Before she could finish speaking, Uncle Sun had already come over to take his pulse.

Yu Youyao could only shut up and stare at Uncle Sun nervously.

After taking her pulse, Uncle Sun asked, “Did you stand up just now?”

Zhou Linghuai nodded. “Only for a moment.”

Uncle Sun gasped. This kid was too rash. He stood up just like that without any preparation?!

At the very least, he had to call him over.

Although he had already been treated for three sessions, today was the fourth session. According to his pulse, the feeling in his legs had already recovered and he could try to stand.

He was talking about trying!

He hadn’t wanted this kid to be so insistent and really stood up in an instant.

He had originally planned to let Zhou Linghuai try to stand on the fourth treatment. After seven days, he should be able to stand up. On the fifth treatment, he could hold something and try to walk.

On the sixth treatment, he could walk on his own.

After the seventh treatment, Zhou Linghuai could train his muscles and bones to recover in his legs.

But it was only the first day of the fourth treatment, and he was already standing?

Wasn’t it a little too fast?

After all, Uncle Sun was someone who had seen many storms. He suppressed the surprise in his heart and asked, “Is there anything wrong with your body?”

Yu Youyao immediately held her breath.

Zhou Linghuai frowned. “My legs hurt when I was standing. I’m a little exhausted now, but I don’t feel any other discomfort.”

He really mentioned leg pain casually. Was that just leg pain? Uncle Sun was speechless. “Open your mouth and let’s take a look.”

Zhou Linghuai originally wanted to ignore him, but when he saw Yu Youyao’s pale face and nervous expression, he could only open his mouth.

Uncle Sun leaned closer to take a look, then nodded. “There’s nothing wrong with his pulse. He used too much strength, causing his body to be weak and exhausted. Next time, before you practice standing, bite a ball of cotton wool in your mouth to prevent your teeth from bleeding again.”

Yu Youyao suddenly heaved a sigh of relief, still feeling worried. “Is Cousin’s health really fine? The way he stood just now was too scary…”

Uncle Sun loved and hated this girl who liked to question him. He rolled his eyes. “This will happen sooner or later. After what happened today, it’ll be easier next time. Why are you crying? Your cousin has been in a wheelchair for five to six years. Shouldn’t you be happy now that he’s finally standing up? No matter how bad he is at it, can it be worse than him paralyzed in a wheelchair? As expected, you’re still too young. You’re inexperienced and panicked when he encountered something.”

Yu Youyao felt a little relieved and asked, “Cousin seems to be…”

Uncle Sun glared at him angrily. “He’s just exhausted. He’ll be fine after resting for a while. Are you the doctor or am I? Since you’re worried, why don’t you learn medicine yourself and treat your cousin’s leg?”

Yu Youyao knew that she was in the wrong and quickly shut up.

If she had met her cousin three years earlier, she would definitely have learned medicine herself and treated his legs.

After confirming repeatedly that Zhou Linghuai was fine, Uncle Sun left angrily.

Yu Youyao called Chang An in again and helped her cousin clean up again. Seeing that her cousin’s expression had softened a lot, she finally felt a sense of security.

What followed was indescribable excitement and joy.

She knew that this was only the first step, and she was also worried that she would be too agitated and pressure her cousin, so she suppressed the joy in her heart bit by bit.

Yu Youyao poured a cup of warm water with spiritual dewdrop and handed it to her cousin. “Congratulations on standing up again, Cousin.”

Although Yu Youyao tried her best to appear calm, Zhou Linghuai still saw the joy in her sparkling eyes. He smiled. “Thank you!”

After drinking the water mixed with spiritual dewdrop, Zhou Linghuai felt much better.

Chang An brought over pineapples.

The yellow flesh was cut into small pieces. It looked bright and beautiful. Even from afar, Zhou Linghuai could smell it, making him drool.

This was much sourer than cherry oranges. Zhou Linghuai frowned and was about to refuse.

Yu Youyao picked up a piece of fruit and brought it to his lips. “Cousin, this is pineapple. Although it tastes sour and sweet, it’s good to try it.”

Zhou Linghuai refused in his heart, but his body was still very honest. He opened his mouth and ate the pineapple that made his teeth ache. Sourness rushed to his face, and blood rushed to his face.

Just one piece and he couldn’t eat anymore.

After drinking two gla.s.ses of water, he suppressed the faint soreness between his teeth.

Yu Youyao giggled and did not force him to continue eating. Instead, she secretly ate a small plate of pineapples one by one.

After that, Yu Youyao said to her cousin. “There are already results from the planting of the sweet potatoes. There’s a drought in spring this year, and the weather isn’t good. I plan to plant all the remaining sweet potatoes in the fields. In May, I’ll try to use the cutting method. The vine leaves and stems of the sweet potatoes can be eaten by humans and animals. Moreover, there are many vines and leaves, so it’s more cost-effective than ordinary crops.”

Zhou Linghuai nodded. “We’ll also plant them on a large scale in the North. We’ll do as you say.”

Yu Youyao tried to plant sweet potatoes mainly to solve the problem of the lack of supplies in the North.

In the first year, the sweet potatoes were planted in the manor in the capital. She arranged for a few old servants from the King’s Residence who were good at farming to bring a portion of the sweet potatoes back to Youzhou to test the seeds.

Every year, there would be merchant ships bringing foreign crop seeds back to the Great Zhou.

Every year, the Imperial Court would distribute new seeds and encourage them to be planted. However, there were very few that were really alive. Even if they were planted, they would not grow well because of the various problems of acclimatization.

At first, Yu Youyao wanted to try planting sweet potatoes. Although Zhou Linghuai was very supportive, he did not take it too seriously.

Until the sweet potatoes grew in the North successfully.

Only then did Zhou Linghuai realize that he prided himself on being knowledgeable but in terms of sensitivity to agriculture and general affairs, he was far inferior to Yu Youyao.

Zhou Linghuai wanted to promote the planting of sweet potatoes in the North, but sweet potatoes were controlled items in Luzon and could not be traded. There were also very few merchant ships that could be brought back in private, so they could not be planted on a large scale.

Yu Youyao could only get the people in the manor to improve the planting of sweet potatoes.

In the end, he discovered that the sweet potatoes that were about to sprout had been cut and planted. Only then did the yield increase greatly, and there were some sweet potatoes left behind that could be planted.

This year’s planting should be quite impressive.

Next year, it would not be a problem to promote it on a large scale.

Yu Youyao chuckled. “Last year, cotton was also planted in the North. As the climate was not suitable, the seedlings were planted a little late, so the cotton did not bloom well. This year, the seedlings were planted early in March, so they should be able to be planted on a large scale. With cotton and sweet potatoes, everything in the North will become better..”
