Chapter 2459 Xiao Family (2)

Old Madam Long saw Nan Hua's surprised look and laughed. "I am a doctor on the battlefield, Hua'er. I have seen far more than what other doctors could see in their entire life."

She might have retired after the war was over because she wanted to stay with her family more. But Old Madam Long never stopped her practice of medicine.

Day and night, she would spend her time researching medicine and taught her disciples.

Her medical skills were also acknowledged despite her being a woman by many people during Emperor Yang Zhou's grandfather's era. At that time, she was also highly respected and so on.

But afterwards...

Her husband died and Old Madam Long's desire to teach slowly diminished.

She wanted to spend more time with her grandchildren but these children each had their own ideas. One wanted to become a general like her son and the other one was messing around with poison.

Old Madam Long had seen it all and tried to help them.

But their end result was different.

Perhaps, one of the most difficult thing to do for many people who were very successful in their career was to be able to spend more time with their family. Because for them to build their career so high, they would have to spend countless time and effort to reach that stage.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for them to do it.

The end result was that they might not have enough time to spend with their family members.

How many generals could stay at home with their family members?

They were all busy on the frontline, fighting against the enemies and could only go home occasionally. When the war was intense, there was basically no chance for them to go back at all.

It was tiring.

But because they were living their dream, they felt that it was worth it.

Only after Old Madam Long grew older did she realize that she actually wanted to spend more time with her family members. But her son had grown up and her two grandchildren have their own ideas.

So she couldn't spend so much time with them.

It does feel a bit lonely.

Thankfully, Old Madam Long loves her granddaughter in law greatly and there was a period of time when Nan Hua could spend more time with her. This made Old Madam Long quite happy, which was why she wanted to beat up her own grandson back then because of some things related to Nan Hua.

Now that the two children are married, Old Madam Long spent a happy time when the two of them stayed behind.

But war made it impossible for them to stay in Cheng City for a long period of time. They had to go.

Old Madam Long sighed when she thought about this.

But she would not stop them from doing what they wanted to do. Because she knew very well that her children and grandchildren had their own lives. They have dream they wanted to achieve and also goals they wished to reached.

So what she could do was to stay and not make any trouble.

For this, Old Madam Long knew it. Besides, she was already old and making trouble was clearly not something she wanted to do. During this period of time, she planted more plants, something that she enjoyed to do when there was nothing else.

After all, planting plants could also help her to calm down and made her not think too much.

In her advance age, it was also a work that didn't consume too much physical strength.

"Yes, Grandma." Nan Hua smiled.

She understood what Old Madam Long was implying.

Constant fight on the battlefield would make people feel tired. Because they have to kill many people and put their own life on the line. They would have to be on guard almost all the time, which could easily weary their body and spirits.

For many people, that kind of state was not very good in long term.

So when these soldiers came back, they would be asked to do various mundane things. There were not many things that could be done in this era aside from farming for those peasant soldiers and for nobles, they could pay a visit to some entertainment businesses.

What Old Madam Long suggested was for Nan Hua to spend more time gardening. While it was simple, but it could help her adjust her mental state.

'But I don't really need it!

Nan Hua was trained under extreme condition in her past life. In that life, there was no so called adjustment for their mental state because what they wanted was tools who could be used to kill and not human beings.

So what if they were broken?

They would be thrown away.

If not for her retaining the last bit of her sanity and all, Nan Hua was sure that she would not survive until she received that mission and then buried alive.

Nan Hua didn't really need it.

But having a family who cares for her, Nan Hua also understood that there was no need for her to force herself to stay strong. There was no one to care for her in that life, but in this life, she has all the care she could ask for.

Grandparents who cared for her, a husband who pampered her.

It could be said that what Nan Hua could never dream of existed in this life.

'It'll be good if this could last forever!

"Do you need me to introduce the plants to you?" Old Madam Long asked. "I did some research and find some interesting plants that you might be able to use."

"Do tell me, Grandma," Nan Hua nodded.

While Nan I ua had vast knowledge of plants, she didn't mind listening to her grandmother telling more about it. In any case, she could supplement her knowledge

while listening.

"In that case, I'll start," Old Madam Long said happily and then started to tell more about these plants.
