79: Chapter 77: Can I Cure It, Do You Believe ?
Rong Yan wanted to try the hot dishes at the state-run restaurant, so she didn’t want to leave just because of that person and that incident.
She was thinking about entering the restaurant first.
Just as that thought crossed her mind, she saw the woman quickly returning with the little girl who had been there that day.
“I’m glad you didn’t leave.” Sun i ran over, sowhat out of breath.
The little girl also ran up, looking up at Rong Yan with eyes full of bright light.
That look…it softened Rong Yan’s heart.
She realized that ever since she had co to this era, she had beco more emotional.
Look at her now, she couldn’t bring herself to be hard-hearted towards this little girl in front of her.
“Comrade, this is Brown Sugar, you must take it.” Sun i wanted to give more, but reality did not allow it.
“No need, I don’t lack this, just use it to nourish the child’s body.
By the way, are you living around here now?”
Before, she rembered that the house wasn’t around here.
Sun i quickly nodded, “Yes, after I got divorced, the Won’s Federation and the street office saw that my daughter and I had nowhere to go, so they rented us a house here cheaply, which is close to where I work.”
As she spoke, the conversation ca back to the brown sugar in her hand.
“Comrade, you really must take this, without you, there would be no today for us.
If you won’t take it, I’ll keep worrying about it…”
Rong Yan looked at her, “I didn’t save you just for this packet of sugar, it just happened to be…
Let it be, I am going to eat now.”
Sun i: …
She could only watch helplessly as her life-saving benefactor entered the state-run restaurant.
Although poor children mature early and are sensible, even a five-year-old girl had her own determinations at this mont.
Tugging at her mother’s clothes, her eyes were fixed on the state-run restaurant, the longing in her gaze ant sothing that Sun i naturally understood.
She felt conflicted, “…Xiu’er, let’s wait here for a bit.”
Not to ntion that they had already eaten, the state-run restaurant was not a place they could afford to enter.
What were they going to do inside while their savior was eating?
Just stand around?
The little girl nodded.
But she was still gazing longingly at the restaurant…
After entering, Rong Yan ordered pork with pickled vegetables, a fish, a stir-fried cabbage, and of course, a bowl of white rice.
The restaurant waiter raised his eyebrows seeing her order so much alone, his attitude was not particularly good:
“Can you finish all this alone?
We eliminate waste.”
Rong Yan looked at him, casually replying, “In this world of scarcity, how could there be waste?
Is it wrong to have a big appetite naturally?
Besides, even if I don’t finish, can’t I take the leftovers ho?”
At so point, she pulled out a large aluminum food container from her green shoulder bag and placed it on the table.
The server had nothing to say after that.
But his expression was not pleasant, “That will be two yuan and ten cents, plus two food coupons.”
This woman is so wasteful, whoever marries her is unlucky.
Rong Yan simply ordered more, “Wait, get twenty at buns, ten white buns, and also, I see you have braised pig’s feet, bring one of those.”
Waiter: …?
Are you a pig?
A woman who can spend money like this, really, whoever marries her is unlucky.
“I want all these packed.” Her cooking skills were average at best, and Qin i’s even more so.
She felt that these kinds of at dishes would taste better made by the restaurant’s chef.
She thought about taking them ho for them to try as well.
Waiter: …
“Okay, but do you have that many lunchboxes?”
“I do.” Rong Yan then took another one out from her shoulder bag.
Waiter: …?
After calculating the money, Rong Yan paid the expressionless waiter.
When her own dishes were served, Rong Yan did not touch the fish; she placed it into another lunchbox, then scooped half of the pork belly with preserved mustard greens.
Although it seed she put it into her shoulder bag upon leaving, she actually placed it directly into space.
Rong Yan stepped out of the state-run restaurant and saw the mother and daughter still standing by her bicycle.
She really didn’t know what to say; she had thought that after her words earlier, the mother and daughter would have left.
“Why haven’t you left yet?”
“Benefactor, this is Brown Sugar, please accept it.”
Rong Yan: …
How persistent could they be?
After thinking it over, she took five at buns out of the shoulder bag, and also grabbed a handful of milk candies, “Well then, take these, and I will accept your Brown Sugar.”
It wasn’t that she was unwilling to accept it, but it was apparent that the mother and daughter were not living well.
Upon seeing this, Sun i quickly shook her head, “No, no, no, I cannot accept this…”
“If you don’t want it, then forget it, I cannot accept your Brown Sugar either.” Rong Yan’s wooden expression had a strong presence.
Sun i: …
Now she was baffled; the things she was offered were obviously more valuable than the Brown Sugar she had given.
“By the way, is your daughter mute?
But she can hear?”
The little girl looked up at her with pitiful eyes; it was quite heart-wrenching.
“Yes,” Sun i nodded quickly, her face turning somber, “She was feverish the night she was born, and my forr mother-in-law, seeing she was a girl, refused to spend money for treatnt…
Later, the doctors said her vocal cords might be damaged, but my Xiu’er can hear sounds.”
Rong Yan looked at the little girl, five years old, indeed thin and small.
After a mont, she handed over the items, “Take these.”
Then she took the package of Brown Sugar from her hand,
“I’ll take the sugar too.
If you want your daughter’s muteness to be cured, then prepare twenty yuan for the consultation fee.
After the New Year, I will co and treat her.”
Originally, she wanted to quote ten yuan, but just showing sympathy was not enough.
She needed to see what this mother was willing to do for her own daughter.
Hearing this, Sun i was completely shocked, “Comrade, are you saying…
you can cure my Xiu’er?
You can enable her to speak?”
“I cannot guarantee it completely but can try.
Of course, if it doesn’t work out, I will also charge you ten yuan, so think it over and then…” Rong Yan thought of a ti, “be here at this ti on the second day of the New Year.
I won’t wait past the ti.”
The aning was clear, twenty yuan if cured, ten yuan even if not.
If she thought it was a scam…
the next few days were there to ponder it.
Of course, there was another reason; Rong Yan did not yet have the dicine in hand and needed to find the corresponding dicinal herbs to plant in space to be sure.
Otherwise, a skilled cook couldn’t perform without rice.
Sun i was ecstatic, “I will definitely be here waiting for the benefactor.”
She dread of having her daughter speak like a normal person…
Rong Yan gave a faint smile, then rode away on her bicycle.
Watching her departing figure, Sun i really wanted to kneel down to express her gratitude!
Twenty yuan…
she still had ten yuan, and with so borrowing, she could gather the rest.
