Chapter 907: Chapter 909 Harmonious and Joyful

Tang Rong thought about it, her mother was probably going through menopause. She hadn’t seen anyone around her experiencing menopause before. She remembered watching a TV drama before, something like Adolescent Meets Menopause, and if these two phases coincided, then this home would really be unbearable. That temper really flares up easily. She wondered if her mother was as exaggerated as portrayed on TV.

Nevertheless, Tang Rong was quite glad she had already grown up. If she were in her adolescence now, life would really be hard to bear.

So, she asked Xiao Yifei, saying, "You’re a doctor, could you prescribe some medication for menopause treatment for me?"

Xiao Yifei looked at Tang Rong for a good while before saying, "You’re hitting menopause so early, how come this doctor didn’t realize it?"

"Xiao Yifei, go to hell, you can’t say anything good, can you? It’s my mom. My dad says her temper has been very bad lately, but I don’t know the specifics." Tang Rong said angrily, embarrassed.

"Then why don’t you ask Auntie to come here one day, so I can check her condition and treat accordingly!" Xiao Yifei suggested. Without understanding the severity of the condition, it’s hard to treat it!

"I’m really afraid to provoke my mom now. She usually doesn’t like coming over to my place, and now she’s even less willing. I haven’t called her in days, just afraid she might scold me. And who dares to mention menopause around her now? Just thinking about it is terrifying," Tang Rong said, showing she was quite afraid of her mom.

Xiao Yifei thought for a bit, "In that case, you can adjust her diet a little, have her eat more light foods. For many ailments, food therapy is very effective. Meanwhile, menopause, in the strict sense, isn’t a disease. It’s just a transitional phase of body function, and with proper care, there’s no big issue."

"You could make her some porridge, with lotus seeds, dried longan, and some rock candy. Or cook black fungus with rice, adjust it with chopped dates, and add rock candy. These recipes help replenish blood and reduce pressure, nourish the Yin and stomach, and harmonize the Qi."

"Then I’ll go visit my mom after work tonight, it’s been a while since I went home," Tang Rong said.

After work that evening, Tang Rong bought some groceries from the supermarket and went back to her parents’ house.

Sure enough, as soon as Tang Rong stepped in, she could feel the tense atmosphere.

"Look at the floor I just mopped, and you’ve already stepped on it with dirt," Tang Rong’s mother said angrily.

"Weren’t you the one who asked me to get something from the kitchen? If I don’t walk on the floor, should I fly over?" Tang Rong’s father retorted.

The most awkward was Tang Rong, who had just changed her shoes. She heard their conversation just as she took a step forward with one foot, and didn’t know what to do. What if she dirtied the floor by walking forward?

"What are you still standing there for? You’re home; hurry up and come in! Are you waiting for us to welcome you?" Tang Rong’s mother said, her temper flaring upon seeing Tang Rong just standing there. She felt like no one in this family gave her any peace of mind.

Tang Rong opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but seeing her father’s expression, she decided against it. She understood well that the one who held the voice of authority at home was mother. No matter how much he spoke, he could never outtalk his mother.

"Mom, let’s have porridge tonight. I’ll go cook it." Without waiting for her mother to reply, Tang Rong slipped into the kitchen. She was afraid if she delayed even a second, her mom would start on her again. Maybe that’s just how menopausal people are, finding fault with everything they see.

Tang Rong’s cooking skills were praised even by her mother. Soon, the kitchen was filled with the aroma of rice porridge, accompanied by the subtle herbal scent of lotus seeds and longan. After it was done, adding a few pieces of rock candy, the sweet aroma filled Tang Rong’s nostrils, and she felt enveloped in a sweet atmosphere.

Seeing Tang Rong’s mom, who had been watching TV in the living room, being drawn to the kitchen by the fragrance, Tang Rong felt a slight ease seeing her mother seemed quite pleased.

Tang Rong’s mother drank a whole big bowl and praised Tang Rong: "My girl, this porridge is simply delicious. I haven’t had much appetite these days, but today I’ve finally had a good meal."

"Mom, since you like it, you should eat more. If you like it, I’ll come by more often to cook it for you." Seeing her mother’s mood finally calm down, Tang Rong said happily. It didn’t seem as serious as her father described, perhaps her mother was simply annoyed by her father, Tang Rong guessed internally.

This lotus seed soothes the heart and benefits the kidneys, clears heat and calms the mind, and moistens the lungs. Longan is warm and sweet, benefiting the heart and spleen, very effective for insomnia caused by deficiency of Qi and blood, and damage to the heart and spleen.

Sure enough, after watching the TV for over half an hour, her mom said she was sleepy and went to bed. The living room was left to Tang Rong and her father, and since Tang Rong and her father rarely stayed alone together, an awkward atmosphere hovered in the living room. Neither knew what to say.

So Tang Rong’s father broke the silence first, saying, "Did you put some medicine in your mother’s meal? She used to stay up very late before going to bed and said she couldn’t sleep when asked to go to bed early. Today is really strange. I’m also feeling sleepy!"

Tang Rong’s father let out a big yawn.

"There’s no medicine. I asked a friend who studies Chinese Medicine, and they said food therapy is quite effective, so I made porridge for you guys to see how it works. It seems quite effective."

Actually, Tang Rong hadn’t told her father that the porridge was meant for treating menopause, and he ended up drinking a lot of it, now yawning frequently.

"Dad, you’d better go to bed early too, you look really sleepy," Tang Rong said.

"Why didn’t you tell me earlier this was to treat menopause? It’s your fault for making it taste so good, I drank a lot of it! I’ll go to bed then. I’ll take you to work tomorrow morning," Tang Rong’s father said. Although he wanted to chat a bit more with his daughter, he was indeed too sleepy.

Opportunities for Tang Rong and her father to sit down and chat calmly like this were rare. To be precise, Tang Rong never gave her father a chance. Initially, whenever her father came home, she pretended not to see him, pretended not to hear what he said, and didn’t show him a good face. noveldrama

Later, as their relationship eased up, an awkwardness persisted between them. They missed the best time to build a bond, leaving them unsure of what to say later. Then, Tang Rong started working, became busier, and seldomly went home. Occasionally, they would make a phone call, but it would end after a few words.

Now, sitting in her father’s car, neither spoke, and there seemed to be nothing to say. Tang Rong thus lowered her head to play on her phone, then heard her father suddenly say, "Rongrong, I know I’ve wronged you over these years. It hasn’t been easy for you either."
