Chapter 102.5: Drunk, Someone From Back Home Is Here (5)

“Next year when Xiuheng gets married, we’ll bring Mother back.”
“Mm, let’s wait and see how Mother feels then. If she wants to come back, just send her back.” Du Yunhan said, “Then let’s go see Mother now. These two days it’s been snowing heavily so Mother has been staying in her yard and hasn’t come out yet.”
“Sure, let’s go.”
They arrived at Old Madam Du’s courtyard, who was thrilled upon seeing her two sons arrive. It had already been two years since she had originally seen them.
“Greetings, Mother.” Du Yunfei and Du Yunming knelt in front of Old Madam Du.
“Third Son, Youngest Son, hurry and get up. When did you all come over?” Old Madam Du asked excitedly.
“Mother, we only just got here.” Third Du replied, “We heard that this year it’s especially cold up north, so we wanted to bring you back home for the winter.
“You all are here to bring me back?” Old Madam Du asked with some surprise.
“Yes, we came here especially to pick Mother up for the New Year,” Fourth Du replied.
“Ah, good, good.” Old Madam Du responded, “I’ve also wanted to go back to see that old man’s grave and sweep the ancestral hall. Otherwise, when my time comes, my ancestors won’t even let me enter the ancestral hall!”
“Mother, what are you saying, you’ll definitely live to a hundred years!” Zhong Meiqing said.
“Yes, Grandmother is still in excellent health!” Du Kexin added.
“Alas, I know this body of mine the best– I can’t hold on for much longer. I will be content as long as I can see all of you get married,” Old Madam Du sighed.
“Mother, Third Brother and Fifth Brother are coming over. Let’s just talk about happy matters, why speak of these things,” Du Yunhan said.
“Yes, what’s the point of talking about these things.” Old Madam Du wiped a tear from the corner of her eye, saying, “It’s rare for you all to come over. Let’s all have lunch in my courtyard today.”
“Okay!” Du Yunhan and the others nodded in agreement.
“Then I’ll go pass on the orders to the kitchen.” Zhong Meiqing said, as she brought the maids away with her.
Old Madam Du chatted with her sons for a while, and Du Yunhan had Du Xiaoli examine her body again.
Du Xiaoli took Old Madam Du’s pulse, saying, “Grandma is in good health. If you want to travel a long distance, just make sure to say warm and out of the cold and you’ll be fine. Grandma, lately have you been following the diet I prescribed last time?”
“Yes, following your recommendations, I’ve felt my dizziness and tightness in my chest lessen quite a bit,” Old Madam Du said.
“Mm, that’s good.” Du Xiaoli responded, “It’s not good for your body at this age if you consume too much greasy food. Grandma, when you go back home later, make sure to maintain this!”
“Last time when you passed on the massage to those maids, they learned it quite well. Now when they massage me, it’s very comfortable.” Old Madam Du said with a smile.
“It’s good that it feels comfortable. Massaging those pressure points can not only relieve fatigue in your body, it can also help nourish your health and daily life. These are all good for your body, this way you’ll definitely live to a hundred years!” Du Xiaoli said.
“Haha, I’ve heard that Niece’s medical skills are excellent. I have a few old ailments, can I trouble you to examine them?” Du Yunfei said with a grin.
“Okay!” Du Xiaoli did not shirk his request and went to the seat next to Du Yunfei to take his pulse. After taking his pulse on both sides, she withdrew her hands, and said, “Third Uncle had an injury on his left hand in the past, but you didn’t recuperate properly. Now there are chronic lingering effects so whenever it rains, your hand hurts, right?”
“Hahaha, you’re very accurate! It couldn’t be that your father told you this, right?” Du Yunfei said with traces of disbelief.
“This is not what Father told me, this what your body tells me.” Du Xiaoli continued, “It’s somewhat troublesome to treat this old ailment of yours, but it’s not entirely impossible. I’ll treat you with a few acupuncture needles in your arm in the afternoon and then write two prescriptions for you. When you go back, get the medicine and take it regularly for a month and you should be fine.”
“Really? I previously went to see several doctors, but none of them could treat this ailment of mine. If I can really be cured of it, I’ll have to thank you deeply!” Du Yunfei exclaimed.
“Third Uncle is exaggerating, Xiaoli is just helping check your body, I don’t need any thanks.” Du Xiaoli said.
“Ha, Niece, come check your Youngest Uncle’s body and see how it is.” Seeing Du Xiaoli’s extreme accuracy, Du Yunming beckoned for her to come over.
Du Xiaoli went over and took his pulse as well. “Youngest Uncle doesn’t have any major problems, it’s just that you like to drink, right? Overconsumption of alcohol hurts the liver, so you’ve had excessive inflammation and some digestive problems. Youngest Uncle, you don’t need any medicine, just stop drinking.”
“Haha, it’s just like you said, your Youngest Uncle just loves good wine. I don’t think I can bear to stop drinking.” Du Yunming said.
“Then just drink less. I’ll also give you some remedies to relieve your inflammation and digestion. Other than that, just be aware of your diet,” Du Xiaoli said with a smile.
“Then I’ll trouble Niece to do so.”
“Haha, Xiaoli’s medical skill lives up to its reputation, that time…”
Old Madam Du and her sons chatted happily. Everyone surrounded Du Xiaoli with praise and dancing, and the two uncles continuously complimented her medical skills. Du Kexin, however, sitting to the side, clenched her handkerchief, pretending it was Du Xiaoli.
One day, she would definitely trample her under her feet and show her who the true daughter of heaven was!References 1. — there’s really no English equivalent for this form of address so it comes across very awkward– just know that the numbers (third, fourth, etc.) refer to the siblings’ age; ex. Third Du = the third oldest Du brother 2. — "the daughter of heaven" is similar to the more Western “it girl” or “that girl” trends or the "Mary Sue" character :p MoonWhisperer, skyrise's Thoughts
