90s: You are all reborn, who will spoil you?

Chapter 17 The gears of fate begin to turn

At six o'clock in the morning, when the first ray of morning light quietly entered the room, Xie Jianhua had already quietly gotten up from the bed, fearing that he would disturb Xie Yan who was still asleep.

Wearing a comfortable old T-shirt and loose pants, he walked briskly to the kitchen and began the first important task of the day - preparing breakfast.

In the kitchen, the light is soft and warm, reflecting Xie Jianhua's focused and skilled figure.

He first opened the refrigerator and took out fresh eggs, milk and a few slices of freshly baked bread.

Then, he turned on the stove with ease, adjusted the heat to a moderate level, poured a little oil into the pan, and prepared to fry the eggs.

As the oil temperature gradually rises, the eggs jump happily in the pan, emitting an enticing aroma, and the golden yolk looks particularly tempting when wrapped in egg white.

At the same time, Xie Jianhua did not forget to use this time to make a pot of hot tea. The tea leaves slowly expanded in the hot water, emitting a faint fragrance.

He carefully placed the fried eggs on the bread, poured a little ketchup on it, and paired it with a cup of warm milk. A simple but nutritious breakfast was ready.

After doing all this, Xie Jianhua gently patted Xie Yan on the bed and called his daughter in a gentle voice to get up and have breakfast.

Xie Yan got up, sat at the dining table, and ate the breakfast prepared by her father, still thinking about how to save Liu Yuan's mother.

Xie Jianhua saw his daughter eating, so he packed a pot of porridge and two fried eggs in an insulated lunch box. He also had to go to the health center to bring breakfast to his wife, and asked the doctor if his wife was feeling better.

He picked up his thermos lunch box and strode out of the house.

If Lin Luping had nothing serious to do, he would take his daughter to the mountains to collect Chinese medicinal herbs today.

Xie Jianhua actually really wants his daughter to inherit his mantle, become a qualified veterinarian, and serve the people in the village.

He loves this career and hopes his daughter will like it too.

After all, every year when Xie Yan has a vacation, her father-in-law always rushes to take Xie Yan over and teach her Chinese medicine theory.

Interests are cultivated from childhood.

.......

In the ward on the second floor of the health center, Lin Luping has woken up, with flowers and fruits beside her.

Xie Jianhua walked to the bedside with an insulated box.

He didn't say anything, just stood there quietly, his eyes fixed on Lin Luping's face. He gently opened the thermal box, and the steam from the porridge and the aroma of the fried eggs instantly filled the entire ward.

Lin Luping picked up the spoon and tasted the porridge.

"How are you? Are you feeling better today?" Xie Jianhua finally spoke, his voice low and gentle.

"Very good, I'm fine." Lin Luping replied with a hint of sob in her voice. The moment she looked up at Xie Jianhua, tears almost burst out of her eyes.

Xie Jianhua glanced at his wife and did not respond to her.

Lin Luping was like this every time. It wasn't that he didn't care about his wife, but he was disgusted by her vague tea art.

She always thinks that something went wrong and it's someone else's fault. When she's told that, she cries and shouts, feeling extremely aggrieved.

After Lin Luping finished her breakfast, Xie Jianhua said goodbye and turned around and hurried towards the family compound.

The sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting patches of light on his back.

When Xie Jianhua returned home, Xie Yan had already packed everything and was standing at the door with anticipation, her little face filled with a desire for adventure.

She was wearing a light sportswear and carrying a small backpack filled with a water bottle, a small shovel and some necessary outdoor supplies.

"Dad, I'm ready!" Xie Yan said excitedly, her eyes sparkling.

Xie Jianhua smiled and touched his daughter's head, saying gently, "Let's go. Yanyan will inherit Daddy's skills from now on."

"Dad, what if I don't become a veterinarian?" Xie Yan raised her head and asked curiously.

Xie Jianhua paused, thought for a moment, and then said with relief: "That doesn't matter. You are Daddy's baby whatever you want to do."

Hand in hand, the father and daughter set out on the path to the mountains.

Along the way, they admired the beautiful scenery of the mountains, breathed the fresh air, and occasionally stopped to observe the flowers and plants on the roadside and discussed which ones might be the herbs they needed.

Although Xie Yan was young, she had sharp observation skills due to her memories of her past life, and she quickly discovered herbs of various shapes.

Whenever this happened, Xie Jianhua would patiently teach her how to identify herbs, and explain their medicinal value and collection methods.

Over time, their backpacks gradually filled with a variety of herbs.

The father and daughter did not stop until they had picked a full basket of herbs. The scorching sun shone on them, adding a bit of golden glow to them.

Xie Yan was carrying the heavy basket on her back, and although it was a bit strenuous, her face was filled with a satisfied smile. Being able to live a life with her father again was a dream she had only dreamed of in her previous life.

After returning home, Xie Jianhua began to process these herbs.

He first sorted the herbs, then washed and dried them carefully.

While Xie Jianhua was busy, Xie Yan made an excuse, saying that she wanted to play with Lu Tingting. After leaving the house, Xie Yan went straight to the police station.

After a morning of calm thinking, Xie Yan went through a complicated inner struggle, and she decided to try to ask the police for help first.

Entering the police station, Xie Yan took a deep breath and tried to make herself look calmer.

The police listened patiently to Xie Yan's account and asked for some details.

The few policemen on duty at the end all laughed out loud, watching the seven or eight-year-old girl in front of them talking about her wild dreams. Her childish yet fantastical words made their faces filled with warm smiles.

One of the policemen was a man in his thirties, about the same age as Xie Jianhua, with a gentle smile in the corner of his eyes. He also had a daughter at home, so he had a special resonance with Xie Yan's innocence and curiosity.

He squatted down and gently comforted Xie Yan, his tone full of love and patience: "Little girl, your dream is really interesting! The police officers love to hear it. However, although dreams are wonderful, they are not reality! I guess you must have seen the wanted posters on the street and were scared, so you had such a dream. Look, it's almost time for lunch, and your father must be very worried about you. How about this, I take you home, okay?"

Xie Yan looked up at the police officer, shook her head, and clutched the corner of his clothes tightly with her small hands: "Uncle, please, everything I said is true. If we don't catch that fugitive today, he will harm more women in the coming years!"

The policeman frowned slightly when he heard this, but then his brows relaxed again, and his eyes showed a bit more seriousness and understanding.

"Little boy, I understand you're brave and worried about everyone's safety. But to say a suspect will commit another crime based on just a dream is just... "

When Xie Yan heard this, her eyes flickered, and her lost look was heartbreaking.

He squatted lower, so that his eyes were level with Xie Yan's. His voice was gentle but firm: "How about this, you tell your uncles, what time do you think the wanted criminal will commit a crime tonight, and we uncles will send someone to stake out, okay?"

Xie Yan's eyes lit up instantly. She wasn't sure if the police officer in front of her was serious, but she gestured with her hands and spoke quickly but clearly, "Around 9 o'clock tonight, the road from the health center's staff quarters to the Honghong Noodle House on the street. Uncle, please, be sure to guard it. A murder is really going to happen tonight."

After saying that, Xie Yan bent down and bowed solemnly.

"Okay, uncle will definitely go. Where do you live? Can uncle take you home?"
