Chapter 121: Dreamed Again
“It must be because of Xiao Xiao. Look, Xiao Xiao called last night and the Ding family’s reply came today. It must be Young Master Ding who persuaded Old Master Ding.”
“Xiao Xiao did well this time and deserves praise! She is a great contributor!”
He had been worried that there wouldn’t be any prominent guests at his birthday party this time. Now that Old Master Ding could come, he would be able to shock everyone.
Cheng Xiao could only agree after hearing what Old Master Cheng and Xie Wan said.
“Ding Yu is easy to talk to.”
At this time, Xie Wan hurriedly said, “How is he easy to talk to? I heard from the others that Ding Yu doesn’t care about anyone at school. It must be because he has a good relationship with you that he agreed.”
Cheng Xiao smiled and took the credit.
After all, she couldn’t think of any other reason for the Ding family to reply.
While the Cheng family was happy, Xie Ying was worried.
“Ling Ling, what do you think we should give Old Master Cheng for his birthday? We don’t have anything to give him.”
Cheng Ling had just returned home when she saw Xie Ying pacing anxiously in the room.
Mi Duo stood aside with a helpless expression.
“Grandma, don’t be anxious.”
“How can I not be anxious? There are only two days left. If we can’t come up with a decent gift by then, I don’t know how Old Master Cheng is going to make things difficult for you.”
Cheng Ling didn’t care.
Recently, the weather had started to warm up again. She was now only wearing a short-sleeved school uniform. She tied her hair into a bun. Her skin was fair, and her exposed ankles were slim. She looked clean and fresh.
“It’s up to us to give anything, and it’s his problem if he accepts it or not. We just have to do our best.”
Cheng Ling put down her school bag and went to the room where she stored the vegetables and herbs. She stayed in the small cubicle filled with Chinese medicine for a while, and then took out a few bags of things.
These things were wrapped in transparent bags. Thus one could see some dried flowers and herbs inside.
Xie Ying took it over and smelled it. The fragrance was very good, which was a faint smell of Chinese medicine. After smelling it, it would give people peace of mind.
“Ling Ling, what is this?”
“Nothing, it’s just a teabag.”
Although it was a teabag, there was a medicinal herb inside that was very expensive. It was selling for millions of yuan per kilogram in the market.
Moreover, this kind of herb was very difficult to grow. Cheng Ling had only successfully developed a suitable cultivating method two years ago. Now, she only had a few kilograms in her collection.
When she talked to Old Master Cheng in the field last time, she noticed that Old Master Cheng must have caught a cold recently and he was a little weak. Thus she specially made this tea for him.
An ordinary person could feel good after drinking it. For a sick person like Old Master Cheng, it will cure his illness after drinking.
Xie Ying knew that Cheng Ling knew a little about medicine. Such a gift might be valuable in her eyes. But in Old Master Cheng’s eyes…
Cheng Ling saw Xie Ying’s expression and knew that if she didn’t have a decent gift, Xie Ying would continue to worry.
“Grandma, if you’re worried, I’ll go out tomorrow and bring back two bottles of good wine.”
Old Master Cheng’s health wasn’t good, and he didn’t like to drink. However, he liked to collect wine. This could be a good gift. Xie Ying nodded.
Thinking of going to the field the next day, Cheng Ling went to bed very early.
However, Cheng Ling was dreaming again. This time, the father and mother did not appear, but an unexpected person, Lu Qi.
What made Cheng Ling even more curious was that the Lu Qi in the dream was not the same as he was now. He was younger and inexperienced.
At that time, he had not fully grown yet. However, his temperament was enough to make people unable to take their eyes off him.
Cheng Ling was not as tall and thin as she was now. In the dream, she looked young, but she was only eleven or twelve years old. Her face was still chubby and had some baby fat.
The young man, Lu Qi, was probably sick. His face was pale as he was lying on the bed.
In the dream, Cheng Ling gave Lu Qi a bowl of medicine to drink.
However, before Lu Qi could swallow it, he began to vomit blood.
Cheng Ling was awakened from the dream by a large amount of blood.
When Cheng Ling opened her eyes, she was panting heavily.
She felt her eyes covered with the blood.
She took a sip of water. The cold water brushed past her throat and made her feel a little more awake.
She got out of bed and pulled open the curtains. She realized that the sky had already turned white.
