Grandmother held Xie Yi’s hands in hers and spoke to Old Madam Jing. “Sister, my daughter’s back. I’m going to teach her the traditional embroidery of Jiameng. If nobody learns this traditional embroidery technique, it will be gone for good after I die.”
“Grandmother, I know how to do it.”
Learning embroidery was an arduous process.
Xie Yi was already kind enough to play along as her mother. It would be too forceful on Xie Yi if she had to learn embroidery against her will.
“You know how to do it?” asked Grandmother unbelievably.
Ye Tianxin nodded, “Yeah, you’ve taught me how to do it before. If you don’t believe me, I’ll show you after dinner.”
Uncle He put extra effort into preparing dinner that day. He instructed the chefs to prepare several dishes that would suit most people’s tastes since he did not know what kind of cuisine Xie Yi preferred.
Grandmother and Old Madam Jing sat next to each other, while Xie Yi sat on the other side of Grandmother.
Naturally, Xie Yi had to help Grandmother during the meal.
Grandmother had been lying on the hospital bed for so long that she couldn’t use chopsticks as well as before.
Xie Yi patiently guided Grandmother and taught her how to use chopsticks.
“Linlang, here, have some of your favorite longan meat.”
Grandmother picked up a piece of longan meat with trembling hands and placed it in the small bowl in front of Xie Yi.
Xie Yi looked at the longan meat in her bowl with a troubled expression. The color of the longan meat was indeed attractive, but it was too fattening.
As a doctor, Xie Yi refused to consume greasy food.
“Grandmother, my mum’s on a diet now. She can’t eat such greasy food.”
As Xie Yi did not start eating after some time, Ye Tianxin thought Xie Yi refused to eat food touched by others’ chopsticks due to hygienic concerns.
When she was about to pick up the longan meat with her chopsticks from Xie Yi’s bowl, Grandmother said, “You’re already as skinny as a bamboo stick. Why are you still on a diet! Eat more, Linlang, and let me have another chubby grandson in the future!”
I…
Ye Tianxin felt abandoned by her grandmother.
Wasn’t she her granddaughter by blood?
Did Grandmother want a grandson more than a granddaughter?
Grandmother shouldn’t be so demanding.
Back then, Grandmother also only had a daughter, which was her mum.
“Mum, my age doesn’t allow me to give birth anymore.”
Xie Yi was already in her forties. How could she still give birth to a child?
Grandmother replied, “Who said that? Back then, there was an old lady in our village. She was in her fifties, but she still gave birth to a son. My daughter’s still young…”
Xie Yi picked up the longan meat with her chopsticks and put it into her mouth. A sweet and savory taste filled her mouth instantly.
The longan meat looked fattening, but it didn’t taste greasy at all.
The longan meat was sweet but not too sweet. It was marinated with various kinds of spices that made it taste amazing.
“That’s right. Young people should consume more meat.”
Grandmother was about to get food for Xie Yi again when Ye Tianxin stopped her hastily. “Grandmother, you only take care of your daughter. You’ve forgotten about me!”
Grandmother laughed and said, “If it were not for my daughter, you wouldn’t be here!”
“Here, never mind if your grandmother doesn’t take care of you, I’ll take care of my precious Tianxin!”
Old Madam Jing stood up and got a braised pork ball for Ye Tianxin.
She was very fond of Ye Tianxin. People tend to grow fond of the young lady easily.
She hoped that her sister did not accidentally hurt the young lady feelings.
“Thank you, Aunty.”
Ye Tianxin picked up the braised pork ball and took a bite.
All the chefs in Langyuan were elites, and all of the dishes they made looked pleasing and tasted delicious.
If it were not for Ye Tianxin’s self-control in her diet, Li Qingcang might be coming back to a chubby meatball instead of a dainty fairy.
