Rebirth: My Mother is a Virgin Mary

Chapter 199 The illness comes like a mountain

Chengjia has a very high seniority in their village. If you meet an old man on the road, don't rush to address him/her. Maybe he/she will call me "Auntie"... It's the opposite in Lin's family. It's normal for Ms. Lin to call a baby who is just one month old uncle, so I'm not surprised to have such an aunt who is younger than me~

As soon as Ms. Lin called me "uncle", I knew who he was. He should be the youngest cousin of Ms. Lin's grandfather and the oldest living person in the Lin family. I heard about him when I was very young. It is said that my uncle's motivation to study medicine came from him, but I have never met him.

Judging from his age, he should be about the same age as my aunt, maybe even older than her. When I thought of the scene of my aunt calling him "uncle", I couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"What is this kid thinking about?" Grandpa asked me.

"No...hehe..." I scratched my head embarrassedly.

"From now on, talk less. Your throat will hurt after a while. This is normal." said Grandpa.

I nodded.

"Okay, uncle, I feel relieved knowing you are here. It's good that you come back. Anyway, it's close here and I can visit you often." Ms. Lin said.

"Why are you looking at me? I'm in good health, better than your older brother and sister. I can work in your uncle's clinic for another 20 years! Seniority is one thing, I'm only two years older than Hong Yatou, and a dozen years older than you. At over 60 years old, there's nothing I can't do!"

Ms. Lin and Grandpa were chatting happily outside, and the three of us were talking nonstop inside as well.

Qin Luotian asked me in a low voice: "Who is Hong Yatou?"

"My eldest aunt is Hongmei, my second aunt is Huangmei, my mother is Qingmei, and my youngest aunt is Baimei."

"Why is Third Aunt not here?" Qin Luotian asked again.

"Third Aunt is my mother!"

"Oh..." Qin Luotian smiled after reacting, "It's quite easy for your grandpa to name you."

"That's what happens when you have too many children." Cheng Xinyuan took over the conversation, "I often heard my eldest uncle talk about this young uncle before, but I didn't expect to see him today."

"Why?" Qin Luotian was puzzled. "I was just curious. From the way he addressed me, I knew he was my aunt's grandfather's younger brother. We are indeed relatives, so we should have met before. But when we first came here, we didn't know each other.

"He worked as a rural doctor in a small border town in his early years." I explained, "My uncle studied medicine because of him. Even though we are of similar age, my uncle respects him very much! Everyone on my grandmother's side respects him very much!"

"Frontier doctor, so great!" Qin Luotian cast a look of admiration. "Did you come back after retirement?"

I thought about it and said, "No, it's been a while since I came back. Didn't you hear him say that he went to Guangzhou? I remember my uncle told me that my great-grandfather's second daughter and her family have a Chinese medicine clinic in Guangzhou, so my great-grandfather went there to help them."

"This clinic belongs to the old family. The whole family practices medicine! A family of doctors, awesome!" Qin Luotian changed the subject and said in a teasing tone: "I think the aunt who is younger than you is also studying medicine~"

"You have to call me auntie too!" Cheng Xinyuan refused to give in. "My mom has acknowledged you as her godson, so you have to follow us in calling her auntie!"

Qin Luotian smiled: "Okay~"

At this time, Zizi brought in a bowl of dumplings: "Come, niece, eat them while they're hot! These are stuffed with zucchini and vegetarian ingredients. I made them myself. They're perfect for when you're sick!"

The way she addressed me was really hilarious, and I tried hard to hold back my laughter: "Aunt Zizi, my name is Cheng Lin."

"Cheng...Lin..." She whispered, "This name is really nice, I will call you Lin Lin then!" She looked at Cheng Xinyuan, who was too embarrassed to call her aunt, and just said, "My name is Cheng Xinyuan."

"Then I'll call you Yuanyuan!" She looked at Qin Luotian again, and Cheng Xinyuan said first: "His name is Tiantian!"

Qin Luotian rolled his eyes at Cheng Xinyuan.

"Lin Lin, Yuan Yuan, Tian Tian~ Hehe, that's great! I have so many nephews all of a sudden!" Zi Zi was very happy.

"There is another source at home, an endless source of water, guarding the door." Cheng Xinyuan said again.

"Oh, by the way, there are dumplings in the pot. Do you two want to eat some?" Zizi asked.

"It's delicious! Try it!" I nodded and fed one to Cheng Xinyuan and Qin Luotian respectively. "Aunt Zizi, did you make this yourself?"

"I don't have the ability to do that. Your great-grandfather made it. He's a great cook! He learned it when he was a traveling doctor."

"Auntie! I want to eat!" Cheng Xinyuan ate a dumpling and even called out "Auntie".

"Wait, I'll serve it to you two!" This clinic has two floors. The first floor is the clinic and the second floor is the living area, which is similar to our home.

"My cooking skills are nothing compared to my great-grandfather..." I said while eating.

Qin Luotian quickly stopped him: "Put the bowl down! There's still a needle in your hand, aren't you afraid of bleeding?"

"Healing?" Grandpa heard the key words and rushed over with a sword.

“No…” I immediately put the bowl down, looking guilty again.

“Are there enough dumplings? If not, ask your aunt to cook more.” Although it was the first time we met, after this brief contact, it was obvious that grandpa had already treated us as his own children.

“That’s enough!” I nodded. “The dumplings are really delicious, but to be honest, I can’t eat too much.”

"That's normal. You'll have to lose a few pounds in the next few days. Anyway, it's close, so come over if you want to eat anything, and Grandpa will make it for you."

"How many more pounds do you want to lose? You're already so thin!" Qin Luotian asked worriedly.

"It's okay, I'll come back when I recover." Grandpa said with a smile.

In Cheng Xinyuan's words, it's a good thing that I was born with this disease, otherwise how could I have met such a treasure grandfather.

Then he was kicked by Ms. Lin.

"That's my uncle. Even if we don't keep in touch, we'll meet sooner or later. Why are you cursing your sister here?"

Cheng Xinyuan dodged and admitted his mistake: "Mom! Mom! Mom! I was wrong! I didn't mean that!"

Yao Yuan came out when he heard us coming back, "Sister, how do you feel?"

I pointed at my throat and didn't say anything. The fever had gone down, but my throat started to hurt. Even a slight cough hurt, let alone talking.

"Grandpa told her to talk less and to get better by hanging the drip for another day tomorrow!" Cheng Xinyuan explained.

Yao Yuan was confused: "Grandpa?"

Cheng Xinyuan grabbed him and said, "I'll explain it to you when we get back to the house."

Yao Yuan turned around and said to Ms. Lin, "Aunt, I sold a piece of clothing at the price you marked. Has the money been paid?"

"I got it, look how great our Xiaoyuan is! I'll use the money to treat you to a big dinner tonight!" Ms. Lin took me upstairs and let me go to bed without asking for anything. "I'll boil the water and pour it into your thermos. Just get some sleep. Your body is at its weakest right now. I thought you wouldn't be hungry after eating the dumplings, so I won't call you for dinner. Just get some sleep and sleep until tomorrow morning!"

I nodded obediently. The illness came like a mountain, and I just felt exhausted.

The electric fan was turned to the lowest speed and set a timer. After seeing that I had taken the medicine and arranged everything, Ms. Lin touched my head before going downstairs.

This illness came suddenly, but if you think about it carefully, it was not without warning.

Since the night I drank and ate fried chicken, I haven’t had a light meal, and I haven’t had a night without staying up late… roast duck, popcorn, barbecue, and various drinks… I kept the air conditioner on in the dormitory for a long time, and there was no air conditioner when I was packing in the rental house. The cold and heat plus the stimulation of food… I played crazy for so long in the ancient street last night, ate a lot of messy things, and was disturbed so much at night that I couldn’t sleep well…

My physical condition is already bad... If I don't get sick, who will?

Reviewing is like hypnosis. I fell into a deep sleep amid the sound of the electric fan...
