Zhou Bin sat in the yard and looked around. He found that the plums in the old man's yard had turned red and looked very tempting.

There is also a small vegetable garden in the distance, where many vegetables are planted. Behind the vegetable garden is a small flower garden, where some beautiful little flowers are planted, which are very bright.

Zhou Bin couldn't help but sigh that although this old man was alone, he kept his house very clean and it seemed that he was a very particular old man.

While Zhou Bin was thinking secretly, the old man had already brought out the water.

Father Li handed the bowl of water to Zhou Bin and said, "Young man, I only have a bowl of water here, no cup, so you can drink from it."

Zhou Bin took the bowl of water and said quickly, "Dad, you don't have to be so polite. Please sit down."

The old man then sat down with a smile, and watched Zhou Bin drink up all the water in the bowl in one gulp. Then he nodded with satisfaction.

Then the old man asked, "Young man, I haven't asked for your name yet?"

Only then did Zhou Bin realize that he had not yet told the old man his name.

So Zhou Bin smiled and said, "Uncle, my name is Zhou Bin."

The old man smiled and said, "Oh, it's Brother Zhou. Where are you from? How did you get here?"

Zhou Bin said hurriedly: "My family is from Mingzhou City. It's a long story. I accidentally walked here."

The old man showed a surprised look on his face and said, "So you are from Mingzhou City. It's a big city, thousands of miles away from here. Are you here for something?"

Zhou Bin knew that he couldn't tell the truth, so he made up an excuse, saying that he came here to look for someone, but didn't find him, and then he didn't know how he ended up here.

After hearing this, the old man did not doubt it and asked about Zhou Bin's family situation.

Zhou Bin told him that both his parents had passed away and he was the only one left at home.

The old man had a sad look on his face after hearing this: "Young man, it turns out that you are a bachelor like me!"

Zhou Bin thought to himself, who is the same as you, it’s just that we got lost on time.

But Zhou Bin didn't say anything. There was no need to tell him these things anyway.

Zhou Bin is still confused. He doesn't know how he ended up in Xiuming Country.

Could it be that I fell asleep and drifted thousands of miles away?

Anyway, these things made Zhou Bin confused and puzzled, and he felt very anxious.

The old man had almost finished his talk, and then hurried back to prepare food for Zhou Bin.

Zhou Bin sat alone in the yard, still thinking about Wanying, Bailong and the others.

I have suddenly arrived at a place thousands of miles away. I don’t know if Wanying and the others have been looking for me. Maybe they are very anxious.

Thinking of this, Zhou Bin really couldn't stay for another quarter of an hour, but there was nothing he could do now and he could only wait patiently.

After a while, Old Man Li brought out some food to entertain Zhou Bin. Zhou Bin saw millet rice, a plate of pickled yellow vegetables, and a few steamed buns.

Father Li smiled and said, "Brother Zhou, we don't have anything good here, so just eat a few bites."

Zhou Bin was indeed hungry at this time. When he saw the golden millet rice, he couldn't help it and started eating it in big mouthfuls.

Although the meal was very simple, Zhou Bin found it very delicious. It was even better than the delicacies he had eaten.

Zhou Bin ate a lot with his mouth wide open, and then he felt much better.

Seeing that Zhou Bin was eating with great relish, Old Man Li hurried over to serve him another bowl, which Zhou Bin took and finished in one go.

After finishing this bowl, Zhou Bin was finally full.

Old Man Li wanted to serve more rice to Zhou Bin, but Zhou Bin said he was full and didn't want to eat anymore.

Old Man Li then took the plate back, and soon he brought Zhou Bin a few plums, letting Zhou Bin eat while talking.

Zhou Bin was very happy and felt very grateful to Old Man Li.

So he couldn't help but want to ask about Old Man Li's situation so that he could give him some help.

"Dad, you said you were alone? Have you always been alone?" Zhou Bin asked cautiously.

Old Man Li did not expect Zhou Bin to ask about this matter. He had a smiling face just now, but suddenly his expression became sad.

He murmured, "No, it turns out I also had a son and a grandson, but they are all gone."

As he spoke, the old man's eyes turned red, as if he was remembering something sad.

Zhou Bin realized that his good intentions had led to bad results, and he felt very embarrassed: "Oh, Dad, I didn't know your family's situation, I'm really sorry!"

Old Man Li did not intend to blame Zhou Bin. Zhou Bin's question just brought back his sad past, and he immediately told Zhou Bin about his family's affairs.

According to Old Man Li, his family has lived in this village for generations.

Because their place is a bit remote, people from outside are unwilling to marry here.

But Old Man Li's son was tall and strong, and had great strength at work, which earned him praise from people around him.

Old Man Li has only this one son. His wife has passed away long ago, and it was Old Man Li who raised his son all by himself with great difficulty.

Now his son is a well-known good boy in the surrounding villages, and he is very proud of him.

When my son turned 18, he faced the dilemma of getting married, just like other young men.

Old Man Li worked day and night to save money for his son's betrothal gift, hoping that his son could get married as soon as possible and that he could have a grandson as soon as possible. Then his life's mission would be accomplished.

But one day, the son suddenly brought back a girl and went straight to meet Old Man Li.
