"The basket contains the pickled cabbage and meat dumplings I made yesterday. The pork fat is not tasty when it is cold. You have to heat it up before eating. Do you think it suits their taste? If it does, make it and give it to them next time. Anyway, we have plenty of pickled cabbage at home."

"This can contains pickled sour and spicy radish. I heard from Grandma Gu that Dad Gu likes to eat this. You can give it to him and tell him to eat it with porridge in the morning."

"This pair of shoes is made for your mother-in-law. I put a few layers of corn leaves on the soles. They are light and waterproof. She sits in the hospital all day. It is more comfortable to wear cloth shoes than leather shoes. I don't know what size shoes she wears. I made it based on my guesswork, and I don't know if it will fit her. Take it over and ask her to try it on to see if it fits. If it's too big or too small, tell me."

"This glass bottle contains pear paste candy. I made it myself. I heard from Grandma Gu that Aunt Gu Cheng always coughs in the spring. This pear paste candy was made by your grandpa. It contains honeysuckle, monk fruit and tangerine peel. You often ate it when you were a child. When you coughed, put one in your mouth. It worked better than taking medicine."

"This box contains dog skin plaster. It was made by the old Chinese doctor in Qianmen. I heard from your mother-in-law that Mrs. Liu often had back pain. I used to apply this when I had back pain. It worked. Take it over and ask her to try it."

The Gu family was good to Ye Huan, and she was grateful in her heart, always wanting to give something back.

To be honest, these things were not worth much, but she had prepared them with great care.

Sister-in-law Feng called Ye Huan outside, "Huan Huan, I heard a car outside, go out and see if it's coming to pick you up?"

Ye Huan responded and went out.

When she walked to the gate of the courtyard, she saw Xiao Xu coming over and saluted Ye Huan, "Sister-in-law, the leader asked me to pick you up."

Li Xiufen also followed out. She had seen Xiao Xu before, so she said to Xiao Xu, "Come in and have a drink of water and take a rest."

Xiao Xu said politely, "No, Auntie, I'll wait for you outside."

Ye Huan had already taken out the things she was going to take, a basket and a bag, and Xiao Xu took them all.

Ye Huan, "Mom, I'll go then. I'll come back for dinner in the evening."

Li Xiufen, "Okay, go ahead."

Sister Feng teased her, "You're so old but still can't leave your mother. You haven't left yet, but you're thinking about coming back."

Li Xiufen, "It's all my habit. I won't get used to her anymore."

The first sentence said she was not used to her, and the second sentence asked Ye Huan, "Do you want to eat hand-rolled noodles or fried egg pancakes in the evening?"

Ye Huan, "I want to eat fried noodles with soybean paste."

Li Xiufen, "Okay, okay, let's eat fried noodles with soybean paste. Mom dried the soybean paste before the New Year, and I haven't eaten it yet. It's a good time to go to Kaifeng to try it."

Xiao Xu's car was parked on the road outside. Xiao Xu put the basket and bag on the back seat, and waited for Ye Huan to get in the car, then started the car and drove away.

The family hospital of the military hospital.

Han Xiaoxue went in and out, muttering, "Why hasn't my sister-in-law come yet?"
