"Grandma, I've brought you some meat. Have you missed me?"

As soon as Su Yuanyuan entered the courtyard, she saw her grandmother sitting on a stool sewing clothes. Hearing her voice, she looked up with a happy expression on her face.

“Yuanyuan is here! Come and let Grandma see her. Grandma has missed Yuanyuan so much.”

Grandma put down her needlework and pulled Su Yuanyuan into the house.

"Grandma, wait a moment, I'll put the meat in the kitchen." Su Yuanyuan quickly stopped her, went into the kitchen, put the meat on the cutting board, and then came out.

Grandma waited at the door with a big smile on her face, and kept muttering to herself as she saw her come out.

"You can just come over, why bring meat? Keep it for yourself, we're too old to eat much. I'll just make you some to help you recover at noon."

"Grandma, there's still plenty at home. My dad brought back a huge piece of meat last night, enough to last for several days. You and Grandpa can eat this, and I'll bring you more when we're done."

Su Yuanyuan hugged her grandmother's arm and walked with her into the house, acting cute and charming all the way until her grandmother finally agreed to leave the meat for herself.

The elderly are used to being frugal, so we always try to save the best things for them. We have to do this every time before they will listen and use them themselves.

"Grandma, what were you sewing just now? Let me help you." Sitting on the bed, Su Yuanyuan asked her grandmother about the clothes she had just sewed.

She can embroider now, and she can even sew clothes by hand.

Grandma is getting old, so it's best if she does less of this kind of work that strains her eyes.

"Your grandfather's clothes got a little torn yesterday when he was out scraping against a tree. It'll be over in a minute, I can fix it myself."

Grandma waved her hand, gesturing for her to sit down, while she opened the box beside the bed and took out a small paper packet.

“Yuanyuan, come and have a taste. Your cousin passed through our village a few days ago and brought us some snacks. I’ve saved them for you.”

Su Yuanyuan looked at the mung bean cake that had been stuffed into her hand. It was already crumbled into crumbs, but she didn't mind. She picked up a piece and put it in her mouth.

The sweet taste made her uncomfortable, but she didn't show it. Instead, she happily took another bite.

This is a sign of Grandma's love for her; how could she let the old lady down?

Grandma saw that she liked it, and her face wrinkled even more, so she poured her another bowl of water and placed it in front of her.

"Eat slowly, take it all back with you later."

"Grandma, you should eat some too. I won't take all of it. You can keep some for yourselves."

Su Yuanyuan picked up a slightly larger piece of mung bean cake and fed it to her grandmother.

At first, Grandma was unwilling and tried to push it back, but seeing Su Yuanyuan's unhappy face, she ate the little bit of mung bean cake.

Su Yuanyuan smiled, quickly picked up the water and took a sip. This mung bean cake was too sweet; she needed to smooth it out.

"Grandma, you should eat less each day. It's not good to eat too much sweet food."

"Grandma doesn't want any, I'll take them all back for you." Grandma smiled and prepared to wrap them up.

She took a bite and found it too sweet, so she told her granddaughter to take it home and eat it slowly.

Su Yuanyuan stopped her grandmother and took out a few relatively intact pieces from the paper package and put them aside.

"Grandma, you can keep some, just a little bit every day to sweeten your mouth. What if you take it all back and it goes bad?"

"Oh, okay, okay, put in less. We're too old to eat that much."

When her grandmother saw that she was about to take more, she quickly reached out to stop her and gently patted her arm. Su Yuanyuan didn't feel any pain at all.

"You silly girl, you never think about yourself. Fine, I'll keep some for myself. Grandma will buy you some other snacks next time she goes to town."

Su Yuanyuan smiled sweetly at her grandmother, shook her grandmother's arm, and said coquettishly, "I know Grandma is the best, so I'll skip buying the snacks."

After saying that, she walked to the door, picked up her grandfather's clothes, looked at the torn parts, and sat down to carefully begin mending them.

Grandma looked at her without saying a word, and smiled as she wrapped up the mung bean cake for her.

Watching her sew clothes diligently, she secretly rummaged through the box and took out a few copper coins.

Gently tuck it into the outer layer of the paper package containing the pastries, ensuring it won't fall out or touch the pastries.

Su Yuanyuan quickly mended the clothes, picked them up and shook them. There was no trace of the mending at all, and she nodded proudly.

See? Just look at her skillful hands; all those years of embroidery training haven't been for nothing.

"Grandma, it's mended. Put the clothes on the bed first, and I'll put the needle and thread away for you."

Su Yuanyuan folded the clothes and put them on the bed, put the needle and thread back in their place, looked around the yard, and found there was nothing else she could do.

"Grandma, I'll be going now. I'll come back to see you next time." Su Yuanyuan said goodbye to her grandmother, not forgetting that she still had to go up the mountain.

"Are you leaving already? You've only been here a short time." Grandma saw that she was about to leave and hurriedly came out of the house, carrying the bag of snacks in her hand.

Su Yuanyuan took the snacks and carefully helped her grandmother.

"Please take your time, I have something to do later, I'll come back in a couple of days."

She didn't mention going up the mountain, otherwise her grandmother definitely wouldn't have let her go.

"Okay, okay, remember to eat the snacks. Next time you come, stay a little longer, and Grandma will make you something delicious."

Grandma followed her all the way to the gate of the courtyard. Su Yuanyuan wouldn't let her come out again, since they lived in the same village, and she was afraid that Grandma would see her going up the mountain.

Su Yuanyuan walked a long way and looked back, but didn't see her grandmother. She turned and ran into the mountains.

On the way up the mountain, Su Yuanyuan found a stick and carefully poked at the roadside grass to see if there were any mushrooms.

She searched while clicking on the lottery. It was one thing not to win anything good, but it was another to not take the chance. Even if there was only a one in a thousand chance, she had to take the lottery.

Su Yuanyuan walked for a long time without seeing any mushrooms. She threw away the stick in frustration and looked up at the turntable that had stopped.

This time, she drew a skill again. Su Yuanyuan stopped and leaned over to take a look. Was it a spiritual connection?

The skill description states that it allows the user to sense spirits, and with strong mental power, it may even be possible to kill evil spirits.

Su Yuanyuan stroked her chin thoughtfully. This skill seemed pretty good, but she wondered if she should learn it now.

She clicked to claim it, and before she could react, a beam of light shot out from the spinning wheel and quickly entered her mind.

Su Yuanyuan was startled, and then the method of using the skill appeared in her mind, which can be summed up in four words: act at will.

Su Yuanyuan's face darkened. She suddenly realized that this skill wasn't so great after all. No wonder it was mandatory to learn.

If she had seen this method beforehand, she definitely wouldn't have learned it. The method is so vague; who knows if there will be any side effects?

Su Yuanyuan turned off the turntable, intending to try out the skill first. She closed her eyes and silently recited "use" in her mind, but there was no response.

Then I silently thought, I want to see a spirit, then I opened my eyes and looked around, but there was nothing there.

She was silent for a while, then, unwilling to give up, she muttered to herself, "I want to see ghosts, I want to kill evil spirits."

Nothing happened. Su Yuanyuan's forehead veins bulged. She was an idiot; how could she possibly draw something useful?
