He'll have to play it by ear when the time comes. He's prepared to either die or escape!

——

After Lu Zhixia and Zhou An'an finished packing, they set off for the shopping mall next door.

While waiting in line to buy fried pancakes at the entrance, Lu Zhixia watched the person making the food and thought it was something easy to learn.

"Big sister, would you like to pass on your skills?"

The woman laughed and said, "This thing is simple. Just mix the flour and then make a mold like mine."

I quickly made two jianbing guozi and handed them to them, then asked the customers behind me.

"Can you eat spicy food?"

The person replied, "I want extra spicy!"

Lu Zhixia took a few steps to the side, looked around for a while, and then went into the mall with Zhou An'an to shop.

First, buy shoes for the children. The weather is getting cold, and some of them are still barefoot. Just think of those poor little ones.

Lu Zhixia bought a lot of things, and before she knew it, her hands were full. So she could only buy these things and then took a taxi to the tenement.

Entering the desolate path, Zhou An'an felt that this place was truly secluded.

"You just walked in like this last night, weren't you scared?"

As Lu Zhixia walked, she said, "I don't feel anything. I'm not afraid when he's with me."

Zhou An'an burst into laughter; she had found something sweet again.

They soon arrived at the gate of the compound, which was wide open, and went straight in.

I saw the children cooking.

There was only water in the pot, and they were throwing noodles into it, not in large handfuls, but counting as they went.

Lu Zhixia felt heartbroken upon seeing this and quickly went over to talk to them.

"Cook more, Auntie brought noodles, she'll eat with you all."

Upon hearing that more noodles could be cooked, the child who was cooking noodles threw the noodles in his hand into the pot, extremely excited.

Erni came over with firewood. "Sigui, you threw all the noodles in last night."

Lu Zhixia quickly explained to her daughter, "It was my fault for letting it get lost. I bought you a lot of things, so you don't need to be so frugal anymore."

Erni's feelings were quite complicated. Facing this woman, she wanted to call her "Mom," but she couldn't bring herself to say it.

Seeing that there wasn't even any oil or water in the pot, Lu Zhixia quickly took out the braised meat she had brought and threw some in.

The noodles in the pot smelled delicious instantly, and all the children stared at the pot.

Erni put a piece of firewood into the pot and, seeing everyone's reaction, felt that it was good to have a mother.

Lu Zhixia said to Erni, "After dinner, I'll take everyone to shower. I bought you new shoes and new clothes."

When the children heard that they would have new shoes and new clothes, they jumped up with joy.

Erni said shyly, "Thank you!"

Lu Zhixia said, "I know you're feeling awkward. Until you've adjusted, just call me Auntie!"

Erni nodded.

Seeing that the noodles in the pot were cooked, Lu Zhixia picked up a bowl and served them noodles. The children lined up obediently, without fighting or making a fuss.

These children are all very well-mannered, and although they live in difficult conditions, they still live positively.

I ate noodles with them, then boiled water for the children to take turns washing their hair and faces, and then we all washed our feet together.

In just over an hour, they became familiar with the children.

Seeing that their hair was quite long, Erni must have found some scissors, and Lu Zhixia took turns cutting their hair.

After getting their hair cut and changing into new clothes, the group of country kids looked brand new. It was discovered that although some of the children were disabled, they were all quite pretty.

Old Man Fan watched all this from the window. He thought, "This girl is good; she'll definitely treat the child well in the future."

He felt more relaxed than ever before, and felt that he could go find his wife, because sometimes the pain was so bad that it was difficult to even turn over in bed every day.

When Erni entered the room, she saw her grandfather slowly closing his eyes, so she quickly went over to cover him with a blanket.

Old Man Fan sensed movement and opened his eyes again.

Lu Zhixia entered the room. "Grandpa, is something wrong with your health?"

Old Man Fan said, "My body is just like this—"

Lu Zhixia said, "I want to give you a few acupuncture needles to relieve the pain. You need to tell me where you feel uncomfortable."

Old Man Fan looked at her with surprise, "You know medicine?"

Lu Zhixia said, "I don't know much, but I know acupressure for pain relief, and I'd like to try it on you."

Old Fan, desperate as a last resort, said, "My head and legs hurt a bit, and after coming back from the hospital, I felt a chill down my back."

After listening to the old man's account, Lu Zhixia had a general idea of ​​what was going on. She took out the acupuncture box.

"You need to take your clothes off."

Erni's eyes lit up instantly, "Can Grandpa's illness be cured?"

Lu Zhixia said, "I can only give it a try. I need to get my body back in shape first. I plan to take you back in a few days. There is a very skilled doctor named Grandpa Bai who may be able to cure Grandpa's illness."
