Chapter 807: Chapter 807: Spending Ti with the Elderly
Well, as people were chatting away, more people started to gather.
They couldn’t co empty-handed, so everyone carried ho-grown produce, knowing Lin Feng was easy-going and wouldn’t mind.
The elders called Lin Feng by his nickna, while his peers and the younger generation called him "Director Lin."
An aunt went inside to cook, and people ca to help, making the small courtyard especially lively.
Lin Feng was like a doctor giving free consultations, conducting himself with a serious deanor.
No matter what he said, people nodded along attentively, like obedient little kindergarten kids.
An auntie ca over and whispered in Lin Feng’s ear.
"My father-in-law was told by the doctor to quit drinking, but he won’t listen and sneaks drinks behind our backs. Director Lin, please give him a good talking-to."
Lin Feng nodded while checking the pulse, "Got it, sis."
The aunt happily waited for the show to unfold.
Sure enough, after Lin Feng listed multiple issues with the old man’s health, his face turned slightly stern.
"Uncle, have you been secretly drinking?"
The uncle, whom Lin Feng addressed as such, was even older than Lin Feng’s father but still full of vitality.
In the whole village, few could match his energy.
The old man lived well, with filial children, and despite his age, he could take care of himself and even have a drink. Not bad, not bad.
Upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, the old man denied three tis over.
His daughter-in-law chuckled, "Dad, why don’t you admit it?"
"Director Lin can tell everything just by checking your pulse!"
Lin Feng genuinely ant it; the old man should really not drink, as it could be life-threatening.
Under Lin Feng’s stern advice, the old man hung his head like a defeated quail.
"It’s my turn, it’s my turn, move over and let
sit!"
A white-haired old woman with only a few teeth left shouted, pushing the discouraged old man off the stool.
That made Lin Feng chuckle.
As people age, their bodily functions decline and may develop ailnts from eating too much grain.
Lin Feng prescribed them dicine, "Don’t let the pharmacy boil it; bring it ho and do it yourself."
An older sister nodded, "Yes, yes, yes, you have to boil it yourself; otherwise it won’t be effective. I’ve experienced it firsthand."
After lunch, Lin Feng checked outside.
Oh wow, there were still a lot of people waiting.
He had been busy the whole day until nine in the evening, when the Lin Family’s two elders went to bed, and he finally had his dinner.
Think that’s the end?
Soone ca right on ti!
Lin Feng could tell from his reluctant expression that he was very curious about this matter!
When it cos to n’s difficult-to-talk-about topics, it usually involves a few scenarios.
After finishing his fruit and prescribing the dicine, Lin Feng looked at the ti, and it was almost eleven o’clock.
Seniors sleep lightly at night, and Lin Dashan felt he had only just gone to bed before his son was still up.
"Go to bed quickly, don’t kick off the blanket at night, it’ll be easy to catch cold."
After using the restroom, Lin Dashan slowly returned to his room.
The detached country house was built considering all the children, but over the years, they hadn’t all gathered.
Lin Feng stayed there for three days, and Zhang Yuxi told him to spend quality ti with the elders.
Xiao Bao called to say she’d succeeded in her audition and would spend the next few days playing here locally.
The elderly couple overheard and wanted to video chat with their granddaughter, each separately chatting away.
Xiao Bao grinned, and the elderly couple praised her with rainbows endlessly.
"Xiao Bao is getting prettier; our girl is prettier than others."
"Eat well there, don’t worry about spending money, your dad has money!"
"Be mindful when eating soft foods, watch for cars when going out, and wait for the light at the crosswalk!"
"Once you’re done, co visit Grandpa and Grandma, we’ll be waiting for you."
Xiao Bao laughed and responded likewise.
"Grandpa and Grandma, take care of your health, don’t go out on rainy days, be careful not to slip."
"If there’s anything you’d like to eat, tell Auntie to cook it for you, Dad’s cooking is good too, let him cook too."
"Don’t worry, I’ll take care of myself; don’t be fooled by my cuteness, I’m tough when fighting."
"I’ll co over and stay for a few days after I’m done here."
After hanging up, upon hearing that their granddaughter would co, the elderly couple hastily asked Auntie to prepare a room.
"Your dad said once the Fourth Treasure’s child is born, we’ll take a look, and it’s about ti."
"Nonsense, aren’t you waiting for the other kids? Besides, Xiao Bao isn’t married yet, don’t you want to see her get married?"
"That’s what I told your dad, he doesn’t ntion it anymore, but he secretly looked at the burial site."
Zhou Cuilan ntioned it lightly, yet you could hear her sadness.
For people like them, already half buried, after much psychological preparation, they don’t linger on life and death anymore.
Lin Feng comforted Zhou Cuilan, "Mom, you and Dad are strong, it’s too early for such talk."
Zhou Cuilan just smiled and turned her attention to the day’s consultations, ears pricked with gossip.
"Mom, it’s soone’s privacy, let’s not pry."
"Ha, I can pretty much guess it without you telling . A little inquiry and I’ll know all about him."
"Then stop asking."
"It’s fine, tell
a little; I won’t tell anyone."
"You said you’d find out when you asked around, didn’t you?"
"Oh, the gossip outside isn’t as accurate as what you know, just tell Mom, what’s up with him?"
Lin Feng was at ho, and Auntie had taken two days off to handle so things.
He stayed for a week until Xiao Bao ca back.
The elderly couple knew their granddaughter was returning today, so they sat outside waiting.
Lin Feng tried to dissuade them, but they wouldn’t listen, so he let them be.
From seven in the morning to nine, they waited until that familiar sight appeared, making them utterly delighted.
Lin Feng was inside, busying himself with cooking, the kitchen bustling with activity.
When building this house, they listened to the elderly couple’s advice and built a stove, claiming it saves gas and makes the food taste better.
The new aunt didn’t know how to use it initially but gradually learned to master the heat precisely.
"Is the food ready? Xiao Bao’s hungry."
Lin Feng replied while serving dishes, "It’s ready, have her co help."
Lin Dashan loudly responded back, "Xiao Bao just got ho and is tired, you finish it yourself."
Lin Feng pursed his lips, muttering, "Fine, fine, I’ll do it myself."
Once done, Lin Feng hadn’t even taken off his apron when he saw the elderly couple and a few other seniors surrounding Xiao Bao warmly, all smiles, kind and loving.
"Uh, the food..."
Lin Feng was about to speak but was politely pushed aside by Zhou Cuilan’s auntie.
Lin Feng, "????"
Zhou Cuilan didn’t give him a second look, smiling broadly at her precious granddaughter.
"Xiao Bao, weren’t you on the seven o’clock flight? How co you arrived just now?"
Lin Feng, "Mom, I told you, Xiao Bao departed over there at seven, not arriving here."
Zhou Cuilan seed not to hear, still smiling as she placed food in front of Xiao Bao.
"Here, these are all your favorites, there’s fruit too..."
Lin Dashan sat to the side, "Give Xiao Bao more at, she looks thin and darker recently."
Zhou Cuilan quickly picked up a piece of beef, "Co on, Xiao Bao, eat up!"
