There is a mountain in her arms

"Second brother, second sister-in-law, why are you all here? Who will take my sister-in-law back later?"

Jiang Yichen and the others had agreed to meet up with their second uncle in town, but unexpectedly their second uncle's wife was also there.

"Aunt, I'll go with you. Xiaochao said you pay, so we should contribute. Mom needs someone to take care of her at all times when she goes to the hospital, and you have children to take care of. Your second brother is a grown man and clumsy, and he can't take care of her as well as we women can."

Grandma Jiang was deeply moved by the words of her second aunt Liu.

"Second sister-in-law, it is my second brother's greatest blessing to marry you."

"That's right! Before we had a few children, whenever there was something delicious at home, your second sister-in-law would save it for me and would not eat it herself."

"Okay, stop showing off, let's go get the bus, we can still get there before noon."

Grandma Jiang spat at her second brother, then helped her mother and left.

When the family arrived at their home in the city in a grand procession, my second uncle and his wife were stunned.

"Little sister, is this your yard?"

"You've already come in, so how can it be fake?"

"I didn't expect your yard in the city was so nice, I thought..."

My second uncle scratched his head and didn't say anything else.

"It was Wei Ming's comrade who helped find this. It's all thanks to him."

"Ahem! Aunt, your yard looks better than the house in our hometown. You can even grow vegetables there, which is great."

My second aunt’s grandmother was afraid that her aunt would be sad thinking about her son, so she quickly changed the subject.

"Yes! Second sister-in-law, you and mother can live in Chengcheng and Anan's room. I'll ask them to move upstairs. It will be more convenient for you to travel."

"Okay, you arrange it and I'll help."

Jiang Yicheng and An An were forced to move again, and they smiled at each other.

"Sister, how about we live upstairs from now on? It will be quiet and we don't have to move up and down."

An An whispered in her ear that he was the most miserable one, as he was the one who had to give up his seat every time.

"Yeah, I think so too."

The two of them high-fived, made a tacit decision, and then put all their things upstairs.

Grandma Jiang was busy helping my mother make the bed. My second uncle's grandmother saw it, but she just thought it was their important personal belongings and didn't care.

Jiang Yichen took out a large package from the space. It was sent by Chi Yuan's mother to them.

They were all clothes, nutritional supplements, and books. She had already divided out An An's share, and when she came this time, An An asked her to help bring it over.

"Well, your things. You don't need these books now, do you? Don't lose them!"

An An took it like a treasure and put the book in the drawer of her bedside table.

"Don't worry, I'll be able to understand it soon. I can't be much worse than you."

Jiang Yichen laughed. She believed that An An was a real genius because of her intelligence and the double blessing from her previous life.

As far as she knew, An An was now self-studying the fourth-grade textbook, and sometimes Jiang Yichen would teach him the basics of English.

"You have to take it step by step. You are still young."

"understood!"

"Sister, the day after tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, let's go out for a walk!"

"Okay! We can also call Grandpa and the others then."

After returning to my hometown for a month, there was still some dust in the house. Grandma Jiang spent the whole afternoon cleaning and scrubbing. My second uncle's grandmother also helped, and the two of them talked and laughed.

"Aunt, I didn't expect that you guys were living well in the city. Every time you sent something home, your second brother would get worried. Now that he knows that you guys are living well, he can sleep peacefully."

"My second brother just likes to worry. I have hands and feet, how bad can my life be?"

"Hahahaha! Aunt, I always say that your second brother should be born a girl. Sometimes he is even more attentive than me."

"That's right. Since we were three siblings, my second brother always took me out to play and found delicious food for me."

"Your second brother is indeed very responsible. He has nothing to say about me."

As she was talking, her face turned red as she thought of something. When Grandma Jiang heard that there was no sound, she looked up and saw the blush on her second sister-in-law's face, and she smiled secretly.

In the evening, the two sisters-in-law prepared a simple table of dishes, and after everyone finished eating, they planned to go to the hospital for medical treatment the next day.

The next day, Grandpa Jiang rented a tricycle, and the old lady and the second uncle and his wife rode on the tricycle. Grandpa Jiang rode a bicycle with his wife, and Jiang Yicheng took An An, and they set off to the hospital together.

Even during the Chinese New Year, there were still many people in the hospital. Grandpa Jiang asked a nurse about it and then took them to the doctor on duty.

There were only a few doctors on duty in the hospital during the New Year, and they chose an older doctor.

"Doctor, this is the medical examination report that my mother did before, please take a look!"

Grandpa Jiang knocked on the door and went in, handing a pile of examination reports to the doctor.

"The report shows that this is the early symptom of Alzheimer's disease. Did you bring the patient with you?"

"Here it comes. Brother, the doctor wants to see mom."

The old lady was a little scared when she entered the hospital. She curled up in her son's arms and dared not look up.

"Mom, let's go in and see the doctor. Don't be afraid, we'll be with you."

My second uncle coaxed my mother patiently, and Grandma Jiang, with red eyes, also followed suit.

It was difficult to coax the old lady in and sit down. The old doctor seemed to have some experience with this kind of patients.

"Old man, how about we play a game?"

The old doctor talked to distract her while he gave her a basic examination.

"The old man is in good health at the moment. Is he forgetful now?"

"Yeah! I just said it recently, and I forgot it in a blink of an eye."

"That may be developing faster than I expected. She is almost in the middle stage now. Well, I think the old lady is a bit nervous, you can take her out for a walk."

The old doctor gave Grandpa Jiang a wink, and he immediately understood.

"Brother and sister-in-law, take mom out for a walk. Cheng Cheng and An An, you can follow along. We will stay here and talk to the doctor."

"Ah? Eh!"

My second uncle also understood, and he and his wife helped my mother out.

"Doctor, is there any cure for my mother's illness? Please, save her!"

Watching them go out, Grandpa Jiang immediately closed the door, and Grandma Jiang looked at him anxiously.

"Don't get excited, don't get excited!"

The old doctor raised his hands and pressed them down, looking calm and composed.

"My dear, my dear, please let the doctor speak. Doctor, you speak, and we are listening!"

Grandpa Jiang hugged her and patted her back soothingly.

"Unfortunately, our country is still helpless against this disease. However, research has shown that drugs can be used to relieve symptoms, but this is only a temporary solution and does not cure the disease. It only delays the disease."

"Is there no other way?"

"I'm sorry! Our country lags far behind others in the fight against diseases. And the palliative medicine I just told you about is not cheap, so we usually don't mention it on our own initiative."

After the old doctor finished speaking, he sighed, fell silent, and stopped talking.

Grandma Jiang was a little disappointed, and Grandpa Jiang thought about it and asked the old doctor.

"How long can she live if she keeps taking medication?"

"I can't answer this for sure. If the child is well taken care of, it should be eight to ten years. Maybe a miracle will happen in the future."

"My dear, let's just use medication. Mom is already over 80 years old. If she can live another 10 years, she will be a very old lady."

"But this will probably cost a lot of money, and I can't touch the child's money."

"It's okay. I'm here for you! We can save money on medicine if we work harder next time."

"Woohoo, thank you, thank you!"

"We are husband and wife. Doctor, please prescribe medicine for us!"

"it is good!"

The old doctor looked at Grandpa Jiang with admiration. He had thought she was his biological mother, but unexpectedly it was his mother-in-law.

When the old couple came out with the medicine, they were sitting by the flower bed waiting for them, each holding a string of candied haws in their hands.

My second uncle and his wife blushed and didn't know what to say.

"Little sister, brother-in-law!"

"Grandpa and grandma wanted to eat candied haws, so I bought one for each of them. These two are yours."

Chengcheng and Anan gave them the extra string in their hands, and Grandpa Jiang took it with a smile.

"Then let's take advantage of mom's kindness. Mm, this candied haws tastes really sweet."

"Yes, it's really sweet. I've never tasted this thing before, but it's too expensive."

My second aunt's grandmother ate a hawthorn and looked distressed. How much sugar must be put in this!

"Second sister-in-law, if you like it, I'll buy you another one. How much does it cost? You've worked hard all your life and you can't even have something sweet!"

"Yes, wife, I'll give you this one, too."

The second uncle immediately showed his courtesy.

"Go, go, this stuff makes your teeth sore, don't eat too much. You should eat it yourself, I have only this one! Aunt, what does the doctor say?"

My second uncle’s grandmother also felt sorry for the man, and when she saw the medicine bag that Grandpa Jiang was carrying, she immediately asked.

"Yes, little sister, did the doctor say it can be cured?"

Grandma Jiang looked a little gloomy.

"Second brother and second sister-in-law, let's go back and talk about this!"

"it is good!"

After arriving home, my second aunt coaxed the old lady to play in the yard, and Chengcheng and Anan were there to keep them company.

"Tell me, what did the doctor say?"

As soon as my second uncle asked the question anxiously, Grandma Jiang started crying.

"Little sister, is this the worst possible outcome?"

Grandpa Jiang sighed and repeated what the doctor said.

"Second brother, don't worry, we will take care of the old lady's medicine."

Even though my second uncle had been prepared, he was frightened out of his wits. After a long while, he spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Brother-in-law, I appreciate your kindness, but it's not necessary. You still have two children at home! This is my mother's fate. She has never lived a peaceful life. I will take good care of her in the future."

"Brother, we still have some assets, don't worry!"

Grandpa Jiang was afraid that he wouldn't believe it, so he told him about buying ginseng to build the road.

"But we have to keep the ginseng sale a secret. Otherwise, if too many people come and get involved, we won't be able to live in peace."

"Really? I was wondering why you were repairing the road at the entrance of your village during the New Year? I see!"

"Yeah! It was also lucky that Chengcheng was able to pick the ginseng. We probably won't develop here in the future, so this can be considered a contribution to the village."

"You guys are really willing to spend so much money!"

My second aunt’s grandmother murmured to herself that she felt her sister-in-law and her family were too stupid.

"So, second brother, it's settled. We will always be responsible for mother's medicine. Let mother stay here during this period, and Chunniang will take care of her."

"No, no, we have to take care of our mother. How can we let our daughter take care of her when our son is still alive? I'm afraid the spit from the villagers will drown us."

My second uncle's head shook like a rattle, and Grandma Jiang held his hand.

"Brother, your family is burdened with heavy responsibilities. We don't know when Mom's illness will relapse, and we can't let you take care of her all the time. Let Mom stay with me for the time being. The doctor said that she needs to cooperate with his treatment. When her condition stabilizes, you can come and take her home."

Second uncle lowered his head in thought, and Grandma Jiang felt something in her heart.

"Or maybe you guys are coming to the city to do business?"

"What? Doing business? We don't do that!"

Before my second uncle could react, my second aunt jumped up excitedly.

"Little sister, yes! We don't have any skills!"

"I'll call Cheng Cheng. She's smart."

Grandma Jiang pulled Chengcheng over in a flash, and her second uncle and his wife looked at her eagerly.

"What's wrong? It's a little scary for you to look at me like that."

Jiang Yichen took two steps back, that look in his eyes was really frightening.

"hehe!"

The two of them looked a little embarrassed and slightly withdrew their hands.

"I see there are still a lot of people eating out, why don't you sell breakfast? However, if you sell it in front of the school, it might affect the business of the grandmothers."

"Then don't go to the gate of No. 1 Middle School. Go to the gate of An'an School or the farmer's market. There are two main streets there."

Grandpa Jiang thought about the last few times when he accompanied his eldest brother to buy things. The flow of people there was quite good, and there were many people who lived and worked near the farmer's market.

"Brother-in-law, but we don't know what to do?"

My second uncle was very nervous, but suddenly he thought of something and his eyes lit up.

"By the way, I can make tofu. Is this okay?"

"Tofu? Uncle, that's possible! And tofu has many derivative products. Tofu brain, tofu skin, dried tofu, stinky tofu and so on and so forth."

Jiang Yicheng thought this skill was great, and it was really a win-win situation. But his second uncle hesitated and told him his story honestly.

"Chengcheng, I don't know how to make tofu. I learned this from an old craftsman when I was young and went out to find a job. I worked for him for three months for free. I wanted to come back and do it myself, but your great grandfather passed away and owed a lot of debts. How could he have money to start a business for me?"

"Uncle, it's okay. I've read a lot of books and they have introductions. Although they're not very detailed, as long as you figure out one thing, your business will definitely be secure."

Jiang Yichen has absolute confidence in this business.

"There's this in the book? Cheng Cheng, where did you read it?"

My second uncle was just speaking casually, not intending to pry into the matter, he was just surprised.

"Second uncle, there is an old saying: Books contain golden houses and beautiful women. Grandpa found a lot of miscellaneous books for me, and I used to read them when I had nothing to do."

"Brother, what Cheng Cheng said is right. Reading more books is still useful. Even as a worker, the more educated a person is, the more capable he is."

Grandpa Jiang didn't want him to continue asking about the book, so he quickly changed the subject.

"Really! Wife, let's try it then?"

My second uncle asked his wife's opinion again. Their family has always been one that discusses things before making a decision.

"Since Chengcheng thinks highly of you, let's give it a try. People who can read must have better brains than us, Chengcheng. As for the other things besides tofu you mentioned, you have to help grandpa uncle figure it out."

Second Aunt's grandmother placed all her hopes on Jiang Yichen. She felt that anyone who could dig ginseng must be extremely lucky!

"It mainly depends on my uncle. I am just an expert on paper. But this should be universal. My uncle might give me some advice and I can figure it out on my own."

"Wife, don't put pressure on Chengcheng. Even if we can't figure it out, it should be OK for us to just sell tofu."

My second uncle was afraid that my younger sister and the others would be unhappy, so he tried to smooth things over.

"Oh! Yes, yes, yes, look at my mouth, I deserve a beating!"

My second aunt’s wife felt a little embarrassed and slapped her mouth.

Jiang Yicheng shook his head, but he was not unhappy. He was definitely not a bad person if he could take such good care of the elderly.
