"I'll get her household registration book," Lin Lan said, going inside to retrieve Lin Yuezhen's book. She handed it to Li Xiangyang for him to take to Xiuyun to get the certificate issued. "Your bike is at the alley entrance by the vehicle factory. Just ride mine back."
Lin Yuezhen placed the freshly steamed buns into an enamel mug, wrapped it in a towel, and handed it to Li Xiangyang.
"Thanks, Yuezhen!" Li Xiangyang put the buns into his satchel, then ruffled Little Douzi's head. "Make sure you eat up."
"Okay!" Little Douzi replied thoughtfully. "Ride carefully, Uncle Xiangyang."
Li Xiangyang went home, and Lin Lan brought some buns to the old woman, telling her that Lin Yuezhen was going to the provincial capital to see a doctor the next day.
The old woman patted Lin Lan's hand. "Yuezhen is blessed to have met a good sister like you. Once she's better, she should find a good man while she's still young and have a child or two. Then her life won't have been lived in vain."
