Chapter 238 Mom isn’t dreaming, right?
After returning from Shangtang Village, Wang Jin was in a daze the whole day and had difficulty falling asleep at night. He only fell into a drowsy sleep in the second half of the night.
Early the next morning, he was awakened by the noise in the yard. He quickly got up, put on his shoes, and rushed out of the room. When he saw the scene in the yard, he was stunned.
"Mom, you..."
Aunt Wang was sweeping fallen leaves in the yard. She saw him running out without even getting dressed, still in a daze, "Son, are you up? Go wash up quickly. I've already cooked breakfast."
Wang Jin woke up as if from a dream. His mother seemed to look different today. Her face was still thin, but she had lost her previous sickly look. She seemed to have regained her energy and spirit.
He walked over and took the broom from his mother, looked at her carefully, and asked nervously, "Mom, how do you feel?"
Aunt Wang was delighted. She patted her arms and said excitedly, "Yes, I feel strong all over now. I don't feel any discomfort at all. It's as if all those years of illness before didn't exist. The old doctor is really a miracle doctor!"
In the past, she would be too tired to continue sweeping the floor after a while, but today, she has been busy since early morning and does not feel tired at all. After so many years, this long-lost state of normality made her feel unreal.
"Son, son, we really did meet a miracle doctor, didn't we? I'm not dreaming, am I?"
"Mom, you are not dreaming, we really met a miracle doctor." Wang Jin felt a little sad and helped her sit on the stool. "Mom, you can take a rest. Just let your son take care of these things."
"Oh! Mom is not tired. Mom has endless energy right now."
"You can rest even if you are not tired."
Wang Jin insisted that she sit on a stool to rest, while he picked up the broom and continued to sweep the fallen leaves in the yard.
Aunt Wang talked to him in a casual manner, "My only wish now is to find you a wife in these last days." Fortunately, she still has time. In half a year, she can still do a lot of things.
Wang Jin was very resistant to such topics. He swept the fallen leaves in silence without saying a word.
Aunt Wang continued to talk to herself, "Son, tell me honestly, do you have a girl you like? If you have a girl you like, I will marry her to you no matter what."
"Mom, you should take good care of your health now and shouldn't worry so much."
"Hey, Mom, aren't you afraid that you won't have enough time?"
Wang Jin was silent again after hearing this. Aunt Wang also knew that what she said made him feel uncomfortable, so she sighed, "Jin'er, mother has let it go, and you should also let it go. If it weren't for the miracle doctor, mother might have passed away in less than two months. Now she can live for another six months. Mother has made a profit and is satisfied."
"I'm afraid that after I'm gone, you'll be left alone, without anyone to care for you. I won't feel at ease."
It's easy to say, but when the time comes, the dead will be relieved and have finally gotten over their problems, but the living will have to endure the pain of their loved ones' passing for a long time.
No matter how much Aunt Wang babbled, Wang Jin remained silent. He swept the yard and went to wash up.
After breakfast, he filled the water tank at home with water. These were his daily tasks. After finishing his work, he went back to the house and changed into the clothes of a constable.
"Mom, I'm going to work now. You should take a good rest and stop working. If you have anything to do, wait until I come back."
"Okay, go ahead. Mom is fine now, don't worry!"
Although her son asked her not to work hard, she had so much energy that she couldn't rest. Taking advantage of the good weather today, she took out all the bedding at home, washed it and hung it out to dry.
She couldn't do these tasks in the past. Even if she could wash the clothes, she didn't have the strength to hang them on the pole to dry. Now, she is much more energetic.
Wang Jin was always worried while he was working outside that day. After all, the pill his mother took was highly poisonous according to the old doctor. He was always worried that his mother might be careless and die.
He felt that the day was particularly long, and he was always distracted and absent-minded when on duty. Finally, when the shift was over, he refused his colleagues' invitation and rushed home without stopping.
As soon as he entered the house, he smelled the fragrance of food coming from the kitchen and saw his mother busy in the kitchen. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Hey! Are you back? Rest for a while, and you'll have food soon."
In the yard, the bedding sheets that were hung out to dry had not yet been brought back into the house, and he knew that his mother would definitely not be idle at home.
"Mom, didn't I tell you to take a good rest? Why are you busy with so many things?" He sighed helplessly and started to pack up.
"Mom has nothing to do anyway, so she can wash and dry the clothes while the sun is nice. Don't worry, Mom knows her limits and won't act stubbornly."
In addition to washing and drying clothes, she also cleaned the house inside and outside today. These were things she wanted to do in the past but was unable to do, so she could only watch her son suffer. Now that she has the energy, she is willing to finish all the work, so that her son doesn't have to work so hard.
As soon as Wang Jin entered the house, he could see that it was different from usual. The house was tidy and clean, and he could tell at a glance that someone had cleaned it. Who else could that person be other than his mother? He didn't know what to say, as long as she was happy.
This short yet long day was spent in Aunt Wang's joy and Wang Jin's fear and uncertainty.
It was not until he woke up the next day that Wang Jin saw that his mother was still in the same state as yesterday, and his heart temporarily settled down.
It seems that the old doctor is indeed amazing, and it is really disrespectful for him to make such speculations.
Song Ning was also worried about Aunt Wang. Although what Old Man Xin said sounded very convincing, she had not seen with her own eyes the changes that occurred in Aunt Wang after she took the pill, so she was always curious.
Two days and two nights have passed, and I still don’t know what Aunt Wang’s current condition is.
So, when Old Man Xin came back from the mountain with Yang Yang, Song Ning chased him and asked him before he even touched the bench: "Old Man, it's been two days, and I don't know what's going on with Aunt Wang now. There shouldn't be any problems, right?"
"What? Are you questioning me?" Old man Xin was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. Looking around the world, who would dare to question his way of curing diseases and saving lives like this?
