1960s: My Birth Mother Abandoned Me on the Road to Escape Famine

Qin Qing, a graduating student, was rushing to finish her thesis late at night when she stumbled and fell, only to wake up in the 1960s, right in the midst of a great famine. Completely disoriented...

Chapter 330 Good News

The next morning.

As soon as the sky began to brighten, Zhu Lihua and her husband rushed to the town.

Old Mrs. Lu got up early, took her backpack and went to the mountain to cut wild mugwort.

It is said that on the Dragon Boat Festival, all the medicinal properties of herbs are at their peak.

Cut the herbs while they are still covered with morning dew.

It is said that hanging it on the eaves of a house can ward off evil spirits and insects.

If used to boil water for bathing, it can dispel cold and dampness and protect health.

Old Lady Lu glanced at her eldest grandson who was following closely behind her and said, "It's a rare day off. Why don't you stay home and sleep a little longer to accompany your wife? Why are you following me up the mountain?"

Goudan threw a piece of Artemisia absinthium that was still damp from his grandmother's hand into his backpack.

Hearing this, she smiled and said, "With me helping you carry the things, you can pick more, grandma!"

Old Lady Lu feigned anger and said, "Why? Do you think I'm useless and can't even carry things, so I rely on you."

"Grandma, that's not what I meant..."

Goudan has always been not good at speaking, and at this moment he blushed at the sharp questions from Old Lady Lu.

It seems like he's about to become a father, but he's still so naive.

Fortunately, he met Zhong Xiaolan, who also has a good temper, otherwise who knows how this kid would be treated.

Just look at Qin Zegang and you will know.

No matter how smart you are before marriage, you will still become a fool after marriage. This shows how important it is to find the right wife.

"Oh, how could grandma not know who you are? Follow closely, let's go to that hilltop and take a look. Old Lady Shi said there's a lot of old mugwort there. We should cut some, dry it, and use it for Xiaolan during her confinement. A woman's health depends entirely on that one month, so we can't be careless!"

She had suffered this loss.

When you are young, your body is normal.

Now my lumbar spine hurts.

If Qing Baoer hadn't explained it to her, she would have thought that her old bones were useless.

Who knew that it was the hardship he suffered when he was young.

They have all been through this, and it is unavoidable, but the younger generation in the family is still young, so if it can be avoided, it should be avoided.

Looking at Old Lady Lu's hunched figure, she was walking among the grass and trees, her trouser legs already wet with dew.

The big palm holding the sickle had already cracked with old wounds.

Gully cracks spread along the palm lines.

His steps were not as agile as they had been in the past few days, but he was still worried about everyone in his family.

Goudan felt a pang of sadness in his heart.

He grabbed the old woman's sickle and walked ahead, saying, "Grandma, tell me which tree you like and I'll cut it. You just watch!"

"Oh, you really treat me as an old disabled person. I'd rather do it myself than order you around!" Old Mrs. Lu smiled and stretched out her hand, expecting her grandson to return the things.

Unfortunately, the Zao in front of her was no longer a child.

Goudan raised his hands high, just like when an old man teased him when he was a child, and said helplessly, "Just listen to me..."

Looking at his grandson who is more than a head taller than him.

Only then did Mrs. Lu start to feel old. She lowered her hands and said perfunctorily, "It's up to you. You have the final say, Ruoxi!"

The tone was slightly emotional and tinged with sadness.

Goudan smiled and said lightly, "You still have the final say in our family..."

Old Mrs. Lu looked at Goudan who was running in front of her with a sickle, and was so angry that she blew her beard and glared.

This brat, why is he saying one thing and thinking another?

When Qin Qing got up, Old Lady Lu had already disappeared.
