Six years later, Wang's house

Miss Tan caught a cold and has been bedridden ever since.

Wang looked at her son with a worried look on his face and frowned, "Gui'er, what disease did Xi'er have? Is it serious?"

"Mom, no, it's okay," Wang Yugui answered hurriedly. Seeing Wang staring at him with suspicion, he hurriedly said, "Little Doctor Wang said that it was a cold!"

"Then why is it that I haven't gotten better after taking several doses of medicine?" Wang frowned again: "Is it because Doctor Wang's medical skills are not good enough?"

As he spoke, he sighed, "Alas, it's a pity that his father, Doctor Wang, passed away last year. Otherwise, Doctor Wang would have given us some peace of mind!"

"Well, in theory, this little Doctor Wang learned his medical skills from his father, Old Doctor Wang, so he should be okay, right?" Wang Yugui frowned slightly after hearing this: "Usually, people have a good opinion of him."

"However, compared to his father, he may indeed be a little worse!"

Wang heard this and was worried: "Oh, what should I do?"

"We can't find a doctor in Wangtian County who is better than Doctor Wang in Chinese medicine."

"Don't delay Xi'er's treatment!"

Wang Yugui heard this and said hurriedly, "Mom, don't worry. Mr. Tan has already sent someone to Huaizhou Prefecture to invite the famous doctor Xue Langzhong."

"It should arrive this afternoon. I've sent someone to the dock to watch for it."

"Really? Oh, that's good." Wang nodded and sighed: "Hey, Xi'er looks weak and fragile on weekdays..."

"But, he has always been in good health, how come he got sick this time?"

"Xiaojie and his wife were taken to the capital by my eldest sister again."

"If I had known that Xi'er was sick, I wouldn't have let Xiaojie and his wife go to the capital. They could at least help take care of her at home."

Wang Yugui laughed after hearing this, and said that his son Wang Xiaojie is indeed better than his father.

He passed the examination to become a scholar at the age of fifteen, and failed the provincial examination twice in a row. This year he finally passed and got married.

Although he passed the imperial examination, Wang and Miss Tan were reluctant to let him go out and serve as an official for the time being.

He himself was still thinking about going to Beijing to take the imperial examination, so he was not in a hurry to seek an official position.

When the eldest sister heard that Xiaojie had passed the imperial examination, she was very happy and specially sent someone to pick him up to go to Beijing in advance to prepare for the exam.

Wang Yugui thought it would be a good idea to go to Beijing earlier, and it would also allow Chunsheng to guide his son, so he readily agreed.

Wang Xiaojie passed the imperial examination as he wished, and as a newlywed, he was full of energy and ambition. He asked his mother to take his new wife to the capital to accompany him in his studies.

Miss Tan loved her son dearly and thought it would be great to have a new daughter-in-law around to take care of her son, so she agreed.

Unexpectedly, she fell ill just half a year after her son and daughter-in-law passed away.

Speaking of Miss Tan's illness, it is quite strange.

Doctor Wang said that it was a cold. Wang Yugui also felt that the symptoms were similar to a cold, but more serious than an ordinary cold. He took medicine but it didn't get better.

Thinking of this, Wang Yugui sighed: "Hey, Mom, Xiaojie can't help much at home, and there's nothing big going on at home. I can handle it."

Wang smiled and said, "It's not a big deal, but wouldn't it be better if there were a son and a daughter-in-law at home to take care of Xier?"

"Xi'er, look at this and you'll be happier. Maybe you'll get better sooner!"

"Hey, mother, Xiaojie went to the capital city not to take the exam, but to have fun." Wang Yugui smiled, "The child has grown up, how can he be with you every day? He has to go out for a walk, he has his own things to do!"

Wang listened and nodded: "Yes, Guier, I understand what you said."

"Xiaojie is a more ambitious kid than you were when you were younger."

Wang said this and looked at Wang Yugui: "You took the provincial examination three times and failed three times."

"Xiao Jie passed the exam after only three attempts. He's much better than you!"

Oh my god, Wang Yugui thought to himself, he only survived on the third try, he is just a little bit better than me.

Then Wang said, "Mother, Xiaojie said that he also wants to be the top scholar like his uncle Chunsheng!"

Wang Yugui laughed again after hearing this: "Ha, Mom, he is just arrogant, he just said that, don't take it seriously"

"It would be great if he could pass the imperial examination. It would be hard for him to become the top scholar!"

The mother and daughter were talking when suddenly the little girl came to report: "Master, the mistress has woken up and is calling you!"

Wang Yugui was shocked when he heard this and asked hurriedly, "Is Madam okay?"

"No, it's okay," the little girl said hurriedly, and then smiled, "Master, Madam, I see that Madam seems to be in much better spirits now. She was just clamoring for food!"

Wang Yugui and Wang Shi laughed when they heard this. Wang Shi hurriedly urged her son, "Gui'er, Xi'er is calling you, go over and take a look."

"Tell her that I will go to see her in a while!"

"Oh, okay, Mom." Wang Yugui nodded, hurriedly got up and followed the little girl back to the backyard, only to see Miss Tan had already sat up, leaning on the bed drinking tea and eating snacks.

Wang Yugui was delighted when he saw this: "Sister Tan, you are awake now. How do you feel now? Are you feeling better?"

Miss Tan saw Wang Yugui coming and smiled at him: "Brother Gui, I feel much better now."

"I'm just really hungry and want to have some snacks!"

As he said this, he called out to Wang Yugui: "Brother Gui, come and have some too!"

After hearing this, Wang Yugui laughed again and thought to himself: It’s good that he knows I’m hungry and need to eat!

"Sister Tan, I'm not hungry, you eat first," Wang Yugui said as he walked over and sat next to Miss Tan. He looked at her tenderly, "I'll just watch you eat!"

"Ha, my dear brother, then I won't be polite to you." Miss Tan also laughed

This scene reminded Wang Yugui of the time when he first met Miss Tan and they had dinner together and had fun together.

Miss Tan ate while looking at Wang Yugui: "Brother Gui, you know, I had a dream when I fell asleep just now!"

"Oh, Sister Tan, it must be a good dream. What did you dream about?" Wang Yugui smiled and asked hurriedly.

Miss Tan took a sip of tea, frowned slightly, and then smiled: "I dreamed of my mother!"

When Wang Yugui heard this, he was shocked, because Mrs. Tan had passed away three years ago.

Why is Miss Tan dreaming about her mother at this moment?

Then I thought, oh, yes, people are very vulnerable when they are sick and uncomfortable, and they will think of their mothers.

"Oh, so you dreamed about your mother-in-law." Wang Yugui looked at Miss Tan with a smile: "Sister Tan, are you missing your mother?"

Miss Tan looked at Wang Yugui with her eyes blinking and nodded: "Yes, a little bit!"

Then he sighed and said, "Hey, this is the first time I've dreamed of my mother so clearly since she passed away!"

"Oh, did your mother-in-law say anything to you in your dream?" Wang Yugui frowned slightly.

Miss Tan's expression suddenly darkened and she shook her head slightly: "No, she didn't say a word to me, she just waved at me!"

Wang Yugui felt inexplicably uncomfortable after hearing this, and asked hurriedly: "Sister Tan, you must have seen it wrong, your mother-in-law was waving at you, right?"

"No, sir, I clearly remember her waving at me with a smile," Miss Tan said seriously.

Then he smiled and said, "When I was a kid, my mother always liked to smile and wave at me when she called me!"

After hearing what Miss Tan said, Wang Yugui felt a little better. Oh, so this was Miss Tan’s childhood memory.
