Two generations of military wives compete for time

Qian Yizhen and his party of three got into Yang Ruolan's luxury car and set off early. After traveling for most of the day, the car stopped in front of a dilapidated Taoist temple.

Yang Ruolan knocked on the door: "Is anyone there? Are Sister Yuan and Yuan Yanqin here?" After a while, a girl in her teens opened the door: "Auntie Yang, you are here. Please come in."

"Mom, Aunt Yang is here. We have guests." The girl said as she led the three people into the house.

The room was dimly lit, and a damp, musty smell filled the air. The girl's mother was lying on the bed. When she saw someone coming, she sat up, leaned against the wall, and said weakly, "Auntie Yang, come in and sit down. Niuniu, go boil some water and make tea for the guest."

Qian Yizhen felt sad and hurried forward: "Sister Yuan, are you sick? You look a little strange."

"I've been like this for a while. I went to the commune clinic and got some medicine, but it didn't work. Forget it. It costs money to see a doctor. I'll just bear with it for now."

"If you are sick, you can't delay treatment. If you delay a minor illness, it will turn into a major one, which will be more difficult to treat. Come back to the provincial capital with us for treatment. My grandfather is a Chinese medicine doctor and he guarantees that you will be cured." Qian Yizheng said sincerely to Sister Yuan.

"Go, go, we have a car. Just like you saved me back then, if I just watch you die, I will feel guilty." Yang Ruolan said anxiously.

"Go, go. Your daughter is so old but has never been to school. I am a teacher at the Provincial Normal University. I will help her contact the school and let her go to school. You can't go on like this." Wang Min was a little impatient and urged.

Qian Yizhen stroked the girl's black hair and said, "What's your name? How old are you?" "My name is Niuniu, and I'm twelve years old."

"Niuniu was picked up by me. When she was about three or four years old, I found her lying on the side of the road, unconscious. I took her to the Taoist temple and used our Taoist medical skills to bring her back to life. She has been living with me ever since," Yuan Yanqin explained.

"This Taoist temple has a long history. During the Cultural Revolution, all the people in the temple were driven away. I am an orphan and had nowhere to go, so I stayed here. The temple has fallen into disrepair due to lack of money to repair it, and I can't do anything about it." Yuan Yanqin said with tears in her eyes and choked up.

The three of them went out and discussed for ten minutes, first persuading Sister Yuan to go to the provincial capital for treatment, then helping Niuniu find a school to attend, and finally raising funds to repair the Taoist temple.

The three of them took Yuan Yanqin and Niuniu back to the provincial capital. After discussion, Yuan Yanqin and Niuniu stayed at Yang Ruolan's home. After a short rest, they immediately took Yang Yanqin to the Provincial People's Hospital for a physical examination. The results showed that she was in the middle stage of gastric cancer and needed surgery immediately.

Yuan Yanqin waved her hands and said, "No more treatment, no more treatment. Don't waste that money. Send me back and leave it to fate."

"That won't work. If we are sick, we have to treat it. Listen to me, you get well first, and I'll pay to rebuild your Taoist temple to its original appearance. How about that?" Yang Ruolan made a promise quickly.

Sister Yuan Yanqin's eyes immediately lit up: "Really, do you really think so?" Yang Ruolan nodded seriously.

Sister Yuan Yanqin's gastric cancer surgery was very successful. Grandpa Lu Kaipu observed, smelled, asked and palpated her. He prescribed Chinese medicine decoctions for Sister Yang and combined it with Western medicine treatment. Everything went smoothly and her condition improved.

Qian Yizhen brought Niuniu to Hao Xia's house. When Hao Xia saw Niuniu for the first time, she said, "Where did you get this child? You two look like two peas in a pod. You look so alike. What's going on?"

"Sister Hao Xia, I know you have a good eye for people, so I brought her here for you to take a look."

Afterwards, he told the story of Yuan Yanqin and Niu Niu in detail, and asked sister-in-law Hao Xia to let Hongmei and Niu Niu be a companion, as they are of similar age and can communicate well.

After Wang Min helped Niu Niu find a school, they moved out. Hao Xia's sister-in-law agreed immediately, touched Niu Niu's head, and sighed: "She is also a miserable person. Leave it to me, I guarantee that there will be no problem." Qian Yizhen handed the newly bought toiletries and new clothes to Hao Xia's sister-in-law: "Please." "Why are you being so polite?" Hao Xia's sister-in-law scolded.

Sister-in-law Hao Xia helped Niu Niu wash up and change into new clothes. Then she looked at Niu Niu carefully and the more she looked, the more she looked like Qian Yizhen. She felt an immense fondness for Niu Niu. Perhaps it was because she loved the person so much that she loved the whole person.

When Hongmei came back from school, sister-in-law Hao Xia introduced Niuniu to Hongmei. Hongmei liked Niuniu at first sight. After exchanging names and ages, Hongmei became the elder sister and Niuniu the younger sister. The two girls quickly became good friends.

After Grandma Lu Jingde knew Niu Niu's background, she felt very sorry for her and said to her, "Just stay in our house with peace of mind. Grandma likes you."

After Professor Chen Zhuoran knew Niuniu's background, he said to Hao Xia, "Niuniu is so old and has never been to school. If Wang Min can't find a school, I can help Niuniu contact the Jiaotong University Attached Primary School so that she can go to school with Hongmei and keep her company." Hao Xia nodded and said, "I'll tell Qian Yizhen later."
