Chapter 376: Chapter 376 Today is a Memorable Day

After dinner, I finished treating Big Brother in the afternoon, and then started making the medicinal ointment.

Grandpa helped crush the herbs with a medicine grinder, while Big Brother used a small sieve to help filter the pulverized medicine that Grandpa had ground.

Grandma went to the department store and bought a batch of small porcelain jars, then handed them over to Second Brother, asking him to wash and dry the jars while sitting in his wheelchair, ready for use.

We had a small-sized clay pot perfect for boiling the ointment, and Luo Qiao didn’t dare leave the kitchen for a moment, constantly watching the fire and stirring nonstop. It took two hours to boil the ointment until it turned a light yellow color, after which she extinguished the fire.

When it was not too hot, she hurriedly poured it into the porcelain jars that had been prepared in advance because it would become too thick and sticky to pour if it cooled too much.

Once completely cool, she sealed the jars with wax, and the job was done!

This ointment could also be used for Second Brother’s leg, so she made quite a bit of it—five jars for the family. Thinking of this, she thought of Lu Yichen’s leg. His leg injury was light compared to the others here.

She planned to treat him once the New Year was over and he should be able to recover when the weather warmed up a bit more. It was just a pity that it was a bit late; otherwise, he might not have needed to leave the military.

Luo Qiao helped with the preparation of the evening meal, stewing a dish with cabbage, vermicelli, and sliced meat, and cooking two mixed-flour pancakes, along with a pot of cornmeal porridge.

Luo Qiao took advantage of Grandma’s absence to add a little white flour to the mix, not daring to add too much, and also cut an extra piece of meat. Just then, the Sun Family next door had asked Grandma for assistance.

By the time Grandma got back, Luo Qiao had already finished cooking the meal—perfect!

Dinner was early that day, and Luo Qiao found an excuse to say she needed to step out for a bit and would return after taking care of things, planning to leave after finishing acupuncture for her brothers the next day.

Grandpa originally wanted to come along, but Luo Qiao assured him she’d be back shortly.

There were only two bedrooms in the house, but fortunately, the beds on both sides were large enough. Grandpa would squeeze in with Big Brother and Second Brother for the night, and she would share a room with Grandma, asking them to get ready in advance.

When Grandma heard Luo Qiao was going to stay over that night, she was thrilled and hurriedly started to make arrangements. Watching them bustle about, Luo Qiao secretly took out five milk candies from her storage space, feeding one to each person and putting the last one in her mouth with a smile, saying, "I’m off."

No one expected Luo Xuyan to suddenly speak up first, "Sister, come back early."

His speech was much quicker than usual, and it flowed smoothly. The Luo’s Elderly Couple exchanged glances, their eyes welling up with tears. Luo Qiao said, "We should be happy."

Zhou Guifang wiped the corner of her eye with her sleeve and said, "We’re really getting old."

Luo Qiao replied with a smile, "Big Brother and Second Brother will get better each day. Grandma, if you keep being moved like this, we might spend the whole New Year swimming in tears."

Then everyone laughed, and Luo Qiao said, "That’s more like it, we have to face life with a smile."

After waving her hand, she left the room, only to hear Luo Xuyuan shouting from behind, "Qiaoqiao, come back early."

As Luo Qiao walked out, she responded, "Got it, Second Brother."

At that moment, her eyes moistened once again; so many moments today had moved her, and she silently thought to herself, "Today is a day worth remembering."

Yesterday, they might not have personally felt the change in their bodies and were still quite confused, but today Big Brother and Second Brother had truly changed.

After leaving the house, Luo Qiao walked a fair distance before finding a place to enter her space, apply makeup, and retrieve the women’s bicycle she had saved in her space from her last trip to the south.

She deliberately took a longer route to the meeting point because it had snowed yesterday, and caution was still necessary.

Still a distance away from the rendezvous, Luo Qiao stowed the bicycle in her space and took another path. She noticed several stealthy figures lurking on the opposite side.

Luo Qiao thought Jin Biao seemed to be righteous and forthright, but she had thought too highly of him. It turned out he had sent people to monitor her. He was not someone to associate with deeply.

It was impossible to go to the grove ahead, so she turned and left the area. Luckily, she had a backup plan. She had noticed this place a few days ago. Walking on, about eight hundred meters away, there was a dilapidated courtyard.

Luo Qiao noted she had twenty minutes before the trade. She first went in to inspect the location and, feeling that there were no issues, came back out. She hadn’t yet taken out the vegetables, as it was too cold, and she was worried about them freezing.
