"If nothing unexpected happens tomorrow, he should be resting and coming home. Xiaoxiao, do you need to see your Third Uncle for something?"

She nodded, "The pills I made for Second Uncle are ready. I was hoping Third Uncle could find a way to deliver them."

Grandpa Fu nodded repeatedly, "Yes, it's important to send them to Second Uncle early. Xiaoxiao's medical skills are so good; these pills are effective. Second Uncle's dangerous job can't do without medicine."

Fu Weibao said, "Don't worry, Dad. If Third Uncle doesn't come back tomorrow, Ah Yu can ride to the county to deliver them."

After giving Grandpa Fu acupuncture and preparing his medicinal bath, everyone returned to their rooms to sleep. She took a half-hour bath in the space, packed the hemostatic medicine into a box, and then went to bed.

Moonlight bathed the small courtyard in a cold, serene glow.

Everyone was already asleep...

Early the next Morning

Fu Xiao woke up early. After getting up and washing, she saw Fu Weilun pushing a bicycle into the yard.

She went up to him, "Third Uncle, you're back."

He parked the bike and, seeing her, smiled and handed her the items he was carrying, "Xiaoxiao, here, take the breakfast inside."

Li Xiufen came out of the room and, seeing this, smiled, "Third Uncle, there's breakfast at home. Why did you bring more?"

Fu Weilun smiled, "Sister-in-law, I passed by the state-owned restaurant on my way back. They had just made some buns, so I bought a few."

"Alright, then sit down and have some more. I'll get you a bowl of porridge."

"Thank you, Sister-in-law."

He sat at the dining table and placed the meat buns from the paper bag onto a plate.

"Uncle's back?"

Fu Yu came out of the room, greeting Fu Weilun before sitting down.

"Yes, Xiao Yu. You should be able to go to school in a few days..." Fu Weilun said slowly.

Fu Yu frowned, "What about the county matters...?"

At this moment, Fu Hong ran out of the room, "Can we go to school? That's great! I've been so bored at home these past few days."

Fu Xiao noticed Fu Yu and Third Uncle exchanging glances but did not continue the previous topic.

Li Xiufen came out of the kitchen with a bowl of porridge, "Bored? I think you're just idling. Go... get a bowl from the kitchen."

She sent Fu Hong to the kitchen and placed the porridge in front of Fu Weilun. Then she went back to the kitchen to bring out boiled eggs, with Fu Xiao following to serve two bowls of porridge.

Fu Weilun asked, "Sister-in-law, where's Big Brother and Dad?"

"Today they're planting beans in the field. Your brother went out early to assign tasks to the team leaders, and Dad should be there too. His health has improved lately; he wakes up earlier than anyone in the house."

Fu Weilun nodded with a smile, "It seems Xiaoxiao's treatment is working."

Li Xiufen agreed with a smile, "Indeed. Xiaoxiao's medical skills are impressive, even better than the doctors in the county. Old Li from the village said Dad looks like he's ten years younger."
