Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
At the prospect of regaining her sight, it would be far from truthful to suggest that Grandma Qin didn’t brim with excitement. She clutched Qin Zhenzhen’s hand tightly and expressed her gratitude, saying, “Zhenzhen, thank you!”
Grandma Qin was convinced that her glimmer of hope to see the light again was primarily due to Qin Zhenzhen’s unique abilities. This thought had been growing within her for some time.
Over time, Grandma Qin had noticed a peculiar sensation whenever Qin
Zhenzhen massaged her. She could distinctly feel a fluid trickling into her eyes. She had questioned Qin Zhenzhen about it once, but Qin Zhenzhen had fibbed, telling her it was a type of potion.
Initially, Grandma Qin had believed her granddaughter’s explanation.
However, as time went on, she grew skeptical. She could detect the subtle fragrance that accompanied the mysterious liquid that rejuvenated her eyes every day, a fragrance that was distinctly Qin Zhenzhen’s own.
She couldn’t help but reflect on the various condiments sold, especially her remarkable soy sauce, and how she miraculously healed the governor’s mother’s back pain. The quick recovery from severe illnesses under Qin Zhenzhen’s care only deepened her suspicion. There had to be a connection between this mysterious elixir for her eyes and Qin Zhenzhen’s abilities.
Despite her curiosity, Grandma Qin restrained herself from pressing the matter further. She knew she had to wait until she could actually see the light once more before broaching the subject with caution.
Three months passed, and one fateful morning, Qin Zhenzhen decided it was time to remove her grandma’s blindfold. The entire household gathered, eager to witness this potentially magical moment.
Grandma Qin settled into a chair in the courtyard, and Qin Zhenzhen, with great care, began to lift the blindfold.
“Grandma, there’s no need to fear. You’re currently shielded from direct sunlight. Open your eyes gradually and savor the moment.”
Grandma Qin hesitated with closed eyes, her anxiety palpable. She had previously attempted to open her eyes in the darkness, aware that her vision had returned, but the idea of confronting the brilliant light all at once was daunting.
“Grandma, please, open your eyes!” Qin Zhenzhen’s gentle encouragement finally persuaded Grandma Qin to cautiously unveil her eyes.
Before her stood Qin Zhenzhen, her beautiful face magnified in Grandma Qin’s newfound vision.
Observing her grandma’s gaze fixed on her, Qin Zhenzhen asked with joy,
“Grandma, it’s me, Zhenzhen. Can you see my face clearly?”
Tears welled up in Grandma Qin’s eyes before she could respond.
Around the second month of Qin Zhenzhen’s massage sessions, tears began to flow freely.
Grandma Qin reached out and held Qin Zhenzhen’s face tenderly. “I can see you perfectly, my dear. You are absolutely beautiful. Your face!”
Qin Zhenzhen playfully retorted, “Well, of course, it is! I take after you, Grandma! ”
A warm smile spread across Grandma Qin’s face. “Such sweet words!”
Qin Silong approached and squatted down, his eyes glistening with emotion. “Grandma, it’s me, the fourth child, Qin Silong!”
Grandma Qin released Qin Zhenzhen’s face and exclaimed joyfully, “I had no idea the Fourth Brother was so handsome!”
Qin Silong chuckled. “Grandma, you always said I resemble Grandpa. Are you indirectly praising Grandpa’s good looks?”
Qin Zhenzhen tugged at Fourth Brother’s clothing, indicating he might have misspoken.
Grandma Qin burst into hearty laughter. “Well, perhaps that’s true!” Regrettably, she had never laid eyes on her late husband.
As she reminisced about the husband who had been her most devoted companion, Grandma Qin’s eyes welled up once more. Alas, he had departed this world ahead of her.
Only then did Qin Silong realize his earlier slip of words.
Thankfully, Grandma Qin didn’t dwell on it too much.
Qin Zhenzhen and Qin Silong assisted Grandma to her feet.
Next, Su Bin took his turn to introduce himself. “Grandma, I’m Su Bin,
Zhenzhen’s husband, and your grandson-in-law.”
Grandma Qin was well aware that Su Bin and Qin Zhenzhen’s marital arrangement was not genuine, yet she greeted Su Bin with a warm smile.
With a hint of jest, she remarked, “Among this fine company, my grandson-in-law is the most handsome, I must say. Yes, he might even surpass Zhenzhen in looks!”
Su Bin didn’t feel uneasy; instead, he held Qin Zhenzhen’s hand and replied,
“Thank you, Grandma.”
Subsequently, Su Ning and the others took turns introducing themselves one by one..
