turned to lead the way.

Song Anting didn't dare to look at Li Kaixin anymore, and just kept her head down, silently following behind her mother.

In the bedroom, the kerosene lamp by the bedside was already lit.

As soon as the three entered, Song Qiang, who was leaning against the headboard, quickly waved and said, "Kaixin's here! Come on, come sit down."

"Okay, Uncle Song!" Li Kaixin replied and quickly walked a few steps to the bedside.

After he sat down, Song Qiang continued, "Kaixin, about delivering the grain..."

"Stop, stop, Aunt Lu has already thanked you." Li Kaixin quickly interrupted, her eyes looking at his legs. "I came in to check on your legs."

Song Qiang was taken aback, but he still cooperated by moving the injured leg in front of him.

Without any hesitation, Li Kaixin carefully examined the splint and swelling on Song Qiang's leg, and then gently pressed several parts of his calf.

On the other side of the bedroom, Lu Chunhua and her daughter were busy pouring grain into the family's grain jar.

The reason for placing it in the bedroom instead of the kitchen is quite simple.

Food is so precious these days, it's not safe to keep it in the kitchen.

Just as the mother and daughter opened the second bag of grain, they were both stunned.

"Mother, this bag is full of fine grains." Song Anting's voice changed.

Lu Chunhua instinctively reached out and grabbed a handful, only realizing what was happening as the flour leaked through her fingers: "This, this..."

"Mother, did you specifically ask Kaixin for this to help Father recover?"

Lu Chunhua didn't respond to her daughter's words. She patted the flour off her hands and quickly walked towards Li Kaixin.

Just then, Li Kaixin had finished examining Song Qiang's legs and was about to say a few words.

Lu Chunhua had already approached, her voice urgent: "Kaixin, did you take the wrong grain? Why is half of it refined grain?"

"That's right!"

Li Kaixin turned around and said with a smile, "Aunt Lu, you didn't say whether you wanted coarse grains or refined grains, so I thought I'd just bring half of each."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chunhua was both amused and exasperated: "Kaixin, the grains we usually talk about are whole grains; refined grains are considered nutritional supplements."

Li Kaixin really didn't know that there was such a thing as grain.

"Aunt Lu, if you don't want this refined grain, I can go and exchange it for you now."

"I don't want to exchange it anymore. I just came to ask if you took the wrong one."

Lu Chunhua waved her hands repeatedly, a smile returning to her face: "Kaixin, you chat with your Uncle Song, I'll go make room for you in the sacks."

After saying that, without waiting for Li Kaixin's reply, he hurriedly walked away.

Watching his wife's retreating figure, Song Qiang smiled helplessly: "Kaixin, that's just how your Aunt Lu is, don't take it to heart!"

"No, no." Li Kaixin shook her head, then her tone became serious. "Uncle Song, let me tell you about your leg first."

"Your injury is quite serious this time. You have a minor fracture in your lower leg. The two months the doctor gave you is probably a conservative estimate."

The smile on Song Qiang's face slowly faded, and he asked tentatively.

"Kaixin, how long do you think it will take to recover?"

"If it's raised well, it will take at least three months; if not, it could take six months or even a year."

After listening, Song Qiang leaned against the headboard and remained silent for a long time.

He had witnessed Li Kaixin's medical skills the previous year and still believed what he said.

Seeing that Song Qiang's face had turned pale, Li Kaixin knew she couldn't continue the conversation.

"Uncle Song, don't worry too much. I still have a way to help you stand up within two months."

"Really?" Song Qiang suddenly looked up.

Li Kaixin nodded and took out a small medicine bottle from his pocket:

"Uncle Song, this is medicine for treating sprains and bruises. When we get back, I'll prescribe you a few more doses of oral medicine. With both internal and external use, you'll definitely be able to stand up within two months."

"Thank you, I'm happy."

Song Qiang took the medicine bottle, his hands trembling slightly. "How much does this medicine, and the oral medication you prescribed, cost? I'll have your Aunt Lu pay for it along with the money for the food later!"

"No need, Uncle Song!" Li Kaixin waved his hand with a smile, "I prepared the medicine myself, it's not worth much."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Chunhua came over with two neatly folded sacks and some money.

"Kaixin, this is the money for the food. Please keep it safe." She said, handing the money to Li Kaixin.

Li Kaixin didn't stand on ceremony this time and took it without hesitation.

Seeing that it was three black 10s, he was slightly taken aback; this price was much higher than the prices in the pigeon market and the black market.

Li Kaixin pulled out one card from the middle and then stuffed the rest back into Aunt Lu's hand: "Aunt Lu, you gave too much. One card is enough."

"How can that be!" Lu Chunhua immediately became anxious. "Kaixin, I know what the price of grain is outside right now. Yours is a mix of coarse and refined grains, three sheets will be just about right."

"Aunt Lu, I bought the grain through connections at the grain station, not at Pigeon Market."

Li Kaixin took a few steps back, keeping his distance from Aunt Lu: "If you give me too much, wouldn't that be considered speculation and profiteering?"

Then he turned to look at Song Qiang on the bed: "Uncle Song, I'll bring you the medicine tomorrow. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."

Lu Chunhua wanted to chase after him, but her husband grabbed her arm.
